Chapter 187: Gu Zheng Was Poisoned
Song Shiyu continued, “She didn’t release the recording because she wants to give Qiao Rou a chance to correct herself so that she can be a good person again. After all, she’s a public figure. If such a scandal is exposed, her future will be ruined! They’re really close!”
Gu Zheng: “…”
Had water entered this person’s brain?! Gu Zheng should consider changing assistants.
Just then, the butler knocked on the door. “President, Young Madam says she’s going to look for Young Master Qin. She won’t be coming back tonight.”
Swoosh!
Gu Zheng’s expression darkened, and the cup in his hand shattered into countless pieces.
She actually dared to stay out all night?
Furthermore, she was with Qin An?
Gu Zheng’s face darkened. Song Shiyu rolled his eyes and tried to please the president in order to raise his salary.
“President, I think…”
…
Qin An frowned. “Who has night blindness? Is it necessary for you to come looking for me in such a rush?”
Qiao Xi was slightly guilty. “Just tell me if it can be treated.”
Qin An held his chin and pondered. He had stopped working with the Qiao family and got the company’s founding members to pressure Qiao Zhenguo. He thought that Little Six was here to thank him, but who knew that she rushed over in a hurry to ask why a person would lose his eyesight at night?
Qin An looked at her in confusion. “Little Six, from what you described, I don’t think that person has ordinary night-blindness. Although night-blindness reduces one’s vision at night, it doesn’t mean that one is completely blind.”
“Perhaps this isn’t an illness but the effects of a poison.”
Qiao Xi’s expression changed. Was this really the case?
She immediately asked, “Could it be a psychological illness? Because he was always locked in a small dark room when he was young, could it be that the trauma of his childhood caused him to lose his eyesight?”
Qin An fell into deep thought. “That’s also possible, but I don’t think the possibility of a psychological illness causing him to completely lose his eyesight is high. This is because I’ve heard of someone who has the same symptoms as your friend.”
Qin An’s expression turned serious. “She’ll lose her eyesight at night but she’ll recover if it’s light out, so even when she sleeps, she has to switch on the lights. However, she couldn’t take the torture and died.”
Qiao Xi asked, “Who is she?”
“Lu Qingyun,” Qin An said word by word.
Qiao Xi’s heart skipped a beat!
If that was the case, it meant that Gu Zheng and Lu Qingyun were both poisoned by the same poison!
“Miss Lu was poisoned for many years, so even the old man was helpless about it.”
Qin An frowned. The old man was a divine doctor who could save the dying.
However, he could not save Lu Qingyun. He could only watch as she took her last breath.
“After Miss Lu passed away, the old man started researching the antidote to this poison. Perhaps he has already found a way to cure it. Your friend may still be saved.”
Qiao Xi’s head was heavy. She remembered Grandpa saying he had saved many people in his life, but there was one who could not be saved even after he tried his best.
Was Gu Zheng incurable as well?
Just then, her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts.
Song Shiyu’s trembling voice was heard. “Young Madam, President, he…”
Qiao Xi instantly became nervous. “What’s wrong with Gu Zheng?”
Song Shiyu sobbed and said helplessly, “When the president saved you, his arm was injured and his wound is now infected. Sob…”
Qiao Xi’s pupils constricted. “Quickly send him to the hospital!”
“Young Madam, he refuses to go. Why don’t you persuade him?” Song Shiyu sounded sad as he continued acting. “The president refuses to go to the hospital or take medication. I can’t do anything about it. Only you can control him…”
Qiao Xi hurriedly stood up and left.
Qin An was stunned.
Could it be that the friend Little Six was talking about was Gu Zheng?
He had to admit that Gu Zheng was a good man who was very good to Little Six.
However…
The old man might not agree. After all, Miss Lu…
Little Six respected the old man the most. It would be difficult for him to make a decision.
…
Longwan Residential.
Song Shiyu beamed. “President, Young Madam will be back soon!”
Gu Zheng replied indifferently with a trace of fatigue in his eyes.
It was almost evening and the sun had not set. However, he felt a stinging pain in his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, they were extremely dull.
He could only see Song Shiyu’s outline but not his expression.
Gu Zheng closed his eyes. It seemed to have gotten worse.
Qiao Xi hurriedly returned to Longwan Residential. The sun had set. Gu Zheng was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed. The lights in the living room were all switched on, but Song Shiyu and the butler were not around.
Qiao Xi’s footsteps were light as she walked over to Gu Zheng.
Although he was injured, there were no wounds on Gu Zheng’s body.
However, he looked tired and weak…
Qiao Xi suddenly recalled Qin An’s words and her heart trembled. Could it be that the poison in Gu Zheng’s body was acting up?
