It was raining heavily. As soon as the gangway of the private plane touched the ground, Pei Luonan rushed towards the black Maybach waiting on the tarmac through the accumulated water like a mad beast.

The rain rushed down his messy hair, but it could not extinguish the burning anger in his eyes.

On the mobile phone screen, the image of Gu Fanxing being pushed into the emergency room was still playing in a loop, and every scene was like a sharp steel needle, piercing his heart.

"Go to the Municipal Hospital!" His voice was low and cold, filled with chilling murderous intent. "Go as fast as you can!"

The driver was startled by the roar, and he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the black car rushed out like an arrow.

Pei Luonan untied his tie, and the bulging veins on his neck throbbed.

"Notify Captain Chen Ming and immediately establish a special task force!" He suddenly growled, shaking the assistant in the passenger seat. "Start investigating from the seventy-two hours before Gu Fanxing showed symptoms. Dig out every person and every item she came into contact with thoroughly!"

Pei Luonan still felt it was not enough. "Mobilize all the security forces under the Pei Group! Clinics, gyms, and every place she frequents, send people to monitor her 24 hours a day!"

He slammed his fist into the leather seat, shaking the car's aromatherapy bottle violently. "I want the entire underground world of Huacheng to know that anyone who dares to touch her will pay a heavy price! I want them to live a life worse than death!"

The car radio suddenly interrupted with a news report: "A fire broke out in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. Initial suspicion is that it is related to this morning's kidnapping..."

Pei Luonan's pupils suddenly contracted, and his voice roared from the depths of his throat: "Stop all the vehicles leaving the warehouse area! I want to see them alive or dead!"

The car braked suddenly in front of the hospital, and Pei Luonan almost broke open the door and rushed out.

The humid air mixed with the smell of disinfectant hit him in the elevator. He tore off his tie and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt. The bulging blue veins on his neck throbbed like drums.

Finally, the elevator door opened.

When he saw Gu Fanxing lying quietly on the hospital bed with various tubes connected to his body, every "beep" from the ECG monitor seemed to be beating his heart.

Her face was as pale as paper, completely bloodless. Although the rash on her neck had subsided, the dark red marks left behind were shocking.

Pei Luonan's footsteps suddenly stopped.

He walked forward tremblingly, slowly squatted beside the bed, and gently stroked the bruise on the back of her hand with his slender fingers. The touch was so fragile, as if it would break at the touch.

"I'm sorry... I didn't protect you well..." His voice was terribly hoarse, with deep remorse and pain. A drop of hot tears fell on the back of Gu Fanxing's hand, "I should have protected you well..."

He held her hand gently, but didn't dare to use force for fear of hurting her.

The hand that was once warm and soft was now as cold as ice.

He buried his face in her palms, tears silently falling, soaking her sleeves. "You must wake up," he choked, his voice full of pleading, "I swear, I will make those who hurt you pay the price."

His eyes swept over every scar on her body, and his heart felt like it was being roasted on fire.

Pei Luonan reached out and gently brushed away the messy hair on her forehead, his movements so gentle as if he was touching a rare treasure.

Looking at her lifeless sleeping face, he secretly swore that even if it cost him everything, he would find out the mastermind behind the scenes and make them pay the most painful price for their actions.

The next day, Criminal Police Captain Chen Ming hurried over holding a bag of evidence, "Boss Pei, we've found something!" Pei Luonan stood up suddenly, and when he turned around, he knocked over a chair beside him.

Chen Ming pushed the evidence bag in front of him. The bottle of "Xie Li Ting" in the transparent plastic bag glowed coldly. "It was found in Gu Fanxing's apartment. The core ingredient of the pills has been replaced with penicillin."

Pei Luonan's eyes were fixed on the medicine bottle. Gu Fanxing's beautiful handwriting was still there on the bottle, but at this moment it was like a sharp blade, cutting into his heart.

He suddenly remembered the time when Gu Fanxing was hospitalized after saving his injured dog. He heard the doctor say to the nurse: "Miss Gu is allergic to penicillin. You must not use the wrong medicine." The doctor's advice at that time has now become the cruelest reality.

"check!"

He suddenly roared, grabbed the medicine bottle and smashed it against the wall. The sound of shattering glass startled the pedestrians in the corridor.

"Thoroughly investigate this clinic's supply channels and the personnel changes over the past six months! Mobilize all your connections. I want to know if there have been any unusual transactions involving the underground forces in Huacheng recently!"

His chest heaved violently, his eyes burning with rage. "No matter who is involved, you must give me an answer in two days!"

For the next few days, Pei Luonan stayed at the hospital almost non-stop, waiting for Gu Fanxing to wake up while keeping an eye on the progress of the case. His eyes were bloodshot, his beard had sprouted, and he looked haggard, but he still kept a close eye on every detail, not missing any clues.

When I feel sleepy, I pour cold water on my face. When I feel hungry, I just eat a few mouthfuls of cold lunch box. I fall into a state of paranoia and madness.

Finally, Chen Ming appeared in front of Pei Luonan again with a thick investigation report.

In the conference room, the projector projected the gym surveillance footage: a woman wearing a black baseball cap and a loose windbreaker was pointing a sprayer at Gu Fanxing's locker.

The deliberately lowered brim of her hat and her stiff body movements all revealed a sense of deliberate unnaturalness.

"Have you checked all the surveillance cameras in the city?" Pei Luonan's voice was as cold as if it came from hell, and his eyes were fixed on the moment when the woman disappeared around the corner in the picture.

Chen Ming flipped through the investigation report, his pen tip making a harsh sound as it scratched the paper: "This woman took three taxis immediately after leaving the gym, and finally disappeared into the surveillance blind spot in the old city.

We tracked her down and found she had bought a bottle of water at a convenience store, and the cashier camera captured a crescent-shaped scar on the back of her hand.

"This is more important." Chen Ming pulled up his bank statements, the numbers dancing on the screen shimmering eerily under the cold white light. "Her accounts saw large amounts of money flowing through them before and after the crime. Three days ago, the day Gu Fanxing showed symptoms, one of her accounts suddenly received 500,000 yuan, and the remitter used three encrypted transfers."

“Also, during the investigation of Chengxi Clinic, the trainee pharmacist, Xiao Wu, was acting suspiciously and furtively.

During interrogation, he only said he accepted 100,000 yuan in cash from a stranger, and he couldn't even describe the man's appearance. He pushed his glasses and said solemnly, "Before he was apprehended, he had already overdosed on sleeping pills and is still unconscious."

Pei Luonan suddenly grabbed the mug on the table and smashed it against the wall.

Porcelain shards flew across the "Case Relationship Diagram," shattering the unconnected nodes. He kicked his chair away and paced back and forth in the conference room, his anger threatening to set the room on fire.

"Five hundred thousand yuan to buy half her life?" He suddenly stopped, grabbed his tablet and slammed it to the ground. The screen instantly exploded into a spider web. "Even if I have to chase them to the ends of the earth, I will make these beasts who bought human lives with money kneel down and repent before the stars!"

Outside the window, the rainstorm was still raging, and the lightning and thunder illuminated Pei Luonan's gloomy face.

This carefully planned conspiracy was much deeper and darker than he had imagined.

But no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, he vows to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and seek justice for Gu Fanxing. Anyone who hurts her must pay a heavy price.

He secretly swore that he would never stop until the truth came out and until those who hurt her received the punishment they deserved.
