Chapter 170 The person who killed Li Xi was him!
After Feng Qing washed up and rested, Gu Huaizhou left.
Li Xi sat in the courtyard downstairs, enjoying the cool air and eating mangosteens.
Hearing Gu Huaizhou's approaching footsteps, she naturally raised the peeled mangosteen in her hand.
"Want some mangosteen? This one looks very sweet."
"Eat." Gu Huaizhou bent over, opened his mouth, and waited for her to feed him.
Li Xi was happy to spoil him and fed the mangosteen directly to Gu Huaizhou's mouth.
Gu Huaizhou bit off the smallest segments of fruit, as these small pieces were the softest and had no seeds.
Conversely, the larger-looking flesh contains the seed.
When Li Xi eats mangosteen, she likes to play with the pit by pressing the tip of her tongue against it, so Gu Huaizhou deliberately left her a large piece of the fruit.
After spending a long time together, they became very familiar with each other's every hobby.
"Has Elder Feng gone to rest?"
"Ah."
“Then let’s go back too.” Li Xi got up and walked out of the courtyard side by side with Gu Huaizhou.
Standing outside the courtyard gate, Li Xi suddenly turned around and glanced at Feng Qingzhu's bedroom, then looked at Gu Huaizhou thoughtfully, "You look preoccupied, what are you thinking about? Does Old Master Feng not want to perform the surgery on you?"
Thinking that Gu Huaizhou was troubled by this matter, Li Xi frankly said, "Actually, I don't agree with you having brain surgery. It's risky, has serious aftereffects, and is too risky."
Gu Huaizhou shook his head. "Old Feng said that my condition is due to deep hypnosis, and even brain surgery would be of no use."
"The psychologist who hypnotized me was Carlos, an internationally renowned hypnotherapist."
"To regain my memories, I must break Carlos's hypnotic spell, but Carlos has been dead for many years..."
“This is a bit troublesome.” Li Xi was just about to reassure Gu Huaizhou and tell him to take it slow when she heard Gu Huaizhou say, “Carlos has a personal disciple who is also a master hypnotist. Guess who this person is?”
Ok?
A thought flashed through Li Xi's mind, and she blurted out, "Chen Feng?"
Gu Huaizhou couldn't help but smile. "Xi Xi is so clever."
"Is it true?"
“I verified with Mr. Feng that Chen Feng had attended Carlos’s funeral. Mr. Feng also said that Chen Feng liked to wear makeup.”
Li Xi astutely grasped the key point: "Carlos hypnotized you before. She died after the Gu family's incident, while Chen Feng was buried and died in a mudslide before the Gu family's incident."
"Now we can be absolutely certain that Chen Feng faked his death. Chen Feng's faked death was the first step in planning his revenge."
“And…” Li Xi crossed his arms and looked at Gu Huaizhou, tapping his fingers lightly on his arm as he pondered, “The children that Old Chen sponsored were almost all orphans who had lost both parents. This Chen Feng was born with unknown parents and was an abandoned baby.”
"I'm wondering, after faking his death, Chen Feng might not have gone into hiding under an assumed name. Is it possible that, through some twist of fate, he started a new life, living completely like a free man?"
Gu Huaizhou instantly understood what Li Xi meant: "You suspect that Chen Feng found his biological parents and, with their help, acquired a new name?"
Li Xi nodded, "These are all just my guesses and cannot be verified."
But intuition is the most mysterious of powers, and often it can guide people to find the answer to a puzzle.
Gu Huaizhou, however, felt that Li Xi's guess was quite plausible.
He murmured absentmindedly, "Do you think it's possible that Chen Feng has been hiding by my side all along, watching me grow up?"
This was a chilling guess, but Li Xi's eyes lit up. "It's very possible."
Looking down at the few brightly colored wildflowers blooming beside the asphalt road, Li Xi sneered, "That person is not a normal person. His values are definitely different from ours."
"Back then, when he buried you in the coffin and asked to play games, he was actually using you to torment your grandparents."
"As long as you are alive, your grandparents will have to hold on and deal with him. Once the seven-day period is up and you die, your grandparents will be completely plunged into despair."
“He’s playing psychological warfare. He may seem to have let your grandparents go, but in reality, he’s trying to psychologically slaughter the entire Gu family.”
“That’s right.” Gu Huaizhou agreed with Li Xi’s opinion. “But your appearance has disrupted his plan.”
Yes.
Li Xi suddenly closed her eyes.
She immersed herself in the perspective of the psychopathic killer, looking at everything that happened during those seven days from the killer's point of view.
"He's probably an extremely arrogant, highly intelligent criminal who sees himself as a righteous avenger. He sets the rules of the game and abides by them. So, when he sees that I've actually found you, his reaction might not necessarily be anger, it could also be..."
With a slight frown, Li Xi said, "Happy and joyful, like a lonely child who suddenly finds a doll that interests him."
What do we do when we have a doll we like?
Li Xi opened her beautiful eyes, stared coldly at Gu Huaizhou, and said, word by word, "He will definitely be secretly watching this doll's growth."
"If the doll becomes smart and beautiful, growing in the direction he expects, he will be overjoyed. But if the doll becomes stupid and cowardly, no longer as clever and adorable as it was in childhood, then he will throw the doll away..."
At this point, Li Xi suddenly grabbed Gu Huaizhou's arm and blurted out, "In my previous life, the person who caused my death in a chain-reaction car accident was him!"
"Because I disappointed him."
“I didn’t become a smart and interesting doll. Life wore me down. I was bullied by the Xie family and even almost contracted AIDS.”
“He felt that I had become a boring, ordinary doll, so he wanted to discard me himself.”
"The way the psychopathic killer discards the 'doll' is not by abandoning it, but by erasing it."
After saying that, Li Xi was drenched in sweat, and his calves were trembling.
Li Xi's shocking analysis just now also stirred up a storm in Gu Huaizhou's heart.
Seeing that Li Xi's reaction was not right, Gu Huaizhou opened his long arms and pulled her into his embrace.
With his chin resting on the top of Li Xi's head, Gu Huaizhou comforted her: "...These are just our guesses, they may not be the truth. Xi Xi, don't scare yourself."
Gu Huaizhou felt uneasy when he didn't hear a response from Li Xi.
He pushed Li Xi's head away from his arms, lifted her chin with his fingers, and forced her to look him in the eye.
Gu Huaizhou then noticed that Li Xi was clenching her teeth so tightly that she was almost biting her lip until it bled.
"Let go." Gu Huaizhou reached out and pried open Li Xi's teeth.
Li Xi was trembling all over, her back teeth were pressed tightly together, and Gu Huaizhou was unable to pry her lips open.
"Li Xi! Let go, you'll bite yourself like that."
When a person is extremely excited or nervous, their consciousness can easily lose control of their muscles. Li Xi tried hard to open her mouth, but she just couldn't.
Seeing this, Gu Huaizhou pulled Li Xi back into his arms again, patiently and gently patting her back, calling her name over and over again:
“Xi Xi”.
“Xi Xi…”
Gu Huaizhou's voice was like a spell, like divine music.
Like a tranquilizer injected into Li Xi's body, her excited and tense body finally relaxed.
After a long silence, Li Xi grabbed Gu Huaizhou's shirt and sighed, "Huaizhou, do you trust your intuition?"
"My intuition tells me that my guesses are correct. I even guessed the identity of the person hiding in my side."
"Who is it!" Gu Huaizhou asked impatiently.
Li Xi took a deep breath and said, "It's Fiya."
"...No, it's not Fia, it should be Orion."
"That online friend of yours?"
"Yes, it's him. He's been keeping me company as an online friend. He's clearly a man, but he pretends to be a woman. He's really suspicious."
"Huaizhou, once we've finished dealing with things in Nanyang, we'll head back to Dongzhou. I need to see Orion."
"it is good!"
At this moment, Lan Wei's car drove up from behind and stopped in the middle of the road.
Lan Wei got out of the car and told Li Xi, "Miss Xi, Huang Ying has woken up. Manager Luo wants you to go with Mr. Gu."
"it is good."
*
The oriole woke up.
However, her vision has not fully recovered, and she can only see the blurry shapes of objects within five meters.
Lin Nuo moved a chair over and placed it in front of Huang Ying.
He sat imposingly in his chair, reciting Huang Ying's background and the identity of her stepbrother, Zhou Yangzhi, fluently from memory.
The oriole listened calmly.
After Lin Nuo finished reading, she said calmly, "So, what are you going to do to me?"
Lin Nuo: "Our manager has a few questions for you, and we hope you will cooperate."
"In charge?" What kind of position is that?
Huang Ying cracked her knuckles and asked Lin Nuo, "What exactly is the identity of Test Subject No. 1?"
Lin Nuo looked at Luo Wen.
Luo Wen waved to Lin Nuo, "I'll do it."
Lin Nuo then retreated to the corner of the wall.
Li Xi and Gu Huaizhou arrived at this time.
"You're here?" Luo Wen said to Li Xi, "Why don't you and Huai Zhou sit on the sofa and listen?"
"it is good."
Li Xi led Gu Huaizhou to a sofa not far away and sat down.
Luo Wen sat in the chair in front of Huang Ying, scrutinized her for a moment, and suddenly said, "The girl who called me uncle just now is named Li Xi, and she is my sister's child."
"By the way, my sister is test subject number 1."
Lin Nuo frowned, not understanding what this had to do with her.
Luo Wen suddenly said, "I used your blood to do a kinship test with Li Xi. Guess what I found?"
Li Xi: "..."
Is this happening?
Huang Ying was initially puzzled as well.
But after only four or five seconds of bewilderment, Huang Ying suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "She is..."
"Could she be..." Huang Ying couldn't see clearly, but she subconsciously looked in the direction where Li Xi was sitting, her face filled with shock.
Luo Wen nodded without blinking. "That's right, you are her biological aunt."
With her guess confirmed, Huang Ying plopped back down on the bed.
"...It's actually true..."
Huang Ying murmured absentmindedly, "My brother didn't lie to me, he really did have a child with Number 1..."
Now it was Luo Wen and Li Xi's turn to be completely dumbfounded.
What Luo Wen just said was complete fabrication. He was trying to use these lies to trick Huang Ying, hoping to gain her favor through kinship and extract useful clues from her.
To his surprise, the oriole gave him a wonderful surprise.
Luo Wen and Li Xi exchanged a silent glance, both sensing disbelief in each other's eyes.
Luo Wenqiang tried to remain calm and said to Huang Ying, "So you knew about this too."
Huang Ying smiled wryly and said, "I know that the reason my brother was able to become Kasone's student is because his genes are different from ordinary people."
"Oh?"
Unable to hide his curiosity, Luo Wen asked, "What's so special about Zhou Yangzhi?"
"My brother experiences pain differently than most people, he..."
"He still has a certain probability that he can travel back in time on his own..."
"..." Everyone in the room fell silent.
Luo Wen suspected that Huang Ying was talking nonsense, but Li Xi showed a thoughtful expression.
Luo Wen asked Li Xi, "Xi Bao, do you believe it?"
Thinking about her rebirth, Li Xi asked Huang Ying, "Ms. Huang Ying, you said that Mr. Zhou Yangzhi has a certain probability of being able to go back to the past. How is that possible?"
Huang Ying's attitude was indeed more gentle when facing Li Xi.
She gave a weak smile before saying, "This is my brother's biggest secret. He first discovered his ability to travel back in time when I was 14. I was in the second year of junior high school, and on my way home from school, I encountered a group of thugs. I was..."
“I was very sad and wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide, but my brother jumped off the bridge and saved me. After he learned what happened to me, he told me that he would protect me.”
"That very night, when I opened my eyes, I found myself back in the alley where the incident happened, and I ran into that group of bastards again..."
"Then, my brother appeared out of nowhere and drove away those beasts. He broke one of his legs while saving me, so he has been walking with a limp ever since."
Huang Ying frowned and said hesitantly, "I always thought it was just a nightmare, but later I found that I was very resistant to boys getting close to me. I would tremble all over when they came near me."
"Because of this, my classmates suspected that I had contracted a strange disease and distanced themselves from me. My brother saw that I was always sullen and depressed, so he told me the truth."
"That was the first time my brother unleashed his extraordinary power."
After listening, Luo Wen and Lin Nuo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
They had read Zhou Yangzhi's information, which did mention that Zhou Yangzhi had a slight limp in his left leg.
"The second time was 23 years ago..."
At this point, Huang Ying looked at Li Xi again, and said in a choked voice, "He forced himself to go back to the past in order to save you."
Li Xi's hands were tightly clasped together, and her voice was hoarse: "What exactly happened?"
“Back then, when Kasorn discovered that my brother had the ability to feel pain, he forcibly extracted his sperm and combined it with your mother, forcing your mother to carry you for ten months and give birth to you.”
"Shortly after you were born, you were confirmed to possess your mother's supernatural ability to stay young forever. You became their most prized creation. They used you as a blood bank and imprisoned you underground in darkness. You died in the dungeon at the age of 8 due to excessive blood loss."
“Your death will not cause them any loss at all, because after confirming that you inherited your mother’s ability to stay young forever, Kasorn used the same method to make your mother give birth to four more children.”
"No one cares about your death except my brother."
"After you died, my brother forcibly went back to the past, back to the day you were born."
"That day, he risked his life to post a video exposing the research institute online, and took advantage of the chaos at the institute to escape with you."
"On that same day, I received an email from him. In the email, he explained the whole story and told me to go to a place called Longevity Town to find you."
“After that, I never heard from him again. But when I went to Changshou Town to look for you as instructed in the email, the research institute had already been emptied out, and I couldn’t find you.”
"Later I found out that after my brother led you to escape, he was shot to death and fell off a cliff. His body was then carelessly dumped into a sinkhole..."
To this day, Huang Ying still doesn't know where her brother's remains are hidden.
