Chapter 840: Chapter 566: She’s Taking Revenge
When n Chao ca over, he saw Xu Xuezi in this frenzied state.
Her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were bloodshot.
Seeing n Chao approaching, Xu Xuezi panicked: “Darling, why are you here? Don’t co over.”
Xu Xuezi covered her face with the quilt, refusing to let n Chao see.
n Chao raised his brow slightly, his brows furrowing: “How did you end up like this?”
Xu Xuezi naturally didn’t answer, but the attendant beside her answered for her: “The madam initially contacted a doctor, who said they could perform surgery to heal her leg. But it seems that’s not the case, and now the madam is having a hard ti accepting the truth.”
She felt sorry for the madam when she heard.
Originally a healthy person with two functioning kidneys, now she only has one left.
n Chao was indifferent to what Xu Xuezi had been through: “Since it was her own choice, she must bear it regardless of the result. Stay here and recuperate.”
Thinking n Chao was about to leave, Xu Xuezi erged from the quilt: “Darling, I know I acted impulsively, but I just wanted to stand up soon and be by your side. Darling, I’m sorry. I didn’t know they were frauds, they even tricked into stealing the key to the basent to give them.”
Xu Xuezi cried and complained, feeling very sad inside.
n Chao’s eyes turned sharp, and he rushed in front of Xu Xuezi, squeezing her chin with one hand: “What did you say? Say it again.”
“Lan Shuixian said she could invite a foreign doctor to operate on , with a fifty percent chance of standing up. I was moved and begged her to help . But she had one condition: that I give her the key to the basent.” Xu Xuezi looked at n Chao through her tears, but n Chao was filled only with anger.
“Xu Xuezi, do you even know what you’re doing?” n Chao released her at once, saying, “If sothing happens to the Xu Family because of this, you’ll be the cause.”
He imdiately released Xu Xuezi and turned, striding out.
He needed to quickly return to see if anything was missing or amiss in the basent.
n Chao hadn’t reached ho yet when he saw police officers arrive at the Xu Family residence. Seeing n Chao return from outside, the head of the police station stepped forward: “Family Head n, we’ve received a report saying your Xu Family is harboring the results of Case 139 years ago. I’ve reported this to Master Gu; he should be arriving soon. My surna is Pan, Family Head Xu, please lead the way. We need to search the interior of the Xu Family. Here is the search warrant; we hope Family Head n will cooperate.”
Captain Pan is a subordinate of the Yu Family’s leader, who assigned him to lead the team after receiving the report.
n Chao nodded: “Please.”
However, he understood that the Xu Family was likely in trouble this ti.
Since the mont Old Xu was hidden by the Gu Family, soone wanted to eliminate the Xu Family.
Captain Pan was very courteous; after all, the Xu Family was powerful in the Imperial Capital, and he instructed his team to follow protocol and not act rashly.
n Chao watched them enter, squinting as he thought about the basent, turning to head there.
Why did those people need the basent key so badly?
He avoided the police and went to the basent alone.
The Xu Family was so vast that it couldn’t be fully examined in one go; when they reached the basent, it was about half an hour later.
Opening the basent door, he carefully entered and closed the door gingerly.
To be precise, there was nothing special in the Xu Family’s basent, just a practice room, a storage room, and a weapon room.
He entered quietly, found the light switch, and turned on the lights.
At a glance, the arrangent here was different from usual.
“Master.” Yin Li’s voice sounded from outside: “Master Gu has arrived and wants to inspect the basent.”
n Chao was taken aback, then smiled wryly; Gu Yecheng ca quickly, seemingly heading straight for the basent.
After a glance around the basent, finding nothing suspicious, he turned to open the door.
Outside stood Gu Yecheng in a military-green uniform, his eyebrows like blades.
Seeing n Chao step out, he stepped forward: “Family Head n, sorry for this, but we’re just following protocol.”
“No problem, go ahead and search; I’m also curious about what my ho is hiding.”
Gu Yecheng waved to those behind him: “Go in and search.”
He also put on gloves and walked inside.
The arrangent inside was simple and uncomplicated.
“Boss, there’s nothing.”
“Boss, no discoveries.”
Gu Yecheng stood before a chest made of red rosewood, speaking to Ye Fei beside him: “Ye Fei, take this box out.”
Ye Fei had people carry the box outside.
The box appeared old, with intricate carvings on the outside, like a fine relic left by ancestors.
n Chao approached, looking at the small box before him, frowning.
He hadn’t noticed this box before.
It was a combination lock box with a complex chanism, and Gu Yecheng’s people tried several tis but couldn’t open it.
“Family Head n, do you know the password to this box? Or do you know how to open it?” Gu Yecheng looked at n Chao.
n Chao stepped up to the box, tried a few tis and failed: “Perhaps you could ask Grandfather; maybe he knows.”
Gu Yecheng was about to act when he heard Ye Fei’s alard voice: “Sir, it’s bad. The air in the basent is toxic, two of our personnel have passed out.”
“Have everyone withdraw.” Gu Yecheng made a swift decision, his eyes turning to n Chao, speaking lightly: “Family Head n, what’s going on here.”
Ye Fei commanded the retreat and moved the two unconscious n to an open area.
Gu Yecheng imdiately stepped forward to check their pulses; it was indeed poisoning.
He took out so detoxification pills from his person and stuffed them into their mouths.
Once everything was settled, Gu Yecheng looked at n Chao: “Family Head n, can you explain?”
“I think it must be sothing they touched; I was in there just now, but I’m perfectly fine. The others were in there too, and there’s no issue.”
“What did the two of them touch?” Gu Yecheng asked Ye Fei.
“An ancient vase, they reached inside it, and soon enough they fainted.
So, the vase they touched was problematic.
“Hand a gas mask, I’ll go in and have a look.”
Ye Fei imdiately retrieved a gas mask from the equipnt and handed it to Gu Yecheng.
…
The Xu Family’s personnel were restricted from leaving, even n Chao himself couldn’t go out. Until the matter was resolved, no one from the Xu Family could freely enter or exit.
Gu Yecheng watched as Bai Liuniang exited the lab, rushing forward: “Old Bai, how is it, any findings?”
Bai Liuniang had a weary look, probably from aging and waning stamina.
“There are indeed so things left from the old lab, but after so many years of changes, these things have now beco potentially harmful to everyone’s safety, so they must be destroyed quickly and never allowed to see the light of day.”
“We found only a small amount of residue in the Xu Family, with no clue of how much and where they’re stored. According to n Chao, the basent key was taken from him by Xu Xuezi and given to Lan Shuixian and others.”
“Soone is just trying to draw your attention; the real mastermind is still hiding behind the scenes.” It’s clear that the intention was to make the Gu Family release Old Xu.
“The opponent is playing a big chess ga.”
“Indeed.”
…
Lan Shuixian looked at the man opposite her, lit a cigarette, gently inhaling and exhaling in slow puffs.
One must admit, Su Xiaofeng truly has a good life, finding such an attractive and capable man.
“Master Gu, you suddenly ca looking for ; is it because I’ve done sothing illegal?” Lan Shuixian laughed lightly, looking at Gu Yecheng, the curve of her lips beautifully ford.
“So, n’s wife said that before her surgery, she gave her ho’s basent key to you. I’m here to ask, what does a club owner like you want with the Xu Family’s basent key? Do you have any ulterior motives towards the Xu Family?”
“Ah, look at you, pinning such a big accusation on . At the ti, n’s wife genuinely believed I had connections to treat her leg, so I casually ntioned a condition. Who knew she really delivered her ho’s basent key to ? But I truly didn’t want it and returned it imdiately. If you don’t believe , you can ask n’s wife if I returned it.”
“Now, so unsavory things have been found in the Xu Family’s basent, and n’s wife accuses you, saying you might be involved. What do you have to say?” Gu Yecheng pursed his lips, watching her intently.
“That n’s wife too, she’s just retaliating. Here’s the situation: she asked to get a doctor for her surgery and I did indeed invite one. But I had no idea the invited doctor had issues and did not perform the leg surgery, but instead removed one of her kidneys. For that, she wishes harm and vengeance. Master Gu, I assure you, I hold no grudge against the Xu Family; it’s definitely not . This is just n’s wife retaliating by shifting the bla to , making you suspect .”
Even if Xu Xuezi foolishly confessed, it doesn’t prove anything, nothing at all.
