The dinner is over.
Li Hetai stood at the edge of the hall, looking out at the deck through the window.
The light snow covered the deck with a thin layer of white snow, creating a misty atmosphere that made it look like a cruise ship was actually sailing on the sea.
"President Li, someone from the Ji family is coming."
Their visit was not only to openly discuss business cooperation with the Dale family, but also to privately discuss matters with the Ji family.
The Ji family members are all arrogant, like old nobles in the new age of exploration. They are clearly going to be eliminated by the times, but they still hold on to their last breath. Their destruction is only a matter of time.
However, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, so the assistant took out his phone and placed it in front of Li Hetai.
"They said they arrested one of our people and injected him with a new experimental drug, an aphrodisiac that Ji Family Pharmaceutical Company has not yet released."
Li Hetai narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly and also picked up his phone.
Sure enough, there was an unread message from someone surnamed Gu.
[Mr. Li, there's been a misunderstanding between me and Lesterdale's fiancée. I'm going over there now to clear things up.] Location was also included.
"Has the person been delivered?"
"It's right here...in the hotel."
Li Hetai put down his wine glass, declined the crowds that were crowding around him, and walked to the elevator to start going downstairs.
"Have the Ji family send a doctor over. If anything happens to the person, don't even think about discussing anything else."
"it is good."
The assistant sent a message to the Ji family, and less than half a minute later, Li Hetai's phone rang.
[General Manager Li.]
A faint laugh came from the other end of the phone: "[Long time no see?]"
“Young Master Ji, I think you need to explain why you tested the medicine on my people,” Li Hetai said calmly, his face expressionless.
[It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. It's just a matter of urging the delivery of medication; this can be resolved physically.]
"..."
The elevator arrived at that floor.
Li Hetai gripped his phone tightly as he opened the door to his hotel room.
Suddenly, a fair, reddish hand reached out from inside, grabbed his tie, and pulled him firmly inside!
"President Li!"
The assistant was terrified and quickly reached out to grab the boss's suit jacket.
The boss pushed him out with one hand, and his own phone was thrown out the door along with him.
[Haha, have a great time, Mr. Li! This is a new product with no safety issues.]
The phone made a sound.
The assistant was speechless. He grabbed his phone, got up from the floor, and tried to turn the doorknob, but he couldn't open it no matter how hard he tried.
It was obvious that the people inside had locked the door on purpose.
"Gu Xinglan!"
Li Hetai's tie was being pulled tightly as he walked around the house.
He reached out to stop him, but someone grabbed him along with the tie, scalding his cold hand with heat. Li Hetai frowned and shook off Gu Xinglan's hand, but Gu Xinglan refused to let go of the tie.
I was led to bed like a dog being walked.
His face grew increasingly dark. Li Hetai, having reached his limit, forcefully pried someone's hand off and threw it onto the bed, tie and all.
The moment I was thrown out, I heard a sharp, painful "hiss" in my ear.
The person on the bed was moaning and groaning, sweating profusely, muttering something in their sleep, and unconsciously squeezing their legs together.
Li Hetai, his face grim, was about to dial the guest room phone when the person on the bed suddenly shouted:
"Li Hetai!!!"
The sound was deafening.
The sound was so loud it almost echoed, and even the assistant outside the suite could hear it, which startled him so much that he kept ringing the doorbell.
The doorbell rang incessantly in the surroundings.
Then came endless silence.
After the person on the bed called out the name "Li Hetai," it was as if they were being remotely controlled. Not only did their body become as stiff as a stone, but their body temperature also dropped rapidly.
Li Hetai stared at it for a long time.
He seemed to be trying to glean some clue from that face.
But his face grew paler and paler, as white as plaster, devoid of any color.
In the end, Li Hetai reached out and gently placed his hand on Gu Xinglan's forehead to check her temperature.
Gu Xinglan could only move closer to a place that was still warm.
They kept crawling toward the warm body.
Where is he again...?
Yes, he's on the third floor of the villa in Changgu.
I witnessed with my own eyes how Lai Tai-ho willingly perished in the flames.
He also heard the system calling his name.
[Host, if you have listened to what this system and the administrator have said, please remember it. We will now return you to your original world.]
[The target has successfully completed their coming-of-age ceremony and taken over the family business. We regret to inform you that you cannot choose to return to the Main God Space with us.]
[Deployment in progress... Adaptation to the deployment still needs time... Deployment in progress...]
My mind is foggy.
Gu Xinglan vaguely remembered that he had been rescued.
The fire truck's ladder was raised high, and he was held in someone's arms, frantically breathing in the outside oxygen.
He didn't die that quickly.
He was rescued from the fire by Li Hetai.
However, due to prolonged and severe oxygen deprivation, his brain neurons were damaged, leaving him in a vegetative state and unable to move his body.
“Gu Xinglan…Gu Xinglan…”
It was Li Hetai's voice; it sounded very sad.
His sense of smell was still intact; he could smell a faint disinfectant scent, which indicated that he was in a hospital.
I can hear Li Hetai's voice every day.
He desperately wanted to open his eyes and see the other person, but he couldn't control his body.
They usually stay asleep for a long time.
Every time I wake up, I can hear Li Hetai's voice.
"The doctor said you're just sleeping, you'll stay with me, right..."
"The board of directors had another argument today. They said I've shown my true colors and that I shouldn't be wasting my time here."
"They don't understand anything."
“Gu Xinglan, I don’t want to turn the company into a one-man show, but they shouldn’t have brought you up as a topic of conversation.”
"Today we'll start with the fox. If you tame me, my life will be full of sunshine."
"Today, the Ministry of Justice submitted a new proposal for the acquisition. I think a 15% premium is reasonable. What do you think?"
“I’m working hard to earn money. I didn’t follow my father’s plan. He wanted to sell the villa to someone else, but I didn’t want to. This is where you and I live.”
"Gu Xinglan, can you hear me? Right?"
"Actually, I'm really looking forward to your gift on my birthday."
"I felt you were extraordinary the first time I saw you, and I really liked the fragrance you had on you."
“You really can’t be seen by others. Others will be attracted to you. I was very angry that day when I saw someone doing bad things to you.”
"Actually, I've done those things many times in my dreams, and I really want to do them with you."
"You don't know, do you? I personally dealt with someone who had dirty thoughts about you and did bad things to you."
"I don't mean anything by it; I just want you to be with me forever, that's enough."
"Today is my birthday again. You fell asleep at this time the year before last, and you'll stay with me like this from now on... um..."
He could hear and feel the outside world, but he couldn't move and was extremely sleepy.
Li Hetai cried, and he cried like a child.
Damn!
When will this body wake up?!
I'm so bored.
His greatest pleasure each day is listening to Li Hetai talk about all sorts of everyday things.
He clearly wanted to listen carefully to what the other person wanted to say to him on Li Hetai's second birthday.
If only Li Hetai could touch him.
