258: Chapter 258 He Must Die!

I Say So!!

Outside the emergency room.

The phone suddenly rang, and Tang Xiao immediately got up and went to a distant spot to answer it.

“The business license of this shop was registered using another person’s identity.

That person had lost their ID card and never came to Tianyuan!”

“The restaurant has no management order, no personnel files, and even the surveillance cameras inside the shop are just for show, not working properly.”

“After an investigation, the actual person controlling the shop is known as ‘Xu.'”

“She is very wealthy and occasionally drives a red Bentley Bentayga to visit the shop!”

“Such luxury cars are not common; we found out through vehicle registration information that this person’s name is Xu Juan, the younger sister of Xu Changshan!”

“However, Xu Changshan was transferred to Liuli City last night, and she went with him, so she was not present at the time of the incident.”

Tang Xiao’s eyes were stern, and she scoffed, “Not being at the scene doesn’t mean she couldn’t command over the phone!”

“There’s no evidence linking her to this case, and given the difficulties of enforcing the law in another jurisdiction, the challenge of summoning and detention…”

Tang Xiao immediately interrupted, “I know.

It won’t be difficult for you; continue with your major cases.

I’ll handle this one!”

No sooner had she put away her phone than Fang Qingya immediately came over.

“Seeing how furious you look, it seems that the mastermind behind this has been found!”

“Who else could it be besides Xu Changshan?”

While she was speaking, Tang Xiao’s phone rang again.

“We just received a report from an informant.

Xu Changshan has spread the word within the family—anyone who can kill Wu Jie will be rewarded with five million!”

“It’s estimated that your accidental venture into Xu Family territory tonight was just walking into the line of fire, giving them the perfect opportunity to attempt poisoning and murder!”

A death bounty!

Five million!

Tang Xiao sneered resolutely, “The bounty is quite high.

If this goes on, there will definitely be endless assassination attempts against Wu Jie!”

“So, you must be careful until the case is resolved!”

Tang Xiao hummed in response, hung up the phone, and said to Fang Qingya,

“This has nothing to do with you or me; the assassin is after Wu Jie!”

Fang Qingya said, “I know that.

On the night of the celebration, my dad said that before Mu En and Xu Feng clashed, Xu Changshan was already ranting about killing Wu Jie, and they nearly came to blows right there!”

Tang Xiao clenched her fists and knitted her brows, her gaze sharp and fierce.

“You should go now.

This is a grudge between our Tang and Xu families; you don’t need to get involved!”

Fang Qingya’s lips slightly parted, apparently wanting to persuade, but feeling the piercing murderous aura, she gave up.

Crackling~

Her fists clenched tightly, her knuckles audibly cracking.

At this moment, Tang Xiao truly harbored a killing intent.

Years ago, Xu Changshan had caused the death of her mother!

And now, he wanted to poison Wu Jie!

When tolerance reached its limit, there was no need for further endurance!

Tang Xiao strode into the emergency room.

After being tormented by various emergency treatments, Wu Jie lay dazed on the bed.

He had not had dinner, and then he was made to vomit and had his stomach pumped—it really felt like he had thrown up all his stomach acid and bile.

“Did the report come out?” Wu Jie asked.

“It contained highly toxic cyanide!

Xu Changshan has put a bounty of five million on your head, and this Western restaurant is controlled by his sister, Xu Juan.

We blundered into their trap!”

The conversation took a turn, and Tang Xiao curiously asked, “But how did you know there was poison in the wine?

Did you taste it with just one sip?”

Wu Jie laughed, “Yes!

Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, and I’ve tested poison too.

The moment I felt something was off in my mouth, I immediately spit it out!”

“Really?” Tang Xiao chuckled, “I didn’t expect you to have that skill!”

“Haven’t you already experienced my Acupuncture Skill?” Wu Jie winked and asked with a mischievous smile.

Acupuncture Skill…

At the thought of that feeling, Tang Xiao’s cheeks instantly heated up.

“That was your hooligan acupuncture skill, and you still dare to mention it!”

Wu Jie let out a sly chuckle, “As long as it works, and it’s really soothing!

Otherwise, Tang Xin wouldn’t be addicted to it!”

Tang Xiao rolled her eyes.

“Can you be serious for once?

At a time like this, you’re still all smiles and jokes!”

“Xu Changshan is offering a huge bounty on your head, are you not the least bit nervous or angry?”

Wu Jie shrugged and said:

“I’m not afraid of assassins, and I’m even less afraid of Xu Changshan!

If you hadn’t been soft-hearted back then, his grave would already be overgrown with grass!”

Overgrown with grass?

Tang Xiao snorted coldly, “Hadn’t it been for the blood letter our mother left as her will, not only would his grave be overgrown with grass, but it would also have trees several meters tall!”

“Uh…

can we stop with the nonsense?

Can I be discharged from the hospital now?

I wasn’t really poisoned!”

“Just wait!”

Tang Xiao immediately went to handle Wu Jie’s discharge procedures, only to find out that Fang Qingya had prepaid a hundred thousand in medical bills, with quite a bit left over.

The hospital wasn’t far from the restaurant, so Wu Jie took a cab back with Tang Xiao to retrieve the car.

However, Tang Xiao didn’t get into the car right away.

She walked around it, checking carefully, then took out a small mirror from her bag to inspect the underside of the car.

“Has my car been tampered with?

Like in the movies, it explodes as soon as I start it?”

“Better safe than sorry!

With a bounty of five million on your head, those who want to claim it will stop at nothing!”

Tang Xiao put away the mirror and got into the car.

“I just got this car, and it was just repaired today, how easy could it be to track?

It’s your apartment that might have been targeted already!”

Wu Jie sighed and started driving.

Halfway through the drive, Tang Long sent a video call.

“Xiao, what’s this rumor in the company about you having a miscarriage?”

“It’s just a rumor, so of course it’s fake!” Tang Xiao said irritably, “I just missed mom and cried for a while, but Xie Wanjun started spreading gossip.

I’ve already told her not to come to work tomorrow!”

“She deserves it!

Also, I just got a call, saying Xu Changshan is after Wu Jie and almost got you and Fang Qingya killed as well!”

“So this time he’s a dead man, even mom’s will can’t save him, I’m saying it!!”

Tang Xiao’s murderous intent was evident, her tone firm.

Wu Jie glanced sideways at the furiously angry Tang Xiao.

At that moment, the domineering aura of a powerful CEO was unmistakable.

Tang Long advised, “Isn’t Xu Changshan in Liuli City for treatment?

Mu En is desperately seeking revenge on Xu Feng, and Xu Changshan probably won’t escape either.

Just sit back and watch their fight, let’s see what a mess they’ll turn it into!”

“I know how to handle it.

Go get some rest, Jie and I are driving home!”

After ending the call, Tang Xiao turned to Wu Jie:

“His life is in your hands now!

You may deal with him however you want, but I don’t want him to live until next week!”

Wu Jie’s lips curved into a smile, “Alright then!

Hopefully, he can live until Friday, it would be a shame if he died before we even get to Liuli City!”

Upon arriving at the apartment’s underground garage, they didn’t notice anything unusual.

However, as they went upstairs, they found Xie Wanjun squatting at the door of their home.

Seeing Tang Xiao and Wu Jie, she rushed over in an emotional frenzy and knelt down with a thud.

“President Tang, I’m sorry, I apologize.

Please forgive me, I can’t lose this job!”

“My parents are farmers, they don’t make much money, and I have a younger brother whose education costs money, I can’t be without an income, President Tang!”

…

Now, Xie Wanjun was really sobbing uncontrollably, a pitiful sight to see.

Her hair puffed up, her makeup in disarray.

Her ordinarily exquisite and exceptional face and her graceful figure gave her the confidence to look down on others on regular days.

But at this moment, where was the pride and elegance of an urban white-collar beauty to be found?

“Once unfaithful, forever untrustworthy!

Don’t you understand even this simple principle?”

Tang Xiao huffed lightly and, pulling Wu Jie along, walked away without another glance.

Xie Wanjun wept softly, and seeing the two of them entering the house, she felt a sense of utter despair, regretting her actions to the point of wanting to bang her head against the wall.

Standing up dejectedly, Xie Wanjun staggered towards the elevator.

Out of the corner of her eye, however, she inadvertently spotted two shadowy figures darting out from the fire escape staircase.

The two men, armed and moving swiftly, suddenly burst forth…
