Starting by picking up a female fan, he swept through the martial arts world.

Chapter 167 The Queen Bee Returns to the Nest, Gu Manzhi's Farewell

Jiang Lang looked at the nurse: "Are you sure you're all better? Didn't you say it would take at least another month?"

The nurse smiled. "Miss Gu has been in very good spirits these past few days, and the collection of her soul replenishment is indeed progressing faster. The director said that if it weren't for the sword hanging over her soul core, he would think Miss Gu could heal herself."

"Good!"

Jiang Lang breathed a sigh of relief: "So what do we need to do now?"

The nurse smiled and said, "A comprehensive mental health check is needed first, which may take a day. Mr. Jiang, you can continue with your work and wait until tonight—"

Jiang Lang interrupted, "No need, I can rest for a day without any problem."

"elder brother!"

Gu Manzhi chuckled lightly: "Go ahead and do your thing. I'll come find you when I'm done."

Jiang Lang frowned, still wanting to refuse.

Gu Manzhi scratched his palm: "I've already taken up so much of your time, if I take up other people's time too, they'll think I'm being inconsiderate. You can keep me company when you get back tonight!"

As he spoke, Chongjiang Lang gave him an encouraging look.

Jiang Lang could only agree: "Then if you need anything, just call me!"

Gu Manzhi smiled gently: "I know! Go ahead, I'll wait for you."

I watched Jiang Lang leave.

She felt a little empty inside, but still managed a smile at the nurse: "Is my risk very high?"

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

The nurse nodded: "After all, it's a surgery on a spiritual level, so the risks are definitely not low."

Gu Manzhi then asked, "Is it very likely that I will die?"

The nurse remained silent.

Gu Manzhi smiled and said, "Can I talk to your dean? I still want to know the truth about my surgery."

The nurse paused for a moment, then looked apologetic: "Please wait a moment, I'll contact the hospital director right away."

After saying that, he quickly left the room.

Gu Manzhi looked lost and sat by the hospital bed for a long time to calm herself down.

The ticking of the clock hands made her increasingly anxious.

But she also knew that the "hospital director" and "attending physician" mentioned by the nurses were often not here, so there was no use in being anxious.

So, in extreme agony, she waited for half an hour.

finally----

"Squeak!"

The sound of the ward door being pushed open was like the tolling of a verdict.

Gu Manzhi quickly stood up, and upon seeing who it was, she was taken aback: "Dean?"

She had always thought that the "director" the nurse referred to was the hospital director.

I never expected it to be this dean.

Liu Xiu helped Chu Xi sit on the sofa, saying, "Don't be nervous, sit down!"

Gu Manzhi felt increasingly uneasy upon seeing Liu Xiu.

She hadn't asked about the specifics of what happened on Jiangdao Island that day, but she knew it had nothing to do with the name "Mo Li," so the person who saved her wasn't exactly a respectable figure either.

The fact that neither the hospital director nor the attending physician has shown their faces these past few days, and that they have been keeping their senses shut when entering and leaving the ward, precisely illustrates this point.

But now, Liu Xiu has made his appearance.

This is not a good sign.

Gu Manzhi sat back on the hospital bed, hesitating for a moment: "Dean! What have you arranged for me, treatment or something else?"

Liu Xiu smiled and asked, "From my perspective, what should I arrange for you?"

Gu Manzhi pondered for a moment: "If I were you, I would wish for Gu Manzhi to die."

Liu Xiu did not deny it: "Yes! If Jiang Lang had been unconscious at the time, I would not have let you see the sun rise the next day."

Gu Manzhi asked in bewilderment, "But on my first night here, I was almost dead, why didn't you—"

"If you die, will I still cooperate with Jiang Lang?"

"----Too."

Gu Manzhi took a deep breath: "So, are you planning to send me to my death this time?"

Liu Xiu shook his head and patted Chu Xi's hand.

Chu Xi sighed softly, turned on her phone, and handed it to Gu Manzhi.

Upon seeing the contents, Gu Manzhi exclaimed softly, "Uncle!"

Chu Xi asked with pity, "Do you know that woman next to you?"

"she----"

Gu Manzhi hesitated for a moment, but seeing that the person who posted the photos was Dou Yunqi, she felt there was no need to hide it anymore, so she could only grit her teeth and say, "She is another potential queen bee. She is very famous in the scientific research circle. You should know her."

"really!"

Chu Xi had an expression that said, "I knew it."

Gu Manzhi stared at her phone screen, her body trembling slightly.

So, the throne has always known where I am?

The blame for my failure to complete the wedding flight last time fell entirely on my uncle.

Even so, the throne still gave me a chance.

Not only did it not destroy my mark, it also gave me seven days.

really.

All the worries have come true.

Gu Manzhi's lips trembled slightly: "Dean, I need your help."

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Please speak!"

Gu Manzhi's face turned pale: "When my brother comes back tonight, tell him that the chances of death during this treatment are quite high. Then prepare a fake corpse of mine, and cremate it in front of him. If possible, get me plastic surgery—"

Liu Xiu picked up the conversation: "That was my plan from the beginning."

Gu Manzhi was taken aback for a moment, then sincerely thanked her, "Thank you!"

Regardless, Jiang Lang is the drone chosen by the throne.

The throne cannot be easily relinquished!

Confirming his own death would only benefit Jiang Lang.

So—I'm still a burden.

Liu Xiu stood up: "I'm glad you think that way too. I hope one day you can become a true queen bee. Cooperating with you is much better than cooperating with your throne."

Gu Manzhi: "————"

But looking like this, how could I possibly be qualified to be the queen bee?

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "I'll create a little danger for you later and call Jiang Lang back. It's the last day, so let him spend more time with you."

Gu Manzhi smiled apologetically: "Thank you! You've worked hard these past few days."

Liu Xiu said calmly, "No need to thank me, it's all for Mo Li!"

Gu Manzhi watched Liu Xiu and Chu Xi leave, let out a long sigh, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling for a long time.

Habitat big.

The sixth floor of the laboratory building.

Bai Zhaoli showed the teaching plan to Jiang Lang for the third time.

Her daily work now is to organize what she has learned from Jiang Lang in the simplest way possible, but she is not sure if she is right, so she has to let Jiang Lang go through it.

This is the third edition today.

While Jiang Lang was looking at the plan, she took out a pair of mirrors and looked around.

"That's strange, you didn't bring any family members today."

On the first day Gu Manzhi visited the set, she was so annoyed that she felt dizzy and overwhelmed.

As a result, after several days, she actually became desensitized by the treatment.

Now she feels refreshed and full of the sense of fulfillment that comes from doing meaningful work every day.

She was actually a little unaccustomed to Gu Manzhi not coming.

"I've said it several times, I'm busy with important matters!"

Jiang Lang curled his lip: "This version of the plan is flawless, just send it to Ghost Eye!"

Bai Zhaoli rolled her eyes at him and returned to her temporary workstation to submit her manuscript.

As she was writing, she saw Jiang Lang answer a phone call and leave the house.

She couldn't help but prick up her ears to listen.

Jiang Lang's voice was low and anxious.

"How could this happen?"

"Hold things steady over there, I'll be right back."

"Let Manzhi answer my phone."

"Hey! Manzhi, you have to hang in there!"

Then, he left in a hurry.

Bai Zhaoli:

Is your lover having health problems again?

She stared at the direction where Jiang Lang had disappeared for a long time, then sighed softly before turning her gaze away.

Actually, she didn't have any ill feelings towards Gu Manzhi; she just felt that fate was too absurd.

Forget it.

It's none of my business!

Let's get down to business first!

Bai Zhaoli turned her gaze back to the document.

But just then, her phone rang.

Looking at the screen, I saw an unfamiliar number.

She frowned, but still chose to answer the call.

"Feed?"

"Hello, Miss Bai."

Gu Manzhi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Bai Zhaoli narrowed her eyes: "Miss Gu, weren't you seriously ill?"

Gu Manzhi pondered for a moment: "They're all fake."

Bai Zhaoli:

She almost broke down.

He felt a dislike for Gu Manzhi again.

OK OK.

Brave people enjoy the world first, right?

She was speechless for a moment, unsure of what to say.

Finally, Gu Manzhi broke the silence: "I'm sorry for taking what should have been yours."

"Stolen?"

Bai Zhaoli's tone was somewhat cold and hard: "Miss Gu doesn't need to take the blame for herself. Apart from my parents, nothing in this world is born to be mine."

If it's truly mine, you have no power to take it away. What's the point of showing pity now?

Showing off?

"no!"

"What is this if not showing off? Miss Gu, do you think I'm easy to bully? I'm only being polite to you out of respect for Jiang Lang and because I trust their judgment of you, but if you—"

"I'm leaving!"

"Um?"

Bai Zhaoli was stunned for a moment: "Leave? What do you mean?"
