Zhan Jingting raised his eyes, his gaze filled with murderous intent!
The two men's eyes met in mid-air, the air thick with the suffocating smell of gunpowder!
"Get out," Zhan Jingting said first.
"I should be the one saying that to you." Lin Mo closed the door and calmly walked to the bedside. "I've made progress on Wanwan's antidote. I'll be able to develop it soon and wake her up safely. Now I need you to keep your promise and get out of here."
Zhan Jingting was taken aback, then quickly said, "Why should I believe you?"
“You have no choice. Wanwan’s life is in my hands now. Otherwise, do you really think those quack doctors you found can cure Wanwan? Zhan Jingting, in this world, money can’t solve everything.”
Zhan Jingting's grip on the armrest tightened slowly. "You know why Wanwan has become like this!"
"I never intended to hurt her. She's become like this because of you. If you hadn't appeared, she wouldn't have had to endure all this torment. Zhan Jingting, you shouldn't have been in her life at all!" Lin Mo said coldly. "I'll say it one last time: if you don't want anything to happen to Wanwan, keep your promise, divorce her, and get completely away from her!"
Zhan Jingting slowly released his grip, glanced at the girl on the hospital bed, and struggled to maneuver his wheelchair away.
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Dong came to greet him. "Master Zhan, the medical team said that Lin Mo seems to have made a new discovery, but he hasn't shared it with them yet."
"I already know," Zhan Jingting said in a deep voice. "Tell them to continue their research."
"Yes." Jiang Dong saw him about to enter the elevator and asked, "Master Zhan, Madam is still here. Where are you going?"
"This is none of our business."
Jiang Dong was confused but dared not ask, so he could only follow him into the elevator and into the parking lot.
Just as Zhan Jingting got into the car, Xiang Yang's voice suddenly rang in his ears, "Zhan Jingting!"
Xiang Yang got into the car and asked, "Was my guess right? You were blackmailed by Lin Mo into divorcing my boss, weren't you?"
Zhan Jingting remained expressionless. "Does that matter?"
"Of course it's important, it concerns my boss's happiness!"
"I'd rather she be alive than to enjoy the happiness you speak of."
Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, "You're admitting it. I guessed right. It really was Lin Mo who was behind it all... He drugged the boss to threaten you, didn't he?"
Zhan Jingting did not deny it. "I did it during the surgery on Wanwan's leg, but there were no traces. Even Wanwan herself did not notice anything unusual about her body. It was only after she fainted several times that I took her to the hospital for a detailed examination and discovered it. The doctor said that the poison she was given was carefully prepared. Even if an antidote could be developed, Wanwan would not live to see it. I had no choice but to accept Lin Mo's threat."
Xiang Yang's heart skipped a beat. "I never expected Lin Mo to be so heartless, and I never expected that you would be willing to push her away for the sake of the boss's safety."
“Nothing is more important than keeping Wanwan alive,” Zhan Jingting said with a slight smile. “She’s so young, she has a long, long road ahead of her. I can’t let her die.”
"But you're in pain inside, aren't you?" Xiang Yang pressed. "Every word you said at the Civil Affairs Bureau was a lie. You never looked down on her; on the contrary, you loved her very much, didn't you?"
Zhan Jingting closed his eyes in anguish, "I've never stopped loving her..."
Xiang Yang's nose tingled, and he was so moved that he almost couldn't hold back his tears. "Zhan Jingting, now that I'm back, you're not alone. I will definitely help you fight against Lin Mo!"
"Don't be impulsive." Zhan Jingting opened his eyes and said calmly, "If I had a choice, I would not let Lin Mo threaten me. Wanwan is my weakness. If I am not careful, her life will be threatened. So I have to think carefully before making any decision."
“I understand. We’ll explain it to Lin Mo after she heals my boss.”
Zhan Jingting smiled faintly, "You're thinking too simply. Since Lin Mo dared to threaten me, how could he not have a backup plan?"
"Then what should I do?"
“There’s no other way right now, we can only compromise as much as possible. And Wanwan is in critical condition right now, the most important thing is to keep her alive.” Zhan Jingting turned to look at him. “Now that you know the truth, Lin Mo will definitely come to you to warn you and threaten you to keep it a secret. Remember, for Wanwan’s sake, you must agree unconditionally.”
Xiang Yang nodded with difficulty, "Okay, for the sake of the boss, I won't act impulsively."
......
As Zhan Jingting had expected, Xiang Yang received a call from Lin Mo early the next morning: "I have developed an antidote."
"Then why aren't you giving it to my boss?"
"Xiang Yang, you're not stupid, you should know why I'm calling you."
"I know you want me to keep quiet and not say a word."
“I’m doing this for your own good. Actually, you shouldn’t have come back from abroad this time at all.” Lin Mo chuckled on the other end of the phone. “I can give Wanwan the antidote and wake her up safely, but just in case, I won’t completely cure her. So if she finds out the truth from you or anyone else, she’ll still die.”
Xiang Yang's hand holding the phone trembled. "Lin Mo, do you really love my boss? If you really loved her, you wouldn't have hurt her like this. So you only love yourself!"
"You don't need to educate me, you just need to do as I say. From now on, you must do whatever I say."
"You know I have no reason to refuse, Lin Mo, you're a devil!"
“I’ve said it before, I love Wanwan. As long as Zhan Jingting stays away from her world, I will make sure she lives a good life. This will not affect you at all. She will still be your boss.”
Xiang Yang hung up the phone and turned to look at the man beside him. "You heard it all. Lin Mo has gone mad with power."
Zhan Jingting's handsome face remained expressionless. "I've said it before, all I want is for Wanwan to live safely. Xiang Yang, promise me you won't do anything that could threaten her life."
Xiang Yang slowly tightened his grip on the phone in his hand. "I promise you, I will stay with you and protect my boss."
......
When Qiao Wanwan woke up, she felt lightheaded and unreal.
Before her eyes was Lin Mo's handsome face. "Wanwan, you're finally awake."
Qiao Wanwan wanted to speak, but she had no strength at all.
Lin Mo removed the respirator from her face. "You were poisoned, but you survived by a hair's breadth. You're out of danger now. Don't be afraid, I'll stay here."
Qiao Wanwan's voice was extremely weak, "Where is Xiang Yang?"
"Xiang Yang went out to eat. I'll call him back right now."
"good."
Less than twenty minutes later, Xiang Yang rushed back, hugged Qiao Wanwan and burst into tears, "Boss, you're finally awake! You scared me to death!"
Qiao Wanwan raised her hand and touched his head. "I'm fine now. Where's Zhan Jingting?"
