Chapter 116 Poison
Chapter 116 Poison
Qiao Xiao arrived at a building with her face covered, and took the elevator straight to the top floor.
Upon arrival at her destination, the cloth covering her face was removed, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar face.
Qiao Xiao: "Hehe, what a coincidence to see you here, Mr. Bieber, Mrs. Elisa."
She looked at the two people in front of her, dressed in special clothes. Their auras were completely different from when she first met them; they were unfamiliar and indifferent.
Elisa: "So you really did know who we were all along?"
Qiao Xiao: "Of course, earlier than you all thought of it."
Alyssa: "You're very strong, Qiao Xiao. We've seen your abilities. At the XX Hotel, you killed several of our members. That's really impressive."
Qiao Xiao raised an eyebrow and asked, "So?"
Bieber continued, "So, join us, Joe."
Qiao Xiao: "What if I don't?"
Elisa: "Aren't you worried about Gu Jinghe?"
Qiao Xiao retorted, "You had the ability to bring him here, so why did you release him?"
Bieber: "You may not know that Gu Jinghe and He Ke jointly started a company called AQ."
Qiao Xiao: "Could it be that what you want is inside?"
Elisa: "Qiao Xiao, you always manage to give me unexpected surprises. Yes, he has the latest research and development technology, which is exactly what we need."
Bieber: "Right now, Kobe is meeting with Gu Jinghe. I believe he will seize this opportunity and get what we want directly out of him."
Qiao Xiao: "I can consider joining, but only if I can meet your boss first."
Bieber: "You think you can just see the boss?"
Elisa quickly interrupted and instructed others to make the contact.
Qiao Xiao understood the situation clearly; it was obvious that Alyssa held a higher position than Bieber.
On the other side, Ke drove the car to Mrs. Nancy's house.
Ke wanted to get out of the car to help Gu Jinghe open the door, but Gu Jinghe resolutely refused. He realized that Ke's behavior was too strange and he was extremely annoyed by his eagerness.
Ke seemed to have no scruples. He was probably captivated by the beauty and was completely devoted to Ke's looks. Even if it meant harming Gu Jinghe's interests, he never hid his affection for him on a personal level. Beauty can cloud judgment.
Rossi heard the car outside and immediately went to check. She was immediately attracted by Gu Jinghe's good looks, which were truly rare. But the next second she realized who he was.
Rossi: "Come in quickly and check the wound."
Ke followed behind Gu Jinghe, only to see him walking faster and faster, as if trying to shake him off.
Gu Jinghe said from the doorway, "Excuse me."
They then entered their house.
Rossi: "Let me see your wound."
Gu Jinghe: "That's inconvenient. I'm just here to take refuge. I have no intention of asking this young lady to treat my wounds."
Ke: "Don't push yourself too hard. If you don't get treatment soon, your injury will get worse."
Gu Jinghe: "No need!" His attitude was unusually firm.
Then he said, "I brought my chip, Ke, this is a newly developed technology. If I keep it with me, it will definitely be in danger. This is a new product from AQ, you must protect it well."
Ke: "I know!"
He took the chip from Gu Jinghe, looking overjoyed.
Then, he turned around and went upstairs.
He went straight to a study where Nancy was sitting.
Ke: "Mom, I got the things."
Nancy: "So fast?!"
Ke: "He handed it to me personally."
Nancy: "Ke, Qiao Xiao did save Rossi after all. For her sake, please ask your boss to let her go, okay?"
Ke looked troubled: "You know his identity. How can I possibly get the people he wants out? Right now, the most we can do is protect Gu Jinghe. As for the others, I can't save them."
Nancy's expression changed, and she let out a mournful sigh.
Ke comforted him, "I'll deliver the things to the boss as soon as possible so he knows we've got the chip."
Just then, a phone call broke the silence.
Ke knew who was calling, so he immediately dialed the number, adopting a fawning tone and speaking obsequiously to the person on the other end of the phone.
Ke speaks in fits and starts.
Ke: "Boss, I'll be right there to give it to you."
“Well done. Now I’m going to assign you another task, which is to kill Gu Jinghe.”
Ke: "Boss, what did you say? You want to kill Gu Jinghe? Why?"
"Because he now controls the majority of AQ's shares, I'm 100% certain that AQ will come into our hands. Act now, that's an order!"
Unable to bear it, Ke told Nancy everything.
Ke: "Mom, what should I do?"
Nancy: "Ke, you know, Qiao Xiao saved us, and Gu Jinghe is so important to her. Now we can only find a quick way to kill Gu Jinghe."
Ke stared in disbelief at the kind-hearted middle-aged woman before him. "Mom?"
Nancy: "I'll go get the poison." She set off immediately, not daring to delay for even a moment.
Ke stared in disbelief at Nancy's fluid and skillful movements.
She picked up a bowl of hot water, but finding it too hot, she put on heat-resistant gloves and poured in poison. The high temperature caused the poison to dissolve quickly, leaving it colorless and odorless.
Ke carried the glass of poisoned water downstairs, and when he saw Gu Jinghe's beautiful face, he was somewhat unwilling.
However, for the sake of profit, he had no choice but to harden his heart and say, "I'm sorry, Jinghe."
But just then, Lemi burst in. Don't forget, she's a famous driver; how could she be outmaneuvered by Kobe? She was tall, imposing, and immediately overwhelmed Kobe's aura.
Ke panicked and demanded, "What are you doing? Trespassing on private property, you're asking for death!" After saying that, he turned around to look for a gun.
Gu Jing was surprised. Why would Leimi come to save him at this time? Wasn't the plan to install a tracking device in the chip and then track Qiao Xiao's whereabouts?
Lemi said loudly, "I'm from a charity. I suspect you've purchased illegal drugs. Please come with us to the charity."
Ke: "What contraband?"
At this moment, Nancy slowly walked downstairs. She pretended to be flustered and said, "Oh my god, Ke, I saw it all, and you're still denying it!"
She stared wide-eyed at Ke and said, "That glass of water, the water on the table, I'm certain it was poisoned. I saw it with my own eyes."
Lemi and Nancy exchanged a glance: "Please come with us, Co."
Rossi rushed downstairs. "What happened? Honey, what's wrong?"
Ke: "Me!"
Two burly men appeared behind Lemi and took Ke away.
On Qiao Xiao's side, the leader received a phone call.
"What? Ke was taken away? He's more trouble than he's worth."
