【Brain Storage Notice】

A man in a full suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses was looking at the data sent over by his assistant on the screen.

Suddenly, there was a sharp brake from the front. Under the force of inertia, the impeccably groomed overbearing CEO, Gu Qingze, had a brief collision test with the seat in front of him to see whose hardness won.Full novel: The Overbearing CEO Picked Up a Beautiful Wife — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

“Ouch!”

Gu Qingze suffered a crushing defeat, and even his gold-rimmed glasses, which he used to project a noble air, crooked sideways.

With his well-defined knuckles, he straightened his glasses, gave the driver in front of him a murderous glare, and a low, hoarse, and magnetic voice slowly spilled out: “What happened?”

If you cannot come up with a good reason, your salary will be deducted, scaring you half to death!

Driver Chen swallowed hard, his gaze catching the red patch on his president’s forehead. His voice trembled slightly as he spoke: “President Gu, a dark shadow seemed to appear in front of us just now, falling straight down from above. Slamming on the brakes was just a reflex reaction.”

Gu Qingze narrowed his eyes slightly and parted his lips: “You, get out and take a look.”

Driver Chen blinked a few times, immediately responding in the quiet atmosphere: “Right away, going now.”

Seeing him get out, Gu Qingze vigorously rubbed his forehead. Oh dear, it hurt him to death.

“Ah, Gu, President Gu!”

Suddenly, a somewhat panicked scream came from outside. Hearing this commotion, Gu Qingze’s movements paused slightly.

A dark shadow, nighttime, a private road, nobody around.

No way, surely he couldn’t have run into some kind of ghost or monster, right?

Gu Qingze shrank back a bit, cautiously sticking his head out to look forward through the car window. With just this one look,

He locked eyes with a pair of wide-open eyes and a split mouth. A pale, ghostly face seemed to be smiling right at him.

Staring at each other four eyes to four eyes, the air became exceptionally quiet.

Ah, ah, ah!

Inside, Gu Qingze was screaming frantically, but on the surface, he remained completely expressionless. He only quietly and stealthily scooted his hips backward a little bit.

“Ah, sorry, I held the phone flashlight upside down.” Driver Chen scratched his head and gave an awkward little laugh.

Gu Qingze tightly pressed his lips together and nodded.

Confirmed. His salary is getting deducted.

The car window rolled down, and Driver Chen hurried to speak: “There seems to be an injured person unconscious up ahead, bleeding a lot. President Gu, I swear I was driving completely normally! I definitely didn’t hit anyone, and the dashcam can prove my innocence!”

Hearing this, Gu Qingze let out an imperceptible breath of relief, straightened his lapels, opened the car door, and stepped out with his long legs.

“President Gu, take a look.” Driver Chen walked around to the front and pointed at the person lying on the ground.

Gu Qingze swept a cold, indifferent gaze toward the person on the ground and slightly frowned. Indeed, there was a lot of blood.

The person was covered in injuries and lying right in the blind spot of the headlights. Some of the scars and marks on his body didn’t look like ordinary ones.

“Repeat your discovery from just now.” His calm and steady voice slowly flowed out.

Driver Chen said: “I was driving as usual when I suddenly discovered a dark shadow falling from the sky, which is why I hit the brakes.”

“Falling from the sky?”

Gu Qingze swept his gaze around. He had bought this road, so it counted as a private path. Both sides were planted with only a few trees; there were no people and no residential buildings around.

To fall suddenly from the sky.

Gu Qingze raised his head to look at the sky. It was pitch black with just a few sparse stars hanging there. Surely the person didn’t fall out of an airplane, right?

This was an unsolvable puzzle. After thinking about it for just a moment, Gu Qingze decided not to think about it anymore and signaled Driver Chen with a look.

Driver Chen immediately understood and leaned forward to check the breathing of the person on the ground: “President Gu, he is still breathing.”

Hearing that phrasing, Gu Qingze’s mouth twitched imperceptibly. Was the guy cursing him to kick the bucket?!

“Put him in the car first and send him to the hospital. Have all the surveillance footage and dashcam records of this area sent over to me later.”

“Alright, President Gu!”

The car started up again. Gu Qingze sat in the passenger seat, while someone lay in the back.

Catching the smell of blood inside the car, Gu Qingze frowned and turned on the car’s internal and external air circulation. The scent of blood dissipated a little.

“Drive faster.”

Otherwise, the person might kick the bucket right in his car instead of later.

That truly would be an immense sin.

Once they rushed the person into the emergency room, Gu Qingze sat holding a tablet, reviewing the surveillance footage of the incident and looping the clip over and over again.

In the end, he confirmed one thing: that guy really did fall straight out of the sky!

Driver Chen stood off to the side, casting timid glances at the screen. Seeing Gu Qingze suddenly raise his gaze, he got such a fright that he immediately snapped his eyes forward.

“Can the identity information of the person inside be pulled?”

“Assistant Su has already tried, but nothing came up. By the way, President Gu, earlier I saw that the person’s hair is blue, and his facial contours don’t look like anyone from around here. Could he be a foreigner?”

Hearing this, Gu Qingze nodded. “Mhm. Leave him at the hospital for now, and notify me once he wakes up.”

“Alright, President Gu.”

Gu Qingze straightened his sharp suit, stood up, and just as he prepared to turn and leave, he suddenly heard the sound of a door opening behind him.

Gu Qingze blinked, changed the direction of his stride, and walked toward the doctor who had just come out.

Since he was already here, he might as well hear what was going on.

“Mr. Gu, the gentleman you brought in seems to have a rather special physical structure. His cell regeneration speed is several times faster than an ordinary person’s. However, his surface tissue seems to have suffered severe damage, and his self-recovery capability has stalled. Simply put, he has no internal injuries, just many external injuries. Some medication and care will do, and he should wake up before seven o’clock tomorrow morning.”

The doctor wearing glasses held a clipboard and reported. This hospital was a private institution affiliated with the Gu Corporation.

Hearing this, Gu Qingze grew a bit interested, though his expression remained entirely unreadable.

“A cell regeneration speed faster than an ordinary person’s?”

Hearing this, the doctor bowed and gestured to Gu Qingze: “Mr. Gu, you can come and take a look over here.”

Gu Qingze followed the doctor into a room filled with various instruments.

The doctor pointed at a display screen, his eyes glowing slightly: “Mr. Gu, look, this is connected in real-time to the operating table. We placed a detector inside one of his wounds. The speed at which his body regenerates blood is extremely fast; he doesn’t need blood transfusions at all. Furthermore, his internal cell repair is happening rapidly.”

As he went on, his tone grew visibly excited.

Gu Qingze threw an imperceptible glance at the doctor and blinked. Oh my god, this guy looked just like a mad scientist from a novel!

How on earth was someone like this hired, placing foreign objects inside a patient without authorization?!

Tsk, fired!

“Mr., Mr. Gu.” When the doctor reached his point of excitement, he looked over at Gu Qingze hoping for some shared sentiment, only to immediately lock eyes with a pair of cold, gloomy eyes.

His excited heart felt like it had been doused with a basin of icy cold water, freezing cold.

“For a medical practitioner, proper character comes first above all else. You are fired.”

The doctor’s eyes widened in disbelief. “No, Mr. Gu—”

Mr. Gu brushed some nonexistent dust off his shoulder and turned around, walking away without the slightest mercy.

Leaving the doctor standing frozen in place, his wide eyes shedding dry tears. He, he had just been fired!

Gu Qingze drafted a message and sent it to Assistant Su, telling him to inform the hospital director. He wasn’t the direct superior of this hospital, so he didn’t have the director’s contact info.

“Get medicine applied and properly bandaged for the person inside, then send him to a regular ward.” Since it was just external injuries, he could recover in a regular ward.

The sharp-eyed and stern overbearing CEO, Gu Qingze, issued his command to another female doctor who had hurried over.

“Understood.”

The female doctor looked highly experienced, and within moments, she went in, arranged everything inside the emergency room, and transferred the patient to a ward.
