Looking at the news about Gu Liyan, Mo Chen smiled with satisfaction. "This guy never seems to have a moment's peace, looks like he's doing pretty well..."
Just then, the office door was pushed open. Mo Chen subconsciously put his phone away and looked up to see that it was Gu Muqing.
"Oh, it's you. What brings you here today?" Mo Chen exhaled and asked with some surprise.
"Of course I came to see you. There are some things I need to ask you in person," Gu Muqing said.
"What?" Mo Chen asked, puzzled.
"Stop pretending. I've found the pregnant woman who staged the accident before. They've already written a statement proving my brother's innocence. Also, I've investigated. My brother has no agreement with the Hua Group at all. It was all a conspiracy between you two to forge, wasn't it?" Gu Muqing questioned.
"Mo Chen, your brother treats you like his own brother, why would you frame him? He's given you all his assets, do you still want to kill him?"
Mo Chen looked at Gu Muqing and remained silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Even if you know the truth, so what? Do you think it's possible for the identities of the Mo Group and the Hua Group to be fake if they're made public? Muqing, I advise you to be smart and not try to fight a losing battle!"
Hearing Mo Chen's words, Gu Muqing slammed her hand on the table in a fit of rage, propping herself up with her arms and saying, word by word, "You must come forward to vouch for him! Otherwise, I will publish the will of the previous president of the Mo Group!"
Mo Chen raised an eyelid, smiled, and said, "Mu Qing, why bother doing something thankless and making everyone unhappy? If you do that, you're not only offending me, but also the Hua Group. That woman, Hua Yuxian, is far more ruthless than me..."
"I don't care, you have to come forward and testify!" Gu Muqing insisted.
"Heh, Mu Qing, I know you've investigated so much for Mo Li because you like him, but have you ever thought about it? Even if you do all this, Mo Li won't even glance at you," Mo Chen said.
“Mo Li can’t see any other woman but Hua Baixian right now. No matter how much you give, he will only feel gratitude towards you and no love whatsoever. Why bother?” Mo Chen said earnestly.
"Even so, I still have to do something for my brother. In short, you must give me an explanation today and give everyone the truth!" Gu Muqing said with a serious expression.
Mo Chen said helplessly, "Alright, I'll write a statement right now, is that alright?"
Gu Muqing nodded in relief upon hearing this, "Alright, if you dare to deceive me, I will immediately expose everything."
After saying that, Gu Muqing turned to leave, but Mo Chen narrowed his eyes and flashed behind her like lightning. He raised his hand and struck her on the back of the neck. Gu Muqing felt her whole body go numb and before she could react, her body went limp and she fainted.
"Sigh, what a troublesome girl." Mo Chen smiled as he looked at Gu Muqing in his arms, but his face was full of headache. "What should we do next?"
While Mo Chen was thinking about how to clear Gu Liyan's name, Hua Yuxian had already arrived at the teahouse and found Xuan Tiandao.
"Judging from this situation, Mo Li will be able to recover from the public opinion crisis in no time. Are you still thinking of making him ruin his reputation and then come begging to me? Won't that plan fall through?" Hua Yuxian frowned and said, "This time, you have to come up with a foolproof plan to ensure that he has no chance to recover!"
"Heh, there's no such thing as a foolproof plan. Don't you know yourself? As long as your sister is alive, he won't give you a second glance." Xuan Tiandao sneered. "If you don't harden your heart and get rid of Hua Baixian, don't even think about making him beg you. Even if you break all his limbs, the two of them will still live their lives as before."
Hua Baixian frowned and asked, "Then what other methods do you suggest?"
"Isn't your ultimate goal to get him? If so, why not just get rid of your rival?" Xuan Tiandao said with a smile, taking out a reagent bottle from his pocket and handing it to Hua Yuxian as he spoke.
Hua Yuxian asked in confusion, "What is this?"
“This is a virus codenamed Original Sin,” Xuan Tiandao said with a smile.
"Virus? Could it be that you caused this virus?!" Hua Yuxian looked at Xuan Tian in surprise.
"It wasn't me. I just got the goods from other people. There are some things you shouldn't know, so it's best not to ask," Xuan Tiandao immediately denied.
Hua Yuxian's expression turned serious upon hearing this. Looking at the green liquid in the reagent in her hand, she asked, "Is there an antidote for this virus?"
“The diluted antidote is still usable, but it’s more toxic. Once you’re afflicted by the Original Sin, there’s no cure,” Xuan Tiandao said.
"Then, what symptoms might there be?" Hua Yuxian asked after thinking for a moment.
Xuan Tiandao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The report says that ordinary people poisoned by the Original Sin will experience a state of suspended animation, which is not fatal."
Hua Yuxian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and nodded, "In that case, let's give it a try!"
Xuan Tiandao smiled but said nothing.
The hospital's test results came back, and apart from the man who carried the virus, no one else was infected. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced upon receiving this news.
Gu Liyan came out of the isolation room and saw Hua Baixian waiting for him with a worried look on her face. She hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "I told you everything was fine. You were really too worried."
Hua Baixian held Gu Liyan's hand and said, "You're not allowed to do such dangerous things next time. Do you know how worried I am about you?"
Gu Liyan smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go back and eat now, I've been starving for a long time."
"Yes." Hua Baixian nodded with a smile.
