He accessed his patient database, and one of the patients looked exactly like this Matt.
This patient wasn't named Matt, nor was he an executive at HT; on the contrary, he was an actor.
"Where are you from?" Gu Fanyan asked.
“My patient database, top secret.” Lin Guangchen took the phone back. “You’ll forget about it after you’ve looked at it.”
Gu Fanyan's anger was burning.
Lin Zhibai deliberately set her up.
"There's no benefit in exposing him here, is there?" Lin Guangchen kindly reminded him.
Gu Fanyan glanced at Gu Zheng and admitted that he was right.
Falling out with Lin Zhibai here would only make Gu Zheng laugh at him.
But she couldn't swallow her anger and turned to leave.
"Sister Fanyan." She bumped into Lin Leming. "It's been a while."
She gave a faint "hmm".
"Have a drink, Sister Fanyan," Lin Leming casually took a glass of wine from the tray of a passing waiter and respectfully handed it to her: "I'd like to toast you."
Gu Fanyan took the wine glass, but did not drink it immediately. She only said, "What a coincidence that we met here."
Lin Leming shook his head: "It's not really a coincidence. I heard that Lin Guangchen came here for vacation with you, and after checking, I found out that the scenery here is quite nice, so I brought my two elders with me."
"Look, my aunt brought Miss Sheng along too. It seems my brother Lin Zhibai is about to have a good time."
After saying that, he drank his glass of wine and said with a smile, "Sister Fanyan, you won't refuse, will you?"
Gu Fanyan didn't want to listen to him nagging about Lin Zhibai and Sheng Xin, so she decided to finish her drink and leave quickly.
Suddenly, a large hand reached out and took the wine glass from her hand.
He gulped down the wine in the glass.
"I'll drink this glass of wine for her."
Gu Fanyan glanced at the newcomer, her eyes immediately flashing with anger.
Lin Zhibai!
He played her for a fool, and then had the nerve to pretend to be a good person!
"Brother, you're protecting Sister Fanyan, aren't you?" Lin Leming grinned mischievously. "Don't you know she's Brother Guangchen's girlfriend?"
"You've finished your drink, get out of here," Lin Zhibai snapped without any politeness.
Lin Leming was embarrassed and wanted to retort, but Lin Zhibai continued, "Believe me or not, I'll cut off all your credit cards?"
Lin Leming's momentum immediately deflated.
All his credit cards were registered under Lin Zhibai's name... His parents had no money at all, and this was all thanks to his mother's desperate pleas to Lin's mother.
Lin Leming could only leave reluctantly.
Gu Fanyan glared at Lin Zhibai and whispered angrily, "We'll settle our score later."
Lin Zhibai smiled and said, "Why wait until later? It's just about the fake Might. I can tell you why right now."
"Come with me." He turned and walked out.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Gu Fanyan followed her out.
Sheng Xin watched this scene from afar, her fingers twisting incessantly, as if she wanted to break them.
"Is this all you can do, just stand there and watch?" Lin's mother came to her side, her sharp gaze filled with disappointment.
“Auntie…” Sheng Xin said with a wronged expression, “I’ve tried many methods, but Brother Zhibai just ignores me.”
"Oh," Lin's mother replied coldly, clearly not wanting to hear the details.
Sheng Xin understood that if things continued like this, she would lose Lin's mother's support.
"I'm sorry, Auntie, I will continue to work hard." Sheng Xin chased after her.
Not far from the glass room, Gu Fanyan stopped on the path, unwilling to go any further.
"Just say what you have to say," she urged impatiently.
Lin Zhibai stopped, his eyes full of doting affection: "How did you know Matt was fake? Did Lin Guangchen tell you?"
"You admitted it quite readily," Gu Fanyan glared angrily with her beautiful eyes, "Why did you play me?"
"Because of Gu..."
"Brother Zhibai!" He had just opened his mouth when Shengxin interrupted him, "Brother Zhibai, Auntie asked me to invite you in. She has something important to tell you."
A cold smile appeared on Gu Fanyan's lips. Sheng Xin's arrival was quite timely.
Lin Zhibai saw her cold smile and couldn't help but frown.
Could she possibly think that this was all part of his plan?
"You go back first," Lin Zhibai said calmly. "I understand."
Sheng Bai refused to leave, pleading with a pained expression, "Brother Zhibai, why don't you go to Auntie's first? You can talk to Sister Fanyan later. Otherwise, Auntie will think Sister Fanyan is bothering you again..."
Gu Fanyan sneered, "Yes, Lin Zhibai, for the sake of my reputation, you should go there too."
She took a step and left.
As she walked past him, he grabbed her arm. "Don't go," he whispered in her ear, "there was something wrong with that drink."
She looked up in disgust: "Lin Zhibai, what trick are you playing now?"
However, the pleading and anxiety in his eyes could not be faked.
Gu Fanyan recalled Lin Leming's behavior earlier and realized that he did indeed seem to have deliberately made her drink...
Therefore, he drank the problematic wine in her place.
He doesn't want to go with Sheng Xin now because he's worried that Sheng Xin will use this opportunity to make trouble.
"Sister Fanyan," Shengxin spoke again, "Why don't you try to persuade Brother Zhibai? Why make things so tense?"
She was reminding Gu Fanyan that Gu Fanyan had promised to help her get closer to Lin Zhibai.
Gu Fanyan was in a dilemma.
Lin Zhibai helped her drink the problematic wine and even asked her for help. Could she be so heartless as to push him towards Sheng Xin?
But if she does that, it would be a great way to get rid of Lin Zhibai!
"I'll take you home first." Before she could make a decision, he had already grabbed her arm and started walking forward.
Sheng Xin wanted to say something more, but then she saw Lin Zhibai give her a cold glance, his gaze sharp as a knife.
She felt a tremor in her heart and dared not take another step forward.
Lin Zhibai's breathing became increasingly labored. He walked into a secluded corner, where he could no longer move.
"What kind of medicine is this? It's too strong." He wasn't lying; his forehead was covered in sweat, and large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.
He was also extremely thirsty, and his lips developed a layer of dry, white skin.
“You can’t just stay here,” Gu Fanyan frowned. “You should at least go back to your room.”
"I can't move." His injured foot had injured itself from walking too fast.
"I'll support you." Gu Fanyan grabbed his arm.
His height of over 180 cm instantly obscured her figure.
Lin Zhibai waved his hand, saying that she was too slender and would be exhausted if she managed to help him into the room.
"Go to the resort's service hall and bring a wheelchair," Lin Zhibai said.
Gu Fanyan nodded; she was indeed lacking in strength.
"Sister Fanyan." She had just turned around and taken a few steps when she suddenly heard him call out.
She turned her head in confusion, thinking he had something else to say, but she heard him say, "You must come back. Don't leave me here alone."
There was a hint of pleading in his handsome eyes.
He was worried that he would faint, lose his mind, or fall into someone's trap.
A strange mix of emotions stirred within Gu Fanyan.
