Chapter 501 The Orphan Girl Who Will No Longer Be Manipulated (27)
Mu Zhou followed the entire banquet process, so he knew exactly where each guest's room was.
She arrived at the door of room 1305, knocked, but heard no response from inside.
She took out the master key and opened the door.
The room was quiet. Mu Zhou quietly went in and saw Jiang Yan lying on the sofa with his eyes closed and his forehead covered in sweat.
He appears to have fallen into a coma.
It seems to be undoubtedly traditional Chinese medicine.
He frowned, breathing heavily, his coat lying on the ground, its collar torn open.
Jiang Yan was already quite pretty, and now that her glasses were no longer covering her face, her fair complexion with a rosy glow made her look rather delicious.
Mu Zhou admired it briefly for a few seconds, then began to worry.
It's not right to ignore this now that we know about it.
She wanted to call 120 for Jiang Yan, but she was afraid that it would be too conspicuous and attract the attention of others, so she thought about whether to contact someone close to him and quietly take him away for treatment.
However, among the people around Jiang Yan, Mu Zhou only knew Gu Yanli.
Why don't we give it to him?
Mu Zhou thought this would work, so he took his phone out of his handbag and walked towards the door.
Before she could even take out her phone, the door in front of her was suddenly flung open.
For a moment, Mu Zhou thought it was Mu Ruxin who had come looking for him.
But when she looked up, she froze.
It was Gu Yanli who arrived!
"How did you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yanli grabbed her arm and pulled her in front of him.
"What? Did I disturb you by coming here?"
His voice was as cold and chilling as ice, and his eyes were filled with a frenzied rage.
Mu Zhou subconsciously held his breath.
Gu Yanli used a bit too much force, and she was pulled so hard that she crashed into his hard chest, naturally feeling the violent rise and fall of his chest.
His anger was almost uncontrollable.
After a moment of confusion, Mu Zhou realized that he might have misunderstood something.
To avoid escalating the situation, she calmly explained:
"Jiang Yan has been drugged with aphrodisiacs, and I was just about to look for him..."
"What do you want to do? Do you want to give him the antidote yourself?"
He spoke slowly and dangerously, as if squeezing each word out from between his teeth.
Mu Zhou's eyes widened, completely surprised that he thought that way, and he was speechless for a moment.
After his chest heaved for a moment, he said:
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I'm talking nonsense? Then what are you doing here? He doesn't even have this much vigilance. He's stupid and deserves to be taught a lesson."
Gu Yanli's deep, cold voice was so ruthless it sent chills down one's spine.
Even if he took a liking to Jiang Yan, he wasn't so kind as to offer his help.
Jiang Yan needed his help.
If he can't even protect himself, Jiang Yan doesn't deserve to be by his side.
Wherever Gu Yanli appears, he is naturally surrounded by unseen security personnel.
Therefore, he had naturally heard the security guards' report about Mu Ruxin's low-level, childish tricks.
However, he didn't take it seriously.
Since Jiang Yan couldn't sense the danger, he needed to have the ability to survive it.
So he chose to stand by and do nothing.
Unexpectedly, Mu Zhou appeared here.
In fact, Gu Yanli had a bad feeling from the moment Mu Zhou left the banquet hall and headed towards the guest room.
When he saw that she had actually gone into Jiang Yan's room, his rationality collapsed in an instant.
He narrowed his eyes, staring at Mu Zhou:
"You feel sorry for him?"
Gu Yanli's cold and fierce aura pressed down on Mu Zhou like an invisible shadow, making Mu Zhou almost unable to breathe.
She pressed her hand against Gu Yanli's chest:
"Jiang Yan and I are friends, so calling 120 isn't a big deal. Besides, I was just about to ask you for help."
Gu Yanli's forearm veins bulged from the exertion. He gripped Mu Zhou's shoulders tightly, his gaze deep as he assessed the truthfulness of her words.
Mu Zhou was afraid that he might go crazy again if he couldn't figure things out, so she had no choice but to put her arms around his lean waist.
"Seriously, I was about to take out my phone. If you hadn't opened the door, I would have called you."
Seeing that he seemed unmoved, his narrow eyes fixed on her with dark, unfathomable intensity, Mu Zhou had no choice but to soften her voice and give him a reproachful look:
"How could I possibly give him the antidote myself? It's something the hospital could easily handle. I'm not stupid."
Mu Zhou's words, which sounded like she was being coquettish, made Gu Yanli's chest feel like it was being brushed by a feather, so ticklish that his breathing became a little unsteady.
The anger dissipated in an instant.
Mu Zhou took the initiative to get close to him, which pleased Gu Yanli greatly.
Instinct beat reason; he took Mu Zhou's hand.
"Then come with me."
Although his voice was still cold and hard, his aura had softened.
Mu Zhou nodded. "I was going to leave anyway." She glanced back at Jiang Yan, who was still lying there with a flushed face, and said to Gu Yanli, "Then you should find someone to keep an eye on him, so that no one takes advantage of him."
Gu Yanli's face darkened.
He was somewhat dissatisfied with Mu Zhou's wording.
Take advantage?
For Mu Zhou, is Jiang Yan getting a good deal?
But he still agreed.
Gu Yanli's eyes flickered slightly, his tone ambiguous:
“My men will be watching him.”
But they will not provide him with medical treatment.
He needs to overcome this on his own before he'll be qualified to stay.
Of course, Gu Yanli wouldn't tell Mu Zhou this.
He didn't know if Mu Zhou would plead for him after hearing this, or if she would wisely shut up, but Gu Yanli was afraid to see the heartache for Jiang Yan in her eyes.
Yes, Gu Yanli was afraid.
This was the first time in his life that he had experienced a state of not wanting to face things directly and trying to avoid them.
This is so unfamiliar, yet so unavoidable.

When Mu Zhou returned to the banquet hall, he did not see Mu Ruxin.
Gu Yanli knew her doubts and took the initiative to explain.
It turned out that as soon as they left, Mu Ruxin went to find Jiang Yan, but was stopped outside by Gu Yanli's men.
Mu Zhou also took the initiative to explain why he went to find Jiang Yan.
Since Gu Yanli was such a suspicious person, Mu Zhou didn't hide anything from him.
"I only kept an eye on Mu Ruxin because she's been acting strangely these past few days, and I was afraid she'd cause trouble for me. Who knew she was actually trying to drug Jiang Yan?"
Upon learning that Mu Zhou's knowledge of Jiang Yan's situation wasn't solely due to his devotion to Jiang Yan, but rather an accidental discovery while keeping an eye on Mu Ruxin, Gu Yanli's smile became more genuine.
That's right.
Jiang Yan is not worth Mu Zhou's extra effort.
After that, Gu Yanli no longer tried to hide it, ignoring the gazes of others, and followed Mu Zhou the whole time.
dance to tune.
Mu Zhou couldn't persuade him, so he could only let him do as he pleased.

After the birthday banquet, because the grand ceremony gave Mu Zhou a clear identity and shares, everyone's attitude towards her changed significantly.
Within Lianzhong Group, Mu Zhou's prestige is gradually accumulating, and he is increasingly trusted.
In particular, she also had the help of Jiang Huazhen.
At this point, Jiang Huazhen no longer intended to resign; in fact, she was eager to make her mark.
She was confident that Mu Zhou was no ordinary person.
Mu Xingbang's attitude towards Mu Zhou also began to become intriguing.
