Chapter 1696: If you are awake, look at me, okay?

There was nothing else more important than Pei Ge’s life in Ji Ziming’s heart.
To him, she was ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times more important than he was. Without her, he could not imagine what he would become.
“I got it; I’ll get my men to investigate this matter.”
His eyes were icy-cold, and the frosty aura around him kept people at bay. The doctor only stood silently behind him as he looked at the man. It seemed that the rumors were false.
This man’s eyes had clearly been filled with tears earlier when he had looked at the woman. As a legendary figure in the business world, he had actually shed tears for a woman. This did not cause the doctor to look down on him; instead, it made the former impressed with the latter.
“I shall take my leave now.”
The doctor said everything he wanted to say, so there was no point in him staying here further. He had done all that he could, and it was time to leave.
“Sure. Go back and tell me every information you can get about that powder. You’re a doctor, so you should know where such stuff is sold. I’ll give you one week—no, three days—to give me a satisfactory answer. If not, your hospital…”
Ji Ziming turned to look at the doctor as his eyes got filled with slight vengefulness.
That vengefulness caused the doctor to break out in a cold sweat. He could not imagine what would happen if he failed to accomplish the task a.s.signed to him by this man. Would he end up in a more pitiful state than the woman?
“I got it, sir. I’ll try my best to accomplish it, but three days is a bit too rush. Are you able to extend…”
The doctor seemed to be in a tight spot. How could he possibly accomplish such a task in three days? Furthermore, he had rushed here from another city early in the morning. Because there were too many cars going to the hotel, it had caused a slight traffic jam. In the end, he arrived while panting.
“No, if you think that three days isn’t enough, I’ll give you two or one day. Decide for yourself.”
Ji Ziming narrowed his eyes as he gave the doctor a dangerous look. Since someone dared to hurt Pei Ge, he would do everything to find the culprit.
It was not too much to tear the person limb from limb by five horses
Seeing how determined the man was, the doctor knew that there was no other way out and could only agree to it.
“Oh, right. I’ll arrange some men to help you with it; you can use them as you wish.”
Ji Ziming did not give the doctor a difficult problem.
The doctor lifted his head, and upon hearing that he would not be working on this task alone, he quickly nodded and replied, “Thank you. Since you’re sending more men to help me, I’ll strive to investigate this matter fast.”
“Great. I want this to be strictly confidential, so carry out your task secretly. This person acted harshly on my wife, so I couldn’t let them live well.”
A glint of ruthlessness flashed past his eyes as he looked at the skysc.r.a.pers before him. No matter where the person was hiding, he would capture and deal with them properly.
The different kinds of punishment and torture could all be experienced by that person.
For the pain Pei Ge was experiencing right now, that person must endure tenfold, a hundredfold, or a thousandfold of that.
The doctor left with the nurse after that. Ji Ziming no longer had the mood to entertain the boring guests downstairs. Compared to his company, he only cared about Pei Ge. If the company was gone, based on his capabilities, he could start another one. He could give her everything she wanted.
Furthermore, it was merely a few companies.
When He Yun came to report to him, Ji Ziming was carefully wiping the sweat on Pei Ge’s forehead. The medication applied on her back was effective in dissipating the poison in her body, but it was a gradual process.
However, it was better than letting her lay here in pain.
Noting the dry lips of the unconscious woman, he ordered his people to bring a bowl of water and cotton bud so that he could moisturize her lips. If he had been careful, Pei Ge would not need to go through such torture.
The woman could not feel anything in her dreams, except that her back was getting cold and the heat in her body felt oddly comfortable.
“Sir, the guests are downstairs, what do you plan to do with them?”
He Yun stepped inside the room and whispered this to his boss’s ear.
“They’re still not leaving?” asked the man coldly. The head of the staff had listed down the guests, from the Qu Group’s Jingwan to those small companies, who wanted to secure a business deal with Pei Ge’s company using this chance.
“I believe that they won’t leave without seeing you,” opined the subordinate. Although he had already told the guests in the banquet hall the reason why his boss could not be there today, the number of guests just kept increasing instead of decreasing. He, too, was very helpless about it.
“Sir, do you think we need to—”
“No need; let them be. Once Ge Ge is slightly better, I’ll head downstairs to check.”
Frostiness filled his face as he looked at the woman lying in bed. His heart squeezed as he did everything for her, but she was now lying in bed without the ability to say a word.
“Understood, sir; then, I’ll head downstairs.”
He Yun exited the room after saying that, leaving his boss to take care of the woman alone.
The pale pink bed sheet was changed to a light gold cover which made Pei Ge look even paler. Ji Ziming gently caressed her face. Seeing this woman with her silky-smooth skin lying feebly and defenselessly in bed caused his heart to ache.
“Why are you so silly? The company doesn’t matter, and you’re the one who matters. If you’re no longer around, what would happen to me? If you’re no longer by my side, what should I do in the remaining days? You silly girl, you’re always the first in my heart. Even if the company were to be gone, I could just start all over again with you.”
Ji Ziming spoke gently. Pei Ge seemed to hear it as her finger moved slightly. Although it was a simple action, he still felt excited.
“Ge Ge, can you hear me?”
His eyes were filled with joy as he looked at the woman with antic.i.p.ation.
“If you’re awake, look at me, alright?”
