1391 Unknowingly Being Targeted
Cheng Ju’an suddenly smiled, his tone filled with mockery. “But He Weinian never expected that not only are you not an ignorant girl, but you’re also the famous hacker, Black Tide.”
Qiao Xi: “…”
Qiao Xi suddenly choked and roared angrily at the phone. “What are you talking about?! How am I not weak? Are you deliberately mocking me?!”
Cheng Ju’an laughed heartily. “Think what you want. Goodbye.”
Before Qiao Xi could retort, Cheng Ju’an hung up. Qiao Xi was angered to the point her face flushed red. She sat on the sofa and calmed down for a while before controlling her emotions.
After calming down, she could not help but think of He Weinian. Why did he get close to her? What was his motive?
Could it be… because of her blood?
With He Weinian’s character, the reason he could put down his dignity and return to Li City, even sacrificing his son to get close to her, was definitely because he was sure that he would obtain huge benefits by doing this. The only thing he could get from her was probably her blood.
Qiao Xi’s gaze suddenly turned cold as she suddenly had a guess. Could it be that He Weinian knew that Kang Jichuan had taken her blood back then and saved Kang Qingzhi?
Unexpectedly, she had already been targeted by so many people!
Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked at Gu Zheng. “Tell me, why did you cut off all contact with He Weinian back then?”
Gu Zheng was wearing white home clothes. As his head was lowered, the hair on his forehead fell slightly. His gold-framed glasses covered his expression, and one could only see him pause for a moment before asking casually, “What are the rumors?”
“Rumor has it that you and He Weinian broke off all ties five years ago, but no one said why. At that time, many people criticized you and said that you must be unwilling to repay your master after obtaining power.”
When she spoke up to this point, a wave of rage surged in Qiao Xi’s heart. “After He Weinian returned to Li City, he took the initiative to give up benefits to Gu Corporation. Everyone is praising him for being tolerant and magnanimous, while you’re heartless and ungrateful. They’re saying you’re holding a grudge against your master because of a small argument five years ago.”
A small argument?
Qiao Xi knew Gu Zheng very well. He had always been clear about gratitude and grudges. He Weinian had helped him back then, so Gu Zheng would naturally remember it in his heart. How could he cut ties with He Weinian just because of a small argument? This was clearly nonsense from someone who did not know!
Gu Zheng smirked. “You’ve heard a lot about me and him?”
Qiao Xi was angry. She was naturally very concerned about Gu Zheng. Moreover, that old fox, He Weinian, was too sneaky. She had to be vigilant at all times and not let He Weinian take advantage of the situation.
Gu Zheng looked up at her, his eyes filled with gentleness. “Don’t be angry anymore. There’s no need.”
Qiao Xi tossed the phone to the side. Out of sight, out of mind.
“Actually, I cut ties with He Weinian mainly because of Gu Weiming. Seeing that Gu Corporation was getting better by the day, Gu Weiming could not help but scheme against me. He Weinian took the opportunity to send Gu Weiming some news, and I happened to realize that my master was not as kind and kind as I thought. Instead, he was the instigator of all the schemes.”
Gu Zheng said quietly, then smiled. “Xi Xi, you know me. You can guess what happened.”
Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng had known each other for ten years. Of course, she understood Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng had never been a kind person. He distinguished gratitude and grudges. He would do his best to repay whoever was good to him. It did not matter even if that person was an evil person.
Moreover, when He Weinian appeared in Gu Zheng’s life, it was during Gu Zheng’s most difficult time. He did not have anyone he could trust. Everyone was trying their best to suppress him, and only He Weinian was helping him. Hence, in Gu Zheng’s heart, He Weinian was probably the most important person to him. It was only when he realized He Weinian’s true colors that He Weinian’s tall image gradually collapsed.
However, even so, Gu Zheng would not completely break off all ties with He Weinian. In the end, Gu Zheng steeled his heart and completely cut off all ties with He Weinian. It must be because of an even crueler truth.
Qiao Xi suddenly raised her eyes and asked, “Did you already know that He Weinian had killed many people?”
“No.” Gu Zheng shook his head and continued, “I just sensed that something was wrong, but I didn’t continue to investigate. I only found out about what He Weinian was secretly doing later.”
That was right! Gu Zheng trusted his master so much. Why would he investigate him behind his back? It was just like how she had never suspected Kang Jichuan back then. They were both betrayed by the people they trusted the most.
