Chapter 106 He Wants to Remember It For a Lifetime
Song Nuan's face suddenly darkened, and her fingertips clenched tightly: "That guy is actually a hacker..."
This is a first-level hospital funded by the Yu family. It is highly intelligent, and even every door can be remotely controlled by AI.
Once the system is controlled by someone with ulterior motives, the entire building will become an airtight cage.
In the pitch-black environment, Yu Heng's voice was exceptionally clear, carrying with it an unconcealed anxiety: "The bodyguards at home will be coming to pick you up soon. Don't run around."
As soon as the words fell, the screen on the wall suddenly lit up, and a string of cold words rolled before their eyes.
——Yu Zhi, I’m waiting for you in the equipment room. Come over here alone.
"You still want me to go there alone, and you think I'm stupid..." Yu Zhi's words suddenly stopped.
She watched as a video suddenly popped up on the screen. The man had a circle of remote-controlled explosives wrapped around his waist and abdomen, and a remote control with a cold glow was in his hand.
The expressions of the two men suddenly turned ugly.
The text above is still jumping.
—As soon as possible, I don’t have much patience.
Yu Zhi gritted her teeth and said, "Here you go again, destroying everything together."
Song Nuan glanced at her watch and said calmly, "Go ahead. I'll wait for your bodyguard here."
"If I hadn't told you to, you wouldn't have stopped me? Aren't you afraid that something might happen to me?"
Her heart was eight degrees below zero.
"What are you stopping?" Song Nuan raised her eyes. "He has explosives. If he irritates people, will everyone go to heaven together?"
Yu Zhi: “…”
[Host, you must hold on! I'm still bound to you. If you die, I'll have nowhere else to parasitize.]
Xiaoshui's sobbing sound was a cold electronic sound, floating in the dark corridor, weird and harsh.
But only Yu Zhi could hear it.
Her fists were stiff, but she suppressed the urge to curse Tong.
Yu Zhi took a deep breath and looked at Song Nuan: "I'll leave my brother's side to you. If possible, help me evacuate them all."
"Okay." Song Nuan nodded, with an unquestionable coldness in her words, "But that person's life will be left to me."
There was no worry in her tone that Yu Zhi wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.
Yu Zhi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "You are quite confident in me."
Song Nuan said nothing, but pressed the gun into her hand, her fingertips slightly cold: "If the situation requires, you can kill me."
The atmosphere suddenly became depressing.
Yu Zhi hid the gun, turned around and stepped into the emergency exit.
In the stairwell, the green light of the emergency light spread, making everything look unfamiliar.
The sound of her boots stepping on the steps echoed clearly in the empty environment.
The equipment room was on the sixth floor, and Yu Zhi arrived there quickly.
As if sensing her arrival, the door lock made a click.
The door slowly opened in front of Yu Zhi.
She stepped in and saw the man sitting upright on the sofa.
His mask and hat were removed, revealing his real face.
Yu Zhi looked at him, her hands clenched into fists uncontrollably, complex emotions surging in her eyes.
"Sister Zhi, you don't seem surprised."
Lu Zhuoyuan smiled with his eyes curved as usual, and his tone was so relaxed that it seemed as if there was no tension between the two of them at all.
"Maybe, I should call you Song Mingjue." Yu Zhi's voice was soft, but weighty.
The person in front of him was the child of the third daughter of the Song family, and his actual age was a few months older than Yu Heng.
When Lu Zhuoyuan heard the name, his eyes flickered, then he chuckled and stood up from the sofa, the remote control spinning around at his fingertips like an inconspicuous gadget.
"Actually, I'm more looking forward to you calling me Yu Mingjue. After all, we are blood relatives."
He smiled, but his eyes were filled with red veins, like a trapped beast on the verge of losing control.
Even though she knew the answer, Yu Zhi still felt her heart sink: "So, your mother is indeed my father's ex?"
"Ridiculous!" Lu Zhuoyuan slammed the table, his expression distorted with ferocity.
"Yu Shubai is a beast! My mother loved him so much she even broke off her engagement to elope with him, and he turned around and married someone else, dragging us into this quagmire!"
Back then, the Song family settled in Country M and was involved in all sorts of gray industries.
The third daughter of the Song family has been engaged to a new noble from Country M since she was a child. This should have been a springboard for the Song family to whitewash itself, but at the critical moment, she was found to be pregnant.
Such a scandal was intolerable in the aristocratic circle. Not only did it ruin the marriage, but the Song family was also targeted by many parties.
A daughter who has no use value and is a troublemaker has no right to survive in the Song family.
Therefore, the pregnant Miss Song was driven to the side building where the servants lived, and lived a life worse than pigs and dogs.
Later, Song Mingjue was born. As an unrecognized bastard, his life was even harder than those of the Song family's illegitimate children.
He couldn't even remember how many times he had been on the brink of death in his childhood.
The red in Lu Zhuoyuan's eyes grew even darker, and his voice trembled: "When my mother was seriously ill, I finally found Yu Shubai's whereabouts, but what I saw was your family of four having fun together! How ironic..."
Yu Zhi's shoulders were shaking, and she couldn't tell whether she was angry or not: "So... you planned my parents' accident?"
"That's right!" Lu Zhuoyuan admitted frankly, his tone filled with madness, "But that's not enough! All of you in the Yu family deserve to die. You are the source of my suffering! It's all your fault!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Yu Heng suddenly rushed in, and his roar made people's ears hurt.
Yu Zhi was startled and even stopped him from pouncing on her.
"It was clearly your mother who shamelessly climbed into my father's bed to repay a favor! Why are you playing the victim here, you bastard—"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Zhuoyuan was completely irritated and rushed towards Yu Heng with bloodshot eyes.
The scene instantly became chaotic.
Yu Zhi was so anxious that she hugged Yu Heng's lower back: "Brother! Don't provoke him, he's sick!"
"My sister is right. You are seriously ill. You have paranoid delusions..."
Yu Zhi slapped Yu Heng on the head with such force that Yu Heng was completely stunned: "Why did you hit me?"
"Brother, I'm not kidding." Yu Zhi's expression was serious. "He has schizophrenia."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhuoyuan on the opposite side suddenly hugged his head, his body shaking uncontrollably, and fine beads of cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
The remote control in his hand also fell to the ground and slid far away.
Yu Zhi seized the opportunity, lowered her center of gravity, swept with one leg, and kicked the remote control to a farther corner.
Lu Zhuoyuan wanted to snatch it, but his body seemed to be restrained by something and his movements were stiff.
He slammed his head hard and roared in pain, "You idiot! It's almost over, why did you have to run out now--"
Yu Heng took the opportunity to rush over and picked up the remote control.
Because of excessive tension, his legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, his breathing a little heavy.
Only then did I realize that my back was already soaked with cold sweat, and the sticky fabric stuck to my skin, making it icy cold.
Seeing Yu Zhi about to walk towards Lu Zhuoyuan, Yu Heng hurriedly shouted: "Zhizhi, don't go near him. Our people will be here soon."
Yu Zhi stopped one meter away and used her eyes to confirm that the explosives on his waist would not explode automatically. Only then did the tense nerves in her heart relax a little.
She looked at Lu Zhuoyuan curled up in pain, and the ice in her eyes gradually melted, replaced by complex emotions: "When I was tracking it down, I convinced myself countless times that it couldn't be you..."
Lu Zhuoyuan's trembling stopped.
He slowly raised his head, his face as pale as paper, the madness in his eyes completely disappeared, leaving only a hint of fragile collapse: "Sister Zhi..."
"I don't want to, I really don't want to..." His voice was hoarse, tears falling to the ground, "But I can't suppress the voice in my heart. Believe me, I really just want to be a good doctor, I..."
Yu Zhi turned her face away and dug her nails deep into her palms. The sharp pain suppressed the emotion that shouldn't have been there.
But my throat felt like it was blocked by a ball of hot cotton, sore and swollen, and I couldn't make a sound.
"Bang--"
A loud bang suddenly exploded.
The dull sound of the bullet piercing the flesh was right next to her ears, and warm liquid instantly splashed onto Yu Zhi's porcelain-white face.
She froze for a moment, and when she turned around, she saw blood oozing from Lu Zhuoyuan's forehead and his body falling straight backwards.
There was a wide-open window behind him. He was like a kite with a broken string, drawing a downward arc in the sky and disappearing in an instant.
The liquid slid down his cheeks and gradually turned cool.
Yu Zhi's pupils contracted violently, her fingertips trembled, her whole body felt like it was drenched in ice water, even the coldness seeped through the gaps between her bones. The feeling of exhaustion overwhelmed her, and she could hardly stand.
It was unknown how long it took before she recovered and turned around tiredly.
At the door, Song Nuan had already put away his gun.
There was no smile on her face, only a kind of almost cruel joy. Her eyes did not linger when they swept over Yu Zhi.
He just gave Yu Heng a deep look, then turned and left without any hesitation.
Yu Heng immediately stepped forward and supported Yu Zhi's weak body.
Yu Zhi gently waved her hand, her voice hoarse: "Brother, this... I'll leave it to you."
"I'll ask Zhou Qiyin to take you home."
Yu Zhi did not refuse, but just lowered her eyes and rubbed her cheek with her fingertips, which still left a hint of coldness.

Pei family
The hands of the wall clock slowly slid towards 11:58. There was no light on in the master bedroom, only the floor-to-ceiling windows were wide open.
The layout of the house was exactly the same as the day Yu Zhi left. The evening breeze blew in with a cool feeling, lifting the hem of the man's clothes that fell on his knees.
Pei Yuezhou leaned back on the couch, holding a half-empty wine bottle between his fingertips, with three or four empty bottles rolling around at his feet.
The neon lights outside the window filled the room, casting alternating light and dark on his pale, almost transparent profile.
But the corners of his eyes were tinged with red, and even his long eyelashes seemed to be touched by fragile light when he lowered his eyes.
The whole person is like an exquisite but cracked piece of porcelain, so lonely that he is about to melt into the night.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound at the door.
Pei Yuezhou didn't even raise his eyes. His voice was as cold as ice and hoarse from drinking: "Get out."
A familiar chuckle came from behind me, soft and gentle, like a feather caressing my heart: "If I go out, who will celebrate our little bitter melon's birthday with me?"
Pei Yuezhou's body suddenly stiffened, and the wine bottle at his fingertips hit the carpet with a "clang".
He turned around slowly, his red eyes still carrying a dull pain that had not dissipated. The moment his gaze met the person's eyes, his whole body froze.
Yu Zhi was standing at the door, still feeling a little chilly from the night, with a smile on her face and her hair swaying gently in the wind, like moonlight falling on earth.
It was so bright that it even slowed down his breathing.
She held a bunch of hibiscus flowers in full bloom in her hand, with tiny water droplets on the petals. She raised them towards him and her voice was so sweet that it made his ears feel hot.
"Happy birthday, Ayue."
Pei Yuezhou looked at her, his Adam's apple moved, but he couldn't make any sound, and even the bitterness in his eyes became hot.
He finally couldn't help himself and stepped forward, hugging her tightly in his arms.
He thought he would remember this uncontrollable heartbeat for the rest of his life.
