Chapter 11 Within A 10 Metre Distance from Chu Yilun

• Why is he here? For a business deal?
• Song Shenglan smiled politely at Gong Zemu. Just as they were about to brush past each other, Song Shenglan stepped on something and slipped. She instinctively reached out to grab whoever that was within close range before she could land on the ground.
• Phew, that was close, thought Song Shenglan. Her eyes landed on where her hand was grabbing onto tightly, Gong Zemu’s chest.
• Oh no! Could that be… She gasped before she raised her eyes to meet his cold hard gaze.
• “Sorry, I didn’t mean to…” Song Shenglan explained.
• Gong Zemu squinted his eyes then all of a sudden, he moved his body forward and pinned Song Shenglan against the wall.
• On the other side of the corridor, a man was heading towards their direction to have a word with Gong Zemu.
• If Song Shenglan had turned her head, she would see that this man was Chu Yilun, the despicable man whom she would peel off his skin and rip him apart.
• Chu Yilun was approaching when he saw there was a woman in Gong Zemu’s arms.
• He stopped to see who was Gong Zemu hugging. After all, Hai Sheng was Tian Gong’s prospective business partner; there was no harm in familiarizing himself with Gong Zemu’s profile. Perhaps that would ease the collaboration in one way or another.
• Right at that moment, his mobile phone rang.
• Gong Zemu naturally steered his head towards Chi Yilun’s direction when he heard the noise.
• Feeling awkward, Chu Yilun nodded his head at him and walked away to pick up his call.
• Song Shenglan’s eyesight was blocked by Gong Zemu, thus she did not know the man who had caused her to suffer from facial disfigurement and paralysis, the man who harmed and devastated what once was a happy family, was merely 10 meters away from her!
• All Song Shenglan could feel at the moment was the intense jitters that Gong Zemu brought upon her.
• He inched himself towards her and positioned his lips near to her ears. With his eyes half-closed, he whispered in her ears, “I don’t care what are your agenda, but don’t you dare apply the same tactic on me as how you did on Minghan. I’m afraid the consequences are far more serious than you can bear, do you understand me?”
• Those words felt like a bell reverberating in her ear.
• The man was so close to her she could smell his refreshing scent with a strong hint of aggression.
• She felt tight in her throat, “Yes, I understand, Mr. Gong. I’m sorry.”
• He immediately released her then turned around and left.
• Back to the laboratory, Song Shenglan took a deep breath before beginning to work.
• It was not long before a commotion broke out.
• The people in the laboratory stood up to greet Gong Zemu and Chu Yilun when they entered the room together. Song Shenglan, who was too focused on her work did not realize their presence.
• The RA supervisor gave them a brief of the laboratory, while Gong Zemu followed the supervisor’s gaze and laid on the two people who was in front of the test console.
• Song Shenglan had her hair tied up. Her face was youthful and pure. She was facing downward and her fingers were rapidly hitting on something.
• The sunlight shone through the window and reflected onto her face.
• She was focused in her work. Few strands of hair fell in her face and she naturally fixed them behind her ears, though that did not disrupt her momentum in hitting those keyboards with her fingers.
• Gong Zemu caught his breath at the sight of that.
• This is a side of her that I would never expect from a gold digger! Her serious expression looks exactly like…her?
• She resembled a girl from his past, the only girl whom he had fallen in love with.
• However, she passed away 3 years ago and from then on, his heart was shut down.
