"Even the person who made the poison couldn't cure it! Are you telling me that your people are more powerful than the person who made the poison?" Gong Mochen said as he walked past Li Ang.
"Who said that the person who made the poison could cure it? Haven't you heard of 'His Highness Yu'? He is the exclusive disciple of the master pharmacist, Gui Jianchou. He is one of the top pharmacists in the world. There is no medicine that he can't make," Li Ang said.
Gong Mochen looked at Li Ang indifferently. "His Highness Yu has never shown himself! How has he been found by you?"
"It's not that he has never shown himself. It's just that he has never shown himself in person. It so happens that I know him personally... I have set the conditions. You should think about taking my offer." Li Ang stood up from the wall with a victorious smile on his lips.
"I have already given my answer. There is nothing more to say! You can scram now!" Gong Mochen replied.
Li Ang's lips twitched. "It's none of your business whether I stay or go. I want Qin Sheng to fall in love with me and follow me willingly."
Gong Mochen grabbed Li Ang's collar. "How dare you!"
"Don't touch me. I told you, Sir, I don't like men touching me!" Li Ang suddenly raised his voice.
As Li Ang's voice fell, a woman's voice came from the other end of the corridor. "Third Brother, what are you doing?"
"Fourth Miss, just in time! Your third brother is harassing me. Pity me for being a straight and upright man! The downside of having a great face is that you might be sexually harassed everywhere you go!" Li Ang said aloud, as if he was afraid he might not be heard.
Gong Mochen tightened his grip on Li Ang's collar, ready to fight this wicked man. His posture grew rigid.
"Get off! I'm not interested in men!" Li Ang exclaimed.
Li Ang managed to break free and said, "I'm leaving! Don't miss me!"
"I want you to die!" Gong Mochen roared.
"I'm afraid that would be a bit difficult. The King of Hell thinks I'm too handsome to take. He's afraid that his Harem will come to me and lavish me with their love! But the King of Hell likes you very much... I'm very sure he's eagerly waiting for you," Li Ang teased Gong Mochen.
Damn it... If Gong Mochen didn't accept his terms then his plan would be ruined! How much money had he wasted on that antidote? His plan couldn't be ruined.
Qin Zixian watched Li Ang walk away, then walked to Gong Mochen's side. "Third Brother, this Duke is too outrageous. I'm thinking that he might've secretly changed the contract? I'm just not sure..."
"Nie Feng is looking for the person who changed the contract. He'll find who it was. It's getting late. You should rest. We have an early start." Gong Mochen strode towards his bedroom.
Qin Zixian's brows sank and she caught up with the man. "Third Brother, do you hate me?"
Gong Mochen turned to look at Qin Zixian and said in a deep voice, "Why do you ask that?"
"Because when I was young, I looked down on you and often argued with you." Qin Zixian was filled with regret. Why did she do such a stupid thing in the past? If she had treated Gong Mochen better, she might've been the one who he loved...
She had treated him badly when she was young. She fought with the boy on numerous occasions to punish him, as she thought he was not worthy of appearing in front of her.
Gong Mochen's face was cold. "I've forgotten all about the past. You're my godfather's daughter. I'll treat you as my sister."
He turned around and continued walking to his room, without looking at Qin Zixian again.
Qin Zixian stood there for a long time before she remembered where she was. She quickly ran back to her bedroom. She didn't know why life would play such a cruel prank on her, but it just so happened that the boy whom she looked down on had become a person who had so much power!
Would she ever be able to secure Gong Mochen's love? He treated her as his sister... Was that all she would be?
Gong Mochen returned to his room and took out his phone to make a call. "Ye Wei, have you found an antidote for my poison yet?"
"Yes, I've been studying it, but I can't make it," Ye Wei said.
"What about His Highness Yu?" Gong Mochen asked.
"His Highness Yu? Have you found him? He never shows his face and no one knows who he is. However, with his pharmaceutical skills, I'm sure he'd be able to make an antidote! If there is someone in this world who can make one, I believe it will be him," Ye Wei replied.
Gong Mochen frowned slightly and said, "I haven't found him, no, I'm just asking."
"It would be great if we can find him, then your poison won't be a problem." Ye Wei sighed. "IF we can find him that is."
"Okay, I understand." Gong Mochen hung up the phone and dialed another number. "Nie Feng, have you found the person who changed the contract?"
"I'm still investigating. I've found the taxi he got in, but he got out and took another one. Based on what we've found, we think he has already changed a few taxis. It will take time to find the last taxi he got in and the place he went to."
Nie Feng thought that it was basically like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"I want you to look for another person... He's called Your Highness Yu. I think he should be in the country over the border," Gong Mochen instructed.
"Yes," Nie Feng accepted the order. Now this search was definitely going to be like finding a needle in a haystack. They had as much luck finding him as buying a winning lottery ticket... Because there was no trace of His Highness Yu. No one knew who he was.

When Qin Sheng woke up the next day, she got up without Gong Mochen shouting. Today was the last day of practical investigation class. They were going to spend the day in Gong Mochen's company, and then there was a charity auction in the evening. It was to donate to children who had dropped out of school.
When she changed into her school uniform, Gong Mochen walked in and took her to the company.
Qin Sheng saw Chu Xia when she arrived at the company. Chu Xia kept complimenting her uncle for being so handsome, which shocked onlookers.
Qin Sheng smiled and suddenly thought of Yan Fei. "Is Yan Fei here? I wonder how she is now that her father has been arrested?"
"Hey, why do you care about her? It's better if she doesn't come," said Chu Xia.
"Ha, ha, if you say so. The arrest of Yan Fei's father is only temporary though. She's probably rehearsing for the charity auction this evening!" said Qin Yunting.
"She still has the nerve to rehearse? I really don't know what she's thinking? If it were me, I would have left long ago!" Chu Xia ridiculed.
"Forget about it. If she's willing to still be involved, then so be it. It won't affect us. Let's hurry up and finish the questionnaire." Qin Sheng guided Chu Xia to their task.
Chu Xia was too lazy to talk to Qin Yunting. She followed Qin Sheng to interview the staff in the office for the questionnaire.
The charity auction was held in the top floor banquet hall of the Gong Mochen Group offices. Gong Mochen had even invited many business guests to come to support the school at the auction.
Due to Gong Mochen's reputation and deterrence, the guests had rushed here even though they knew that the items were going to be auctioned at a high price.
As the banquet began, everyone sat at the dining table and ate the buffet, waiting for the auction to begin.
Suddenly, the lights in the hall dimmed...
