The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 859 - 874: Do You Really Think You Can Kill Me?

Gu Nanxi looks at Zhong Li with a silent smile, letting her feed him a drink.

That night, Zhong Li lies in Gu Nanxi’s arms, and as they talk, she falls asleep. Gu Nanxi slowly withdraws his arm from under Zhong Li’s neck, covers her well with the blanket, and gets out of bed.

He pushes open the door of the hospital room and stands by the window at the end of the corridor, taking out a cigarette and lighting it with a tilt of his head. His enigmatic eyes gaze into the pitch-black night through the light smokey haze.

After being kidnapped today, the captors didn’t even touch him, instead directly locking him inside a sealed wooden box. How could Li Jiaxue possibly know he has claustrophobia?

Unless........

.......

After breakfast, Gu Nanxi had Assistant Cai handle his discharge paperwork. Worried about his health, Zhong Li specifically asked Han Xi, who confirmed that there was indeed nothing serious, and if he wanted to be discharged, he could be.

Gu Nanxi lovingly pinched Zhong Li’s chin, "I’ve already said I’m fine, but you still don’t believe me."

"Where are you going later, back to the company?"

"Just out for a bit, I’ll call you once I’m done."

Gu Nanxi visited the neighboring room to greet Qi Weidong and Yu Lu before leaving.

After exiting the hospital, Gu Nanxi instructed Assistant Cai to go directly to the police station; he wouldn’t let Li Jiaxue off so easily.

The car quickly stopped at the entrance of the police station. Assistant Cai stepped out of the car and opened the backseat door. Gu Nanxi adjusted the cuff of his black shirt before getting out.

While in the car, Gu Nanxi had called Director Li, saying he wanted to see Li Jiaxue.

His colleagues at the station saw Gu Nanxi and directly led him to the interrogation room.

Li Jiaxue was already slumped over the table, sleeping in a daze. She had been interrogated the entire night.

Gu Nanxi walked in, sat down in the chair opposite Li Jiaxue, and tapped the table heavily with his distinct fingers.

Li Jiaxue instinctively raised her head, and upon seeing Gu Nanxi, her pale face instantly turned cold, "You’re not dead yet."

"I’m afraid I’ve disappointed you."

Gu Nanxi looked down at her, his deep, unfathomable dark eyes emanating a chilling light, "You think just because you found Lin Yi and learned my weakness you can do whatever you want? Since I’m not dead, you’ll have quite a difficult time ahead."

"Gu Nanxi, this is the police station. Do you think you can kill me here?"

Gu Nanxi’s fingers casually tapped the table, the smile on his lips growing deeper, his dark eyes becoming more terrifyingly sharp, "I certainly won’t let you die so easily; a fate worse than death should be your destiny for the rest of your life."

Li Jiaxue raised her hand to smooth out her somewhat disheveled hair, "You better kill me, or when I get out, I won’t let this slide."

"What makes you think you still have a chance to get out, hmm?"

Gu Nanxi changed his posture, resting one hand on the back of the chair and the other on his leg.

"I only attempted murder, not a capital offense; why can’t I get out?" Li Jiaxue looked sharply at Gu Nanxi.

Gu Nanxi nodded thoughtfully before slowly speaking, "And what if I don’t want you to get out?"

"Gu Nanxi, do you think you can cover the sky with one hand? I’ll tell you, I also know people in the police station. Don’t think you’re the only one with connections; I’m no pushover either."

Li Jiaxue furiously slammed the table harder, and her agitation revealed her fear all the more.
