What made him even more devastated was that the hospital had cremated Gu Anqi’s body without informing him, what audacity! Like an enraged lion, his eyes bloodshot, he stormed into the director’s office, yelling, “Who gave you the audacity to act on your own?” The director, unable to withstand such a scare, trembled as he explained, “Mr. Ji, it was a doctor here who did it; I really had no idea!” “Which doctor?” Ji Li hadn’t expected such a significant event to occur in the brief time he was away from the hospital, leaving him feeling unreal. “It was Dr. Song Qiang. We received his message this morning, and we also found his resignation letter on his desk.” The old director shakily handed the resignation letter to Ji Li. Ji Li didn’t take it, instead, he asked, “Did he say where he went?” “No… no.” “Find him for me!” Ji Li no longer wasted time there and immediately sent people to track down Dr. Song Qiang. To his surprise, the investigation revealed that Song Qiang and Chen Zhaoran had been long-time friends. This matter definitely had something to do with Chen Zhaoran! He rushed to Chen’s house to confront Chen Zhaoran but was told he had gone abroad to study. Song Qiang had vanished into thin air, and despite using all his connections, Ji Li couldn’t find him. This left Ji Li with a glimmer of hope; he hadn’t found Gu Anqi’s body, so perhaps she was still alive, taken away by those two. Better not dead. Ji Li was confused about his own feelings; he hated Gu Anqi so much he wished to kill her himself, yet upon hearing of her death, he felt as if a part of his heart was missing. He continued to have his people search for Gu Anqi globally, convinced in his heart that she was still alive, which had become his belief to cling to.
Remembering what the doctor had said about Gu Anqi’s anemia, he wondered why he had never known. “There are two types of anemia, one caused by a congenital deficiency of hemoglobin, and the other from excessive blood loss; Miss Gu’s condition seems to be the latter.” The director was anxious as Ji Li suddenly brought up Gu Anqi’s anemia, fearing that the blood shortage would be revealed. Fortunately, Ji Li didn’t press further, and thus the matter of Rh-negative blood wasn’t mentioned. “Under normal circumstances, if Miss Gu had rested well for a few days, she would not have been in danger, but we don’t know what exactly Dr. Song Qiang did at the time.”
Since Song Qiang had already run off with Gu Anqi, the dean thought it would be best to clear his responsibility as much as possible, so he began to nag. This only confirmed Ji Li’s suspicion—Gu Anqi was not dead! Thinking of Gu Wencheng still being in prison, as long as Gu Anqi was alive, she would definitely visit her father. He only needed to arrange for people to stake out the prison, waiting for her to show up. Sooner or later, he would catch her. Across the ocean, after being unconscious for half a month, Gu Anqi finally woke up.
“Mo Mo, are you okay?” Chen Zhaoran, seeing her awake, immediately went over to ask with concern. At this moment, Gu Anqi was no longer the same Gu Anqi who was once bullied by Ji Li; her gaze now held a hint of ruthlessness and determination. Ji Li, since you’ve already killed my child, the debt my family owes you is now settled. Now, shouldn’t we settle the score for you trying to kill me?
“Zhaoran, I want to return to the country!” Gu Anqi’s eyes were fixed straight ahead, her gaze was something Chen Zhaoran had never seen before, which made him even more captivated by her.

While Ji Li was discussing an investment case with important clients, he suddenly received a call. Ignoring the surprised looks from the clients, he dashed out without a word. The people monitoring the prison had called to say that a young woman had visited Gu Wencheng. Gu Wencheng had many enemies in the business world, and his imprisonment was something to celebrate for many, except for Gu Anqi. Since Gu Anqi had been under Ji Li’s control, she hadn’t had a chance to visit her father since his imprisonment. Seeing her father, who looked as if he had aged ten years in just three months, Gu Anqi’s tears fell instantly. Even if Ji Li said her father had done many bad things, he was still the best person in the world to her.
Gu Wencheng, looking at Gu Anqi, was also in tears. Everything was a retribution, and during his time in prison, he had come to understand this. But he only hoped that the evil he had done would not affect his daughter. The father and daughter had a heartfelt talk, sharing good news rather than bad. The visiting time ended quickly, and Gu Anqi left with red, swollen eyes. As soon as she stepped out of the prison gates, she was forcefully dragged into a car by a group of people.
Gu Anqi wasn’t panicked at all; she had guessed that those waiting at the prison gate could only be Ji Li or Chu Youyou.
“Who do we have here? Isn’t Miss Gu supposed to be dead? Am I seeing a ghost?” Ji Li grabbed her chin, leaning in to mock her.
Gu Anqi’s gaze turned cold. “Who are you? Are you trying to abduct me in broad daylight?”
“What are you playing at now? Pretending to be foolish or amnesiac?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, nor do I know who this Miss Gu is you’re referring to. Please, show some respect!” Gu Anqi pulled back, breaking free from Ji Li’s grip.
Ji Li’s eyes darkened; he had been waiting for so long, and now Gu Anqi was still playing these low-IQ games with him. “Gu Anqi, I warn you to behave yourself. Do I need to take you back to see that old man, Gu Wencheng?”
Gu Anqi let out a cold laugh. “I don’t know who this old man is you’re talking about. I came here to see my husband, who is the warden here. I warn you to let me go now, or he won’t let you off easily!”
Hearing that Gu Anqi had a husband, even though he knew it was a lie, Ji Li was furious. He didn’t bother with the pretense anymore; he adjusted the seat and prepared to deal with her on the spot.
“You lunatic, let me go!” She struggled, pulling out a stun gun from her pocket, and zapped him when he tried to undress her. Gu Anqi looked at him coldly, thinking, “Do you think I’m still the old Gu Anqi you could manipulate?”
She took out a prepared mold, imprinting Ji Li’s fingerprints and keys onto it. Back when Ji Li had taken her for a fool, secretly controlling everything in her family, leading to their downfall, her father indeed had committed crimes, but Ji Li’s actions against her were equally criminal! This time, she would use his own methods against him. She didn’t believe Ji Li, who had been in business for so long, could keep his hands clean. Ji Li was definitely not clean!
When Ji Li woke up, Gu Anqi was long gone. He smirked, realizing he had underestimated this woman. Even a cornered rabbit would bite. However… his gaze turned dangerously sharp. Had she been with Chen Zhaoran all this time? And who was this warden she spoke of? Regardless of whether it was just a random fabrication, he needed to thoroughly investigate any man connected to Gu Anqi. But no matter how he searched, he couldn’t find any trace of Gu Anqi, and the warden was just an ordinary married man, not her husband as she claimed. Why couldn’t he find her whereabouts? If Chen Zhaoran was backing her now, there was no way things would be this airtight. In a fit of rage, he punched the steering wheel. That ungrateful woman, who had she hooked up with behind his back?
