An Kexin laughed heartily, "This guy has been pestering dad for a while now, saying he wants a sports car for his eighteenth birthday. Dad hasn't agreed to it yet."

"Well, now you're nice, giving me this sports car is just like giving it to her, no difference."

"With my things, she's never shy. Whatever she wants, she just says it and takes it."

Lin Jie was really annoyed.

He couldn't believe he'd been tricked by this little brat.

An Kexin waved her hand in front of the camera, smiling as she said, "But, you know, I really do love this surprise you gave me."

"Sports cars, every girl loves them, and I'm no exception."

"I used to think about maintaining a mature and stable image, always driving a sedan or SUV."

"But now, with you having my back, I don't have to worry about image anymore. I can drive the sports car freely to and from work and when meeting clients."

Hearing this, Lin Jie happily said, "If you really like it, then that's great!"

Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Lin Jie, holding his phone, went to the door, and through the peephole, saw it was Guan Muhua outside.

He opened the door and asked, "What's up?"

Guan Muhua walked into the room and looked around at the setup, saying, "The rooms are a bit far apart, so if there's any incident, it's hard to handle. So Qin Gang and I discussed it, and we decided I would come over to keep you company."

Lin Jie looked at the big bed in the room, displeased, and said, "I'm not used to sleeping in the same bed with a guy!"

Guan Muhua went over to the wardrobe, opened it, and took out a spare bedspread, saying, "Don't worry about that, I'll sleep on the floor."

"When I was in the army, I slept in the wilderness; this is a very comfortable environment."

Lin Jie oh-ed and then asked, "Do you snore? I might have surgery tomorrow, so tonight's rest can't be affected!"

Guan Muhua chuckled and said, "You know why it's me and not Qin Gang who came over?"

"It's because he snores, and I don't!"

Just then, An Kexin's voice came from Lin Jie's phone, "With Guan Muhua around, I don't have to worry about you calling for special services."

"Ah Jie, get a good rest!"

"Guan Muhua, take good care of Ah Jie!"

Lin Jie also made a video call to Lin Miao, assuring her that he would return by Wednesday night at the latest, before starting to sleep.

Lin Jie, who couldn't fall asleep for a while, asked, "Guan Muhua, tell me about yourself?"

"I don't know much about you."

After waiting for a while, Guan Muhua's voice finally sounded, "Me? I'm very simple."

"I was a troublemaker in middle school. After graduating high school and not getting into college, my family sent me to the army."

"I served six years in the army, and after retiring, through an introduction, I started working at Young Master Ye's company, and have been there ever since."

This introduction was really brief.

Lin Jie understood it was because Guan Muhua didn't want to say much more.

He didn't ask further and tried to sleep...

Half-asleep, Lin Jie was awakened by a rapid knocking sound.

In the faint hallway light, he saw Guan Muhua roll up from the floor and swiftly step behind the door.

The knocking continued relentlessly, accompanied by an urgent voice.

"Dr. Lin, it's me, Zhou Maocang."

Guan Muhua peeked outside through the peephole and then nodded lightly at Lin Jie, indicating it was indeed Zhou Maocang outside.

Zhou Maocang's voice continued, "Academician Mou worked until late tonight and accidentally fell due to exhaustion, showing signs of cerebral edema."

"To prevent any accident, please come to the hospital to take a look at him."

"Dr. Lin, are you awake?"

Hearing the news, Lin Jie hurriedly got off the bed and shouted, "Open the door!"

As Lin Jie approached the door, Guan Muhua also unlocked the safety chain and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Lin Jie saw Zhou Maocang holding a small canister in each hand, one pointed at him, the other at Guan Muhua...

Soon after, a mist and chill hit him in the face...

"This is..."

Lin Jie just realized what it was when darkness overcame him, and he unconsciously fell backward...
