Chapter Twenty-Five

  After Gu Jing finished drinking the porridge, her condition improved a lot. Under Qian Tong's inquiry, she told what had happened that day.

  Originally, Gu Feng had agreed to meet her under certain conditions, but instead he put something in her water, causing her to lose consciousness. What happened after that she didn't know, and when she came to, she was here.

  "Why are you so unguarded towards your brother?" Xiang Qiong asked.

  "Even if he is like that, he is still my brother, I don't want to suspect him."

  "How do you plan to deal with this matter?" asked Xiang Qiong.

  "I want to hold a press conference and clarify these things, which may harm the stock price of Gu's company, but there is no way not to do so." Business is still on his mind.

  "I think you should worry about more than just these things, Miss Gu." Si Luochen said calmly.

  Gu Jing naturally knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. She stared at Si Luo Chen, who was standing there, her expression somewhat cold and detached, waiting for his next words.

  "You were rescued from your brother, he must have known. You called a reporter, but also consider who you called, it might be someone arranged by your brother." Leaning against the table, pausing for a moment before continuing: "Your disappearance has already been made public, your brother can take advantage of this opportunity to say that you were heartbroken over Mr. Gu's departure and ran away from home, or use other reasons to say that you committed suicide, these are all excuses that will affect the stock market."

  She sat there with her eyebrows furrowed and her head tilted, these were what she worried about most.

  "There's only one way...". He said, his eyes falling on Qian Tong: "Qian Tong is Miss Gu's attending physician. Only if she comes forward to prove that they had communication last night or were supposed to meet today can many things be resolved easily. However... there will be danger."

  "So naturally, my brother will know that it was Qian Tong who rescued me, and he'll harm her." Gu Qing continued.

  "Yes." Si Luo Chen said coldly.

  Wang Shaokuo on the side couldn't understand Si Luochen's intention. There were many ways to solve this, although this proposal wasn't bad, but it would put Xiang Qian Tong in a dangerous position.

  How can she bear to part with it!?!

  What are you thinking about now? Wang Shaokuo was getting more and more puzzled by Si Luochen.

  Gu Qing remained silent when Si Luo Chen said his last words. He looked down, not daring to look directly at Qian Tong, but wanting to say something.

  "Lu Chen's method is good, I'll just call the clinic to confirm my itinerary and that's it." Xiang Qian Tong had just taken out her phone when Gu Qing grabbed it from her: "What are you doing? If my brother finds out it was you who saved me, he'll kill you."

  To Qian Tong: "......"

  The atmosphere froze with these words.

  "You won't be in trouble as long as Luo is here, and if your problem isn't solved, the burden I carry won't decrease either. So... it's all the same." With a gentle pat on Gu Qing's hand to comfort her, she turned to look at Si Luochen, a relieved smile hanging from the corner of her mouth, saying: "To put oneself in a desperate situation and then be reborn, is that your goal, Luochen?"

  Xià luò chén responded with a similar smile, their eyes locked in a gaze, it's good that this world has you who understand me.

  Wang Shaokai: "......"

  Gu Qing: "......"

  Xiang Qian Tong turned on her mobile phone and found several calls from the clinic, as well as a message from Anna. She called back to explain the situation and asked Anna to arrange for reporters to come to the clinic, the more the better.

  Anna naturally knew about Gu's strength and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, but failing to explain clearly would not only lose face in front of Qian Tong, but also damage the reputation of the clinic.

  The time is set at 8 o'clock in the evening.

  After agreeing, Si Luo Chen said something in a low voice to Wang Shao Ke, who nodded and turned around to leave and make preparations.

  After arranging everything, Si Luo Chen turned around and left. Just as he walked out the door, he was pulled back: "Luo Chen." It was Xiang Qian Tong.

  Turning around, he looked at Xiang Qian Tong expressionlessly: "What's wrong?"

  Originally wanted to explain or say a lot of things, but seeing her calm and serene appearance, Qian Tong suddenly felt relieved. She just paused for a moment, shook her head lightly: "Nothing, thanks."

  No need for explanations between us, she understands and so do I.

  "It's alright, Miss Gu still needs you for now. You go keep her company first, I'll go help Shaokui." As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile, reassuring him.

  Nodded at Qian Tong.

  Watching the other person turn around and return to the room, Si Luo Chen put away his smile, turned around with a serious face and left.

  A black car stopped in front of a luxurious villa, the driver got out and opened the door, Shen Yue walked out from inside.

  Staring at the house in front of him, expressionless.

  "Come on, sister, let's go in, don't keep the boss waiting." He said with a smile to the man who got off the car.

  Shen Yue didn't respond to her and walked straight into another courtyard, where the servants inside were all respectful to Shen Yue, but their eyes showed a hint of fear.

  A room with a pair of wooden doors on the top floor of the villa, two servants had just walked out and saw Shen Lue standing at the door, immediately opening the door to give way.

  Shen Yue stood at the door for a moment before walking in.

  A man with a pale complexion, seemingly unexposed to sunlight for years, lay on the luxurious bed. As the door opened, he gazed straight at her with his eyes open and a smile seeping from the corners of his mouth.

  "Softly spoken: 'Never mind, you're here.'"

  "How is your body?" Shen Yue said lightly.

  The man looked around, shook his head slightly, and smiled: "Can't move yet, but my brother has already told me. You're willing to stay by my side, I'm happy."

  Shen stood upright at the bedside, staring expressionlessly at the man in front of her.

  "Come closer, okay? I want to hold you." The man's voice was as gentle as water.

  Shen Lue, who had been expressionless all along, sat on the edge of the bed and picked him up, resting the man's chin on his shoulder. His voice was very calm: "Xu Sen, I'm a bit tired, you rest well, I'll come see you again tomorrow." It was just an instant hug, and Shen Lue put Xu Sen back on the pillow.

  "You don't want me to wake up, do you?" Xu Sen's words made Shen Lü stop in his tracks, but his expression didn't reveal any ripples.

  "I'm alive... I never had any hope to begin with, because my life was never mine. This name was given by the big boss, and whatever he tells me to do, I'll naturally do." The voice was extremely cold, making one feel a sense of unfamiliarity.

  "So, my brother lets you marry a cripple like me and you agreed? You weren't like this before, you..."

  Shen Lue's face sank and he fell silent.

  "Then let your brother kill you?" Xusen frowned and said.

  "Same here."

  Softly spoken three words, no hesitation.

  Xu Sen looked at this face and couldn't see any fear, what kind of woman was she?

  Never seen such a woman, knowing her for so many years, Shen Yue had never smiled at him before, not even with condescension.

  Xu Sen lowered his head and shook his shoulders, as if laughing silently, but after a while, he burst out laughing without any restraint.

  "Alright, very well. I don't know what happened over the past few years that you would be so resigned to your fate, but remember, you are the woman I have my eyes on, and you can only belong to me."

  She looked at him expressionlessly and didn't respond. She straightened up and said coldly, "Take a rest, see you tomorrow."

  Watching the figure walk away, Xu Sen's eyebrows drooped, and he couldn't help but want to grab hold of this woman and tear off her icy expression.

  In a moment, another man entered the house, wearing a straight black suit, tall and standing in front of Xu Sen with his waist bent.

  "K, recently, who have you been in contact with?"

  "Tell the boss, Lixia has been helping the big boss manage the rehabilitation center recently, and there is no one who has had close contact with her."

  "Is anyone there?" Although the tone was questioning, Huxen knew Shen Lue's character well enough to be certain that she really didn't like to interact with people.

  "Back to the boss, yes. Apart from continuing to help the big boss supervise Miss Si of the Ci family, I haven't been in contact with anyone else." Honestly speaking.

  The atmosphere in the room fell silent for a moment: "So many years have passed, and yet brother is still so concerned about the people of the Si family. You go down now, and from now on, pay attention to every move, and report back to me at all times."

  K nodded: "I know, boss." Then turned around and left.

  Eight o'clock.

  At a press conference held at Wall Street Clinic, Gu Quan and others did not arrive on time, which puzzled many reporters.

  Anxious Anna dialed Chi Tong's phone number, but it was unreachable, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward silence.
