Chapter 433 You Die, She Lives; She Lives, You Die

gave him a thumbs up, "Just for that sentence about doing justice, I've found a friend in you."Ji Qi'an smirked, "You too.""Go."Two people pushed open the hospital door, Guan Xinyue was leaning on th..."Palace Shulan, what do you really want to do" Looking at Palace Shulan's appearance, Pei Zhen's body trembled involuntarily.

Gong Shulan ignored her and turned to walk forward.

And Pei Zhen was being held by two people, just about to cry out for help, when a sharp object pressed against her lower back. Pei Zhen stiffened and didn't dare make another sound.

……

Mo Cang brought Gu Gengting and Shen Ningran to a tranquil teahouse.

At this teahouse, it was very quiet. Gu Gengting scanned the surroundings but didn't see Gong Shulan. "When did she arrive"

Mo Cang said to Gu Gengting in a flat tone, "The head of the family didn't say."

"Didn't you say anything" Gu Gengting frowned. It wasn't that he was displeased with Gong Shulan's lateness, but rather he had a feeling that something was amiss.

But seeing Shen Ningran here, he dispelled some of his doubts.

Shen Ningran poured herself a cup of tea, only to see Gu Gengting across from her with a worried expression.

Although this place is supposed to be serene and peaceful, a place to relax the mind, sitting here with Gu Gengting, the atmosphere is tense, almost like we're about to negotiate something serious.

Shen Ningran picked up her teacup and sipped it, a feeling in her gut telling her that her mother wouldn't be coming tonight.

The reason for calling Gu Gengting over was to distract him.

Gu Gengting remained silent, and Shen Ningran did not speak either.

She wasn't the only one who felt awkward.

In the long silence, Gu Gengting frowned slightly and looked at Shen Ningran's face.

That slap, he used all his strength, so to this day her face still faintly shows signs of it.

Gu Gengting's eyes darkened. At that moment, after he finished speaking, a wave of regret surged up within him.

At that time, he was overly worried about Lin Yimi and couldn't control his emotions...

Gu Gengting stared at Shen Ningran's face and was lost in thought.

Although she is Mo Zhouyan's daughter, Gu Gengting actually felt that she bore no resemblance to him at all.

Perhaps it was because she resembled Gong Shulan too much.

Gu Gengting didn't ponder this issue deeply.

Shen Ningran held her teacup, watching the bustling traffic outside the window, without noticing Gu Gengting's gaze.

After ten minutes or so, Gu Gengting glanced at his watch, his brow furrowed involuntarily. He finally couldn't help but speak, "When is your mother coming"

Shen Ningran shrugged lightly, "I don't know."

"Don't know"

Shen Ningran only saw the disbelief on his face, "I was called over halfway through."

Shen Ningran knew that Gong Shulan wouldn't come, but she wouldn't tell Gu Gengting.

"Perhaps something delayed him on the way." Shen Ningran poured herself another cup of tea and added softly.

Gu Gengting's gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds, but he couldn't find any clues. However, he just felt something was off.

Gu Gengting took out his phone and called Gong Shulan, but no one answered. Gu Gengting then called Pei Zhen, but no one answered either.

Finally, Gu Gengting called Qi Ze, but Qi Ze's phone was switched off.

"She did this on purpose. She called me here, knowing full well she wasn't going to come, was she" Gu Gengting finally reacted, his face darkening, his voice firm. "What does she want"

Shen Ningran finally lifted her eyes and looked at Gu Gengting seriously, "Why don't you ask Pei Zhen and Lin Yimi what they did If they didn't do anything, would we trouble them for no reason"

"She saved your child! She's still in danger, what have you two gotten yourselves into" Gu Gengting's voice was heavy, his fists clenched, rapping against the wooden table.

"As I said from the beginning, one thing should be handled separately. What needs to be repaid will be repaid, and what needs to be settled will be settled."

Shen Ningran looked at Gu Gengting and chuckled softly: "Actually, you guessed it too. If the two of them really did nothing, my mother and I wouldn't have treated them like that after she saved my child."

It's just that you feel sorry for Lin Yiwei and Pei Zhen, think they are pitiful, so you think we haven't suffered much this time and hope this matter can be downplayed in the end.

Gu Gengting said nothing.

He acquiesced.

Actually, Gu Gengting isn't stupid. He can tell the difference, but Shen Ningran and Gong Shulan have always been in a position of power, while Pei Zhen and Lin Yiwu are always seen as weak. He subconsciously favors the weaker party, that's all.

Gu Gengting didn't speak again. He abruptly stood up and strode out.

Shen Ningran glanced at the time and did not stop.

It took them ten minutes to get from the hospital here, and they waited another ten minutes for Gu Gengting to go back. It was too late by then.

"Miss, Mr. Gu has left." Mo Cang walked over.

"Hmm." Shen Ningran nodded, placing the teacup in her hand on the table. "What does my mother want to do by taking Pei Zhen away"

Mo Cang didn't mean to hide anything from Shen Ningran. He said, "The head of the family said that Lin Yimi saved Young Master Yuchen's life. This is a kindness we must return."

Shen Ningran was puzzled, "What do you mean"

"Let them keep one between mother and daughter."

Lin Yiwu saved Yuchen, so Gong Shulan didn't touch her this time. If Lin Yiwu hadn't saved Yuchen, both she and her daughter would be dead by now.

Shen Ning lightly exhaled, silent for a few seconds, she retracted her gaze and said, "But that would soil her own hands."

Such things naturally cannot be done by one's own hands.

Mo Cang said faintly, his expression unchanged, his calm tone as if he was discussing something utterly commonplace.

Shen Ningran's eyes were deep, she looked out the window, and didn't speak again.

……

At this moment, Pei Zhen shivered and stood before Gong Shulan.

Gong Shulan sat on a sofa, with Gong Yu standing behind her.

Pei Zhen didn't know where she was, but she knew that since Gong Shulan had taken her away, she wouldn't let her go easily. She swallowed hard and tried her best to remain calm.

"Gong Shulan, why did you bring me here Yi Wei is still in the intensive care unit, I need to go back and take care of her. Just get to the point, what do you want"

Gong Shulan slowly raised her head and looked at Pei Zhen, "She doesn't need you to take care of her. I have sent people to look after her. We have enough time to settle this matter."

Hearing this, Pei Zhen looked at Gong Shulan in a panic, "You sent people to take care of Yimi What do you want to do to her Gong Shulan, she even saved your nephew, you..."

Gong Shulan didn't know why Pei Zhen had such a big reaction. She thought she would move Lin Yimi

Then she really misunderstood her.

"I just sent someone to take care of her," Gong Shulan smiled, looking at Pei Zhen's frightened face. "You don't believe me"

Of course Pei Zhen wouldn't believe it.

Palace Shu Lan lightly clapped her palms twice, and someone walked over to pick up the TV remote control and adjusted the screen.

The screen is a live feed from Lin Yiwu's hospital room. Lin Yiwu is still lying in bed, and a doctor stands beside her. The doctor has a syringe in his hand, containing an unclear, transparent liquid.

Pei Zhen's eyes widened. She immediately recognized that the doctor wasn't Lin Yiwei's attending physician, but a stranger she had never seen before. She had no idea what was in his syringe.

Pei Zhen's face was filled with terror to the extreme. She suddenly rushed forward and knelt before Gong Shulan, clutching Gong Shulan's arm tightly. Her eyes were bloodshot, staring at Gong Shulan with all her might, gritting her teeth and asking, "What do you want to do Tell me, tell me!"

Palace Shu Lan's face was as usual calm, she gently pushed away Pei Zhen's hand.

"Don't worry, I remember she saved Yuchen. I won't forget that. But do you remember what I said to you at the operating room door"

Pei Zhen's eyes widened.

"If Lin Yiwu were to die, I would accompany her with my life. If we find out that you hired someone to harm her, I will return the favor tenfold."

Gong Shulan lowered her eyes and smoothed the wrinkles in her clothes that Pei Zhen had rumpled. "So, we're going to do a multiple choice question now."

"What... what kind of multiple choice questions" Pei Zhen trembled, her lips quivering.

Gong Shulan raised her hand, "Lin Yimi saved Yu Chen, so we owe you a life. Now, we are returning that life to you. You can choose which one of you lives, you die and she lives, or she dies and you live."My God! What's going on Did I see things wrong"Old Madam Shen looked back and forth between the two, finally unable to help but speak: "What on earth is going on Who are you What's your purpose in bri...
