Chapter 568
All the hesitation and uncertainty she had felt in the past immediately disappeared.
She had always thought Shichu had never changed.
But he changed the most.
What Shichu did was worse than the Su Family.
She was the only target of the Su Family. But Shichu wanted to kill Muchen.
The virus was too deadly. Ziyue could hardly believe Shichu had done this out of confusion.
Shichu was older than her. Moreover, he was mature and careful, like Muchen.
He had always considered carefully before making any decisions.
She was certain that he wanted Muchen dead.
The whole room fell into dead silence.
It was so quiet that they could hear each other's breaths.
Ziyue calmed herself down before turning towards Muchen. "Can you please excuse us? I would like to have a few
words with him in private."
It sounded like an earnest plea. However, the disappointment in her eyes was evident.
Muchen narrowed his eyes and cast a nonchalant glance at Shichu.
Then, he walked out quietly.
He closed the door after him. The atmosphere in the room became awkward once more.
The look in Ziyue's eyes was cold as she asked, "Why did you do it?"
She had turned to Shichu for help when Muchen's condition worsened, and she did not know what to do. She was
afraid she might cause him trouble, so she did not tell him much about what had happened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut she had never expected Shichu to be the main culprit for Muchen's health condition!
She could not imagine how Shichu could bear watching her get anxious about Muchen.
Shichu was now half-tied to the chair. He looked haggard and embarrassed.
He raised his head and looked at Ziyue. He smiled, "I did it out of convenience."
Some feelings cannot be stopped.
He had known Ziyue since he was young and had fallen in love with her since. He could not let go of her.
The thought of killing Muchen did not come to him overnight. Shichu knew it too.
Nobody knew who he was. Moreover, Yannan, the only subordinate who knew, was dead. If Muchen really died,
Ziyue wouldn't have known he was the culprit.
Ziyue might get upset if Muchen died. But she still had Zixi. She would get through it.
Then, Ziyue might even accept his love one day.
However, Shichu had gotten impatient at last. He sent Ziyue an email when Muchen's condition worsened. That
made Muchen raise his suspicion against Shichu.
Shichu knew Muchen was a spiteful person. He would make Shichu die with him if he could.
Shichu was worried that Muchen would tell Ziyue everything. Even if Ziyue trusted him, Chuan would still keep an
eye on him. Then, one day, Ziyue would find out about everything.
So after some consideration, Shichu gave Ziyue the antidote for the virus. He did not wish for Ziyue to hate him
forever.
Sure enough, Ziyue had lost her trust in him now. But she did not hate him.
Shichu knew Ziyue too well.
Everything had turned out better than he expected.
"I feel like I don't know you at all, Shichu." Tears filled Ziyue's eyes. But she did not let them fall.
Shichu.
Shichu smiled weakly. He might never hear Ziyue call him anymore.
"Our motto of survival is to do anything we can to achieve our goal!"
Ziyue shouted in rage. "Nonsense! How could you do this? You are a doctor! You are meant to save lives! What is
human life to you?"
Besides his attempt to kill Muchen, Ziyue was more upset about his selfishness. How could he treat a human being
like that? How could he kill anyone as he wanted?
Although he failed, he did not sound guilty at all.
He was not the kind and sweet Shichu she knew.
"I've worked for Gricy for two years. You should know how ruthless they are." Shichu continued breaking Ziyue's
heart even more as he spoke.
Ziyue frowned hard. She looked angry and confused. But soon, she regained her composure and said calmly. "This
isn't you at all! Why would you join Gricy? Did you get into any trouble?"
Shichu was born into a family of doctors. The Lu Family was well-known in the medical industry.
Shichu was the only son in his family. Moreover, his family was powerful. He did not have to join Gricy.
"Don't be so naïve. I'm not necessarily the person you think I am. You are twenty-four this year, not three. You
should believe what you see. Why are you so stupid?"
Shichu's voice slowly became cold and stern. The look on his face had turned sinister too.
Ziyue had never seen Shichu like this.
She refused to hear him out anymore. She yelled at him. "Shut up!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen, she bit her lip and ran out.
The sinister look on Shichu's face immediately disappeared after Ziyue left.
How could there be such a kind heart in this cruel world? She even asked if he had gotten into trouble after he had
done something so unforgivable toward her.
He was not as humanitarian as she thought he was.
Although joining Gricy wasn't his initial intention, he could not control himself later.
He did not expect to stay alive after being captured by Muchen. So, perhaps he could still teach Ziyue one last
lesson in life.
No one would stay the same forever in this world.
Do not trust anyone easily.
Even the closest person to you.
…
Ziyue ran out of the basement. She could no longer control the heartache, so she held onto the garden fence and
cried hard.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her.
She turned around quickly, just to find Muchen behind her.
She wiped the tears on her face and choked, "Can… Can you let him go?"
Her face was red from her wiping her tears. She looked devastated.
But she was pleading for another man earnestly.
"Why should I let him go? To give him another chance to drug me again?" Muchen replied Ziyue coldly.
Ziyue knew that it was an absurd request for her to make.
But I could not bear watching Shichu die. After all, we had grown up together since we were young. Moreover…
"Let him go. I will never see him anymore."
