C67 (1/2)

She and Sheng Liang had just went to see her family and she had also seen how safe it was for Sheng Liang. Now that Sheng Hua said that Qiao Nan was in his hands, what right did she have to believe him?

”Do you think that Sheng Liang protected them very well?” Sheng Hua scoffed, ”He did that on purpose for you to see, I didn't even bother to capture Qiao Nan.”

Seeing that Qiao Xuan did not believe him, Sheng Hua took out his phone and opened up a video. From the video, Qiao Nan could be seen tied to a chair, his mouth was stuck to the tape, and his entire face was covered in blood.

”Nan...” Qiao Xuan bit his lower lip and clenched his fists tightly. However, when he spoke to Sheng Hua again, his tone was visibly weaker: ”What do you want me to do?”

”Come out, I have something for you.” Sheng Hua said complacently when he heard her compromise.

After dinner, Qiao Xuan took the opportunity to go out and buy something, and arrived at the rendezvous point with Sheng Hua.

Sheng Hua took out a small glass bottle from his pocket and handed it over to her. ”As long as you let Sheng Liang eat this, I'll let him go.”

”What is this?” Qiao Xuan was a little apprehensive.

”Don't worry, they won't die.” After Sheng Hua finished speaking, he straightened his clothes, turned around and left, ”I advise you not to question Sheng Liang, he won't admit to it, he'll instead make your parents even more dangerous.”

Qiao Xuan looked at the small glass bottle, and slowly clenched his fist.

When she went back, she saw Sheng Liang standing under a hibiscus tree in the courtyard. Purple red flowers, green leaves, and he was dressed in black, which added to the paleness of his face.

Qiao Xuan held onto the bottle in his hand and placed it back into his pocket. He walked over and asked: ”What are you doing here?”

Sheng Liang did not answer, but said: ”The sky is cold, we should find someone to wrap around these trees.”

Sheng Liang did not say much useless words, and was not too worried about the small matters in the family, so when Qiao Xuan heard him say this, he did not understand what he was trying to say.

However, no one was able to guess his thoughts.

Returning to her room, Qiao Xuan sat on the side of her bed and looked at the small bottle in her hands. She knew that it was definitely not a good thing and it would definitely have a great effect on Sheng Liang.

She swore in her heart that she would never betray Sheng Liang, what's more, how could she help Sheng Hua deal with him.

But Qiao Nan was in Sheng Hua's hands, she knew him too well. If she did not do as he said, he would definitely kill Qiao Nan.

In her previous life, she did not protect her family. In this life, she could not let her little brother get hurt again.

She had never thought of making a choice between Sheng Liang and her family because they were the most important people to her.

How could the heavens be so cruel? They had to make her make such a difficult decision.

Qiao Xuan opened that video and looked at the Qiao Nan in it. His entire body was covered in blood, and although she didn't know what he had experienced, her tears unconsciously fell.

Qiao Xuan continued to look at it, keep looking, then his eyes suddenly flashed, looked at the bottle beside his hand, and held it tightly in his hand.

Before he left, Qiao Xuan took a cup of coffee and said to Sheng Liang: ”I grinded the coffee when I woke up in the morning. I hope that in the future, I can grind it for you every day.”

”Thank you.” Sheng Liang took it from her hand, glanced at it, and then took a sip.

Qiao Xuan watched as he finished drinking and took a deep breath.

When Qiao Xuan and the others arrived, Sheng Hua and his people were already seated in the spectator's seats. Before the court session, Sheng Hua even turned to look at Qiao Xuan, as if to confirm that she had not done as he said.

Qiao Xuan looked at him, but did not reveal any expression.

Hearing the prosecution's explanation, Qiao Xuan realized that Sheng Liang went to a warehouse at the dock that night. Inside the warehouse, other than finding drugs, there were also smuggled guns.

Most importantly, when the police arrived, two of them were dead, and Sheng Liang had a gun in his hands.

Although he never admitted it, there were only him and the two dead men there, and his fingerprints were on the gun.
