He felt a fire rush from his heart to his throat, and he struggled to absorb some fresh breath, gasping for breath with great effort......

He could feel his forehead burning, his head drowsy, and the pain of his flesh spreading in every part of his body.

He tried his best to open his eyes, trying to see the world clearly, but he couldn't, his weak body couldn't support any of his movements.

But he could feel that he was waking up, his body was no longer cold and numb, and the warm environment made him feel at peace.

He even wanted to laugh—

Gu Qingxuan is still alive.

The eyes weighed a thousand pounds, slowly raised, and the blurred vision, as if shrouded in mist, layer after layer, gradually faded, and a figure that did not move was half hidden and half revealed, so familiar......

"Brother River......" He tried many times, and finally his voice sounded, hoarse and low, and every word he spat out was like an axe and saw rubbing against dead wood, but this short salutation contained a great blessing for the escape from death.

"We all ...... Alive......"

He laughed.

A thick brocade fell on his smiling face, covering his mouth and nose, and a strong hand pressed down, stifling his faint breathing.

He began to struggle in pain, and the intense desire to survive prompted him to open his eyes wide, his eyes wide, his vision clear, and he could see clearly Jiang Hechuan's terrifyingly cold face.

The more Gu Qingxuan struggled, the harder he worked, the two looked at each other, Gu Qingxuan gasped hard, and stared at him in surprise.

The indifference in Jiang Hechuan's eyes, which was like an ice blade, instantly turned into volcanic anger, and he looked at Gu Qingxuan suffocating in pain and being indifferent: "That's what you're afraid of, isn't it?"

"You are always ready to be the enemy of everyone in the world, you can play with those opponents in applause, but you are afraid of the people standing next to you, you are afraid that you will not be able to defend yourself against the sword erected by your companions, so you make a move in front of people, leaving no hidden danger, even if it is an old friend who has joined forces with you for 20 years, you will completely eradicate it, and do not let a little handle remain in the hands of others......"

"How do you feel now?Hopeless?Scared?Gu Qingxuan, do you feel it?Do you remember Yin Jiheng, who was killed by you like this that night?"

"Bring down the Lu family, destroy the Yin family, your ambitions, your darkness, your methods, I know clearly, I am the most dangerous one, I should have thought that you would attack me sooner or later, but I still stupidly trusted you for so many years!"

The force in his hand lightened as he spoke, and Gu Qingxuan gained a trace of breath with great difficulty, "I...... No...... It's not me ......."

"Gu Qingxuan, don't hide it, who do you think I am? Do you let you deceive Yin Jiheng? I know you! You have been suspicious of me for a long time! Especially after Yin Chengyuan found me and asked me to betray you, you completely murdered me! What kind of kidnapping? It was all controlled by you! Your ghost trick! Others will be kept in the dark by you, but I won't!"

Jiang Hechuan looked at him like a dying fish, Gu Qingxuan at this time had reached the end of his life, and he was only a thin line away from death.

When Gu Qingxuan and Jiang Xiange were sent back for treatment, almost at the same moment, the missing Jiang Hechuan also appeared and returned to them unharmed - he not only asked the kidnappers to send Jiang Xiange a ransom letter, he also left himself a way out, his last hole card.

Fortunately, he was right, when Jiang Xiange was killed, there was another person he could count on......

So the kidnappers spared him, and he survived.

Since he was tied up in a dark house by Weiyang Lake, he has experienced despair, turnaround, epiphany, and hope......

During this period of time, he had been here watching Gu Qingxuan struggle on the verge of death, the same situation as before - Gu Qingxuan escaped death again.

And he, if he doesn't leave a follow-up move, he will definitely die.

The Gu family, including his daughter who woke up in a coma, were all anxious for Gu Qingxuan, they listened to the doctor's words and believed that Gu Qingxuan's life was in danger, and he knew that Gu Qingxuan would wake up eventually......

So he has been waiting here, not leaving an inch, and the others are very moved, so he let him guard Gu Qingxuan alone.

He believed that even if he really suffocated Gu Qingxuan now, no one would suspect him.

It's like no one would have thought that his kidnapping was Gu Qingxuan's conspiracy!

Jiang Hechuan removed his hand.

Gu Qingxuan gained vitality again, not from God, but from an old friend with whom he had been friends for more than 20 years.

Gu Qingxuan gasped violently, exhaled heavily, his pale face was already red, and the pain was extreme, he slowed down for a long time before he could make a faint voice again, trying to calm himself down: "Why ......?"

Jiang Hechuan finally understood those who hated Gu Qingxuan, his calm appearance was really annoying, making him want to cover his mouth and nose again......

"Those people who kidnapped me are ...... from the Heluo Sword Sect"

"I know their code, have you forgotten? When Hong Luotian taught you the sparrow code, I was next to me! It's just that those killers don't know that I know! As soon as I heard it, I exposed their identity. I'm very sorry, Gu Qingxuan, I'm not as stupid as you imagined, and I'm rich, I don't hesitate to spend 200,000 yuan to buy my own life, 200,000 taels of silver, heh, it also let me see you clearly, it's actually worth it, Lu Yuanzhi Yin Jiheng is not so lucky......"

Gu Qingxuan felt that the blood in his whole body rushed straight to his brain, and his body was powerless, like a fallen leaf in the water.

He propped up his upper body, looked at Jiang Hechuan, and smiled bitterly: "You are not as stupid as I imagined, you are more stupid than I thought......"

"Gu Qingxuan!"

He continued: "If I really wanted to kill you, I would never have caused such trouble and showed my feet in front of you......"

"Also, who am I for when I became like this? When Xian Ge fell into the water, I only thought that maybe we couldn't save you...... Then I must keep your only daughter......"

"Qubble!" Jiang Hechuan beat his chest and shouted: "You let people kidnap me, and let people stop me to ransom me in the middle of the song, just to cut off my way of life! You will be injured, you will save the song, it is all to get rid of suspicion...... Look, how great Gu Qingxuan is, for the sake of his brother's daughter, it is so touching, how can such a person be the mastermind behind the murder of his brother? Heh, isn't this the trick you are used to? Every time you can get out of danger, because you are calculating! You do not hesitate to risk your own life, but you will also destroy my mouth!"

"But you're still alive...... Use your brains, man, do you think that if I really want to kill you, will I still give you the possibility of survival? Heluo Sword Sect? Heh, ridiculous! Although I don't have as much money as you, it's okay to pay for a few Jianghu killers myself, right? Use Hong Luotian's people? Ridiculous!"

Jiang Hechuan still stubbornly refused to believe it, staring at Gu Qingxuan with a calm face.

Gu Qingxuan finally couldn't relax, his barely supported upper body was shaky, he fell down, buried his head, pounded his chest and coughed, moaned a few times in pain, gasped and said, "Brother Hechuan...... Have you ever felt it? It's like being slashed with a knife...... Right in my heart......"

"Gu Qingxuan's heart will also ache?" he said with a cold face, thinking that Gu Qingxuan was sensationalizing again.

Gu Qingxuan coughed a few more times and took a long breath: "Yes, Gu Qingxuan is also a human being, and he will have heartache when he coughs......"

He coughed uncontrollably, clutched his chest, and curled up on the couch until he coughed up blood.

Jiang Hechuan indifferently watched the illness torment Gu Qingxuan, he seemed to be able to feel it......

"Dude, I shouldn't be able to survive this...... Maybe I'm really dead to dispel your suspicions...... Gu Qingxuan is also flesh and blood, he can't calculate the position of the knife edge every time, and not everyone is just a ...... to him Chessman...... Oh, retribution is finally here, I can't hold on...... Otherwise, I really want to prove it to you...... I didn't have ......"

As he gradually lost consciousness, Jiang Hechuan punched him in the numb face.

The pain awakened him again.

Jiang Hechuan pulled up his collar and yelled at him who had recovered a little breath: "Gu Qingxuan! You want to kill my mouth, I want to suffocate you! You hurt me once, I punched you, and we were even!"

"You are not allowed to be like this, you will definitely be able to come back to life and continue to plague the world! Do you hear that? Don't you still want to defend your shameless quibbles? Get up for me! Prove it to me!"

Gu Qingxuan lost his last breath, closed his eyes, and a hint of a smile hung on the corner of his pale mouth.

……

It was dawn, and they waited a long time.

Imperial Doctor Tang and Dr. Zhang came again, and they checked Gu Qingxuan's pulse and confirmed that he was temporarily out of danger, and they could finally feel a little at ease.

After changing the dressing and pricking the needle, the two doctors came out of the room and told them that Gu Qingxuan had woken up.

The Gu family and the Jiang family entered together, and they were all overjoyed, but the faces of the two doctors were not very good.

Gu Qingxuan was still weak, lying on the couch, he didn't even dare to cough, and he didn't have the strength.

He glanced at Jiang Hechuan, who walked in at the end, pointed at him weakly and exhaled, "Let him go out...... I don't want to see him......"

Jiang Xiange twisted the kerchief for him to cool down, turned his head to look at his father, and then looked at him and asked suspiciously, "Why?"

He raised his hand, pointed to his somewhat blue cheeks, and replied with some grievance: "He hit me......"

As a result, they all laughed out loud, thinking that Gu Qingxuan was talking nonsense, in their opinion, the bruises on his face were due to injury, and they didn't believe that Jiang Hechuan had done anything to him.

Jiang Hechuan looked at Gu Qingxuan, raised his eyebrows proudly, took the veil in Jiang Xian's singer, and did not cover his forehead but covered his mouth and nose to scare him, Gu Qingxuan exclaimed: "See, Xian Ge, your father is going to murder me......"

Jiang Hechuan moved the veil up, put it on his forehead, cooled him, and sat on the couch to watch him.

Jiang Xiange heard that he could still joke, and her heart was finally a little easier, but she still felt a little strange, she vaguely remembered that when she was rescued and sent to Gu Mansion for treatment, she woke up and found that everyone else was on Gu Qingxuan's side, surrounding him who was dying, only Dr. Zhang was treating her, and Jiang Hechuan was also by her side.

The first question she asked when she woke up was how Gu Qingxuan was, Dr. Zhang said it briefly, and Jiang Hechuan was indifferent and only said, "Ignore him." ”

……

She came back to her senses and listened to Gu Qingxuan and Jiang Hechuan arguing, Jiang Hechuan said: "There are many people who want to murder you, I'm afraid I have to wait in a long line before it is ......my turn."

Gu Qingxuan coughed a few times, and muttered with difficulty: "But you get the moon first near the water, you are so close to me, it is still easy to get it." ”

"It's good that you know. Jiang Hechuan replied.

……

Gu Qingxuan is only a mortal person, he can't anticipate everything first, there are many things that will get out of his control if he is not careful, such as life and death, such as people's hearts. Serious injuries and serious illnesses struck, and Rao was powerless to parry, and the blessings and misfortunes were only in the morning and night.

And what made him feel even more powerless was that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't save the heart of an old friend - Jiang Hechuan carried too much for him, including his fears.

Therefore, Jiang Hechuan is prone to panic and it is difficult to trust him wholeheartedly.

It's because you know it well, it's easier to misunderstand.

Perhaps, they are not indestructible to each other.

That's just how people take advantage of that.

……

Yin family.

During the New Year's Festival, it is still full of plain colors, and everyone is sad.

"Why don't you just kill Gu Qingxuan?"

After listening to them talk about the implementation of the plan, Lu Yuansi asked this.

Indeed, they could have ordered Gu Qingxuan to be dealt with while they were intercepting Jiang Xiange and Gu Qingxuan, and they had already made the illusion of kidnapping anyway.

Yin Chengyuan turned his back, looked at the spirit card in the hall, frowned a little distressedly, and said, "It's not that simple...... According to the plan, we used the people of the Heluo Sword Sect to kidnap Jiang Hechuan and send a letter to Jiang Xiange, we thought that she would definitely ask the Gu family for help, but none of us expected that Gu Qingxuan would go with her in advance, so we lost this opportunity......"

Yin Shaochu looked at Yin Chengyuan's back and knew that he was covering up, Yin Shaochu understood that Yin Chengyuan had no intention of killing Gu Qingxuan......

They wanted to use Jiang Hechuan, who was most closely connected with the Gu family, to deal with the Gu family, and the first step was to make them have a crisis of trust, so that time the Yin Mansion was arraigned, and Yin Chengyuan went to Jiang Hechuan to discuss joining forces, not that he really wanted to persuade Jiang Hechuan to fall to the Yin family, but wanted Jiang Hechuan to worry that he would be suspected by the Gu family, and even kill him.

In fact, they succeeded.

After that, Jiang Hechuan did have worries, and he no longer firmly believed that the Gu family would not attack him.

After that, they arranged this "kidnapping".

Those people are indeed people from the Heluo Sword Sect, such as the fake Heluo Swordsman.

Lu Yuansi discovered the dark side business of the Heluo Sword Sect in the previous investigation, and they turned a few layers of relationships to contact the Heluo Sword Sect, and paid a lot of money to buy the Heluo Sword Sect to do things, because there were several layers in between, and the people of the Heluo Sword Sect would not associate this matter with the Yin family at all, and they did not notice that the person they wanted to tie up was Jiang Hechuan.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Jiang Hechuan will find out the true identity of those "kidnappers", the swordsmen involved in this matter are only a few people in the Heluo Sword Sect, they have not been in contact with the core matters, and they can't think of the relationship between the Heluo Sword Sect and the Gu family or the Jiang family.

The Yin family asked the intermediary contact to give them instructions, kidnap him on the way to the banquet in Jiang Hechuan, make it look like they wanted to take his life, scare him into offering to redeem his life with money, and then pretend to be tempted by his conditions, change their minds and leave his life, and deliberately "exposed" to reveal their identities to him.

A group of swordsmen pretended to be "kidnappers" there, and another group of swordsmen went to the agreed place to ambush and intercept Jiang Xiange, who came to ransom Jiang Hechuan, and made it look like they wanted to put their father and daughter to death.

And Jiang Hechuan, who had experienced this, would naturally associate the Heluo Sword Sect with Gu Qingxuan, thinking that Gu Qingxuan had planned all this and murdered him and Jiang Xiange's lives, just to destroy his alliance and eradicate hidden dangers.

They didn't want Jiang Hechuan to die, they just wanted him and the Gu family to turn against each other.

That's their plan.

They saw it very accurately, their shots were very steady, everything was arranged seamlessly, they controlled every joint, completely took advantage of Jiang Hechuan's suspicious psychology, and successfully killed the Gu family by surprise.

Gu Qingxuan's serious injury was an unexpected gain for them, of course, only if Gu Qingxuan was really dead. Gu Qingxuan's injury to save Jiang Xiange was actually a bit unfavorable for them, because it might shake Jiang Hechuan's hatred for the Gu family.

……

However, Yin Shaochu knew that Yin Chengyuan really didn't want Gu Qingxuan to die.

Because Gu Qingxuan is still useful to Yin Chengyuan.

He wants Gu Qingxuan to not be able to continue to preside over the business reform, then he can replace Gu Qingxuan's position, he will deal with Gu Qingxuan, he will destroy the Gu family, but he can't let Gu Qingxuan die.

Business reform is inseparable from Gu Qingxuan, and Yin Chengyuan is inseparable from Gu Qingxuan.

Yin Chengyuan can't let the business reform die, not only because this is Yin Jiheng's hard work, but also because now he has become the protagonist of the business reform, which is related to his political achievements and official career.

These are all things that Yin Chengyuan will not say explicitly.

……

They concluded that there was already a rift between the two Gu Jiang families, and they only needed to try again to push them again, so that the two families would officially become opposites.

Will they succeed?

Perhaps.

If they knew that Jiang Hechuan had almost suffocated Gu Qingxuan, then they would definitely be happy.

Because they succeeded.
