Chapter 99 - He Peng Falls Ill

He Feng was delayed by work and it was almost 10 o’clock by the time he got home.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw lights in the hall, an uncommon occurrence.

Usually, at this time, Fang Ya would only leave the small lights in the courtyard for him.

The lights in the hall were still on. Had she stayed up, waiting for him?

He Feng was a little puzzled, but he still walked into the hall to see what was going on.

As soon as he entered the living room, He Feng saw Wu Wei slumped over the table, asleep.

Fang Ya had just came out of the room with a blanket, ready to cover Wu Wei.

“You’re back,” Fang Ya said to He Feng in a low voice.

He Feng nodded, pointed at Wu Wei with one hand, and asked silently, “What happened?”

Fang Ya replied, still keeping her volume low, “We were waiting for you.”

“For me? Why?” He Feng frowned and looked at Wu Wei.

At that moment, Wu Wei probably heard the movement and sat up in a daze.

He opened his eyes and stared at He Feng in a daze. After a long while, he recognized the person in front of him. “Ah, brother-in-law, you’re back!”

He Feng nodded. “You were looking for me?”

Wu Wei blinked for a moment before he said, “Ah yes, I need to tell you something!

“It’s about that man with the surname Jiang,” Wu Wei said and turned to look at Fang Ya who was standing at the side. “You sit too!”

He Feng and Fang Ya sat around the table and looked at Wu Wei together.

Wu Wei gathered his thoughts for a moment before he said, “Here’s how it is! I was at work today. That man with the surname Jiang came to the office to look for me.

“He asked me to give you a message. What did he say again…” Wu Wei’s mind was a little muddled for a moment as he struggled to recall the conversation.

“What’s that word called…” Wu Wei smacked his head hard. “What’s at the bank?”

When He Feng heard that, his brows furrowed. “The bank? Are you talking about the ‘flour’?”

Wu Wei widened his eyes and pointed at him with a shaking finger. “Yes, yes, yes! That’s it! The ‘flour’ and the ‘dough’! Oh gosh, you really do know about it!”

He Feng’s expression changed slightly. “Okay! I see where this is going! Did he say anything else?”

Wu Wei thought for a moment, then shook his head. “No! That’s all he said.”

“Did he leave anything behind?” He Feng asked again.

Wu Wei’s brows were tightly knitted together, looking like he was racking his mind.

He thought for a moment, then said, “I think he said he was going to meet up with a group to pull off some pyramid scheme…

“I didn’t remember much of it,” Wu Wei admitted.

When He Feng heard that, he stood up abruptly.

Fang Ya looked at He Feng’s nervous look and could not help but ask worriedly, “Are you okay?”

A hint of nervousness flashed in He Feng’s eyes.

He looked at Fang Ya steadily for a long time before saying, “I’m going out for a while. I might not be back for a few days. You guys stay at home and be careful.”

Fang Ya nodded blankly and did not stop He Feng.

He Feng pushed the door open and walked out without any hesitation.

Wu Wei looked at He Feng’s back as he left, then looked at Fang Ya. “What’s he going to do?”

Fang Ya looked at He Feng who had already disappeared into the night and sighed softly. “Something drastic!”

Wu Wei’s brows furrowed even more tightly. It was obvious that he did not know how this “drastic measure” was related to his words.

After Wu Wei had passed on the message, Fang Ya saw that it was getting late, so she asked him to sleep in He Peng’s room for the night.

Perhaps it was because of the incident during the day, but He Peng did not sleep well that night.

When Fang Ya brought Wu wei into the room, she saw that He Peng’s face was covered in sweat. He was clutching the blanket tightly as if he was struggling in a dream.

Fang Ya went forward to check with some worry, and she found that He Peng actually had a fever!

Fang Ya called He Peng repeatedly, but he did not respond at all.

“Can you help me send He Peng to the hospital?” Fang Ya looked at Wu Wei for help.

“Don’t worry! Leave it to me!” Wu Wei carried He Peng on his back and walked out without saying a word.

Fang Ya was afraid that Shao Xiang would be worried if she woke up to find the house empty, so she had to go to Shao Xiang’s room to wake her up.

“Mom, Little Peng has a fever. We’ll take him to the hospital. Please take care of Tang Tang!” Fang Ya said anxiously.

“Hurry up and go! Don’t worry!” Shao Xiang urged Fang Ya.

Fang Ya nodded, turned around and followed Wu Wei out of the courtyard.

There was no traffic at night. It also meant no cabs. The two ran all the way to the nearest clinic. They knocked on the door and called for the doctor on duty.

The doctor was a little unhappy at first, but when he saw He Peng trembling all over, he immediately perked up.

“Quickly put the patient on the bed over there!” The doctor ordered Wu Wei.

Wu Wei did not dare to delay it any longer. He placed He Peng on the bed and immediately made way for the doctor.
