Chapter 17 - Why Was She Suddenly Feeling A Little Worried About Him?
Gu Qiqi was almost ready to explode from anger.
This man was so overbearing that there was no hope for him at all.
He was the one who had been acting like a scoundrel, all right?
How did it change to her seducing him? And he even wanted to imprison her forcefully?
"Master Jue, the plane is ready," Special Assistant Lu reported.
"Look for someone to watch over her! You, come with me," Gong Jue instructed and alighted from the car.
All of these seemed to happen in a short period of time.
Gu Qiqi wasn't able to respond at all before she saw a considerably valiant-looking model of a plane forcefully descend onto that initially flat and expansive road.
The plane's rotating turbine engines let out a roaring noise that made everything seem unrealistic.
The violent wind that had blown into the car door lifted Gu Qiqi's skirt and the piercing headlights turned the scene hazy so she couldn't make head or tails of everything that was happening.
She could only identify a tall and sturdy back profile from the blurriness. Like a heavenly god, the figure was surrounded by a group of people as he strode up the plane—as though he was stepping onto clouds.
This kind of scene that would only appear in movies was actually unfolding in front of her.
Brave warriors going into battle and a cold-hearted general on a mission where life and death were unpredictable.
She hadn't forgotten what Special Assistant Lu had said when he took the call. "The other party has no business ethics. If all they had wanted to do was to steal our technological system, then it would be fine. But they even used poison along the perimeter of the laboratory and disseminated a deadly virus! The surrounding villagers—men, women, old and young—will all be implicated. When the time comes, they can then frame us by saying that our raw materials are toxic…" Just listening to it was terrifying.
Turns out that business wars among high-tech companies are so insidious!
At the exact moment that the airplane cabin door closed, the man seemed to have turned his head back to stare at her.
Was he looking at her?
Afraid that she would escape?
Gu Qiqi lifted her eyes and pursed her lips as she glared back at him.
"You tyrannical, flaccid guy! You better come back alive! Otherwise, I'm definitely going to run away!" she muttered in a low voice.
Eh? Why did she speak like she was a little worried about him?
Late at night.
Gu Qiqi was forced into Qing City's Science City that was located along the seaside—it was a research base that was sealed off from the public.
The room was minimalistic.
Apart from a wooden slab of bed, there was nothing else!
Although she had secretly retrieved her hand phone and brought it along with her when she alighted from the car, the battery had long been thrown away by Gong Jue. Hence, the cell phone had become a useless brick.
How was this any different from sitting in jail?
Harboring worries, Gu Qiqi couldn't fall asleep on the bed for a long time.
She definitely wasn't worrying about that tyrannical and flaccid man. She definitely wasn't worried about whether he would die or not when he was executing his mission.
Definitely not!
She was only… She was only worried about her good friend Xiao Ning, who was helping her steal that application form. Did something happen to her? Would she panic when she couldn't find her?
Furthermore, she was also concerned about her younger brother, Gu Xiaobei. Would he be bullied in the hospice for palliative care? Would the treatment fees for his next stage be docked by Gu Meifeng?
She remembered that mysterious and perverted guy in that operating room once more. Just who exactly was that person?
Gu Qiqi knew that her questions currently had no answers, so she could only calm down and reflect on her next course of action. Which college should she apply to, so that she can reverse her fate in this lifetime?
She needed to reveal her outstanding talent in the world of medicine—and become the most awesome medical genius—before she would have a chance to meet this world's top-notch doctors and find a way to cure her younger brother's disease completely.
She also had to earn a lot of money. But would never give a single cent to the Gu family.
In addition to these, she also had to topple the Gu family and crush their ambitions thoroughly, so that she could admire their despair, admire how they would be driven mad by their crushing defeat.
"Xiaobei, don't worry. Even without Mother, you still have your older sister here."
"Older Sister will definitely live arrogantly and passionately in this lifetime. I won't let anyone bully us again."
Gu Qiqi was locked up by Gong Jue for three entire days.
Counting the days with her fingers, Gu Qiqi started to panic..
It was the last day for the deadline of filling out the college application form!
If she still couldn't hand in the application form by today, it would be too late!
Because the school would seal all of the application forms into a confidential folder and hand it over to the ministry of education.
Even with her eyes closed, Gu Qiqi could already imagine how Gu Meifeng and Gu Xuexue would convince her father Gu Qiushan to fill her college application form for a random nursing school that specialized in the nursing profession so that she would become an ordinary nurse!
