Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Others Visit the Sick, He Visits the Grave

The car arrived at Hai City Hospital.

In the middle of the way, Old Chen even got off to buy a large bouquet of chrysanthemums.

Qiao Xi was utterly confused, not knowing why Huo Xingzhou brought her to the hospital to vent his anger.

Could it be?

Her mind flashed, and she suddenly thought of a possibility.

Her clear gaze landed on the man in a suit, who was holding her hand on one side, and holding the bouquet on the other as they walked forward.

The two walked through the corridor and entered the inpatient department, taking the elevator directly to the executive ward on the 22nd floor.

“Mr. Huo, are you taking me to…”

“To get treatment.”

His eyes shimmered with a subtle gleam, concealing a coldness.

“Qiao Xi, don’t be afraid. I really brought you here to get treatment, and I will bear any consequences.”

Qiao Xi nodded emphatically.

They stood outside the door of the hospital room. The door was ajar, and they could still hear someone inside making phone calls.

Xiang Huai was lying on the bed, victoriously announcing the good news, “On the first of next month, at the birthday celebration of the Xu Family, our engagement with Xingluo will be announced. Everyone should come and support.”

He couldn’t wait to share this happy news with the world.

He had finally obtained the woman of his dreams, and such an alliance would bring immense benefits to the Xiang Family. Even his generally dismissive father would personally attend the banquet in Haicheng.

Xiang Huai smirked, but remembering Huo Xingzhou’s gaze, his mood turned cold instantly.

He didn’t plan to let him expand into the Imperial Capital.

He would find a way to collaborate with the noble families in the Imperial Capital to oppress Tianyuan Group, ensuring that he would never reach the top in his lifetime and could only remain a local emperor in Haicheng.

Clang.

The door suddenly burst open.

Xiang Huai was startled.

Seeing Huo Xingzhou and his wife appear before him, his eyes seethed with venom.

“Huo Xingzhou, you dare show your face to me!” his speech whistled through his unfixed front teeth, making him sound comical rather than imposing.

Huo Xingzhou placed the bouquet of chrysanthemums by his bedside and moved a chair for Qiao Xi, gesturing for her to sit down.

Then he said, “Why wouldn’t I dare? You talk righteousness even after killing someone; I haven’t done anything to feel guilty about.”

“You… It was you who leaked the photos from my phone! You shameless!” Xiang Huai, lacking any composure, appeared even more laughable in his hospital gown with his swollen face.

The once elegant young master had lost all his charm.

He couldn’t help but sneeze twice.

Huo Xingzhou, with an indifferent expression, said with a slightly deep voice, “Shouldn’t you be thankful then, for my role in bringing you and Xu Xingluo together?”

“You…”

Xiang Huai, lying in the hospital bed, was furiously gasping for air, trying to calm his rage, “The alliance between the Xiang Family and the Xu Family will make us stronger! Indeed, I should thank you for that. Wait till you get to the Imperial Capital, I’ll treat you well!”

His idea of treatment was definitely not well-meaning.

“That’s very kind of you, but you better recover from your injuries first. Showing up at the Xu Family banquet with a pig’s face would be too embarrassing for Xu Xingluo.”

Xiang Huai was nearly infuriated to the point of vomiting blood.

The doctor had mentioned that his injuries indeed needed more time to heal, and it wasn’t certain whether they would be fully healed by then.

“That’s none of your damn business!” he cursed out loud.

Huo Xingzhou calmly said, “We are, after all, brothers. Qiao Xi, aren’t you practicing the ‘Plum Blossom Nine Needles’? Give our young master Xiang a good treatment.”

Xiang Huai’s pupils contracted: “What are you doing?”

Silver needles could kill a person.

He had seen firsthand how his uncle, Lu Bannong, could decide life and death with a single silver needle.

Qiao Xi was Cheng Han’s disciple, and he faintly recalled the family elders discussing that Cheng Han and Lu Bannong were archenemies.

Moreover, he had plotted the death of Qiao Xi’s grandmother.

She must harbor resentment in her heart.

“Get out! Where’s the nurse? Murder is illegal!” Xiang Huai desperately tried to escape while Huo Xingzhou pressed down on his wound.

Qiao Xi, quick as lightning, jabbed a cold, sharp Golden Needle into his Yamen Acupoint, her pretty face icy with disdain: “You know that murder is illegal?”

Initially, he had killed his grandmother without valuing human life at all.

“Ah?” Xiang Huai opened his mouth, unable to make a sound.

His expression terrified, he watched as Qiao Xi inserted two more needles into him, causing paralysis in his limbs and rendering him immobile.

He could only move his head, shaking it as his eyes revealed his fear.

Qiao Xi’s dark eyes were filled with coldness, “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.”

She would not use the “Plum Blossom Nine Needles” to kill, as she wouldn’t tarnish her medical skills because of Xiang Huai.

She would not become someone as callous toward human life as Xiang Huai.

Her grandmother’s death had ignited an undying anger in her heart.

Her words hit Xiang Huai’s ears differently, she wouldn’t kill him, but could she leave him disabled?

He didn’t want to become disabled!

Xiang Huai opened his mouth in desperation, trying to say something, but his vocal cords made no sound, and he couldn’t even press the bell for help.

No wonder his uncle had said never to underestimate any practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.

Qiao Xi swiftly and precisely inserted a long needle.

Xiang Huai felt a pain as if ants were boring into his heart, torturing him to death.

Veins popped out on the back of his hands and his neck.

“This set ofneedling is for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, it’s a bit painful.” Qiao Xi’s tone was calm, her movements uninterrupted.

She dearly wished she could stab Xiang Huai to death, but she couldn’t.

Watching his painful expression reminded her of how desperate her grandmother must have felt in the fire.

This was just reclaiming the interest.

Twisting the needle, inserting it.

Twisting the needle, inserting it again.

It was more than just a bit painful!

Xiang Huai didn’t know what magic she used that made his whole body endure unbearable pain, worse than the night Huo Xingzhou had beaten him.

And yet, he couldn’t scream out.

Half an hour later, this torture session finally ended, and Qiao Xi removed and tidied up all nine needles.

Xiang Huai lay on the bed sweating profusely, looking as though he had been dragged out of water.

“Qiao Xi, you are truly vicious! You will never compare to Xingluo! Huo Xingzhou, you must be blind to marry such a heartless woman!”

Huo Xingzhou looked at him indifferently, “You still have the energy to shout? Qiao Xi, you go out and wait for me.”

Qiao Xi looked at him uneasily.

He gently rubbed her fingers and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not going to hit anyone today.”

“Oh, then I’ll just head out to see Shu Xue.”

Qiao Xi moved her feet and left the hospital room.

Xiang Huai leaned against a corner, fear rising in his heart, “Huo Xingzhou, you can’t touch me. I have the support of both the Xiang Family and the Lu Family’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall.”

“Oh, then why are your hands shaking? Because you also know very well what I can do to you in Haicheng, and how I can handle the aftermath, right?”

Huo Xingzhou sat on a stool, his long legs casually crossed, his calm black eyes observing him.

Xiang Huai breathed rapidly.

“Don’t worry.” His tone was low, “You carry a life on your back, and your only fate is prison.”

Xiang Huai laughed loudly to mask his guilt, “Do you think I’m so foolish as to admit that I killed the old woman? Too bad it wasn’t your wife who died.”

He provocatively looked at Huo Xingzhou.

Huo Xingzhou’s gaze grew progressively colder, yet his voice remained calm, “You’ll admit it one day.”

“Huo Xingzhou, are you joking? Do I, Xiang Huai, look that foolish? Who would… yawn, yawn!”

“You look very foolish, like a petty clown.”

Huo Xingzhou stood up and shoved a bunch of chrysanthemums into Xiang Huai’s face, smearing pollen all over him.

His eyes devoid of any warmth, his voice flat, “Sorry, I forgot you’re severely allergic to pollen.”

Xiang Huai sneezed continuously, itching incessantly.

Huo Xingzhou “kindly” pressed the emergency bell for him.
