Chapter 147: Chapter 147 What on earth happened today?
If soone were infatuated with Qin Yize, they wouldn’t have poisoned him to death as well.
Just who exactly is Zhao Ying?
At this thought, Gu Qiaoqiao felt a chill all over. This person was simply too cruel and terrifying, a devil incarnate.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s hands clenched tightly together.
There were also Choo Lan and Zhu Xiaohong.
Yet, they ca with him.
Could they be accomplices?
Gu Qiaoqiao thought about her past life.
In her previous life, after Choo Lan’s fruitless pursuit of Qin Yize for two years, her grandfather learned the truth and, as the once influential family head, personally ca to Border City, furiously took her away.
Zhu Xiaohong was also dismissed and sent back to her hotown not long after.
It seed that their relationship wasn’t significant…
Ti always flies when lost in thought, and in the blink of an eye, it was already ten o’clock at night.
These people weren’t drunk either, after all, there were still so many tasks and urgent problems to be solved.
The base’s regulations were also very strict, so even if they could relax in so aspects, their self-discipline was excellent.
So, all these people left the Qin Family quite normally.
Luh Fei didn’t go, but instead stayed and helped Gu Qiaoqiao clean up the leftover food and pots and pans before he left.
And by this ti, Qin Yize had also tidied up the living room.
He was lazily leaning on the chair, holding a teacup in his hand, his slender fingers that seed as smooth as jade were tapping so rhythm on the cup.
His starry eyes were slightly narrowed, concealing the almost overflowing starlight.
Standing at the door, Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart skipped a beat.
Under the bright lights, Qin Yize appeared even more exquisite.
There was a faint blush on his cheeks and the corners of his eyes.
His gaze was sowhat misty.
This appearance of him carried a bewitching power.
He was indeed incredibly charming.
And at this mont, the once boisterous house had beco exceptionally quiet.
Gu Qiaoqiao stood against the wall, biting her red lips.
She was thinking about how to articulate this matter to Qin Yize.
Then to uncover the mastermind behind the scenes.
Yet in her heart, there lingered a sliver of hope, maybe her senses were wrong.
After contemplating for a mont, just as Gu Qiaoqiao was about to speak, Qin Yize seed to sigh softly, then he stretched his long legs, put down the teacup, and stood up from his chair.
He quickly walked up to Gu Qiaoqiao’s side.
His gaze dropped to her left hand.
The redness and swelling seed to be gone, everything looked normal again.
Was the ointnt really that miraculous?
Or was her burn not that severe?
Qin Yize slightly lowered his head, looking at the Young Girl in front of him who seed to have sothing to say, and spoke softly, “What exactly happened today?”
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t respond imdiately.
So she looked up at Qin Yize.
Her wet and clear eyes were full of questions.
Such a gaze was like a thin fog had settled over it.
Her lips shone with a glossy sheen under the light.
Qin Yize’s heart tightened.
Even in that mont, he forgot the question he wanted to ask Gu Qiaoqiao…
This feeling was sowhat inexplicable.
It made Qin Yize’s brows furrow slightly.
His complexion also faded a bit.
Gu Qiaoqiao tentatively asked, “Are you talking about the at and potatoes I dropped on the floor?”
Qin Yize gently nodded his head.
He felt his hand itch again, wanting to reach out and tap her smooth forehead once more.
Or perhaps pat her head again.
But today is not the day.
Because he still hasn’t confird whether today’s Gu Qiaoqiao did what happened in the kitchen on purpose or by accident?
Gu Qiaoqiao lightly bit her red lips, considering what kind of words to organize to tell Qin Yize about this unbelievable incident.
After all, if she were to tell him that there was poison in the food, Qin Yize would definitely ask her how she discovered it.
She couldn’t possibly tell Qin Yize that her hand was different from others.
Just like her rebirth, it was a secret that couldn’t be shared with anyone.
Except for Elder Luo.
“Hmm?” Qin Yize frowned, prompting her.
Showing so impatience, he did not like Gu Qiaoqiao being so hesitant.
Whether it was an accident or intentional, he hoped Gu Qiaoqiao would tell him the truth.
So at this mont, Qin Yize stared unwaveringly at Gu Qiaoqiao’s every small gesture.
To see if she would fabricate lies on the spot.
Then, he let out a slight sigh of relief.
Gu Qiaoqiao wanted to tell him the truth.
She just didn’t know how to say it.
What exactly happened that made Gu Qiaoqiao so conflicted?
Qin Yize spoke indifferently, “Tell the truth.”
Gu Qiaoqiao steeled her heart, looked up slightly at the intently focused Qin Yize, and asked earnestly, “Qin Yize, if I say that the at in that pot is poisoned, would you believe ?”
Qin Yize did not expect Gu Qiaoqiao to say such a thing.
He was taken aback.
This was sothing he had never considered.
He had speculated in his heart that the matter might be related to Choo Lan or Zhu Xiaohong.
But he had not considered that the at in the pot was poisoned.
At that mont, Qin Yize’s picturesque features instantly took on a trace of chilling austerity, and his aura involuntarily radiated.
The focus in his eyes now seed sowhat aggressive.
His tone was serious and sincere, “Gu Qiaoqiao, do you realize the consequences of what you’re saying?”
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded quickly, “I do.”
Qin Yize stared into Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes, word by word, he said, “Then can you tell how you knew there was poison in the at, or perhaps who administered it?”
Gu Qiaoqiao swallowed hard, feeling a soreness in her throat.
At this ti, she too was feeling nervous.
She didn’t know what to say that would most naturally avoid arousing Qin Yize’s suspicion.
And Qin Yize, when exerting his full aura, was quite intimidating.
“Qin Yize, the stewed at and potatoes in that pot were normal before Zhao Ying, Choo Lan, and Zhu Xiaohong entered,” she said.
“What do you an?” Qin Yize asked, frowning.
“What I an is that, after these three people entered the kitchen, the braised at and potatoes turned into a pot of poison, and the potency of the poison is very strong. You could take it quietly to your laboratory for testing, but I think the poison is enough to kill a person,” she said.
“How do you know?” Qin Yize’s eyes were inscrutable as he caressed his fingers, asking in a slow and asured tone.
Yet inside, his mind was a maelstrom. Who was so bold to dare put poison in the food?
Doesn’t he know the consequences of such actions?
Or is that the outco he desired?
Who is this person?
Is it Zhao Ying, Choo Lan, or Zhu Xiaohong?
In the blink of an eye, Qin Yize had several thoughts.
But his expression remained impassive.
It was not until he noticed Gu Qiaoqiao’s increasingly pale face that he realized he might have been questioning her as if she were a suspect.
And the least likely here were he and Gu Qiaoqiao.
Realizing this, Qin Yize’s expression gradually softened.
He said softly, “Don’t be afraid, I am here for you…”
With that, he no longer pressed Gu Qiaoqiao for answers.
