Chapter 65: The Person Who Plotted This
Xu Qing turned around and retreated, avoiding the middle-aged man’s attack. She said in a low voice, “Sizhi, stop him.”
Xu Sizhi instantly blocked that man. While everyone was stunned, Xu Qing carried the dead child over and quickly unbuttoned her clothes. The child was so thin that even her bones could be seen clearly, and her stiff body was covered in bruises.
Xu Qing looked at the child with cold eyes. “Is this how you treat your daughter? She’s already skin and bones. And what’s with the injuries?”
Everyone couldn’t help but gasp. These two people were really beasts. They actually treated their children like this.
The middle-aged couple avoided eye contact and retorted, “That’s because she fell out of bed and got wounded.”
Everyone wanted to sneer. How could such an injury be caused by a fall? It was clearly caused by someone.
Xu Qing still carried the child and walked to the crib. She touched it and sneered. “This bed is indeed toxic.”
The moment she said this, everyone was in an uproar. The owner actually admitted that there was a problem with her product?
“See, I knew it,” the middle-aged man said proudly.
Xu Qing chuckled. “But the poison on this is not fatal. It will only make people grow red rashes on their bodies. Moreover, this child doesn’t have such poison on her body. This poison was clearly applied later, and this child died of a fever.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? If you don’t give us an explanation, we’ll report you to the cops,” the middle-aged man said with an apprehensive expression.
Xu Qing said calmly, “Sure.”
This time, the middle-aged man felt even more apprehensive. His eyes darted around as he thought of a solution. Then, he turned around and was about to run.
“Sizhi.” Xu Qing saw through the middle-aged man’s intentions and gestured to Xu Sizhi.
Xu Sizhi was even faster. He captured them and brought them to justice. Unfortunately, they didn’t find the person behind them.
The person who planned this accident deliberately hid his identity. Xu Qing didn’t have any power now, so she didn’t know where to start investigating. However, after this incident, she felt dejected.
Xu Sizhi asked in confusion, “Hasn’t the matter been resolved? What are you still worried about?”
“How can it be that easy?” Xu Qing frowned. The mastermind was very smart. When she still couldn’t figure out his background, he came up with a scheme to test her strength.
Unfortunately, this person probably did not expect her to deal with it without using any power.
However, in this way, although the person behind her was afraid of her, she was also afraid of this person.
Xu Qing pondered for a long time and suddenly stopped. “Sizhi, I need some sort of faction to protect me in the dark.”
Xu Sizhi looked at Xu Qing’s figure and his gaze became firm. “Don’t worry. I will create a perfect faction for you.”
“I want to see it done in three months,” Xu Qing said in a low voice. This was the longest she could last. The person behind this incident definitely wouldn’t stop and would definitely continue. However, sooner or later, the other party would discover that she didn’t have any power or backing…
Therefore, before that, she had to have power to resist. Even if she couldn’t resist, she definitely had to make the other party truly afraid.
“Alright.” Xu Sizhi had no objections to Xu Qing’s decision. He only wanted to help her quickly.
Xu Qing thought of a solution and returned to the village. She saw Li Helan waiting anxiously at the door. When she saw her, she hurriedly said, “Something happened to Little Qing. Your grandmother found out that my family is working for you. They’re waiting at your house now.”
When Xu Qing heard this, her gaze darkened. It seemed that the lesson from last time was not enough. This family actually dared to come out and pester her again.
Li Helan saw Xu Qing’s displeased expression and said guiltily, “Little Qing, I’m sorry… My mother let it slip when she asked my grandfather and the others to help. They heard it…”
“It was going to happen sooner or later. You don’t have to blame yourself,” Xu Qing comforted. Actually, she was not surprised that Chen Qiulian and her family knew.
As expected, when Xu Qing returned, she saw Chen Qiulian and her family looking at the half-built house greedily.
“Mother, this house should be ours. What right does that bitch Xu Qing have to live in such a big and luxurious house?” Xu Yunqiao was overcome with envy.
Chen Qiulian also wanted this house very much. Coupled with the fact that she was almost chased out because of Xu Qing last time, causing her precious son to be punished, she couldn’t wait to punish Xu Qing. She had always wanted to find trouble with her.
