The car turned and drove into the Third People's Hospital in City A. In the emergency room, the doctor looked at Fei Hu's wound, shook his head, and said, "You're quite something. With such a large wound, you don't even flinch. Here's the plan: I'll treat the wound immediately, then give you an IV for inflammation and a blood transfusion. You look pale; it seems you've lost quite a bit of blood."
Fei Hu became anxious upon hearing this. He thought a blood transfusion was unnecessary and immediately shouted, "Doctor, the inflammation treatment is fine, but I think we can skip the blood transfusion. I'm in good health and not lacking in blood at all..."
"Doctor, don't listen to him. You know what needs to be done; it's your call. This is a hospital, and we all have to follow your arrangements," Yingzi interrupted Fei Hu, stepping in to speak, while Ye Xiaofei nodded in agreement.
Once everything was taken care of, it was almost dawn. After a night of turmoil, Fei Hu finally couldn't hold on any longer while receiving the IV; his eyes closed together, and soon he began to snore.
Ye Xiaofei glanced at the weary Yingzi and said, "There's no one in the next bed; you should lie down for a bit. You can go home once it gets light." Yingzi nodded and immediately climbed onto the bed; she was tired as well.
Ye Xiaofei sat by the bed, watching the sleeping Fei Hu. Her heart was tumultuous. What could she say about this man? The internal strife within the Ye Family had quietly drawn him into their troubles. He had faced danger without hesitation; such a passionate man was hard to find in this materialistic world. From their first meeting to their perilous encounter in the mountains and then to the Dragon Tiger Gang's Annual Meeting, Ye Xiaofei reflected on everything that had happened. She realized she truly liked this man deeply.
As Ye Xiaofei pondered these thoughts, she inadvertently fell asleep. In her dreams, it seemed as if she saw Fei Hu holding Yingzi's hand, running ahead of her. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't catch up; Ye Xiaofei felt like she was about to collapse from exhaustion.
"Hey, wake up! How can you all be asleep here? This is a hospital!" When Ye Xiaofei opened her eyes, she saw a young nurse standing in front of her, tapping on the edge of the bed.
Ye Xiaofei rubbed her eyes and yawned long and loudly before feeling much better. She smiled at the nurse and said, "Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep. Does this patient still need medical attention?"
"No need for that anymore. Just handle some paperwork and go home to rest. It's a minor injury; just remember to come back for a dressing change later. This is what Dr. Liu from last night's shift instructed," the nurse replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaofei was delighted. She quickly walked over to Yingzi's bedside and shook her awake, then recounted what the nurse had just said. Yingzi was also happy; going home meant that Fei Hu's wound was no longer serious. The two hurriedly completed some related paperwork, and by the time they got Fei Hu into the car, it was already 8:30 in the morning.
Yingzi suddenly remembered and hurriedly said to Ye Xiaofei, "How about this? I'll drop you off at the company first, then take Fei Hu home. Otherwise, it will be too late for you, and if you don't go to work, there will be no one to cover for Fei Hu."
Ye Xiaofei replied softly, "It's fine. Just drive to the villa first. For now, let Fei Hu stay at the villa. It will be good for him to rest and recover. I can just call the company." As she spoke, she took out her phone from her pocket and angrily slammed it onto the seat.
While starting the car, Yingzi gently asked, "What happened, Sister Xiaofei?"
"This damn phone! Why did it have to shut off at such a crucial moment?" Ye Xiaofei said with a look of impatience.
Yingzi offered her phone and said, "Use mine."
Ye Xiaofei took the phone and opened it, exclaiming, "Ah! How come there are over twenty missed calls? Oh my god, they’re all from home! Grandpa and Sister Wu must have been worried sick last night." Upon hearing this, Fei Hu shook his head and straightened up, pulling out his own phone as well.
"Wow, I also have more than ten missed calls. This is too coincidental. Xiaofei, hurry and call back. Last night, both Yingzi and I had our phones on silent mode. Plus, we were so nervous that we didn’t even notice when the phones rang," Fei Hu said while shaking his head helplessly. He knew very well that last night, Ye Cheng and Sister Wu must have been awake all night.
Ye Xiaofei quickly dialed back but was met with an unexpected situation; she called several times but no one answered.
Seeing that the situation was unusual, Yingzi said nothing and stepped on the gas. The Z4 sped across the overpass. After twenty minutes of anxiety, no one wanted anything else to happen at the villa. Once they parked the car, everyone quickly got out only to find that the villa's front door was locked. It was hard to believe that even if Ye Cheng and Sister Wu were out, there should still be a housekeeper at home; how could there be no one?
Ye Xiaofei searched anxiously for a while before finally finding the villa key. Breathing heavily, she said to Fei Hu, "Come on, open the door! I'm so nervous!" Fei Hu took the key and quickly unlocked the outer door. He then signaled to Yingzi, and both of them rushed up the steps. Fei Hu gently inserted the key into the lock; with a click, the main door swung open. Yingzi darted inside and looked around; seeing nothing unusual, she waved at Fei Hu.
Once inside, Fei Hu noticed everything in the hall was in order; nothing seemed out of place. He gestured for Yingzi to follow him as they headed upstairs. With each step, Fei Hu felt his heart racing; scenes from movies flashed through his mind—he hoped that when they opened the bedroom door, they wouldn’t find Ye Cheng or Sister Wu lying in a pool of blood. The thought made him spit twice in frustration.
As Yingzi gently pushed open the bedroom door, everything appeared normal inside—the bed was neatly made with no signs of chaos. Suddenly, Yingzi shouted, "Come look! Isn’t this Grandpa’s phone?" Hearing this, Fei Hu rushed over to see that Yingzi was indeed holding Ye Chengjing's usual phone. This made Fei Hu even more anxious; what urgent matter could have caused him to leave without his phone?
At this moment, Ye Xiaofei also walked in. Her expression was very grim, but at this time, she still displayed the demeanor of a strong woman. She softly said, "Everyone, please don't panic. This situation may not be as bad as it seems. Let's analyze it first and think carefully before making a decision. Besides, being too anxious might disrupt our own plans."
Yingzi furrowed her brows, examining every corner of the room like a detective. From Ye Cheng's bedroom to the study, and then to Sister Wu's bedroom, after checking everything, she reluctantly ran to the rooms of several maids to take another look. Upon returning, her face was dark as she said, "Sister Wu and several maids left their phones in their rooms. It seems they encountered some special situation and left in a hurry, even forgetting to take their phones with them, or perhaps they were not allowed to take them."
"Who has such authority to prevent people from taking their phones, especially so many?" Fei Hu asked, puzzled.
Yingzi thought for a moment and replied, "It feels like the police took them away. If it were any other situation, it wouldn't look like this at all. For instance, in a kidnapping case, they wouldn't kidnap the maids. Moreover, having so many phones left in the house indicates only one possibility: the police took them away and told them not to bring their phones. Also, this must have happened this morning when everyone had just woken up because all the rooms are very tidy." Yingzi's analysis was indeed thorough.
Hearing Yingzi's words, Ye Xiaofei's expression improved somewhat; at least her grandfather and the others were safe. Even if the police were apprehending someone, they wouldn't just shoot to resolve matters; there would at least be a process involved. Ye Xiaofei paced back and forth in the room like an ant on a hot pan, muttering softly, "With so many police stations and precincts around, where should we go to ask?"
Seeing Ye Xiaofei's anxious demeanor made Fei Hu equally restless. Ye Cheng was like his own grandfather; he didn't want anything to happen to him. Furthermore, he was also Ye Xiaofei's grandfather. With these two layers of connection in mind, Fei Hu thought to himself that now was the time to act like a man and help Ye Xiaofei relieve her worries.
Suddenly, Fei Hu noticed the surveillance camera at the entrance of the villa. An idea struck him as he shouted, "I have a solution!" Both Yingzi and Ye Xiaofei turned to look at him simultaneously with expressions full of anticipation.
Fei Hu exhaled deeply and said, "We have so many cameras installed in our yard. If we check the computer, won't everything be clear? We wouldn't need to worry so much."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaofei turned and ran towards her room. Yingzi gave Fei Hu a thumbs-up and pulled him into Ye Xiaofei's bedroom. This place was off-limits; although Fei Hu had stayed in the villa before, it was his first time entering Ye Xiaofei's room. Firstly, she had never invited him in; secondly, how could he casually enter such a young lady's bedroom?
Inside the room, Ye Xiaofei was starting up her computer. It seemed that when she left earlier, the computer had been turned off as well. Seizing the opportunity, Fei Hu glanced around the room twice—wealthy people certainly lived comfortably; it couldn't be otherwise. Ye Xiaofei's bedroom could also be described with two additional words: luxurious and grand. The computer powered on as Ye Xiaofei adjusted the camera settings to last night’s footage. She reviewed everything until this morning without any issues; however, when she reached around seven o'clock, several police cars stopped at the villa's entrance. Ye Xiaofei's hand trembled as she said, "It's the police."
