The military wife is pregnant and the tycoon, who has no heir, spoils her rotten.

Chapter 134 Seeking Death
Xia Zhi stood to the side, her brows furrowing slightly involuntarily, as various thoughts flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.

Suddenly, a bold idea popped into her mind.

Her gaze was fixed on Qiao Sheng, who was not far away. Qiao Sheng's behavior seemed a bit strange to her.

She couldn't help but think to herself that Qiao Sheng's persistence and commotion might be for some ulterior motive, and that motive was likely related to Gu Yun Shen.

Gu Yun Shen might be the target of Qiao Sheng's series of actions?
Xia Zhi quietly observed from the side for a while.

The argument between Qiao Sheng and her family grew increasingly intense, with their voices rising louder and louder.

The commotion attracted the attention of the residents of the surrounding compound, who came out of their homes out of curiosity, ready to watch this exciting spectacle.

As more and more people gathered to watch, the scene became increasingly noisy.

Gu Yun Shen stood aside, watching the chaotic situation, a hint of embarrassment gradually appearing on his face.

With so many people watching, I felt too embarrassed to continue standing idly by and just be a bystander.

He straightened his clothes, walked forward with steady steps, a gentle smile on his face, and tried to persuade her kindly.

"Sheng Sheng, you should go back with your uncle and aunt." Gu Yun Shen's voice was gentle and sincere. "Don't let me ruin the relationship between your family."

If Qiao Sheng returns to Beijing, the Qiao family can still provide him with financial support, given their influence.

Given the Qiao couple's current firm stance, they might actually sever ties with Qiao Sheng in a fit of anger and never have anything to do with her again.

If it really comes to that, what's the point of him still staying with Qiao Sheng?

Qiao Sheng listened to Gu Yun Shen's words, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She held Qiao Haisheng's hand tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, as if letting go would mean losing something important.

Her eyes were full of stubbornness, she bit her lip, and her face was full of resentment.

She couldn't believe that her own parents could be so heartless.

"Mom and Dad, why are you forcing me like this?" Qiao Sheng's voice was choked with sobs, her emotions so agitated she was almost out of control. "If this is really the case, I might as well be dead!"

As she spoke, she secretly observed the expressions of the Qiao couple, clearly seeing the changing emotions in their eyes.

A surge of inexplicable courage welled up within her, and with a determined bite, she turned and ran up the mountain, sobbing uncontrollably.

The task of winning over Gu Yunshen is only missing the wedding; how could she give up so easily, how could she bear to go back like this?

"Oh, this child!"

Qiao Haisheng watched his daughter's retreating figure, his heart filled with helplessness and anxiety.

He stomped his foot, and without thinking twice, he quickly ran after him.

Looking at the chaotic scene before her, Qiao Yun felt a wave of dizziness, her body swayed, and she almost fell to the ground.

She finally managed to steady herself and anxiously followed behind.

"Oh dear, is this child about to do something foolish? Quick, go find Battalion Commander Lu."

Li Qiao looked at the situation, which was completely out of control, and her heart was filled with worry.

She quickly nudged Fan Dong, urging him to hurry up and inform Battalion Commander Lu.

Then, a group of people hurriedly followed behind, chasing after them up the mountain.

As Xia Zhi watched the group of people's flustered backs, her worry grew stronger.

Qiao Sheng is unlikely to do anything really foolish, but there's still Tuanzi on the mountain.

What if one of these people has malicious intentions and wants to harm Tuanzi?
Thinking of this, Xia Zhi felt a pang of anxiety and quickly followed.

And so, a large group of people followed them up the mountain.

Among the crowd, some people looked worried, fearing that someone might actually die, while others were simply there to watch the spectacle.

Qiao Sheng stood alone on the edge of the cliff.

Behind her, a strong wind howled, whipping her hair and clothes with a sharp whistling sound.

Looking back, she saw a bottomless cliff, the dark abyss like a giant beast ready to devour her at any moment.

As Qiao Sheng listened to the whistling wind in her ears, a wave of fear washed over her, and her heart sank.

She subconsciously took a step inside, a hint of panic in her eyes.

"Mom and Dad, I don't want to be separated from you. Why are you forcing me?" Qiao Sheng cried, her voice trembling in the wind, filled with grievance and accusation.

Qiao Haisheng looked nervously at his daughter standing on the edge of the cliff, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

"Zhuzhu, don't be impulsive, please don't be impulsive." His voice trembled slightly with tension, and every word seemed to be uttered with all his strength.

Qiao Yun was so frightened that her legs went weak and she sat down on the ground.

Her eyes were fixed on Qiao Sheng, tears welling up in her eyes.

Qiao Sheng was accusing Qiao Haisheng of using such extreme methods to pressure her. In her emotional state, she didn't notice that the expressions on the faces of the Qiao couple were becoming increasingly strange.

Qiao Haisheng's face turned deathly pale, as white as a sheet of paper. He clutched his chest tightly with one hand, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, with large beads of sweat rolling down his face.

"Zhuzhu, come here, come here, okay? Your parents aren't forcing you, your parents are really doing this for your own good."

Qiao Haisheng was panting heavily, each word sounding extremely difficult, his chest heaving violently.

"Dad, I want to marry Gu Yunshen." Qiao Sheng gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her fingers turning white from the force.

She didn't even dare to turn her head, for fear that she might accidentally fall.

Qiao Haisheng felt a sudden tightness in his chest, and a sharp, throbbing pain spread from his heart, instantly engulfing his entire body.

His bloodshot eyes were fixed on his daughter on the edge of the cliff, his gaze filled with pain and helplessness.

"Zhuzhu, you, you come here first, Dad, please."

Qiao Haisheng managed to utter a few words, his body trembling slightly, his mouth agape as he gasped for air, as if he might collapse at any moment.

Just then, Lu Beiting arrived with his men.

Seeing this scene of someone threatening suicide, his face instantly darkened, and a hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

"Everyone, go back. Too many people isn't good." Lu Beiting's voice was steady and powerful, carrying an irresistible authority.

Seeing this, the group had no choice but to obediently go back.

Lu Beiting took a few steps forward.

As Qiao Sheng saw Lu Beiting approach, alarm bells went off in her head, and she immediately shouted, "Lu Beiting, stop right there! If you move again, I'll jump!"

Lu Beiting glanced at Qiao Haisheng, who looked rather unwell.

"Qiao Sheng, you've abandoned your parents for a man?" Xia Zhi stepped forward and gently helped Qiao Yun up, soothing her heart and comforting her softly.

"Thank you, child." Qiao Yun helped Xia Zhi up slowly.

Only then did she notice that something was wrong with Qiao Haisheng beside her, and her eyes instantly filled with fear and worry.

"Haisheng, Haisheng, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Qiao Yun anxiously supported Qiao Haisheng, patting his chest repeatedly with both hands, her voice trembling with tears.

She looked at Qiao Sheng anxiously, her voice full of pleading, "Zhuzhu, come here quickly, don't upset your dad."

Qiao Sheng's face stiffened, and she suddenly found herself struggling to make a decision.

A flicker of hesitation and struggle crossed her eyes.

But when her gaze fell upon Xia Zhi beside her, her resolve hardened.

Xia Zhi is a doctor; she definitely wouldn't let anything happen to Qiao Haisheng.

"Dad, Mom, please promise me, please promise me I'll come over, okay?" Qiao Sheng's eyes welled up with tears, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Qiao Sheng!" Qiao Yun shouted in despair, her voice filled with anger and despair.

Even now, she's still thinking about that man.

Qiao Haisheng was so angered by Qiao Sheng's words that his body went limp and he swayed as if he were about to collapse.

Lu Beiting reacted quickly and stepped forward to catch him.

Xia Zhi hurriedly stepped forward and carefully examined Qiao Haisheng's condition.

Then, she looked at Qiao Yun with a serious expression, her tone tinged with anxiety. "This is asthma. Do you have any medication with you?"

"Asthma? I didn't have this disease before." Qiao Yun looked bewildered, her heart filled with helplessness and worry.

She never expected that Qiao Haisheng would suddenly develop asthma.

Xia Zhi squatted down with a serious expression. She quickly weighed the pros and cons in her mind, then used her points to exchange for asthma medication and carefully fed it to Qiao Haisheng.

"Beiting, take him to the hospital for a checkup. If it's serious, it could cause sudden cardiac arrest." Xia Zhi's voice was filled with worry and anxiety.

Qiao Yun's mind went blank for a moment, as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

She didn't care about Qiao Sheng anymore and hurriedly followed Lu Beiting down the mountain.

Xu Rufeng and Fan Kun leaned against the side, quietly watching everything.

Qiao Sheng was still in shock from what had just happened, her eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.

Xu Rufeng looked at Qiao Sheng with disdain and said coldly, "Miss, if you stand there for too long, a strong wind might blow you off."

Qiao Sheng came to her senses, and a strong sense of regret and self-blame welled up in her heart.

She quickly ran down the mountain, and after she came to her senses, she deeply regretted her impulsive behavior.

On the way down the mountain, Qiao Haisheng was in a daze, his consciousness fluctuating between clarity and blurriness. He only felt as if he had walked this road before, for a very, very long time.

Until the tombstone flashed before his eyes, the names on it were exceptionally clear—Martyr Xia Zhendong, Martyr Su Yuhe.

After a series of stressful examinations at the hospital, Xia Zhi emerged exhausted. Qiao Yun rushed forward, tightly grasping her hand, her eyes filled with expectation and worry.

"Dr. Xia, how is she?" Qiao Yun's voice trembled slightly.

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, a comforting smile appearing on her face. "The asthma caused by lung disease was showing signs of worsening, but thankfully it was discovered in time."

"Thank you, thank you." Qiao Yun held her hand, her eyes filled with tears of gratitude.

Her gaze couldn't help but drift towards Xia Zhi's back, her heart filled with concern for Qiao Haisheng, who was still in the hospital room.

Xia Zhi comforted her, "He's still unconscious, but he should wake up within half an hour. Don't worry."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Qiao, my sister-in-law is a miracle doctor. She cured Old Master Shen's illness," Zhang Yi said with a smile, his face beaming with pride.

Hearing this, Qiao Yun finally felt relieved.

"May I ask how Mrs. Qiao and Mr. Qiao met?" Lu Beiting suddenly asked, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Qiao Yun was stunned for a moment, then a girlish shyness appeared on her face. "I picked him up more than ten years ago. Hai Sheng saved me several times and protected me in every way. Later, we fell in love and got married."

Picked it up?

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Beiting's eyes. Just as he was about to ask something more, Xia Zhi tugged at him and then gently shook her head.

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Beiting pulled her into his arms, his eyes full of doting affection.

Looking at the two of them in love, Qiao Yun couldn't help but think of the sweet times she and Qiao Haisheng had when they were deeply in love. "Dr. Xia and Battalion Commander Lu look like a match made in heaven."

"Thank you." Xia Zhi smiled shyly.

After Qiao Yun finished speaking, she didn't say anything more and sat quietly to the side, waiting for Qiao Haisheng to wake up.

"Mom, how is Dad?" Qiao Sheng walked over worriedly. Seeing her pale face, she immediately looked at Xia Zhi.

"Xia Zhi, aren't you a doctor? Why didn't you take immediate first aid measures?" Qiao Sheng's tone was tinged with reproach and dissatisfaction.

Xia Zhi rolled her eyes speechlessly, then leaned against Lu Beiting, too lazy to pay attention to Qiao Sheng.

"Enough, Qiao Sheng, what right do you have to blame Dr. Xia? If you hadn't been so willful and reckless, would your father be in the hospital right now? Your father already told you to come over first, and you still provoked him." Qiao Yun said with tears in her eyes, then took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Qiao Sheng, we won't interfere anymore since you like Gu Yunshen." Qiao Yun's voice carried a hint of helplessness and disappointment.

Qiao Sheng felt the surprise came too suddenly. Before she could speak, Qiao Yun's next words made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

“But from today onwards, we no longer have you as our daughter.” Qiao Yun’s voice was calm, but it carried an irresistible resolve.

After saying that, Qiao Yun didn't want to look at Qiao Sheng again. For a man she had only known for a few months, she disregarded the comfort of her own parents.

She would rather not have it.

If it weren't for Battalion Commander Lu and Dr. Ke Xia, Hai Sheng would probably have really died on the mountain.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yun couldn't help but tremble with fear. She had known Qiao Haisheng for more than ten years.

He has always been devoted to her, and she cannot imagine what the next few decades would be like without him.

Qiao Sheng looked at Qiao Yun, who had closed her eyes and spoke with a resolute tone, and knew that she was really angry.

She immediately knelt on the ground, clutching her mother's trouser leg, "Mom, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please don't be angry."

Qiao Yun opened her bloodshot eyes and looked at Qiao Sheng on the ground with deep sorrow.

"You didn't see how terrified your father and I were when we were on the mountain, all you wanted to do was threaten to kill ourselves. You didn't see at all."

Even at the very end, when your father's condition deteriorated, you were still pressuring us.
