Night Fire Lingering

Wen Muzhi turned his face away, looking aggrieved, as if to say, "You're slandering me, I don't want to talk to you anymore."

"There's no point in discussing this here, Wen Muzhi. I don't care about your relationship with Zheng Wenguang, or what contact you've had with him. The police will investigate those things." Wen Yan showed no reluctance and was truly ready to leave.

Upon hearing the word "police," Wen Muzhi finally showed a look of panic in his eyes.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. With just this slight expression, Wan Ying knew that Wen Yan was not talking nonsense and that the whole thing really was related to Wen Muzhi!

If she calls the police, her daughter's life will be ruined...

Without thinking, Wan Ying chased after Wen Yan, trying to stop her.

But before he could get close to Wen Yan, Zhou Qi stopped him.

Zhou Qina's posture of protecting Wen Yan behind him was too obvious.

Wan Ying's smile was awkward and insincere: "Xiao Zhou, I'm Yan Yan's family, I wouldn't hurt her, you don't need to do this..."

"Is that so?" Zhou Qi smiled, his expression full of sarcasm.

If she wouldn't have been harmed, then who sent her to a mental hospital? And who made him almost die during the retreat, and then kidnap her?

Wen Yonghai, who had remained silent, looked away from Wen Yan.

Wan Ying shouted with a ferocious expression, "Wen Yan, Mu Zhi didn't put you in jail back then, you can't do this!"

Wen Yan paused slightly and lowered her voice, saying, "Aunt Wan, negotiating terms isn't just about having words. Don't you understand this better than anyone?"

……

"Doesn't he need you over there?" Wen Yan asked Zhou Qi, who was following her. "Bei Qing is taking care of me here. You go back and look after him."

Why doesn't he say his name?

“Madam, you still care about President Gu,” Zhou Qi couldn’t help but say.

Wen Yan sensed the hidden meaning in his words and glanced at him: "If you get hurt because of me, I will still care about you."

Zhou Qi quickly waved his hand.

He dared not disregard this concern.

He didn't want to get hurt either.

Neither Luo Beiqing nor Wen Yan could cook, so they ate at a restaurant before going home.

"I feel like someone is watching us," Wen Yan whispered to Luo Beiqing, turning her head slightly.

“He Tingchuan has called bodyguards to follow me.” Luo Beiqing looked around. “Gu Yanci should have also called people to follow you.”

After Wen Yan's incident, Gu Yanci couldn't possibly leave her alone outside.

"Are you really not going to the hospital to see Gu Yanci?" Because of this incident, Luo Beiqing's impression of Gu Yanci had improved somewhat. "But Yan Yan, my speaking up for him now doesn't affect my support for any decision you make, whether it's divorce or not."

Wen Yan felt a warmth in her heart and nodded in agreement.

She hugged Luo Beiqing and whispered, "Beiqing, me too."

—I support whatever decision you make, whether it's divorce or not.

into the night.

Wen Yan slept very restlessly, constantly having dreams—

One moment, flames from the explosion rushed towards her, and at the critical moment, the man appeared out of nowhere, blocking all the flames that were engulfing her...

A moment later, Gu Yanci knelt down on both knees, humbly crawling towards her...

The bizarre scene shifted, and it turned into Gu Yanci lying on the ground covered in blood.

"Gu Yanci..."

"Gu Yanci..."

"Yan Yan! Yan Yan, wake up!"

Wen Yan woke up with a start and saw Luo Beiqing's worried face.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Luo Beiqing comforted Wen Yan by stroking her back.

Wen Yan was still a little confused and just hummed in response.

"Did you dream about Gu Yanci?"

Wen Yan looked at her, as if to say: How did you know?

Luo Beiqing glanced at her phone and said, "Zhou Qifa said that Gu Yanci's condition has relapsed, and he has a fever and is in a coma."

Wen Yan almost instinctively wanted to get out of bed and go to the hospital, but reason made her stop and she asked in confusion, "Why did Zhou Qi tell you?"

Luo Beiqing shrugged. "Probably because he felt that telling you directly would be too deliberate, so he figured he could achieve the same goal by telling me?"

We're all cunning foxes, no need to pretend to have any ulterior motives.

Wen Yan pursed her lips.

Indeed, if Gu Yanci's people had told her directly that Gu Yanci's condition was relapsed, she would probably have just retorted, "I'm not a doctor."

However, by telling Luo Beiqing the news, Zhou Qi was handing the initiative to her. If she didn't want to go, she could pretend she didn't know anything about it, and he wouldn't put any psychological burden on her.

But precisely because of this, Wen Yan felt psychologically burdened.

private hospital.

In the dead of night, at the end of the corridor in the VIP ward, more than a dozen people were standing outside the ward.

When Gu's relatives received the news, they rushed to the hospital, wanting to enter the ward, but Zhou Qi stopped them at the outside, and they could only peek in from the outside.

"Zhou Qi, you're just a hired assistant, what right do you have to stop us? We all share the same surname, Gu, and we're all family to Gu Yanci!"

"That's right! Let us in right now!"

When Wen Yan arrived at the hospital, she saw several of Gu family uncles causing trouble for Zhou Qi, insisting on entering the ward.

"Madam, what brings you here!" Assistant Zhou, who had been stern and impartial just a moment ago, was now beaming with joy upon seeing Wen Yan.

"Didn't you want me to come?" Wen Yan retorted, crossing her arms as she saw him acting innocent after getting the benefit.

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "How could I? It's President Gu who wanted you to come!"

When several of the Gu family uncles saw Wen Yan about to enter the ward, they insisted on following her in.

Wen Yan was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night and rushed to the hospital instead of sleeping. She was already in a bad mood, and then she encountered this group of people who took advantage of their age, which made her even more angry.

"It seems everyone has heard that Gu Yanci survived the explosion, but was shot and suffered internal bleeding, so his injuries are quite serious. You all want to take advantage of his weakness to curry favor with him and get more benefits in the future. Am I right? It's tough for you, staying up late at your age, busy making plans."

Wen Yan ruthlessly dispelled everyone's thoughts, showing no mercy whatsoever.

With so many people entering the ward, does Gu Yanci, the patient, even need to rest?

Besides, who knows if any of these people want Gu Yanci to die in bed? Only if Gu Yanci, the heir, dies will their younger generations have a chance!

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation:

"Xiao Wen, that's really harsh of you. We're your elders, after all!"

"Wen Yan, didn't you say you were going to divorce Yan Ci? Why are you still here?"

"We're not divorced yet, are we?" Wen Yan chuckled. "Uncles and elders, as of now, at this very moment, my name is on Gu Yanci's spouse list. I not only have the right to make his decisions, but I can even go in and blow on his pillow, telling him who's trying to bully me!"

Who the hell bullied her!

The group of people were rendered speechless by Wen Yan's sarcastic remarks.

Wen Yan instructed Zhou Qi to stop the people, and then went into the ward herself.

To her surprise, as soon as she entered the room, she saw the man who had been unconscious in the message staring straight at her with his eyes open.
