The morning light poured into the bedroom through the gauze curtains. Gu Fanxing rubbed her slightly swollen belly, thinking that the takeaway she had eaten last night was not fresh.

In front of the dressing mirror, she chuckled at the message from Pei Luonan on her phone. The words on the screen were filled with rare tenderness: "When you arrive in Country S, you'll know the surprise I've prepared."

She was looking forward to this romantic journey and fantasized about strolling on the streets of a foreign country with Pei Luonan, but she didn't know that behind this "surprise" was a conspiracy that could destroy everything.

Half an hour later, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my stomach, as if it was being twisted by a red-hot wire.

Gu Fanxing knelt on the ground, holding onto the dressing table, and cold sweat instantly soaked the clothes on her back.

The lingering lemon scent from the sports bottle still lingered in her nose, but she didn't know that the bottle she had left in her locker while working out last night had also been sprayed with a laxative spray specially made by Tiger Brother's team.

"Why... does it hurt so much..." She reached for her phone tremblingly. The screen showed eight o'clock in the morning - there were only six hours left before the flight to Country S took off.

Next to the date circled in red on the calendar, she had happily written "A romantic trip with Pei Luonan", but now it seemed particularly glaring.

The abdominal pain came in waves, and she curled up on the floor.

At the same time, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of Dijing Mansion, Wang Xinyi was elegantly sipping Blue Mountain coffee while staring at the surveillance footage of Gu Fanxing on the tablet.

When she saw Gu Fanxing rushing into the bathroom holding onto the wall, she tapped the screen with her diamond-studded nails, zooming in on Gu Fanxing's distorted face: "Brother Hu's special laxative really worked, but..."

She placed the coffee cup heavily on the obsidian coffee table. "The allergic reaction is the fatal blow. As long as she can't go on this 'romantic journey', all of Pei Luonan's thoughts will become a joke." A cold arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She turned on the eavesdropping software on her phone, and Gu Fanxing's suppressed vomiting sound came through the receiver. "This is just a prelude. When the allergic reaction hits, Pei Luonan will only be able to see her in the hospital with tubes all over her body - or, a corpse." She stroked the photo of Pei Luonan on the tablet, her fingertips tracing the man's cold brows on the screen. "When he collapses in despair, I will come like an angel."

Elsewhere, Gu Fanxing forced herself to send a message to Pei Luonan, but found that the message could not be sent. She was shocked to find that the phone signal bar had disappeared and the status bar showed "No Service".

At this time, Pei Luonan was already on the plane to Country S. He was completely unaware of Gu Fanxing's situation because he wanted to arrange everything before Gu Fanxing arrived in Country S so that Gu Fanxing's surprise would be even better.

In a panic, she tried to dial the emergency number 120, but all she heard was a shrill busy tone - her phone had been infected with a signal interference virus, and even the emergency call function was blocked.

Cold sweat slid down her forehead, her throat began to tighten, and every breath was accompanied by stinging. The red rash on her skin had spread to her neck.

After the abdominal pain eased a little, she struggled to get up and go to the hospital.

When we walked not far from the Chengxi Clinic, we saw that the streets were blocked by dense traffic.

The honking of horns continued. Gu Fanxing grabbed a passerby to ask, but the passerby waved his hands irritably: "I don't know what's going on. There's a chain reaction up ahead, and the traffic police haven't arrived yet!"

How could she know that this was an "accident" arranged by Brother Hu.

Three modified trucks deliberately rear-ended each other on a main road, scattering the construction materials they were carrying. Some of their men even disguised themselves as drivers, causing a scene of chaos and delaying rescue efforts.

The traffic lights in the distance were also tampered with by hackers, and all lanes turned red, paralyzing the entire street.

Gu Fanxing leaned against the wall and looked at the traffic jam in despair.

The stomach cramps and difficulty breathing made her eyes go dark, but she could only move forward step by step.

When she passed by the Chengxi Clinic, she walked in with a light step, completely unaware of the pharmacist's nervous eyes hidden behind the mask.

"Xiao Gu is here again?" the nurse on duty greeted him familiarly. "Are you feeling down in your stomach?"

"Well...and it's getting worse." Gu Fanxing held onto the counter, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. She didn't notice that the pharmacist turned around and took out the bottle of "Xie Li Ting" from the locker. It was the one he had replaced this morning.

After returning home, she forced herself to boil a pot of hot water and take the medicine.

The phone suddenly rang. It was Ling Jiuer calling. Just as she was about to answer, her throat suddenly felt like it was being pinched by an invisible hand. Breathing became increasingly difficult, and she could only make vague whimpers.

At this time, Wang Xinyi was staring at the real-time surveillance screen, watching Gu Fanxing stumble and knock over the vase, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes: "The harder he struggles, the more guilty Pei Luonan will feel in the future, and the faster I can fill the void in his heart." After the satisfaction in her eyes disappeared, it was followed by an unfathomable cold light, which made people feel scared at the sight of it.

Ling Jiuer stood up suddenly, knocking over the chair behind her. "Fanxing, what's wrong? Hang in there, I'll be there soon." Her eyes were full of anxiety. "Please don't let anything happen to you."

At this moment, Pei Luonan was still immersed in the construction of Gu Fanxing's surprised expression when she saw the exhibition after arriving in Country S: If she knew that this trip to Country S was not only a romantic journey, but also an archaeological artifact exhibition I prepared for her, which would allow her to make a name for herself in the archaeological community, she would definitely..."

As Wang Xinyi prepared to board her flight to Country S, a glint of pride flashed in her eyes. She pulled out her phone and sent a message to Brother Hu: "The allergic reaction has occurred. Proceed as planned and have her appear at the place we carefully prepared for her."

As night fell and Ling Jiuer was about to arrive at the Gu family villa, Gu Fanxing's symptoms became increasingly severe. She curled up on the sofa, her body covered in rashes, her lips purple, and her consciousness repeatedly struggling between blurring and clarity.

She used up her last bit of strength and stumbled to rush out the door.

However, as soon as she opened the door, several people wearing masks suddenly rushed out and forcibly held her.

Just as several people forcibly took Gu Fanxing into an unlicensed van, Ling Jiuer witnessed this scene.

When she reacted, she hurriedly dialed the phone number with three words.

At the same time, in the airport hall, the flight announcement was urging the last passengers to board the plane.

Wang Xinyi stood at the boarding gate with a victorious smile on her lips.

She knew that this carefully planned conspiracy was about to reach its climax.

"Pei Luonan, I've already won this game. As long as Gu Fanxing disappears from your sight, as long as I appear at the right time and play the role of the guardian who never leaves you, you will slowly let go of your concern for Gu Fanxing and eventually belong to me.

And the romantic journey and archaeological event that carried your love and Gu Fanxing's dreams will also be shattered with the disappearance of Gu Fanxing."

At this moment, Gu Fanxing was being taken to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city.

She was burning hot all over, having difficulty breathing, and her consciousness was beginning to blur.

In a trance, she saw a man in a baseball cap approaching with a syringe, muttering: "Don't blame me, only if you disappear forever can we..."

Outside the warehouse, the autumn rain fell again.

After the plane landed at the airport in Country S, Wang Xinyi eagerly opened her phone and saw a message from Brother Hu: "The goods have been delivered to the designated location. What should we do next?" The corners of her mouth curled up and she quickly replied: "According to the third step of the plan, make her disappear from Pei Luonan's world and shut up forever."

After sending the message, she deleted the chat history and walked into the elevator.

In the reflection in the mirror, her eyes were cold and crazy, as if she was a demon from hell, who would let everyone fall into the abyss of no return in order to get what she wanted.
