Lin Mo sighed, "I know I can't convince you, but I won't give up, Wanwan. I still want to take you away from this place of trouble, no matter what."

Qiao Wanwan said nonchalantly, "You can't change me, and I can't change you, so do as you please. As long as you don't affect me, I don't care."

The conversation ended unhappily once again. After getting into the car, Lin Mo didn't rush to leave. Instead, he sat quietly in his seat, lit a cigarette, and slowly smoked it.

His phone suddenly rang, and he swiped to answer it. "Speak."

"The matter you asked me to investigate has been resolved. Zhan Jingting was indeed not faking it. Judging from the extent to which his attending physician obtained medication from the hospital, his condition is indeed quite serious."

"I see."

"What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood."

Lin Mo took a deep drag on his cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring. "Wanwan has changed. It's probably because Zhan Jingting's blow to her was too great. She's become a completely different person."

Ji Xingzhou smiled and said, "I just don't understand why you like that girl so much."

You don't understand.

"I don't understand, is love and romance really that important? So important that you'd go against Zhan Jingting?"

There is always that one person in this world who can make you disregard everything.

"Alright, alright, alright..." Ji Xingzhou got goosebumps all over. "It's so cheesy, no need to say any more."

Lin Mo bit the cigarette butt, "It's just a pity that she will never understand what she means to me, nor how deep my feelings for her have become."

Ji Xingzhou said seriously, "Lin Mo, we've been brothers for so many years. Let me give you a piece of advice: there are plenty of women in this world. Don't get too entangled and ruin yourself. I'm against you going against Zhan Jingting, but you're stubborn and I can't stop you. I can only agree to your request. I don't even dare to think about the final outcome."

"Don't worry, you've never been involved in this matter, and I won't let anything happen to you. You just need to help me with some minor things in secret."

"I'm not afraid of getting involved with you, but I feel it's not worth it for a woman."

You don't understand.

“I really don’t understand,” Ji Xingzhou said. “You’re in a bad mood, why don’t you come out for a drink to relax?”

"I'm not going. Drinking will affect my thinking." Lin Mo stubbed out his cigarette. "I just need some peace and quiet."

"I really can't be bothered to talk to you anymore, I'm hanging up."

Lin Mo hung up the phone, lit another cigarette, and the taste of nicotine gradually cleared his mind.

She took a drag of her cigarette, then suddenly turned to look at the distance and saw a figure immediately hide in the shadows.

Lin Mo smiled, picked up her phone again, and made a call.

The other party answered quickly, "Go ahead."

Lin Mo provocatively said, "Zhan Jingting, you must hate me to death, right? Don't you wish you could have someone kill me right now?"

"You deserve to die."

"Too bad, you can't do anything to me. Tell your dog to stay away from me. If you dare to stare at me again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"You wouldn't dare," the man on the other end of the phone said calmly. "It's not that I don't want to divorce Wanwan, it's that she doesn't want to. So it's useless for you to force me, and you don't dare to force her either, because she'll easily notice. You don't even dare to threaten me with her safety, because you're afraid she'll find out she's been poisoned."

Lin Mo's eyes flashed with hostility. "Zhan Jingting, you're quite pleased with yourself, aren't you?"

“I’m not smug, because so far, we’re both losers, and even Wanwan is. You can’t possibly not see the change in her, Lin Mo. Is this really how you show your love for Wanwan?”

"You don't need to say things like that to me!" Lin Mo suppressed his anger, but his voice still rose unconsciously as he spoke, word by word, "If it weren't for your appearance, would Wanwan be like this now? Zhan Jingting, you really shouldn't have appeared in Wanwan's life."

"I don't want to discuss this topic with you anymore," Zhan Jingting said calmly. "Now I only hope that Wanwan doesn't become extreme, doesn't lose faith in life and humanity, and can continue to be the warm and kind Qiao Wanwan."

"Zhan Jingting, you've only known Wanwan for a few days. Do you really think you know her well?" Lin Mo closed his eyes and warned, "I'll say it again, you must divorce Wanwan at any cost, or I don't mind fighting to the death!"

After Lin Mo finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately.

On the other end, Zhan Jingting casually tossed his phone onto the desk and pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Master Zhan, the current situation isn’t entirely without its advantages for us,” Jiang Dong said. “At least you and your wife haven’t divorced yet, and the medical team is working hard to develop an antidote. Once there’s a breakthrough, you can tell your wife the truth.”

"Do you think Lin Mo is someone to be trifled with? You'll end up with nothing after all this trouble, and you'll only end up getting yourself killed?" Zhan Jingting said coldly. "If he dared to make a move, he must have been fully prepared. Never underestimate a mad dog."

Jiang Dong nodded. "Yes, I've got it."

“But you’re right about one thing: at least Wanwan and I aren’t divorced yet.” Zhan Jingting opened his eyes. “Go and rest. We still have a tough battle to fight.”

"yes."

......

The next day, Qiao Wanwan went to school on time. When she was leaving school in the evening, Lin Mo called her over and said, "Wanwan, I'll take you home."

“Okay.” Qiao Wanwan smiled. “I’ll go to Wutong Bay; it’s just a short taxi ride away.”

Lin Mo frowned. "What are you going to Wutong Bay for?"

"Have you forgotten what I told you last night? If I want everything from Zhan Jingting, I will naturally go back and kill him."

"Wanwan, are you crazy? Do you really think Zhan Jingting is so easy to deal with? Even if there were ten of you, you wouldn't be a match for him, let alone one of you."

How will you know if you don't try?

"Wanwan, don't be willful."

Qiao Wanwan tugged at the bag on her shoulder. "I was just saying that, I didn't mean for you to actually drive me. I'll take a taxi."

"Wanwan!" Lin Mo tried to catch up, but Qiao Wanwan quickly got into the car and drove away.

The taxi stopped at Wutong Bay. As soon as Qiao Wanwan got out of the car, the bodyguard on duty at the gate greeted her, "Madam, you're back."

"Yes," Qiao Wanwan asked, "Is Zhan Jingting here?"

"Master Zhan is at home."

"Prepare the car and take me inside."

"yes."

When Qiao Wanwan entered the villa, Zheng Ma was serving tea to the man in the living room. She exclaimed with delight, "Madam is back!"

The man in the wheelchair paused, then slowly turned to look at her. "Why are you here?"

Qiao Wanwan walked to the living room and sat down, saying calmly, "We're not divorced yet, why can't I come?"

"Wanwan, what exactly do you want?"

Qiao Wanwan tilted her head. "You'll find out soon enough."

The atmosphere froze. Zhan Jingting remained silent, as if deep in thought. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Qiao Wanwan, you cannot appear here."
