Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 1567 Fleeing

Kang Jichuan instantly came back to his senses. He seemed to have been hypnotized just now and almost told the truth. Did Xi Xi recover her memory?

At that instant just now, Kang Jichuan seemed to have returned to that day five years ago. At that time, Xi Xi's gaze was the same as now. It was cold, full of despair and resentment as well as a trace of determination.

At this moment, his mind was a mess. For the first time, he felt flustered. Everyone's eyes were filled with doubt as if they had already discovered the secret he had been hiding for many years.

He was the earl of Y Nation. If his past was exposed, not only would his reputation be ruined, but he would also lose his noble identity, money, and freedom.

Kang Jichuan's heart was filled with fear. He did not dare to raise his head to look at Qiao Xi and could only say in a low voice, "Xi Xi, I shouldn't have forced you. It's my fault. I… I'll take my leave first."

With that said, Kang Jichuan left in a hurry. Qin An shouted, "Young Master Kang, don't you need me to treat Miss Kang?"

Kang Jichuan naturally did not answer. He could not wait to fly out of Longwan Residential. Qin An watched him leave in a panic and sneered. "As expected, Kang Qingzhi isn't sick at all. Otherwise, why isn't he in a rush to find a doctor? He probably just wants to force Little Six to apologize to Kang Qingzhi, right?"

Uncle Sheng and Xiao Lan looked at each other and left together.

At this moment, only Qin An and the other two were left in the room. He asked, "Little Six, don't you want to know how Kang Jichuan found out about your blood…"

He paused and looked around. "Let's talk in the study."

This matter was too important and concerned Little Six's life, so he had always been careful.

The three of them entered the study together and closed the door. Only then did Qin An say again, "You asked me to help you out. Did I go overboard with my words just now? I scared Kang Jichuan away. How are you going to get information from him now?"

Gu Zheng walked to the table on the other side, put on his gold-framed glasses, and flipped open the document. He looked like he was preparing for work.

Qin An glanced at Gu Zheng, then leaned closer to Qiao Xi and asked in a low voice, "Gu Zheng… is Gu Weiming's biological son?"

Qiao Xi looked at him in surprise. "Yes! What clues have you found? Are they related to Gu Zheng?"

Qin An shook his head. "It's not a clue. I just think it's quite strange that that good-for-nothing Gu Weiming actually gave birth to such an outstanding son like Gu Zheng. But on second thought, it seems to make sense now that Gu Zheng's mother is Miss Lu Qingyun.

"Also, it's a pity that Gu Zheng was born into the Gu family. If he had been born in a family that treated him well and supported his career, it might have been a different story."

Qin An did have something to tell Qiao Xi because those things were too complicated. It was best not to let Little Six know that they involved the wealthy families in the capital.

Moreover, judging from the situation, Gu Zheng had not told Little Six. Since that was the case, he would not let it slip.

Qiao Xi sized up Qin An. She kept having the feeling that Third Brother was hiding something from her!

However, before she could ask, Qin An changed the topic. "Little Six, I recently obtained a clue. Five years ago, Kang Qingzhi's illness acted up. Kang Jichuan spent a lot of money to seek treatment. At that moment, someone went to see Kang Jichuan.

"I've already found out who this person is. It's He Weinian," Qin An continued. "Actually, I don't need to say anything. You should have already guessed it. You know that Kang Jichuan and He Weinian are in contact, but you can't be sure who was the first to know the secret of your blood. After my investigation, I'm sure that person is He Weinian."

Hearing He Weinian's name, Gu Zheng's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Qiao Xi nodded. "Cheng Juan also told me a little about He Weinian, but I don't understand how He Weinian found out about my relationship with the Kang family. How did he know that my mom was Kang Ru's fiancee? I remember that Old Madam Kang didn't acknowledge my mom's identity back then, so she kept her existence a secret from the public. No one in Y Nation knows who my mom is.

"Moreover, even the Yin family doesn't know about the matter between my mom and Kang Ru. How would He Weinian know? He even planned for many years? Moreover, what's the point of taking my blood to save Kang Qingzhi? He Weinian spent so much effort planning all of this. What benefits can he get?

"I know Kang Jichuan and Kang Ru. The father and son are weak by nature. Although they're not kind people, they couldn't have come up with such a plan. In the entire Kang family, Kang Qingzhi is probably the only one who's scheming."
