Chapter 4: My ex-boyfriend's jacket should stay in the trash can.
Gu Zhen led Li Xi to the operating room for gastric lavage.
The doctor on duty recognized Gu Zhen and quickly stood up from his chair, asking in surprise, "Professor Gu, what brings you here today?"
"I have something to take care of. This is a friend of mine. She accidentally drank something unclean, so I'd like to ask Dr. Li to help her wash her stomach."
Upon observing Li Xi's condition, Dr. Li immediately guessed what kind of medication she had taken.
"Please come in quickly."
Gu Zhen waited outside while Li Xi was undergoing surgery.
The surgery was over quickly.
After the surgery, Li Xi was pale and weak all over. In the end, Gu Zhen had to carry her off the operating table.
Li Xi wasn't used to interacting with strange men, and just as she was about to ask Gu Zhen to put her down, Gu Zhen gently placed her on the chair first.
"Sit here and rest for a bit. I'll get you a glass of water." Gu Zhen asked Dr. Li for a disposable cup, poured a glass of warm water, handed it to Li Xi, and left, demonstrating excellent discretion.
Watching Gu Zhen's departing figure, Li Xi felt genuinely grateful to him.
Having just been reborn and already fought a tough battle, Li Xi now felt mentally exhausted as she was alone.
After slowly drinking a glass of warm water, my stomach felt much better.
At this moment, Xie Xingyun also came over.
He was now completely sober, and the ligature marks on his neck were clearly visible, even somewhat horrifying.
But he didn't care about the wound on his neck.
Noticing that Li Xi was only wearing a thin dress and her arms were covered in goosebumps from the cold, Xie Xingyun quickly took off his suit jacket and carefully draped it over Li Xi's shoulders.
"Don't get frostbite, you'll get hives if you get cold."
Having been in love for three years, Xie Xingyun understood Li Xi and remembered her little problem of getting rashes every time she got cold.
If Xie Xingyun had taken such good care of her before the breakup, Li Xi would have felt incredibly happy.
but now...
The thought that Xie Xingyun had almost forced himself on her, making her a notorious slut in Dongzhou City, was unbearable.
Li Xi thought he was dirty!
Li Xi removed the suit jacket, which still smelled of smoke, stood up while leaning against the wall, and threw it into the trash can.
Xie Xingyun's brow twitched upon seeing this, "Xi Xi..."
Still not satisfied, Li Xi kicked the trash can again.
It's not very strong, but it's extremely insulting.
Li Xi chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "It's my fault for being blind before, finding a boyfriend in a trash can. I'm a clean and innocent girl, I can't let trash taint me."
A dirty coat should stay in the trash can.
Xie Xingyun's heart skipped a beat, unable to believe that the woman in front of him, who spoke so rudely, was his gentle, understanding first love.
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
Fortunately, Officer Zhou arrived with the examination report at that moment.
Upon seeing Officer Zhou, Li Xi immediately stepped forward and asked, "Officer Zhou, are the results in?"
Xie Xingyun stood against the wall, watching this scene with some unease. He seemed to have expected the investigation report in Officer Zhou's hand.
Officer Zhou told Li Xi, "Li Xi, your blood test result is positive. But there are no toxins in Mr. Xie's blood."
In other words, Xie Xingyun was not drugged at all; he had only drunk a few glasses of wine.
But Xie Xingyun is a businessman, and drinking is a common occurrence for him. How could a few drinks possibly get him drunk?
Besides, a truly drunk person wouldn't have the energy to sleep with someone.
He just wanted to take advantage of his drunkenness to sleep with Li Xi!
In an instant, Li Xi's pretty face turned as cold as ice.
She turned around and walked up to Xie Xingyun. Without saying a word, she swung her right arm and slapped Xie Xingyun hard across the face!
"Xie Xingyun, you're despicable!"
Xie Xingyun's head was knocked to the side.
His hands, which had been hanging by his sides, clenched slightly, and he said in a choked voice, "Xixi, I'm sorry..."
The blood test results came back, and Xie Xingyun could no longer deceive himself.
He admitted that when he saw Li Xi in his suite, her skin flushed and clearly drugged, he was tempted. It was like a thirsty refugee seeing a delicious cake, unable to control himself.
At that moment, he desperately wanted to possess Li Xi.
It was Li Xi who was drugged, but he was the one who was poisoned.
Li Xi sneered, "Don't apologize to me. You are the Xie family's biological son, and I am just an adopted daughter. How can I be qualified to make you lower yourself and apologize?"
Hearing this, Xie Xingyun felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He said, "Xixi, you can hit me if you want, but don't say such things to humiliate yourself."
Even at this point, he was still pretending!
Li Xi slapped Xie Xingyun's medical report on his chest and said sarcastically, "Of all the Xie family members, Xie Xingyun is the best actor."
Turning to Officer Zhou, Li Xi said firmly, "Officer Zhou, I want to open a case and investigate it thoroughly!"
Now that she's crawled back from hell, she's determined to turn the Xie and Jiang families upside down!
Officer Zhou drove Li Xi to the police station.
As they approached the police station, Li Xi saw a well-dressed middle-aged couple standing around the corner.
It was her selfish adoptive parents.
Looking at Xie Mingzong's hypocritical face, Li Xi felt that even the air in the sky smelled bad.
She turned to Officer Zhou and asked, "Officer Zhou, do you have any chewing gum? I'd like to freshen the air."
Officer Zhou searched the car and actually found a piece of candy in the passenger seat. It wasn't chewing gum, just a regular mint hard candy.
Is this okay?
"improvise."
Officer Zhou handed the hard candy to Li Xi in the back row.
Li Xi unwrapped the candy, put it in her mouth, and was about to chew it and swallow it when she suddenly heard Officer Zhou say, "I didn't expect Professor Gu to like mints."
Upon hearing this, Li Xi silently loosened her teeth, pressed the tip of her tongue against the mint and circled it in her mouth, letting the cool sweetness fill her taste buds.
In my mind, Professor Gu's handsome face became increasingly clear and vivid.
"Is that Officer Zhou?" Xie's mother was the first to notice Officer Zhou's car.
Xie Mingzong quickly jogged over, his beer belly jiggling like a woman five months pregnant—it was almost unbearable to look at.
Officer Zhou pulled over to the side of the road, but didn't get out of the car; he just rolled down the window.
Xie Mingzong smiled obsequiously and began with flattering words: "Hello, Officer Zhou, my name is Xie Xingyun, and I am Li Xi's father."
“Li Xi is being silly and has caused you trouble. Officer Zhou is very busy with work, yet he still had to take time out of his schedule to accompany my daughter on this trip.”
"You've worked hard. Have a cigarette to relax." With that, Xie Mingzong quickly pulled out a sealed pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Officer Zhou.
Officer Zhou took the cigarette box and weighed it, finding that the weight didn't match.
This shouldn't be cigarettes, it's money.
Based on this size, if you stuff rolled-up money into it, you could fit tens of thousands of dollars.
Officer Zhou smiled enigmatically and remarked, "These are good cigarettes. Mr. Xie is truly generous."
But the next second, Officer Zhou stuffed the cigarette pack back into Xie Mingzong's arms and said in a serious tone, "But Professor Gu said that I haven't been looking well lately and that my liver qi is severely depleted. I've already quit smoking."
Xie Mingzong sneered, thinking to himself: Where did this quack professor come from spouting nonsense?
Xie Mingzong's smile remained unchanged as he added, "If you don't smoke, your colleagues who work hard on fieldwork with you can also have a smoke to relieve their fatigue, right?"
Officer Zhou said, "Serving the people is our job, and not taking a single needle or thread from the masses is an ironclad rule that we always keep in mind!"
"Mr. Xie, are you trying to harm me?"
When Xie Mingzong saw that Officer Zhou was unyielding, he knew that this was a tough nut to crack.
"Officer Zhou, you're absolutely right. It was my fault for not doing things properly." Xie Mingzong chuckled and quickly put the cigarette back into Zhang Xiang's Hermes bag.
Unable to win over Officer Zhou, Xie Mingzong had no choice but to shift his focus and try to appeal to Li Xi's emotions. "Officer Zhou, could I speak with Li Xi?"
Officer Zhou looked at Li Xi in the back row.
Seeing that Li Xi nodded, Officer Zhou then unlocked the car door.
As soon as Li Xi got out of the car, Officer Zhou took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and sat down in the car to smoke.
Xie Mingzong's eye twitched.
She just said she had quit smoking!
Xie Mingzong took a breath and suppressed his anger.
He pulled Li Xi onto the sidewalk and, like a dog trainer, commanded her: "Li Xi, withdraw the case. You've made enough of a scene, it's time to vent your anger."
