In the quiet car, Shen Xi felt an impulse to say something. However, her lips mumbled for a while, and in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to speak.

Guan Lei chuckled, “Xi, you don’t have to force yourself to say anything. Today’s truth or dare game was unexpected, but I don’t deny that I wanted you to know more about us. 1 want you to understand that our feelings are real, and those memories in your mind are implanted, they’re fake.”

Shen Xi abruptly spoke, “I’ve read the materials you sent me about emotional control. So, you should know that it’s very likely I’ll only recognize Gu Chen as my partner for the rest of my life. Even if we have differences, I probably won’t betray him and fall in love with someone else.”

Guan Lei smiled and said casually, “I’ve read the information too. So, I’ve decided that if this is the outcome, I’ll abide by the promise I made to you. I’ll pursue you for a lifetime. In short, 1 won’t let you be with Gu Chen. If you can’t recover for the rest of your life, I’ll stand between you and Gu Chen forever, making him miserable every day, giving him thirty-one days of unrest in a month.’

Shen Xi was amused by Guan Lei’s words and said with a wry smile, “Why go to such lengths? Why wait a lifetime for someone impossible?”

“You may have forgotten, but I remember. When we got back together, I promised you that I wouldn’t let go in this lifetime for any reason. You spent a lot of time punishing me, making me believe that you have me in your heart and that you love me. In return, 1 made a promise to you. So, Xi, you’re not an impossible person; you’re just unwell,” Guan Lei spoke in a subdued tone, tinged with a hint of melancholy.

As if recalling something, Guan Lei’s lips curved gently. “Xi, I’m someone that you’ve taken deliberate actions to be with. So, I must protect you. In case one day you wake up and realize the person lying next to you isn’t me, but Gu Chen. Knowing your temperament, I believe you’d be so furious that you might take me up into the sky in a helicopter and then throw me down, leaving me with no place to rest in peace.”

As Guan Lei spoke, he laughed, and his posture carried a sense of loneliness, causing Shen Xi to feel a hint of sympathy.

The person in front of her was someone she had defied all odds to be with, but she couldn’t remember. What was she to do?

A rootless, wandering panic instantly crawled up Shen Xi’s mind. Her heart uncontrollably stabbed with pain, quickly spread with overwhelming force, causing Shen Xi to cover her head.

The pain this time was more severe than the previous episodes. Shen Xi instinctively curled up, feeling as if her head was violently pounded from all sides, on the verge of exploding.

Alarmed, Guan Lei quickly parked the car in a safe area. Familiar with the routine, he took out the painkiller from Shen Xi’s bag, fed it to her, and then firmly embraced her, gently patting her back with a face full of heartache.

“Alright, Xi, let’s not think about it. Let’s not think about it,” Guan Lei’s heart ached almost to the point of bleeding.

It took a full ten minutes for Shen Xi to slowly recover.

The next day, as a consequence of Guan Lei’s concern for Shen Xi, he directly reported a violation in one of Gu t s family projects, causing a billion-dollar project to be halted for investigation.

Gu Chen watched the news, his lips curling slightly. He figured that Guan Lei must have faced some setbacks with Shen Xi last night, leading to today’s madness.

Facing Guan Lei’s provocation, Gu Chen didn’t hold back either. Soon, a food company controlled by Guan’s family fell into a food safety crisis. All products were recalled, resulting in a direct loss of at least fifty million.

Most infuriatingly, in the end, nothing was found.

The back-and-forth between the Gu and Guan families aroused suspicion in the business world. Everyone speculated about what had happened between the two families, why they suddenly became so direct, openly attacking each other without restraint.

Meanwhile, news of Li Dan’s sudden coma reached Beijing from Hai City. Guan Lei, who was planning to confront Gu Chen and let off some steam, suddenly realized that something was amiss.

Guan Lei tried to contact Li Zhe but to no avail. This further unsettled Guan
