Gu Chen’s mouth twitched involuntarily. As expected, Song Fan just wanted to use him.
However, seeing her so excited, Gu Chen became interested. “Tell me, what’s your plan?”
Song Fan didn’t speak. Instead, she pulled out a small pill from her pocket and looked at Gu Chen with a smile.
“This… this isn’t some kind of fatal pill, is it?” Gu Chen doubted that this small pill was anything good.
“Something like that.” Song Fan poured Gu Chen a glass of water. “This will make you appear temporarily comatose due to poisoning. It should take effect in about half an hour. You can use this time to explain work matters to your board members. Su Ming is probably reaching his limit.”
Seeing her smiling, Gu Chen couldn’t bring himself to smile. Was she implying that he should settle his affairs?
When Su Ming returned with breakfast and a pile of documents, a few company executives had just left Gu Chen’s room. These were Gu Chen’s trusted subordinates. Seeing him fine, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
“President Gu, are you feeling better? Please have something to eat.” Su Ming quickly set everything down. “These documents need your signature, and I’ve postponed a few meetings to the day after tomorrow. Would a video conference then be okay?”
Before Su Ming could finish speaking, Gu Chen had already started signing the documents. “No need to wait until the day after tomorrow. Schedule a board meeting video conference in ten minutes.”
Su Ming looked at him in shock, then at Song Fan. “Is that appropriate? You’ve just recovered. Isn’t this too strenuous?”
Gu Chen glanced at the small pill on the bedside table. “If we don’t hold the meeting now, they won’t see me the day after tomorrow either.”
Su Ming didn’t understand but still followed his orders.
An hour later, after the meeting, Gu Chen fell into a deep sleep again.
“Miss Song, what is going on?” Su Ming was so startled he didn’t know what to say. “Did President Gu relapse? Is there more antidote?”
Song Fan checked Gu Chen’s pulse, confirmed he was sleeping peacefully, and stood up. “Don’t tell the company about this. But make sure those people downstairs know.”
She glanced outside at several men in suits. She recognized two of them as Peter and Brown’s bodyguards. They were clearly here to monitor Gu Chen.
Su Ming wanted to ask more but, seeing Song Fan’s serious expression, he nodded and went downstairs to find a way to let the bodyguards know about Gu Chen’s condition.
That evening, Song Fan arranged to meet Peter at a clubhouse.
“Wham!” She threw the empty snow lotus box onto the floor. “Mr. Brown, I’m very disappointed. You gave me a fake snow lotus. Are you trying to kill Gu Chen?”
Her voice trembled with anger, eyes red with bloodshot veins. Her actions conveyed extreme fury.
Peter had already heard about Gu Chen’s relapse from his subordinates. Seeing Song Fan so angry now, he suspected Charlie might have sabotaged him.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you really working with that idiot Gu Hai? Can’t you see he’s just a fool?” Song Fan continued to question, staring at Peter as if trying to see through him.
“Miss Song, you misunderstand. I want Gu Chen to live more than anyone.” Peter spoke earnestly.
Yes, if Gu Chen died, he wouldn’t survive either. Naturally, he didn’t want Gu Chen to die.
But Song Fan seemed even more agitated. “You and he aren’t related. Why would you want him alive? You’re all in cahoots! Charlie was introduced by Gu Hai. It seems you and your brother are working together, right?”
Sure enough, Peter’s face darkened. So it was Charlie!
He didn’t want to hand over the snow lotus, so he tampered with it. But seeing Song Fan’s furious expression, Peter didn’t dare to trust her easily. He remembered Jason saying this woman wasn’t easy to deal with.
After thinking for a while, he said, “I have a good doctor. Let him examine Mr. Gu. Maybe there’s another way.”
Song Fan had anticipated this and didn’t stop him. The group returned to the hospital.
The doctor examined Gu Chen and confirmed he was in a deep coma due to severe poisoning. Peter finally panicked.
“Miss Song, I’ll give you an explanation for this. Give me two days.” Without waiting for Song Fan’s response, Peter hurriedly left the room.
