Chapter 304 Sacrificing Family for the Righteous
At the entrance of Yunlan Hotel, Gu Lanlan hesitated somewhat.
Have she and Gu Jinci reconciled now?
After all, Gu Jinci said he still loves her, so the two of them can be considered to have made up!
Gu Lanlan kept doing this mental work in her mind.
If she and Gu Jinci were still broken up, then it would be very inappropriate for her to come to the hotel with Gu Jinci now.
"What's wrong, Lanlan?"
Noticing Gu Lanlan's hesitation, Gu Jinci took the initiative to ask, his eyes revealing hurt.
Don't you love me anymore?
"No...no..."
"Then there's no problem."
Gu Lanlan was pulled into the hotel by Gu Jinci.
Before doing so, Gu Lanlan had wanted to ask Gu Jinci several times what his difficulties were.
However, seeing that Gu Jinci had no intention of speaking, she had no choice but to let Gu Jinci do it first.
Gu Jinci said he still loved her, and she thought... he probably wasn't lying to her.
Because Gu Jinci was so eager to sleep with her.
Gu Lanlan once read online that if you want a man to love you, he must first have desire for you.
Her cheeks flushed, Gu Lanlan's heart raced, and she felt like she was being boiled alive, extremely hot.
This time, Gu Jinci was even gentler than before, giving Gu Lanlan the illusion of being cherished.
After they finished, the two of them took a shower one after the other, and then got into bed.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat awkward. Seeing that Gu Jinci didn't speak first, Gu Lanlan had no choice but to ask first:
"What were you referring to when you said you had a difficult situation?"
After Gu Lanlan asked that question, she glanced at Gu Jinci out of the corner of her eye.
Gu Jinci's expression turned very serious, so serious that she even felt that she had said something wrong and angered Gu Jinci.
"What... what's wrong with you?" Gu Lanlan hunched her shoulders.
Gu Jinci, who was standing next to her, let out a heavy sigh and then turned to look at Gu Lanlan.
The moment their eyes met, Gu Jinci's expression softened considerably.
"Lanlan..."
Gu Jinci took Gu Lanlan's hand.
"I was forced to break up with you before..."
"Forced into it?"
Gu Lanlan was puzzled.
"Because I originally wanted to get close to Jiang Ning in order to stop her from doing something immoral."
"What?!"
Gu Lanlan was stunned by Gu Jinci's words.
What do you mean by Gu Jinci wanting to get close to Jiang Ning?
And also to stop Jiang Ning from doing anything immoral...
Seeing Gu Lanlan's puzzled and shocked expression, Gu Jinci sighed and patiently explained:
"You should know that CelestiMed, where I work, has partnered with the Lu Group to develop the FZZL system..."
"Yes, I know. It's that AI-assisted diagnosis and treatment system, right?"
"right."
Gu Jinci nodded, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
"That system... actually has significant errors, it shouldn't have been released to the market now..."
"Huh?"
Gu Lanlan was surprised, "But I remember that system was already in use, wasn't it? And the media even praised it as a miracle in the medical field?"
"Yes... but actually the system itself hasn't passed my test yet... but Jiang Ning is impatient and insists on conducting the interviews according to plan so he can recoup his investment..."
"this……"
Gu Lanlan's eyes were wide open.
Although she didn't quite understand what she was hearing, she grasped the general meaning.
"How could Ah Ning..."
"I know she's your best friend, and you'll definitely trust her..."
No.
Gu Lanlan gripped Gu Jinci's hand tightly.
"I trust you."
She spoke these words to Gu Jinci with unwavering resolve.
Gu Jinci smiled.
The smile on her face was very gentle.
The smile in my heart was one of disdain.
“Jiang Ning is not what she used to be… She has countless assets, the largest of which is the Lu Group. When people reach this level, they inevitably become impatient for quick success and profit-driven… FZZL has a very hidden but serious loophole. I have advised Jiang Ning, but she will not listen… So, I had no choice but to think that I could pretend to pursue her and become her closest lover, so that I could find an opportunity to insert this into her computer and prevent FZZL from running.”
As Gu Jinci spoke, she took a USB flash drive from the leather bag on the bedside table.
"But Jiang Ning is very wary of me now... She's afraid I'll shut down FZZL and cause her to lose huge profits... Plus, I was really heartbroken after I broke up with you..."
Gu Jinci bit her lower lip, looking conflicted and torn.
Gu Lanlan felt sorry for Gu Jinci, and her gaze inadvertently fell on the USB drive.
"If I plug this into the computer at Aning's company, will that shut down the vulnerable system?"
"Lanlan..."
Gu Jinci was shocked.
"I can't let you take such a risk for me... Besides, if you do this, you probably won't be able to be friends with Jiang Ning anymore..."
After hearing Gu Jinci's words, Gu Lanlan fell silent, pressing her lips together into a straight line.
"If Ah Ning really disregards the safety of patients using AI-assisted diagnosis and treatment systems for money... then what I'm doing is a case of putting the greater good before personal relationships."
Gu Lanlan spoke clearly and distinctly.
Gu Jinci realized that Gu Lanlan was not saying this to him.
It was something she was saying to herself.
"Lanlan..."
Gu Jinci kissed Gu Lanlan on the cheek.
"Thank you for helping me."
"Um...it's what I should do..."
Even if it weren't for Gu Jinci, she didn't want Jiang Ning to become a person who only cared about profit.
Gu Lanlan gripped the USB drive tightly, her gaze gradually hardening.
The night was deep and dark, like a polluted sea.
In the old house on Sanhu Street, before Lu Junyan received the results of Xiao Zhang's investigation into Lin Wanrong, he first received a phone call from Lin Wanrong herself.
"Lu Junyan... It's my grandfather's 70th birthday the day after tomorrow. I've already sent you the invitation via WeChat..."
"I won't go."
Lu Junyan refused decisively and without any hesitation.
Silence fell on the phone.
However, the silence didn't last long.
“Refusing my grandfather’s invitation…won’t do your Lu family’s business any good.”
Lin Wanrong's voice was calm but sharp, and Lu Junyan knew perfectly well that Lin Wanrong was threatening him.
"I won't go."
Lu Junyan repeated it again.
This time, even through the phone, Lu Junyan could feel Lin Wanrong's anger.
Just as Lu Junyan was about to hang up, Lin Wanrong's voice came through the receiver again.
"Jiangning will also come."
Lu Junyan's fingers tightened around his phone.
Why did you invite Jiang Ning to your grandfather's birthday party?
"hehe……"
Lin Wanrong's clear laughter reached my ears.
"You'll know when you get here."
After saying that, Lin Wanrong hung up the phone first.
The busy signal vibrated in his ears, and Lu Junyan slowly put the phone down.
Just then, the phone rang again, but the caller ID no longer showed Lin Wanrong.
Lu Junyan answered the phone.
"Hey, Xiao Zhang?"
"Mr. Lu..."
Xiao Zhang on the other end of the phone sounded as serious as ever.
"There are two things I'd like to report to you."
