Chapter 1602 Not A Warning But A Notice



Qiao Xi had always felt that the Brook family was related to Gu Zheng in some way. Madam Tan was filled with hostility toward Gu Zheng, and the way Huo Yuzhou looked at Gu Zheng was also very strange.

Gu Zheng crippled Tan Yu's arm in Y Nation and did not hide his actions. He was not worried about angering the Brook family at all. This did not seem like Gu Zheng's style!

Unless… Gu Zheng already had a grudge against the Brook family, so he did not care about adding more grudges.

However, Gu Zheng had grown up in Li City, and the Brook family had never stepped into Li City. Qiao Xi had never understood what grudges they had.

Gu Yao's voice trembled. "Gu… Gu Zheng! They're still following us. What should we do?!"

Were they going to die here today?!

Gu Yao was extremely panicked, but he heard Gu Zheng say casually, "Concentrate on driving. In another ten minutes, they won't be following us anymore."

"Why?" Gu Yao looked puzzled. Qiao Xi also turned around to look at the car that had been keeping a distance from them. She was instantly enlightened. "This is just a warning!"

She should have sensed it a long time ago. When they drove fast, the other party drove fast too. When they drove slowly, the other party slowed down as well. Hence, they were not chasing after them. They were just following them.

"It's not a warning but a notice," Gu Zheng said slowly. "They're telling me that they're here in Li City."

Qiao Xi's breathing trembled.

Ten minutes later, the car disappeared from their sight.

"What grudge do you have against the Brook family?" Qiao Xi asked seriously.

Gu Zheng's expression remained the same as the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. "Xi Xi, you're so smart. You even guessed it."

"The people who can attack you on your territory must be powerful. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to attack rashly. Those people disregarded the consequences and warned you in Li City. The only family that can do that is probably the Brook family. But I don't understand. What grudge do you have against the Brook family?"

"That's right! We don't seem to have much to do with each other on the surface." Gu Zheng suddenly turned around and stared at her with a burning gaze. "Xi Xi, there are some things you shouldn't ask."

Qiao Xi frowned.

"I don't want you to be involved in this mess. If you don't know, you can stay out of it." Gu Zheng's voice was a little hoarse.

Gu Zheng did not want Qiao Xi to participate in these matters. He could handle his own matters. Moreover, the Brook family was different from the other families. To be able to stand tall in Y Nation for a hundred years and even affect the surrounding countries, the strength behind them could not be underestimated.

Qiao Xi looked at him with a determined gaze. "But I want to know."

The car suddenly fell silent. After a moment of silence, Gu Zheng slowly said, "The Brook family is close to the Kang family. I don't want to tell you because I'm afraid you'll be involved in a new conspiracy."

It was obvious that the Kang family wanted Xi Xi's blood. It was also possible that many people were coveting it.

"Xi Xi, cut off all ties with the Kang family from now on."

Qiao Xi said, "Of course."

…

At this moment, the Kang family was in chaos.

Kang Jichuan and Kang Qingzhi were arrested. Previously, Kang Qingzhi lied when she said in public that Qiao Xi was her friend. If they only got to know each other in Y Nation, why did Qiao Xi stay in the Kang family's villa for so long in the past?

The police had already obtained the relevant evidence and confirmed that this was a premeditated kidnapping. Kang Jichuan imprisoned Qiao Xi for a hundred days.

The Kang family was racking their brains to think of a way to escape punishment, but that was the truth. Kang Jichuan could not explain himself. Moreover, not only did Kang Qingzhi not win the championship, but she was also embroiled in a scandal. The investments in Kang Corporation's perfumes were all withdrawn. Kang Corporation even had to face huge compensation.

The Kang family's business was all supported by Kang Jichuan alone, but he was arrested. At this moment, Kang Corporation was in a mess and its employees were disorganized.

At this moment, Kang Jichuan was at the police station, dispirited. He could not say a word and could only quietly wait for the court hearing, hoping that things would turn around. Kang Qingzhi's eyes were red from crying as she sobbed softly.

However, no one would pity her in the police station. After all, she had kidnapped and imprisoned Qiao Xi. Her tears could not offset the sins she had committed. She choked and said, "Brother, Dad! It's all my fault. After I fell sick five years ago, those perfume recipes and perfumes appeared in my mind. When I saw that there were so many perfume recipes in my room, I thought that I was the one who created them. I didn't expect Sister Xi Xi to deliberately set me up."

Her eyes were red and swollen, and her tears had dried up. She could not help but sob. "I… I really didn't imprison Sister Xi Xi, much less force her to write perfume recipes for me!"
