Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 279 Gu Yanci, are you secretly angry?

"Mr. Gu, the ambulance is downstairs right away!"

Zhou Qi pushed through the crowd and rushed over, carrying Jiang Huaixu on his back towards the elevator: "Everyone, make way! If someone dies, be careful that those who block the way will be held responsible!"

How can everyone who witnesses share responsibility?!

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly made way.

After Wen Yan and her group left, the remaining people looked at each other and whispered among themselves:

"What's going on? Why are they going to go this far?"

"No way, didn't you see Gu Yanci personally help her out? How could he tolerate someone else harming Wen Yan?"

"Who is that man? Who would dare to steal a woman from Gu Yanci?"

"See that watch on that man's wrist? It's a limited edition, priceless! That man is no ordinary person!"

……

Wen Yan sat outside the emergency room, which was lit by a red light, her face solemn and her lips pale from excessive tension.

It wasn't until a glass of warm water appeared in front of her that Wen Yan snapped out of her daze. Following the hand holding the glass, her gaze fell on the man's cold, stern face.

Recalling the scene Gu Yanci saw when he first entered the room, Wen Yan immediately explained, "Nothing happened between me and my senior!"

"I know."

Gu Yanci spoke calmly as he brought the warm water to Wen Yan's lips.

Wen Yan took a sip, and her parched throat was finally moistened, as if she had been given a new lease on life.

"I didn't see anyone after I entered. Later, my senior came and said that someone told him I was looking for him..." Wen Yan glanced at Gu Yanci guiltily as she said this.

This man is extremely possessive. Although it wasn't her subjective intention, Jiang Huaixu's initiative couldn't be clearer.

Wen Yan was prepared to coax him, but to her surprise, Gu Yanci wasn't angry. Instead, he said, "And then?"

"Then he felt unwell, took a pill, drank some water from the hotel, and his condition suddenly deteriorated rapidly. I wanted to call an ambulance, but there was no signal in the room, and I couldn't open the door... Thank goodness you came!"

"Water?" Gu Yanci was very perceptive, and his gaze immediately fell on Wen Yan's hand.

She was clutching this bottle of water as soon as she left the hotel.

Wen Yan handed it to him: "This is the bottle."

Gu Yanci made a phone call, and soon a hospital staff member came and took the water for testing.

Wen Yan looked at him cautiously, observing his reaction: "Honey, are you... secretly angry?"

Husband?

Wen Yan rarely called him that.

Gu Yanci raised an eyebrow and looked at her leisurely, "Wen Zhizhi, your guilty conscience is too obvious."

"I have nothing to hide!" Wen Yan was in a situation where she couldn't clear her name no matter what she did. She held the man's hand. "I just didn't want you to misunderstand, and I didn't want you to be angry!"

"Not angry."

Gu Yanci was unusually calm, so calm that Wen Yan felt a little scared, like the calm before a storm, as if something was brewing.

Seeing Wen Yan's questioning look, as if to say, "When did you become so magnanimous?", Gu Yanci almost laughed out of exasperation.

He said, "I got a room key from the front desk, but it wouldn't open the door."

That ultra-luxury five-star hotel was the private property of the Gu family, so Gu Yanci naturally had a way to get a spare room key. Because he couldn't open the door with the card and couldn't get through to Wen Yan by phone, he simply kicked the door down.

Given the situation, anyone who isn't an idiot can guess that something's fishy going on!

"Someone's here. Who is it?" Gu Yanci asked, asking about the crucial information that Wen Yan had deliberately kept vague.

Wen Yan hesitated for a brief second before answering, "...Your mother."

It was Ji Chang who sent her to the hotel, and it was also Ji Chang who sent Jiang Huaixu to the hotel; everything was absurd yet reasonable.

The door to the emergency room opened.

A doctor came out and said to Wen Yan with a reproachful look, "The patient probably took some kind of aphrodisiac, which caused the heart arrhythmia. The patient has had a heart transplant, how could he take such a thing?"

"To... to add to the fun?" Wen Yan asked incredulously.

Ji Chang hated her so much that she went so far as to lock her up with another man and drug her in order to make her leave Gu Yanci?

“She is my wife,” Gu Yanci said to the doctor, his tone cold and intimidating.

The doctor was taken aback, then suddenly realized that he had misunderstood the relationship between Wen Yan and the person in the emergency room, and apologized repeatedly.

"How are the people inside?" Gu Yanci was too lazy to listen to the apology.

"He's been temporarily saved, but he's still in critical condition. He'll be transferred to the ICU after he leaves the hospital. Thankfully, you reacted quickly, and thankfully, the patient had just taken heart medication."

They've been saved.

Wen Yan breathed a huge sigh of relief.

The sudden relaxation of her overly tense nerves caused her body to go limp, and Gu Yanci quickly caught her.

"I've never seen you so worried about me," Gu Yanci said sarcastically.

Wen Yan glared at him: "Is this a good thing?"

That look in her eyes showed she was truly angry.

She simply couldn't connect this danger with Gu Yanci.

The test results for the mineral water came back quickly: sildenafil.

It is indeed an ingredient in aphrodisiacs.

A cold glint flashed in Gu Yanci's eyes.

Wen Yan couldn't help but clench her fists. Was Ji Chang trying to kill Jiang Huaixu just to scheme against her?

Jiang Huaixu's bodyguards rushed to the hospital after receiving the news and, after learning about the situation, immediately notified Jiang's family.

"Things have blown up," Wen Yan said.

“We’re all adults. If you cause trouble, you have to take responsibility.” Gu Yanci showed no leniency towards Ji Chang.

His gaze turned cold as he said this.

This matter truly angered him.

Wen Yan suddenly remembered: "In that room, my cell phone had no signal, so why were you able to make calls?"

“It has an independent satellite system,” Gu Yanci said.

"..."

-

Jiang Huaixu woke up the next day.

Gu Yanci didn't tell Wen Yan, but went into the ward first.

Jiang Huaixu saw Gu Yanci enter the room before he fainted, and he was not surprised by his appearance.

"Young Master Gu wants to settle accounts with me?" Jiang Huaixu's face was still deathly pale, and his body was extremely weak.

Gu Yanci didn't speak, but calmly glanced at Jiang Huaixu's chest.

Jiang Huaixu keenly caught Gu Yanci's gaze.

The next moment, he understood why Gu Yanci was able to visit him calmly when he was hospitalized last time, instead of coming to cause trouble like a cock that had drunk a vat of vinegar.

"You know that too?" Jiang Huaixu asked abruptly, but Gu Yanci understood.

“Yes.” Gu Yanci’s gaze moved from Jiang Huaixu’s face to his heart. “Perhaps you should figure out whether it is you who likes Wen Yan, or him who likes Wen Yan.”
