Chapter 237 The Beautiful Doctor's Love and Career (89 words)
He feared that his touch would cause Gu Yichen's fragile world to collapse completely, so he could only whisper:
"Yichen, let's not think about these things for now, okay?"
"You should rest well first; we'll all stay here with you."
The voice was gentle, filled with concern and heartache, trying to warm Gu Yichen's cold heart.
Gu Yichen still did not react.
He stood there quietly, staring blankly ahead.
He was frozen in the cracks of time, unable to extricate himself from his own world of pain.
Everything around him was irrelevant; only the recurring question echoed in the silent corridor, piercing the hearts of everyone present.
Yun Suisi took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision, and slowly said:
"I think we need to go and confirm something with Yun Rancang."
Perhaps this will bring us one step closer to the truth and give Mu Shang an explanation.
Gu Yichen stood there, his empty eyes heartbreaking.
After a moment, he parted his lips slightly and uttered two words softly:
"Let's go."
The sound was so soft it was almost inaudible, yet it was exceptionally clear in the quiet corridor.
Before anyone else could react, Gu Yichen had already slowly taken a step.
His steps were slow and heavy, each step as if he had used up all his strength, his body swaying slightly, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.
But there was an indescribable persistence in his eyes.
Jun Lique looked at Gu Yichen's slender back, then at Yun Suisi, his face full of doubt and worry. He opened his mouth and asked:
"…this…"
That single word contained so much uncertainty and concern for Gu Yichen.
He was worried about whether Gu Yichen could withstand the ordeal along the way, and he didn't understand what Yun Suisi was trying to prove.
Yun Suisi raised his hand and rubbed his temples, trying to relieve his tense nerves.
He glanced at Jun Lique, and in a low but authoritative tone, gave the order:
"Li Que, go and call Ye Lengfeng over as well. Let's face this together."
After all, some things, from the moment they happen, are destined to be inescapable for any of us.
Everyone should know that what can't be avoided will eventually have to be faced.
Jun Sui nodded slightly, responded, and then turned and walked away quickly, his figure disappearing at the end of the corridor.
Yun Suisi and Jun Sui watched Gu Yichen's retreating figure and quickly followed after him.
They followed behind Gu Yichen in silence.
Jun Sui walked quickly and soon returned with Ye Lengfeng.
Ye Lengfeng looked solemn, clearly having already learned the general situation from Jun Sui.
He glanced at Gu Yichen walking ahead, then at Yun Suisi, and without asking any questions, silently joined the somber procession.
Stepping outside, the sunlight was blinding but had no warmth whatsoever, falling on them as if a layer of cold frost were on them.
Gu Yichen continued walking mechanically, completely oblivious to everything around him.
Ye Lengfeng quickened his pace to walk alongside Gu Yichen. He turned his head to look at Gu Yichen's empty profile and said softly:
"Yichen, no matter what, we're here for you."
Gu Yichen did not respond, as if he had not heard at all.
But Ye Lengfeng continued talking to himself, as if he were talking to Gu Yichen, or as if he were encouraging himself.
Finally, they arrived at Yun Rancang's residence.
As the knocking sound echoed slowly in the air, a soft footstep came from inside, and then the door slowly opened.
Yun Rancang's figure appeared at the doorway, and the light shining through the room outlined her silhouette.
She first subconsciously looked up, and when she saw the group of people standing at the door, a fleeting, almost imperceptible look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
That surprise was fleeting in her eyes, so quick that it was almost imperceptible.
She quickly adjusted her expression and put on that enigmatic smile again.
That smile seemed to be fixed on her face from beginning to end, without changing at all.
She gracefully turned to the side, making a "please" gesture, and said softly:
"Such busy people actually had time to come see me? That's incredible."
Her tone carried a hint of teasing.
But beneath that banter, there seemed to be other emotions hidden, making it hard to fathom.
Her gaze swept across everyone's faces, as if trying to discern the purpose of their trip.
Jun Li Que stood there quietly, his face seemingly covered by a layer of frost, showing no emotion whatsoever.
His eyes were cold as he stared directly at Yun Rancang, and he said, word by word:
"You seem happy?"
The voice was deep and cold, as if squeezed out from between his teeth, each word carrying a strong sense of interrogation.
Yun Rancang was slightly taken aback, a look of doubt appearing on his face. He looked at Jun Lique, puzzled, and asked in return:
"Of course, isn't that obvious?"
The mission was successfully completed, and I achieved the goal I had been longing for. Shouldn't I be happy?
And you guys, mission accomplished, shouldn't you be happy?
Her eyes held a hint of composure, as if she were stating something perfectly normal.
However, the slight upturn of her lips and the somewhat provocative tone suggested that her words contained a deeper meaning.
It seems that behind this tragic event, she harbors a secret sense of triumph.
Suddenly, the room fell silent, a silence as heavy as lead, making it almost impossible to breathe.
Jun Sui's chest heaved violently, his eyes were bloodshot with anger, and he almost laughed out of rage.
The laughter squeezed out of his throat, tinged with a hint of shrillness and mockery:
"What a wonderful word 'happy'!"
I never expected that you, who usually seem so sophisticated and unfathomable, could so readily and without batting an eye talk about your 'great achievements' in front of us.
Look at us, this bunch of poor wretches, fighting tooth and nail for this mission, and in the end even our comrades were killed.
Now they are struggling in this endless abyss of pain.
And what about you?
Yet here they are, feeling perfectly at ease, talking about achieving our goals, and even asking us if we're happy?
You've really broadened my horizons! It's a shame your acting skills aren't in a theatrical troupe!
His voice grew louder and louder until it was almost a roar, and the veins on his neck bulged with rage.
His hands were clenched into fists, as if he was trying his best to restrain the urge to rush forward.
Jun Sui took a deep breath, as if trying to swallow his anger and calm himself down.
But his uncontrollably trembling body, like a withered leaf in the wind, revealed the turmoil in his heart.
He continued:
"how?
Are you still stuck in your so-called perfect plan and unable to break free?
You've gone to extreme lengths to achieve your ulterior motives!
Jun Sui's voice suddenly rose, and his roar echoed throughout the room.
"You've resorted to any means necessary; what do you consider human life to be?"
Did it become a stepping stone for your success?
How could you bring yourself to use human lives to satisfy your own selfish desires?
Doesn't your conscience hurt?
Yun Suisi continued the conversation:
"You're wrong. How could someone who can do something so heinous possibly have a conscience?"
Someone like her probably doesn't even know what a heart is!
Yun Suisi's words were like a heavy hammer, striking the room filled with anger and sorrow, and also striking the hearts of everyone present.
