Even after 104 chapters, I still couldn't mistake him; it really is him.

The man's deep gaze only slowly returned after Xie Nanzhi entered the elevator.

Mu Lin whispered, "Second Master, Miss Xie has also come to the capital. However, I don't recognize the man who went into the elevator with her."

Upon hearing this, Wei Chizheng's brows furrowed instinctively, and his gaze darkened further. "Go and investigate."

Mu Lin: "Okay, I'll have someone check right away. However, Dr. Brooke's appointment with you is approaching, shouldn't we head over now?"

Wei Chizheng looked again in the direction Xie Nanzhi had left, his clenched fists cracking, as if his resentment was about to burst forth.

In the end, he did nothing. "Let's go."

Brooke is Wei Chizheng's attending physician. From the moment he was diagnosed with the strange disease, Brooke has been in charge of his treatment.

Wei Chizheng underwent all the tests, and Brooke was silent when he received his test results, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Wei Chizheng roughly guessed his situation from his expression. He sat up straight and said coldly, "Just say it."

Brooke hesitated for a few seconds, his expression serious. "Second Master, your condition is not very optimistic. If possible, I hope you can be hospitalized for treatment."

Wei Chizheng knew his own health better than anyone else. He could clearly feel that his health had deteriorated recently. He fell ill after taking Xie Nanzhi to the hospital, and he didn't even have time to see her safe and sound.

Wei Chizheng's pale face was almost devoid of color, and his body temperature was far below normal. He felt like a monster.

He took out a cigarette and held it in his hand. "How much longer can I live with hospitalization?"

Brooke told the truth, "It can only extend life by up to six months."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Chizheng snapped the cigarette in his hand. His brows furrowed, and his expression darkened.

Wei Chizheng stared intently at the clouds outside the window, lost in thought. After a long while, he slowly stood up and said, "That's it."

It was more like a sense of relief than a feeling of helplessness.

Wei Chizheng refused the hospitalization option and walked forward.

Mu Lin, who was waiting outside the door, heard the conversation between the two clearly. When Wei Chi came out, he saw that Mu Lin's eyes were red.

Wei Chizheng raised an eyebrow, "Is that all the ambition you've got?"

She had been holding back her tears, but Wei Chizheng's words broke her down, and she burst into tears, crying more bitterly than anyone else.

"Second Master, I don't want anything to happen to you."

Wei Chizheng felt uneasy. He lit another cigarette, took a few deep drags, and said, "Mulin, everyone has their own destiny."

Fate gave him this script; he struggled, but ultimately could not escape the arrangement of destiny.

Ultimately, Wei Chizheng wasn't afraid of death; he was just unwilling to accept that he and Xie Nanzhi would end up like this.

Mu Lin cried and Wei Chizheng threw him a few pieces of paper.

Mu Lin wiped away his tears, sniffled, and said in a choked voice, "Second Master, we've found out the identity of the man who went into the elevator with Miss Xie. He is the founder of Boya Financial."

Wei Chizheng had heard of this person before. He used to work as an analyst at a top financial company in China. After leaving that company, he started his own financial company and became very famous in Beijing.

Wei Chizheng asked, "What's his character like?"

Mu Lin said, "Lu Zeyu is a good person. He has only had one girlfriend so far, and they broke up two years ago. He has no bad habits, and he is positive and ambitious. He has been busy with the IPO recently, but it seems to have failed. The application was rejected by the exchange."

Wei Chizheng paused slightly as he took a step forward. The cigarette butt burned his fingertip, and the slight pain brought him back to reality. "He's barely worthy of her."

Mu Lin felt heartbroken upon hearing this.

By agreeing that other men are a good match for the woman he loves most, isn't Second Master just stabbing himself in the heart?

"Mulin".

"Second Master."

Wei Chizheng continued walking slowly forward, "Try to make an appointment with Director Wang of the exchange when you have time."

Second Master was shocked. "Second Master, you don't mean to help Lu Zeyu's financial company go public, do you? What are you thinking?"

Wei Chizheng had his own ideas. If he couldn't protect Xie Nanzhi for the rest of his life, he would definitely find someone who could protect her for the rest of his life.

He can only feel at ease when she is well.

Wei Chizheng didn't say anything, but his attitude was clear.

Mu Lin couldn't be persuaded.

Second Master is good in every way, except for this love-obsessed brain of his, what can be done?

The reason why Second Master stayed in Hong Kong for so long was to help Xie Nanzhi achieve her wish, clear away all obstacles, and then leave quietly as if he had never existed.

Two weeks ago, Xie Nanzhi's contact information was blocked by him. It wasn't that he asked for it, but Wei Chizheng couldn't bear to do it himself, so he asked him to do it for him.

...

Lu Zeyu escorted Xie Nanzhi to the door but did not go in. To him, it was very impolite to casually enter a woman's room.

He offered, "Ms. Nan, may I have your contact information?"

Xie Nanzhi couldn't find a reason to refuse this request.

The two exchanged contact information, and Lu Zeyu waved goodbye, saying, "Goodbye, Miss Nan."

Goodbye, Mr. Lu.

Seeing Lu Zeyu walk away, Xie Nanzhi closed the door.

After a long day, she took a hot shower, changed into clean clothes, and settled into bed to rest.

I fell asleep without even realizing it.

Xie Nanzhi didn't sleep soundly. In her dream, she saw Wei Chizheng standing by her bedside, covered in blood, saying goodbye to her.

Xie Nanzhi tried to grab his hand and hurriedly jumped off the bed, but missed.

Xie Nanzhi was startled awake. She glanced at the time and saw it was only a little past two in the morning.

After that, I wanted to sleep, but I just couldn't fall asleep.

The next day, Xie Nanzhi originally planned to go to Danqing Academy to find her senior brother, but he had something come up and wouldn't be back until tomorrow at the earliest, so she couldn't see him today. She stayed in the hotel for the whole day.

That evening, Lu Zeyu wanted to treat them to dinner as a gesture of hospitality. When Xie Nanzhi received Catherine's call, they were already downstairs at the hotel, giving Xie Nanzhi no chance to refuse.

She quickly changed her clothes, put on some simple makeup, and went downstairs.

Lu Zeyu was waiting for her in the hotel lobby. When Xie Nanzhi came out, his eyes lit up. "Miss Nan, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."

His generous praise made Xie Nanzhi feel embarrassed. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she smiled faintly, "Mr. Lu, let's go."

Lu Zeyu looked at her gently, "Okay."

Lu Zeyu was a native of Beijing, and he took the two of them to a famous local restaurant.

The three of them were traveling together, and before they even reached the private room, Catherine suddenly clutched her stomach. "Oh my god, my stomach hurts so much. I'm going to the restroom. You guys go upstairs first. Xiaoyu, take good care of Nanzhi."

Lu Zeyu made an OK sign, while Catherine ran towards the restroom.

Now there are only two people left. Xie Nanzhi and Lu Zeyu are not familiar with each other, so walking together alone feels inexplicably awkward.

It was Lu Zeyu who broke the silence first, "Miss Nan, let's go upstairs first."

Xie Nanzhi nodded. "Mm."

As the two went upstairs, Lu Zeyu maintained a comfortable distance from Xie Nanzhi, neither too close nor too far.

Finally upstairs, Xie Nanzhi and Lu Zeyu walked side by side, chatting about something interesting.

Just then, a few people walked towards us.

Lu Zeyu's eyes lit up with joy, while Xie Nanzhi, on the contrary, fixed her beautiful eyes on the tall man not far away.
