In the evening, Xia Ling was released.
Her hair, which had been cut short and was drenched all over, was absorbed in the nutrient solution and grew back again.
The girl's black combat uniform was cut open, revealing her fair and wet skin. Her wet hair stuck to her body like a beautiful mermaid.
Gu Li helped her dry her body before he carried her to the operating table.
"Gu Li, I'm scared." The girl's crow-like eyelashes trembled as she gently pulled Gu Li's pinky.
"Gu Li, I'll be good from now on. I won't run around anymore. Please let me go, okay?"
The girl's fair face was filled with fear, and her pair of black jade-like eyes were pleading.
"Ling? You... Do you think I'll believe you? Your reputation has already gone bankrupt," Gu Li said as he looked at her.
He fixed Xia Ling on the operating table.
"Host, what should we do? Why don't we go all out? I'll take you away," Hai Hai said anxiously.
Xia Ling was calm at the end of the matter.
"There's no need!"
She looked quietly at Gu Li beside her.
The young man's face was pale. He put on his white coat and sterilized gloves, then picked up the scalpel.
...
Gu Li was anesthetized. When Xia Ling woke up, she realized that her nerves had been destroyed. In fact, it was not as scary as she had imagined.
Perhaps her begging to Gu Li had worked, so Gu Li had held back.
He had retained her basic abilities, but her body had become very weak. She would pant heavily after a few steps.
"Ling, do you hate me?" Gu Li supported her and slowly moved around in the medical room.
"No." A smile appeared on the young girl's pale face.
After walking a few steps, her forehead was covered in sweat. The young girl looked at him.
"Gu Li is doing this for my own good. Why would I hate you?"
Gu Li's eyes darkened.
"Perhaps it's not bad to experience another life." Xia Ling smiled again.
Looking at her smile, Gu Li felt unreal.
He was prepared to hate her, to die, and to break up with her. Suddenly, she told him, "It's not bad to experience another life."
He reached out and hugged the young girl tightly.
Gu Li's face was buried in the girl's neck. "Ling, if you lie to me, then you'll lie for the rest of your life."
He did not believe her words, but he was greedy for her sudden warmth.
The young man said in a low voice, "I'll guard you well for the rest of my life."
She smiled and looked at the young man who was hugging her. Xia Ling's lips curled up. "Alright, then Gu Li must not let go."

Gu Li handed over a portion of the neurotoxin technology, and the boss' secret pursuit came to an end once again.
The young man was still the respected Professor Gu, but after the calm situation was broken, it was no longer as calm as before.
The woman had been found in her home.
The guards next to the boss had lost most of their forces when they were chasing Gu Li, and now they were also greatly changed.
After that, Gu Li began to be assassinated by a mysterious force.
This force had probably infiltrated when Gu Li was disrupting country A, and it was probably a famous international assassin organization.
Assassinations were impossible to guard against.
Even if Gu Li had modified the heart, he had still narrowly escaped death several times.
Because of the existence of these assassins, Gu Li had hidden Xia Ling even more tightly.
Originally, he had wanted to bring her back to the Gu family, but the security in the medical room was even more perfect. It was a fort that Gu Li had built for many years.
