Chapter 279: The First Grand Secretary (41)
This is the plot of the original novel. Qin Yuege waited for Gu Sui to marry her, but as she waited, Gu Sui was still with Shen Jiao by his side, and the person he was to marry in the end was also Shen Jiao. On their wedding day, Qin Yuege went crazy. She couldn't accept what was happening. Gu Sui was hers, and could only be hers.
So she came, led Guizhi out, and then went into the bridal chamber herself. She didn't know that Liu Qi was guarding outside the bridal chamber in the shadows. As long as Wen Wan called out, Liu Qi would come into the room and take Qin Yuege away.
"Gu Sui is mine. Didn't I tell you? What's meant to happen will happen. Haven't you experienced it yourself?"
Wen Yan: "..."
Qin Yuege was talking about the flower thief, but the story was so different from the original plot.
After all, the one who kidnapped her wasn't some womanizer, but an assassin.
"Regardless, what's done is done. Gu Sui and I are married now, and you should step aside. Although I don't feel I owe you anything, I can give you some money to get rid of your slave status and let you leave the Shen family, considering the identity you're using." Wen Wan said. It was impossible for her to give up Gu Sui. Even if the original Shen Yuege came, Wen Wan would not give up.
Qin Yuege was furious.
How could you expect her to give up everything for such a small thing?
The next second, Qin Yuege took out a dagger and rushed towards Wen Wan. Wen Wan was about to call Liu Qi in, but she couldn't open her mouth. Her throat hurt, and she instantly lost all strength.
Staring wide-eyed at Qin Yuege, he asked, "System, what did Qin Yuege do?"
System: [I'm still investigating.]
There was no poison in the pastry, and the host showed no signs of poisoning or drugging. The system even sensed a barrier around them, so even if Wen Wan was killed, no one outside would know.
Even the system itself doesn't know what kind of method this is.
Could it be because of the female lead?
Wen Yan: "..."
What doesn't seem to matter now is that Qin Yuege seems to want to kill her.
Qin Yuege walked towards Wen Wan and grabbed her hair. "Are you curious why you have no strength and can't make a sound? You think you've taken everything from me, but things shouldn't have turned out this way. Gu Sui is mine, give him back to me."
Qin Yuege was almost ready to give up, but just when she was in despair, a voice suddenly rang out, telling her whether she wanted to take everything back. Qin Yuege naturally wanted to, so someone helped her.
As for the price, the man didn't say, but Qin Yuege didn't care. As long as everything changed, she would be satisfied.
Wen Yan: "..."
System, please help!
The system was also bewildered. It had no way to request a cheat code from its superiors, and this sudden turn of events left it at a loss. [I'll leave now.]
"Where to? And most importantly, how do I get there?"
I'll take your soul with me first, so at least the mission won't fail because of you. I'll request to my superiors to restart the mission.
Wen Wan shook her head. "No, if we restart the mission, what about Gu Sui? Will he still like me? Will he still be Gu Sui?"
system:【……】
In this situation, isn't saving your life the most important thing?
"Chen Jiao, go to hell." Qin Yuege wanted to plunge the knife into Wen Wan's heart. Wen Wan grabbed the knife and used all her strength to stop it, but it still slowly pierced her heart. The pain instantly brought back some strength to Wen Wan, and she bit Qin Yuege's hand as if she wanted to tear off a piece of flesh.
Qin Yuege felt a sharp pain and instinctively released her grip, allowing Wen Wan to quickly snatch the dagger from her hand.
The two quickly began to fight, and the system, watching with extreme anxiety, ["I only have a little invisibility potion left. You need to get away from Qin Yuege immediately, I'll use it right away."]
Upon hearing the system's words, Wen Wan used all her strength to escape Qin Yuege's grasp. The next second, the drug took effect, and Qin Yuege watched helplessly as the person disappeared before her eyes.
Qin Yuege was greatly shocked, "Where is he?"
They searched everywhere, but couldn't find anyone.
At that moment, the voice quickly shouted, "Run!"
Qin Yuege could only leave the room indignation and quickly escape from the Shen family.
If the Shen family finds out she hurt Miss Shen, they will definitely kill her; she doesn't want to die.
Standing at the entrance of the Shen family's residence, Qin Yuege stared fiercely at the family.
She will come back, and when she does, she will take back everything that belongs to her.
...
After Qin Yuege left, Liu Qi immediately noticed something strange and quickly knocked on the door.
"Miss Shen? Is Miss Shen here? Miss Shen!!!" Liu Qi pushed the door open and saw signs of a fight inside, but no one was there. Wen Wan looked around but still couldn't find any trace of Miss Shen.
So she quickly called for help. Guizhi ran over and found it strange that the madam hadn't called her at all. Someone must have led her away. Guizhi was terrified, fearing that something had happened to her young mistress, so she rushed back. She saw Liu Qi, but not her young mistress.
Where is Miss?
"It's my fault that she was taken away. I didn't protect her." Although he didn't know how Miss Shen was taken away, it was a fact that she was taken away. Liu Qi felt that his career was probably over.
Meanwhile, Gu Sui was toasting people when he felt a bad premonition. So he quickly made an excuse to leave and headed towards the new house. However, he was bumped into by someone halfway there. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his new wife.
"Ah Jiao?"
Wen Wan's face was deathly pale, and there was blood on her face. Only when she saw him did she feel relieved enough to faint.
"Gillian Chung!!!"
"Help! Someone, come here!!!"
The entire Shen family was quickly alarmed. When Mr. and Mrs. Shen, who were entertaining the guests, arrived, Mrs. Shen fainted from fright. Mr. Shen quickly called for a doctor and then went to comfort the guests.
However, everyone who needed to know already knew.
On her wedding day, Miss Shen was attacked by an assassin and was in critical condition; she was likely to die.
The doctor arrived at the Shen family home quickly and stayed for two days and two nights. Gu Sui also waited outside for two days and two nights, looking extremely unwell.
When asked, Guizhi had no idea that the maid who had called for someone to lead the way was actually a maidservant of Shen's mother, but she had lost part of her memory and had no idea what she had done.
As for Liu Qi, he knew nothing when asked and could not give a clear answer.
The most important thing now is whether the person is alright.
The doctor came out.
Gu Sui rushed over to ask about the situation. The doctor shook his head. "The knife is stuck in her heart, and she has lost too much blood. I can't guarantee that Miss Shen will be alright. Now it's up to God."
Gu Sui felt his mind go black and almost fainted.
"Impossible, how could this be? This is absolutely impossible, Gillian will be fine."
The doctor sighed. He also felt that life was unpredictable. This loving couple was truly cruel to God.
Extremely happy yet sad, looking at Gu Sui's face, the doctor continued, "Lord Gu, you must also take care of your health. Don't fall ill, or Miss Shen will worry." He quickly gave Gu Sui a few acupuncture needles, afraid that he might faint, which would make things even worse.
Gu Sui couldn't hear what the doctor was saying at all; he couldn't even feel his own condition anymore.
After that, Gu Sui sat down next to Wen Wan and watched.
...
Wen Wan is fine.
She won't die, but she'll lose too much blood and won't wake up.
The system needs to report this unexpected incident, after all, it's too outrageous. Its host did nothing, yet it was punished by a force that clearly doesn't belong to this world. This is simply unheard of and unseen.
Wen Wan also felt wronged.
The final result was that his body was ruined.
The force that helped Qin Yuege was probably some unknown power. It was that power that brought Qin Yuege to this world, replacing the original Qin Yuege to follow the plot. Its purpose was probably to plunder the protagonist's luck. Who would have thought that its host would be so outrageous as to steal away the male lead? In essence, its own female lead is now the luck heroine of this world. So that thing went mad and wanted to destroy its own host and restore the original plot.
Wen Yan: "..."
That's outrageous; it's even more outrageous than the imagination of a web novelist like her.
"Then what should I do?"
System: [Two solutions have been provided: 1. Restart the storyline, return to the beginning, and complete the mission again. 2. Change your body; nothing will change.]
Wen Yan: "..."
Wen Wan carefully considered these two paths. According to the system, choosing the first path would be equivalent to formatting everything. Gu Sui would not remember anything that had happened, and she wouldn't even be sure of the time she would arrive at after the plot was restarted.
In other words, Wen Wan may even arrive after Gu Sui marries Shen Yuege.
Wen Wan felt numb all over just thinking about it.
Is this still Gu Sui? It is Gu Sui, but it is definitely not the Gu Sui I know anymore.
However, the good thing is that Qin Yuege will not come to this world to deal with him again, which means that the original female lead is the one following the plot.
As for choosing the second ending, that would involve a body swap. Putting aside whether others could accept it, would Gu Sui be able to accept it? That would be a very troublesome matter.
Neither option was a good one, and Wen Wan didn't want to choose either.
However, the system showed her Gu Sui's current condition: "Host, if you don't make a decision soon, Gu Sui's health is poor, and he's in too much pain right now. He might even suddenly pass away. If he dies, it means the mission has failed, and you won't even have a choice."
Wen Yan: "..."
This is a threat to her; it's a blatant threat.
The system continued, "[To compensate the host, this situation is an accident. The Transmigration Bureau isn't some inhumane place. It can alter the memories of other people in the host's world. You are still the daughter of the Shen family. What they remember is your later appearance. You don't need to worry about being kicked out.]"
[But none of this can be done to the male lead. However, it's not impossible. Why not just make him believe you're Shen Jiao? You don't even have that much confidence? Host, this isn't like you at all.]
Wen Yan: "..."
In the end, Wen Wan made a choice. She chose the second option, at least she still had a chance to make Gu Sui believe that she was still herself, instead of restarting everything, in which case everything would be different, and Wen Wan didn't know how she would bear it.
