Pei Luonan spread the sketch paper drawn by Brother Hu under hypnosis on the desk. The distorted rose pattern and the scribbled word "Wang" seemed to be telling an unknown secret.

The morning light slanted in through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room, casting sharp shadows on the paper, forming an eerie echo with the encrypted information flashing on his mobile phone screen - last night, the technical team successfully cracked the residual data of Brother Hu's prosthetic eye, among which appeared the blurry figure of Wang Xinyi who attended a private cocktail party three years ago.

"Mr. Pei, Miss Gu's rehabilitation therapy is scheduled for 3:00 PM. Grandma said she would personally make black chicken soup and send it over."

Assistant Kong Haoyu pushed the door open and walked in. The cursor on his laptop kept jumping on the picture.

Pei Luonan pressed his temples. "From now on, all your work will focus on two directions: dig deep into Wang Xinyi's background; and immediately identify any overseas companies that can produce memory-awakening drugs. I only want the company's name, country of origin, and information about the core person in charge."

Kong Haoyu's pupils contracted slightly.

As Pei Luonan's close assistant for several years, he had never seen him devote such obsessive energy beyond business decisions.

When he turned around, Pei Luonan suddenly called him: "By the way, ask the Legal Department to prepare several cooperation invitations in different fields. I will visit the Wang Group in person next week."

Outside the glass curtain wall, the LED screen of Pei's Building was broadcasting the news that Wang Xinyi sponsored a charity dinner. She was wearing a rose-shaped diamond brooch and her smile was dazzling.

At this moment, Gu Fanxing is undergoing rehabilitation training at the rehabilitation center of the municipal hospital.

Her pale forehead was covered with sweat, and every step she took seemed like she was fighting against invisible resistance.

Pei Luonan stood quietly behind the one-way glass of the observation room, watching the physical therapist instruct her in balance training.

His cell phone vibrated in his pocket. It was an urgent email from Kong Haoyu: the memory-awakening drug was exclusively produced by Nord Pharma in Munich, Germany. The company's equity structure chart showed that Wang Xinyi held 7% of the original shares and had had close conversations with the company's CEO Hans Miller at the 2010 International Medical Summit.

"Mr. Pei, Miss Gu's recovery is better than expected." The attending physician's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Very good, this means Gu Fanxing will be able to recover soon.

In the afternoon, in Hu Ge's ward, Pei Luonan noticed that half of the medical record folder was exposed in the pocket of the doctor's white coat, with the words "Special Medication Application Form" marked on it - the logo of Nord Pharma, a Munich, Germany company, shone coldly in the sunlight.

He calmly asked, "Who is purchasing this imported medicine?" The doctor pushed his glasses and said, "The hospital orders it directly from a Southeast Asian intermediary. However, the delivery cycle has been extended recently. They say that production capacity is affected by the rainy season."

A bold plan took shape in Pei Luonan's mind.

That night, he called Gu Fanxing and Grandma Gu together and solemnly told them his plan: "Now we need to play the game against them. We need to announce to the public that Fanxing has lost her memory and doesn't remember me. We can use this as an excuse to ask Wang Xinyi for medicine. This will not only provide an opportunity to find treatment for Brother Hu, but also a breakthrough to tear off her mask."

Gu Fanxing nodded firmly: "I will cooperate with you, Luo Nan."

Grandma held their hands tightly and said, "Just go ahead and do it. I will always support you."

At the business negotiation meeting three days later, Pei Luonan and Wang Xinyi sat opposite each other in the top-floor conference room of Wang Group.

"Mr. Pei, are you interested in the neurological drug market?" Her fingers, painted with burgundy nail polish, tapped the documents. "Want to cooperate with a company that produces memory enhancers?"

Pei Luonan showed an anxious expression: "To be honest with you, Miss Wang, Fanxing has lost her memory and can't remember anything. The doctor said that only the memory-awakening drug from Nordisk Pharmaceuticals in Germany can cure it. I begged them for a long time, but they refused to supply it. I heard that Miss Wang has a good personal relationship with their CEO... Can you do me a favor for this?"

Wang Xinyi's pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in her eyes.

She quickly regained her elegant smile. "Unfortunately, this medicine is limited worldwide." She twirled the rose diamond ring on her ring finger. "But for Mr. Pei's sake..." she deliberately dragged out the last word. "I can try to contact the German side, but I need Mr. Pei to agree to one condition: let me participate in all projects in the Pei Pharmaceutical sector."

Pei Luonan sneered in his heart, but showed hesitation on his face: "This..."

"Mr. Pei doesn't even have this little bit of sincerity, right?" Wang Xinyi leaned forward. "You know, Miss Gu's condition can't wait."

"Okay, I promise you." Pei Luonan gritted his teeth, "But the medicine must be delivered as soon as possible."

That night, Pei Luonan stood outside Gu Fanxing's ward, looking at her sleeping face through the glass.

Surveillance footage shows that Wang Xinyi's personal assistant has arrived at Nord Pharmaceuticals' office in Huacheng.

He gripped his phone tightly and sent an instruction to Kong Haoyu: "Launch Plan B and continue to dig deeper into Wang Xinyi's capital flows in Southeast Asia."

Two days later, Wang Xinyi personally delivered the refrigerated box containing the medicine to Pei Group.

"I brought the medicine, but I want to see Miss Gu take it with my own eyes." She walked into the ward gracefully, wearing a deep V red dress with a rose tattoo faintly visible below her collarbone.

Gu Fanxing followed Pei Luonan's instructions and looked at Wang Xinyi with a confused look: "Who are you?"

"We are here to help you." The rose carvings on Wang Xinyi's nails were particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

When the nurse was about to give Gu Fanxing an injection, Pei Luonan suddenly pressed the needle: "Wait, I need to confirm the authenticity of the medicine."

"Mr. Pei doesn't trust me?" Wang Xinyi deliberately moved closer to Pei Luonan, the strong scent of perfume on her body enveloped him, and her hair inadvertently brushed across his cheek.

Pei Luonan remained unmoved and took out the testing equipment he carried with him. When the instrument showed that the drug composition was completely correct, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Sorry, this concerns the safety of Fanxing..."

"Since the medicine is fine, isn't it time for Mr. Pei to fulfill his promise?" Wang Xinyi's arm gently brushed against Pei Luonan's arm. "Why don't we celebrate tonight?"

The nurse took advantage of the moment when Wang Xinyi turned around to quickly replace the prepared medicine and gave it to Gu Fanxing for injection.

Pei Luonan took a half step back, keeping just the right distance: "Of course, I will ask the Ministry of Justice to draft a cooperation agreement tomorrow. But before that, I would like to invite Miss Wang to dinner tonight as a thank you."

Wang Xinyi's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly regained her composure: "Mr. Pei, you're welcome."

In the evening, Wang Xinyi appeared in the restaurant wearing a backless fishtail dress, and the large area of skin on her back glowed with an alluring luster under the light.

During the meal, she accidentally spilled red wine on her chest and said coquettishly, "Oh, Mr. Pei, can you help me?" As she spoke, she tried to pull Pei Luonan's hand.

Pei Luonan avoided the situation without leaving a trace and called the waiter to deal with it.

Wang Xinyi refused to give in. After dinner, she deliberately twisted her ankle in front of Pei Luonan, fell into his arms, and whispered softly: "Mr. Pei, it hurts..."

Pei Luonan supported her and called a driver to take her home.

At this moment, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated. It was a message from Kong Haoyu: It was discovered that Wang Xinyi had transactions with Southeast Asian arms dealers, but no substantial evidence was obtained.

In the following days, Wang Xinyi became even more aggressive.

At the cooperation meeting of Pei Group, she wore a low-cut dress and deliberately leaned over to show the documents, with her breasts vaguely visible; when discussing things in the office, she pretended to accidentally drop the pen at Pei Luonan's feet, and deliberately rubbed his legs when she bent down to pick it up.

Pei Luonan skillfully resolved them one by one.

He knew that this was Wang Xinyi's strategy to attack his mind and disrupt his thinking.

And he will only become calmer in this game, waiting for the moment to collect enough evidence to completely defeat her.
