Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 653 - 646: Schemes (Part 1)

After learning about Wu Chengzu’s suicide attempt, Gao Sheng immediately applied to higher authorities to get approval for Wu Chengzu to receive medical treatment outside.

Before Wu Chengzu faces legal judgment, Gao Sheng will not allow him to end his life this way.

When Wu Chengzu was sent to the hospital, he had temporarily lost his breath. After the doctors rescued him, his various vital signs gradually began to recover.

At this point, everyone had to admire Wu Chengzu; he truly was a formidable character. Not only was he ruthless to others, but he could also be so harsh on himself.

Under such tight and high-level surveillance in the detention center, Wu Chengzu couldn’t find any sharp objects to commit suicide, so he used his own nails to gouge a cut on his neck and had bruises on his forehead from hitting the wall.

When Xiao Feng saw Wu Chengzu bleeding endlessly, his heart filled with shock; it was simply too cruel.

Wu Chengzu’s life was considered saved by the doctors, and the police consulted the doctors on when Wu Chengzu could be discharged.

The doctors’ answer was to observe him for three days, and if no other symptoms appeared, he could return to the detention center for rehabilitation.

Everyone knew Wu Chengzu was a serious criminal, and the hospital didn’t want to keep him.

Wu Chengzu’s ward was heavily guarded from inside out, and given his weakened state, the police were not worried about him attempting to escape.

However, his motivation for suicide remained unclear, as he did not speak about it when asked. Gao Sheng thought perhaps it was the incident of Yao Zhiqing absconding with funds that provoked him, leading to suicidal thoughts. But soon, Gao Sheng dismissed this idea. To date, Wu Chengzu had not seen Wu Jingjing, and without ensuring his daughter’s safety, he wouldn’t easily end his life.

On one side, Gao Sheng was troubled due to Wu Chengzu’s suicide attempt.

On the other side, Bai Yiran was distressed because Yao Zhiqing’s company was being investigated and sealed, which directly led to the employees entirely losing their jobs.

Knowing Bai Yiran’s special identity, many colleagues started calling her, hoping she could help arrange entry into Huamei International or use her connections to find other jobs.

For a while, Bai Yiran became a job referral agent.

However, she really couldn’t easily open the door to Huamei International. She could only arrange entry for those she deemed competent, and Brother Zhou was one of them.

As for the other colleagues, Bai Yiran didn’t plan to help; she really couldn’t manage it all. She wasn’t their mother, and just because she had this identity doesn’t mean she had the obligation.

At home, Bai Yiran was changing clothes for Xiao Xi when her phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, it was Brother Zhou; without thinking, she answered, "Brother Zhou, what’s up?"

"Yiran, are you free now? I’d like to take you out for dinner to thank you for finding me a job."

Bai Yiran smiled, "No need, you’ve taken good care of me before."

"It’s different; anyway, just come out."

Brother Zhou’s attitude was firm, and Bai Yiran couldn’t refuse. Thinking it had been a while since she’d seen him, she agreed.

Truthfully, she was also bored staying at home, changed her clothes, and after telling Sister Liu, left the house.

Arriving at the agreed place with Brother Zhou, since she had already eaten lunch, Bai Yiran picked a café, thinking they could just drink and chat.

However, today Brother Zhou seemed a bit unusual, always distracted, his legs trembling nonstop.

Bai Yiran looked at him and laughed, "Brother Zhou, what’s going on? Why are your legs shaking? Do you need to use the bathroom?"

She thought Brother Zhou might be in urgent need, or else why would someone who usually doesn’t shake his legs keep doing so?

Brother Zhou froze, his legs immediately stopped trembling, took a sip of coffee, and said, "Yiran, if I did something that let you down, please forgive me. I was certainly forced."

Bai Yiran was perplexed by Brother Zhou’s words, "Let me down? What could you possibly do that would let me down?"

Brother Zhou smiled awkwardly, "Nothing..." eyes turning toward the window, his legs unconsciously starting to shake again.
