Chapter 15: Obsessive Childhood Sweetheart's Forced Pampering - A Terrifying Nightmare

At the same time, Gu Shanshan, who was sitting on the plane, suddenly opened her eyes, not knowing what she was dreaming about.

A pair of once bright eyes were now filled with panic.

Gu Shanshan's movements were a bit too large, and Jiang Ziheng, who was a light sleeper, woke up almost immediately.

When he woke up and saw Gu Shanshan's pale face, a pang of heartache swept over him.

"Shanshan, how are you? Are you alright?"

Jiang Ziheng saw that Gu Shanshan's face was pale and cold, and her forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.

I asked the flight attendant for a warm towel and carefully wiped the sweat from my forehead.

Looking at Gu Shanshan with worried eyes, he asked, "Shanshan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? You look so pale. Should I ask if there's a doctor on the plane and have them take a look at you?"

"No."

Gu Shanshan noticed that Jiang Ziheng was looking around, as if he was about to go find a doctor.

He quickly stopped the person, not wanting Jiang Ziheng to worry too much.

He shook his head. "I'm fine, I'm perfectly healthy, I just had a nightmare."

Even now that she's awake, Gu Shanshan still feels a terrible sense of panic when she thinks about that nightmare.

In his dream, he dreamt that he had failed to escape with Jiang Ziheng.

At the airport, they were both caught, and Jiang Ziheng was beaten to death by Gong Ye's men right in front of him.

He himself was captured by Gong Ye and taken back to the Gong family villa.

He was tied to the bed by Gong Ye, and his legs were broken with a wooden stick.

Later in the story, Gong Ye didn't play with him for more than a few years before getting tired of him.

He was thrown to others by Gong Ye, who sat high and mighty in a chair, watching him being played to death with a sinister expression.

Even after his death, his remains were not preserved intact.

His soul floated in mid-air, watching helplessly as Gong Ye ordered his men to send his body into the crematorium. After the ashes were burned, they were divided into several parts, and a ritual was performed to scatter them in different countries, ensuring that he would not find peace even in death.

Terrifying, Gong Ye is absolutely terrifying.

How can there be such a domineering and perverted man in the world?

Gu Shanshan gritted her teeth and asked the system in her brain.

[007, when exactly will this Gong Ye die? Why does he always interfere with my missions?]

He was just trying to offer warmth and help his target, Jiang Ziheng, fall in love. Why did Gong Ye suddenly appear out of nowhere?

This caused a level 10 difficulty in his task progress.

Before 007 could speak, Gu Shanshan continued.

[007, check quickly, how much corruption value does the target have left? I want to know when I can leave this damned world.]

He was truly afraid that before he could complete his mission, he would be captured by Gong Ye and tortured to death, just like in his dream.

He can't afford to offend him, so he'll just avoid him.

He refused to believe that Gong Ye would be able to find him after he had taken his target to this remote little country.

007 can answer this without even checking.

[Host, your target's corruption level remains at 100%, not even decreasing by 0.01%.]

007 felt that he had made his hints clear enough.

It was almost as if a loudspeaker was blaring into Gu Shanshan's ear, shouting, "Host, wake up! You've got the wrong target!"

However, being a good system that didn't want to be punished by the God System again, he dared not cheat this time.

Otherwise, its year-end performance evaluation will be ruined.

【impossible! 】

Gu Shanshan immediately roared at the system, "[007, open your eyes wide and look carefully! The target sitting next to me is looking at me with eyes full of love, and I've also expressed my feelings for him. How could my 'darkening value' not decrease with such clear gestures of kindness? Your system's detection must be malfunctioning!]"

007 is tired.

[Host, I have no reason to lie to you. Please, please keep trying! If possible, go to the optician to see if you've recently developed nearsightedness.]

Gu Shanshan frowned. "[007, my eyesight is 5.2. I'll never become nearsighted in my life.]"

007 fell silent. It really wanted to say: Yes, you can't possibly be nearsighted. Your eyes are not nearsighted, they're just blind. Such a big villain with an overflowing level of evil delivered himself to your door, and you still mistook him for someone else and ran away. What else could you be but blind?

However, it dared not say so.

All I could do was offer this advice: "Host, you'd better pray for yourself."

After saying that, fearing that Gu Shanshan might ask him questions and he might have accidentally let something slip, he quickly logged off and disappeared.

Gu Shanshan was filled with unanswered questions, and could only curse the system in her heart.

He looked at the person next to him, his eyes filled with unease.

She was biting her lip, seemingly lost in thought.

Jiang Ziheng is such a good person, he doesn't seem like a villain with a full range of dark tendencies at all.

Was he hiding it too well? Or was Jiang Ziheng deliberately concealing his dark side from me?

A jumble of thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, and suddenly, a ridiculous idea popped into Gu Shanshan's head.

still......

Did I mistake someone else for someone else?

Her target was not Jiang Ziheng at all.

It was someone else.

Who could it be?

Palace Night!

Realizing what she was thinking, Gu Shanshan's already pale face turned even more deathly pale, devoid of any color.

Jiang Ziheng was startled again, his brows furrowing tightly into a deep frown.

"Shanshan, if you feel unwell, you must tell me. Don't try to bear it all alone."

Gu Shanshan shook her head in a daze.

I rubbed my throbbing head and realized how ridiculous my idea was.

Given the childhood sweetheart dynamic and the fact that only Jiang Ziheng actively appeared by his side, the only one who fits this description is Jiang Ziheng.

How could he possibly admit his mistake?

As for Gong Ye, in the memories he received, she seemed completely unimportant, which did not fit the childhood sweetheart setting at all.

His recent thought was just scaring himself.

How could it be Gong Ye!

It must be because he was staying by Gong Ye's side for a while and was in that high-pressure environment that he scared himself into having problems.

Gu Shanshan took two deep breaths to suppress the strange thought in her heart.

Yes, he must be mistaken; he hasn't admitted his mistake.

Jiang Ziheng has been so good to him, so he must be good to Jiang Ziheng in return.

I need to finish the mission as soon as possible, pack up quickly, and head to the next world.

He never wanted to see Gong Ye again.

He gave Jiang Ziheng a reassuring smile and made up an excuse.

"Aheng, don't worry, I'm really fine. I'm just a little unaccustomed to the long flight."

Gu Shanshan remained silent, and Jiang Ziheng didn't dare to ask too many questions, which made Gu Shanshan unhappy.

But looking at his purplish lips, the panic in his eyes, and the way he was shivering with cold, I could tell he was a livid man.

It's exactly as he said, nothing's wrong.

Jiang Ziheng was still worried. "Shanshan, let's go to the hospital to check on her as soon as we get off the plane. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."

Gu Shanshan nodded. "Okay."

Only he himself knew that there was really nothing wrong with his body.

The problem is his heart.

Jiang Ziheng asked the flight attendant for another blanket and covered Gu Shanshan with it.

She gently comforted her, "Shanshan, the plane will land in about three hours. Just bear with it a little longer, take another nap, and we'll be there when you wake up."

Gu Shanshan nodded obediently, "Okay."

Seeing how worried Jiang Ziheng was about her, she felt guilty.

"Aheng, don't frown. I'm really fine. There are still three hours left. You should rest too."

Gu Shanshan's concern for him made Jiang Ziheng very happy.

He gave Gu Shanshan a bright and handsome smile, "Shanshan, I'll listen to you, but you have to close your eyes first. I can only feel at ease when I see you asleep."

Jiang Ziheng is always like this, using his sincere heart to say the most beautiful love words.

Gu Shanshan blushed, "Then I'll close my eyes and go to sleep."

Under Jiang Ziheng's gentle gaze, Gu Shanshan obediently closed her eyes.

This place is so far from where Gong Ye is, what is there for him to panic about?

Don't scare yourself. He has successfully escaped and Gong Ye can't find him.

Trying to suppress the inexplicable unease in her heart, Gu Shanshan wrapped herself in two blankets and slowly fell asleep.

......

Three hours later, the plane landed in country D.

Country D is indeed, as Jiang Ziheng said, economically backward.

This can be seen from the airport's facilities.

Because of the underdeveloped transportation, the entire country of D only has this one airport. The rudimentary airport is like a noisy train station, with people everywhere.

Jiang Ziheng was worried that Gu Shanshan wouldn't be used to it and didn't want her to go with him to crowded places.

"Shanshan, you go wait outside first. I'll go get our luggage, and we'll meet at the exit."

After getting off the plane, he offered to go get his luggage by himself and asked Gu Shanshan to wait for him outside at the exit.

There's only one exit at this airport, so you won't get lost.

Gu Shanshan nodded in agreement, "Okay, Ah Heng, hurry back, I'll wait for you outside."

The two parted ways in the crowded throng.

Jiang Ziheng went to get his luggage, while Gu Shanshan waited outside.

When they reached the exit, Gu Shanshan looked inside and could initially see Jiang Ziheng's back.

But with people coming and going at the airport, Jiang Ziheng's figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Gu Shanshan felt uneasy whenever she couldn't see Jiang Ziheng, as if something bad was about to happen.

He was a little scared.

He craned his neck, peering into the crowd, trying to find Jiang Ziheng.

He didn't even notice when someone came up behind him.

When someone covered her mouth with a wet towel from behind, she had no chance to resist.

The wet towel was covered in ether. Gu Shanshan was caught off guard and inhaled it. She struggled a few times, but quickly lost her strength.

Her body went limp, she closed her eyes and fainted, falling into the arms of the person behind her.
