Chapter 106 Li Xi Unleashes His Power, Xie Mingzong Suffers
"stand up!"
Gu Zhen ordered Xie Mingzong to stand up.
Xie Mingzong was so dizzy and lightheaded that he couldn't stand up.
Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Gu Zhen disgustedly grabbed his shoulder and dragged him to Wells' side like a dead pig.
Wells and Xie Mingzong were tied together back to back.
Li Xi grabbed a wet wipe from the table and stuffed it into Wells' mouth, warning him, "You'd better stay squatting here!"
Li Xi walked up to Xie Mingzong, sat down in a dining chair, and handed a fruit knife to Gu Zhen: "Professor Gu, thank you for your trouble."
Xie Mingzong stared at the sharp fruit knife, struggling nervously, "Li Xi, what are you doing!"
"Professor Gu," Li Xi urged Gu Zhen.
Without even blinking, Gu Zhen swiftly plunged a knife between Xie Mingzong's legs.
"what!"
Xie Mingzong screamed in fright.
However, the Shanhai Palace was bustling with activity. The bodyguards guarding outside had been instructed by Xie Mingzong that they could not barge in unless he opened the door.
Fearing they might ruin Mr. Xie's plans, the bodyguards didn't dare to come in and check the situation.
The expected excruciating pain did not come. Xie Mingzong quietly opened his eyes a crack, looked down, and saw the fruit knife stuck in the wooden floor, only a millimeter away from his crotch. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
so close!
Xie Mingzong, still shaken, exhaled and angrily cursed Li Xi: "Li Xi! You won't get away with hurting me!"
"What are you afraid of?"
Li Xi smiled knowingly and told Xie Mingzong, "By now, the evidence of your seduction of the girl should have been sent to the police station."
"You'll be in jail soon, and even if I chop you up tonight, people will just applaud."
Xie Mingzong's expression changed drastically. "What nonsense are you spouting!"
He filmed some short videos, mainly to satisfy his perverted hobbies.
When he gets old, those videos will be his achievements from his youth, a treasure trove.
But those things were hidden in his love nest with his mistress, how could Li Xi possibly get them?
Xie Mingzong concluded that Li Xi was deceiving her.
But Li Xi softly uttered a girl's name: "Qin Yuqiu, do you remember her?"
"The 17-year-old girl who was hurt by you and committed suicide by jumping into the river in despair."
That was two years ago.
Upon hearing the name Qin Yuqiu, Xie Mingzong's chubby face twitched uncontrollably.
He's gone increasingly overboard with his womanizing over the years, but not every girl is as sensible as his current lover.
Qin Yuqiu was the most disobedient and unruly girl.
Xie Mingzong was shocked to learn that she had committed suicide by jumping into the river, but fortunately he had found Qin Yuqiu's suicide note in advance and hid it, so it was not discovered.
Xie Mingzong had almost forgotten about this person.
Hearing Qin Yuqiu's name from Li Xi's mouth for the first time, he couldn't help but feel horrified.
How did Li Xi find out about this information?
"How did you know?"
How did Li Xi find out?
On the very day Qin Yuqiu's body was recovered, her best friend came to the Xie family to confront Xie Mingzong.
That day was a Saturday, and Li Xi happened to be home on holiday.
She saw the girl before everyone else in the Xie family, and she also saw the knife in the girl's hand.
Considering Xie Mingzong's unusual behavior of not returning home all night for the past two days, Li Xi realized something was wrong and secretly went to see the girl.
The girl's name is Zhu Kexin, and she is only 16 years old.
Through Zhu Kexin's narration, Li Xi learned about Qin Yuqiu's experiences.
"You sponsored Qin Yuqiu's schooling as a benefactor. You sponsored a total of 8 children like her."
"Qin Yuqiu regarded you as a great philanthropist, but you took advantage of her kindness and cruelly violated her."
"Thank you, Mingzong."
Li Xi crossed her legs and leaned against the back of the chair.
She patted Xie Mingzong's face with the tip of her sneaker and asked him with a smile, "Have you ever wondered why your little lover is so obedient?"
Xie Mingzong suddenly realized something, and his eyes widened in surprise. "Xin Xin is your person?"
"She's not one of my people; she's just someone who wants to bring you to justice."
Over the years, Li Xi secretly used her comic book royalties to support Zhu Kexin, enabling her to enter the fashion industry and become a well-known young model.
This spring, Zhu Kexin successfully approached Xie Mingzong and gained his attention.
She pretended to be obedient and docile, coaxing Xie Mingzong into not even returning home, and successfully tricked him into handing over the pornographic films he had made.
Xie Mingzong treated those short films as an appetizer for flirting and stored them safely in the house where Xin Xin lived.
At that moment, Zhu Kexin, who should have gone to Sanya, was heading to the police station to file a case with the evidence.
This is also why Li Xi decided to keep the appointment tonight.
She needed to find out the truth about the truck driver and Li Chang'an's death before Xie Mingzong went to prison.
Upon learning that Xin Xin had been faking it all along and was actually an informant planted by Li Xi, Xie Mingzong knew he was completely finished.
"Li Xi, you are truly scheming and vicious."
Xie Mingzong said viciously, "I shouldn't have adopted you in the first place! I should have just watched you suffer in the orphanage."
“A pretty girl like you with no family to rely on would be quickly adopted by those perverts if you went to an orphanage.”
"You will become their subservient..."
Before Xie Mingzong could finish his filthy rant, Gu Zhen swiftly slashed his cheek with his right hand, leaving a cut on Xie Mingzong's lip.
"A mouth that can't speak is better cut off." Gu Zhen's expressionless words sent a chill down one's spine.
Blood gushed from the wound at the corner of Xie Mingzong's mouth, staining Li Xi's pink down jacket red.
Li Xi could clearly see the flesh and blood throbbing in Xie Mingzong's wound.
She looked at Gu Zhen, unable to hide her shock.
Only then did they notice that Gu Zhen was wearing an antique black ring on the middle finger of his right hand. The ring had a mechanism; when opened, it revealed a sharp knife, and when closed, it was just an ordinary ring with black lines.
Suddenly, Li Xi took off the ring from Gu Zhen's middle finger and put it on her right thumb without saying a word.
She wiped the blood off Gu Zhen's hand with a damp towel, and without looking up, instructed him, "If the police ask, don't say that you cut his face."
"If you ask, I did it."
“This old pervert used to spy on me while I was showering, and today he tricked me into coming here to do Wells a favor. No matter how I hurt him, I have a way out.”
"But you didn't."
Gu Zhen looked down at the girl carefully wiping away his blood, his heart melting completely.
"...good."
After wiping the blood off Gu Zhen, Li Xi looked at Xie Mingzong again.
Xie Mingzong had been cut, and now he was trembling all over from the pain, his willpower was almost gone.
"Thank you, Mingzong."
"The bodyguard next to Xie Jiaoyue, named Zhang Hequan, originally had six fingers on his left thumb, but he had it removed."
"That man, he's the one who killed my father with the truck, isn't he?"
Upon hearing the name Zhang Hequan, Xie Mingzong's confused mind froze for a moment, and a flash of panic quickly crossed his pained eyes.
Li Xi did not miss his micro-expressions.
"Zhang Hequan killed my father in a drunk driving accident, and he almost killed your two children as well. Such a person should never be Xie Jiaoyue's bodyguard!"
"Tell me, what exactly did you two do?"
"My father's death was not an accident at all, but a conspiracy you conspired with Zhang Hequan, wasn't it!"
Xie Mingzong, seemingly unfazed, moved his bloodied mouth and said with difficulty, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"I just picked up the bodyguard randomly."
"I had no idea he was the driver."
Would Li Xi believe his nonsense?
"You can't just hire any bodyguard."
"Don't I know? You all think that Xie Jiaoyue is the young mistress of the Gu family, and that you would protect her like the apple of your eye, and send any shady people to her side?"
"Xie Mingzong, what are you hiding from me?!"
Xie Mingzong gave the same answer: "I don't know anything."
"You do not know?"
Li Xi laughed in exasperation.
"Xie Mingzong, I know what you're hiding from me."
Xie Mingzong stared at Li Xi with suspicion.
Just as he was suspecting that Li Xi was bluffing her, he heard Li Xi say, "Actually, the person who saved Gu Huaizhou 12 years ago was not Xie Jiaoyue, but me."
"Right?"
Gu Zhen suddenly looked down at Li Xi, his gaze filled with undisguised shock.
Xie Mingzong also reacted with a look of horror.
Li Xi didn't notice Gu Zhen's unusual behavior. Her gaze was fixed on Xie Mingzong's guilty and uneasy glasses, and she stated bluntly, "All four members of your Xie family know about this."
"The reason Jiang Qingkong was pushed down and bled heavily that night was because she overheard Xie Xingyun and his sister's conversation."
"I am the one who truly saved Gu Huaizhou."
"Xie Jiaoyue took credit for my work and became Gu Huaizhou's savior. Your Xie family also owes its good fortune to the Gu family because of me!"
"Xie Mingzong, since my father passed away, my memory has become chaotic and I still can't remember what happened in those two years."
Li Xi knew exactly what kind of person she was.
She is definitely not the kind of fragile little wimp who would be devastated by her father's death.
Li Xi said thoughtfully, "You guys tampered with my brain, making me forget those two years, right?"
“You adopted me not because of the feng shui master’s advice, but because you want to keep the biggest secret under your noses so you can feel at ease.”
The more Li Xi spoke, the more terrified Xie Mingzong became.
At this point, Li Xi had the answer in his heart.
Following the clues provided by Jiang Qingkong, she unraveled the mystery and actually guessed the truth!
"That's great!"
Li Xi was both angry and resentful.
In her previous life, Xie Jiaoyue became a wildly popular female star across Asia by saving Gu Huaizhou. The Xie family's entertainment company also developed into one of the four major entertainment giants in the country.
And what about her?
She was falsely accused of being a notorious wicked woman in Dongzhou City.
She's lazy and gluttonous, promiscuous and shameless!
She did nothing wrong, yet she has to suffer so much harm for no reason!
Why!
Li Xi reached out her left hand and pulled out a fruit knife from the floor. Under Xie Mingzong's terrified gaze, she swiftly plunged the knife into Xie Mingzong's groin.
"what!"
This time, Xie Mingzong screamed in pain.
The pain was so intense that my eyes rolled back, and I almost fainted.
Li Xi pulled the knife out of her suit pants, and only when she saw that Xie Mingzong's crotch was soaked with blood did she smile.
"Xie Mingzong, an old scoundrel like you will only behave if you are castrated."
After saying that, Li Xi picked up the knife and walked around to Wells' front.
She gripped the fruit knife stained with Xie Mingzong's blood and slapped Wells's cheeks hard from both sides.
Wells knew what the blood on the fruit knife was.
He was both disgusted and afraid.
"You old bastard, you think you're worthy of sleeping with me?"
Li Xi lightly scraped the fabric of Wells's trousers with his sword, making Wells tremble with fear.
Wells was in tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
Li Xi pulled the wet wipe out of Wells' mouth.
Wells quickly begged for forgiveness in his native London accent, saying that he had done something stupid because he was drunk, that he was wrong, and that he would never do it again.
Li Xi listened expressionlessly.
She really wanted to cut Wells' specialty in half.
But Wells was a foreign friend with a distinguished status, and if she hurt Wells on her own soil, she would have no way out.
Li Xi suddenly looked up at Gu Zhen.
Gu Zhen stood quietly to her side, his eyes calm, tolerant, and firm.
Seeing Gu Zhen, Li Xi's murderous intent lessened somewhat.
She closed her eyes, suppressing her murderous intent, and when she opened them again, her gaze had returned to its usual calm.
“Duke of Wells, if you cooperate with me in identifying Xie Mingzong, I can spare you from telling the police about your collusion with him.”
"Then, get out of China before dawn! Otherwise..."
Li Xi pressed the knife tip forward forcefully.
Wells shrank back and nodded hastily, "I promise! I'll cooperate with you!"
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero."
After doing all this, Li Xi took out her phone and called the police, saying, "This is Li Xi, I want to call the police."
*
The police arrived at the scene quickly.
The person leading the team happened to be Officer Zhou.
Officer Zhou looked at Li Xi, then at the knife in Li Xi's hand, and then at Xie Mingzong, who had fainted from the pain.
Finally, he turned his gaze to Gu Zhen, "Mr. Gu, what exactly happened here?"
Gu Zhen blatantly lied: "Xie Mingzong lured my girlfriend here, intending to offer her to this Mr. Wells. When my girlfriend refused, Xie Mingzong tried to hurt her. My girlfriend was traumatized and, in self-defense, accidentally injured Xie Mingzong's face and... private parts."
Officer Zhou's mouth gaped wider and wider as he listened.
After a long pause, he asked Gu Zhen, "So you'll just stay here and watch?"
Gu Zhen smiled, then gripped his right hand with his left and pressed down hard, making a sound like his wrist was breaking.
Gu Zhen said, "My right hand is broken, and I am powerless to protect my girlfriend."
Officer Zhou: "..."
Li Xi also stared blankly at Gu Zhen's right wrist.
"Come on, all of you, follow me to the police station!"
This was a chaotic night.
It was almost dawn when Li Xi and Gu Zhen left the police station.
Officer Zhou escorted them to the door and said to Li Xi, "It's quite a coincidence. A few hours ago, a girl came to file a case alleging that Xie Mingzong was suspected of repeatedly raping girls and even driving the victim to commit suicide by jumping into the river."
"Those videos..."
Officer Zhou sighed and comforted Li Xi, "Don't worry, Miss Li, Xie Mingzong deserves his punishment and will be brought to justice."
"You must have been frightened tonight, go back and get some rest."
Li Xi asked Officer Zhou, "If I accidentally injured him while protecting myself tonight, will I be held legally responsible?"
Officer Zhou glanced at Gu Zhen and said, "With Attorney Jin Chouming on your side, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Li Xi smiled and said, "Then I'm relieved. Thank you for your hard work tonight, Officer Zhou."
"polite."
After Officer Zhou left, Li Xi stared at Gu Zhen's swollen wrist and asked with concern, "Doesn't it hurt? We need to get to the doctor right away..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Zhen casually twisted his wrist, and the fractured wrist was set.
Li Xi: "..."
Can you still play like this?
