Chapter 979: One Person’s Choice

“Even if I am a murderer, I am one with moral values. Usurping the throne? Forget it.”
Shen Qianshu did not quite understand her.
Although she was very serious when she said it, it felt as if she was talking nonsense.
It was really contradictory.
Outside, Monica was holding onto a sniper rifle, making two sketchy young girls who had come to assassinate Shen Qianshu retreat.
The two young girls retreated miserably and glared hatefully at Monica’s direction.
Far away, Monica pointed her middle finger at them, and she looked really arrogant.
The two girls were furious.
Monica hid herself. As the young girls were afraid that something might go wrong, they did not insist. So, they left Shen Qianshu’s room.
“Fine, you are temporarily safe for tonight.”
“Monica and you are going to protect me?”
“Yeah, aren’t you touched?”
“Very,” Shen Qianshu said sincerely. “Are you and Monica both so free?”
“Not free. Usually, if we had time and there was nothing important going on, we would be flirting and being on a date.”
Shen Qianshu raised her hand. “Stop, don’t flirt. Hearing two young girls flirting with one another makes me feel a little weird. Perhaps, I could also have a chance to love a beautiful girl as my lover.”
Maxi smiled.
Shen Qianshu asked, “Why are you protecting me? Black Rose ordered you to?”
“Our mission is to ensure that you pass the test alive.”
“Isn’t only one person going to be alive?”
“Yes.”
“What about you both?”
“You can choose to kill us or get killed by us.”
She was unwilling to pick either of the choices.
Shen Qianshu had too many depressing thoughts, and her high fever would not subside. Her abdominal injuries were recovering very slowly.
Maxi shook her head. “Your persistence has no value at all.”
“Give me the jab.” She was really having a high fever, and it was too serious. She was afraid of becoming a fool.
Maxi said, “I told you long before not to struggle.”
She gave Shen Qianshu the jab, and the effects of it shown immediately. Within a few hours, Shen Qianshu’s fever had gone away. She was really amazed. That was indeed really medicine for her fever to go away.
Maxi said, “With that expression in your eyes, I would give you a jab again in the future.”
City A.
The Gu Manor.
Second Old Master Gu did not move the water lilies again. Neither Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, or Gu Xie spoke about the water lilies. They did not tell Second Old Master Gu about the truth either. Under Fourth Brother’s plan, the man who looked after the water lilies was captured, and after severe torture, he handed out the drugs.
Gu Xie sent them to the Central Hospital for an examination immediately.
At the same time, Fourth Brother convinced Second Old Master Gu to send Fang Hongxiu to the hospital for a full body checkup. Ever since Fang Hongxiu returned home, she seldom had any body checkups, and she had been relying on the life support machines to stay alive. From the early years when Second Old Master Gu still longed for her to wake up to now, when his heart had stopped caring as much, that was a really long time. He finally accepted the fact that she was never going to wake up again in this life.
“Why does she have to do a body examination?”
Fourth Brother said, “We investigated Black Rose and found out that she had drugged Mom. That was what caused Mom to be in such a deep sleep all this time. Let her have another body examination. See if she can still be saved. Pa, even if this is meaningless, we won’t be losing out on anything, would we?”
Second Old Master Gu thought for a moment and finally nodded. Although he felt that something was amiss, he did not look into it.
Gu Yuanli cooperated fully with Xie Jinghuan the entire time to track down Black Rose’s whereabouts.
Ye Ling was having therapy.
Everything went orderly as planned, and there was no chaos.
There was poison in Fang Hongxiu’s body, and they could not detect anything about it previously. Even under close examination under the machines, the poison was hidden and almost traceless. It was only until they got the drugs from the hands of Black Rose’s man did they finally find a breakthrough.
