Gu Mei looked at her leg.
“I can walk now. I’m sure I have a way to deal with Gu Qingcheng.”
Chu He looked at Gu Mei in surprise. She couldn’t help but recall the plan she had with Qin Chong to eliminate Gu Qingcheng in the final match of the Peach Lotus Cup.
However, Qin Chong had called her today to say that the chances of him killing Gu Qingcheng were zero.
Qin Chong couldn’t find a killer. No one in Jiang City’s black market dared to accept the job when they heard it was for Gu Qingcheng.
Lu Chi, the young master of the Lu family, was the reason. Because Gu Qingcheng knew Lu Chi, no one in the black market or the underworld dared to offend him by harming Gu Qingcheng.
“Damn Gu Qingcheng. She even knows Lu Chi.”
“Lu Chi?” Gu Mei asked Chu He in surprise. “Who is Lu Chi?”
“The young master of the Lu family, the boss of the underworld,” Chu He explained. “He visited our house last time. Didn’t you see him?”
“Huh?” Gu Mei was stunned. “When?”
Chu He sighed. “I forgot. You were sick in bed when Lu Chi and Gu Qingcheng visited the Gu family. You couldn’t leave your room, so I’m sure you didn’t see Lu Chi.”
“How about this…” Gu Mei replied casually, “What do you mean by ‘Lu Chi, the boss of the underworld!?”
“Are you stupid? ‘The underworld’ as in the black market,” Chu He said helplessly. “The assassins in Jiang City are all under Lu Chi’s control. So, if you’re thinking of hiring assassins to kill Gu Qingcheng, you’d better give up. Because Qin Chong and I have already considered this approach. Qin Chong even discussed it with me today. With Lu Chi backing Gu Qingcheng, no one will dare to touch her.”
Gu Mei was shocked. “Is Lu Chi that powerful?”
“Of course he’s powerful,” Chu He said, her face filled with hatred as she thought of Lu Chi protecting Gu Qingcheng. “You may say he’s powerful, but at the end of the day, he’s just a thug.”
“It’s amazing how a thug can make the entire Jiang City listen to his orders,” Gu Mei mused, her eyes lighting up at the thought of Lu Chi’s power. “I like powerful men the most. Is Lu Chi single? Otherwise, I’ll seduce him, sleep with him, and make him listen to me. With someone as powerful as him helping me, I won’t have to worry about not being able to kill Gu Qingcheng.”
“Stop dreaming,” Chu He sighed. “No matter how powerful Lu Chi is, he’s not as influential as Huo Sicheng.”
Gu Mei thought of Huo Sicheng, who had hurt her and preferred Gu Qingcheng over her. “What’s so great about a cripple? If he hadn’t married Gu Qingcheng, I wouldn’t have cared about him. Gu Qingcheng marrying a cripple is just perfect for her.’
Before Chu He could respond, Gu Mei continued, “Huo Sicheng is not that powerful. From what you’ve said, Lu Chi seems more powerful than Huo Sicheng.”
“Lu Chi is really not as good as Huo Sicheng,” Chu He corrected her. “Huo
Sicheng is not disabled. He’s a normal man who can walk. Also, I heard from Qin Chong that Huo Sicheng is decisive in the business world. He’s extremely wealthy and powerful, unmatched by anyone.”
“Ah…” Gu Mei looked at Chu He in shock. “Isn’t Huo Sicheng disabled?”
Chu He nodded. “Yes, Huo Sicheng is not disabled.”
“This… How is this possible?” Gu Mei couldn’t believe her mother’s words. “He’s a disabled person in a wheelchair. Everyone in Jiang City knows he’s inhumane…”
Chu He interjected, “I didn’t see Huo Sicheng walk myself, but Qin Chong said he saw Huo Sicheng stand up, so Huo Sicheng is definitely not really disabled. He has been pretending.”
“Qin Chong wouldn’t lie to me. I believe Huo Sicheng isn’t disabled,” Gu Mei said angrily. “Huo Sicheng is a cripple, a good-for-nothing. Gu Qingcheng will be a widow for the rest of her life if she marries him!”
Chu He stayed silent, knowing Gu Mei couldn’t accept that Huo Sicheng was a normal man. If he was, it meant Gu Qingcheng had married a perfect man, something neither of them could accept.
“Mom, tell me you were lying to me just now,” Gu Mei pleaded, unable to accept that Gu
Qingcheng had married a healthy Huo Sicheng.
Chu He shook her head. “Xiao Mei, I know it’s hard to accept, but it’s the truth.”
“Ah…” Gu Mei shouted angrily, “I’m going to kill Gu Qingcheng! She doesn’t deserve Huo Sicheng. He belongs to me, only I am worthy of him..
Chu He watched Gu Mei curse at Gu Qingcheng, then sighed. If only she had known Huo Sicheng was healthy, she would have forced him to marry Gu Mei.
“I’m going to find Qi Shaoze and ask him to kill Gu Qingcheng for me,” Gu Mei declared, heading for the door.
Chu He stopped her. “Xiao Mei, don’t be rash. Qi Shaoze likes Gu Qingcheng; he won’t help you. He might even turn against you.”
“I don’t care! I want Gu Qingcheng dead!” Gu Mei insisted.
Chu He hugged her daughter tightly, trying to calm her. “My good daughter, calm down…’
Gu Mei eventually settled down, then said, “You’re right, Mom. Qi Shaoze loves Gu Qingcheng. But he must hate Huo Sicheng. If I can’t have Huo Sicheng, I’ll kill him. Qi Shaoze will surely join me.”
Chu He was shocked.. “You want to kill Huo Sicheng?”
