This kind of identity would require considerable effort to fake.
He had been instructing his subordinates to study it.
Unfortunately, so far, they hadn’t made any headway.
"This matter is very important, but so is Doctor Ji’s situation." He couldn’t feel at ease knowing Ji Yu was on her own here.
Ji Yu knew that remaining like this would easily arouse suspicion, so she simply contacted Gu Qixiao, instructing him to show so signs of being anxious and, preferably, to co to look for her as soon as possible.
This might dispel the doubts lingering in their minds.
Gu Qixiao was indeed worried when he got the news and naturally followed Ji Yu’s suggestions.
Sure enough, when Li Yu saw Gu Qixiao coming to demand her return, his deanor visibly relaxed. "Mr. Gu, what you’re suggesting isn’t likely to work for now. After all, only Doctor Ji possesses this level of skill."
Li Yu appreciated Ji Yu’s abilities, but unfortunately, they were not on the sa path.
He thought Ji Yu was excellent in every way, but sotis absurdly stubborn, as if certain things simply couldn’t be negotiated.
"You previously said that once this matter is resolved, Yu could go back, but you’ve gone back on your word." His cold gaze locked onto them, clearly displeased with the situation.
"You can’t bla us for this; it’s still because Doctor Ji’s skills haven’t reached the level where results can be expedited. We still need another month to wait."
He knew Ji Yu was already doing her best, but so problems couldn’t be solved with re words.
"I want to see Yu." He looked visibly uneasy about Ji Yu’s situation, though his concern for her was also genuine.
"eting her isn’t possible for now. Doctor Ji should’ve already told you that her task must be carried out with utmost confidentiality." He wasn’t going to relent, mainly because the stakes of this operation were too high to risk exposure.
This plan of theirs was critical.
"Then how do I know you haven’t done sothing to Yu?" He feigned anger, but his worry appeared authentic.
At this point, Li Yu no longer saw Ji Yu as a potential problem. "This is the agreent we made. Mr. Gu, you should follow the rules properly now. Making things difficult won’t harm Doctor Ji, but let’s avoid unnecessary complications."
They acted as if they were entirely innocent.
To the uninford, they might even seem like decent people.
After going back and forth for a long ti, Gu Qixiao finally decided to leave.
Before departing, he didn’t forget to warn Li Yu, "If anything happens to Yu, I won’t let you off."
His tone was icy, making it clear he didn’t want Ji Yu to stay here.
"Rest assured, I would feel personally accountable if anything happened to Doctor Ji. After all, she has helped with many things in the past."
Li Yu still held Ji Yu in high regard and hadn’t forgotten their prior dealings.
In hindsight, those events now seed rather absurd.
Hearing this, Gu Qixiao said nothing more and walked out of the base.
Once in the car, he began considering whether he should rescue Ji Yu first before dealing with anything else. The people here were sinister, clearly up to no good. Prolonging negotiations with them would only waste ti.
Unfortunately, with no updates from Ji Yu, he could only wait for now.
anwhile, Ji Yu was also deliberating whether to make a move. After all, the man in question was indeed trouble.
As for Li Yu, he believed his plan was flawless. Even if Ji Yu wanted to cause disruptions, she’d need the capability to pull it off.
In the following days, every ti Li Yu saw Ji Yu, he greeted her with a cheerful smile, leaving her suspicious that he might have been plotting sothing secretly.
"If you have sothing to say, just say it. Why act so unsettlingly?"
He was the type of person who could be described as a scheming wolf in sheep’s clothing.
No matter the situation, he always seed to wear that sa smiling face.
What lay in his heart, only he knew.
"I just wanted to see you. Doctor Ji, you still recall the first ti we t, don’t you?"
As he spoke, a hint of nostalgia seed to surface.
"Nothing worth rembering. I’ve forgotten most of the details, and besides, you did pay back then."
She still had so vague recollections, though.
"You’re right. If you truly rembered, it wouldn’t make sense that you didn’t recognize right away. But with you, it’s different for —I rember you vividly."
They’d discussed this matter several tis before.
But Ji Yu had no real interest in revisiting those mories.
"The reason you rember must be because I operated on your face. But out of everyone I’ve operated on, the list is too long for to rember each one."
Even this man likely left only a faint impression at best.
His expression indicated he’d easily picked up on Ji Yu’s subtext.
"You really are adorable." But this kind of "adorable" carried an unsettling undertone.
"Ji Yu, you should seriously consider . I don’t care about your child’s situation."
Ji Yu raised her brows, unable to hold back her sarcasm. "You’re really sothing. What, do you enjoy playing the fool for yourself now?" The absurdity of soone liking a situation like this was astonishing.
"Others wouldn’t qualify, but you do."
He had unwavering confidence in Ji Yu’s competence. Nobody else would even stand a chance.
Ji Yu finally understood. From the beginning, he’d been upfront about his goals, showing no intention of forming any emotional connection—likely only seeking to use her.
"Your honesty is admirable." But their rapport was far from friendly.
"I already have soone I want to be with for the rest of my life, and my child already has a father. Why would I follow whatever you say?" Their actions would inevitably be exposed sooner or later.
While their values clashed, Ji Yu’s abilities were undeniably enticing.
"Ji Yu, you haven’t yet discovered the fun that’s out there. Once you’re with , you’ll realize there’s so much more to this world than just romantic entanglents."
There were plenty of things that could bring joy.
It was very simple for him to experience that for himself.
"By staying with , you’ll experience countless things you’ve never encountered before. Isn’t that enough for you?"
Ji Yu frowned. "Sorry, I don’t have such plans for now."
For her, turning to the dark side would be effortless, but she simply had no interest.
"I don’t trust people so easily. The things you’re saying all sound incredibly boring to ."
To Ji Yu, these matters were trivial.
Instead of feeling deterred, he looked at Ji Yu with remarkable patience. "I know what you’re thinking. But there’s no need to rush. Everyone has their own perspective on these things. I believe you’ll understand sooner or later."
These matters were simply a matter of timing.
Ji Yu had no intention of continuing the conversation with him.
"Thanks for your kindness, but I’d rather not continue this topic. You can leave now."
