Chapter 106: Chapter 106: The Gentleman’s Agreement

Gu Lili asked, "Is your name Chang Zhi?"

"Correct, indeed it is I."

"What’s your last name?"

"Su." His voice was mellow, "I’ve heard that those born with the ability to see us are extremely rare. You must have been very scared the first time you saw us, right?"

"I was born this way. I was indeed scared when I was young, but I gradually grew up and became less afraid." Gu Lili felt the pain slowly diminishing as she got up from the ground and brushed the dust off her body.

"Does your husband know?"

"Yes, he knows, and he doesn’t mind."

"That’s good."

Thinking of his ability to make this Poison-proof substance, Gu Lili asked, "You’ve been resurrected, can you recreate it and give me another share?"

"Do you want to give it to your husband?"

"You guessed right; I hope he can be like me."

"I can agree to that, but the condition is, the ingredients for this thing are very hard to find, not easy to come by. You need to gather everything I need for me to make it for you. Also, we’ll need to make a gentleman’s agreement."

"What kind of gentleman’s agreement?"

"That is, besides your husband, I will not give it to you again, so you can’t ask me for it in the future. And apart from myself, I’ll keep one share for my lover, and after that, I won’t ever make it again."

"Why? This is a good thing, the result of your hard research. Don’t you want it to flourish and spread?"

Chang Zhi, still facing away from her, replied, "No, this thing can bring benefits, but it’s also a curse. I died in my previous life because of it. The person who harmed me wanted the secret formula. I gave them a false one hoping to save my life. However, people’s desires are never satisfied, and they thought it was real. After they took it, they killed me to silence me. Sometimes, what you own may not truly be yours in the end. This thing must not spread, so, apart from your share, I will make three more. If I ever have children, I will not tell them that I’m the one who developed this. It’s best if it ends with me."

At this point, he added another point, "First, let me tell you the names of the materials you’ll need, but don’t think you can make it just by having them. There is still one most critical ingredient."

"You’re afraid that we will end up like those people who made it? Don’t worry, after hearing what you’ve said, I don’t think I’ll ever entertain that thought. Even if you make another share for me, I will absolutely not tell anyone it came from you, including my husband."

Su Changzhi felt a sudden clarity in his heart upon hearing her words, "You’re a reasonable person, we can be friends."

Gu Lili felt entirely comfortable now and gladly agreed, "Of course, we can."

...

Upon returning home, she immediately restored all the settings on her mobile phone.

To prove that his words were correct.

Gu Lili took out a bottle of pesticide from her bag.

She had intentionally bought it on the way back.

Looking at the instructions on the bottle, Gu Lili took a deep breath, bringing the bottle to her lips several times before putting it down again.

She really lacked the courage.

Finally, she closed her eyes and truly gulped down the pesticide.

Oh boy!

This pesticide is truly damn disgusting!

After drinking it, a new wave of discomfort hit, and she started to foam at the mouth.

Gu Lili also felt a bit dizzy.
