Miss An looked at her intently, "They can forget about it."
"So, we have to find Gong Chengjue first. He hasn't done anything he promised yet. I've shielded his precious woman from a lot of trouble these past two months."

City A
Time passed both quickly and slowly. She was racing against the clock and wished time could slow down so that Gong Chengjue could have more time to be safe.
But another day has passed in the blink of an eye.
There was no news. The people sent out had arrived in Country L, but no news had come back.
It's not easy to find someone even in a peaceful country, let alone in a less peaceful one.
Su Ziqing sat in the center of the conference room, holding a pen, but her mind kept wandering.
"Miss Su?" The vice president, having finished his work report, gently called out to Su Ziqing.
Su Ziqing was clearly not in good condition, but as the person in charge of the Su Group, she had no choice but to devote herself to her work.
Su Ziqing snapped out of her reverie and looked at the vice president. "The suggestion is good, and the plan is feasible." She had already glanced at the documents before the meeting.
The vice president's statement was merely something said in a meeting. She looked at the vice president and said, "Send someone to conduct market research first. We'll hold another meeting after the data comes back. You arrange this."
“Ms. Su, with the global economy in a state of contraction, when doing business, labor costs should be kept within a manageable range,” another vice president offered his opinion.
The reason is that the vice president just suggested increasing the production line, because Su's has indeed increased its cooperative orders a lot in the past two months.
However, the vice president's suggestion to open a branch factory is not a good idea given the current economic situation.
Su Ziqing forcibly pulled herself back from worrying about Gong Chengjue and looked at the vice president who had raised objections to her.
These people were all hired by her at high salaries, and their abilities had been tested and approved by her.
She said, "I know what you mean, but the Su family has no plans to expand into Southeast Asia at the moment."
"It's not about development, it's just about setting up factories there to reduce manufacturing costs. You see, many companies are doing this now..."
Su Ziqing shook her head. "You've seen many companies do this, so you should also see the other side: poor work efficiency due to laziness has led to the withdrawal of some people from the factories set up there."
The vice president was speechless. He hadn't expected Su Ziqing to know this.
Su Ziqing gestured to move on to the next topic.
The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and Su Ziqing was exhausted. She really wanted a strong cup of coffee.
But in the end, all she could ask for was a glass of milk.
The people were quite patient; not a single one dared to gossip about the injury on her forehead.
how come?
Su Ziqing returned to her office, her eyes constantly glancing at her phone, hoping for a message.
And what about the promised synchronized messages with Gong Changfan? What a load of rubbish! They didn't give her anything.
Su Ziqing had truly misunderstood Gong Changfan. There really was no news from the Gong family, if you could say that no news could be considered news.

L country border
As darkness fell, Gong Chengjue's high fever persisted, and with no food or water, his body was already showing initial signs of dehydration. He felt that he was probably going to die here.
He struggled to climb a tree, using its lush foliage as cover, and was now so exhausted that he wanted to close his eyes immediately.
But he knew that if he closed his eyes now, he probably wouldn't have the chance to open them again.
I'm so tired.
If he can't go back, will she worry?
Still the same as before, with a cold tone and indifferent attitude?
Will she and Feng Xixuan really get married?
But if he really does die here, she won't know anything, which is probably a good thing for her. In the future, she won't think of him again.
Just consider him one of the scumbags I've encountered in my life.
Well, he chose to be a scumbag himself. He said he needed a woman of equal social standing for a political marriage, and he looked down on her...
He raised his hand, and the wristwatch on his wrist was given to him by Zhou Ruoling, who also told him that Su Ziqing had paid for it.
Is this... a gift given in disguise after the breakup? Never mind, he'll just take it as a gift from her.
If I had met Su Ziqing two years later, would it have been the right time to meet the right person?
Then he shook his head. No, if it's two years later, then he'll have missed what she went through in the Su family, and he doesn't know how she'll be tormented by them.
Perhaps it would have failed at the mental hospital stage.
It's better to have met her now...
Ah, I miss her so much.
He longs for her smiling face, for her to snuggle in his arms, for her to call his name.
"Big brother?" Gong Chengkun looked up from under the tree and saw the person in the tree, but he still asked uncertainly.
Gong Chengjue felt he must have gone mad from the fever, otherwise how could he seem to hear Gong Chengkun's voice?
He never considered Gong Chengkun, his half-brother, as a rival, treating him merely as a child.
It's normal for him to miss Su Ziqing and the baby, but why would he think of Gong Chengkun?
"Big brother, it really is you." Gong Chengkun's voice was filled with surprise.
Having been injured and 'accidentally' swept into the territory of L country by the water, Gong Chengkun was in a sorry state.
Leaving aside his injuries, outwardly he looks no better than a beggar.
However, no matter what, the mini syringe bag he was carrying was tightly strapped to his body.
Luo Jinhan said that Gong Chengjue was seriously injured, so medicine was definitely needed.
Gong Chengjue opened his tired eyes and found that Gong Chengkun had already climbed the tree.
Yes, he is such a weakling now. If those people find him, he will have no way to survive and will be completely powerless to resist.
"Chengkun?" Gong Chengkun stared at the person in front of him, his mind reeling. "What are you doing here?"
"Looking for you." Gong Chengkun had never seen Gong Chengjue like this before.
When he was a child, Gong Chengjue gave him the impression that he didn't like to laugh or play with other people, but he was the most favored by his grandfather!
As he grew older, he was often reminded, whether intentionally or unintentionally, that without Gong Chengjue, he was the rightful eldest grandson, and thus there was an unusual distance between him and his peers in the Gong family.
Therefore, he always competed with Gong Chengjue, but every time... he lost miserably.
Gong Chengkun took out medicine from the medicine bag tied to his waist, disinfected and injected Gong Chengjue, and said seriously, "Brother, you need to be taken to the hospital immediately."
Gong Chengjue chuckled softly, "How did you get here?"
"It was washed in by the water." Gong Chengkun didn't go into details, but looked at Gong Chengjue and saw that his eyes were starting to glaze over. He quickly encouraged him, "You can't sleep, you can't let anything happen to you."
“If I die, you will be the eldest grandson.” Gong Chengjue chuckled.
