Chapter 162 He chose to leave

Gu Xingnian lay on the bed, her face pale and devoid of any color.

"Doctor, how is it?" Fu Beichen's voice was dry and hoarse, with a tremor he himself was unaware of.

The doctor adjusted his glasses, his expression serious.

"Mr. Fu, your wife has severe anemia, and coupled with overwork, her body is severely depleted."

Fu Beichen's heart clenched. "Then what are we waiting for? Quickly, give her a blood transfusion!"

His tone was firm and decisive, carrying an unquestionable command.

The doctor shook his head with a troubled expression.

"Mr. Fu, we have done all the routine tests. Your wife's blood is very special. It has a severe rejection reaction with all the blood types in the blood bank."

"Forcing her to receive a blood transfusion would be tantamount to killing her."

Every word the doctor said was like a heavy hammer, striking Fu Beichen's heart hard.

"Currently... we can only rely on dietary supplements to slowly recover." The doctor paused, his tone becoming even more serious.

"From now on, remember not to let her bleed so easily again."

"Even if she gets pregnant and gives birth in the future, if she suffers severe bleeding, the consequences would be unimaginable."

It's unthinkable.

Fu Beichen's fingertips dug into his palm, leaving several pale crescent-shaped marks.

He was the one who hurt her time and time again, and stubbornly used his own blood to forcibly cure her of the poison.

It felt like an invisible hand was gripping my heart, and it hurt!

In the end, the struggle in his eyes faded, and he made a decision against his will.

...

The study was filled with smoke.

The thick smell of smoke was almost solidified, making it hard to breathe.

Fu Beichen stood alone by the window, puffing out smoke as he spoke to Lin Qi behind him.

Lin Qi took notes and nodded as he spoke, and the conversation finally ended after a long time.

"Do you understand everything I told you?" he asked again.

"I...I understand everything, Mr. Fu." Lin Qi nodded frantically, his eyes red as a rabbit's.

"President Fu, are you... are you sure you really want to do this?"

"If Madam... if she finds out, she might..."

They might hate you!

"Stop talking nonsense."

Fu Beichen's face instantly turned cold, his previous sadness completely hidden, leaving only icy indifference.

"Do as I say, get out!"

Lin Qi didn't dare linger and quickly did the first thing.

The news about Fu Beichen's poisoning has been circulating for three whole days.

The whole world is watching the Fu Group's movements and Fu Beichen's life or death, causing Fu Group's stock price to fluctuate wildly.

Just then, the official account of the Fu Group released a video.

In the video, Fu Beichen appears in front of the camera.

He was dressed in a sharp suit, with a handsome face, though his complexion was somewhat pale, but his eyes were still unsettlingly deep.

The video content is concise, but the meaning is very clear.

He told the world that the Fu family's legal team was never a pushover.

From this minute forward, any media outlet that dares to spread rumors about the Fu family will be held accountable according to the law.

Hopefully, their pockets can handle it.

After this video was released, all the media outlets that had previously reposted or discussed Fu Beichen's health condition fell silent.

The backend was frantically deleting posts, afraid of being a step too slow.

As always, President Fu was ruthless and domineering. Who would dare to question whether President Fu was a dying man?

Meanwhile, in Country F, at the headquarters of the Lu family.

Lu Lie stared at the man still alive on the giant screen, his eyes blazing with anger.

He couldn't understand it.

It's been a month already, how come Fu Beichen is still not dead?

That's impossible!

F2 neurotoxin is so potent that no one can withstand it for more than a month. The last time I almost killed him was because he went blind; the poison in his body must still be active.

Cheng Xinyao walked in, running right into the line of fire.

Lu Lie turned around abruptly and roared at her, "You gave Jiutian Nuan to her!"

Cheng Xinyao said calmly, "No, they were all burned, not a single one was left."

Lu Lie approached her, his eyes filled with scrutiny and warning. "I hope you haven't betrayed me."

Cheng Xinyao suddenly spoke up.

"Senior brother, do you know why Fu Beichen is still alive?"

She looked at him, each word clear and distinct.

"As you know, Senior Sister's blood can detoxify, although it can't detoxify neurotoxins. However, she has been using her own blood to prolong Fu Beichen's life."

She paused, then asked him in return, "How long do you think Senior Sister can hold on? How long will it take for her blood to run out?"

"Senior brother, you are indirectly trying to kill senior sister."

"Is this situation even possible to resolve?"

Lu Lie's pupils contracted sharply.

No.

That's impossible!

She wouldn't hurt herself like that, and she couldn't!

"Get out!" he roared.

After Cheng Xinyao left, the huge office was deathly silent.

He recalled what she had said that night on the mountain.

"When you love someone, you accept their vulnerability and imperfections, and you are willing to give everything. You trust each other, grow together, and have the meaning and courage to transcend yourself in life."

"I would shed tears for him, sing for him, and even be fearless enough to die with him."

She wanted to die with him?

He seemed to have all his strength drained away in an instant, and collapsed heavily onto the sofa.

The next day, Gu Xingnian woke up feeling like she had slept for a long time and had a very long dream.

Lin Qi knocked on the door and came in, carrying soup and tonics.

He was dressed in a black suit and had a solemn expression.

After putting the soup down, he earnestly told her that the work in the lab was finished, all the PhD students had been given generous compensation, and someone had been arranged to take them to the airport.

Gu Xingnian's heart sank suddenly. She threw off the covers, got out of bed, and made as if to leave.

Lin Qi added, "President Fu has already left Maduri. He asked me to take you back to Haicheng to recuperate."

His voice was flat, devoid of any emotion.

"Where is he going? The poison in his body hasn't been cured at all, where is he going?" Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried a sharp, accusatory tone.

Lin Qi's eyes darted away, and he didn't answer her question.

He took a small USB drive out of his pocket and handed it over.

"This is... left for you by President Fu."

He paused, then added, "Miss Xia and Mr. Ling are downstairs."

Gu Xingnian took the USB drive, put on a coat, and turned to walk downstairs.

She talked with Xia Yuan and Ling Zhe for a while before having someone take them to the airport.

After they left, the entire villa instantly became empty.

She plugged the USB drive into the computer; it contained a compilation of videos of him and her attending a wedding banquet.

He and she stood together under the sacred tree, receiving the blessing from the grandmother, and there were scenes of them dancing together and receiving toasts together.

The screen was filled with laughter and joy; it was so beautiful, it felt like happiness was overflowing.

All the cameras were pointed at them; it seemed like this was their wedding.

Lin Qi's voice rang out at the right moment, "Madam, actually, this is your wedding with President Fu. President Fu planned all of this especially for you."

"Just to make up for the regret from three years ago."

She turned to look at him in shock. "What did you say?"

"Mr. Fu said he wants to truly marry you once, which is the most sacred wedding in Maduri."

Lin Qi opened a wooden box, on which was an exquisite marriage certificate stamped with a red seal.

The message printed on it reads: Bride from the rich area: Gu Xingnian; Groom from the poor area: Fu Beichen; A century-long promise, with the divine tree as matchmaker and heaven and earth as witness.

She took it, looked at it carefully, and suddenly smiled, a single tear rolling down her cheek...
