My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 204 - 202 - Martyrdom in Love

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Zhu Feng sneered. "If I let go of Xu Lingxiu, you'll definitely order an attack on me, and no matter how capable I am, I can't defeat so many people."

"That won't happen." Lu Hao assured, patting his chest. "I give you my word of honor, I absolutely won't do such a thing..."

"Word of honor?" Zhu Feng scoffed. "Do you even have any honor?"

"You..."

"Cut the crap! If you want me to spare Xu Lingxiu, that's fine, but you must kill yourself right now. As long as you commit suicide, I will let her go immediately."

"You want me to kill myself?" Lu Hao's eyes suddenly widened.

Zhu Feng nodded. "Yes, suicide!"

"You hate me that much?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"You stole the woman I love the most. I wish I could eat your flesh and drink your blood!"

"Lu Hao, don't listen to him, please don't do anything stupid for me." Xu Lingxiu shouted loudly.

"Shut your mouth!" Zhu Feng raised his hand and slapped Xu Lingxiu across the face, saying with a ferocious expression, "Even now, you're still defending that pretty boy? Do you like him that much?"

"Yes, I like him!" Xu Lingxiu exclaimed loudly. "From the beginning to the end, I have never forgotten him. I've set my heart on him for this lifetime." Then, Xu Lingxiu softened her tone, "Zhu Feng, I am sorry, truly sorry! Since I met you, you have always taken care of me, protected me, and I am truly grateful... but... I just don't have feelings for you..."

"Feelings! Bullshit feelings!" Zhu Feng roared, "What are feelings worth! I've been devoted to you, willing to do anything for you. I thought you would accept me... but I never expected you would return to that bastard's arms, how could you be so shameless!"

Xu Lingxiu lowered her head, her face filled with sorrow: "If scolding me makes you feel better, then go ahead and scold or hit me." Xu Lingxiu indeed felt guilty towards Zhu Feng.

"You think I wouldn't dare hit you?" Zhu Feng raised his hand to strike Xu Lingxiu on the face.

"Swoosh!"

A pebble flew from a distance at an incredible speed.

"Bang!"

The pebble hit Zhu Feng's wrist accurately, "Ah!" Zhu Feng's hand loosened, and the dagger fell to the ground.

"Swoosh!"

Another pebble flew from afar, hitting Zhu Feng's chest squarely, and then... Zhu Feng fell to the ground clutching his chest, pale-faced, in pain, trembling uncontrollably.

Two small pebbles subdued the extremely arrogant Zhu Feng.

Who threw the pebbles? Of course, it was Gao Fei!

"Capture him!" Lu Hao shouted. "Dare to take my woman and threaten me, insult me! Today I will thoroughly teach you a lesson, let you see how formidable I am!"

"Whoosh..."

A group of people rushed over and pinned Zhu Feng to the ground.

Zhu Feng lifted his head, his bloodshot eyes staring intently at Xu Lingxiu: "Tell me, did you ever like me at all..."

Xu Lingxiu bit her lower lip with her teeth, full of guilt: "I don't want to lie to you... I've always seen you as a brother..."

"Heh heh..." Zhu Feng laughed, the laughter growing louder. "I'm such a fool! I'm the biggest damn fool in the world! Stupid beyond belief, stupid enough to burst!" With these words, Zhu Feng's eyes revealed a fierce gleam: "If I can't have it, neither can anyone else!"

"What are you going to do?" Xu Lingxiu's face changed.

"Xu Lingxiu! I'll make you regret this for the rest of your life! Puh..." Suddenly, Zhu Feng spat out a mouthful of blood: "Make you regret for the rest of your life!!! Puh... puh..." As Zhu Feng screamed, he spat blood, and in the blink of an eye, he had spit out more than a dozen mouthfuls. His complexion turned ghostly pale, his breath growing weaker: "Xu Lingxiu...

I hate you..." After these six words, Zhu Feng lay motionless on the ground.

A bodyguard felt Zhu Feng's breath and then checked his chest before looking up at Lu Hao: "He's dead."

Dead?

Lu Hao was completely stunned.

Xu Lingxiu was also stunned...

"Sigh..." Gao Fei stepped out from the shadows and sighed softly, "This guy was actually quite infatuated, but what a shame... The flower yearns, but the water flows indifferent, his passion wasted in the wrong place."

"How could this happen..." Xu Lingxiu's eyes reddened, tears flowing uncontrollably: "I caused your death... It's my fault..." At that moment, Xu Lingxiu was filled with remorse.

"Try to think positively." Lu Hao patted Xu Lingxiu's shoulder, comforting her: "He committed suicide to make you feel guilty and blame yourself, to let you live in the shadow for a lifetime, but you mustn't fall for it."

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me... he wouldn't have died... Ah..." Xu Lingxiu's body swayed, and then she fell toward the ground.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Hao's reflexes were quick as he hastily caught Xu Lingxiu, "Wake up, don't scare me... Brother Fei, come over quickly and take a look, what's happened to her?"

Gao Fei hurried over and after one glance at the unconscious Xu Lingxiu, his brow immediately furrowed, "Something's fishy."

"What's fishy?"

Gao Fei squatted down, prying open Xu Lingxiu's eyelids to look, then he took her wrist in his hand, "Her pulse is very erratic... Strange indeed, very strange..."

"What exactly is going on?"

"Xu Lingxiu has been set up," said Gao Fei, "I'm guessing it was Zhu Feng's doing."

"Zhu Feng?" Lu Hao was startled.

"Before Zhu Feng died, he said something: He wanted Xu Lingxiu to regret for a lifetime! At first, I thought Zhu Feng was just speaking out of anger, or he was cursing Xu Lingxiu... But now it seems... things are not so simple," Gao Fei said gravely.

"Brother Fei, you should have a way to treat Xu Lingxiu, right?" Lu Hao asked, filled with hope, "You're a miracle healer after all!"

"I'll try," Gao Fei wasn't very confident. Mainly because Xu Lingxiu's condition was too bizarre, after checking for so long, Gao Fei still couldn't figure out what was going on, He placed his hand on the top of Xu Lingxiu's head and began to slowly transfer his concentrated and robust True Qi into her body.

True Qi is the transformed substance of Spiritual Energy, with incredible miraculous effects!

"Not good!"

Gao Fei's face changed, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

"Pfft..." Xu Lingxiu's body trembled, and then she spat out a mouthful of blood, black blood. After spitting out this blood, Xu Lingxiu's breath became even weaker, as if she could lose her life at any moment.

"How could this be?" Lu Hao jumped with fright.

Gao Fei's expression turned terribly grim, "Xu Lingxiu must have fallen victim to Gu Art, and it's a highly skilled one at that, not even I can awaken her."

"Gu Art? Zhu Feng's work? Damn it, that Zhu Feng really has a vicious heart!" Lu Hao cursed loudly, "He kept saying he liked Xu Lingxiu, claiming he would do anything for her, then he turned around and set her up, using such despicable means, truly shameless!" Lu Hao looked tensely at Gao Fei, "What do we do now? Xu Lingxiu won't be in danger, will she?"

"She won't be in immediate danger, but I can't say for sure if it's for a long time."

"So, what do we do?"

"In ancient times, Gu Art was called Sorcery. There are many kinds, unpredictable to defend against.

To cure Xu Lingxiu, we must figure out exactly which type of Gu Art she has fallen victim to," Gao Fei pondered, "Only when we know the type of Gu Art can we prescribe the right antidote." At this, he paused, "Zhu Feng couldn't have known Gu Art since birth, he must have had a master who taught him, and if we find Zhu Feng's master, then we can treat Xu Lingxiu." Gao Fei's analysis was very logical.

"Where do we find Zhu Feng's master?"

"Zhu Feng was a Miaojiang man; his master should be from Miaojiang too!"

"Miaojiang?"

"Yes! Miaojiang!" Gao Fei nodded, "Miaojiang is the birthplace of Gu Art, which was very renowned in ancient times."

"Alright! To Miaojiang!" Lu Hao clenched his fist tightly, "If Zhu Feng's master is sensible and willingly cures Xu Lingxiu, I might not be too hard on him. Otherwise, if Zhu Feng's master dares to play tricks with me, I'll kill him!" Xu Lingxiu had fallen victim to Gu Art, her life hanging by a thread, and Lu Hao was extremely frustrated.

"There's no time to waste, let's set off right now," said Gao Fei. "Arrange a car and take Xu Lingxiu with us."

...

Ten minutes later.

A large off-road vehicle left the estate.

Three people were seated inside: Gao Fei, Lu Hao, and the unconscious Xu Lingxiu.

"Damn that Zhu Feng! How could he be so cruel?" Lu Hao cursed while driving, "I curse him to descend to the eighteenth level of hell after death and never ascend!"

"You've been cursing for an hour now, hasn't your resentment dissipated yet?" Gao Fei quirked his lips.

"Even if I cursed for three days and nights, my resentment wouldn't fade," Lu Hao huffed, "Zhu Feng is just dead if he were still alive, I would make sure to torture him mercilessly! Making him wish for death!"

"Lu Hao, have you thought about this, with today's commotion being so big, Feng Yan will definitely find out. What do you think... her reaction will be?" Gao Fei casually dropped a sentence that made Lu Hao's face change instantly.

"Uh... That can't be..." Lu Hao's mouth twitched, "I've already warned those bodyguards not to go out and gossip..."

"There are no secrets that time doesn't reveal," Gao Fei chuckled, "Even if it can be hidden for a while, it can't be hidden forever; Feng Yan will know sooner or later."

"Brother Fei, stop provoking me," Lu Hao said with a wry smile, "With Xu Lingxiu's situation already causing me such a headache, adding the hot-tempered Feng Yan... I'm really going to go insane..."

"This is your own doing," Gao Fei sniffed, "It's your own fault for getting involved with Xu Lingxiu! Now you find it troublesome, what were you doing before?"

"If I could do it all over again, I definitely wouldn't have provoked Xu Lingxiu," Lu Hao sighed, "And I would have kept my distance from Feng Yan! I would just go become a monk, enter the monastic life and be free from all worries."
