"Muzhi, do you have a knife?"

The bottom of Lin Ran's eyes were bright red. Even the mist couldn't cover them.

"Xiao Ran, what do you want?"

Xu Muzhi grabbed the chopsticks in her hand and threw them on the table.

"I'm going to use a knife to stab this damned thing out …"

Lin Ran shouted angrily. Her voice was trembling violently.

"Xiao Ran, calm down."

Xu Muzhi grabbed her arm with both of his hands. He lowered his eyebrows and had a complicated look in his eyes.

"Muzhi, I'm begging you, help me save Ye Weilan and get her to give me the antidote, okay?"

Lin Ran burst into tears.

Something was crawling on his back.

Sweat soaked her clothes.

Tears ran down the corners of his mouth. It was salty.

"Xiao Ran, don't worry. I'll definitely help you get the antidote. Don't cry, okay? "

Looking at Lin Ran's sorrowful face, Xu Muzhi's heart tightened and his heart ached. He wrapped his arms around her and gently wiped her face with a tissue.

Ring, ring, ring.

Xu Muzhi's phone suddenly rang.

"Xiao Ran, let me answer a call …"

"…"

Lin Ran remained silent. Clenching her fists tightly, she allowed the tissue to pierce into her palm. He tried to use that heart-wrenching pain to 'expel' the fear in his heart.

Xu Muzhi took out his phone, took a glance at it, then his expression changed slightly as he stood up.

Lowering her eyes, she lightly patted Lin Ran's shoulder.

Lin Ran sniffed and raised her head to look at him. The redness in his eyes was particularly glaring.

"…"

Xu Muzhi pursed his lips, turned around and walked into the washroom. He then locked the door and turned on the tap. Even if someone eavesdropped, they could only hear the sound of flowing water.

He narrowed his eyes and switched on the screen. When he spoke, his voice was full of respect.

"Young Master …"

"Xu Muzhi, you're playing with fire, do you know?"

Ye Xiaochen's first sentence was a furious reprimand.

"Young Master, I truly love Xiao Ran …"

Xu Muzhi's heart tightened and his forehead tightened. The warmth on his handsome face faded quite a bit.

"Really?!"

Ye Xiaochen sneered. He looked down and said coldly.

"Xu Muzhi, is something wrong with your brain?!" Don't you know what kind of person Lin Ran is? "

"Young Master, in the eyes of others, Xiao Ran's past is a bit unbearable, but that is all in the past. I believe that she will change it in the future. "Furthermore, she has no one to rely on right now …"

Xu Muzhi turned around with his back facing the azure stone counter. His back was pressed against the edge of the azure stone counter. He looked straight ahead.

"Xu Muzhi, you pity her?!"

Ye Xiaochen said coldly.

"Yes, yes, no …"

Xu Muzhi's face tightened and the corner of his mouth slightly twitched.

"Xu Muzhi, if you insist on going with her, then I'll take back everything that happened to you."

Ye Xiaochen's tone was very strict, and there was also a strong pressure within the severity.

"Young Master …"

Xu Muzhi was stunned for a moment. His expression changed and a faint chill went down his spine.

The water in the tap was still splashing down his back from time to time.

The cold pierced his bones.

The pressure in the washroom suddenly became very low.

A trace of panic flashed through his heart, calm and reserved.

It was not easy for him to come this far.

How could he not know what Ye Xiaochen's words meant?

Career and love.

How to choose?

After being silent for two minutes, Ye Xiaochen said coldly.

"If you change your mind, I can remove the Soul Devouring Parasite from Lin Ran's body."

"Young Master …"

Xu Muzhi's back straightened and his heart tightened.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the door. Although the door was closed, he could still 'see' Lin Ran's terrified, flustered, and pained face.

"Xu Muzhi, call me when you're done."

Ye Xiaochen paused for a moment and then continued.

"Do your best."

Du du du...

The cold voice of a person hanging up rang in his ears.

Xu Muzhi slowly took his phone away from his ear. His face turned pale and his warm face turned desolate.

His hand slowly hung down.

The phone almost fell off his hand. He tightened his palm and placed it in his pocket.

Taking two steps back, he leaned forward and placed both hands on the edge of the azure stone counter.

The water continued to flow down.

A lot of water splashed onto the azure stone platform.

Glimmers danced in Xu Muzhi's eyes as he struggled internally.

Lin Ran was the only woman he wanted to be with. He wanted to protect her, to protect her. I wanted to take her out of the past and into a new life.

Yet …

Heaven's will messed with people.

He had heard of how cruel the Soul Devouring Gu was.

It had only been a few days, but Lin Ran was already on the verge of breaking down. If she was left alone, she probably wouldn't last more than a few days.

Life was more important than anything else.

He wanted her alive.

He poured a handful of cold water on his face, trying to cool himself down.

A moment later.

He slowly raised his head and turned off the tap.

The air suddenly became silent.

His breathing could clearly be heard.

He took a tissue and wiped his hands before putting it into his pants pocket. His fingers touched the phone as if it was on fire.

He took a few deep breaths.

"Young Master …"

He called Ye Xiaochen.

"Yes."

Ye Xiaochen answered coldly.

A Zuo pushed open the door and was just about to speak, but seeing that, he left again.

"Young Master, I agree to leave Lin Ran …"

After Xu Muzhi said this, he felt his internal organs were ripped apart, and the pain was so intense that he almost couldn't hold on anymore.

Out of the corner of his eye, the coldness of his heart slid past him.2

"Mm …"

Ye Xiaochen's expression was grave and stern. His pretty lips were pursed into a smile of killing intent. The light in his eyes was sinister and merciless.

From Xu Muzhi's tone of voice, it was obvious that he had really fallen in love with Lin Ran.

He objected to their being together, not only because Lin Ran couldn't live well, but also because she had a short marriage with Lu Hengyuan. More importantly, she was Xiao Bilan's daughter.

In her body flowed the sinful blood of the 'Heavenly Fox' traitor.

No matter what, he would not allow a person he had carefully nurtured to be destroyed by someone like this.

"Young Master, how about this first?"

Xu Muzhi said in a low voice, his tone was filled with loneliness and pain.

"Yes."

From the start of the call, Ye Xiaochen didn't say a single word and only answered coldly.

Xu Muzhi took a tissue and wiped off the water on his face. After adjusting his mood, he tidied up his clothes and opened the door to the washroom.

Looking over.

He was shocked.

The small private room was already empty.

"Xiao Ran …"

he cried out urgently. He then looked around, only to find nothing.

Xu Muzhi's heartbeat quickened as he hurriedly dialed Lin Ran's cell phone, but no one answered.

He quickly walked out of the private room and went to the cashier's desk. A waiter told him that Lin Ran had left the restaurant five minutes ago.

He thanked her and hurried downstairs.

The phone in his hand kept calling Lin Ran.

Du du du...

When it reached his ears, it was always an infinitely long, unanswered sound.

He rushed to the car, opened the door, and got in.

Just as he was about to leave, his phone suddenly connected. A middle-aged man's voice could be heard.
