Chapter 338: A Psychological Warfare
In Chi Xia's plan, letting Qu Bai take Ade away is the best option. Even if it arouses Old K's suspicion, she is confident that she can hold on until Luo Xun and the others arrive.
But the chain reaction brought about by Xiang Gu's incident was beyond their expectations.
They did not have any prior communication, and used that play to their advantage to achieve several goals at the same time.
She had a rough idea of the strength of the ace bodyguards around Old K, and Qu Bai also successfully deepened Old K's trust in him.
This is a pleasant surprise.
In the current situation, if Lao K wants to leave, he must send people out to make the arrangements. Ever since Chi Xiao and Cheng Jiu were arrested one after another, he seemed to be still in control, but Chi Xia knew that as several insiders lost contact one after another, he was actually in a panic.
Lao K sent someone to call her and said he was waiting for her in the restaurant.
Chi Xia went in and stood opposite him. She could clearly see the bruises on his neck: "Shouldn't we be eating so calmly?"
"Why not?"
Old K motioned for her to sit down: "We have a new cook at home, and the spicy and sour potato shreds are very good, would you like to try it?"
There was a pot of chicken soup on the table. It smelled delicious and looked very tempting. Chi Xia sat down and served herself a bowl first. Out of politeness, she also handed a bowl to Lao K.
She drank a mouthful of chicken soup and looked satisfied: "Give this soup to my mother, she will like it."
As soon as Old K waved, someone went to do it.
He also drank a mouthful of soup: "What happened to Luo Xun was not my intention, you..."
Chi Xia raised his hand: "Stop, I don't want to talk about this anymore. By the way, is the person who gossiped about me dead?"
Old K was not angry: "You said Xiang Gu, he has a life, whether he can survive depends on his luck."
Chi Xia breathed a sigh of relief while drinking her soup. She asked, "Where's Qu Bai?"
"He's out doing something. We'll be able to leave soon."
Seeing that the soup in her bowl was almost gone, Old K personally added more soup to her bowl: "Don't blame me. I can't help it."
Chi Xia drank soup and picked up vegetables, as if chatting with him: "You can't do anything. Even if Gao Lan died in prison, you can't fulfill her wish."
Old K paused holding the spoon and said, "You found out all this. It's a bit beyond my expectation."
"I found out a lot more than you thought. You are too arrogant and still think you are in control of everything."
Chi Xia took a bite of the shredded potatoes, which were sour, fragrant and delicious, and very appetizing.
"I know you all hate me, but there's nothing I can do. Essentially, we are all the same kind of people." Old K smiled.
Chi Xia didn't want to discuss this issue with him. She propped her chin up and asked, "Is Gao Jinhui dead? Did he die while Gao Lan was alive or afterwards?"
Old K's eyes darkened: "This is not something you should know."
Chi Xia shook his head lazily: "I should know why I am suffering because of my obsession. I think it is necessary. It should not be that Gao Lan died when he was alive. I remember him. He was lying next to me at that time."
Old K looked at her with a hint of surprise.
"Do you like that child?"
Chi Xia ate the food nonchalantly: "I'm actually quite curious. Gao Lan went to jail for his son's crime. This child deprived you of your time together and even caused the death of your two biological children. Why are you still so willing to plan for him? Is it just because of love?"
"Xiao Fei and Xu Jie's affairs have nothing to do with him. As for Gao Lan..."
When talking about this woman, Lao K's eyes were filled with tenderness: "She was the one who killed the man. Going to jail was her choice. Which parent doesn't want to protect their children? You are still young and don't understand many things."
The words sounded better than anyone else, but the deeds were not necessarily the same. Chi Xia smiled and said, "Do you know who Gao Jinhui's biological father is?"
Old K frowned slightly.
Chi Xia made a calculation in his mind: "It seems that you don't know that the man's name is Gao Xian, the same surname as Gao Lan. He is a serial killer. More than 20 years ago, he committed several major crimes that shocked the whole country. Not long after he was arrested, he was sentenced to death and executed immediately."
Old K lowered his head and drank a mouthful of soup: "What do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is, do know that Gao Lan's marriage to Cheng Du and being with you were all part of her plan? What happened to you in school was actually part of her plan? She needs a man to support her and protect her son, to protect her and Gao Xian's flesh and blood, because she discovered very early that the child inherited his father's criminal genes."
"Nonsense!" Old K's face was filled with anger, and he threw the spoon in his hand heavily on the table.
Chi Xia was not afraid at all: "It seems that you really don't understand. Think about it yourself. When did you, a literary pioneer who was immersed in literature, embark on a path of studying criminal genes? Think carefully about all the interactions you had with your so-called lover. Was it all for the sake of serving her son? Think again, why was your son Huang Wenfei so eager to prove himself to you, and why did Huang Xujie run away from you?"
She stared at Old K's face. "Because their father abandoned his first wife to be with another woman, and this woman's son deprived them of their father. Even if they came to you, everything you did was for the child of a third party. How did Gao Jinhui die? I'm still curious when I think about it now."
Chi Xia's words suddenly startled Old K. He raised his eyes and stared at Chi Xia with fierce and cold eyes .
Chi Xia picked up a piece of potato shreds with chopsticks and put them into the bowl : "Now that we've come to this point, I don't mind saying a few more words. It depends on whether you still want to listen."
Old K was silent for a while, then said gloomily, "Speak."
"Does Gao Lan know about your disability?"
As soon as these words came out, Lao K's face changed drastically, and he slammed the table: "Chi Xia, you are going too far!"
"Don't be so excited."
Chi Xia cooperated and made a startled gesture: "Now that I've said it, there's no need to hide it. I'm a straightforward person, so don't mind it."
Old K took a deep breath, adjusted his mood several times, and finally said gloomily: "What do you want to say!"
"I want to save my life."
Chi Xia said seriously, "If I want to save my life, I have to tell you some unpleasant things. I always thought you just didn't want to understand. Now it seems that someone just didn't let you know the truth."
Old K remained silent, and his heavy breathing expressed his anger at the moment.
Chi Xia continued, "How come those three female students just happened to appear in your sight? The incident got out of hand, you were expelled, and they all reconciled with you. Don't you think that all these things were just to get you on this path?"
“That’s enough!”
Old K interrupted her and stood up, "I asked you to come here to have a good meal with you, not to let you say these nonsense!"
"Is it me who is messing up or you just can't see clearly? The truth is there. If you want to think so, I can't help it."
Chi Xia served herself another bowl of soup. She said nothing more and drank the soup silently.
Lao K's expression changed several times, and finally he asked someone to come in and help him out.
Chi Xia smiled silently as he watched him leave.
"Can I go see Huang Xujie?"
She said to Lao K's back, "I'm very curious about him. I heard from Qu Bai that he is a very good person."
Old K's back froze for a few seconds, then he said, "I'll have someone take you there later."
She ate and drank her fill in the restaurant alone, then walked out slowly, calling someone to lead the way for her.
She said, "Where does Xiang Gu live now? Take me there to see him."
