章節 2: Hospital (2) Sub Eng
After realizing that he was the villain in the story he was reading, Gu Shen felt panic enveloping his mind. "This can't be happening... How can I be in this world?" he thought. However, reality soon followed, and he knew he had to act quickly to deal with this situation. With memories of the novel's plot he had once read, Gu Shen began piecing together fragments of information that he remembered.
The novel tells the story of Ye Tian, a young man from Earth who came to this world with the help of a mysterious system. The system gave him various tasks that, if completed, would reward him with valuable rewards. Gu Shen remembered how powerful the system was; from healing potions that could instantly heal any wound, to talent-enhancing potions that could make someone much stronger in a short time. With the help of the system, Ye Tian managed to overcome various challenges and obstacles in this world, including battling strong enemies, like Gu Shen himself.
Gu Shen felt an immense pressure squeezing his chest. "How could I possibly fight someone with that kind of power?" he thought. Ye Tian was not just a young man with extraordinary luck; he had an unbeatable tool in his hands—the system that could give him anything he needed to win. Meanwhile, Gu Shen, despite having SSS talent, did not have such an advantage. In this world, where mutated creatures roamed and humans with special powers competed against each other, even small differences could be the deciding factor between life and death.
Gu Shen's mind raced, trying to find a way to overcome this situation. He knew that directly fighting Ye Tian was a foolish move and might hasten his demise. However, he also couldn't just sit idly by and wait for death to come.
"Is there a way to change my fate?" he asked himself. If he could remember more details about this novel, perhaps he could find weaknesses or loopholes in Ye Tian's system that could be exploited. The problem was he couldn't remember the storyline of this novel clearly. It was because he had read so many novels in his previous life that he couldn't recall the entire plot. He couldn't even remember where the protagonist gained opportunities to enhance his power. Typically, such details weren't mentioned in detail by novel authors.
Gu Shen sat on the hospital bed, his expression changing from time to time. Sometimes, his brows furrowed, and he even bit his lip as if pondering something very serious. It was indeed serious because he was currently trying to remember more details about this novel. However, he was destined to be disappointed as he could hardly recall the storyline at all except for the protagonist's name.
Nevertheless, it was understandable since it had been a long time since he last read the novel, so it was common to forget. Every time he tried to recall something about the novel, he could only grasp blurry and unclear fragments.
As he pondered on, a memory of one of the characters suddenly surfaced in his mind: Ye Tian's younger sister. He tried to recall that Ye Tian had a sickly younger sister. They were born as twins, only differing by a few days. Despite this, their lives were filled with suffering. Their parents passed away when they were 12 years old, leaving them orphaned. Without a source of income, they endured a difficult life. Ye Tian's younger sister, whose name wasn't clear in his memory, chose not to attend school so that Ye Tian could continue his education, hoping that one day he would succeed and lift their family out of poverty. Even for daily meals, they often struggled.
Gu Shen pondered deeply. "Perhaps I can exploit this weakness," he thought. A plan began to form in his mind. He would demand compensation from Ye Tian's younger sister. By using his identity as the sole heir of the Gu family, one of the twelve prominent families, he could intimidate others into giving him what he desired. He believed this plan was worth a try.
While he was contemplating this plan, the door to the hospital room opened. A doctor entered cautiously, followed by two guards from the Gu family who were always ready to serve. The doctor approached Gu Shen with concern, observing the bruises on his face. He took out advanced medical tools to examine and treat Gu Shen's wounds.
"Tuan Muda Gu, I will examine your wounds," the doctor said respectfully. However, as he approached with the medical tools, Gu Shen raised his hand, rejecting the treatment. Gu Shen's cold gaze pierced through the doctor. "It's not necessary," Gu Shen said sharply and coldly. "Let this bruise remain."
The doctor was immediately taken aback, his hand holding the medical tools trembling uncontrollably, feeling a sense of fear. He took a step back, his mind spinning wildly. "Have I offended Young Master Gu? My life is over," he thought. Fear began to creep over him. He knew that Gu Shen was the heir of the Gu Family—just one mistake could ruin his career or, even worse, lead to his demise.
"Is... there something wrong, Young Master Gu?" the doctor asked, his voice trembling, his face pale. The guards behind him remained stoic, their faces devoid of emotion. Gu Shen stared coldly at the doctor, his sharp eyes making the man shrink back, like a turtle retreating into its shell.
"Don't ask questions. Just leave," Gu Shen replied firmly. The doctor bowed deeply. "Thank you, Young Master Gu," he said respectfully and quickly hurried out of the room, afraid that Young Master Gu might change his mind. Gu Shen gazed at the closed door, feeling a strange satisfaction from his actions. "Is this what having power feels like?" he thought. "Truly a pleasant feeling."
However, he quickly refocused on his goal. With a calmer yet authoritative tone, Gu Shen spoke to one of his guards. "Find out the location of Ye Tian's residence. I want to know where he lives and what his condition is like."
The guard nodded, "Yes, Young Master Gu," before swiftly leaving the room to carry out the order.
Gu Shen then turned his gaze to the remaining guard. "Prepare the vehicle. We will go to Ye Tian's location once we have the information."
The second guard nodded promptly, "Right away, Young Master Gu," he replied, then hurried out to prepare the vehicle.
Gu Shen sat back on the hospital bed, waiting for the report from his guard. His mind was filled with complex thoughts. Honestly, Gu Shen didn't have a clear plan at the moment. "If I meet Ye Tian's sister, what should I do? Ask for compensation? They don't have money; their family is poor. If I send Ye Tian to jail, wouldn't that just add to the protagonist's hatred? So, what should I do?"
