Immediately afterwards, Gong Ru clapped her hands, and four or five bodyguards came in and pulled Bai Zhi out of the cave.
Bai Zhi took the divorce agreement and the contract from Gong Ru's hand and quickly signed them. The moment she put down her pen, she knew that she was saying goodbye to Lele and Zihan forever. A heavy mountain weighed on her heart again, and this time it hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.
Gong Ru held the two spoils of war in her hands with pride, as if they were priceless treasures. Ou Zihan, this man, finally had a day that belonged to her, and she felt that the whole world had become brighter.
Bai Zhi was in pain all over her body. Her hair was disheveled and her face was pale. She dragged her broken arm, tears of sorrow welling up in her eyes. She turned to leave, but Gong Ru called her back.
She turned around and looked at Gong Ru's victorious smile, feeling as if a thousand swords had pierced her heart.
"Bai Zhi, this is a gentleman's agreement between us. If you go back on your word and secretly run back to find Ou Zihan, don't blame me for being impolite. Do you see the trap I dug for you today? If you don't keep your word, I'll dig a hundred more traps like this for you and make you crushed to pieces!"
Gong Ru's dark eyes seemed to be shooting cold arrows, and her stern voice reached Bai Zhi's ears.
"Don't worry, I'm not a despicable person like you!" Bai Zhi said through gritted teeth, her head buzzing with anger, as if it were about to explode! She turned around the trap and walked towards the door.
This Gong Ru is the real devil!
Are you going to make her suffer for the rest of her life? She doesn't know how she'll face the days to come.
She's homeless again!
The feeling of gaining something and then losing it again is incredibly painful; it must be worse than death. It would be better to just kill her and get it over with. [△Net www.AiQuxs.]
As soon as she entered the lobby, she saw Professor Chen, who was sweating profusely and looked as if he had still not found anything.
Professor Chen heard footsteps, looked up, and saw Bai Zhi. He was stunned. How could Bai Zhi have gotten into such a state in such a short time? Her clothes were dirty, she was covered in dust, her hair was disheveled, and she was holding her injured arm with one hand, her face pale with pain, and she was gritting her teeth.
"Xiaozhi, what happened? What happened to your arm? How did you get it like this? Let me see." Professor Chen's worried voice gently lifted her injured arm.
With a hiss, upon the touch, despite Professor Chen's gentle movements, Bai Zhi still let out a sound of extreme pain.
"I accidentally fell down the stairs just now, and I think I might have broken my arm," she said weakly, with beads of sweat on her forehead.
Her tone was not anxious at all, as if it was over and done with, but for some reason she gave people the feeling that she had seen through the world and had no will to live.
Professor Chen was slightly taken aback and frowned. Xiao Zhi's mood was a bit off. Just a moment ago she was full of enthusiasm and determined to find the prescription, but now she seemed dejected.
"Oh, although I couldn't find the study, I did see the Gong family's infirmary. I'll take you in to get your bones set and bandaged. How can we delay a broken arm? If it's not set in time, it could leave lasting damage."
As Professor Chen spoke, he pulled her toward the infirmary.
The infirmary was quite well-equipped. Professor Chen set her bones, bandaged her, and was kind, gentle, and patient.

Feeling her master's warmth and fatherly love, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but well up with tears. She was about to leave these warm people around her, and she was so reluctant to part with them.
As she thought about it, she felt like she was suffocating.
"Xiao Zhi, I still haven't found the study. Look how old and slow I am. Have you found it yet?" Professor Chen asked as he bandaged her up.
"Found it, the antidote has been found, Zihan is saved." Bai Zhi lowered her eyes, her voice faint, without any joy. She was like a puppet, looking lost and dejected.
Shouldn't we be overjoyed to have found the antidote? What's wrong with Xiaozhi? Why does she look so sad?
Was it a real find or a fake one? Professor Chen was completely baffled.
"How did you find it? Which book did you find it in? What kind of medicinal herbs are they? Tell your master, and let your master check if the prescription you found is correct." Professor Chen has a rigorous medical attitude; medicine is not used haphazardly. If there is any mistake, it could be fatal.
"Gong Ru has a Xiaoyao Pill. She said it can cure all poisons. She has already taken it to the Ou residence. I believe Zihan will recover soon."
Bai Zhi said listlessly that her only consolation was that she could save Zi Han; everything else was bleak.
"The Xiaoyao Pill passed down from the palace? Gong Ru also has such a miraculous antidote? With this medicine, Ou Zihan can be saved."
Professor Chen was astonished. He wondered what the medicine looked like and what its ingredients were. He really wanted to study it, but given the current situation, it wasn't the time for him to do research; saving lives was the priority.
So even the master knew about this medicine?
"Is this medicine really that miraculous?" Bai Zhi asked again, still worried. She wanted to make sure that Zi Han could really be saved.
"Yes, it's said that this medicine has the power to bring the dead back to life. It's said that only one pill has been passed down in the royal family. I never thought that Ou Zihan would survive in Gong Ru's hands," Professor Chen said.
"Oh, as long as Zihan can be saved, that's all that matters." She said softly, a bitter smile appearing on her lips.
"Xiaozhi, what's wrong? You seem a bit off. You looked preoccupied the moment I saw you. Did something happen?"
"No, I'm probably just too tired," she said with a faint smile, trying to put her master's mind at ease.
