Lu Zhengqian glanced at He Zhong, then got up and left.

Feeling inexplicably wronged, He Zhong was seething with anger and winked at Yu Dayong.

In the room, Lu Zhengqian sat on the sofa with his eyes closed.

Lin Shuang was running a bath in the shower when she came out and saw Lu Zhengqian muttering, "You actually dared to threaten me for a pair of country bumpkins."

She stood there, neither daring to approach nor leave. Today was Lu Zhengqian's birthday, and she had to stay by his side at all times to satisfy his desires, whether he needed them or not. This was her rule as a lover.

The knocking on the door broke Lin Shuang's confusion.

Dr. Mu Zi came in carrying a physiotherapy device to provide cardiac care for Lu Zhengqian.

"Mr. Fu, this is the last course of treatment, please don't get angry."

After the nursing session ended, Lu Zhengqian opened his eyes, his face cold and indifferent: "Mu Zi, I'm afraid I'll have to go back on my promise to you."

Originally, Lu Zhengqian had agreed to use Gan Tang's adoptive parents as test subjects for the amnesia drug, as Dr. Mu Zi had promised. The research institute Lu Zhengqian provided for him wasn't without people to experiment with, but the deeper a person's obsession, the better they could probe the efficacy of the amnesia drug.

Their unwavering determination to find their daughter made them the most suitable people to be with her.

"Mr. Fu, you're too kind." Dr. Mu couldn't disobey Mr. Fu, so although she was disappointed, she had no choice but to abandon the plan.

The knocking sounded again; it was He Zhong.

When he came in, he was followed by a woman wearing a veiled hat, dressed as Lu Zhengqian had first met Jian Suhuai.

"Brother, this is my birthday present for you."
