Chapter 252 I Promise You



Fu Wenzhi nodded with a gentle smile on his face, then closed the door.

Lu Ze, who was standing closest to Fu Wenzhi, suddenly jumped back to create a safe distance, then shouted, "Wait! You don't really want to beat us up, do you?!"

"Let me tell you, I'm not afraid to fight back!"

Fu Wenzhi ignored Lu Ze, looked at Chen Shuo, and said, "Tell us about the news from For."

Lu Ze: ? ? ?

Lu Ze was still a little confused: "What are you talking about? Talk to me, who is Fell?"

"I feel like a clown because you guys are ignoring me."

Fu Wenzhi sighed, wondering why Tang Wan hadn't taken Lu Ze, that chatterbox, out with her earlier.

Then he said, "Be quiet for a moment."

Lu Ze: ...

Lu Ze felt that Fu Wenzhi and Tang Wan were going too far; the closer they got, the more they treated him as an outsider.

I'm clearly the one who's family with Tang Wan!

But Lu Ze also knew that what Fu Wenzhi and Tang Wan were doing was not something that ordinary people could participate in.

In order to prevent their plan from falling through, Lu Ze obediently sat down and pressed the mute button on himself.

Chen Shuo was somewhat surprised that the "food chain" among friends had evolved to this extent.

However, his attention quickly shifted to Fu Wenzhi. Although he had already decided to tell them, he still said bluntly, "If you say that, will I tell you?"

Now that the Chen family and the Brown family are about to cooperate deeply, if I were to say it now, wouldn't I be putting my family in a very difficult position?

Although he didn't understand why his brother did this, but...

Chen Shuo closed his eyes, in great pain.

I rationally told myself that I should abandon my family; it was for the sake of more people.

But his emotions silenced him.

Those are my family members!

This is the home where I grew up!

Seeing Chen Shuo struggling like this, Fu Wenzhi suddenly said, "I didn't expect that you would lose your intelligence while you were abroad."

Chen Shuo: ? ? ?

I was a little taken aback by the sudden scolding.

Is this how Fu Wenzhi's temper is now?

They start arguing with people at the drop of a hat!

However, Fu Wenzhi's expression remained gentle and refined, as if he were not the one who had just spoken so venomously.

Chen Shuo looked at Fu Wenzhi, trying to figure out the meaning of his words, when he heard Fu Wenzhi say something.

Do you know why you were assigned to this hospital?

When Chen Shuo thought about how he had been all alone these past few days, the emotions that had just risen within him vanished instantly, and he became lifeless at a visible speed.

In the end, all that remained in his mouth was: "I don't know, and I don't care."

To everyone's surprise, Fu Wenzhi said, "You should care about this."

"What's the meaning?"

Seeing that Chen Shuo really didn't know anything, Fu Wenzhi sighed and explained, "This looks like a hospital, but it's actually a very private sanatorium. The people living here are like Grandma Si."

"Now, do you understand what I mean?"

Chen Shuo's expression was blank; he looked dazed.

He remained silent for a long time before, as if finding his voice, his body began to tremble: "You mean..."

Is our family like the Xue family now?

He didn't say those words aloud, but Fu Wenzhi understood.

Fu Wenzhi nodded and said directly, "Arranging for you to stay here, so that no one else can come in, is also for your safety."

"You should know that your family members have all gone abroad, just to put the Brown family at ease."

"You came back because of Fell's release. Although we don't know what he wants to do, protecting you is never a mistake. Although you've lost your freedom, at least you've saved your life, haven't you?"

After Fu Wenzhi finished speaking, he saw Chen Shuo lying limply on the hospital bed, as if all his strength had been drained away, still repeating, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is..."

"No wonder my brother told Fell that he wanted me to come back too, saying that I knew Tang Wan and that he wanted me to be the bait. So that's why he wanted me to come home..."

At this point, Chen Shuo covered his eyes with his hands, raised his head, and stopped looking at Fu Wenzhi.

As for Lu Ze, he had already opened his eyes wide and was huddled in the corner, wishing he were deaf!

Help! Is this really a message I can hear?!

ah?

Chen Shuo's life is a life, but isn't my own life a life too?!

Lu Ze reached out and covered his wildly beating heart, feeling that if he stayed in there any longer, he would soon die.

But a sense of curiosity also arose in his heart.

Honestly, he was really curious about what Chen Shuo was going to say next.

Although his elders had kept it from him all these years, he still managed to glean some information about Tang Wan's past.

That's why Lu Ze realized how hard-won their current peaceful life was.

Countless people are bearing heavy burdens for the sake of this peaceful world.

Fu Wenzhi gave Chen Shuo plenty of time to process his emotions.

They all knew that they wouldn't deceive their own people.

Chen Shuo lowered his head, wiped his eyes hard with the back of his hand, and said, "Fine, I'll tell you!"

"I'll tell you everything!"

...

Gou Xi is easy to coax.

Tang Wan and Gou Xi waited at the door for a while, and Gou Xi stopped crying.

But she didn't say she wanted to go back to the ward.

Tang Wan felt a little sad watching Gou Xi keep saying that she wanted to explore this place and that place.

What she and Fu Wenzhi were doing could not be done in a high-profile manner, and too many people could not be involved.

This is for protection and for secrecy.

But seeing how understanding Gou Xi was, Tang Wan still felt a little guilty.

However, Gou Xi suddenly spoke up: "I did it voluntarily."

Tang Wan slowly raised her head and looked at Gou Xi looking at her intently.

Those bright eyes held complete trust in Tang Wan.

"I know that Tangtang and Zhizhi are doing some very dangerous things."

"I know you're not telling me because it's for my own good."

"Tangtang, I understand."

"I am willing to serve you."

Tang Wan stood still, the wind blowing through the sanatorium garden carrying the fragrance of some flowers that had not yet completely withered.

They spread across Tang Wan and Gou Xi, like an invisible line drawing them together.

Gou Xi was as bright as ever, like a radiant sunflower, only her voice was trembling.

"I know my abilities are limited, but Tangtang, you must be careful."

"I don't want to lose you."

You are my most important friend, I can't lose you.

Tang Wan reached out and hugged the trembling Gou Xi tightly, giving a firm and solemn answer in Gou Xi's ear.

I promise you.
