Once this matter is resolved, she will immediately set off for the far north to retrieve reagent number three.
The scene before her was beautiful, but Xiao Wujie's physical condition weighed heavily on her heart like a giant boulder.
What she wanted wasn't a fleeting moment of youth, but a long life ahead, with a precious child no longer tormented by illness...
Just like Chu Nanfeng's blessing—to be together forever!
In the dimly lit room, Chu Feihong, his face pale and disheveled, sat at his desk with a deep gaze.
He looked very unwell, and if you got closer to him, you would notice that his breathing sounded weak and shallow.
Given his condition, he should have continued to rest in the hospital, but tonight is the day the goods arrive at the port, and success or failure hinges on this moment.
He knew that those people had probably laid a trap and would never allow his shipment to enter the port.
If he succeeds, he will sweep away his rivals, his goods will enter the port, and he will make a comeback.
If they lose, they will be utterly defeated, at the mercy of others, with no chance of turning the tide.
They wanted to use this shipment to solidify his innocence, and he, in turn, wanted to use it to lure out all his opponents and wipe them all out in one fell swoop.
When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave will prevail; this is a high-stakes gamble!
It's a gamble on who has the greater courage, who has the more meticulous planning, and the stakes are the rest of everyone involved!
Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face. He was another person in charge of the Gu family, Gu Junci's uncle, Gu Hengsheng.
"Chu Feihong, it's not too late to regret it now. Once the goods are in port, we'll have no way out!"
Gu Hengsheng said in a deep voice.
"Gu Hengsheng, I'll say it one last time: we had no way out!"
“My forces have suffered repeated heavy blows, and I myself almost died at the hands of others.”
"The person behind this acted too quickly and ruthlessly, leaving no room for retreat. If no action is taken soon, I will surely die."
"And you..."
Chu Feihong looked up into his eyes, paused for a moment, and then continued:
"Do you think you can defeat your niece without my help?"
"You know exactly what will happen to you once I fall from power!"
Gu Hengsheng's eyes flickered upon hearing this, his expression shifting between light and shadow, because every word Chu Feihong spoke had struck a nerve.
Chu Feihong is his backer; he and Chu Feihong have long been bound together.
Without Chu Feihong, he couldn't defeat Gu Junci.
If Chu Feihong falls, he will inevitably suffer the same fate.
"Gambling offers a glimmer of hope. Staying put means certain death. I think you understand which is more important!"
After coldly leaving behind a single sentence, Chu Feihong said nothing more, simply watching Gu Hengsheng's changing expressions with a blank face.
He wasn't worried at all that Gu Hengsheng would change his mind, because, as he said...
He had no way out, and naturally, he had no choice!
After a long silence, Gu Hengsheng gritted his teeth and nodded with a gloomy expression.
"It's good that you've made up your mind. I'll go check the relevant arrangements again."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Chu Feihong glanced at his departing figure with a hint of disdain, then stood up, walked to the huge bookshelf, and gently turned a vase on the shelf.
As the vase was turned, the bookshelf automatically split in the middle and moved to both sides.
There was clearly a hidden space behind the bookshelf.
Chu Feihong walked in calmly.
In the dark room behind the bookshelves, there were several stretcher beds, on which lay cold corpses.
The corpses died in extremely bizarre ways; there were no visible wounds on their bodies, but blood was flowing from their seven orifices, and their faces showed signs of pain.
It was the bodyguard who died from Xiao Wujie's sonic magic on the night he was attacked.
The room was clearly empty except for him and the corpses of his bodyguards, yet he calmly said:
"Your Excellency, please show yourself."
The sound echoed in the empty, gloomy room, creating an eerie atmosphere.
The next moment, the air around him suddenly twitched, and a figure shrouded in mist appeared in the room without warning.
"Tonight, please keep a close eye on that person with extraordinary abilities and prevent him from causing trouble. I will handle the rest."
Chu Feihong said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, although that person has extraordinary abilities, it won't be difficult for us to hold him off."
"Are you sure you don't want us to provide you with some more assistance? We still need to give Shen Yuan face."
The man in black robes said in a hoarse voice.
It was obvious that he was using a hoarse falsetto; the sound was as unpleasant as sawing.
"No need. Besides, all your expenses will go through my account. Don't involve my son."
Chu Feihong shook his head.
He could be utterly defeated, but Chu Yichen could not.
His purpose in never involving Chu Yichen in his shady businesses was also for this reason.
Even tigers don't eat their cubs; he didn't want his children to struggle in the darkness like he had.
Chu Yichen has already helped him enough.
He is still young, and has a long life ahead of him...
He absolutely cannot let him go down to the deepest hell with him and never be able to rise again!
