Lin Jing smiled and invited her to board the plane: "Miss Lu, please get on."
Lu Zhiwei stepped up the ladder and entered the cabin. Shen Jingmo, sitting in the cockpit, was handsome and noble, just like a captain with extraordinary demeanor.
"Do you have a helicopter pilot's license?" Lu Zhiwei asked him.
"Yes, I took the exam when I was nineteen because of a lot of pressure. You like sunrises, so I'll take you to chase the sunrise today. Today's sunrise is at 5:35 a.m. When we arrive an hour later, you'll see the sunrise and sea of clouds closest to the horizon."
Shen Jinmo put on his headset, confirmed takeoff with air traffic control, and then started the helicopter.
As the helicopter took off, the entire night view of Yunzhou unfolded before our eyes, a truly breathtaking sight.
The dazzling city lights shone brightly, transforming into sparkling stars high in the sky.
Lu Zhiwei, with her seatbelt fastened, leaned back in the back seat, gazing out the window.
Shen Jinmo flew the plane fast and steadily. After the plane reached a stable altitude, he even had time to chat with her.
"Tell me... why didn't I take you for a spin in the sky like this back then, and create some romance for you occasionally? I was such a blockhead." Shen Jinmo started cursing himself.
"Heh." Lu Zhiwei chuckled dismissively, offering no response.
"Shen Jinmo is a fool. He lost such a good wife. He deserves to be a bachelor for life."
"..." Lu Zhiwei was speechless; he was still cursing.
"He's a complete bastard, blind to talent..."
The more Shen Jinmo cursed, the more he enjoyed it.
Lu Zhiwei stopped him in time: "Shen Jinmo, just fly your plane properly, I don't want to die yet."
Shen Jinmo didn't expect her to be afraid of death: "Aren't you fearless?"
“Things are different now,” Lu Zhiwei replied.
She hadn't completely eradicated the cancer that was Shen Shuyuan, and now she had an even more important concern.
"Lu Zhiwei," Shen Jinmo suddenly called her.
Lu Zhiwei said impatiently, "What now?"
She shouldn't have been so hasty in getting on his plane.
"I won't let you die. You'll live to be a hundred." Shen Jinmo's thin lips curled into a smile as he kept a close watch on the course.
"You're not a god who controls fate; your word doesn't count."
Who can predict how old a person will live to or when they will die?
"I mean, with me here, nothing will happen to you. I'll protect you with my life. I owe you. I'll repay you with my whole life."
This is what Shen Jinmo has always wanted to say to her.
In the tranquil high sky, there was no one else but the two of them.
He finally mustered the courage to say those words.
Lu Zhiwei crossed her arms and said, "I don't need your life, and you don't owe me anything. We're even."
Shen Jinmo's heart was still pierced.
The less ties there are, the less likely there will be any interaction.
During the second half of the journey, Shen Jinmo suddenly fell silent and did not initiate any more conversations.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the plane was about to land at a private helipad in Jiangzhou.
The sea of clouds in the east was dyed red by the morning glow, and a red sun shone brightly on the horizon.
This was the earliest and most complete sunrise that Lu Zhiwei had ever seen.
The morning light shone on Lu Zhiwei's delicate face.
Shen Jinmo turned around and glanced at her. "Good morning."
The plane landed smoothly.
They arrived in Jiangzhou safely.
The landing time was a little after 5 a.m. local time. It was too early to visit the Song family so abruptly, which would be against the rules.
Shen Jinmo suggested taking her to have breakfast first.
Lu Zhiwei refused on the spot.
"I'm going to Jiangzhou Hospital. You can go back now."
"You used me and then ran away, Lu Zhiwei, can you not be so heartless?" Shen Jinmo said in a deep voice.
"Is this the first day you've met me?" Lu Zhiwei shook off Shen Jinmo and went to Jiangzhou Hospital alone.
She knew that Song Hanzheng went to the hospital very early every day.
Without any evidence to prove that Song Anran is Shen Shuyuan, she couldn't directly expose her, so she could only approach the matter indirectly through Song Hanzheng.
Fearing that he would annoy Lu Zhiwei, Shen Jinmo parted ways with Lu Zhiwei and went to visit the Song family elders at the Song family villa alone.
Of course, he didn't go that early. He found a restaurant, had breakfast, and packed a portion for Lu Zhiwei to be delivered to Jiangzhou Hospital by a deliveryman. He even prepared some generous gifts for his later visit.
Lu Zhiwei intercepted Song Hanzheng, who had driven to the hospital early that morning, in the parking lot.
As soon as the person got out of the car, she hurriedly chased after them.
She was also carrying a food box wrapped in a paper bag, which contained breakfast from the most expensive morning tea restaurant in Jiangzhou. It had been delivered to her by Shen Jinmo ten minutes earlier.
She didn't have time to throw it away.
He ran up to Song Hanzheng, panting heavily.
When Song Hanzheng saw her, he was both surprised and delighted: "Miss Lu, what are you doing in Jiangzhou?"
"Come over here and let me treat you to breakfast." Lu Zhiwei didn't eat Shen Jinmo's breakfast, but instead took the opportunity to offer it to Song Hanzheng.
"I really didn't have time for breakfast, thanks." Song Hanzheng took the breakfast with both hands, locked the car, and walked towards the hospital building.
"You came here for more than just to treat me to breakfast, didn't you?" Song Hanzheng asked with a smile.
"Dr. Song, you really have a keen sense of smell. It's the same thing I told you on the phone. I need you to help me get your sister's DNA sample. She and I aren't on good terms right now, so she won't cooperate with me." Lu Zhiwei said with a hint of pleading.
Song Hanzheng couldn't resist: "Okay, I'll help you, but I have one condition."
“What are your requirements? Please feel free to tell me,” Lu Zhiwei said straightforwardly.
"Be my assistant for half a day. I'm a bit busy filing documents today. After I'm done, I'll go home at noon and get samples from my sister." Song Hanzheng actually wanted to deliberately spend some time with Lu Zhiwei.
