Chapter 19: Even if Xu Tian wanted her life

~8 min read 1,467 words

Xu Tian glanced at the content of the document.

It was a gratuitous transfer contract.

Xu Tian looked coldly at Xu Pingfeng and Yang Rongjuan: "Sign? Heh, unless I die, otherwise, don't even think about it!"

He had no intention of forcing his way out.

He was very clear about his own physical fitness; having spent these years indulging in debauchery, his physical fitness was simply not on the same level as these bodyguards.

If they really started fighting, he wouldn't be able to win at all.

Xu Tian's attitude made Xu Pingfeng very uncomfortable.

At this moment, he felt for the first time that Xu Tian was no longer the waste he could manipulate at will.

"Good, good, good, you were raised by me, you do have some of my backbone, but I want to see if you can stay tough to the end!"

As he spoke, Xu Pingfeng ordered the three bodyguards outside the door: "Take his phone, lock him in the room, don't give him anything to eat; don't let him out until he agrees to sign!"

Hearing the order, the three bodyguards immediately surrounded Xu Tian.

Xu Tian didn't resist; seeing the bodyguards reaching for his pockets, he took out his phone directly, threw it on the table, and looked indifferently at the Xu Pingfeng couple: "I hope you won't regret this."

After speaking, Xu Tian walked toward his own room in this house.

Seeing Xu Tian's calm expression just now, Xu Pingfeng felt a sense of having completely lost control over Xu Tian for no reason.

This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Regret?"

"Heh! Xu Tian, once you sign, you'll be a penniless waste. If you don't sign, don't even think about leaving here alive!"

Meanwhile, Jiangcheng High-Speed Railway Station.

Tang Bingyan and A Wei's group were standing at the entrance.

Chen Xiaoxiao was not there; she had to stay in Jiangcheng to handle the follow-up matters of transferring those assets to Xu Tian.

At this moment, Tang Bingyan had been discharged for three hours; she could have left Jiangcheng long ago, and she had even changed her high-speed rail ticket three times, but she still hadn't left.

Before, after seeing the ambiguous photos of Xu Tian and that woman and the recording of that call, she had indeed given up and wanted to leave this place.

However, when the moment to leave really arrived, Tang Bingyan felt as if her heart was being stabbed by a knife.

She knew Xu Tian was a bastard, and she knew Xu Tian was not a person worth entrusting her life to, but she just couldn't let go.

Even though Xu Tian had hurt her many times, she still deeply liked Xu Tian.

She wasn't waiting for Xu Tian to come find her, just waiting for news from Xu Tian.

As long as Xu Tian could send her a message asking her to stay, she would stay without hesitation.

However, three hours, a full three hours had passed, and Xu Tian hadn't called her, hadn't even sent a message...

As time passed, the disappointment in Tang Bingyan's heart accumulated like grains of sand, more and more.

These past two days, she could clearly feel Xu Tian's changes.

She could feel that Xu Tian seemed to have signs of having a change of heart.

As long as Xu Tian said "don't go" to her, she would give Xu Tian another chance.

Even if Xu Tian wanted her life...

"Could it be that these past two days were my illusion?"

Tang Bingyan looked at the crowds coming and going, looked at the couples, but her heart was desolate.

"Tang Zong, ticket checking is almost over, we need to enter the station," A Wei next to her reminded.

"Mm." Tang Bingyan slowly took a breath, suppressing all the emotions in her heart.

In the end, she took out her phone and dialed Chen Xiaoxiao's number.

She didn't have Xu Tian's number; when she argued with him the night before last, Xu Tian changed his number in a fit of anger, and the number saved in her contacts couldn't be reached at all.

Soon, the call was answered.

"Tang Zong, have you boarded?" Chen Xiaoxiao's voice came from the phone.

Tang Bingyan hesitated for a moment, and instead of answering, she asked: "Has he come to find you?"

"No."

Chen Xiaoxiao on the other side of the phone answered quickly, almost without any hesitation.

Hearing Chen Xiaoxiao's firm tone, Tang Bingyan fell silent.

Perhaps, she really wasn't that important in Xu Tian's heart...

No, to be precise, perhaps Xu Tian never had her in his heart at all!

"Okay, I understand."

After speaking, Tang Bingyan hung up the phone.

Before leaving, she looked back at this small city that wasn't very prosperous.

Returning to the Imperial Capital was her rebirth, and also his new beginning.

Leaving, letting him go, and letting herself go...

Tang Bingyan left.

And on the other end of the phone, Chen Xiaoxiao sat on the chair, as if she had collapsed.

Just now she said Xu Tian hadn't contacted her, hadn't looked for Tang Bingyan; she said it very decisively, but she felt a heavy sense of guilt in her heart.

She knew how much Tang Bingyan liked Xu Tian, and she also knew how painful Tang Bingyan would feel after hearing her lie.

However, she had to do this!

"Tang Zong, forgive me for lying to you for the first time, but everything I did was for you."

Jiang Province, Jinbin Villa District.

Li Fujiang's voice came from Building A008.

"Slap!"

"Bitch, I was wondering why Dong'er's illness was getting worse and worse, it turns out you were the one playing tricks behind my back!"

"I only have this one son, how dare you? How dare you!"

A yellow-haired middle-aged woman was knocked to the ground; she covered half of her face, and her whole body was covered in scars.

This woman was none other than Li Fujiang's wife, Wu Rong.

Some time ago, Li Fujiang's son, Li Dong, suddenly fell ill.

In just a few days, Li Fujiang had invited all the famous doctors in the provincial capital, but none of them could cure Li Dong.

Finally, Li Fujiang heard that Zhang Zizhen, who once had the name of a divine doctor in the country, was living in seclusion in Jiangcheng, so he hurried to Jiangcheng.

As a result, he didn't even get to see Zhang Zizhen's face before he was driven away.

Later, he heard that Zhang Zizhen had gone to Jiangcheng Hospital, but he was still a step late.

However, at Jiangcheng Hospital, he met Xu Tian; Xu Tian told him that Wu Rong had poisoned Li Dong. Originally, he just thought Xu Tian was a lunatic.

However, watching Li Dong's illness get worse and worse, he inexplicably checked the surveillance at home.

Only to find that Wu Rong had actually poisoned his son's food!

"Speak, what poison did you give Dong'er!"

Li Fujiang grabbed Wu Rong by the collar, his gaze so cold it seemed like he could kill.

His first wife died early; this was his second wife.

He had always been very good to Wu Rong, never expecting that Wu Rong would harm his son!

"I said, I didn't poison him, what I gave him was medicine, it can cure his illness."

Wu Rong's face was covered in blood, but there wasn't much fear in her expression as she looked at Li Fujiang.

"Heh, medicine?"

Li Fujiang laughed in extreme anger: "I already sent the powder you put in Dong'er's food for testing; it's a type of chronic poison! Are you still going to quibble?!"

"I said, I didn't poison him, someone wants to harm me, Li Fujiang, you've been deceived!"

She knew Li Fujiang's character too well.

As long as she didn't admit to poisoning him, and didn't give the antidote, there was still a glimmer of hope for survival.

Once she admitted it, there would be no possibility of survival.

"You poisonous woman! If you don't tell me the antidote, I'll beat you to death today!"

As he spoke, Li Fujiang raised his fist again and hit Wu Rong.

However, no matter how he hit her, Wu Rong still insisted that she hadn't poisoned him.

Just as Wu Rong was beaten to the point of being on the verge of death, a young man who looked like a bodyguard walked in hurriedly.

As if he didn't see Wu Rong on the ground, he walked straight to Li Fujiang and said:

"President Li, I've already found out."

"That person's name is Xu Tian, the adopted son of Xu Pingfeng and his wife from the Xu Corporation in Jiangcheng, this is his phone number." ===== CHAPTER 20 =====
