Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Already Swore a Poisonous Oath to Each Other Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Already Swore a Poisonous Oath to Each Other Then, the squeezing around the wound continued.
Gradually, the black blood became less and lighter…
Finally, when fresh red blood surged out, the child lying on the ground seemed like a person briefly coming back to life, making gurgling sounds in their throat and their chest slightly heaving…
Then, they slowly opened their eyes.
They seemed a bit unclear about what was happening, their eyes filled with confusion.
Thus, the Daxi Clan elder, who had been holding their breath, looked at Gu Qiaoqiao with excitement as if seeing a lifesaving heavenly god.
Then, he bowed deeply to Gu Qiaoqiao, performing the most solemn salute of the Daxi Clan.
This grandson was his only grandson.
His only son had been bitten by a venomous snake a few years ago and had passed away, leaving behind just this child, his only hope.
If something had happened, how could he face his deceased son?
Gu Qiaoqiao screwed the cap back on the medicine bottle.
Then she placed it back in her bag.
Seeing the drastically different attitude of the Daxi Clan elder, Gu Qiaoqiao gave a slight smile, “It’s also the child’s great fortune that his life was not meant to end here. I just happened to bring the medicine, otherwise, even an immortal could have done nothing…”
With things having reached this point, the elder could no longer bear to detain the Gu Family’s vehicles and people, his conscience couldn’t take it.
He gritted his teeth and pointed to a bush, “Your cars, gemstones, and people are all there. I haven’t touched anything. You saved my grandson, yet I did something wrong to the Gu Family. Now, drive your cars away.”
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the elder and suddenly asked, “Old man, I know you are a person of integrity. You wouldn’t detain the Gu Family’s gemstone car for no reason. Who told you to do this? Can you tell me?”
A hesitation flashed through the old man’s eyes, and at last, he gritted his teeth and said, “Child, I’m sorry, you could take my life, but I owe that person a favor and have sworn an oath to them, so I can’t tell.”
For such a faithful person, they would strictly adhere to their oaths.
Yet, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t want to let this opportunity slip, “Elder, I won’t make it difficult for you, can you hint at it indirectly?”
Gu Cheng and Zhang Yi both intently stared at the elder.
The old man pondered for a long time before finally making up his mind and said, “Alright, I’ll tell you, the one who instructed me is also the owner of the Jade Mine…”
There was no need to say more.
Everyone present understood.
This was definitely done by Gu Cheng and Ning Wanru.
Because they were the only ones who could own shares in the Jade Mine.
They were also members of the Gu Family, so calling them owners of the Jade Mine wasn’t an exaggeration.
Moreover, Gu Cheng often visited this area in previous years.
This was exactly what everyone had speculated.
So no one was surprised.
However, getting the old man to testify was impossible.
Because the elder of the Daxi Clan owed Ning Wanru and her group a favor.
To have told them this much was already quite difficult.
If it hadn’t been for this incident today, these people wouldn’t have been able to come here.
Uncle Gu and others no longer hesitated.
They had stayed in this place for too long. There might not be any physical problems, but the mental torture was significant, and their families were also anxiously waiting for them to return.
So, they didn’t continue speaking to the elder.
Uncle Gu, along with four bodyguards, came in again, and a young man guarding the valley opened the door of a wooden house.
