Chapter 83
It was late at night when we returned to Suicheng.
Maybe it was because the night wind was a little cold, but Chen Mo felt a rare chill on his back that made him frown.
The two groups dispersed. Lao K was the only one on Xinrui's side who had an assistant drive over to pick him up. Unfortunately, after the assistant was added, the car couldn't accommodate anyone, so one more person came out.
Yuan Hao took the initiative to say: "I can just take a taxi."
"You go ahead." Chen Mo looked at the time and said to a few people, "You are all heading in the same direction. By the way, I will go alone so that you don't have to go around in circles."
Chen Mo is a leader after all. It makes no sense for his subordinates to take the bus and leave him alone.
The two people in the sales department were shocked at the same time and quickly declined: "Mr. Chen, this won't work. You should go first. We are not children anymore. We can go back by ourselves."
Just as he was trying to shirk responsibility, a low-key black luxury car slid over.
The rear window rolled down, revealing the familiar profile of CM boss.
Xi Siyan tilted his head, as if he was just saying hello, and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
"Boss Xi." The colleague bowed and smiled, "I'll be there soon."
Xi Siyan glanced at Chen Mo who was standing next to him, and then said calmly: "I'll take you, Mr. Chen, away. It's getting late, everyone should go home early."
Yuan Hao was the first to react.
He pushed the other two colleagues who wanted to talk directly into the car, said goodbye to Chen Mo in a hurry, and urged his assistant to drive.
Besides the driver Xiao Lin, he was the only one in Xi Siyan's car.
As soon as Chen Mo got in the car, Xiao Lin raised the tailgate.
Chen Mo looked up at the baffle, said nothing, and asked the person next to him, "Where are the others?"
"Han Gan will be in charge of sending her off." Xi Siyan glanced at him, took the notebook from his lap and put it aside: "You haven't had a good rest these days. I see you are still working on the copywriting on the plane. Take a nap. I'll call you when we get there."
Chen Mo pinched his eyebrows but didn't refuse.
He simply wrapped himself in clothes and lay on Xi Siyan's legs. He moved a little, turned over and lay on his back, found a comfortable position and closed his eyes.
He actually didn't feel that sleepy, he just had a headache from overworking his brain.
Chen Mo also had a lot of questions to ask him.
For example, what is the progress of UA's investigation? For example, is Lunar really under control, or did he flee back to his country as soon as he was exposed as rumored? For example, do you want to get some sleep too?
These questions kept circulating in his mind. He wanted to ask them, but as soon as he closed his eyes, deep fatigue swept over him.
He rested his head on Xi Siyan's legs and smelled the familiar scent on him.
I only had time to ask vaguely: "You're not leaving tonight, are you?"
"I need to go to the company." Xi Siyan put his coat on him, "The two pieces of evidence provided about UA are questionable and need to be resubmitted to the public security system."
Chen Mo recalled the two times he was attacked: "Be careful, even though this is domestic, there's no guarantee that the other party might be desperate."
After Xi Siyan said he was relieved, Chen Mo turned sideways and buried his head in Xi Siyan's waist and abdomen, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
I felt a little cold again halfway through.
Dry throat.
He opened his mouth and called Xi Siyan, but realized that his voice was so soft that no one could hear him. But he soon got a response, feeling Xi Siyan's palm against his forehead and the tense seriousness in his words.
He is on the phone.
"Yes, the fever has started, and it's spreading very fast... It's on the way, and it should take another ten minutes..."
It turned out to be a fever.
Chen Mo guessed that he was probably arranging a doctor.
My eyes were not open and my mind was in a daze.
The feeling was a bit like sleep paralysis. He knew clearly that he should wake up, but his hands, feet and limbs seemed to be tied up.
This inevitably reminded Chen Mo of the two years when he was 27 or 28 years old, when inflammation in his knees occasionally caused a low-grade fever. After struggling to wake up from nightmares every night, an overwhelming and increasingly strong desire would fill his heart. He smoked and led his subordinates in and out of the business world, squeezing out all his free time, demanding a lot from himself and the people under him.
Chen Mo had thought about this before. This might not be an instinctive desire to survive.
He needs these emotions: anger, resentment, and unwillingness. If the Chen Mo of the past had given up even these supports, he would have rotted in the mud long ago.
But why, now that he felt his hands and feet were tied and his soul was falling, he couldn't muster the strength to struggle?
Because he knew that someone was following him.
The force of the ring around his shoulders was very strong, and the voice in his ear saying, "We'll be there soon," was very real.
When he felt the car stopped, Chen Mo finally opened his eyes blurry.
He saw Xi Siyan's jawline, which looked particularly sharp because of his overly serious expression.
Chen Mo reluctantly stood up, his lips touching his chin, and spoke in a daze, "I'm fine. I also feel a little regretful. What should I do?"
Xi Siyan hugged him and rubbed his forehead, his mind still on his high fever, and asked in a low voice: "What do you regret?"
"How come I missed you?"
Chen Mo said this very quietly, so quietly that he felt he was the only one who heard and cared about it. Even if Xi Siyan heard it, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it, after all, it was just a sigh.
After saying that, he held onto Xi Siyan's shoulders and sat up. He touched his forehead, his mind still not fully clear: "I felt a little cold at the airport, and I thought it was nothing. I didn't expect that I still caught a cold."
When he said this, he turned his eyes away, so he didn't see Xi Siyan pause, slowly clench his hands, and his wrinkled pupils, the emotions that had to be extremely suppressed to remain calm.
Xi Siyan's heart was in turmoil.
He even wondered if he was too sensitive or had heard it wrong.
If it weren't for those so-called precognitive dreams, he wouldn't have thought about it in some incredible directions. And he hasn't had it for a long time, especially after he expressed his feelings and got back together. In addition to eliminating the threats around Chen Mo, the shock and impact of the dream have almost faded.
But now he suddenly realized that there were some things he was completely ignorant of.
Chen Mo: "Just send it here, I'll go by myself, I'll call you later."
As soon as Chen Mo stood up, Xi Siyan pulled him back.
His eyes were filled with darkness. "What makes you think that work is more important than you? Leaving your boyfriend alone outside the hospital, isn't it enough to do it once?"
Chen Mo was stunned, then laughed, "I don't mind."
Xi Siyan ignored his words.
It is not appropriate to ask more questions at this time.
Chen Mo's body temperature was incredibly hot, and he looked like nothing was wrong. However, from Xi Siyan's perspective, the high fever that quickly rose turned the corners of his eyes red and his lips pale.
Xi Siyan acted decisively and took the man out of the car.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Mo successfully received the infusion.
The results of the blood test showed viral infection and mild anemia, so Xi Siyan arranged for him to be admitted to a VIP ward. And at Xi Siyan's mandatory request, he had a full day of comprehensive examinations waiting for him tomorrow.
"Aren't you sleepy?" Chen Mo had no intention of sleeping. He was half leaning against the head of the bed, without taking off his shoes, and asked Xi Siyan who had just walked in after finishing his phone call.
Xi Siyan: "I'm fine."
Chen Mo stared at Xi Siyan's expression closely.
Since entering the hospital, Chen Mo felt that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He just felt like he was hiding some emotions.
Chen Mo frowned slightly: "Is it really okay not to go to the company?"
"Well, there's no rush." Xi Siyan stepped forward and slowed down his infusion tube.
Chen Mo said, "Don't hide it from me. Even if UA is investigated, it won't be settled in a day or two. This period is critical. If it's urgent, go and deal with it. I don't have anything important to do here. Even if there's an inspection tomorrow, I'll just ask Yuan Hao to come."
Xi Siyan didn't interrupt him and let him finish.
When Chen Mo stopped talking, Xi Siyan said in a calm tone, "Are you done? Go to sleep after you're done."
At this point, Chen Mo knew that he couldn't convince him.
But I thought about how he was also on a three-day intensive business trip, coming back late at night without stopping, and I had a high fever again.
Chen Mo lifted the quilt, patted the person next to him and said, "Then you can come up and sleep with me for a while, okay?"
"This bed is too small." Xi Siyan glanced at the single bed, then looked into Chen Mo's eyes, "You need to have a good rest. I can sleep on the sofa later."
Chen Mo would not allow for rejection: "Come up. Or do you want to fight me like this all night long?"
Xi Siyan stared at him for a few seconds, compromised, and went around to the other side and got on the bed.
The iron bed in the hospital creaked when it was under pressure. Xi Siyan silently rolled the person into his chest. From a perspective that Chen Mo couldn't see, his chin hit the top of Chen Mo's head. The room was silent for a few seconds.
"Just now in the car..."
Chen Mo asked: "Huh? What happened in the car?"
Xi Siyan was about to speak when a nurse pushed the door open.
This topic ends here.
Xi Siyan didn't like the feeling of knowing there was a problem but not solving it, which stood between the two of them. So when the nurse came in, his face was a little cold. I don't know if it was because his expression was too serious, Chen Mo felt that the nurse's hands were shaking when she changed his dressing.
But Chen Mo didn't care. He told Xi Siyan that he had to go back early tomorrow morning to get his things.
Xi Siyan didn't reply to him. Instead, he looked at the nurse and suddenly asked, "Does the hospital's single bed not allow two people to sleep in it?"
The nurse paused while injecting the drug, and said in a low and vague voice: "Yes, right."
"Really?" Xi Siyan stared at the other person, "Let me see the medicine bottle. I don't remember him needing to add any medicine during the course."
Only then did Chen Mo realize something was wrong.
For some reason, the nurse's eyes became fierce, and she suddenly took out a knife from her pocket and stabbed it directly into Chen Mo's neck.
Xi Siyan's reaction was frighteningly fast. He supported the bed with one hand and swept his long legs across.
The nurse's waist slipped and she fell out onto the medicine rack, with all kinds of crackling sounds all over the floor.
Chen Mo immediately pressed the emergency bell.
Ten minutes later, Xi Siyan and Chen Mo's cell phones rang at the same time.
Chen Mo's phone was busy because he received many messages from colleagues who knew that he lived in the "Rhine Ark".
"Mr. Chen??? Are you okay?!"
"Brother Mo, I just heard that your house caught fire. Are you okay?"
"Mr. Chen, it's all over the circle. How are you?"
Chen Mo looked at the thick smoke billowing out of the floor where he lived in the video images, then looked at the "nurse" who was pinned to the ground by Xi Siyan's bodyguard who appeared out of nowhere. The blue veins on his forehead twitched twice.
The call Xi Siyan received came from someone Xi Siyan arranged to stay near Chen Mo's home.
It belongs to the Xi family.
At this moment, he simply explained the situation and apologized: "Mr. Xi, I'm sorry. Because Mr. Chen was on a business trip, we temporarily withdrew our staff. According to the surveillance, someone did enter Mr. Chen's residence yesterday afternoon. The most likely cause of the fire was human error. However, it is still unknown whether the target was Mr. Chen himself or some important information he kept at home."
Xi Siyan's fear reached its peak at this second.
Many people knew Chen Mo's whereabouts, but not many could predict that he would go to the company tonight. If Chen Mo didn't have a fever tonight, he would probably have gone to bed at home.
He was alone, in the house where the fire was raging.
And the nurse in front of him proved one more thing.
“The goal is not data.”
It's Chen Mo's fate.
The atmosphere around them was as frozen as a glacier. The temperature of Xi Siyan's voice made the two bodyguards on the scene subconsciously lower their heads and never dared to raise them again.
