Just as the two were passionately embracing each other, Gu Chu's phone rang at an inopportune moment, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.
Gu Chu regained her senses and pushed Rong Shi away from her.
Rong Shi reluctantly let go of Gu Chu.
Gu Chu sat up and tugged at her loosened collar: "I'm going to answer a call. You take a shower first."
After Gu Chu finished speaking, she walked out of the guest room. Rong Shi watched her departing figure, then looked down at his standing brother, and finally sighed resentfully, taking his clothes into the bathroom.
The call was from Ye Sinan, but the call ended before Gu Chu got the phone.
Gu Chu dialed back, and the call was answered instantly.
"Sorry, I was busy just now."
"It's nothing. I just called to let you know that Jiang Jinyu sent me a video."
Gu Chu asked in confusion, "What video?"
Ye Sinan said, "This is evidence that the Qi family and the hospital are colluding. I had someone verify that the video is genuine."
Gu Chu understood the implication in Ye Sinan's words: "You suspect Jiang Jinyu?"
Ye Sinan voiced his doubts: "I don't understand why he suddenly wants to help me?"
Gu Chu thought about her conversation with Jiang Jinyu this afternoon. She told the truth, a truth that was somewhat unpleasant to Jiang Jinyu.
“I convinced him; send me the video.”
Upon hearing that Gu Chu had helped, Ye Sinan's doubts were dispelled, and he said gratefully, "Okay, I'll send you the video."
Gu Chu hung up the phone and soon received a video from Ye Sinan. After watching it, she thought about it for a while and then called Ye Sinan.
Gu Chu: "Senior, post this video online. Try to get an internet celebrity or a famous blogger to post it and get it trending. Then your company's legal department can file a police report."
"That's what I think too, but will this really bring the mastermind to justice?" Ye Sinan asked with some concern.
Gu Chu wasn't sure either, since she still didn't know who Qi Mingxuan's backer was.
There's no guarantee that Qi Mingxuan will get his comeuppance.
“There’s an 80% chance, and most importantly, your company can recover most of its losses as a result,” Gu Chu said truthfully.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to do it right away, Gu Chu, thank you!"
"You're too kind. It's what I should do. Besides, I'm not helping you for free; I received a hundred million from you!"
"That's what you deserve, well... let's talk next time!"
"Okay, bye-bye!"
Gu Chu hung up the phone and realized that an hour had passed.
Why hasn't Rong Shi come out of the bathroom yet?
She got up and went outside, only to find the bathroom light still on.
Gu Chu was a little worried, afraid that Rong Shi might have fallen asleep in the bathtub, so she reached out and gently knocked on the bathroom door.
"Rong Shi, are you alright?"
While Rong Shi was soaking in cold water to put out the fire, she heard a knock on the door and replied, "I'm fine, I'll be done soon."
Gu Chu returned to her room only after hearing Rong Shi's voice.
A short while later, Rong Shi opened the bathroom door and saw that Gu Chu had already gone to rest, so he didn't disturb her.
The next day——
When Gu Chu woke up, she found it was already seven in the morning. She got up but didn't see Rong Shi busy in the kitchen and felt inexplicably disappointed.
Gu Chu glanced at a note on the restaurant table, picked it up and read it.
I've started my new job. Breakfast is warming up at home. Call me if you need anything.
Gu Chu then realized that Rong Shi had already left. She hurriedly went to the guest room and opened the door. She saw that the guest room was tidy and clean, but Rong Shi's luggage was no longer inside, as if he had never been there at all.
City C
Today was Su Wan's scheduled prenatal checkup. After breakfast, she was about to go to the hospital when she saw a familiar face as soon as she stepped out the door.
"Lu Beichuan! What are you doing here?" Su Wan was somewhat surprised.
Lu Beichuan smiled and said, "Surprised? I've applied to be transferred back to City C."
"Oh, should I congratulate you or comfort you?" Su Wan said calmly.
Lu Beichuan walked towards her: "Su Wan, it's been half a month since we last saw each other, don't you miss me?"
Su Wan glanced at him: "Am I crazy? Why would I want to think about you?"
Lu Beichuan felt a shock to his heart: "What you said hurts me. We were friends, after all."
Su Wan suddenly realized something and asked, "How did you know that?"
Lu Beichuan: "I had someone investigate."
Su Wan scoffed: "You're so boring!"
Su Wan was about to leave after speaking when Lu Beichuan called out to her, "Where are you going?"
As Su Wan walked, she said, "To the hospital."
Lu Beichuan caught up with him, asking worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Wan said casually, "I'm fine with it, it's just a prenatal checkup."
This revelation caused a huge stir. Lu Beichuan was stunned: "What! You're pregnant!"
Seeing his shock, Su Wan stopped and turned around to look at him strangely: "Why are you so shocked that I'm pregnant? It's not your child."
Lu Beichuan felt a pang of disappointment: "You're married?"
Su Wan didn't answer him, but instead asked, "What's it to you?"
Lu Beichuan was unwilling to give up: "Who is that person?"
Seeing that Lu Beichuan was meddling a bit, Su Wan said sarcastically, "Aren't you very capable? Go and investigate yourself!"
After saying that, he turned around and continued walking.
Lu Beichuan stood there stunned for a while, his mind a bit confused, a jumble of thoughts running through his head. Seeing Su Wan walking further and further away, he didn't have time to think it through and quickly chased after her: "Su Wan, I'll go with you!"
Su Wan refused without turning her head: "No need."
Lu Beichuan ignored him and chased after him.

"Thank you, doctor!" Su Wan said politely.
