Shen Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled, "Of course! Second brother is the best! I believe in him!"

Shen Yunzhou clenched his fists silently.

For some reason, looking at Shen Zhi's smile at this moment made him feel so sad.

Having decided to use the medication, Mr. Lu signed the risk disclosure form, completed all the procedures, and then informed the hospital to make arrangements as soon as possible.

In the closed ward, with Director Zhuang's full set of emergency equipment on standby, the antidote was slowly injected into Lu Jing's vein.

Next comes the most difficult observation period.

Based on the previous cycle of toxin attacks, the next violent attack will inevitably occur within three days.

For the past three days, everyone's hearts have been in their throats.

Grandpa Lu stayed by the door of the ward almost every step of the way, and Shen Zhi and the others also stayed there day and night.

They were afraid that something might happen and they wouldn't be able to get there immediately.

Shen Linchuan felt heartbroken looking at Shen Zhi's increasingly thin face.

Seeing him like this, Shen Zhi became even more clingy and affectionate, always saying funny things to tease him and lighten the mood.

For some reason, seeing Shen Zhi get thinner made Shen Linchuan feel uneasy, as if something bad was going to happen.

Shen Linchuan hugged Shen Zhi even tighter:

"Zhizhi, after we're done with this busy period, let's rest. We won't do anything, just stay by my side and rest to recover, okay?"

Shen Zhi paused for a moment, then did not reply immediately.

Does she still have time?

She still has so many things she wants to do that she hasn't finished. If only she could live a little longer.

"Zhizhi?"

Shen Zhi was pulled back to reality by Shen Linchuan's voice, and hugged him back even tighter: "Okay~ I'll stay by your side from now on and be a lazy bum who doesn't lift a finger. You can't complain about me being lazy~"

"Okay, I definitely won't."

On the first day, Lu Jing had a persistent low-grade fever and his body was experiencing a drug rejection reaction, but there were no signs of toxins causing agitation.

The next day, his body temperature gradually dropped, and he remained calm and stable, showing no signs of losing control or going crazy.

It wasn't until late on the third day that they arrived.

The time when the toxins should have gone out and caused a frenzy has completely passed.

Lu Jing lay peacefully asleep in his hospital bed, his eyes closed, his breathing steady and long, without struggling or losing control.

"We...we succeeded?!"

Zhuang Yan watched anxiously as the clock ticked past midnight. Lu Jing had safely passed the entire day without showing any signs of illness!

In an instant, the boulder that had been pressing on everyone's chests crashed to the ground.

Outside the ward, Grandpa Lu's tense nerves, which had been on edge for days, suddenly relaxed. The elderly man's eyes were red, and he let out a long sigh: "It's a success, it's a success... My Xiao Jing survived!"

Shi Jin, who had been on edge for many days, finally relaxed. He leaned against the wall, his shoulders heaving violently, and silently shed tears of emotion.

Shen Zhi and Liang Shuran exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy of the successful experiment in each other's eyes.

The complete toxicology and clinical data still need to be compiled and transmitted back to the Biomedical Research Institute of Country S for global research teams to further review and improve, in order to address similar military toxin injuries.

The crisis, which had been tense for many days, was finally resolved, and the subsequent data monitoring could be handled by Zhuang Yan's team.

Shen Zhi stretched lazily and looked out the window at the pale light that had appeared sometime earlier; the sun was about to rise.

Shen Zhi spent days and nights in the laboratory, completely exhausting her mental and physical strength.

As soon as the mission was over, she didn't even have the energy to say a few more words to everyone. When she returned to the rest room, she fell into a deep sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow and slept for two whole days and two nights. She didn't even have the strength to get up to eat.

On the morning of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Zhi finally woke up, opened her phone, and saw a message that Li Xiong had sent a day earlier.

[Li Xiong]: Zhizhi, Grandpa will come to China for the Spring Festival to celebrate the New Year with you.

Grandpa is coming... one day ago...

Shen Zhi rubbed her groggy head, sat up straight, quickly washed up, and prepared to go downstairs for brunch.

Perhaps to avoid disturbing her rest, the villa was deserted and very quiet.

"Strange...then I'll take on the task of picking up Grandpa."

She had no idea that while she was engrossed in the lab and asleep for the past few days, Shen Linchuan had been quietly preparing for his marriage proposal at a private sanatorium surrounded by mountains and planted with gardenias.

Meanwhile, the Li family members and Fu Xin's friends were all helping out at the manor.

Shen Linchuan had been secretly planning for a long time, originally intending to propose to Lu Jing in front of everyone on the variety show "Love and Relationships," but unexpectedly, Lu Jing's incident happened midway through.

Now that the problem has finally been resolved, he can't wait to lay bare his feelings to Shen Zhi.

However, none of them expected that the accident would come so suddenly.

Shen Zhi drove alone to the airport, passing through a section of sparsely trafficked suburban elevated auxiliary road.

A large commercial vehicle suddenly changed lanes abruptly, forcing her sports car to a stop.

She was so frightened that her mind cleared instantly. Before she could react, several men in black quickly surrounded her.

The car window was violently smashed.

Shen Zhi was completely frightened. Perhaps because she had just woken up and had been mentally exhausted recently, her reaction speed was noticeably slower.

His vision was blurred by the bloodstains on his forehead, and everything around him began to spin...

Yu Che emerged from the shadow of the van, his eyes filled with obsessive madness.

The unfulfilled desires of two lifetimes had completely burned away his reason.

"Zhizhi".

Shen Zhi squinted to recognize the person, forcing herself to stay awake:

"Lu...Lu Yuche?"

"You recognized me after all."

Yu Che reached his hand through the car window and stroked Shen Zhi's face.

Like a venomous snake coiling around her body, the icy touch made Shen Zhi feel physically disgusted, and she gagged.

"You're insane!"

Yu Che's face contorted in pain at Shen Zhi's reaction, his voice low and manic, "Yes! I'm insane! I love you to the point of madness! Are you satisfied now?"

"You are clearly my wife, you belong to me, why did you leave me? Why didn't you choose the Lu family?"

"Zhizhi, you've been disobedient. I'm going to take you back and discipline you properly. This time, I will not let you leave no matter what."

"take away!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a damp towel was placed over Shen Zhi's mouth and nose, and Shen Zhi's consciousness instantly sank into a daze.

Shen Zhi was forcibly put into a black van, which sped off to the airport.

He wanted to take Shen Zhi to a secluded island overseas, cutting off all her contact with the outside world.

Just her and herself, two people, an island, a lifetime.

Meanwhile, Li Xiong, who had arrived in China, was preparing to exit the station.

He waited at the exit for almost 10 minutes but didn't see a single person, and his face immediately fell.

"Hmph! These juniors, not a single one of them came to pick me up from the airport, it's outrageous!" Li Xiong ordered the butler, "Call me right now and have Zhizhi come pick me up!"

"yes!"

The housekeeper dialed Shen Zhi's number in China three times, but each time there was no answer.

His professional habit over the years led him to check Shen Zhi's location immediately.

I originally thought Shen Zhi was still sleeping and the location wouldn't change, but I never expected the location to be moving so quickly.

"Master, something terrible has happened! Miss Zhizhi is in danger!"
