"How is that possible? That hospital is famous for its success in treating such cases. Wasn't the child's surgery performed by the best surgeons in Country M?" Rong Xiao furrowed his brows. "Is there really no cure?"
"If Cheng Xi's hand could still be saved, would I have let Yichen leave?" Gu Ruochu asked. "I had to stall Huo Nanchen for five hours, and I ended up sacrificing myself in the end."
Rong Xiao sighed when he heard Gu Ruochu's explanation. He did not know why, but he felt goosebumps all over his body. His entire body trembled as he said, "It appears that things are not good between you and Huo Nanchen. What will you do now?"
Rong Xiao could not bear to see anyone mistreat Gu Ruochu.
However, he knew that she was always one step ahead of her enemies.
After thinking about the whole incident, Rong Xiao felt that Huo Nanchen was a little pitiful.
"Are we still brothers?" Gu Ruochu glared at him. "Do you remember the WeChat number you gave me last time?"
"Yes, I remember. Did you find out anything useful?"
The two of them had already left the airport and had entered the parking lot where Rong Xiao had parked his car.
"I spoke to the person who transferred money into my bank account." Gu Ruochu opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat before fastening her seatbelt.
"Who is it?"
Rong Xiao started the engine and drove out of the parking lot and onto the highway.
"I don't know. The WeChat contact was mysteriously saved as Contact N. I don't understand what the N stands for. The person asked me why I hadn't used the money in the account and told me not to act like a child. The individual also said that the old Gu Ruochu's car accident was just an act."
"The car accident was just an act?"
Rong Xiao raised his eyebrows in astonishment. "Why did she save the number as Contact N? Does the letter have a hidden meaning?"
"Who knows."
Rong Xiao could believe that Contact N had planned the accident. Did Contact N know that the accident had claimed the life of the original Gu Ruochu? Why would they plan a fake car accident?
It was precisely because of that car accident that Bai Qi had been reborn as Gu Ruochu.
When Rong Xiao tried to think about it, he could not figure out a logical explanation for everything Gu Ruochu had told him.
"Ruochu, what do you plan to do now?" Rong Xiao sighed. "Everything is so complicated. It will take a lot of effort to investigate the identity of Contact N. And just as the person said, you don't have much time."
After being reborn into such a complicated life, Rong Xiao did not know if Gu Ruochu was lucky or unlucky.
"What else can I do? I can only wait for Contact N to reveal his or her identity." Gu Ruochu looked at her fingernails and narrowed her eyes. "I want to see who this Contact N is and what tricks they are up to."
"Okay." Rong Xiao glanced at her. "Don't worry. I will help you. If you give me your WeChat message history, I might be able to find out."
"Okay." Gu Ruochu felt relieved to have Rong Xiao by her side.
When she thought about Xu Yichen, Gu Ruochu felt a little empty in her heart.
Her best friend was in danger and would have to disappear for a long time.
Although she was sad, Gu Ruochu knew that it was safer for Xu Yichen to be far away from Huo Nanchen's clutches.
"Oh, right. Young Master An is still waiting for the script. Once you're done with the script, send it over."
When she heard Rong Xiao mention the script, Gu Ruochu remembered that she had not finished working on it.
"Come to my house for dinner. It's been long since you had a meal at our house? Don't you miss Granny Li's cooking?" Rong Xiao smiled at Gu Ruochu. "Look at you. You've lost a lot of weight."
