Chapter 707: Chapter 711: The Final Choice
Ye Xingbei quickly looked at Yue Yaer: “Yaer, is this okay?”
Yue Yaer nodded: “We can try it. Even if it doesn’t work, I can assure you it won’t have any negative impact on Qingqing.”
Gu Junzhu said: “I don’t think there’s a great chance of success, don’t hold your hopes too high, after all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.”
“Why?” Ye Xingbei tilted his head and looked at him: “I think what A Yu said makes a lot of sense. Since Ah Chen and Shasha can deceive Chi Zhen, they should be able to deceive Qingqing.”
Gu Junzhu shook his head, “The reason Xiao Cheng and Gu Sha could deceive Chi Zhen last night was because he was in a daze from sleep. The sudden appearance of the person he thought he’d killed frightened him, causing him to momentarily lose control and expose himself. But for Chi Qing, Shi Muqiao is a man she once loved deeply. If a girl deeply loves a man, even the most minute differences can be detected. It’s not about physical differences, it’s more of a feeling.”
Duan Yanbing said: “Although I don’t know what you’re discussing, I can responsibly tell you, being with Fifth Brother for almost three years, he has never been wrong with his analysis.”
Everyone fell silent.
They all knew what awaited Chi Qing if they didn’t use a fake Shi Muqiao.
Ye Xingbei felt terribly uncomfortable, looking at Gu Junzhu, making her last attempt: “But that day, you were the one who said, if we can’t find a living Shi Muqiao, we could use a dead or a fake Shi Muqiao.”
Gu Junzhu saw her distress, tousled her hair gently, and spoke softly: “Silly girl, everything I mentioned were last resorts. We all know the best option we currently have. Of course, as I said just now, the chances of success are slim, but not entirely impossible. We can let Xiao Cheng and Gu Sha give it a try. As Dr. Yue said, even if it fails, she can assure there would be no harm to Chi Qing. There’s no harm in giving it a shot.”
Everyone unanimously agreed to test out the fake Shi Muqiao method.
No one wanted Chi Qing to relive her most painful moment.
As long as there’s a tiny chance, they wanted to put in all the efforts they could.
After some discussion, they decided it would be better to try at night, dim the lights, and carefully arrange the scene, striving for Xiao Cheng and Gu Sha to fool convincingly, to increase the success rate.
After settling some details, Chi Yu and Chi Zhan took Chi Qing to visit her parents, and Yue Yaer returned to her lab.
Only Gu Junzhu, Ye Xingbei, and Duan Yanbing remained in the living room.
Gu Junzhu asked Duan Yanbing: “Yanbing, are you back on vacation or have you retired?”
“I’ve retired,” Duan Yanbing looked at him and chuckled, “After being undercover for over two years, I had many psychological problems. I chose to retire after the mission ended. I want a change in my life.”
As he spoke these words, he used all his effort to control himself from looking at Ye Xingbei, maintaining a normal expression and a smile on his face.
He chose to retire because he wanted to come back and marry Ye Xingbei.
After being undercover for over two years, he dreamt of marrying Ye Xingbei and establishing his own family.
After a struggle between life and death to complete his mission, he resolutely turned down the promotion offered by his superiors, choosing to retire instead.
