Upon hearing that there was no antidote, Fen Tianming's eyes turned bloodshot with anger. He uttered a curse and turned to leave quickly. Lives were at stake, and he had to hurry back to discuss treatment with the others.
"Tianming..."
Watching Fen Tianming's departing figure, Zhao Shujie swayed uncontrollably, finally squatting down on the ground, crying so hard she almost couldn't breathe.
"Okay, stop crying."
At that moment, a tall figure appeared before her and pulled her tightly into his broad chest. "I believe you are not such a vicious person. You have just been deceived."
“Gu…Gu Ye…”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shujie trembled and looked up in disbelief.
"You can't even bear to make monsters suffer too much, so how could you go and kill people?"
Gu Ye reached out and wiped away her tears, his eyes resolute as he said, "I know you like that bastard Fen Tianming, but it's really not worth you giving up yourself for someone who doesn't like you. That's too humiliating. That's not the Zhao Shujie I know."
"I... Waaaaah..."
Hearing this, Zhao Shujie finally couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into Gu Ye's arms, sobbing loudly, "I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, sob, I didn't mean to kill anyone, I was wrong... sob..."
Gu Ye held Zhao Shujie tightly without saying a word, only gently patting her back, waiting for her to calm down.
As for Zang Lingping, Gu Ye looked up at the Refining Tower. He hadn't expected that Zang Lingping had sought out Xiao Jie, but he should soon receive the lesson he deserved.
"Okay, stop crying. Crying is the most useless thing."
Once Zhao Shujie had calmed down, Gu Ye helped her stand up. "If I'm not mistaken, the person who gave you the medicine should be Zang Lingping. Let's go to his residence and see if we can find any clues about the antidote."
"How...how did you know it was him?" Zhao Shujie asked, sobbing.
"Because he also contacted me."
Gu Ye sneered, "Their methods of bewitching people are indeed very clever."
"You...you didn't believe me, but I did..."
As Zhao Shujie spoke, her eyes welled up with tears again. She sobbed and said fearfully, "Gu...Gu Ye, if that person dies, I..."
No, it won't.
Gu Ye held Zhao Shujie's hand and earnestly comforted her, "Once Lord Jue and the others come out, they will definitely have a solution. Three days should be enough."
"Yes, we'll definitely make it in time!"
Zhao Shujie nodded, choking back tears, "When...when she wakes up, I'll go and apologize to her. She can punish me however she wants."
"If you sincerely apologize, she will definitely accept it."
Gu Ye's eyes were full of trust. He reached out and patted Zhao Shujie's head reassuringly, smiling encouragingly, "Knowing your mistakes and correcting them, that's the Zhao Shujie I know."
“Gu Ye…”
Each reassuring word and trusting, patient gaze deeply moved Zhao Shujie.
During this most difficult time, the only person who stayed by her side and trusted her was Gu Ye, while the man she loved all her life coldly abandoned her after harshly scolding and rebuking her.
The contrast was so stark that Zhao Shujie couldn't help but re-evaluate the man in front of her who usually seemed like a spoiled rich kid.
So, he can be so steady and reliable; so, he's so handsome…
Perhaps, she had been blinded by her obsession all along, preventing her from seeing anything else, and sinking deeper and deeper until she was almost possessed by a demon.
