Chapter 215: Insignificant Enemy

Zhao Yuxi was talking to Xu Yingze and Mu Zhengguang about Gu Tingzhou. At this time, Gu Tingzhou had already returned home.

On the way home, Song Yihan thought carefully about her future with Gu Tingzhou. As she thought about it, she felt much better. When she looked at Gu Tingzhou again, she found him much more pleasing to the eye. No matter which side Gu Tingzhou stood on, at least he would not hurt her. As for how much Gu Tingzhou was willing to pay for her, she could consider it later. Moreover, she found that as long as she didn't see Zhao Yuxi, she would not get angry easily.

After returning home, Gu Tingzhou wanted to be alone for a while. Before that, there was one thing he had to arrange: "Song Yihan, find an empty bedroom on the first floor to sleep at night. I'll go to the second floor."

When Song Yihan saw him leaving, she was very frightened. She took a few steps towards him and got closer to him: "Gu Tingzhou, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you. Can you forgive me?"

Gu Tingzhou was very conflicted. He wanted to forgive Song Yihan. It was easy to say the word "forgiveness", but Song Yihan's words overwhelmed him. He didn't want to deceive Song Yihan, nor did he want to deceive himself. He couldn't say that word.

"Let's talk about it later."

Song Yihan stopped trying to persuade him to stay. It was impossible for anyone to remain calm after hearing that. For Gu Tingzhou, it might take him more time to get out of the shadows, so she shouldn't rush for success.

Gu Tingzhou walked to the second floor. He used the elemental dissolution to move away from the bedroom and Song Yihan.

There were still five living people in the warehouse, and they had to be dealt with. Zhao Yuxi had given him this great gift, and if he didn't handle it well, it would be a waste of Zhao Yuxi's kindness.

If this gift was not from Zhao Yuxi, he would probably ask Zhao Yuxi how to deal with it. But since the gift was from Zhao Yuxi, he would not ask Zhao Yuxi anymore. Zhao Yuxi helped him a lot, and he couldn't always disturb Zhao Yuxi because of his own personal affairs. During dinner, Jiang Mengxi was also there, and he didn't really want to look for Jiang Mengxi because Jiang Mengxi was very likely to be with Zhao Yuxi.

Apart from those people at the dinner party, the only people in the Academy of Sciences who were familiar with him were probably his assistants and secretaries.

Gu Tingzhou notified his assistant and secretary to rush to the office immediately.

Gu Tingzhou arrived at the office before his subordinates. He sat in the dean's exclusive office chair, where Zhao Yuxi had also sat not long ago.

After what happened today, he wanted to find Zhao Yuxi to make things clear. He didn't want to ask Zhao Yuxi whether she treated him as a slave, but to make things clear about Song Yihan. Song Yihan's words not only hurt him, but also hurt Zhao Yuxi. He had to help Song Yihan apologize to Zhao Yuxi.

But he hadn't figured out how to tell Zhao Yuxi about this. Once he met her again, he would feel ashamed and embarrassed even if she didn't ask him. So, during this period of time, he wanted to avoid Zhao Yuxi as much as possible.

Gu Tingzhou's assistant and secretary arrived soon.

"A branch dean sent me the institute's enemies. These enemies are all contemporary. Now, these enemies are in the Academy of Sciences and in my warehouse. What do you think I should do with these people?"

Gu Tingzhou called those people "enemies of the institute", which was an exaggeration. However, calling them "enemies of the institute" was not without reason. After all, the dean of the branch could represent the institute to a certain extent, and those people could also be his enemies to a certain extent.

Wu Xintao thought that this matter had nothing to do with him. He was the assistant to the dean of the branch, and he was responsible for work matters. Such personal matters could be handled by the secretary. However, since the dean gave him the opportunity, he must cherish it.

"Dean, I have an idea. I can let these people die accidentally, and then find someone to send them out of the Academy of Sciences." The dean called them enemies, and enemies should be eliminated. If the dean is not suitable and unwilling to do it himself, he is happy to help. Gu Tingzhou did not think about letting them leave this world, but he was just thinking about it and it was impossible for him to really do it. He rejected the assistant's proposal: "Don't be so cruel. Zhang Jihui, tell me what you think."

"I think we can deprive them of some of their rights and benefits. They are enemies of the institute, and they are just modern ones. We don't need to tolerate them."

"It's pretty much what I thought. Wu Xintao, is there any drug in the Academy that can make people sleep all the time? A first-order asymptote won't die in a short period of time if he doesn't eat or drink, right?"

"Yes. Dean, if you are worried that he will die, you can send them to the hospital, where there are doctors who specialize in..."

"No, they are my enemies, I don't want to spend more money on them." Gu Tingzhou said "I don't want to spend more money on them", but what he thought in his heart was "I can't let more people know about this." Maybe if more people knew about this, he wouldn't suffer any specific losses, but when he thought about it, he felt ashamed: the contemporary people could actually become the enemies of the ancients!

Zhang Jihui followed the dean's intention and provided services: "Dean, I will contact the people in the laboratory right away and ask them to send the medicine over."

"Okay. Don't tell anyone else what I told you. If there's any medicine that can make people feel pain, ask them to send some. Or medicine that can make people have nightmares. Oh, yes, is there any medicine for regret?"

Zhang Jihui was thinking carefully about the question raised by the dean: The Academy of Sciences has drugs that can make people feel pain and have nightmares, but I have never heard that the Academy of Sciences also has drugs for regret. Even if there are drugs for regret, they may not have the effect that the dean wants.

Wu Xintao seized the opportunity again and took the lead in expressing himself: "There is a regret medicine, but the effect is very poor. It can make people feel regretful and can make people recall some special past events. There should be people in the Academy of Sciences who have this asymptote for the force related to regret. Is it possible..."

"No, it's too much trouble to find someone. Zhang Jihui, go find some medicine that can make people sleepy, regretful, sad, and painful. Bring the bill back and I'll pay for the medicine. Wu Xintao, if you have time, go with him to get the medicine and deliver it to my office before 11 o'clock tonight."

"Yes."

"Yes." Wu Xintao got two chances to perform, but he wasted both of them. He was a little discouraged, but fortunately, the dean did not drive him away. As long as he could help Zhang Jihui get things done, the result would not be too bad.

After leaving the office, Gu Tingzhou did not go home immediately. Zhao Yuxi and Xu Yingze had another dinner party tonight, and he would definitely not be included in this party. Even if Zhao Yuxi invited him, he would not dare to go.

He came to the place where Zhao Yuxi had cried bitterly, and there were faint traces of tears on the floor.

At that time, he saw Zhao Yuxi's tears falling to the ground. The tears had evaporated long ago, but he still remembered where they fell.

When I revisited the old place, the past events came to my mind vividly wherever I looked.

Gu Tingzhu looked at the non-existent trace, and suddenly his heart trembled: Is Song Yihan also crying alone? What happened today, three people were hurt, why did I ignore her? Does she need me? Is she waiting for me?
Song Yihan walked back and forth in the living room. She was recalling the past, and she wanted to find Zhao Yuxi's weakness. But Zhao Yuxi was an ancient, would she have any weakness? Thinking of this, she became even more anxious, and she walked even faster.
