Qu Xiao keenly sensed the danger. She suddenly opened her eyes and suppressed the murderer’s hand with her thin arm.
Their eyes met. The syringe had slipped from Qu Qi’s hand. She lost the opportunity to murder Qu Xiao.
A chill rushed to Qu Xiao’s heart as she grabbed Qu Qi’s wrist forcefully.
“What are you trying to do?”
Qu Qi panicked and wanted to shake her off, but Qu Xiao used all her strength to hold her back.
“Qu Xiao, go to hell and never wake up! Let me marry into the Shang family. Isn’t it great? Stop struggling!”
Qu Qi lowered her voice as she said. She gripped the syringe fiercely, trying to stab it into Qu Xiao’s body.
This crazy woman wanted to kill her again?
Qu Xiao’s wound was in severe pain, and she gradually lost her strength. However, the sound of a wheelchair suddenly rose in her ears.
She immediately shouted at the door for Shang Yan.
“Help! Shang Yan, help me!”
Bang!
The door was immediately pushed open.
Shang Yan was sitting in the wheelchair. When he saw the syringe in Qu Qi’s hand, his face darkened.
The bodyguards in the Shang family rushed over. They surrounded Qu Qi and snatched the syringe.
Qu Xiao panted heavily. She patted her chest, and her eyes were red with tears. She looked at Shang Yan with a weak face and said, “She wants to kill me while you’re not here.”
Shang Yan frowned. His eyes were cold as he stared at Qu Qi as if he was waiting for her to give an explanation.
“Shang Yan, don’t misunderstand. How could I harm my sister?”
“I’m a medical student. I’m doing this so that she can recover soon. Believe me!”
Qu Xiao’s eyes were cold as she watched her lie. She weakly sat up on the bed and said, “Just ask the doctor to do a test and find out what kind of drug is in the syringe!”
Shang Yan sent someone to get the doctor over. He quickly took out the drug to do the test. Soon, the test instrument came up with an analysis report.
The doctor stared at the data. His expression was slightly solemn as he looked at Qu Qi.
“This drug does indeed have analgesic effects, but it will cause the patient to go into shock and even become a vegetable when it is overused.”
Shang Yan’s pupils constricted.
Qu Qi was so nervous that she gulped. Her eyes darted around as she stared at the ground, then she explained in a panic, “I’m sorry! I accidentally gave a high dosage, but it’s because I was too anxious when I saw her faint suddenly. I didn’t mean to make a mistake. You won’t blame me, right?”
Qu Xiao had broken her skin while she was struggling with Qu Qi. The doctor used iodine to disinfect her wound, but the pain made her gasp.
Apologize?
Qu Xiao’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “If a criminal can get away with it by apologizing, why do we need the police? You have committed intentional injury!”
“Honey, please help me contact the police. I will call the police to protect my rights and keep safe!”
Qu Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly as she said it, but Shang Yan looked at her in surprise.
In the past, Qu Xiao was gloomy and weak. She would definitely not tangle with Qu Qi. She would even probably compromise and let her go.
But now, Qu Xiao’s eyes were flashing with confidence. She was exuding a powerful aura and was full of vitality.
Shang Yan quietly looked at her for two seconds and turned back to instruct the butler to call the police as she requested.
Qu Qi realized that the situation was not good for her. She panicked and wanted to rush to the bedside, but the bodyguards raised their hands to stop her.
Because Shang Yan was present, Qu Qi could only swallow the threats and curses on the tip of her tongue. She was so nervous that her body trembled as she said, “Qu Xiao, I’m your sister! Everything I did was for your own good!”
“Really?”
Qu Xiao pursed her lips as she said, “You told me to threaten my husband with a fake knife, but you secretly switched it to a real one. Did you do that for my own good too?”
Qu Qi choked. “I ... ”
Shang Yan’s gaze had turned completely cold. “You gave her the knife?”
Qu Qi hurriedly shook her head. “No, it wasn’t me ... ”
Qu Xiao interrupted her and said slowly, “It’s easy to tell. We’ll see after we check the fingerprints on the knife.”
Qu Qi widened her eyes.
She believed that Qu Xiao would not betray her. So she did not wipe off the fingerprints at all. She did not expect that Qu Xiao would take advantage of it.
Qu Qi could not help but curse, “Qu Xiao, you b*tch! Idiot! It must be your plan. You set me up!”
Slap!
Qu Xiao endured the pain in her wound and raised her hand to give Qu Qi a slap, emitting a clear and crisp sound.
“This is a lesson for you to learn to shut up!”
Qu Qi covered her face in shock.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
