Various Places

"She's fine now, I would need to run through some test to get a better understanding of the poison. Make sure she does not get out of the bed for the next few days, she needs ample of rest." Leng Yi said in a calm tone.

The people at the room all nodded, in understanding. As Gu Chen had been in the room for a good amount of time, the doctor from H Hospital left as Leng Yi came. Leaving the doctor to be fuming in anger.

"Third, follow me.." Leng Yi instructed before leaving the room, he had on a serious looked. Gu Chen who was sitting beside the unconscious Song Yu, got up and left with Leng Yi. Leaving, Qiao Lin and Tang Ai to take care of Song Yu.

In the study room,

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen asked in a worried tone, he sat down on the couch waiting for Leng Yi to reply him.

"At the looks of it, your woman is not in a good condition. In fact, it is even worser.." Leng Yi paused what he was saying as he saw the threatening looked from Gu Chen.

"Let me finished what I have to say..." Leng Yi shook his head at the worried man, he slowly walked towards the couched and sat down opposite of Gu Chen.

"The poison is not a simple one, I heard from Miss Tang that Miss Song has this poison in her body since she was young. But from the looks of it, it does not look as simple as it seems. I have seen a similar case before, this type of poison is stimulated by bloodline.

It could be dire if it is not under control, i think it have to be who she had met the pass few days that triggered the seemingly harmless poison." Leng Yi explained.

Gu Chen faced turned darker every minute Leng Yi speaks, "Do you have the cure?"

"Not at the moment, I have to run through test and also look through her background and family to know more about her condition and to make a cure." Leng Yi replied truthfully.

"Worse comes to worse what will happen?" Gu Chen asked, as he wanted to prepare himself for the worse.

"Don't worry, the poison is strong and dangerous but she will not die. I myself do not know why, but this certain poison is not something that will kill her, to put it simply. It is in her body seemingly to control her or even a curse. She will experience excruciating pain, or even feel the urge to.....but as long as you pay extra attention to it, there would not be any major problem."

Gu Chen had on a complicated looked, "Relax, you looked deathly.." Leng Yi tried to calm Gu Chen down.

"Ye Xun had already send me a data on where had she gone and who had she met this pass few days. I'll look into it, you will only need to come out with a cure as soon as possible.." Gu Chen informed.

Leng Yi nodded his head, as he continued to access Gu Chen. It had been long since he saw such an expression from him. He did not know whether was it a good sign or not, "Hey, are you serious.."

"I know what you want to ask, I know what I am doing." Gu Chen interrupted Leng Yi from speaking.

Leng Yi scoffed after hearing what he said, "You said you know?...I do not know what you are thinking nor do I want to interfere with your choices and decision. But, you are harming yourself and also her."

Gu Chen just smiled in reply, he lean against the couch as he use his arm and cover his eyes. "You know, I rather not live if she is not there. She gives me warmth in my heart, and I do not hate having a weakness. She is my strength and weakness, I will not let her get hurt." there was a sense of longing and helplessness in his tone.

"Third, you are really hopeless."

"I know, but what can I do. She is my only one, if she dies....then I will also die with her." Gu Chen declared.

Leng Yi got more and more concerned by what Gu Chen said, before hearing what he said. He believed that Gu Chen had some interest in her, and that the feelings were just there and nothing more.

After hearing what Gu Chen said, Leng Yi knew that Gu Chen had become hoplelessly in love. He had fallen into the curse of love, nothing could pull him out of it. "You are the the boss of..."

"Alright let's not talk about it anymore, I trust my judgement. She is not as simple as you think, she may seem like she is weak but she is nothing close to weak. If you say that she will put me in danger, then you are wrong. I think is both..." Gu Chen replied before standing up to leave, but before he left the room. Leng Yi stopped him.

"Are you sure about it, I just hope that you would not put yourself in danger. I am happy that you found someone you love but at the same time hope that you do not put your guard down." Leng Yi warned.

Gu Chen did not turned back as he said, "I may need to guard around my enemies but in front of her, it is not needed." he left after saying his piece.

Inside the study room, Leng Yi did not know what to do about it. All he can do was to protect both of them, and hurry to make the cure.

In the car on the way to a famous chinese restaurant,

Gu Chen looked into the report given to him seriously, the report stated that she had met a series of business partners. But one of the name made Gu Chen alert, he closed the report and looked up. He took out his phone and typed a series of numbers before waiting for the call to get through.

"Sir?"

"Tightened the security around Song Yu, get the two brothers over to be beside her at all time. Look into the Evans." Gu Chen instructed before hanging up.

"Boss, you contacted the HQ?" Ye Xun asked in surprised.

"En" Gu Chen replied in a short sentence before he closed his eyes to take a break.
