Chapter 444: Bad Fate

The sudden apology made Gu Chen feel a little overwhelmed. Especially when he saw the sincerity in Song Fan’s eyes, he couldn’t tell how he felt.
He grabbed Song Fan’s hand and held it tightly. “This has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to blame yourself.”
He laughed self-deprecatingly. “If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t even have to be in danger.”
Song Fan wanted to say something, but she didn’t know what to say.
She was a person who was plagued with troubles. Sometimes, she did not know if she was the one who had implicated Gu Chen or if he had implicated her.
Thinking of the first time they met, looking at Gu Chen who was on the verge of death, the corners of Song Fan’s mouth curled up slightly. Perhaps this was fate?
“What are you laughing at?” Gu Chen pinched her cheek.
“I’m laughing at the fate between the two of us. It’s fate that has something to do with life and death.” Song Fan pretended to sigh. “I really don’t know if it’s a bad fate.”
Then, she was hit on the head. Gu Chen flicked her forehead lightly. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Song Fan sniffed and felt much better. He then quickly said, “Don’t worry. With Jason’s ability, he will remember the important parts. It’s meaningless for Charlie to get the documents. So…”
Gu Chen continued, “So he will definitely come to you again and use it as a hostage, right?”
Song Fan nodded. This was also her trump card. Fortunately, she had left the antidote behind. This was also her trump card.
The two of them stopped talking. Snow red flowers were hard to find. The snow red flower in Charlie’s hand was a life-saving medicine, so Song Fan would never give up.
Things developed faster than Song Fan had expected. Charlie asked her to meet him the next day. This time, it was in Charlie’s hotel room. Song Fan knew that this was the key to the negotiation.
“It seems like you knew that I would look for you?” Charlie’s tone was cold, and he no longer had the calmness he had before.
He didn’t look too good, and there were dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that ever since he received the document, he had been following the results, but his team wasn’t doing well.
“That’s true. I can’t understand geniuses like you in science. There’s a fine line between a genius and a lunatic.” Charlie snorted. “So, Miss Song, you know where the complete formula is?”
It had been a long time since Charlie had addressed her as “Miss Song.” It seemed like he was really angry.
But what Song Fan said next made him even angrier. “How would I know about the confidential documents of the Brown Corporation? I didn’t even touch the documents. Don’t you think you’re joking?”
How could Charlie not know that she did not know what the documents in the safe were? It was just that he felt that Song Fan knew some secret.
Otherwise, why did she only make Jason unconscious and not directly give him a slow-acting poison? Wasn’t this finding a way out?
“Miss Song, I think we should be more sincere with each other. What exactly do you know?” Charlie’s face was cold as he asked anxiously.
Now that the news of the Brown Corporation launching a new drug had spread, if there was no formula, then Mr. Brown might send someone to take Jason away immediately. When Jason recovered, would he not immediately retaliate?
Song Fan knew what he was thinking. She sat on the sofa opposite him. “As far as I know…”
As soon as she said, Charlie subconsciously sat up straight, and his eyes lit up. He knew that Song Fan knew something!
Looking at the change in his expression, Song Fan snorted coldly, but she knew that she had to get the Snow Red Flower this time. “As far as I know, many scientists and drug makers will memorize important formulas on their own to save their lives. They will never record them in any documents.
“Are you saying that if he doesn’t wake up, no one will be able to get the formula? How was this possible? Doesn’t he want to do many experiments?” Charlie was a little nervous. He did not want Jason to wake up so soon. Jason had too many confidants. When Charlie was not in control of the overall situation, he did not want to be disturbed by him at all.
Song Fan raised her eyebrows. “Unless you have a team full of experts to analyze his initial experimental records and all the data reports. But I think Jason’s experiments are confidential. It will take at least a few years for him to make a breakthrough. Even if your team were to reanalyze it, it would take at least one or two years. It might not even be successful.”
In other words, there was no way to get the formula at all. The only way was to wake Jason up.
Charlie stood up and paced around the room anxiously.
“Alright,” he said. “Here’s the Snow Red Flower. You have to wake Jason up.”
