Chapter 667 — Tang Zhi's Hesitation, and Claims That the School Is Actually a Biochemical Base Where Viruses Were Cultivated, That the Students Accidentally Touched the Virus Source and Sparked a Biochemical Crisis

But how could she stand by and watch someone die? Rival or not — if Gu Mengyao wanted to compete fairly, Tang Zhi wasn't about to cower. She was Wei Zhao's girlfriend now; that was her advantage. Gu Mengyao was just his employer!
With these thoughts, Tang Zhi's heart eased. She should just call Wei Zhao. After all, Gu Mengyao was his employer — now that she knew, how could she possibly stand by and do nothing?
"Yunyun, what's wrong? You're not actually worrying about Gu Mengyao, are you?" Liu Xinlan had also noticed Tang Zhi's hesitation and couldn't help asking.
"Xinwen, I'm going to tell Wei Zhao about this. He knows medicine — he should be able to cure Gu Mengyao. I can't just stand by and let her die." As she spoke, Tang Zhi took out her phone. It had been dropped once, but it hadn't broken — only the back cover had some chipped paint.
"Ah? Yunyun, have you lost your mind? If Gu Mengyao dies of her illness, there'll be no one to compete with you. Why on earth would you have Wei Zhao go treat her?" Liu Xinlan stared at Tang Zhi oddly, wanting to touch her forehead to see if she was running a fever.
"Xinwen, one thing is one thing and another is another. She can compete with me — I'm not afraid of her! But deliberately letting her die? I could never do that..." Tang Zhi bit her lip. Though she said she wasn't afraid, she was actually still a bit uneasy. After all, Miss Gu's looks were no less than her own, and her family background was excellent — not to mention what she herself had said: the pavilion closest to the water catches the moonlight first. So in terms of starting lines, the two of them were essentially equal. And the most critical problem was that Gu Mengyao had Shen Yushu by her side — a girl single-mindedly determined to become a concubine, and who wanted to play at some kind of threesome!
Although Tang Zhi was innocent, she wasn't completely ignorant — she knew perfectly well what a threesome was. She had overheard the boys in class talking about such things before; it seemed to hold considerable appeal for them. She couldn't help wondering whether Wei Zhao would be able to resist the temptation.
"Sigh, look at you — you're being totally insincere!" Liu Xinlan caught the flicker in Tang Zhi's eyes and shook her head. "But it's up to you. If you want to make the call, make it."
"Mm." Tang Zhi nodded and dialed Wei Zhao's number.
Wei Zhao looked somewhat helplessly at the parents who had come bursting in, unsure how to explain things to them. By rights, since Gu Pengzhan had already spoken up, Wei Zhao of course could not shirk the responsibility—but at this moment, he still had no real solution to offer.
Wei Zhao sighed. He had just been about to speak when his phone rang, coming to his rescue. Shooting Gu Pengzhan an apologetic glance, he answered the call. "Tang Zhi, what's wrong?"
When nothing was the matter, Tang Zhi generally did not call him during the day while he was at school; even when something did come up, she mostly sent a text message.
"Wei Zhao, where are you? I heard Gu Mengyao fainted and was taken to the hospital. You should go save her, quickly." Tang Zhi bit her lip as she spoke.
"Hm?" Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback. He had not expected Tang Zhi to go out of her way to call him just so he would save Gu Mengyao. Wei Zhao smiled. It seemed that Tang Zhi and the eldest young miss were not quite as irreconcilably at odds as all that.
