345: Interrogation

...

Looking at Gu Bing on the ground, trembling from the torture, Lin Xuan sneered incessantly.

This was just the appetizer.

"Speak, where is Blood Rose now?" Sitting in a chair, Lin Xuan mixed the potion.

"Blood... Blood Rose?" Gu Bing raised her head slightly, her sweat-soaked hair sticking to her fair cheeks, reflecting the tear stains from the torture in her watery eyes.

"I was helping you look for her, and then... I was caught and brought here."

She bit her lip lightly, her voice stuttering with a hint of fear, her innocent appearance like a lamb.

"You help me look for her?" A hint of coldness rose in Lin Xuan's eyes. Was this woman treating him like a fool?

What did this woman mean by saying this?

Was she trying to distance herself from Blood Rose?

"I'm asking you, where is Blood Rose?" In a cold voice, Lin Xuan directly grabbed Gu Bing's hair, leaned down, and said fiercely, "Tell me!"

"Lin Xuan, don't be like this, I'm... scared," Gu Bing replied, trembling.

With the contrast of the White Sweet medal and her extremely high Appearance, Gu Bing's appearance made people feel pity.

Even Lin Xuan seemed to have been hit by an illusion, momentarily stunned.

After recovering, Lin Xuan angrily pushed the woman in front of him aside, "You won't talk? I didn't realize you could be so stubborn."

Lin Xuan stood up, placing the medicine bottles one by one on the table in front of him, "It's okay, we have plenty of time."

...

Villa.

Xia Qingxue took a bite of the large intestine she made and immediately vomited in disgust.

"Why does it taste like this?"

Xia Qingxue couldn't understand and asked Xu Mengmeng.

Facing this question, Xu Mengmeng wanted to speak.

She just felt that if she told the truth, Xia Qingxue would likely be traumatized.

"Maybe it's your first time making it, you're not quite familiar yet," Xu Mengmeng comforted.

Xia Qingxue rinsed her mouth.

Thinking of Lin Xuan's evaluation of this dish, her mood improved significantly, "Even though it was so unpalatable, Lin Xuan still ate a whole piece and said I made it delicious. He's so good."

As she said this, a hint of worry rose in Xia Qingxue's heart.

Not long ago, through Lin Xuan's narration, she had already understood that during their time at the bottom of the cliff, Lin Xuan had become addicted to the food Gu Bing made.

And up to now, the food she made and the food Gu Bing made were completely on different levels, and not the same taste.

Given this, would Lin Xuan one day become suspicious of her identity based on the taste of the food she made?

She had to solve this problem!

"By the way, where is Lin Xuan? Why haven't I seen him?"

Xia Qingxue looked at Xu Mengmeng.

"I don't know," Xu Mengmeng shook her head, but then took out her telephone, "I'll ask the 'Black Core Detective Agency'."

"Those paparazzi you arranged?" Xia Qingxue instinctively frowned, "Why haven't they been withdrawn yet?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to keep an eye on him?"

"It's different now, he's going to marry me."

"Got it," Xu Mengmeng rolled her White Eyes, and upon seeing the reply on her telephone, she said in surprise, "These paparazzi are really dedicated, they can tell me Lin Xuan's location as soon as I ask."

"Where is Lin Xuan?" Xia Qingxue leaned closer.

"Basement? What is he doing there?"

Knowing that Lin Xuan was in the basement, Xia Qingxue touched up her makeup slightly.

"Click~"

Just as she arrived at the basement door, Lin Xuan happened to walk out from inside.

"Xia Qingxue? Why are you here?" The gloom on Lin Xuan's face instantly vanished upon seeing Xia Qingxue.

"I want you to keep me company," Xia Qingxue said shyly.

While speaking, her gaze also caught sight of a woman slumped against the wall behind the door.

"Gu Bing?" The moment she saw the other person, Xia Qingxue exclaimed.

A panicked expression immediately surged in her eyes.

It was as if she had stolen something and the owner had come to her door.

"She, why is she here?" Xia Qingxue looked at Lin Xuan with extreme concern.

Had Gu Bing gone back on her word and come to tell Lin Xuan the whole truth at this time?

"Uncle Xia caught her," Lin Xuan comforted, "Didn't I tell you when we were at the bottom of the cliff?"

"Gu Bing poisoned me, making me no match for Blood Rose, which is why I fell off the cliff, causing us to suffer so much at the bottom."

"I was just interrogating her about where Blood Rose is."

"Is that so?" Xia Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed Gu Bing hadn't gone back on her word and hadn't told the whole truth.

However, even so, Xia Qingxue still felt uneasy.

"Then, did you get any information about Blood Rose from her?"

"No, this woman really doesn't seem to know," Lin Xuan frowned.

After so much torture, Gu Bing still hadn't revealed any useful information.

He knew that under his methods, no matter how firm someone's belief was, there would be a hint of wavering, leading them to reveal some information.

However, he hadn't gotten any news from Gu Bing.

This could only mean that Gu Bing truly didn't know where Blood Rose was.

"Lin Xuan, can I talk to her?" Xia Qingxue suddenly said.

"You and her? What do you have to talk about?"

"We are both women, maybe I can get some information?"

If it were someone else giving this reason, Lin Xuan would definitely dismiss it as a joke.

If he couldn't get anything, no one else could.

But since it was Xia Qingxue speaking, he didn't mind.

Since Xia Qingxue wanted to talk to Gu Bing alone, then let them talk.

Anyway, Gu Bing had been tortured to the point of having no strength left, so there was no need to worry about her doing anything to Xia Qingxue.

Sitting in the chair, Xia Qingxue smiled at Lin Xuan in the distance.

"Bang~"

The basement door closed heavily.

Turning her head to look at Gu Bing leaning against the wall, the woman's eyes immediately filled with frost.

"Didn't you say you would leave Lin Xuan? Appearing here now, are you still delusional about taking him away from me?!"

Gu Bing, leaning against the wall, didn't speak.

Her half-open beautiful eyes conveyed her powerlessness after being tortured.

"Not speaking? Did I hit the mark?!" Xia Qingxue's fingers turned white from gripping.

"I'm telling you, in less than a week, Lin Xuan and I will be engaged, we will become husband and wife!"

"Give up your delusions!"

"You... are getting engaged?" Finally, Gu Bing, leaning against the wall, spoke in a hoarse voice, as if she cared deeply.

"Hmph, regretting pushing Lin Xuan to me at the bottom of the cliff?" Saying this, Xia Qingxue showed smugness.

"No..." Gu Bing said, lowering her head.

After a long silence, she said with a low mood, "Lin Xuan likes you, and you like Lin Xuan. I wish you a happy marriage."

"Tch, I don't need your blessing."

Seeing Gu Bing's attitude, Xia Qingxue stood up with satisfaction, "I hope you have truly let go of Lin Xuan, that way... you can still live."

In fact, during this time, Xia Qingxue had seriously considered killing Gu Bing.

After all, this woman knew too much!

Only dead people could keep her secrets forever.

However, this thought was only fleeting.

Lin Xuan had just left, and if Gu Bing in the basement died immediately, everyone would know she killed her.

Moreover, Xia Qingxue herself didn't dare to do it.

Simply because she had never killed anyone, let alone committed murder.

Now seeing Gu Bing's attitude, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

At least this woman temporarily had no intention of snatching Lin Xuan back.

However, just as Xia Qingxue was about to leave.

Whether intentionally or not, a dry grass ring suddenly fell from Gu Bing's body onto the ground, attracting Xia Qingxue's attention.
