Only after her death did I realize that she was the white moonlight of a billionaire CEO.

Chapter 129 Jealousy, Incompetent Doctors Cause Harm

Li Xi blushed slightly and quickly changed the subject: "So, do you want to give it a try or not?"

"...good."

There were three stools, a bed, and a small table in the room.

Gu Huaizhou walked to the leftmost stool and sat down. He said, "I was tied to this chair back then. My parents were next to me, and on the bed... was my brother."

Gu Huaizhou was about to sit down when Li Xi called out to him, "Wait a minute."

Li Xi said, "You were only 15 years old then, and your height hadn't fully developed yet. Your field of vision now is quite different from when you were 15. I think you should squat down and simulate your sitting height when you were 15."

Upon hearing this, Gu Huaizhou suddenly looked up at Li Xi.

Li Xi was puzzled by his gaze. She touched her nose and asked Gu Huaizhou, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"...You're so smart."

Gu Huaizhou removed the chair and, mimicking the height of a 15-year-old, half-squatted on the ground.

He said, "Over the years, I have often sat on this stool to meditate on the past, trying to find memories and clues, but I have overlooked the changes in myself."

But Li Xi noticed this subtle change immediately.

Therefore, it was no coincidence that Li Xi was able to find him 12 years ago.

It was her intelligence that saved them both.

Li Xi smiled knowingly, "Because you're too close to the situation to see clearly."

Seeing that Gu Huaizhou was squatting down, Li Xi walked to the operating table.

Gu Huaizhou's three closest relatives were all executed in bed, so the perpetrator must have frequently been standing by the bedside carrying out the crimes.

Li Xi felt uneasy, but she still mustered up her courage and walked towards the bed.

“Next, I will try my best to imitate the killer’s appearance.” Li Xi smiled reassuringly at Gu Huaizhou and said gently, “Gu Huaizhou, I am Li Xi, don’t be afraid.”

After saying that, Li Xi quickly took off her light blue down jacket, revealing a black evening dress hidden underneath.

She turned the down jacket inside out, revealing the white lining, then put it on inside out and let her long black hair down.

This basically matches Gu Huaizhou's impression of that perverted female assassin.

Then Li Xi struck a cutting motion...

Li Xi is a very good imitator. When she imagines herself as a psychopathic killer, her aura becomes eerie and sinister.

Although Li Xi was not holding any criminal tools, the way she moved gave people the illusion that she was cutting flesh.

Gu Huaizhou stared intently at Li Xi by the bedside, his heart suddenly clenching as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

In a daze, Gu Huaizhou seemed to see the person he feared most deep in his memory...

And that person was killing his brother.

A piercing roar erupted from Gu Huaizhou's throat: "Brother!"

Li Xi's hand trembled, and her body shook as well.

She glanced sideways at Gu Huaizhou.

At this moment, Gu Huaizhou's face was covered in tears, and the white figure was reflected in his black pupils...

He was completely immersed in the illusion that Li Xi had created for him.

Li Xi knew that she was playing the role of a psychopathic killer correctly.

She took a deep breath, turned to face Gu Huaizhou, and deliberately raised her red lips in a wicked way, revealing a cold, calm, and somewhat insane smile.

For some reason, Li Xi felt that this was how that person should smile.

Sure enough, the moment Li Xi smiled, Gu Huaizhou went completely mad.

He crouched on the ground, screaming frantically and in despair, "Sister Cheng! Don't kill my brother!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xi's beautiful eyes widened.

Sister Cheng?

After finishing her imitation, Li Xi turned and walked up to Gu Huaizhou, extending her left hand towards him. "Gu Huaizhou, I am Li Xi. What you just saw was all fake."

Gu Huaizhou's blurry vision slowly cleared.

Staring at the two moles on Li Xi's left ring finger, Gu Huaizhou gradually pulled himself out of his chaotic thoughts.

He placed his hand weakly in Li Xi's palm.

At this moment, Gu Huaizhou was already drenched in sweat, and his handsome face with its deep features showed paleness and fragility.

This was a side of Gu Huaizhou that Li Xi had never seen before.

Li Xi gently pulled Gu Huaizhou into her arms and comforted her in a soft but firm voice: "Gu Huaizhou, it's all an illusion, it's fake."

Gu Huaizhou gradually calmed down.

Once Gu Huaizhou had completely calmed down, Li Xi finally released him.

She asked Gu Huaizhou, "Do you remember what you just said?"

Gu Huaizhou said with some doubt, "Did I call out someone's name? But I can't remember what that person's name was at all."

“Sister Cheng,” Li Xi said, “you just called her by the name ‘Sister Cheng’.”

Sister Cheng?

Gu Huaizhou was pondering who this Sister Cheng really was.

Seeing that Gu Huaizhou had no recollection of 'Sister Cheng', Li Xi pondered and said, "You were completely immersed in your past memories just now. The sentence you blurted out must have been something you said back then."

"So, you should have known someone called 'Sister Cheng' when you were little."

But Gu Huaizhou forgot.

I've completely forgotten about it.

"Gu Huaizhou, were your memories hypnotized like mine?" Li Xi couldn't think of any other possibility.

Gu Huaizhou nodded as expected. "That's right. Back then, I was on the verge of death, and hypnosis was the only way to save my life."

Upon hearing this, Li Xi said, "The psychologist who hypnotized you should have heard you mention 'Sister Cheng'. Perhaps he knows more clues about Sister Cheng. You can go and ask him."

“...You’re right.” Gu Huaizhou kept this in mind before saying to Li Xi, “The way you stood by the bed just now really looked just like the person in my nightmare.”

"The only difference is that the killer in the nightmare was taller than you."

Li Xi was somewhat surprised. She said, "I'm 172 cm tall, which is considered tall. Is the other person even taller than me?"

How tall would that be?

"About how much higher?" Li Xi pressed.

Gu Huaizhou frowned and said hesitantly, "About seven or eight centimeters."

"That's really quite tall." But then he thought, the other person must be a strongman to have killed Gu Huaizhou's parents and brother.

"Tell Officer Zhou about the new clue: the other person is taller than me, so his height should be around 1.8 meters."

There probably aren't many middle-aged women who are around 1.8 meters tall, strong, and skilled in anatomy.

"Ah."

Gu Huaizhou then noticed that Li Xi's expression was also not very good.

She was clearly scared too, yet she was willing to suppress her fear and help him find clues, which deeply moved Gu Huaizhou.

He couldn't help but pull Li Xi into his arms.

Noticing that Li Xi was trying to push him away, Gu Huaizhou quickly feigned innocence: "Xi Xi, my head hurts..."

Having witnessed Gu Huaizhou's emotional breakdown earlier, Li Xi, without suspecting anything amiss, stopped struggling.

...

Two minutes later, Li Xi stepped on Gu Huaizhou's leather shoes and said, "Are you addicted to hugging him?"

Gu Huaizhou grimaced in pain.

He reluctantly let go of Li Xi.

"Let's go, the banquet will start if we dawdle any longer."

Seeing Li Xi turn and walk away, he quickly and silently followed after her.

Upon returning to the Gu family manor, Gu Huaizhou went straight to the dressing room to change clothes without even taking a break.

Li Xi stood outside the dressing room and chatted with him.

Staring at the tall, blurry figure through the frosted glass, Li Xi asked him, "Is Xie Jiaoyue at the Gu family manor?"

Gu Huaizhou raised his thin lips slightly, and instead of answering, asked, "Why do you feel like she's at the Gu family manor?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xi was certain that Xie Jiaoyue was indeed hiding in the Gu family manor.

"Because she takes herself too seriously, she has nowhere to run. I guess she will definitely take a desperate gamble and come to the Gu family to repay their kindness."

"After all, she's not very bright. In her mind, she'll think that no matter whether it was me or her who saved you back then, it was the Xie family who were behind it all."

"So, she still held onto a sliver of hope that you would repay the Xie family."

“...You really know her.” Gu Huaizhou fastened his wristwatch strap, picked up his tie, and walked out of the dressing room.

He handed the tie to Li Xi, saying, "If you're willing to tie my tie, I'll take you to catch her."

Arrest her?

Li Xi was very tempted.

She grabbed Gu Huaizhou's left hand and looked at the time on his wristwatch, saying with some regret, "It's past seven o'clock, and the banquet starts at eight. There's no time to catch her."

"It's alright, the banquet ends at ten o'clock, we can go last."

"...Then let's go and catch her now!"

"Help me tie my tie first."

"Go, go, go!"

Gu Huaizhou stared intently at Li Xi's movements, noticing that she seemed quite familiar with tying her tie. He realized something, and a shadow fell over his eyes.

"...You seem very familiar with tying ties. Have you helped others tie them before?" Gu Huaizhou's tone was calm.

But upon closer inspection, it has a sour taste.

Without hesitation, Li Xi replied, "Of course."

Gu Huaizhou's face turned sour.

He suddenly pulled the silk tie from Li Xi's fingertips, turned around and walked back to the dressing room, saying sullenly, "I'll do it myself."

Li Xi shrugged and stood outside the door, saying, "When my father was alive, I always tied his tie for him."

"..."

Gu Huaizhou quickly untied his almost-formed tie knot, strode back to Li Xi, and bowed his head in reconciliation: "Help me re-tie it?"

Li Xi reached out, hooked a corner of the tie, tugged at it, and then slapped the tie onto Gu Huaizhou's face.

"Dream on with your dreams."

"If you're giving me attitude, tie it yourself."

Li Xi turned around and went to the study outside.

Gu Huaizhou looked helpless.

He returned to the full-length mirror, adjusting his tie knot while recalling what had just happened.

Gu Huaizhou suddenly laughed.

So it turns out he can be jealous.

Gu Huaizhou suddenly picked up his phone and sent Ying Chengfeng a text message: 【Quack doctor.】
