This person had so many precious treasures in his hands that were coveted by many countries. However, he was still able to remain safe. This meant that his strength and wealth could already be compared to some countries.

“What do you find so fascinating, Mrs. Gu?” Gu Zheng asked calmly.

Qiao Xi was shocked and quickly put away her phone. “Gu Zheng, I heard that you locked Shen Ying up?”

The man’s eyes were indifferent as he sneered. Qiao Xi looked as if she had done something wrong.

Qiao Xi looked nervously at Gu Zheng, and she was extremely perturbed in her heart.

Actually, she was not interested in that big shot at all. She did not know who he was either. It was just that she could not let Gu Zheng know about this.

Gu Zheng nodded and said casually, “She caused you to be locked up in the dark room, so I let her have a taste of her own medicine.”

A trace of emotion surged in Qiao Xi’s heart. She opened her mouth and said softly, “Thank you.”

When she raised her head, she met Gu Zheng’s deep eyes.

Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Was it strange for her to say thank you?

Gu Zheng’s eyes were slightly cold. “It was my negligence that gave them the opportunity to do that to you. We don’t need to thank each other in the future.”

Did they not have to say thank you to each other because they were husband and wife so it would be too polite of them or was it because he was the cause of this matter?

Qiao Xi suddenly felt slightly annoyed, a strange feeling.

Gu Zheng seemed to be too protective of her.

“Ah!

At this moment, a scream came from outside.

Qiao Xi could tell that it was Shen Ying’s voice, and the corners of her mouth instantly curled up as she pulled Gu Zheng along and charged out.

“The delicate flower is being beaten up? I want to go take a look!”

The Gu family’s butler watched as Qiao Xi held Gu Zheng’s hand, and his heart thumped. Young Master had never been intimate with others. It seemed that he would definitely be angry this time.

In the dark room.

Song s.h.i.+yu held the board that was full of thorns and looked calm. “Miss Shen, sorry for offending you.”

With that, he raised the board.

At this moment, Madam Gu felt a stinging pain on her face. She reached out to touch it and realized that there was a b.u.mp on her originally smooth face. There was more than one b.u.mp, and it was extremely frightening.

She thought that it was because Gu Zheng had angered her, but when she looked up, she realized that Madam w.a.n.g’s face was covered in red b.u.mps as well.

“Ah!!!”

Shen Ying’s screams echoed throughout the dark room. “My face hurts! a.s.sistant Song, what did you do?”

Madam Gu turned to look at Shen Ying. Her originally smooth and fair face was now full of disgusting b.u.mps. One of them was accidentally punctured and yellow pus was flowing out.

Just then, she felt a sharp pain in her face.

Shen Ying looked at Madam Gu and Madam w.a.n.g before screaming in horror.

Song s.h.i.+yu looked helpless. “Miss Shen, I think you shouldn’t shout anymore. Why don’t we continue tomorrow? You can go back and calm down first.”

Shen Ying’s tears fell like rain. Her salty tears came into contact with her wound, and her body trembled in pain. “My face is ruined but you still want to hit me? Boo-hoo…”

Madam Gu immediately instructed the servants to bring a mirror over. When she saw her reflection, she immediately screamed in shock.

At this moment, Qiao Xi held Gu Zheng’s hand and walked unhurriedly to the door of the dark room. When she heard the shouting inside, she said in a low voice, “Why are the three of them shouting at the same time?”

The dark room was in a mess. The three women shouted miserably, “Call the doctors! Help!”

Qiao Xi craned her head in to take a look, and the corners of her mouth curled into a cold smile. “You deserve it!”

Gu Zheng lowered his head to look at Qiao Xi and said casually, “The entire Gu family’s residence is monitored. We’ll know who attacked them in less than ten minutes.”

Qiao Xi was not nervous in the slightest and said indifferently, “Oh.”

After a while, the doctors rushed over and examined them. They soon came to a conclusion.

“The three of you have been poisoned. This is a strange herb from an African tribe. It’s not very toxic, but after the fruit and leaves are extracted, it becomes a type of poison. The extraction process is very complicated and the price is very high. The poison also has a certain incubation period, so the exact timing of when they were poisoned is unknown.”

Gu Zheng looked at Qiao Xi. “Aren’t you afraid?”

Qiao Xi pretended to be surprised. “Why should I be afraid? I wasn’t the one who poisoned them. I’m just a country b.u.mpkin. I’ve never been to Africa at all. How could I have such a strange poison with me? Why would a weak and helpless girl like me poison them?”

Gu Zheng: “…”

Never mind, even if they found out that it was Qiao Xi who did it, it was no big deal. So long as he was around, he would not let anyone touch a single strand of Qiao Xi’s hair.

The doctors did a detailed check-up on the three of them, then said with a serious expression, “Madam Gu, this poison can be spread through the air. We predict you came into contact with it about four hours ago.”

Four hours?

Madam Gu abruptly turned her head and looked at Qiao Xi with vicious eyes. She was furious. “You actually dared to poison me! I’m your mother-in-law! You’re so vicious to want me to be disfigured! You’re too vicious!”

Shen Ying and Madam w.a.n.g were sobbing.
