The two in the hospital room exchanged a glance, and Song Fan nodded, prompting Gu Chen to say, “Come in.”
“You’re awake? That’s great!” Charlie still wore his usual smile, with a hint of concern on his face. “You have no idea how worried I’ve been these past few days. Fortunately, you’re okay. That’s great.”
Taking a cue from Song Ting, Song Fan responded, “Luckily, I have good luck.”
Gu Chen chuckled beside her, while Charlie remained somewhat puzzled. However, he joined in, saying, “Yes, that’s right. You indeed are the goddess of luck.”
In his mind, she was indeed fortunate in certain aspects.
“Are you here to bring me Snow Red Flower?” Song Fan wasn’t being polite to him. Both were intelligent people, and there was no need for pretense.
“I believe you also know about Jason being unconscious,” Charlie’s smile couldn’t be contained, and there was even a touch of anticipation on his face. “Song Fan, you’re truly a genius. You managed to poison him without letting him die.”
“It’s time to congratulate you on taking over your second brother’s position,” Gu Chen coldly remarked from the side.
However, Charlie shook his head somewhat regretfully. “No, Brown Group isn’t as simple as you imagine, and Jason is also not ordinary.”
“His death doesn’t benefit me,” Charlie directly sat on Song Fan’s bed, looking at her with anticipation. “I need him to wake up occasionally. Can you do that, right?”
Thinking about Song Fan’s confident demeanor just now, Gu Chen understood her intention. No wonder she was sure that Charlie would come.
“Of course, after all, I formulated the poison.” Song Fan nodded confidently. “So, where is Snow Red Flower?”
“Snow Red Flower and Jason’s research files are together, and there’s a formula for the new drug inside the safe,” Charlie seemed troubled. “But if the password is entered incorrectly once, there will be a bang inside!”
He made an exaggerated explosion gesture. “There’s a small bomb inside. I don’t know what he was thinking. Isn’t he afraid of blowing himself up?”
Song Fan remained silent. This was her bargaining chip. Jason was unconscious, and perhaps she was the only one in the world who knew the password.
Brown Group had always monopolized the market for anti-tumor drugs, and this part had always been Jason’s responsibility. Song Fan admitted that he was indeed a genius, one of the few who continually made breakthroughs in this field.
The profits in this field were unimaginable and could be said to be one of the main sources of funds for Brown Group, and it was clean money.
This life-saving medicine was more lucrative than drugs.
Seeing Song Fan not speaking, Charlie helplessly said, “I know you don’t trust me. But if you open the safe, you get Snow Red Flower, and I get the formula. Isn’t that a win-win?”
He casually glanced at Gu Chen and then said, “I’m sure you haven’t seen Mr. Gu’s blood test report this time, right? His time is running out.”
Song Fan clenched her fist under the blanket. She didn’t even look at Gu Chen. She knew that Charlie must be confident to say such things.
Coldly, she asked, “Do you want to continue cooperating?”
“Of course!” Charlie stood up, adjusted his clothes, and said, “But there are some matters in Brown Group that need my attention lately, and you also need to rest. So, how about we contact each other again in a week?”
Jason was unconscious, but the operation of Brown Group couldn’t stop. This was the best time to take over full control, and Charlie wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
Before leaving, he added, “The jewelry brand project can continue. After all, you still need this project to enter the Song Corporation. I will fully cooperate with you.”
It was only after Charlie left that Gu Chen spoke, “Don’t believe him. I’m fine.”
Song Fan didn’t say anything. She didn’t even need to see the report to know that Gu Chen’s condition was not good at all.
She reached out to pulse him, and it seemed that during this period, Gu Chen’s urgency had stirred up the dormant poison in his body.
Knowing she was in a bad mood, Gu Chen also didn’t say anything. He just gently held her hand.
After a while, Song Fan said, “During the time I lost my memory, I should have known Jason, and the relationship is not shallow.”
She furrowed her brows lightly, obviously unable to recall certain things.
“But no matter what relationship I have with him, I will save you. So, I must get Snow Red Flower.” She tightened her grip on Gu Chen’s hand. “Before that, I will make Jason wake up briefly. On the other hand, you need to rest well and recover. Understand?”
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Gu Chen’s mouth, and he finally uttered a word, “Okay.”
