Chapter 1962: 1962. Gu Xia Extra Chapter (164)

The more he denied it, the more everyone thought he was hiding something, and that would be even worse for Miaomiao.

With that in mind, he sighed, put the file bag aside, and said:

"Yes, this poison was indeed made by me, but I have nothing to do with poisoning Xia Yumo."

Coldness deepened in Qi Xiao’s eyes, but he was not surprised that Qi Ming would deny it.

However, he knew deep down that Qi Ming must know where the poison went.

He sat on the sofa, silently watching Qi Ming’s evasive gaze, the cold light in his eyes slowly gathering.

The more silent he was, the more uneasy people felt.

Unable to stand Qi Xiao’s gaze any longer, Qi Ming took the initiative to speak, "Big brother, I’m not lying to you. I didn’t poison Xia Yumo."

As if afraid that Qi Xiao wouldn’t believe him, he added, "If you don’t believe me, you can send someone to investigate."

Qi Xiao looked at him with a confident expression and coldly hooked the corner of his lips.

"Since the poison came from your hands, why did you deny it when I asked you back then?"

His ice-cold black eyes reflected a chilling light, "If you have a clear conscience, what is there to deny?"

"I...."

Qi Ming was stumped by Qi Xiao’s questions, unable to answer. In front of him, three pairs of eyes stared at his face, making his complexion turn red.

Thinking back to the fear in Qi Miao’s eyes when she begged him and his big brother’s ruthless ways, Qi Ming could not bring himself to tell the truth.

Qi Xiao didn’t want to discuss with him why he had denied it back then. He went straight to the point and asked:

"Where’s the poison? Who did you give it to?"

"I... I threw it away."

Guilt intensified at the bottom of Qi Ming’s eyes.

Qi Xiao stared at him with a cold face and asked again:

"Where did you throw it?"

"I..."

Just as Qi Ming wanted to say something, Qi Xiao interrupted him,

"Qi Ming, I will only give you one chance. I will ask you once more, why did you make this poison, and who did you give it to after it was made?"

His eyes narrowed, emitting a chillingly dangerous aura as he continued to ask calmly:

"Do you know what you will face if I go to investigate?"

Qi Ming’s heart panicked. He knew that Qi Xiao wasn’t trying to scare him.

And he also knew how capable his brother was. As long as he investigated, the truth would definitely be revealed. It was only a matter of time.

If he were to be driven away by the Qi family, how would he protect Miaomiao in the future?

In his mind, he saw Qi Miao’s shy face and her unwilling and timid look when holding his hands. His gaze softened, and his determination to protect her grew.

He looked at Qi Ming and asked with a resolute gaze:

"If I tell you, will you promise not to take it out on anyone else?"

He thought that Qi Xiao would agree right away, but instead he just looked at him coldly and said:

"You think I can’t find out if you don’t tell me? I’m asking you now only to give you a chance to come clean. If you don’t want it, you can tell me directly and not waste my time."

With that said, he got up from the sofa, and the cold light in his eyes made Qi Ming’s heart tremble.

The next second, Qi Xiao came up to him, lowered his voice, but loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear:

"You think I don’t know you gave it to Qi Miao?"

As Qi Xiao said this, his gaze stayed on Qi Ming’s face. Naturally, he didn’t miss the panic and guilt that flashed in Qi Ming’s eyes when he mentioned Qi Miao.
