From school uniform to wedding dress, but I don't want to marry you anymore

Chapter 670 Bringing Gu Sili to His Clarity

The carriage was filled with a faint scent of perfume.

Fan Qianqian leaned back in the leather seat, casually twirling her hair with her fingers.

Jiang Mo sat next to her, leaning slightly forward, his eyes never leaving her face.

How long will the effects of the virus last?

Fan Qianqian asked, her voice sounding particularly soft in the enclosed space.

"In theory, it is permanent."

Jiang Mo replied, her voice trembling with infatuation, "Is there anything I can do for you? Just say the word."

"So you're willing to do anything?"

Fan Qianqian smiled, and that smile reflected in Jiang Mo's eyes, sending shivers down his spine. "Even if it ruins your career, puts you in jail, or even puts your life in danger!"

Jiang Mo answered without hesitation: "I'll do it. I'll do anything."

"Only loyal to me?"

"I will only be loyal to you."

"Um……"

Fan Qianqian reached out and gently traced her fingertips across his cheek, the spot where she had just hit him. "Good boy."

Jiang Mo trembled, his eyes becoming even more unfocused, like a devout believer receiving a divine touch.

Outside the car window, the night was as thick as ink.

The city's neon lights reflected on the car windows, dazzling and colorful, but they couldn't penetrate the small space inside the car, shrouded in virus and desire.

Meanwhile, in the laboratory on the third floor of the research institute, Ge Jing had secretly prepared a half-finished antidote, which was quietly placed in a constant temperature incubator.

Like a seed quietly sprouting in the darkness.

……

In the ward.

A strong smell of disinfectant enveloped us.

Then pain spread throughout my body.

My chest felt like it had been crushed by a heavy object, and a sharp, stabbing pain shot through my ribs.

My throat is on fire, and every time I swallow, it feels like swallowing shards of glass.

Gu Wei slowly opened his eyes.

The ceiling light emitted a cold glow, and the metal bed frame reflected a cool luster.

A private hospital room.

The curtains were drawn, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night.

The monitor emitted a regular ticking sound at the head of the bed, and the fluctuating green lines on the screen displayed his vital signs.

He is still alive.

But Gu Wei wasn't happy.

Instead, I felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on my chest, heavy and making it hard to breathe.

Memories came flooding back.

Fan Qianqian's face was cold on the dock.

My cousin Gu Sili's empty eyes.

The suffocating sensation of black seawater filling my mouth and nose.

and also……

That hand that pulled him back from the brink of death.

"woke up?"

A voice came from beside the bed, calm, low, and devoid of emotion.

Gu Wei turned his head.

The man was sitting in a chair against the wall, dressed in all black, almost blending into the shadows.

He crossed his legs and fiddled with a metal lighter in his hand, making a crisp click as he opened and closed it.

The dim light in the ward only illuminated half of his face.

A sharply defined jawline, tightly pursed thin lips, and those eyes.

Calm and still, yet as deep as a bottomless, icy pool.

Chen Ziqi?

Gu Wei was somewhat surprised.

He did not have a deep relationship with Chen Ziqi.

All I know is that this man is my cousin's friend, and he even helped Gu's company when it was in trouble. He is also quite capable in business.

But how could Chen Ziqi know that he would perish at sea?

How could it be such a coincidence that she saved herself?

"how do you feel?"

Chen Ziqi asked, his tone as if he were asking about today's weather.

Gu Wei did not answer.

He stared at the other person, trying to read something from that expressionless face.

But nothing.

This man was like an empty shell, sealing all his emotions deep inside.

Not a single detail was missed.

"You saved me."

Gu Wei spoke, his voice so hoarse it was almost unrecognizable as his own, "Why?"

Chen Ziqi stopped playing with the lighter.

"Because you look pitiful."

He said it in a flat tone, as if stating a fact: "I've been loyal to Gu Sili for so many years, and he just abandoned me like that. Like throwing away a useless dog."

"..."

Gu Wei's fists clenched under the blanket.

He remained silent, holding back his anger.

"And Yun Ning too."

When Yun Ning was mentioned, Chen Ziqi's voice finally showed a slight emotional fluctuation, very soft, but definitely present. "She and Gu Sili have been through so many ups and downs over the years, and she even gave birth to one of his children, and is now pregnant with a second one. But Gu Sili is completely devoted to another woman, showing no regard for Yun Ning's feelings at all."

"..."

Gu Wei pursed his lips.

Yes.

My cousin has definitely changed.

Like a stranger!

"so what?"

Gu Wei looked at him and asked, "What do you want to do? Use me to get revenge on my cousin? To avenge your cousin's wife?"

"It's not about taking advantage of them."

Chen Ziqi corrected Gu Wei, his tone remaining calm, "It's cooperation."

He stood up and walked to the window.

His black coat accentuated his tall and solitary figure.

"I don't know to what extent it should be done. But Gu Sili definitely needs to be disciplined right now."

Chen Ziqi's gaze fell on Gu Wei's face. "Otherwise, he would continue to be stubborn and it might even lead to more serious consequences, wouldn't it?"

Gu Wei remained silent.

What Chen Ziqi said was true.

My cousin has completely gone mad.

They only listened to what that woman, Fan Qianqian, said.

If he doesn't regain consciousness in time, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Gu Wei closed his eyes briefly before finally speaking, "You're right."

"very good."

Chen Ziqi smiled slightly, "Then we have the same goal."

"I just wanted to teach my brother a lesson."

Gu Wei emphasized, his tone serious, "Make him sober up, make him break free from Fan Qianqian's control. Don't even think about using me for other things."

"There is ample time."

Chen Ziqi sat back down in his chair, resuming his nonchalant demeanor. "What if our collaboration goes well, and you'd like to take the initiative to collaborate again?"

He stretched out his hand.

The fingers are long and slender with distinct knuckles, and the nails are neatly trimmed.

Gu Wei looked at the hand, then at Chen Ziqi.

Those unfathomable eyes reflected the cold light of the hospital room, and also reflected her own pale, broken face.

Gu Wei recalled the suffocating feeling of seawater filling his lungs.

Hesitated for a moment.

Finally, he reached out and grasped Chen Ziqi's hand.

The man's hands were cold, just like him, devoid of warmth.

But the handshake was firm and steady, carrying an unquestionable determination.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Gu."

Chen Ziqi said.

"It's a pleasure to work with you,"

Gu Wei let go of her hand, lay back down on the pillow, and closed his eyes. "I'll get some rest from now on. If you need anything, just come to me."

"Will do."

Chen Ziqi pushed back his chair and walked towards the door. "Goodbye for now, Mr. Gu."

The door was closed gently.

The ward fell silent again, with only the regular ticking of the monitors.

Gu Wei had mixed feelings.

If we cooperate, we can teach my cousin a lesson, make him wake up, and make him leave that woman, Fan Qianqian...

I wouldn't mind walking with the devil.

As dawn broke outside the window, the morning light shone through the gaps in the curtains, casting a pale glow on the hospital room floor.

A new day begins.

Meanwhile, something has already quietly taken root in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to sprout.
