Looking at the white pill, Ruan Baozhu backed away, her face filled with fear.
Suddenly, she thought of something and instead of retreating, she advanced, trying to grab Gu Zhengchi's trouser leg. Just as the latter was dodging, she heard Ruan Baozhu say emotionally:
"Don't send me away, don't abort my child."
I am useful, I am very useful.
I can have precognitive dreams and foresee the future.
Gu Zhengchi stared intently.
Ruan Baozhu quickly sat up. "Aren't you curious about why I was able to find you so accurately in Yunnan Province? It was the guidance of a dream."
Brother Zhengchi, I not only dreamt of the exact location where you were injured, but I also dreamt that those four people would fall from power two years from now.
I'm really useful.
Tian Tian, who was cooking in the kitchen, almost cut her hand with a kitchen knife, but she kept her shock hidden.
Dreaming of the future?
No wonder, no wonder someone of Gu Zhengchi's unattainable status would get involved with Ruan Baozhu, whom she looked down upon.
It turns out my dear cousin was hiding such a big secret!
She said that Gu Zhengchi's attitude towards Ruan Baozhu was strange. He couldn't hide the disgust on his face, but he still insisted on keeping her by his side.
Foresight, foresight...
Could she dream that she was the one who gave her syphilis sores?
This person cannot be allowed to live; a ruthless glint flashed in Tian Tian's eyes.
She moved slowly to the edge of the kitchen to try and hear more, when she heard a loud bang—the sound of the bedroom door being slammed shut.
Tian Tian was absent-minded until dinner was served, until she knocked on the bedroom door, until she met Ruan Baozhu's smug gaze and Gu Zhengchi's subtly appraising look...
At that moment, all thoughts in my mind vanished.
She couldn't act impulsively, and she couldn't even let the two people behind the door know that she had overheard the secret.
Dinner was served on separate plates, but Tian Tian couldn't eat it.
After dinner, Gu Zhengchi called her to another bedroom for a private talk.
“Your cousin was diagnosed early, and early-stage patients can receive treatment. She plans to keep the baby, and I agreed.”
For the foreseeable future, you'll have to take good care of her.
Don't worry, this disease isn't highly contagious; it only requires minimal physical contact.
Tian Tian's heart sank. "Brother Gu, I..."
Seeing the unyielding expression on Gu Zhengchi's face, she knew that she was being held under house arrest in a disguised form.
If Ruan Baozhu has great value to him, then she is nothing but a toy in his eyes.
A rather interesting thing compared to Nguyen Bao Chu's stupidity.
He liked the way she usually acted, and he liked the care she showed when she admired him and considered his needs in every way...
But these things became worthless after Nguyen Bao Chu revealed the secret, which increased their importance.
He wasn't even sure if he had overheard a secret, and just in case, he was willing to risk contracting syphilis to effectively imprison her in the house.
Gu Zhengchi sat in the only chair in the bedroom, looking up at Tian Tian, whose face was pale, his expression somewhat inscrutable.
"What are you trying to say? Also, you don't look well; are you feeling unwell?"
Tian Tian dared not show the slightest sign of discomfort, and gritted her teeth...
Faced with the choice between failing to escape by turning around and running away, and trying to appease the enemy by compromising, he chose to continue to sow discord between Nguyen Bao Chu and others.
She frowned, puzzled. "I thought Brother Gu wouldn't keep this child. Did my cousin threaten you again with the debt of saving her life?"
She's so inconsiderate.
Tian Tian spoke earnestly, as if every word she uttered was for Gu Zhengchi's benefit.
“There are many ways to repay kindness. I also feel sorry for your child, but there's no need to let it be born with suffering, and it's not that I'm instigating you to be jealous of your sister’s success.”
It's fine to take care of her; I was already doing that. Just like you said, this illness isn't transmitted through the air like a cold, as long as there's less physical contact.
I just feel sorry for Brother Gu. I don't want to see your first child born with a disability. I don't know what your sister said to you, but you should think about it some more.
Seeing her trying so hard to dissuade him under the guise of concern, she couldn't hide the emotion in her face and eyes that she was trying to sow discord between her and her cousin.
Gu Zhengchi felt a little relieved. Did he really not hear that?
That makes sense. A woman who spends all her time seducing men probably wouldn't understand even if she heard a few words about it.
But he will not let his guard down.
He spoke with a hidden meaning: "If she wants to have the baby, then let her have it. If the child is born with illnesses, we will actively treat it."
Then, changing the subject, she said, "It's too early to talk about these things now. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and I'm going back to the old house to be with Grandpa. Tian Tian will help me take care of Baozhu, right?"
Tian Tian struggled desperately, constantly trying to win over Ruan Baozhu. After finally managing to get Gu Zhengchi to leave, she collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.
Her first thought was to find Xianxian to save her life, as the situation was no longer under her control.
I finally managed to stay up until midnight, hoping to sneak out under the cover of darkness to deliver a message...
I cautiously opened the door a crack, and the dim light from the bathroom illuminated the sleeping face of the housekeeper in the living room.
Through the shadows cast on the wall, Tian Tian saw Ruan Baozhu fiddling with something inside the toilet...
She was familiar with this operation; she knew almost without thinking that Ruan Baozhu was trying to infect her with her venereal disease.
It nearly caused Tian Tian to have a heart attack. Even though she had anticipated this move, the impact of seeing it with her own eyes was still much stronger.
She almost bit her tongue, her mouth filled with bitterness. Had she known that Baozhu had a trump card, she would never have done something so harmful to herself and others.
The original plan was that once the other party tested positive for syphilis, Gu Zhengchi would immediately abort her child and kick her out...
Now not only has her plan fallen through, but she has also been effectively placed under house arrest. She is filled with deep regret.
etc……
If Ruan Baozhu knew to run out at night to do bad things, what about herself?
Could Gu Zhengchi possibly guess that if he were to make a move, he would be waiting in some hidden corner late at night to catch her red-handed?
Thinking of this, Tian Tian was terrified.
Gently close the door, recalling what Ruan Xiaoxian taught her: don't rush into things, always try to see things from another's perspective and handle them calmly.
For the next period of time, I really didn't leave the house, and even when I did go out occasionally, I didn't try to send any messages to anyone.
She wasn't sure if she was just being paranoid, but she remembered what Ruan Xianxian had taught her: "Be careful, don't make big mistakes; when you're unsure, just deal with the worst-case scenario."
While Tian Tian was constantly on guard against Ruan Baozhu inside and Gu Zhengchi outside, living in a state of turmoil, Ruan Xianxian was having a lively New Year with her family.
The occupancy rate of the 749 Bureau's family compound is very low. Most of the superhumans have been secretly taken here by the state and rarely contact their families.
The courtyard is mostly inhabited by researchers and their families, so it's rather deserted.
Early in the morning, Ruan Xianxian held a calligraphy brush, focused her energy, and stood in front of the red paper, splashing ink and wielding the brush. She thought her wild cursive script was superb, and the elderly people kept nodding in approval.
Grandma glanced at it and commented, "It has form but no substance. Anyone who doesn't know better would think it's some kind of house-protecting talisman that the bureau just issued."
