Yu Lian stopped in her tracks by the roadside.

Okay, goodnight.

She turned and walked back.

Unexpectedly, the person behind me suddenly spoke up: "Um... given the trouble I caused you and your family some time ago, I have asked a professional appraiser to calculate the relevant costs. I will send you a list tomorrow. If you verify that everything is correct, the corresponding compensation will be deposited into your account."

Yu Lian stopped and turned to look at him: "No need, Mr. Li, let's go back, it's getting late."

Yu Lian could actually see the sickness in Li Yanshen. Under the dim streetlights, not only his face but also his exposed skin had a sickly pale color, making him look less like a living person and more like a walking corpse. It was all her fault for thinking the wrong thing yesterday; even in this state, he was still thinking about repaying the money, so he probably wasn't a bad person. Yu Lian didn't ask any further questions, mainly because she wanted him to go home and rest quickly, fearing that something might happen if she wasn't careful.

The next day.

Exhausted, Yu Lian got out of bed when she opened her eyes to see a huge dark cloud overhead. After dawdling for a long time, she finally went out, only to find Li Yanshen standing across the door, staring blankly at the ground.

"Li Yanshen, are you feeling unwell? Should I call a doctor?"

Hearing the question behind him, Li Yanshen reached out and slowly stood up, supporting himself against the wall. Bathed in the golden morning sunlight, his face looked even more terrifying than it had been the night before. Yu Lian's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively reached out to help.

"Why don't you just..."

"Can I go with you?"

Before Yu Lian could finish speaking her concerns, Li Yanshen precisely stated his requirements.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Anywhere is fine, as long as it's not home. I'm in so much pain, please."

After saying that, he could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground. Li Yanshen's body suddenly slumped down, swaying uncontrollably from side to side. Yu Lian rushed forward, but didn't know how to help. She stood there anxiously for a couple of seconds before turning back home.

"Li Yanshen, come on, drink more water and you'll feel better."

Just before the bottle tip touched Li Yanshen's lips, Li Yanshen pushed the bottle away: "I won't drink it."

Yu Lian lost her grip, and the spiritual spring water in the bottle spilled all over the ground, leaving only a little over half of the bottle.

"No, you have to drink it."

In an instant, Yu Lian abandoned basic respect for others, forcing Li Yanshen to finish the rest of the water. Watching him painfully drink the water little by little, Yu Lian anxiously observed his reaction. After a while, Li Yanshen's complexion improved considerably. Yu Lian then fetched some medicine and instructed him to take it when he felt unwell.

"take me."

Li Yanshen's gaze was as firm as if it had been tempered with ice.

Are you sure your body can handle it?

Speaking of his body, Li Yanshen said in despair, "I'm not sure, but I'm sure that if I'm going to die, I don't want to die here."

Helpless, Yu Lian seriously considered Li Yanshen's request. Half an hour later, Li Yanshen followed Yu Lian to the company.

Because the company was facing an unprecedented crisis, a deathly silence had settled over everyone. While everyone appeared busy and working tirelessly, a deathly atmosphere permeated the entire company. Li Yanshen followed them inside and quickly discovered the problem.

"Has something happened to your company?"

Yu Lian nodded, but did not elaborate. She escorted Li Yanshen to a lounge, gave him a few instructions, and then hurriedly left.

No sooner had Yu Lian left than Li Yanshen pushed open the door and began strolling around the company. During his stroll, he gleaned some very useful information, understanding why Yu Lian had seemed so distracted. He continued wandering the company until he understood the entire story, then returned to the break room, pretending nothing had happened.

Just as it was mealtime, someone brought him a lunchbox.

"Thank you. May I ask where Yu Lian is?"

The assistant revealed that Yu Lian was currently in a meeting.

"I want to see her, is that alright?"

"I'm afraid that won't work. The meeting that's currently in session is extremely important; it concerns the very survival of the company."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Although he couldn't see Yu Lian, Li Yanshen had already come up with a solution, and this amount of time was enough.

I waited until it was time to leave work, but I still didn't see Yu Lian.

"Mr. Li Yanshen, the boss instructed me to take you home first. Would you like to leave now?"

Li Yanshen nodded, said nothing, and left with the driver.

It wasn't until 2 a.m. that Li Yanshen heard the sound of a car engine coming from across the street. He slowly walked out and called out to Yu Lian just as she was about to close the garage door.

Yu Lian thought she was hallucinating in the middle of the night, but she looked over in this direction without believing it, and sure enough, she saw someone. Yu Lian wasn't surprised that Li Yanshen wasn't sleeping in the middle of the night, after all, he was currently suffering from illness, and the pain in his body didn't discriminate between time and night.

"Did you take the medicine I gave you? If it works, I can give you some more."

Li Yanshen first politely thanked her, and then got straight to the point and started talking to her about the problems that Progress Pharmaceuticals was currently facing.

"Oh, you asked around at the company during the day?"

"No, I overheard some people talking about this when I went to the restroom. Please don't mind, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

Yu Lian waved her hand, looking indifferent: "It's nothing. After we went to court for two days, the whole city knows."

Yu Lian's words carried a hint of bittersweet humor. Just as her mood was slightly downcast, Li Yanshen across from her suddenly spoke up: "I have a way to handle this."

Those few words made Yu Lian's heart skip a beat: "You really have a way? You're not kidding me?"

Yu Lian was now helpless. The previous success of Progress Pharmaceuticals was purely due to her own cheating tool – her spatial ability. Now, this was a problem the spatial ability couldn't solve. All the people around her who could help were gone, and without experience, she could only wander around like a headless fly. Today, she finally found a clue, only to be brought back to reality by the legal department. She was already prepared to take the other company to court, but unexpectedly, when she returned late at night, Li Yanshen gave her a huge surprise. Logically, she shouldn't believe what a fool said, but for some reason, Yu Lian's sixth sense told her that Li Yanshen was reliable – reliable now that he had regained his normal intelligence.

"Great! Would you like to tell me about it?"

Yu Lian's decisive attitude left Li Yanshen stunned. After all, he had previously been an illiterate, helpless fool; no ordinary person would have believed him.

"You...do you really believe me?"

Yu Lian was stunned, then said, "Of course I believe you, so tell me, what's the plan?"
