Yingzi glanced at the contemplative Fei Hu and continued, "I was being followed, and that cunning woman discovered me. She deliberately had someone drive around aimlessly until nearly ten o'clock before finally parking in the Lihua Building's parking lot. To avoid attracting their attention, I parked my car at a nearby 4S store and walked over. Just at the entrance of that alley, suddenly more than ten unidentified people surged out, brandishing machetes and chasing after me. I ran while fighting back, and that's how I was forced into that abandoned factory."
Fei Hu couldn't help but ask, "In your estimation, are these people Ye Wu's or under that woman's command?"
"They shouldn't be Ye Wu's people because when I was following that woman, she had already separated from Ye Wu. Moreover, the assassins last night were very professional, as if they had received special training, and they were all fearless. If it weren't for the commotion attracting nearby residents who called the police, it wouldn't have been easy for us to escape," Yingzi said, her expression heavy, revealing that she was still shaken by last night's events.
At that moment, Ye Xiaofei walked in. Upon seeing Ye Cheng, she hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, I'm sorry you were startled. Did they make things difficult for you? It was truly terrifying." Ye Xiaofei shook her head and sat down next to Fei Hu.
"It's fine; it was just a routine inquiry. Families like ours should be prepared for this kind of thing. Besides, if someone reports it by phone, who would dare to take it lightly? What worries me most is that none of you three answered your phones. Sister Wu called in turns and made dozens of calls. Although this situation is special, you should at least inform the family in advance. Remember this; it can't happen again," Ye Cheng said while pointing at each person.
After a while, Sister Wu had the nanny bring food to Ye Cheng's study. The group sat around eating and chatting. The recurring topic was that everyone needed to be particularly cautious lately; it seemed like someone was keeping an eye on the villa again. It's hard to determine exactly who it is for now, but the series of events from last night to this morning indicated that someone intended to target the villa.
Ye Wu had just finished a phone call and looked furious. He shouted at the nanny, "Tell Little Four and Abiao to come see me quickly."
Moments later, Little Four and Abiao hurried into Ye Wu's study. As soon as they stood still, Abiao gasped for breath and asked, "What happened, Brother Tiger?" Little Four looked confused; he didn't understand because he had just followed Ye Wu back to the villa and was chatting with several brothers in the lobby downstairs. This situation was so alarming that even good people might develop heart disease.
Ye Wu's face darkened as he shouted loudly, "Last night when I was with my aunt, did you two notice anyone following us? It seemed like it was a woman."
"No, no! With so many brothers around us, who would dare? Even if there was someone, they were at least several dozen meters away; how could we have noticed? Besides, there are many women passing by; we really didn't pay attention," Abiao quickly dismissed the matter. Last night when Ye Wu was secretly meeting with the woman he referred to as his aunt, Abiao and Little Four had also entered a private room to drink tea; they genuinely didn't know if anyone was following them.
Hearing this, Ye Wu Yi's expression changed dramatically as he shouted angrily, "You idiots! Get out! I've raised you for nothing! You two weren't even present at the scene and still have the nerve to say you didn't see anything!" Ye Wu's outburst startled Abiao; he thought Ye Wu wasn't aware of this matter but realized he had picked up on what they said. This boss was too sharp; it was truly difficult to serve him.
Watching Little Four and Abiao almost retreat from his bedroom, Ye Wu's mood gradually calmed down. This aunt was truly inscrutable; how could she have such wide connections? Just last night, she once again proposed that they pull off a big job together. Such reckless actions were not something one could just decide to do. Ye Wu knew that if he engaged in such morally reprehensible acts, Ye Cheng would surely flay him alive. However, he was currently facing a financial crisis, nearly unable to operate.
Ye Wu's thoughts were in turmoil, caught in a dilemma. Suddenly, he recalled what his aunt had said to him last night: "In life, how many chances do we get to take a gamble? If you take the gamble once, you can avoid struggling for the rest of your life. Every day fighting and killing is still dangerous." Though her words were brief, each one struck deep in Ye Wu's heart. What should he do?
At that moment, Ye Wu's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw it was Juanzi calling. He felt a bit happy and shouted into the receiver, "Hey, babe, are you missing me? It's been so long since we last met; I've missed you too. As soon as I have time, I'll come over to see you."
"Missing you? Don't flatter yourself. Let's cut to the chase—when are you going to pay back the five hundred thousand you borrowed? If it's late, I'm going to close up shop; you know that. We agreed on this beforehand; you can't let me lose out on this deal. How can you sleep at night?" Juanzi's tone on the other end was very unfriendly, given that he had borrowed money from her.
After a long pause, Ye Wu awkwardly replied, "I'm sorry, sis. I'll pay it back as soon as possible." Without waiting for her response, he hung up the phone.
Fei Hu had become a national treasure these days, being taken care of meticulously by Sister Wu. Every day was filled with lavish meals; he felt like he hadn't eaten this well in years.
The morning air was very fresh. While the sky was still tinged with dawn light, Fei Hu had already started his morning exercises in the villa's yard. He began with a set of martial arts moves. Due to an injury on his left arm, he shifted most of his power to his right hand. Although he was using only one hand, he still generated a strong wind with each punch, displaying an impressive demeanor. Just as he was getting into it, Ye Xiaofei walked over while rubbing her eyes and yawning. She smiled and said, "Are you made of iron? Everyone else stayed up so late last night, yet you're up early."
Fei Hu finished his routine and took a deep breath before replying, "Not too bad. I've been lazier lately; I've almost neglected my morning exercises. Back home, I insisted on practicing every day regardless of the weather—whether it was windy or rainy—truly summer training in the heat and winter training in the cold. I never skipped a day; that's why I have such good health now."
"Do you still need morning exercises? A sparring session every few days is much more invigorating than your morning routine," Ye Xiaofei said as she began stretching her muscles. Influenced by Fei Hu these days, she had also started working out.
At that moment, Ye Cheng and Yingzi arrived one after another. The small yard suddenly filled with vitality as everyone breathed in the fresh air and moved their bodies. After some exercise, everyone's faces turned rosy and appeared extremely healthy.
At Sister Wu's call, they began to head back inside. Yingzi wiped the sweat from her forehead and gently said to Ye Xiaofei, "When I drop you off at work later, make sure to bring Fei Hu along. Isn't today the last day for his dressing change? We mustn't forget; he'll avoid going if he can."
"This can't be left up to him; he must listen to the doctor. He's like a bandit—his body is really strong despite his injuries. After just a few days of rest, he's already back to boxing! If it were anyone else, they wouldn't dare move for at least ten days or half a month," Ye Xiaofei said while glancing at Fei Hu with an expression full of joy.
As soon as he finished breakfast, when Fei Hu heard that Yingzi was going to take him in Ye Xiaofei's car to the hospital, he refused. He didn't want his colleagues at the company to know that he was injured, especially not while riding in the president's car. When his stubbornness kicked in, no one could do anything about it. In the end, Ye Xiaofei angrily pulled Yingzi and said, "Let's go. If he doesn't want to, then fine. His arm is his own."
Sister Wu chuckled and softly said to Fei Hu, "You child, why are you so stubborn? Both ladies care about you; this is such a good thing. I see you don't appreciate it at all." Fei Hu laughed awkwardly and scratched his head, which was his signature move.
"Hahaha, this kid does have a bit of my temper. How about this: after a while, you take him to the hospital. It's not a major incident; it's just a change of medicine," Ye Cheng said with a smile while stroking his beard.
At A City's Fifth People's Hospital, just after nine o'clock, the lobby on the first floor was already bustling with people. The line for registration had extended to the door. When Fei Hu saw this, he frowned and quietly said to Sister Wu, "There are so many people. How long will we have to wait? Why don't we go back and come another time? What do you think?"
"No need to think; it's definitely not an option. How about this: you sit over there for a moment while I queue for you. No matter how long this line takes today, I will make sure you get your medicine changed," Sister Wu said, giving Fei Hu a playful glare.
Seeing Sister Wu's firm attitude, Fei Hu didn't say anything more and stood in front of her obediently to wait in line. Realizing her tactic worked, Sister Wu went over to sit on a chair by the wall. Fei Hu couldn't understand why there were so many sick people; no wonder the hospital was so busy and every doctor seemed impressive.
Just as Fei Hu patiently moved forward step by step, suddenly the adjacent line became chaotic. A woman's voice could be heard crying out, "You scoundrel! How could you steal my life-saving money? This money is meant for the surgery fee! What am I going to do? Without this money, my husband won't be saved! I might as well not live!" Her cries were heart-wrenching.
Fei Hu quickly turned to the person behind him and said, "Excuse me, I'm going to check what's going on up front." The man in his fifties nodded slightly.
On the ground at the payment window sat a middle-aged woman in her fifties. From her clothing and appearance, it was clear she came from a rural area. She was crying inconsolably, while several kind-hearted people around her could only sigh in sympathy. One patient wearing a hospital gown advised her, "Stop crying; it won't help. Quickly call the police; maybe that will work. Otherwise, find security here and see if they can help."
"Finding anyone won't help; this kind of thing happens here every day," an elderly man in his sixties shook his head and said. Hearing this made Fei Hu freeze in place.
