Chapter 304 Her Destiny
We arrived in the capital at around 8 p.m.
The journey was relatively smooth.
Seventh Master sent Uncle Li to the dock to receive them.
When Uncle Li saw the thin and haggard Shen Qingshu in Mo Bai's arms, even he, who was used to all kinds of situations, showed a rare look of shock.
"Miss Shen, these are symptoms of poison affecting your liver and kidneys."
Shen Qingshu was drowsy, as if awake, but not fully awake.
In her dazed state, she seemed to hear Uncle Li and Mo Bai discussing her.
She wanted to hear more clearly, but she couldn't resist the drowsiness and eventually fell into a deep sleep again.
Uncle Li led them to a private residence under Seventh Master's name—Lanyuan.
Lanyuan has its own security team, so it's very safe.
Mo Bai placed Shen Qingshu in the master bedroom on the second floor.
Uncle Li came over and sat down on the edge of the bed.
He took Shen Qingshu's pulse.
Shen Qingshu's pulse was as he had guessed.
Uncle Li's expression was grave. "The toxins have entered the liver."
The man's heart clenched, and his Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty. "Is there any way to fix this?"
Uncle Li shook his head. "The person who poisoned him was an expert in pharmacology. He used the principle of mutual restraint of pharmacological effects to administer the medication day after day. Eventually, the mutual restraint of pharmacological effects would occur, and the toxins would accumulate in the liver, thereby affecting the spleen. The spleen's function would be severely damaged, and it would slowly lose its function without any sensation. Then, the person would not be able to absorb food. If the poison could not be detoxified, the person would slowly die in a state of emptiness."
The man's tall frame swayed slightly.
"You can't solve it?"
“I might be able to give it a try, but I’m afraid Miss Shen’s condition won’t withstand a few attempts from me.” Uncle Li shook his head and said, “This kind of poison with incompatible pharmacological properties is the most difficult to cure. The person who administered the poison has the prescription. If the person who administered the poison were to administer the antidote, it would only take a few prescriptions to easily cure her.”
In other words, if we could find out which medicinal herbs Jin Que used, the poison would be much easier to cure.
Jin Que did it on purpose.
He didn't drug Shen Qingshu to kill her.
He wanted to make Shen Qingshu unable to live without him.
What he wanted was a puppet lover.
The man closed his eyes. "Uncle Li, please take care of her for me."
Uncle Li stood up, looked at him with some unease, and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I'm going to find Jin Que."
Uncle Li frowned. "You can't go!"
"I can't bear to watch her die like this."
The man was adamant: "The two children still need their mother."
Uncle Li looked at him, his expression complex. "If you go, all of this will be for nothing, and those compatriots who sacrificed their lives will have died in vain!"
The man closed his eyes. "Uncle Li, I owe her. Let me do something for her."
Uncle Li looked at him, but ultimately said nothing more.
"Even if we are going, we should plan this carefully."
The man thought for a moment and said, "Let's go outside and talk."
Uncle Li and Mo Bai walked out of the bedroom and closed the door.
On the large bed, the woman, who had been in a deep sleep, slowly opened her eyes.
Actually, she woke up when Uncle Li took her pulse.
She heard their conversation clearly.
Shen Qingshu opened her eyes, her heart filled with shock.
Mo Bai is Fu Siyan.
This was something she had decided on a long time ago.
Little did she know that Fu Siyan and Uncle Li were already acquainted.
Or perhaps, there is an inseparable relationship between Fu Siyan and Seventh Master...
…
The next morning, Uncle Li brought food to Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu asked him, "Where is Mo Bai?"
Uncle Li said, "Mr. Mo is going out to take care of some business."
Shen Qingshu frowned. "When will he be back?"
Uncle Li stared at her.
His eyes see everything with precision and clarity.
Just like now, she could tell from Shen Qingshu's subtle expression that she already knew.
"Is Miss Shen worried about Mr. Mo?"
“Mo Bai is Fu Siyan.” Shen Qingshu didn’t bother beating around the bush anymore. “Uncle Li, you’re Seventh Master’s man, how do you know Fu Siyan?”
Uncle Li chuckled faintly, "When did Miss Shen find out that Mo Bai was Mr. Fu?"
"Not long ago, I think." Shen Qingshu was a little anxious. "Uncle Li, did Fu Siyan go to see Jin Que?"
"He does plan to go, but he hasn't gone yet. He has some things to take care of first. Once those are done, he will go."
Uncle Li was so frank.
Shen Qingshu understood.
"You want me to stop him, right?"
Uncle Li looked at the woman in front of him with admiration.
"Miss Shen truly lives up to Seventh Master's high regard. You are very intelligent and composed."
"Uncle Li, if I had a choice, I would rather I had never met them."
Shen Qingshu's eyes reddened slightly. "That night, I came out of the police station and accidentally saved Jin Que. Afterwards, on my way home, I was thinking about something and crossed the road at a red light. I was grazed by Fu Siyan's car and injured. Fu Siyan took me to the hospital. At that time, he gave me his business card to discuss compensation. Because I was attracted by his identity as a lawyer, I had the idea of cooperating with him in a deal..."
Uncle Li sighed, "Perhaps this is fate."
"I ran into these two half-brothers on the same night."
The woman's voice was flat, echoing in the room.
Uncle Li listened quietly.
"If this is my destiny, then I accept it."
Shen Qingshu said, "I will take the initiative to go back to Jin Que. Uncle Li, please help me persuade Fu Siyan to stay."
“I would rather die than let him betray his mission and his people because of me. I hope he can complete his mission well, and after everything settles down, I hope he can love our children well.”
Her two poor children never truly had a complete family from birth.
This life, so calm and light, has come.
But she was tired.
I'm so tired.
If Jin Que's existence is a threat to her two children, then let her settle things with Jin Que!
That's all there is to life.
Since she cannot freely choose how to live.
Let's do our best one more time for her children!
At least, in the world after she's gone, her children can live healthy and safe lives!
...
The next day, Fu Siyan prepared to set off.
Uncle Li wanted to personally escort him there.
Before leaving, Fu Siyan went to see Shen Qingshu.
The door was pushed open.
Fu Siyan walked in.
Shen Qingshu sat on the bed and looked at him upon hearing the sound.
"You've come." She said calmly, but didn't call him Mo Bai again.
If a man were observant enough, he would also notice her unusual behavior at that moment.
But the man's mind was disturbed by suppressed emotions.
This parting may truly be the last time we meet.
He felt a little reluctant to part with it.
But he still tried to appear normal, asking, "How are you feeling today?"
“It’s good.” Shen Qingshu said calmly. “I dreamed about my two children last night. They both love their father very much. After being reunited with their father, they were very happy. Their father also loves them very much. I think that is the best ending.”
The man froze, seemingly unable to believe what he was hearing.
Shen Qingshu raised the corners of her mouth, "It's a beautiful dream, and I hope it can come true."
That day, the man was stunned by this unexpected recognition, and his thoughts were in complete disarray.
So much so that he didn't notice the resolute glint hidden in the woman's calm eyes.
