"Okay, I'll leave the medicine by the door. Remember to use it." Fu Cheng put down the medicine bag, still adding with concern, "If you get a fever tonight, remember to call me, and I'll take you to..."

Remembering her frantic reaction just now, he quickly changed his mind: "I'll bring a doctor over."

"Hmm!" came the faint reply, almost inaudible.

Fu Cheng added, "If he contacts you again, just call me and I'll definitely be there."

There was no response from inside the room, only faint breathing. Fu Cheng released the doorknob and turned to leave.

A car was parked across from Fenglinyuan Road, hidden in the dim light under the trees. It was almost one o'clock, and Gan Tang looked at the silent gate, feeling anxious and uneasy.

Could Fu Cheng have slept on top of me? How could he be so blatant? What did he promise He Zhong?

Gan Tang lowered his head and impatiently started the car. With a thud, the rear of his car collided with another vehicle.

She turned her head and saw a gloomy face.

"It's you?" Fu Cheng walked towards the car in front, his brows furrowing slightly. He had assumed it was He Zhong's man, but it turned out to be her.

Gan Tang got out of the car awkwardly, waving her hand with a smile: "What a coincidence!"

How come Mo Huaixing wasn't discovered after following the human traffickers all day, but she was discovered after following Fu Cheng for just one trip? She felt it was necessary to ask Mo Huaixing for some tracking skills.

"I'm warning you, don't even think about making a move on Miss Lin."

His words were utterly merciless. When had Fu Cheng ever been so tough on her? Perhaps only that one time, for Mo Huaixing. Since he wasn't beating around the bush, Gan Tang went straight to the point: "What did you promise He Zhong?"

Fu Cheng cut off the conversation directly: "It's none of your business."

"That's it." Gan Tang said angrily, "The old saying is really true, there's no cat in this world that doesn't steal fish. The bond between those who have slept together is just different."

"Shut up." Fu Cheng warned again, "Miss Lin is innocent. If you dare to spout nonsense in front of Godfather, I'll make sure Mo Huaixing has no face to come back."

"Have you forgotten how Lin Shuang hurt you before?" Gan Tang asked incredulously, "You're threatening me with your best brother for someone who hurt you?"

"It's none of your business," Fu Cheng emphasized. "If you don't say anything, nothing will happen."

Since nothing happened, why don't you dare to say anything?

Gan Tang watched him desperately defend Lin Shuang and laughed at his stupidity. "Big brother, Dad told me that she originally belonged to Fourth Uncle. She can't stay by Dad's side now, so He Zhong sent her to seduce you. Do you know how many men she's slept with? You idiot, you still treat her like a treasure."

With a sharp slap, a stinging pain shot through her cheek. Gan Tang looked at Fu Cheng in surprise; he had actually dared to hit her. Sure enough, men are all driven by their lower instincts.

"I wish you a long and happy life together." She pushed Fu Cheng away and drove off.

Fu Cheng regretted his actions after hitting her and hurriedly drove after her. He was only slightly relieved when he saw her drive into Yuanhuai Villa. At least, she didn't intend to complain to her godfather.

Gan Tang ran back to her room, her heart pounding with panic and sweating profusely: "Mo Huaixing, what should we do? Fu Cheng and He Zhong are in cahoots. Are you in danger?"

She was afraid, afraid that he would be killed by the infighting within the Green Dragon Gang before he could complete his mission.

The wind howled in from outside the balcony. Gan Tang hugged her legs and curled up on the soft sofa, looking at the starry sky, her longing growing stronger.

It's past 1 a.m., everyone should be asleep by now.

Thinking this, Gan Tang picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to Mo Huaixing: I miss you.

Seeing those four words made her feel much better. She planned to withdraw her message within two minutes, but to her surprise, the other party replied with remarkable efficiency.

Mo: Why aren't you asleep yet?

Gan Tang looked at the words that popped up and felt so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground, but then she thought that this was their current status, and there was nothing wrong with saying such things.

Since it's just acting, he won't think too much about it.

Gan Tang then made a request: "Are you available for a video call right now? I'd like to see you."

Immediately, a video call came in from the other end of the line.

Gan Tang clicked on it and saw a sky full of stars, as well as his long-lost handsome face. As long as he stood there safely, it could heal the three thousand fears in her heart.

Gan Tang looked at her and laughed, "I can't sleep. Where are you? Why aren't you sleeping?"

"I'll be back in the mountains in two hours. Come out and check. Better safe than sorry." The wind was a bit strong across the way, so Mo Huaixing wrapped his leather jacket tighter around himself and said magnanimously, "The money will be in my hands soon. What do you want? I'll buy it for you."

"What a jerk!" Gan Tang rolled her eyes at him and asked, "I want all these stars in the sky, can you buy them for me?"

“Boss, this kind of simple romance isn’t in fashion these days.” Mo Huaixing was quite aware of this: “If I took it seriously and bought you a mirror, you’d probably smash my head in.”

Gan Tang thought about it and agreed, deciding to be more practical: "Then exchange all your money for gold and bring it back to me."

"So ruthless?" Mo Huaixing regretted it a little.

“Hmm!” At this point, Gan Tang took the opportunity to persuade, “If it’s not easy to memorize, then don’t. Come back, I’ll take care of you, I won’t mind if you live off me.”

Originally, this matter was not part of his mission, but he insisted on making things difficult for himself. How foolish!

"Such a good thing?"

"Mmm!" Gan Tang nodded, "As long as you make me happy."

"How do we coax him?" he asked in a serious tone.

"Sing me a song." Gan Tang teased him with a smile, "Sing one now, I'll listen."

Mo Huaixing frowned, looking aggrieved. "I'd rather carry the gold."

"It's not that difficult. How about I demonstrate for you?" Gan Tang said, humming a nursery rhyme her mother used to hum to her when she was little. She couldn't remember the lyrics, only the melody.

Mo Huaixing turned up the volume and listened quietly.

"Brother Mo, what kind of idiot is humming this so late at night? It's making me want to pee again." Jin Hu walked towards Mo Huaixing, pulling up his pants. Seeing the phone in his hand with what looked like a video call on the screen, he asked, "Are you chatting with someone?"

Mo Huaixing gave a faint "hmm" and was about to send him away when Jin Hu looked at his phone screen and excitedly greeted him, "Young Miss!"

Suddenly, his face froze, because as he greeted them, he realized a serious problem: the singing had stopped.

The silly boy looked at Mo Huaixing with a pained expression and asked for help, "Brother Mo, the young lady sings so well."

Gan Tang, who had been pretending not to hear, couldn't stay calm any longer: "Tiger, frequent urination is a kidney problem."

Mo Huaixing quickly waved for him to leave, reassuring the person on the screen: "It sounds nice."

But to Gan Tang's ears, it was clearly gloating.

"I'm ignoring you." Gan Tang angrily hung up the video call.

The video call came back immediately. Gan Tang touched her embarrassed face and answered it without any self-respect.

"What do you want to say?" she asked expressionlessly.
