Upon hearing Qiao Xuebing's words, Qiao Shancun trembled all over again!
To take Qiao Shanxing's place and become the number one person in the Qiao family—wasn't this exactly what he had always wanted to do Wasn't it also something that he was currently striving for Why should he hesitate at a time like this
"Second Brother, what are you still hesitating about! The opportunity is fleeting!" Qiao Xuebing appeared exceptionally resolute!
"Even if Qiao Jing is as capable as she is, with the Old Master in charge, it's impossible for her to do anything to the Qiao family. But Qiao Shanxing is different; he will always be a heavy burden on your head, one that you'll carry for life! If you don't step forward this time, there might never be another chance!"
"Let me think about it some more!" This time around, the flames of desire finally began to ignite in Qiao Shancun's eyes.
Where am I
Qiao Shanxing struggled to awaken, feeling an intense headache. All he could see was white—white sheets on his bed and white walls. The air smelled of disinfectant.
"Where am I" Qiao Shanxing's mind kept asking this question. He endured the pain in his head and tried to sit up, only to find that his left arm was heavily bandaged in plaster. Any movement sent shooting pains through him, making it impossible for him to support himself.
Before losing consciousness, Qiao Shanxing's last memory was of his car colliding with a construction vehicle and then crashing over the guardrail into a ravine. He couldn't recall anything that had happened after that.
This wasn't a coincidence! Qiao Shianxing quickly made his judgment about the car accident in his mind, but at present, he couldn't think clearly. His head felt like it had fractured from the impact; any attempt to use his brain caused excruciating pain!
"This time, I lost terribly." Qiao Shianxing wanted to crack a smile, but the wound on his face pulled, making him inhale sharply in pain.
After all these years of hard work and dedication, he had ended up with such a result. One misstep led to total defeat, and one couldn't help but say that fate really liked playing tricks on him.
However, the only favorable news for Qiao Shianxing at this moment was—he was still alive.
"Is anyone here" Qiao Shianxing called out with his mouth, but sadly realized that his throat was so dry it could barely produce any sound.
He was sure he hadn't fallen into the hands of his enemy; otherwise, he wouldn't be alive at this moment.
The door to the room opened then, and Qiao Shianxing saw a familiar figure appear before him.
Wang Zheng.
"It was me who saved you." Wang Zheng had the virtue of honesty; he didn't have any lofty notion about not needing thanks for great deeds. As he spoke, he poured Qiao Shianxing a glass of water and handed it to him.
Qiao Shianxing took the cup with his uninjured hand, gulping down all the water inside in big mouthfuls, slightly soothing his parched throat.
"So, how do you plan on thanking me" Wang Zheng said with a smile as he pulled up a chair and crossed his legs casually by Qiao Shianxing's bedside.
"What's going on" Qiao Shanxing's voice was hoarse. Having reached his current position, what kind of plots and tricks hadn't he seen He naturally wouldn’t easily believe Wang Zheng. Moreover, in Qiao Shanxing’s mind, Wang Zheng and Qiao Jing were the primary suspects; if anything happened to him, these two would be the first ones under suspicion.
"Do you think I arranged for someone to run you over" From Qiao Shanxing's expression, Wang Zheng could tell what he was thinking.
Qiao Shanxing nodded without any concealment. This behavior infuriated Wang Zheng: "You're quite honest. Although we are rivals, even if I were to deal with you, I wouldn’t resort to such despicable methods. Only the most incapable person would do that. Do you really think I'm that kind of person"
"I don't know you very well," Qiao Shanxing said.
"But honestly, seeing you wrapped up like a zongzi makes me quite happy." Wang Zheng was immediately provoked by Qiao Shanxing’s words and retorted without backing down.
Qiao Shanxing could only roll his eyes in response; he had no energy to engage in verbal sparring with Wang Zheng now.
"Think about it. If I were the one behind this, wouldn't it be easier just to get rid of you Why go through all the trouble to rescue you Isn’t that pointless"
Wang Zheng looked at Qiao Shanxing as if he were a fool: "With your intelligence, how could you not consider that if something happened to you now, suspicion would immediately fall on me and Qiao Jing. How does that make sense It’s a total loss for me!"
"Then, how did you know I’d be in trouble there" Qiao Shanxing stared at Wang Zheng and slowly said this question was well thought out; his place of trouble was so remote and far away, down the slope at night. How could Wang Zheng rescue him accurately If there were no fishy business behind it, even a ghost wouldn’t believe it!
"Look at you, barking at Lu Tongseng [a deity], not recognizing good intentions," Wang Zheng leaned in close to Qiao Shanxing and said: "Are you saying my intelligence is on par with a pig Can't figure out such an obvious thing Obviously, I had someone tailing you!"
Qiao Shanxing nearly spat blood from this answer. If it was a follow, why announce it so openly
"Why are you following me"
Wang Zheng didn’t want to talk to Qiao Shanxing anymore: "Young Master Qiao, did your intelligence drop linearly after the accident You’re my rival now. If I’m not tracking you, whom else should I be trailing"
Qiao Shanxing fell silent, tacitly acknowledging the reasonableness of Wang Zheng’s explanation.
"Have you ever thought about who set up this trap for you in the car accident" Wang Zheng put away his disdainful expression and asked suddenly.
Qiao Shanxing glanced at Wang Zheng without answering. Deep down, he didn’t want to discuss such a sensitive topic with someone like Wang Zheng whom he barely knew and trusted even less.
But in Qiao Shanxing’s mind, he already had an answer regardless of how close it was to the truth. To him, this judgment seemed optimal.
The suspects were limited to a few individuals: either himself or someone else.
More than ten years ago, when Qiao Jing, the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, experienced something similar, and now, with Qiao Shanxing at his peak, he too could fall victim to something alike.
"Don’t make such a face; it looks as if everyone owes you money. I’m your lifesaver here, so shouldn’t you owe me instead" Wang Zheng said casually: "Comrade Qiao Shanxing, from now on, answer every question I ask."
"Alright." Qiao Shanxing nodded, but he was about to realize that this would be the most regrettable action of his life.
“My first question,” said Wang Zheng: “How much do you think your life is worth”nted to prevent Su Fuhua from enjoying his birthday in peace and stir up some commotion instead. Mentioning the unluckiness of a disrupted birthday celebration touched on Su Fuhua’s sensitive points.P...
