Ji Tian bit her lip. She had to divert Gu Zheng's attention and find a chance to get rid of the unconscious old man.
She thought for a moment, took out her phone, and made a call.
"Miss Ji, what's the matter?" A young man's voice sounded.
Ji Tian went straight to the point. "Please ask the head of the Brook family if he wants Gu Zheng to return to the Brook family."
After a while, an old man's dignified voice came from the other end of the phone. "Miss Ji, what are your ideas?"
Ji Tian's eyes were filled with viciousness. "Old Master, you should know very well that the reason Gu Zheng is unwilling to return to the Brook family is that he can't let go of someone. Everyone in Li City knows how much he dotes on Qiao Xi. If Qiao Xi is by his side, it'll be very difficult for him to return to the Brook family."
"Miss Ji, what do you think we should do?"
Ji Tian smiled sinisterly. "If you want to have the perfect heir, you should be more heartless. Old Master, you know what to do."
Old Master Brook smiled and hung up.
The next day.
An explosive piece of news swept the internet.
[Ji Tian and Gu Zheng went to the hospital together. The couple is suspected to be pregnant.]
Below the headline was a photo of the two of them entering the hospital. After a while, Ji Tian's manager posted a message. [Tian Tian won't give up on her work for the time being, but the intensity of her work will decrease. I hope everyone can understand.]
These words were ambiguous, making one's imagination run wild. Ji Tian's manager posted such a message, and Gu Zheng did not stop it. That meant that he had already tacitly agreed.
After a while, the netizens dug up Gu Zheng and Ji Tian's past. Rumor had it that the two of them had once been in a relationship. However, when Ji Tian went overseas and the two of them were in a long-distance relationship, someone took advantage of the situation and ruined their relationship. In the end, they broke up.
[In that case, Ji Tian is Gu Zheng's first love. Now that his former lover is back, he's going to divorce Mrs. Gu!]
[Ji Tian is already pregnant. If she doesn't get a divorce, the child she gives birth to will be an illegitimate child!]
[So the person who took advantage of the situation back then to ruin their relationship was Qiao Xi. She spent so much effort to separate them, but Gu Zheng is going to divorce her now. How laughable!]
Qiao Xi looked at the overwhelming news online, and her expression was terrifyingly gloomy. So many days had passed, but there was still no news of Gu Zheng. He let the rumors cause an uproar and did not respond.
She took a deep breath and forced herself not to let her imagination run wild. She lowered her head to look at the time. It was about time to look for Xia Jingan. She put on a warm jacket and drove out.
Not long after she drove out, large drops of rain fell. Coupled with the dark sky, Qiao Xi drove very slowly.
At this moment, on the other side of the bridge, a man said in a low voice, "A car is here. It must be her!"
"That's right! There's only Longwan Residential nearby. Gu Zheng isn't at home, and there's only the butler and servants in the villa. Even if this woman goes missing, they won't discover it in a short period of time."
"But didn't Miss He say that she wants to kill her?"
The man laughed out loud. "The head of the Brook family gave us a higher price to bring her to the capital. Of course, we'll follow the orders of those who give a higher price."
Soon, Qiao Xi realized that there was a car behind her. Longwan Residential was Gu Zheng's territory, so ordinary people would not come here. Moreover, it was nighttime. When she reacted, the car behind her suddenly accelerated and crashed into her.
Qiao Xi stepped on the accelerator, her heart thumping violently. Below this road was a bottomless cliff. Once she was knocked down, it was practically impossible for her to survive.
The car chased after her and slammed into Qiao Xi's car. As the road was slippery on a rainy day, the car swayed violently in the middle of the road.
Qiao Xi knew that someone wanted to kill her. If she continued to hide in the car, she would only die if the car was destroyed.
She opened the car door. When the car slid to the edge, she quickly jumped out of the car. With the cover of the night, she climbed over the guardrail and grabbed a rock on the side with both hands. She tested the height and jumped into the grass to offset the huge impact.
The two of them would soon realize that there was no one in the car. She had to leave as soon as possible before the other party noticed. Unfortunately, she had sprained her ankle and her back was scratched, so her movements slowed down. However, she did not dare to stop and could only endure the pain as she walked.
"F*ck! That woman ran away! She jumped down from here. She won't fall to her death from such a high height, right?"
"Call someone over now. We'll guard the place from above. As long as she dares to come up, we'll tie her up. If she doesn't come up, the rain will be heavy and the water will rise. Only death will await her!"
