It was almost dawn by then. She took a shower, hoping to get some sleep, but lying in bed, she just couldn't fall asleep.
She didn't want to reveal it; few people would believe such a magical artifact even if she told them, but once it was confirmed to be real, it would attract countless covetous eyes.
An individual's strength is limited. Even though Meng Fuyan came from a good background, she still did not think she was invincible. On the contrary, she always carefully protected her secret.
Having witnessed power, she was terrified of it. When she first guessed that Gu Tingzhi possessed that spatial ability, she didn't want to know at all, wanting to leave herself a way out.
Not born into a family obsessed with romance, she has always been reserved about love and would never use love to challenge human nature.
If one day her relationship with Gu Tingzhi runs into problems, the secret of the space will become the biggest threat.
But today, she was still exposed.
She had only wanted to keep her secret and live her own little life, content to stay in her own little world forever. But today, seeing Gu Tingzhi desperately trying to save those people, seeing how these seemingly weak scholars could calmly face death for their country, she simply couldn't stand by and watch.
If she were to just watch them die this time, she probably wouldn't be able to get over it for the rest of her life.
But offering help would mean being exposed.
Gu Tingzhi is so smart, he'll definitely be able to guess it.
Meng Fuyan sighed deeply. They'd already come this far; what should they do next?
Leave him? Run away? Deny it?
Or, should we part ways here and go far away?
Living in fear and anxiety is not her style.
As dawn broke and the sun rose, the room was filled with sunlight. Meng Fuyan couldn't sleep, so she made up her mind to go all out and make the most of the space.
What she fears is that she has no power or influence and cannot protect her own safety!
What if she had the ability to protect herself?
Why was she never worried that Gu Tingzhi's spatial ability would be exposed? It was simply because she believed that Gu Tingzhi was capable of protecting himself.
It seems her plans have changed. She can no longer just think about doing some business and making some money; she has to climb higher and work hard to build her career.
Meng Fuyan's mind raced, and after thinking for a long time, she finally understood. Feeling refreshed, she quickly fell asleep.
Gu Tingzhi woke up that afternoon and found himself perfectly fine, lying peacefully in his hospital bed at home. He was stunned for a long time before he could react.
The sunlight outside the window was bright, and he could clearly feel its warmth. He was very familiar with the layout of the room; it was a hospital room that had been specially set up in his home.
Fu Chaosheng stayed by his side. When he saw that he was awake, his usually stern face immediately broke into a smile. "Boss, you're awake!"
"Doctor! Doctor!"
He hurriedly called for a doctor, who arrived quickly. Gu Tingzhi was a little dazed. He did nothing and said nothing. The doctor examined him and said that he was fine, the bullet had been removed, and he just needed to rest for a while.
After the doctors left, Gu Tingzhi remained lying there, his mind replaying the last fragments of his memory.
At that time, in a laboratory that had been almost destroyed by fire, he led his men to try their luck and break out. The gunfire was intense, and the footsteps outside were chaotic. He knew that many people had come and the firepower was strong, and it would be difficult for him to lead everyone out by himself.
But even if we can't break through, we have to try; every life counts.
However, he smelled a strange odor and before he could speak, he was knocked unconscious.
Yes, that person was right behind him—it was Yan Yan!
Gu Tingzhi was shocked. "Where's Yanyan? Where is Yanyan?"
"Boss! Boss, don't move! She's fine, not hurt at all, she's sleeping upstairs!"
Gu Tingzhi: "..."
I think I misheard. "Is she sleeping?"
Fu Chaosheng pursed his lips. "Yes, Miss Meng saved you all. After the doctor finished the surgery and confirmed that you were alright, she went upstairs and hasn't come down since. It seems that Ms. Meng went to call you once and knocked on the door, but there was no response. She stopped calling after that, so she must be asleep."
Gu Tingzhi asked, "Everyone's back? Is everyone alright?"
Fu Chaosheng nodded again, "Yes, the five you rescued are all fine. Two of them were seriously injured, but their will to live was very strong, and they have been rescued. They are still unconscious. The other three were not injured. They fainted when they came back and were put to rest in the guest room. They have now woken up."
Gu Tingzhi remained silent for a while before speaking, "Yanyan brought all six of us back by herself? We were all unconscious when she came back?"
"Yes, that's what my family said. Miss Meng drove you back home, and when we got there she had people carry you inside."
Gu Tingzhi lay on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling, and after a long while asked, "Have the people I asked you to place hidden away been properly hidden?"
"They're well hidden; they're safe for now."
Gu Tingzhi closed his eyes. "I understand. You go and rest. I'll be alone for a while!"
"Boss, Miss Meng, she..."
"It's nothing. I made her angry. She was furious last night. She waited until I finished my surgery and made sure I was okay before leaving. I'll talk to her about it later and everything will be fine."
Fu Chaosheng had absolute trust in Gu Tingzhi. Once Gu Tingzhi said that, he believed it, nodded, and obediently left the ward.
Gu Tingzhi was left alone in the room. He lay there quietly, his mind replaying the scene before he fainted. He knew that in that situation, no one could bring back someone who was unable to fight unharmed. How did Yanyan manage to do it?
Now, why don't you come to see him?
Is she avoiding him?
Under normal circumstances, she would stay by his side and watch over him. At the very least, she would go back to rest for a while and then come back to watch over him. It's impossible that she hasn't been seen since.
Why are you avoiding him?
Gu Tingzhi woke up, and Meng Suqin came over to check on him. "You're awake? It's good that you're awake. You have to be careful in the future. It scared me to death to see you all come back covered in blood. And Yanyan too. I heard from Chen Ying that she was worried about you last night and didn't sleep, waiting for you. But when Chaosheng came back and told her about your situation, she couldn't wait for you to come back, so she went straight to find you. That's too brave of her."
"By the way, did you two have a fight? Why has Yanyan been locking herself in her room and not coming out?"
A smile slowly spread across Gu Tingzhi's pale face as he comforted her, "Mom, don't worry. Yanyan is just angry that I took too many risks and almost lost my life. She's worried about me. She was so angry last night, but she only left after making sure I was alright. I'll apologize to her, and everything will be fine!"
