She dared not think, if she hadn’t returned tonight from staying at a hotel in City B, then he...
After Tang Qingli arrived, he carried Yu Bei and immediately left for the hospital with Gu Lili following closely behind.
She didn’t drive there but rode in Tang Qingli’s car.
Upon reaching the hospital, Long Yubei’s face was completely covered, Tang Qingli wore a mask, and Gu Lili stayed in the car to avoid direct exposure, fearing the media might catch wind.
The suicide of the president of Long Group would cause an uproar if it hit the news.
Once it came out, wouldn’t Long Group’s stocks plummet like a straight line?
Since a hefty bribe was given to the doctor, the doctor did not scrutinize Long Yubei’s face, along with Tang Qingli accompanying the whole resuscitation process, they didn’t know Tang Qingli or Long Yubei’s identities, so his identity remained concealed.
The doctor simply thought it was some male celebrity who attempted suicide.
How could he possibly know it was the head of an entire group that had done this?
Initially, he was supposed to stay in the hospital, but Tang Qingli got the prescription for IV drips but didn’t hang it at the hospital, instead, he took Long Yubei away from there.
Once in the car, he broke into a sweat from nervousness.
"What did the doctor say?"
"The resuscitation was timely, a bit later and it would have been a serious issue."
Long Yubei’s head rested on Gu Lili’s lap, her heart felt very heavy.
"Then let’s go back."
"Miss Gu, let my young master recuperate at your place for a while," Tang Qingli knew all too well what his young master was thinking, "I’m worried that when he wakes up, he might be distressed again, you... please counsel him."
Gu Lili fell silent for a moment, then agreed.
Back at home, Long Yubei lay on Gu Lili’s bed, Tang Qingli brought over the medication prescribed from the hospital, and expertly administered an IV drip for Long Yubei.
After the IV was set up, Tang Qingli said, "I’ll leave first. I’ll have someone drive the young master’s car back later, and I’ll come again tomorrow. Thank you for your troubles."
"Alright, drive safely."
Gu Lili turned on the heating, washed her face, and saw her reflection in the mirror, getting lost in thought for a moment.
Long Yubei’s behavior was nothing but an impulsive act under the influence of alcohol.
When sober, he probably wouldn’t do such a thing.
People become especially fragile when drunk.
After wiping her face, she carried a glass of water out.
She opened his car door, the car keys were on top, Gu Lili started the ignition, and switched on the interior light.
She wiped the bloodstains in his car clean.
Disposing the water from the basin, she took his phone and wallet, turned off the light in the car, closed the door, and reentered the yard.
Soon, someone from Qin Garden came and drove the car away.
When Gu Lili returned to the bedroom, the room was already warm.
She sat on the sofa, poured herself a cup of hot tea, and accidentally touched his phone’s touchscreen.
The light suddenly turned on, and the screensaver was her photo.
Gu Lili held the teacup in one hand and his phone in her other hand.
In the call history, it showed he had dialed her number over a hundred times.
Her phone was set to allow only whitelisted numbers; any external number couldn’t get through.
Gu Lili pondered whether he came to her front door, couldn’t reach her over the phone, couldn’t get the door open, plus had been drinking, and impulsively... Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel[f]ire.net
She placed his phone and wallet on the bedside.
Gu Lili, wrapped in a blanket, sat on the sofa watching his IV drip.
After finishing her tea, she thought it over and changed the setting of her phone’s whitelist, allowing calls from anyone to come through.
Under the soft yellow light, he lay there with his eyes closed, while she sat watching over his IV.
