Chapter 1409 - Can He Be Even More Mean?
Chapter 1409: Can He Be Even More Mean?
It was only then that Mu Sihan released Bai Ye’s arm.
With a silent grumble, Bai Ye rubbed his arm that was almost broken. He did not dare to talk nonsense and said immediately, “Young Master Li gave Miss Cen a jade ring which had Seven Colored Flower Poison inside. Miss Cen was poisoned and fell into a coma. In order to save Miss Cen, Young Master Qiao broke into the no man’s land. The price that Young Master Li wanted him to pay for getting the antidote was to inject a red liquid into his body.
“Young Master Qiao has only three months to live after injecting that liquid. It’s not that he wants to leave the Qiao family and doesn’t want to contact you, but his life has come to an end. He did not want you to see him die.”
No… Nan Zhi’s slender and tall body took several steps back unsteadily when she heard Bai Ye’s words. Her fair hand covered her mouth and tears fell from her eyes in an instant.
No one could understand the feeling of being poisoned by the deadly poison of the criminal organization.
That year, she had almost died.
Now, Uncle had to bear such pain!
At that time, she was saved by Gu Sheng. Now that Young Master Li was dead, who was going to save Uncle?
When Mu Sihan saw Nan Zhi’s tears pouring down like rain, he strode over to her, held her head and pulled her into his arms. Nan Zhi clutched at Mu Sihan’s suit with both hands and cried for some time before she finally calmed down. If it was something else, she would never have lost control of her emotions with her current psychological endurance.
Her heart really ached for her uncle. She could understand the despair, helplessness and fear of dying from being poisoned.
Mu Sihan patted the back of Nan Zhi gently while he lifted his eyes to look at Bai Ye. “You can’t develop an antidote?”
Bai Ye shook his head.
Nan Zhi raised her head from Mu Sihan’s chest, wiped away the tears from her face and quickly collected her surging emotions. Because she knew that tears were the most useless thing at this time.
The most important thing now was to find Uncle. She did not believe that the most advanced medical team could not find an antidote to save Uncle. How would they know if they didn’t try!
But now, Uncle was hiding and it would not be easy to find him!
Nan Zhi wanted to contact the R Lands, but Mu Sihan stopped her and pressed her to sit on the sofa. “Zhizhi, think about it. Previously when I was hiding, who was it that found me?”
Nan Zhi and Mu Sihan had good chemistry now. As soon as he spoke, she understood what he meant.
“I’ll call Cen Xi.”
Nan Zhi knew that Qiao Yanze did not want Cen Xi to worry so he chose to leave alone and even hid it from her, but as his family, she could not watch him die like this.
She couldn’t.
As a woman, she felt that Cen Xi would feel the same as her when she knew about this.
Nothing was more important than living!
Even if there was no way to save him, at least, there would be his family and the person he loved being with him on his final journey!
She had to try.
…
Cen Xi received a call from Nan Zhi and felt a little uneasy. Nan Zhi must have been unable to get in touch with Qiao Yanze and called her because she had no other choice.
But even when Cen Xi tried to call Qiao Yanze, his phone was turned off. Just as she was hesitating whether to call Nan Zhi to ask about the situation, her phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Cen Zi quickly answered it.
“Xiao Xi, can you come back to the Capital?”
Cen Xi heard Nan Zhi’s heavy tone and realized that something bad must have happened. Instead of asking her the reason on the phone, she immediately agreed. “Okay, I’ll book the ticket right away.”
…
After a long flight, Cen Xi arrived at the Capital Airport. Nan Zhi came to meet Cen Xi personally.
When Cen Xi saw Nan Zhi standing at the airport pick-up, the bad feeling in her heart became even stronger.
Something must have happened to Qiao Yanze. It had to be very serious for the Queen to pick her up at the airport personally. Pursing her lips, Cen Xi could feel the hand pulling her suitcase was clammy with cold sweat.
Nan Zhi waved at Cen Xi when she saw her coming out. Walking over to Nan Zhi, Cen Xi greeted her politely.
Nodding towards Cen Xi, Nan Zhi asked the bodyguard to take Cen Xi’s suitcase and took Cen Xi to the car.
“Your Majesty, what happened to Young Master Qiao?”
Nan Zhi only nodded again before she started to explain. She did not want to hide from Cen Xi about how Uncle had been poisoned by Young Master Li in order to save her.
When Cen Xi heard Nan Zhi’s words, she felt like she was fixed in one place, stunned and could not move for a long time.
She felt suffocated.
“Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi?”
Hearing Nan Zhi’s voice, Cen Xi slowly regained her senses. She blinked and while suppressing the urge to cry, she said with trembling lips, “W-Why is he so silly? How could he do that?”
He was so silly to the point of giving up his life for her!
That night, he had said, ‘Cen Xi, let’s end here!’
It was in fact not because he really wanted to end it, but he felt that he did not have much time left, so he had no choice but to say those words! She had always thought that in their relationship, she had loved him more.
It wasn’t like that!
They could sacrifice themselves for each other!
If she had known that he would trade his life for hers, she would never have agreed!
“Your Majesty, now that he has left the Capital, no one can contact him at all?”
Cen Xi was indeed as intelligent as Nan Zhi gave her credit for. Nan Zhi nodded with a heavy expression. “I’ve tried many ways to find him, but it’s like he has vanished into thin air. The last place he stopped by was in the R Lands. I’m going to send someone to continue to look there. On your side, try to think if he has ever taken you to places that are meaningful to him. Let’s split up and search, okay?”
Cen Xi nodded. “Okay.”
…
After Cen Xi put her suitcase in her apartment, she circled around the outskirts of the city. In her search, she went to the places she and Qiao Yanze had been to before.
But, she did not see the familiar figure.
When night fell, Cen Xi walked on the street that was bright with lights. Thinking of how Qiao Yanze might be suffering and dying slowly, her heart felt like a knife had been twisted inside.
Unconsciously, she had walked to the front door of the villa where she and Qiao Yanze had stayed together for a short period of time.
The villa was brightly lit, and there were several heavy-duty construction vehicles parked outside. Da Zuo and Xiao Zuo were inside. It seemed like they were having a dispute with the driver of the construction vehicle.
Cen Xi pushed the door. It was unlocked and opened when she pushed it.
“This is our Young Master’s villa. It’s his property. No one has the right to demolish it!” Da Zuo had his sleeves rolled up as he glared fiercely at the drivers with his eyes red.
“Your Young Master’s? We came here to demolish this villa under the instruction of the Second Master of the Qiao family! Now the whole Qiao family belongs to the Second Master. Your Young Master has been driven out from the Qiao family. This is the property of the Qiao family, so naturally, our Second Master has the right to make decisions!”
Cen Xi’s blood froze when she heard that Qiao Yanze was driven out from the Qiao family.
“Don’t blame us for being rude if you continue to block our way. Everybody, get in the trucks. We have work to do!”
Snapping out of her reverie, Cen Xi strode over with big steps, saying with a cold voice, “Stop, no one is allowed to tear this place down!”
