Chapter 397 - 397: Poison Gu (ingcheng

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Mei desperately wanted Gu Qingcheng to die here. If Gu Qingcheng died here, she and Qi Shaoze would be irrevocably bound together.

After all, they would become the murderers of Gu Qingcheng, and this would become her leverage to control him, ensuring he would obey her for the rest of his life.

However, her frustration intensified when the bodyguard reported that Gu Qingcheng was still alive.

Why wouldn’t that despicable Gu Qingcheng die? Why couldn’t she just die!

Ever since their childhood, Gu Mei had always been overshadowed by Gu Qingcheng.

Although seething with anger, she maintained a calm exterior and said, “Wait here, I’ll go and call a doctor.”

After saying this, she quickly turned and headed towards the door.

“I’ll go find the doctor,” Chu He said, grabbing Gu Mei. She lowered her voice, “Stay here with Master Qi.”

Gu Mei, with a malevolent plot in her eyes, said to Chu He, “I’ll find the doctor, mother, you stay here with Shaoze.”

When Chu He saw the look in Gu Mei’s eyes, she was momentarily stunned, then panicked.

She could tell Gu Mei was planning to kill Gu Qingcheng here.

No, this couldn’t happen!

If Huo Sicheng remained alive and Gu Qingcheng died first, Huo Sicheng would surely seek vengeance for his wife, and both mother and daughter would be in danger.

She couldn’t let Gu Mei, blinded by rage, act recklessly and kill Gu Qingcheng. Chu He hurriedly chased after her.

By the time she got outside, Gu Mei was nowhere to be seen. She remembered looking for Gu Mei everywhere.

“Mei, Mei, where are you?” Chu He called out for Gu Mei. “Mei, Mei?”

Gu Mei had kidnapped Gu Qingcheng without the intention of killing her. She chose a farmhouse with an underground doctor and bodyguards, planning to use Gu Qingcheng to join forces with Qi Shaoze to kill Huo Sicheng.

Otherwise, she would have killed Gu Qingcheng back at the hospital, instead of wasting time keeping her in a dark room.

“Do you have any poison?” she asked the underground doctor. “A kind that kills with one injection, fast-acting, no delays.”

The experienced doctor immediately knew Gu Mei wanted to kill Gu Qingcheng.

He, being familiar with the ways of the underworld, had all sorts of poisons and replied, “I have a poison that acts within three minutes, causing death by asphyxiation.”

“Fifty million,” Gu Mei said with a sinister look, full of murderous intent, “Go and kill the woman locked in the dark room.”

The doctor’s eyes gleamed with greed upon hearing Gu Mei’s offer.

“The woman you have locked up is Gu Qingcheng,” he hinted, “The most famous female principal from Diyi Art School on the internet. Your price of fifty million is too low for her.”

“You f***ing…” Gu Mei was about to curse the doctor for extorting her on the spot. Just like the last time she was swindled in the black market, today’s extortion infuriated her all over again.

But she abruptly stopped herself. She couldn’t let money ruin her plan at this crucial moment.

She wanted Gu Qingcheng dead, immediately!

Once Gu Qingcheng died, Qi Shaoze would be under her control, and with the Qi family backing her, she would have endless money. So, after weighing her options, the money extorted by the doctor seemed trivial.

“I’ll give one billion,” she said, glaring at the doctor, “but the poison you give me can’t kill Gu Qingcheng immediately. No, I mean it shouldn’t be obvious that she was poisoned, right?”

“You mean you want her death to be silent and untraceable, as if not caused by poison?” the doctor surmised.

“Smart,” Gu Mei acknowledged, her anger subsiding slightly upon realizing the doctor understood her intentions. “Do you have such a poison?”

The doctor opened his medical kit and took out a blue bottle from the bottom.

“This is it, but…”

As soon as Gu Mei heard the doctor’s hesitation, her anger flared up again, sensing that he still found one billion too little.

The doctor, noticing her expression, said, “As I mentioned, Gu Qingcheng is a widely recognized figure, especially in Jiangcheng. A billion is too little for her.”

“How much do you want then?” Gu Mei asked furiously.

“Not a dime,” Chu He interjected, “Mei, don’t be foolish!”

Just as the doctor was about to state his price, he was interrupted by Chu He. He silently put the poison back into his medical kit and left.

Chu He initially wanted to slap the doctor, but seeing that he had some sense, she refrained.

“Foolish? I’m not doing anything foolish,” Gu Mei said, her eyes filled with murderous intent. She hysterically addressed Chu He, “I want to kill Gu

Qingcheng, and you want her dead too, right, mother? We’ve been bullied by Gu Qingcheng for so long, today we don’t have to endure anymore. I want her dead, she must die!”

Chu He slapped Gu Mei hard, “You’re now blinded by jealousy because Qi

Shaoze is concerned about Gu Qingcheng. Wake up! If Gu Qingcheng dies, Huo Sicheng will seek revenge, and we will still die!”

The slap brought Gu Mei back to her senses.

That’s right, Huo Sicheng must die first, then Gu Qingcheng.

If Gu Qingcheng dies first, Huo Sicheng will undoubtedly investigate the truth. He would find out her hatred for Gu Qingcheng and would surely kill her.

“I thought you had finally become sensible by winning over Qi Shaoze,” Chu He scolded Gu Mei. “But you’re still easily provoked by Gu Qingcheng. How can you outwit her with such a mind?”

Gu Mei felt guilty and irritated listening to Chu He’s words.

She was annoyed that Gu Qingcheng wouldn’t just die and stop being a thorn in her side.

“Mom, I know I was wrong,” she admitted. “I’ll have the doctor treat Gu Qingcheng, so Qi Shaoze won’t suspect my intentions.”

“Wait a minute, it’s too soon for Qi Shaoze to suspect your thoughts,” Chu He said, stopping Gu Mei from leaving. “But I’m starting to think Gu Qingcheng might really be poisoned.”

Gu Mei was shocked, staring at Chu He, “Poisoned? I didn’t poison her. I just kept her here, I didn’t do anything to her.”

“It wasn’t you, it was me,” Chu He said, looking complicatedly at Gu Mei. “When I kidnapped Gu Qingcheng before, I took her indecent photos and poisoned her. It’s a slow-acting poison that even she couldn’t detect. Over time, the poison would permeate her body and cause her to die suddenly. I heard this poison takes a long time to activate, but I don’t know how long. Today, when she suddenly fainted, I thought about the poison I gave her. Could it be that the poison has activated?”

Gu Mei was stunned, not expecting her mother to have taken indecent photos of Gu Qingcheng.

“What did you say?” she asked in shock.. “You have Gu Qingcheng’s photos? Why didn’t you make them public? Why didn’t you expose them? Even when you had the chance to kidnap Gu Qingcheng, why didn’t you kill her then? Why didn’t you kill Gu Qingcheng?”
