CHAPTER 450: CHAPTER 276: BEYOND REDEMPTION 2

Hospital.

Gu Qingchen quickly took Bei Ran’s blood for testing, and the results came back soon. Thankfully, it was just a common anesthetic.

However, this served as a warning to Gu Qingchen.

If Qin Shan had attacked Bei Ran the moment he arrived, it wouldn’t have been just a simple anesthetic!

Being overcome with extreme emotion, Bei Ran was still asleep and had not awakened.

Gu Qingchen knew her heart ached, as nothing is more painful than being unable to move while a close friend is in mortal danger and suffering.

Or perhaps, this is exactly the effect Qin Shan wanted.

He targeted Bei Ran’s friends first, and then her.

Gu Qingchen clenched his fists tightly, vowing not to let Qin Shan off the hook!

Soon after, Zhuang Shengxian arrived.

"How’s the situation?" Zhuang Shengxian looked at the lab report.

"It’s just an anesthetic!" Gu Qingchen said: "But Qin Shan is definitely not going to let things rest."

Zhuang Shengxian’s expression was extremely grave: "Could there be any connection between Qin Shan and the Thunderbolt Dark Emperor Long Fei?"

Gu Qingchen looked at the pale-faced Bei Ran: "I’ll find an opportunity to ask Shen Qingya. If Shen Qingya is an underling of Long Fei, she might know if there’s any connection between Qin Shan and Long Fei."

Gu Qingchen held Bei Ran’s hand tightly; he had once promised to free her from worries, from storms, from suffering.

But danger is always so sudden and unpredictable.

Danger could come at any moment, and especially this kind of mental warfare, it always aims for the weakest points.

When Bei Ran woke up, Zhuang Shengxian looked at her: "Are you feeling any better?"

"I’m okay..." Bei Ran struggled to get up, but Gu Qingchen helped her, "Lie down a bit longer, when Tian Xin wakes up, I’ll call you."

She didn’t need to speak, he already understood what she wanted to say.

Bei Ran was worried about Tian Xin, who endured such torment that it would be unbearable for any woman!

"I’m really worried about how Tian Xin will face all this after she wakes up..." Bei Ran said, her eyes reddening.

Gu Qingchen stroked her hair gently, whispering soothingly, "Don’t worry too much, Junyi has been guarding by her side. Moreover, Junyi is a magnanimous and tolerant man, he’ll take care of Tian Xin’s affairs."

"I know Junyi is a good man, but can Tian Xin get over this hurdle in her heart?" Bei Ran said softly.

Gu Qingchen fell silent; the hurdle in one’s heart is difficult for anyone to surmount.

Nevertheless, one has to press on regardless.

Bei Ran looked at Zhuang Shengxian, who was intently reviewing her report. This stocky man was showing such focus towards her.

Although she had always been cool and distant before, she realized after this incident that it is those close to you who need to be cherished the most.

"Director Zhuang..." Bei Ran called out to him, "Thank you..."

"Silly child, what are you talking about?" Zhuang Shengxian looked at her, "It is I who failed to protect you. By the way, did you get a look at Qin Shan’s face?"

"No!" Bei Ran shook her head, "I didn’t realize it was him, his stature and build are almost like that of a woman, slender. But his face, the disguise was extremely delicate, at first glance, it gave nothing away."

At this, Zhuang Shengxian turned to Gu Qingchen: "Long Fei was very good at such disguises back in the day, I suspect Qin Shan must be related to Long Fei. This won’t do, I’ve got to find him..."

Zhuang Shengxian said he wouldn’t allow Long Fei to harm Bei Ran again!

He couldn’t!

Absolutely not!

After saying this, Zhuang Shengxian left in a rage.

Bei Ran called out to him: "Director Zhuang..."

Turning back, Zhuang Shengxian looked at Bei Ran, who was as beautiful as ever despite her pallor, and he felt an even deeper sympathy and tenderness for her.

"Please be careful!" Bei Ran said softly.

"I will!" Zhuang Shengxian replied, touched.

After Zhuang Shengxian left, Bei Ran leaned on Gu Qingchen’s shoulder, "It’s my fault for not recognizing him, allowing him onto the car, and thus leading to Tian Xin getting hurt..."

"Now is not the time for self-reproach!" Gu Qingchen comforted her softly, "It’s not your fault! What we need now is to work together to overcome these difficulties, not to take on the blame for others’ misconduct on ourselves."

It was in his embrace that Bei Ran felt a moment’s peace, leaning into his neck.

"I want to go see Tian Xin..." she looked up at him.

Gu Qingchen helped her up: "Let’s go together!"

The two left the VIP ward and went to Tian Xin’s ward. Tian Xin hadn’t woken up yet while Yang Junyi, tears in his eyes, was holding her hand and watching her.
