Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1438 I Saw A Trace Of Qiao Xi’s In Her

Qiao Xi’s tone was calm. “Ah Zheng, I told you about Kang Jichuan. Do you think He Weinian knows Kang Jichuan? Since He Weinian was so determined to return to the country, it means that he already knows the use of my blood. If a sly old fox like him had only heard rumors, he wouldn’t have brought his entire family back to Li City. At the very least, he would’ve investigated first and avoided alerting the enemy.

“That’s why I think he might have seen for himself what my blood can do. So there must be some connection between him and Kang Jichuan. At the very least, they must have met.”

He Weinian must have known that Kang Jichuan had taken her blood and used it to save someone. That was why he brought his family back to Li City.

The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled up slightly as she sneered. “Since He Weinian and Kang Jichuan are both our enemies, how can I let He Wenxian go to jail so easily? I must let her reveal her true colors bit by bit. Moreover, there’s a huge secret behind He Wenyin and Cheng Juan. If He Weinian is alerted, we won’t be able to continue investigating Cheng Juan.”

Gu Zheng pursed his lips. Cheng Juan was probably the person in the world who wanted He Weinian to fall the most. He carried a huge grudge and would become their most powerful helper.

…

At the entrance of the venue.

He Wenyin hummed a tune as she walked out. She specially avoided the crowd and prepared to take a taxi.

“Miss He.”

He Wenyin stopped in her tracks, her eyes sharp as she slowly turned around.

Cheng Juan could clearly feel the killing intent exuding from her body. When she saw the man in front of her clearly, the killing intent in her eyes dissipated. Her round eyes were filled with doubt, then she smiled sweetly. “Oh! Mr. Cheng!”

Cheng Juan: “…”

Why did he feel like he saw a trace of Qiao Xi on He Wenyin?

He Wenyin’s face and eyes were round. She had fair skin and two dimples when she smiled. She looked like an innocent and cute little sister. It was not difficult for her to act cute. “Mr. Cheng, why are you looking for me?”

Cheng Juan could not help but hold his forehead and say helplessly, “Alright, don’t pretend to be innocent in front of me.”

He Wenyin pretended to be stupid. “What are you talking about, Mr. Cheng?! I don’t understand!”

“We met at the banquet of the noble daughter of Y Nation five years ago.” Cheng Juan went straight to the point.

He Wenyin narrowed her round eyes and let out a cold glint. The corners of her mouth were clearly still curled up, but her eyes were terrifyingly cold. She said coldly, “Cheng Juan, what exactly are you trying to do?”

“Xi Xi came back from Y Nation five years ago. You were also in Y Nation at that time. Is it a coincidence?”

He Wenyin snorted. “It’s just a coincidence. At that time, I didn’t know Qiao Xi at all.”

“What about He Weinian?” Cheng Juan’s voice carried a trace of probing. “Does He Weinian know Kang Jichuan?”

Kang Jichuan…

He Wenyin slowly said, “I’ve never heard of this person, but the He family did go to Y Nation five years ago. I know that you and Qiao Xi are good friends, so I’m willing to talk to you. However, you have to tell me what you want to know.”

“Second Miss He.” Cheng Juan’s expression suddenly turned cold. Strong hatred burst out of his eyes. He gritted his teeth and asked, “Do you know that He Weinian once sponsored an orphanage?”

He Wenyin nodded.

“Miss He, do you know that those orphans are all dead?”

He Wenyin’s pupils constricted as she looked at Cheng Juan in shock. She seemed to understand something.

Cheng Juan’s heart was filled with hatred. He gritted his teeth and said word by word, “Other than me, they’re all dead.”

“You want to kill He Weinian?” He Wenyin was enlightened.

Yes, not only did he want to kill him, but he also wanted to kill his entire family!

Tears welled up in Cheng Juan’s eyes. He slowly looked up and clenched his fists.

When He Wenyin found out that Cheng Juan and He Weinian had a grudge, she said in relief, “Kang Jichuan and He Weinian know each other. Moreover, you must’ve heard that Kang Jichuan believes in ghosts and gods. Since five years ago, he has always invited exorcists to his house to perform rituals. He even insists on going into seclusion every month to pray for blessings. However, Kang Jichuan grew up in Y Nation and doesn’t have any family members who believe in ghosts and gods. So why did he suddenly believe in these things?

“I’ve sent someone to investigate it. I heard that Kang Jichuan goes into seclusion to pray for blessings for someone who passed away, but he announced to the public that he’s praying for his sister and mother. Moreover, Kang Jichuan often goes to remote areas. He Weinian has also gone there with him. That’s all I know.”

Cheng Juan lowered his eyes. When all the clues were linked together, they seemed to form a line. That was the truth!
