Chapter 149 Niannian, Can You Love Me Again?
A spot in a dense forest.
Lu Lie watched the helicopter disappear into the distance, his deep eyes churning with endless hatred.
He lost Gu Xingnian again, hoping that Fu Beichen could rescue her.
At least, the antidote is ruined.
Fu Beichen definitely won't last ten days.
He began to anticipate the actions Gu Xingnian might take; she would definitely try to reconstitute the antidote.
But that's simply impossible.
Time doesn't allow it.
Therefore, her most likely choice is to take Fu Beichen to the Bluebird Laboratory in Country F.
Or, in the guise of N God, he could gather the world's top biologists to jointly develop that reagent.
Perhaps, it really can revive Fu Beichen from the ashes.
He needs to make some preparations in advance.
He wants Fu Beichen to die a horrible death this time!
To extract the antidote, two things are indispensable—the Seven-Colored Brocade and the Nine Heavens Warmth that the old man keeps on the mountain.
If any one of them is destroyed, Fu Beichen will not be able to completely eliminate the neurotoxins and will die of heart failure.
Ten days was the span of Fu Beichen's entire life.
A cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips, his voice icy and chilling.
"Take the old man with you, we're preparing to return to F country."
Sure enough, the person who knows you best will either be your greatest ally or the one who will stab you in the most fatal wound.
Unsurprisingly, the people Fu Beichen sent to pick up the old gentleman arrived empty-handed.
Lu Lie, that cunning rabbit, had long been on guard.
When the news reached Fu Beichen, the atmosphere around him was frighteningly low, and his expression was so gloomy it could drip water.
It was at that moment that Gu Xingnian woke up.
She slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was Fu Beichen's incomparably handsome face.
He was sitting right next to her, his large hand holding her small one tightly, as if afraid she might suddenly disappear.
A pair of clear and bright eyes met his deep gaze.
"Niannian, you're awake! Is anything bothering you?" he exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Xingnian felt a sharp pain in her right hand, and suddenly, as if she had been pricked by a needle, she sat up abruptly.
"The antidote! Have you gotten the antidote?" she asked urgently.
Fu Beichen looked at her, stretched out his long arm, and pulled her back into his embrace, resting his chin on the top of her head as he softly comforted her.
"I've already drunk it, don't worry."
She didn't believe it and eagerly reached out to check his wounds.
After just one glance, her face instantly fell, all color draining from her eyes.
"The poison hasn't been cured at all, has it?" Her voice trembled, and despair crept into her heart little by little.
There's no solution at all!
She looked down at her carefully wrapped right hand again. "The test tube... I crushed the test tube? Did I?"
She frowned slightly, and her eyes quickly reddened.
The antidote is gone.
Fu Beichen... she couldn't save him.
Fu Beichen tenderly stroked her head, reassuring her repeatedly, "Don't be afraid, I won't die, there will definitely be a way."
His voice was deep and firm, carrying a convincing power.
That's right, his people had already started taking action, contacting top biologists around the world.
Although they are not as good as N God.
However, by pooling everyone's wisdom and strength, we can definitely race against time!
Lin Qi walked in carrying a bowl of congee.
Fu Beichen took it, carefully blew on it, and then sat on the edge of the bed, feeding her spoonful by spoonful.
His movements were extremely gentle, and his eyes were full of affection, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world.
Gu Xingnian had little appetite and only managed to eat a small half bowl before shaking her head.
"I don't want to eat anymore."
"Okay." He didn't insist. "Then you should rest a bit more."
He helped her lie down again, tucked her in, and then got up and left the room.
Lin Qi stood outside the door, and Fu Beichen said coldly, "Send someone to the airport. We absolutely cannot let Lu Lie escape. I will make him pay the price."
"Yes." Lin Qi nodded.
"Contact Qinglin and have him investigate thoroughly what Niannian went through four years ago. I need to know every single detail."
From Lu Lie's words, he vaguely sensed that the crisis Nian Nian experienced four years ago seemed to be related to him.
He would never let her be in danger again, no matter what; he couldn't bear the thought of losing her.
He was unaware that he had already fallen deeply in love.
Lin Qi nodded again, then suddenly reported, "I received news today that Wang Huilan has been released on bail."
Fu Beichen asked angrily, "Who did this?"
"The Bai family in the capital. It seems the Bai family has been secretly searching for a lost young daughter, and it appears Wang Huilan knows some clues."
This statement contained a lot of information, but it ignited a glimmer of hope in Fu Beichen's eyes.
"The only people who can be associated with Wang Huilan are Jiang Kexin and Gu Xingnian."
Lin Qi was startled. "Mr. Fu, do you mean that your wife is very likely to be..."
Fu Beichen was silent for a few seconds. "Send someone to investigate this matter secretly. The Bai family in the capital is deeply entrenched and involves too many people. Don't let Madam know about it yet."
"Okay." Lin Qi nodded in understanding, then asked, "You haven't eaten all day, dinner is ready."
Fu Beichen strode downstairs and suddenly said, "I want to make a cake."
Lin Qi: "..."
Is Mr. Fu addicted to making cakes?
Suddenly, an image flashed in his mind: himself standing in a bakery greeting customers, "Welcome! Fu's cakes are freshly baked today."
A group of brightly dressed women rushed in, shouting that they wanted to buy the one that President Fu made himself...
Lin Qi shivered on the spot.
"Boom!" A loud explosion rang out from the direction of Maduri Castle, and a flash of fire appeared in the dark sky.
It seemed poised to shatter the night.
Indeed, by this time, Maduri had undergone a complete transformation, and the wealthy district had been taken over by Zhan Xiao.
At 1 a.m. yesterday, Fu Beichen and Zhan Xiao, working together from the inside and outside, staged a brilliant feint attack.
Only the forces of the Warlords could so easily breach the impregnable Los Castle.
In the chaos, Mr. Xi was shot and killed.
At this moment, Zhan Xiao was leading his men in a thorough search of the castle to eliminate any remaining members of the Xi clan.
There are two things he must find in order to rightfully take over the entire Maduri district.
First, the Heavenly Fire Dagger.
One hundred years ago, Maduri fell into chaos. A general, wielding this dagger, quelled the war and established Maduri as an independent small country. Later, the small country split, and the largest city became the present-day Maduri.
This dagger symbolizes supreme power and prestige.
Secondly, the treasury to the west.
That place holds the wealth of the entire Maduli region, and it must never be allowed to leave.
Only after completing these two tasks can he truly retire successfully.
At that moment, his men brought over a woman.
It's Xinuo.
Xinuo watched Zhan Xiao walk towards him step by step, followed by four burly bodyguards.
This man, powerful like an emperor reigning over the world, instantly brightened her previously dim eyes.
She spoke, her voice carrying a subtle hint of allure.
"Mr. Zhan, don't waste your time."
"You won't find that dagger. Your brother has put it in a very safe place."
She paused, then a meaningful smile curved her red lips.
"However, I can help you."
Zhan Xiao stopped and his gaze fell on the beautiful woman in front of him.
Beautiful as she may be, she is like a venomous snake, exuding a deadly aura.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of inquiry in them. "Miss Xi, we can talk."
He only gave me a look.
His subordinates immediately understood and released their grip on Xinuo.
Xinuo straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, walked gracefully to him, and breathed sweetly.
"That depends on Mr. Zhan's sincerity."
She boldly reached out, her fingertips lightly tracing the cold, hard silver mask on his face.
The sensation beneath her fingertips stirred something within her.
The old saying is true.
To conquer a man is to conquer a city.
Zhan Xiao's eyes darkened for a moment, then he suddenly bent down, picked her up, and carried her into the castle...
Hearing the explosion, Gu Xingnian got out of bed and stood by the window, looking at the orange-red sky, seemingly deep in thought.
Suddenly, she quickly picked up her phone and dialed a number.
Indeed, her thoughts coincided with Fu Beichen's.
She wants to invite the world's top biological experts to come to Maduri immediately to help her refine the antidote!
She made three phone calls in different languages to these three people, who were talents she had always valued.
With their help, we will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
She then called Xia Yuan, asking her to prepare the raw materials and to be responsible for airlifting all the most advanced equipment from the laboratory.
For her, staying in Maduri is far safer than returning to France at this moment.
Country F was the place where Lu Lie's foundation lay.
This time, she wouldn't allow any more mishaps with the antidote!
After explaining everything, she went for a walk in the garden.
Winter has arrived, and the temperature difference between day and night is significant. Gusts of cold wind cause the lilies in the garden to sway wildly, dispersing their fragrance, yet their sweet scent still lingers along the path.
She walked up to the green lily and saw a single drop of dark blood on one of the inner petals.
She gently stroked the dried blood and guessed why Fu Beichen was not there that night.
My heart feels heavy and painful.
"Niannian." A familiar voice came from behind.
She turned around.
He walked out from among the flowers, holding a cake, a slight smile playing on his lips. The wind ruffled his hair, making it look messy and unruly.
The candlelight illuminated his handsome face, making it appear vivid and lifelike.
"That night, I said I would celebrate your birthday again, but I broke my promise. So I made another cake to celebrate it for you one more time."
He placed the cake on the table and then led her over.
Gu Xingnian looked at the cake, which had a lily drawn on it, and the words "My Nian Nian" were written on it in dark chocolate.
She couldn't help but complain, "It's really ugly."
"Its unique ugliness is also its value." He laughed nonchalantly and urged, "Quick, make a wish!"
Gu Xingnian did not make a wish, but smiled calmly, "If wishes could be fulfilled, there would be no so much suffering in the world."
Suddenly, the wind blew out the candle.
Fu Beichen took her hand, his face serious. "Gu Xingnian, listen carefully. No matter what happens in the future, don't hurt yourself."
"When you went to grab the antidote and fell into the sea, I was terrified."
"Thankfully, you're safe and sound, but I... I'm really scared!"
"You are God N, your life belongs to everyone in the world, and you cannot..."
Suddenly, a trickle of liquid flowed from his nasal cavity, and he paused.
Gu Xingnian frowned and immediately reached out her left hand to press down on his nose.
He took a deep breath and continued, "Niannian, can you love me one more time?"
Even if it's only for ten days...
His loving gaze was fixed on her, his voice pleading.
He had given her away once before, but this time, he didn't want to let her go.
He's selfish, but... in case... he doesn't want to leave with regrets.
Blood seeped from between her fingers, then slid down the back of her hand, drop by drop, and fell to the ground.
It burned her eyes.
