Chapter 786
Georgie thought she should be able to do the same.
For her companions now, for the lovely people who had stood by her righteously but had fallen one by one.
She has to do it!
The night was cold, and her vision grew clearer as she gazed at the tongues of fire that danced more and more vigorously in the blazing flames.
It seemed in a flash that I saw the heroic woman again, dressed in a strong black outfit, standing in front of her, laughing wildly.
“Joe!What the hell is a man?Stay with us later, we’ll always be together!”
Those proud and gracious voices seemed to still ring in her ears, but an indescribable obscurity rose in Bella Qiao’s heart.
Forever?How far away is forever!
Something, as if a sharp knife had scraped across the most vulnerable part of the heart and pulled a long gash across it, draining the blood and leaving only empty numbness and desolation.
Bella Qiao closed her eyes, her shredded hair blowing in the wind and whipping her cheeks, a slight itch, and the sickening smell of burnt corpses from the fire hit her nose, but it was as if a giant hammer had struck down and shaken her spirit.
“Fire Phoenix.”
A soft call rose silently in her heart, with an unspoken loneliness and emptiness, and she watched the fire burn down to ashes and suddenly spoke in a low voice, “Goodbye.”
“Hey!What man?”
The iron door suddenly opened at that moment with a creak, and a middle-aged man in blue overalls walked in with a red face, as if he had been drinking and was a bit flimsy on his feet, but still saw her at once, pointed at her and stammered and shouted, “Who are you, who are you?”
As if a fishing net instantly closed all thoughts, Bella Qiao turned her head, glanced at the drunken man, a wickedly charming smile crossed her lips, and then nudged her hind feet, ran, leaped, scaled the wall, and left in a dashing, sharp leap.
The figure was like a ghost, so fast that one could only sense a shadow drifting past and disappear in an instant.
The middle-aged man was astonished, stood dumbfounded in place, half a sound, the bottle in his hands “pop” slipped to the ground, flying out of the yell: “Ah!There’s a ghost!Hell!”
The nocturnal bird was startled by this frightened cry, but the culprit who had caused it stopped in mid-run, took one last deep look back into the night at the place where the red light was faintly burning, then turned, and sped off in the other direction.
At this point, the castle.
Gu Siqian had been sitting in his study for a full two hours.
At dinner, the maid went to call him and was thrown out, saying he had no appetite and didn’t want to eat.
The face, however, was distinctly gloomy, and carried the signs that the stormy valley owed it.
The maids didn’t dare to disobey him and hurried down, because he was in a bad mood, everyone was even nervous, doing things carefully, afraid of making any noise to upset him and bring calamity to the pond.
The entire castle was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
And everyone in the castle, including Ober, had no idea what was going on.
Yusra Lin came over after dinner and learned that Gu Siqian was in a bad mood and hadn’t eaten, so she deliberately brought over a bowl of soup she had made herself.
Having learned her lesson from earlier, she knew that Kusken, while still keeping himself, didn’t much like her getting too close or arranging his food on her own.
So, this time, she just stopped downstairs and asked Ober to run it for her and relay her message on her behalf that she wanted to see him.
Ober went, expecting that Kusken would not see him, but he nodded.
Soon after, Yusra Lin was in the living room on the main floor and saw the man coming down from upstairs.
“Siken!”
Her face instantly gathered a soft and sweet smile, and she walked over to her, saying, “I heard you’ve been locked in your room since you got back, and you haven’t eaten dinner.Is there something wrong with your body?”
Gu Si Qian gave her a cold glance, with no expression on his face.
“Something?”
Seeing that he didn’t answer his question, Yusra Lin was quite accosted and couldn’t hang her face in front of the servants.
But she also knew that Gu Siqian was such a nature, and if she wanted to stay by his side, she would just have to come out with more patience and perseverance.
So, she raised a smile and stepped forward, “It’s nothing, just that this afternoon I had nothing to do at home, so I made the soup myself, I tasted a bit of it at dinner, and I felt it tasted pretty good, so I heard that you didn’t have an appetite, so I brought it over for you to try.”
After a pause, fearing he’d get angry again, he even added, “It’s okay if you don’t drink, it’s not a rare thing around here or there, I just care about you.”
Gu Siqian looked at her with a seeming smile, stepping down with an easy and leisurely step.
As I tidied up my cuffs, I said, “Wouldn’t it be too unkind if I didn’t drink it, since it’s a piece of your concern?”
Yusra Lin’s eyes lit up at the news.
There were a few hidden expectations, but they didn’t dare to show them too much due to the failure of recent good offerings.
If you don’t want to drink it, but you can’t bear to break my heart and force me to drink it, then it seems like I’ve become a burden to you.”
That is certainly beautifully said.
Even Gu Si Qian, after hearing this, couldn’t help but squint his eyes slightly and take a serious look at her.
I have to say that as one afternoon passed, it was as if the woman in front of me had suddenly become a different person.
In both dress and mannerisms, he is a different person than he is today on the golf course.
He quirked an eyebrow, a little surprised and a little amused.
Has this been to consult some brilliant person and come up with some other plan?
But no matter what the scheme was, it was clear that Kuskan had no interest in her at all.
Therefore, only a cold voice said, “In that case, take it back!I’m not interested.”
Afterwards, passing her, he was going to walk out.
Although she had already guessed that this would be the outcome, but to actually hear him say it himself, it would be a lie for Yusra Lin’s heart to say that it wasn’t hurt at all.
Obviously, during the day today, he was willing to turn against his ex-girlfriend for her sake, so why is he suddenly becoming so unsympathetic again now?
She knew, however, that this was not the time to ask more questions.
So I barely smiled, and followed up, saying, “Okay, I’ll serve it right away, are you going out now?”
Gu Si Qian’s footsteps paced.
Turning back, he looked at her with cold eyes.
“In what capacity does Miss Lin now hold herself?”
Yusra Lin was stunned.
Standing there, his head was a little muddled at his cold, distant gaze.
Chapter 787
What status?
What kind of status could she be, living here, a woman who had only stayed after begging to stay, and had never really been favored by him?
Guests?His woman?Still….
She blanched at the thought of something.
But Gu Si Qian laughed lowly.
The laughter was very cold, mixed with some emotions that Yusra Lin couldn’t understand or read, but subconsciously felt that it wasn’t a good thing.
She heard him whisper, “Don’t get too cocky, you’re only here because of a ray of mercy from me, do what you have to do and stop unknowingly claiming to be my woman, you haven’t earned that yet, eh?”
Yusra Lin’s face went completely white.
Gu Si Qian didn’t bother to pay attention to her anymore, his feet stepped out of the door and walked away.
It was after nine o’clock by the time Kitty Qiao returned to the castle in a hurry.
She hadn’t eaten in the evening, and she was famished and hungry, and when she came in, she asked Ober for food.
When Uncle Ober saw her return, he was stunned and surprised. While ordering the maids to prepare supper, he turned back and asked her, “Why are you alone?Where’s the young master?”
Bella Qiao was also stunned.
She looked up and saw Ober’s eyes filled with uncertainty, her detailed brow knitted.
“Kusken?I wasn’t with him.”
Ober paled.
“But he went looking for you.”
As soon as that was said, Bella Qiao’s face changed as well.
Ober slapped his thigh in a rush and said, “He went out more than half an hour ago, he called you several times and no one answered, he didn’t even come down to eat at night, then suddenly said he had to prepare the car to go out, I thought you guys got in touch, alas!”
Bella Qiao finally reacted, withdrew his gaze and thought, “There’s no need to worry, he’ll come back naturally if he doesn’t find it after a search.”
Ober lagged.
The lips moved to say something, but the big-hearted and cold-hearted Bella Qiao in front of him didn’t say anything in the end.
Finally, with just a sigh, I said, “I’ll go call him.”
As soon as the food was served, Gu Si Qian returned.
It was but ten minutes or so before the man entered the house, and his face was as dark as a cloud, but any one who saw it could perceive that his mood had deteriorated to the utmost.
Naturally, Bella Qiao noticed it too.
I don’t know why, it was clearly unnecessary, but seeing him go out to find himself and come back with that gloomy face without any success, I felt a little guilty somehow.
She withdrew her gaze and said, a little under her breath, “Back?I heard you haven’t eaten, want to join us for some?”
Gu Si Qian stared at her coldly.
The jacket was removed to reveal a muscular body with a black shirt inside.
He handed his coat to the maid and sat down across from her.
The atmosphere is rattled.
“Where did you go today?”
He asked, his voice heavy and cold.
Bella Qiao picked at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks, her eyes dodging, “Didn’t go anywhere.”
“Where’s the one place you didn’t go?”
The tone had taken on some heavy anger.
Bella Qiao was in awe, thinking that the two of them would have to work together for a long time to come after all, and although she had a grudge against him, she would have to use his power to find out who really caused the destruction of the Vermilion Bird Society in the first place, the person who had really sowed discord between the two organizations and set her up, she would never let go.
And it was too hard to do it all on her own, so it had to be with him.
Here, she looked up at him, pursed her lips, put down her chopsticks in the end as well, and said seriously, “I’m going to take care of a little business.”
“What is it?”
“A private matter.”
She had no intention of explaining too much, but Gu Si Qian’s pupils, however, shrank slightly.
Bella Qiao seriously explained, “Gu Si Qian, I have the right to do what I do, we’re working together now, I’m not your prisoner.”
The man came out with a steep snicker.
It was as if all the anger in my body had been let out at that moment like a balloon burst by a needle, yet the atmosphere did not relax, but fell into an even colder and harder stalemate.
It took half a moment before he was heard to say, “Rights?Georgie, you talk to me about rights?”
He took a step forward, the powerful aura emanating from his body straight to his face, and Bella Qiao frowned slightly, in the end, he was still hardened, not taking a half step back, slightly craning his neck to look at him calmly.
In the next second, the jaws clamped down sharply.
Kuskan lifted her face, forcing her to look up at himself and said quietly, “Don’t you know?Since you stepped foot in this castle, your power has been in my hands?You really think you can negotiate with me and be on equal footing?Who gave you that much confidence and courage?”
One word words stuck to Bella Qiao’s heart like steel needles.
She looked at him and smiled offhandedly.
The sharp pain in her jaw caused her fingertips to curl up slightly and clench into a fist.
But she wasn’t as furious as he had expected.
Instead, it was calm, so calm that it was like he hadn’t even heard his cold words or cared about his rude tone.
She said calmly, “Let go!”
Gu Si Qian eyebrows looked at her coldly and didn’t move.
Georgie said it again, “I said, let go.”
This time, seeming to hear the coldness in her flat tone, Gu Si Qian’s eyebrows and eyes loosened, finally releasing his hand.
Georgie stepped back, raised her hand, and touched her chin.
She stared at him with cold eyes and eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: “Gu Siqian, I have always thought that a fair cooperation is based on the voluntary and equal status of both parties, but now it seems that your philosophy and mine do not match, since that is the case, I will not force, from today onwards, we bridge the bridge to the road to the road, you go your Yang Guan Road and I cross my wooden bridge, no longer related to each other.”
She said, turned calmly, and left.
The whole living room was quiet.
Not only was Gu Siqian, but even Ober who was beside him was stunned.
In any case, I didn’t expect Bella Qiao to be so determined.
After about a few seconds, Gu Siqian finally reacted, stepped forward, and took her hand in his.
“Stop.”
“Let go!”
The woman turned around and threw his hand away, and Gu Siqian was so cold and unprepared that he was actually thrown back two steps by her.
With a cold voice, he said, “Bella Qiao, come here!I was a little heavy-handed with what I just said, so we’ll talk again.”
Bella Qiao snickered.
There was such a sad feeling rising in my heart that I couldn’t tell where it was coming from or why.
Just suddenly feeling tired, as if all the things that she had been holding back for the past few days of stalking and being together were suddenly magnified and exploding out.
She shook her head and said, “I’m not coming over here, Kuskan, let’s terminate the partnership.”
Chapter 788
Like a stone, thrown violently into the lake.
Gu Siqian’s heart was shaken hard, and he couldn’t tell why, but he suddenly became a little panicked.
He was sunken, still in that gloomy, unruffled way, but his eyes were a little deeper.
“Georgie, I said, come here and we’ll renegotiate.”
“There’s nothing to discuss.”
Bella Qiao’s voice was somewhat cold and penetrated with an obvious tiredness, “Gu Si Qian, you lost my ball today, didn’t you agree to promise to do a job for the other side?”
The man did not speak.
She continued, “Then let’s call this matter off, dissolve the cooperation, from now on, there’s no need to meet again, meeting again is either life or death, as I said, those brothers and sisters of the Vermilion Bird Society, I won’t let them die in vain.”
She said, then ignored him again and turned to walk out.
A man yelled from behind him, “Stop her!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, several brawny men jumped out from the shadows and blocked Bella Qiao’s way.
Bella Qiao’s face went completely cold.
Turning back, he looked at Gu Si Qian and said in a cold voice, “Do you seriously want me to do it?”
Gu Siqian knew that the woman of today was long gone from the one of four years ago, the four years of prison life had polished her to be more resolute, both the means and the kung fu was also more superb and exquisite.
But that’s not a reason she can leave.
She might be able to beat him physically, but there were so many of them here, could she beat them all?
Even if she could put all of the people here down, how many people were there inside and outside this castle, did she really knock them all down and rush out?
So, he wasn’t worried about her leaving.
It was just that there was still a hidden feeling of not being able to let go of her, and I couldn’t tell why, but it always felt as if I would really lose her completely if she really left today.
He strode over to her, grabbed her hand and said quietly, “You come with me.”
Finished, already winded, pulling the man upstairs.
Georgie unexpectedly didn’t resist.
For one thing, she also knew that in her current situation, if Gu Si Qian was really determined to leave her behind by force, she couldn’t possibly walk away.
Erye, deep down in her heart, was probably secretly looking forward to seeing what else he wanted to say to her.
And what’s there to say?
All the way to the study, Bella Qiao only felt her wristbone being squeezed by him, but she didn’t say anything and let him hold it until she reached the study.
After entering the house, Gus Gan sank to his knees and walked straight behind the desk.
Seeing her standing there, she looked up at her, her face, though still somber, was no longer as cold as it had been.
“Come here!”
He shouted.
Kitty didn’t say anything and walked over to him and saw him under the desk, taking a file out.
“Read this, then make your decision.”
He said, tossing the papers directly at her.
A little confused, Georgie picked it up and flipped it over.
Flip to the back and the face changes dramatically.
She slammed the papers together, looked at him incredulously, and asked, “How did this happen?”
Gu Si Qian had completely calmed down by now.
He thought to himself that he should let her know, after all.
Although, once upon a time, there had been a reluctance to let her witness such a brutal truth, even though she hated her betrayal, there was still a hidden voice in his heart, telling him that maybe she really hadn’t done what she had done back then.
Those confidential information were leaked not only from the Vermilion Bird Society, but also from the Dragon Corps.
It doesn’t do Georgie any good to be in the middle of a sandwich between two organizations and have both sides fighting to the death.
It was just that at the time, all the evidence pointed to her and he had to react a little, otherwise there was no way he could answer to his men.
Here, he exhaled a heavy breath and said in a deep voice, “You’ll continue to read the back and see the last page.”
Bella Qiao really did as she said and looked back.
The further I went, the more alarmed I felt.
Only this is a list of the people who came and went within the Vermilion Bird Society and Dragon Corps back then, and the earliest Vermilion Bird Society and Dragon Corps, were not in opposition to each other.
Not only that, but the two organizations are rather fishy and supportive of each other.
If not, Bella Qiao, who had left the dragon group in a fit of pique back then, wouldn’t have been able to turn around and join the Vermilion Bird Society.
So, at that time, there was actually a lot of you and me within the two organizations, and the members weren’t too sheltered from each other.
But that’s what made both sides negligent.
In this document, it was very detailed with the details and whereabouts of the people who survived that war in the first place.
If you look closely, you’ll see that a significant number of people, left the area, changed their names, and went to an organization called the Chinese Society.
They were, in plain sight, all dead because of that war, including her so-called brothers and sisters.
Now, however, all of these people are alive and well under a different identity and name.
They didn’t really die, they died, just the part they had with her.
Bella Qiao couldn’t believe it, just felt like someone had chopped an axe in her head, hitting her buzzing and blank.
She shifted, her face already pale, and took a step back.
It was hard to hold the table steady before he muttered, “No way, how could that be?They, they…”
Gu Si Qian looked at her calmly and said, “Do you still remember what tore us apart, both of us, in the beginning?”
Bella Qiao was silent for a moment and softly spat out four words, “Heavenly Book of Jade.”
“Yes, it’s the Heavenly Book of Jade.”
Five years ago, a document with a history of 2,000 years was suddenly released from the sky, and it was said that it contained a rare treasure that could bring back the dead and immortalize people.
Honestly, Georgie found the rumor ridiculous when she first saw it.
But then, something happened that shattered her thoughts.
Because she had seen with her own eyes that a person who had suffered a gunshot wound to the head, under the treatment of a piece of heavenly jade tablet, the wound healed up quickly with the naked eye.
She’ll never forget the shock she felt at the time.
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that there was such a bizarre thing in this world.
Flesh and blood, with just a small piece of jade, is able to heal wounds on its own, bringing back the dead to life?
How is that possible?
However, whether she believed it or not, there were quite a few people who witnessed the miracle at the time.
Everyone was red-eyed, and after realizing how valuable that treasure was, they all thought about snatching it up.
However, the only piece of unearthed celestial jade has been used up.
