"I have to go ask him in person. Don't worry, I won't reveal our identities." After saying that, Gu Jinlan turned and left.

Si Mo asked again: "If his relationship with the organization is confirmed, will you continue to love him and regard him as more important than your life?"

"Every senior executive in the organization is a devil who eats people without leaving any bones behind."

"You should know clearly that they and we have an irreconcilable feud!"

Gu Jinlan stopped and said with his back to Si Mo, "Nothing has been confirmed yet, so don't make assumptions. But you can rest assured of one thing, I will never let my personal feelings get you involved."

Si Mo sighed, "I'm not worried that you will get us into trouble."

Gu Jinlan said, "I know, but I have to make it clear. After all, he is my husband. I will give you an answer after I ask him."

Si Mo helplessly looked at Gu Jinlan's resolute back as he left.

If one day she really implicated them, he and Qingli would never blame her at all.

Gu Jinlan returned to her room.

Looking up, it was clean and tidy, without a speck of dust, and it didn't look like it hadn't been lived in for half a year.

Si Mo must have asked someone to clean it in advance.

Gu Jinlan picked up a lighter on the table and pressed it repeatedly, looking a little anxious.

After thinking about how to ask Shi Ye, she took out her cell phone and sent him a WeChat message first.

【Aye, are you asleep? 】

It's early morning in China now, I wonder if he has fallen asleep.

After waiting anxiously for a few minutes, Shi Ye did not reply to her message and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Shi Ye usually doesn’t sleep well, and Gu Jinlan didn’t have the heart to disturb his rest, but this matter was of great importance, so she had to get to the bottom of it!

This is also the explanation she must give to Si Mo.

Finally, she couldn't help but call Shi Ye.

A mechanical female voice came from the receiver: "Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be connected at the moment..."

Gu Jinlan frowned in confusion.

Why can't the call be connected?

When she got off the plane, she sent him a WeChat message to report that she was safe. He replied immediately and told her to take good care of herself.

After hesitating for a moment, she sent another WeChat message to Butler Xue, asking: [Uncle Xue, have you rested? ]

Butler Xue usually goes to bed very late, so he might not have rested yet at this time.

As expected, Butler Xue replied: [I just lay down and was about to go to sleep. Does the young lady have any instructions? ]

Gu Jinlan quickly typed: [Is Aye asleep? I can’t get through to him.]

At the Shi family's side, Butler Xue looked at Gu Jinlan's WeChat message and did not reply for a long time.

The young master was on a flight to Country M, and his phone was in flight mode, so of course he couldn't get through.

He replied: [Madam, I don't know what's going on with the young master's phone, but he feels a little unwell tonight and has fallen asleep. I'll remind him to call you back tomorrow when he wakes up.]

After the message was sent, Butler Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the young master had informed him in advance.

He really doesn't understand the young people of today.

The young master is obviously worried about the young mistress, so why can't he just accompany her openly?

It's like doing spy work.

He was really afraid that he might accidentally let something slip and ruin the young master's business.

Gu Jinlan looked at Butler Xue's reply and felt a little worried.

During this period, she had been making sure Shi Ye took his medicine on time. He hadn't been sick for a long time.

Could it be that in order not to make her worry, he hid the illness from her now?

When they first met, she discovered that when he had an attack, he would hide it from Butler Xue and Ranran to avoid worrying them.

At this time on the international flight, Shi Ye saw Gu Jinlan's WeChat message, but he didn't dare to reply, worried that she would call him and hear that he was on the plane.

It was not until he landed and got into the car that came to pick him up that he replied to Gu Jinlan's WeChat message.

[I went to bed early last night, so I didn’t see your message. Did you get enough rest? ]

It is already early morning in Country M.

Gu Jinlan did not sleep. She waited until dawn in China for Shi Ye to wake up and contact her.

Seeing that Shi Ye replied to her WeChat, she called him immediately.

This time it finally worked.

"Lanlan, why aren't you asleep yet so late?"

Hearing Shi Ye's gentle voice, Gu Jinlan felt mixed feelings of sadness and joy.

During the long wait, she kept praying that God would not play a joke on her.

It took her a lot of effort to accept Shi Ye's feelings. If Shi Ye really had any relationship with the organization, she really didn't know what to do.

So when Si Mo asked her, she didn't answer.

"I took a nap this afternoon, but I'm not sleepy now." Gu Jinlan asked, "I heard from Uncle Xue that you were not feeling well last night. Are you sick again?"

"It's just a minor cold, I'm almost well now."

"That's good." Gu Jinlan hesitated for a moment, "Um... Aye, are you able to talk now? I... have something to ask you."

"Convenient, you say."

"Which hospital prescribed the medicine you took?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Shi Ye's puzzled voice came, "Why are you asking this suddenly? Did your friend find any problem with my medicine?"

When Gu Jinlan insisted on taking his medicine and blood and sending them abroad for Si Mo to study, he actually didn't have any hope in his heart.

He agreed only because he believed in her feelings for him and to show his trust in her.

Gu Jinlan said: "No problem, I just want to know which hospital got the medicine from?"

Shi Ye said: "That medicine was not prescribed in the hospital."

Hearing this, Gu Jinlan's breath caught and his heart sank to the bottom in an instant. The hand holding the phone unconsciously tightened its grip.

Shi Ye's voice came from the receiver again, "I was poisoned by a chronic poison back then. The hospital couldn't find the problem, and no doctor could treat me. The hospital had already issued a critical illness notice to my grandmother."

It was then that his grandmother asked him to marry Ye Jinlan for good luck.

"What happened next?" Gu Jinlan asked anxiously, "How did you get better? Did you just take that medicine?"

"Yeah." Shi Ye said, "When I first started taking the medicine, it didn't work. It got better slowly afterwards."

At this point, Shi Ye smiled and said, "So grandma has always felt that marrying you for good luck is the right thing to do."

Listening to Shi Ye's gentle laughter, Gu Jinlan's heart tightened, "But in fact, you really got better because of taking this medicine, right?"

"Yes."

"Then where did this medicine come from?" Gu Jinlan asked.

She had asked this question three times, but Shi Ye never answered the key point, which made her feel more and more uneasy.

Is everything really as Si Mo speculated?

Could it be that Shi Ye is also the devil who eats people without leaving any bones?
