“I don’t want you to die, so tell me who you are, and I’ll handle the rest,” Su Ming shouted, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Li Lan hugged him with a pained expression, tears streaming down her face. “Can’t you pretend you don’t know?”

Su Ming shook his head. He owed Gu Chen too much to betray him, but he also didn’t want his girlfriend in danger.

“Xiao Lan, listen to me. If you have any troubles, tell me,” Su Ming said softly, holding her hand. “I’ve been with President Gu for many years. He will help us. And Miss Song—she’s incredibly capable. If you tell me what’s bothering you, I’ll find a way to ask for their help.”

Li Lan sighed inwardly. Yes, she knew Song Fan’s capabilities, but she also knew Song Fan would never help her.

Thinking of the past, Li Lan felt a sense of self-mockery. If Song Fan remembered everything, she would probably wish Li Lan were dead.

But now, her top priority was to calm Su Ming. If he told Gu Chen about this, she would be done for.

After a couple of minutes, Li Lan seemed to have made a decision. She looked serious and said, “Su Ming, I know you’re trying to help me, but this isn’t something that can be explained easily.”

Su Ming nodded eagerly. His biggest fear was that Li Lan would refuse to see reason. If she was willing to reveal the truth, he would do everything in his power to protect her.

“I… I need to wash my face. Wait here, and I’ll tell you everything when I get back,” Li Lan said seriously, her eyes filled with tenderness.

“Okay,” Su Ming replied with a single word, trusting the woman in front of him.

However, Li Lan didn’t go to the bathroom but instead went directly to the nurse’s station. When no one was looking, she added something to Su Ming’s medication. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

When she returned to the room, a nurse had already administered the injection, and Su Ming lay on the bed, eyes tightly shut, as if in a deep sleep.

Li Lan gently caressed his face, a self-mocking smile on her lips. She had never thought she would one day be ensnared by emotions.

To prevent Su Ming from contacting Gu Chen, she had poisoned him lightly—not fatally, but enough to keep him unconscious for ten days or more. In the past, anyone who knew her identity would be dealt with, but she couldn’t bring herself to harm Su Ming.

“Consider this a repayment for all the care you’ve shown me,” Li Lan whispered as she leaned down to kiss Su Ming’s lips softly. Then she turned and left the room.

By the time Song Fan and Gu Chen received the hospital’s notification, Su Ming was bleeding internally, his life hanging by a thread.

When they rushed to the hospital, Su Ming was vomiting blood as he was being treated.

Song Fan hurried into the room, quickly assessing Su Ming’s condition.

“He’s been poisoned!” Song Fan swiftly diagnosed. She recognized this poison from her time with mercenaries; it was commonly used.

Fortunately, Su Ming wasn’t deeply poisoned. The person who administered it hadn’t intended to kill him, but due to Su Ming’s recent surgery, the poison had caused internal bleeding.

Song Fan quickly placed an antidote in his mouth, but it would only temporarily alleviate the symptoms, not save his life.

A nurse helping to clean the blood from Su Ming’s body complained, “Where did his girlfriend go? She was just here, and now something this serious happens, and she’s gone.”

“Li Lan was here?” Song Fan suddenly remembered where she had smelled that scent before—it was on Li Lan.

All the clues connected in her mind. Li Lan’s missing diamond earrings, her familiar appearance, the confrontation in the lab, and now Su Ming’s poisoning.

“Yes, Miss Li rushed over as soon as she was notified. She seemed really anxious. I don’t know where she went now,” the nurse replied.

Song Fan felt a tightness in her chest. She knew how much Su Ming cared for his girlfriend, and Li Lan likely had some feelings for Su Ming too.

No wonder the intruder had avoided Su Ming’s injured areas during the attack, and now the poison dosage was minimal. It all made sense.

“Gu Chen, contact Lan Yue. Tell her to use any means necessary to find Li Lan and inform her of Su Ming’s condition,” Song Fan instructed as she helped the medical staff lift Su Ming onto a gurney. “I’m going to perform surgery on Su Ming now.”
