A private sanatorium in Beijing.
In a VIP hospital room.
A man in a hospital gown, his face pale, snatched the nurse's phone.
He saw the report about Hu Ling and his hands trembled slightly.
He muttered to himself.
"She's dead, she just died like that???"
The nurse, somewhat flustered, tried to take the phone back; "Young Master, the Master instructed that you are not allowed to look at your phone..."
"roll!"
The man's cold, single word sent shivers down the nurse's spine.
She has been taking care of this man for several years. He was in a vegetative state and woke up two weeks ago.
After waking up, his mood worsened day by day. He would get angry easily and insist on going out, but his current physical condition did not allow him to go out freely.
So he vented all his emotions on himself. The young nurse was also young, and he scolded her every day and would occasionally pour boiling water on her. She felt very broken and tears of grievance fell down her cheeks.
"Shut up! Get the hell out of here!"
The nurse wanted to go out, but she didn't dare. She didn't dare leave the person in front of her with his phone in the room.
Do you want me to kill you?
The man glared at him fiercely; his sunken eyes were exceptionally menacing, sending chills down one's spine.
The nurse was so frightened that her legs almost gave way. Just then, the door opened and a man in his sixties walked in.
This man is named Guan Sheng, and he is currently the head of the imperial family in the capital.
The man in the hospital bed was his only son, Guan Yingjie.
He wasn't surprised by the scene before him, and simply said, "You can go out now."
The nurse ran out as if she had received a pardon.
With a serious expression, Guan Sheng pulled out a chair next to him and sat down.
I glanced at the man's phone on the hospital bed.
"You know everything?"
The man on the bed nodded.
"Dad, I want to be discharged!"
"The doctor said your body hasn't fully recovered yet..."
"I feel like I've recovered very well!"
The man, seemingly to prove his point, pulled back the covers and stood up.
Guan Sheng nodded after seeing this; "Then I'll call the doctor to come and take a look."
A moment later, the doctor jogged over.
After examining Guan Yingjie, he nodded.
"Master, although the young master's health has not fully recovered, with proper care, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Guan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"good."
After the doctor left, Guan Yingjie said, "I'm going to the East China Sea!"
Guan Sheng frowned; "What are you going there for?"
“I don’t believe she’s dead. I want to see her body.”
"I heard her body was blown to pieces, so you won't be able to see it."
"Then I want to get a DNA test too! I need to confirm that she was the one who died."
“Xiao Jie, it’s been a long time since then. I hope you can take a longer view. I have now taken the position of family head, and you will be the heir to the family in the future. I hope you will not act impulsively.”
"Dad! For you, it may seem like a long time has passed, but for me, it's not. To me, it's as if it happened yesterday. That woman dared to stab me in the back at the wedding, so I have to make her pay the price for that!"
"Xiao Jie, the person is already dead..."
"I don't believe it! Hu Ling is such a smart person, how could she be blown up? Dad, although I've been asleep for more than ten years, my mind isn't confused. She caused such a big incident, exposed herself to the public, and even held a press conference before she died, publicly announcing that she was giving up her position to someone else. She did all of that, and then she died? Haha? Do you really believe that? Do you really believe that such a coincidence is possible?"
Upon hearing Guan Yingjie's analysis, Guan Sheng also hesitated.
“What you’re saying makes some sense. It’s definitely not her usual style. She used to be extremely low-key, but now she’s suddenly become high-profile, which is quite unusual.”
"That's right! That's why I don't believe she's dead."
"Well then, I'll send someone over to investigate."
"No need, I'll go myself!"
"But your body..."
"I'm fine, I feel much better."
"Then I'll arrange for some people to follow you."
"good."
...
After handling the funeral, Chen Zhe dragged his exhausted body home.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the light on in the next room.
After hesitating for a moment, he went over and knocked on the door.
When the door opened, the person in front of them was none other than Hu Ling.
"Sister Hu, everything has been done as you instructed."
Hu Ling nodded.
"No one followed you when you came back, right?"
"No, I specifically asked Zhang Kai to take a detour, and we didn't find anyone following us."
Hu Ling chuckled; "So, they really do believe I'm dead."
"Sister Hu, why are we putting on this show? Is it really just to escape that assassin?"
Hu Ling hesitated for a moment.
"That's just one of the reasons."
"Hmm, are there other reasons?"
"Yes, one of my enemies woke up half a month ago. He will definitely take revenge on me after he wakes up, so I have no choice but to die."
Hu Ling came up with this idea because Xie Laodao reminded her.
Master Xie told her, "Everyone dies; sometimes death means rebirth."
That's how she understood that sentence.
She is currently being hunted by assassins who will not give up until they complete their mission. Moreover, one of her enemies has also woken up, and that person hates her to the core and will certainly not let her go either.
So she had no choice but to "die," because only "death" could solve her current predicament.
Hu Ling didn't elaborate on her enemy, and Chen Zhe didn't feel comfortable asking further.
"You're much smarter this time. I originally wanted to come over quietly and surprise you, but I didn't expect you to guess it so quickly."
Hu Ling said with a smile.
When Chen Zhe ran into the airport and saw A Bao, he also thought Hu Ling was dead.
But the next second he sensed something was wrong, because he could tell from the expression that A Bao's acting wasn't very good.
Although he was crying, no tears came out.
He immediately guessed that this might all be a setup by Hu Ling, because Hu Ling had done something similar before.
He recalled everything Hu Ling had told him before she left.
He knew this was a second chance for him.
He cooperated with Ah Bao, putting on a good show in front of the reporters, and only when they were alone did he manage to get information out of Ah Bao.
"Sister Hu, to be honest, I haven't completely figured it out either. I don't quite understand how you got out. There were explosives and bodies at the scene. How did you manage to get out in front of everyone?"
Chen Zhe went to see the explosion site. The women's restroom was completely destroyed; it was a truly horrific sight.
"This matter was rather dangerous. I originally planned to blow up the assassin as well, but I didn't expect that kid to run faster than a rabbit."
"ah????"
Chen Zhe was completely dumbfounded when he heard this.
"What exactly is going on?"
“It wasn’t complicated. After I separated from you, I went into the bathroom. There were explosives and a body I borrowed from the hospital inside. My plan was to lure him out and kill him. Sure enough, the assassin followed me in, but I didn’t expect him to act so quickly. He gave me a tranquilizer dart. Before I passed out, I thought I was going to die, so I pressed the switch. But the assassin heard the sound and immediately ran away…”
"But that doesn't make sense. If you're unconscious and then you press the switch, won't you get blown up?"
"Do you think Abao is just a nobody? Abao used some tricks with that explosive. After the countdown ended, there were still 10 seconds left. The moment I pressed the switch, Abao would receive my command and use that time to bring me out."
"Oh! I see!"
"So back then, Brother Bao hid you in the box!"
"Hehe, that's right, you guessed correctly."
Ah Bao hid Hu Ling in a suitcase, thus avoiding all the airport's surveillance cameras. In addition, there was a body in the toilet, so no one suspected Hu Ling's death.
Her faked death was a flawless scheme.
It's a bit dangerous.
Chen Zhe marveled at her courage; a slight mistake could have blown her up. If it were him, he really wouldn't have dared to do it.
"But Sister Hu, I have a question. This funeral was so grand, how will you be resurrected?"
"resurrection?"
"Right, won't you have to be resurrected later? How will you explain that to the public then?"
"There's nothing to explain. I have no intention of being resurrected."
"Huh? Why? The CEO position..."
"Didn't I already hand it over to you? I'll be hiding in the shadows from now on. My other enemy... to be honest, their power is too great. I'm not confident in dealing with them. Only death would be a relief for me."
"Well, okay, so you plan to hide here from now on?"
"What's wrong? Is it affecting your ability to pick up girls?"
Hu Ling asked with a smile.
"Sister Hu, you've misunderstood. I didn't think that way. I was just afraid that I wouldn't be able to hold my position in your company."
"Don't worry, I'll support you from behind. I'll tell you what to do. But I have to tell you something: my other enemy might be a bit troublesome. If you encounter him in the future, you must be careful."
"Sister Hu, who exactly is your other enemy?"
Chen Zhe finally couldn't help but ask.
Hu Ling is a dangerous person, so she might harm him. He doesn't want to die without knowing why.
Hu Ling hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up.
"He is my husband in name only, Guan Yingjie."
