The phone suddenly rang, but the person who called was not Zuo Yue.
It was a number from Russia.
Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows slightly. When he picked up the phone, his expression had already turned cold and serious.
âBoss, Iâm afraid that youâll have to come personally to Russia. The Chinese trafficking area has been completely destroyed.â
Xu Chengfengâs face darkened.â
âYes, but theyâre being so tough and bold this time. It seems like they have some kind of backer. We havenât found out what kind of backer they have yet, but if the BOSS doesnât come back and personally appear, weâre worried that the situation in the Chinese District will go out of control.â
Xu Chengfeng looked at the dark night sky outside the window.ââI understand.â
After hanging up, the phone was thrown aside.
Not long after, the assistant who was working overtime passed by the presidentâs office. The moment he saw Xu Chengfengâs back, he knocked on the door and went in. As he pushed the door open, he asked,âPresident Xu? Are you planning to stay in the company tonight? Arenât you going back to rest?â
Xu Chengfeng did not answer, but suddenly turned around and said,ââBook a flight from America to Russia tomorrow afternoon.â
The assistant was stunned for a moment, but he did not ask further. He nodded and took out his phone to quickly book the plane ticket.
*****
The next day.
Xu Chengfeng had a meeting at the company in the morning. After dealing with some of the remaining problems of the technology company, he was about to drive to the airport with Ainte in the afternoon. However, before he left the company, he still looked at An Jingâs private phone suspiciously.
The little girlâs calm reaction was indeed what he hoped for, but this calm and silent reaction made him feel that something was wrong.
âBoss, are we going straight to the airport? You donât have to go back to get some luggage to get your order.â Ainte said as he drove.
Xu Chengfeng closed his eyes and frowned. He suddenly said,ââStop the car.â
Ainte quickly stopped the car and looked behind him in confusion.âBOSS?â
âYou go to the airport first. Iâll drive over later.âAfter saying that, Xu Chengfeng got out of the car and walked back to the company building without looking back. He took his own car and left.
Seeing that the BOSSâs car seemed to be driving towards the villa, Ainte was puzzled for a moment, but he did not chase after it and drove away.
The Porsche drove at an extremely fast speed on the street until it stopped outside the villa. Xu Chengfeng looked in the direction of the villa through the window.
It was one oâclock in the afternoon. The weather was clear and the sun was shining, but the lights in the villaâs hall seemed to have not been extinguished.
It wasnât cloudy. If Zuo Yue was at home, why would she continue to turn on the lights?
Xu Chengfeng, who had only intended to come back to take a look and confirm Zuo Yueâs safety, hesitated for a moment before he pushed open the car door and got out.
Xu Chengfeng placed his hand on the combination lock outside the villa. He saw the light on it, which proved that there was someone in the villa. The door was not locked from the outside.
Someone was there?
Xu Chengfeng frowned thoughtfully as he entered the villa. He entered his fingerprint and password, then unlocked the door with two beeps. He opened the door and entered.
Inside the villa, as always, itâs neat and tidy. Left moon came back yesterday, and seemed to have never moved anywhere. However, after entering the destination, itâs the figure wrapped in a bath towel, lying on the sofa, and motionless.
Xu Chengfengâs gaze only lingered on the figure for a moment. Without even changing his shoes, he quickly walked over.âZuo Yue?â
However, the person on the sofa did not react. The moment Xu Chengfeng approached her, he could clearly feel the burning heat on her body even before he placed his hand on her.
âZuo Yue?â Xu Chengfeng leaned over and placed his hand on Zuo Yueâs flushed cheek. The abnormally hot temperature made him tremble in fear and frown fiercely.
He was fine yesterday, how could he have such a fever today?
Did she have a fever since last night and still hasnât woken up?
Zuo Yue did not know what was happening in the chaos. She only felt that there was a sound in her ears that had been quiet all this time. It was as if someone was calling her. She wanted to open her eyes but she did not have the strength to move.
Her body was flipped over, but because the towel wrapped around her body was too loose, she instantly felt a chill in front of her chest.
Xu Chengfeng did not have the heart to care too much. When he saw the towel on her body slide down, he tried not to look at the spring light on her body. He directly took a blanket from the sofa and wrapped it around her again. He even carried the unconscious Zuo Yue by her waist and turned to quickly walk out of the villa.
*****
It was noisy in his ears, as if someone was talking. His nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and his body hurt everywhere. He felt as if he had died once.
âHigh fever of 39.7 degreesâ¦â
â A fever for more than 18 hoursâ¦â
âItâs turned into pneumoniasâ¦â
âThe fever has been running for too long. We still need to check when she will recoverâ¦â
âThere are no signs of waking up yetâ¦â
Zuo Yueâs eyelids were very heavy. She seemed to be able to occasionally hear someone talking beside her. It was intermittent and she did not seem to understand. She only knew that she was in pain, but she could not wake up no matter what.
After an unknown period of time, she gradually escaped from the chaotic consciousness. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the clean ceiling. When she turned her head slightly, she saw the infusion bag and infusion bottle hanging above.
Her head hurt terribly. She was about to raise her hand when it suddenly sank, as if someone was holding it down.
She slowly turned around and saw Xu Chengfeng. He was holding her hand that was being injected.
âYouâre awake?â Xu Chengfeng gently pressed her hand back and said in a deep voice,ââDonât move. This hand is being injected.â
Zuo Yue looked at him blankly, then looked at the infusion bag on top. Her mind was a little chaotic, as if many things could not be connected. She did not know why she was here, and why Xu Chengfeng was here.
It was only when she finally recalled the scene of her stumbling out of the bathroom and falling straight onto the sofa that Zuo Yue looked at Xu Chengfeng in confusion. She opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she realized that her voice was frighteningly hoarse and that it was very difficult for her to speak.âI⦠Whatâs wrong?â
Xu Chengfeng was not surprised to hear her voice so hoarse. He merely lifted the blanket on her and said calmly,ââShe has a high fever and fainted.â
Zuo Yue was stunned.
âDonât talk, take a good rest. Youâve been unconscious for two days.âXu Chengfeng did not explain much. He just looked at her and asked calmly,ââWhat do you want to eat?â
Zuo Yue did not know that she had slept for such a long time, but from the uncomfortable and almost exhausted feeling in her body, she should have really slept for two days.
