It's simply impossible to refuse.

This made it impossible for the entire Shen family to refuse!

After all, whether it's a miracle drug or a miracle doctor, the Shen family would risk their lives to achieve either one, just to change their family's genes!

That was their plan back then.

However, no matter how hard they searched the whole world, they couldn't find her. It was as if Miss Qi had been erased from existence, so they gave up.

The Shen family head, who was overwhelmed by the enormous benefits, was only briefly delighted before his rationality returned.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.

"Old Qi, don't worry, I will send everyone in the Shen family to look for Miss Gui."

"Whether they are alive or dead, I will try my best to find them."

"But it's been more than 20 years, so don't have too high hopes."

No one noticed Shen Bingyan's expression. When she heard that the Qi family head asked the Shen family to help find his daughter, a strange look flashed in Shen Bingyan's eyes.

She was groomed by the head of the Shen family to be the future successor of the Shen family from a young age, which naturally cultivated her to be calm and composed even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her. Otherwise, she would have revealed her weakness in front of these people long ago.

The strange look in Shen Bingyan's eyes vanished in an instant, and she returned to her cold expression as she listened to the conversation between the two family heads.

While her gaze seemed fixed on the head of the Qi family, she occasionally glanced unintentionally at the adopted daughter beside him.

No one knows a secret—

That is—

The head of the Qi family adopted the daughter of a fallen comrade and raised her to adulthood. However, this woman became jealous of the Qi family's young lady and, more than twenty years ago, orchestrated the disappearance and amnesia of the young lady.

Shen Bingyan has her own power base. She has always felt that there is something wrong with this seemingly docile adopted daughter. After many years of investigation, she finally has some results.

However, she did not tell her grandfather what she had discovered. Instead, during the internal strife within the Shen family, she volunteered to go to Lucheng.

They're after the Qi family's legendary doctor!

It's a pity... my plan failed.

Even after all this time, she still couldn't win Zhou Yi's heart.

It's unclear where the two family heads were talking, but the adopted daughter suddenly burst into tears. With red eyes, she said emotionally, "Waaaaah, it's all my fault."

"My sister is so pitiful. I've been searching for her for so many years."

"If I could hear any news about my sister, I would give up everything I have to bring her back. Even if it costs me my life, I would do it, just so that my father could be reunited with his daughter one day."

The adopted daughter's sorrowful cries moved the two heads of the family.

The head of the Qi family wiped away tears with relief.

He patted his adopted daughter on the shoulder and sighed, "Don't say that. Over the years, you've always been just like my own daughter to me."

"I love you both, my good children, please stop crying."

Shen Bingyan watched her adopted daughter's performance with a blank expression, like a robot, her crying even more genuine than that of a celebrity.

She had long known that this woman was ruthless. Back then, when she was only in her early twenties, she was able to orchestrate Miss Qi's disappearance, which showed how deep her scheming was.

Now, more than twenty years have passed, and the entire Qi family is probably under the control of the adopted daughter.

If they knew that after Miss Qi disappeared and lost her memory, she married into the Zhou family in Luzhou by chance, and that although she was dead, she left behind a son.

I'm afraid that if this matter gets out, Zhou Yi will be assassinated by this scheming adopted daughter before he even returns to the Qi family.

As long as the adopted daughter remains, Old Master Qi cannot protect Zhou Yi...

That's why Shen Bingyan thought of secretly getting close to Zhou Yi. Only when Zhou Yi was with her, with the Shen family backing him up, could she ensure that Zhou Yi wouldn't lose to his adopted daughter.

But Zhou Yi was too love-struck, his mind was full of Su Qingjiao, that ungrateful wretch, and he was deeply in love with her.

Faced with this, Shen Bingyan could only withdraw in disappointment.

Upon hearing that the head of the Qi family had been searching for his biological daughter for over twenty years without even knowing her fate or what had happened to her, Shen Bingyan was momentarily moved.

But in the end, she held back.

She cannot reveal Zhou Yi's existence!

Otherwise, the entire Zhou family will surely perish!

The two family heads talked for a long time before the Qi family head left with his adopted daughter.

"Bingyan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? You haven't looked well."

"You should go back to your room and rest."

"Don't worry about this. I'll use all my connections to find the right person."

"I will do everything in my power to get you this miracle drug. Alas, in the end, it is your parents' genes that have dragged you down. It is your grandfather who has let you down."

After instructing Shen Bingyan to rest with a concerned expression, the head of the Shen family strode forward to the study and instructed all forces of the Shen family to search for her.

Shen Bingyan was indeed a little tired. After returning to her room, she did not lie down on the bed to rest, but instead lay down on a chair on the balcony.

When she thought of Zhou Yi, the scene of the fire that day came to mind.

At that moment, she had just run to the first step of the third floor when the laboratory on the second floor exploded again, and the scorching, surging air rushed towards her.

After gritting her teeth and taking a few steps up, Shen Bingyan finally couldn't withstand the scorching heat around her, as if it was going to melt everything.

Before she collapsed and lost consciousness, she saw Zhou Yi walking towards the door.

She opened her mouth to call out to Zhou Yi, but a voice called out before she could.

The voice was familiar; it was Su Qingjiao's voice.

She heard Su Qingjiao crying and begging Zhou Yi to save her.

Zhou Yi also stopped in his tracks at the right time.

Anyone would be utterly defeated when they encounter Su Qingjiao!

Zhou Yi will definitely save Su Qingjiao.

Thinking this way, Shen Bingyan swallowed her last plea for help. Since Zhou Yi wouldn't choose her, she didn't need to waste any more words and just let go.

only......

Just as she was about to lose consciousness, Shen Bingyan witnessed a scene she never expected.

He witnessed Zhou Yi's cruel sneer, followed by his indifferent turn and departure.

Zhou Yi didn't save Su Qingjiao!

As darkness gradually fell before her eyes, Shen Bingyan closed them with a sense of relief.

When she woke up again, she was back in Kyoto.

She only had time to see that Zhou Yi did not save Su Qingjiao.

Little did she know who had saved her after she fell into a coma.

Could it be Zhou Yi?

Shen Bingyan's heart skipped a beat, after all, Zhou Yi was walking towards her at that moment: "Could it be him? But he clearly hates me so much... How could it be..."

She quickly rejected her idea entirely.

It's certain that Zhou Yi dislikes her. He ignored her so many times, even rejected and blocked her multiple times. He's someone who wouldn't even lend a helping hand.

How could you save her in such a critical moment?
