Two young men immediately stepped forward and carried the sleeping Jiang Xiaowei on their backs.
"Huo Beichen, have your family doctor remove the needle from my nephew's arm," Jiang's mother continued.
Those who do not understand medicine would never dare to remove the silver needles from acupoints.
Before Huo Beichen could give any instructions, Hua Fei stepped forward and raised her hand.
"Ah, ah, my voice, I can speak again..." The man who had been pricked with needles was overjoyed, as if he had been given a second chance at life.
"Go!" Jiang's mother ordered, her expression filled with disgust.
Aren't you ashamed?
The Huo family returned to peace.
Hua Fei took out the syringe from the coffee table drawer, carefully wiped the needles she had just used, and put them back into the syringe one by one.
It's a precious treasure.
“You can’t use this indiscriminately,” Huo Beichen said. “If the Jiang family called the police just now, it will be difficult for you to explain yourself.”
Hua Fei dismissed it: "The police came, what did he say to them? I already removed his needle."
“The Chiang family has many other ways to deal with you,” he continued.
"For example?" Hua Fei asked casually.
Huo Beichen walked up to her, suddenly grabbed her hand holding the needle, and with a forceful twist of his wrist, forced the silver needle in her hand to point at herself.
"The Jiang family can use the needles you used to stab yourself back into yourself."
Hua Fei looked into his cold, deep eyes, her expression full of disdain: "So, you're afraid? You don't even care if someone tries to harm your son?"
"You didn't get anything out of him just now." Huo Beichen sneered.
“Getting evidence isn’t difficult,” Hua Fei said, putting away the syringe. “I will definitely give it to you.”
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Night falls.
She returned to the Lin family home and went straight to Zeze's residence.
As they entered the corridor, they heard Liang Mufan's childish voice, "...Grandma gave these to me. Shall we play with these toys together, little brother?"
"Okay," Zeze replied weakly, "but I can't get up now."
“It’s okay,” Liang Mufan shook his head. “Big brother, I’ll take these toys apart and show them to you.”
In the afternoon, Gu Fanyan took Liang Mufan to see Lin's mother.
Lin's mother prepared a large box of toys, all of which were the most fashionable.
Liang Mufan was especially happy and couldn't wait to share it with Zeze after dinner.
Hua Fei stopped in her tracks, not wanting to enter the room and disturb the pleasant time the two were spending together.
She quietly came downstairs, and the nanny came in carrying a lunchbox.
"Dr. Hua, you're back. I just brought you some food."
"Thank you." After a whole afternoon of running around, Hua Fei was really hungry.
The lunchbox was opened, revealing a variety of dishes including seafood, fried meatballs, sweet and sour pork, and beef.
"You must have been quite busy today to entertain Miss Gu and her son," Hua Fei said, chatting with the nanny as she ate.
The nanny shook her head: "The old lady treats Miss Gu like family, so she eats very carefully, not in large quantities."
"These are all for entertaining Mr. Huo."
Hua Fei's chopsticks were taken aback: "Who?"
The nanny was also puzzled: "Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo."
She wasn't wrong.
Hua Fei involuntarily jumped to his feet. "Huo Beichen is here?"
The nanny nodded: "Yes, yes, that gentleman's name is Huo Beichen. Oh, Dr. Hua, where are you going..."
When Hua Fei arrived at the main building of the villa, coincidentally, Lin Zhibai and Gu Fanyan were just walking out of the villa.
"Dr. Hua," Gu Fanyan spoke first, "You're back. How is Zeze?"
Hua Fei nodded. "He's doing well; he's talking to Little Meatball."
Then she asked, "Miss Gu, has Huo Beichen been here?"
Lin Zhibai and Gu Fanyan exchanged a puzzled look, wondering how Hua Fei knew about this.
Huo Beichen even left early to avoid running into her.
However, now that she already knows, there's no need to hide it anymore.
“Huo Beichen did come,” Gu Fanyan said as she walked alone with Hua Fei toward the small building. “He came to see Zeze.”
Last night, Huo Beichen and Lin Zhibai had a one-way communication.
He was completely relieved only after seeing Zeze safe and sound with his own eyes.
However, he also asked Lin Zhibai not to let Hua Fei know about this.
"Why?" Hua Fei asked, wondering, "Is he plotting something?"
He pretended not to know Zeze was here, but if he secretly sent someone to take Zeze away and then ordered her to hand her over, she would be in deep trouble.
“I don’t think so,” Gu Fanyan interrupted her thoughts. “If he intended to do that, there was no need for him to make it clear to Lin Zhibai.”
"If Zeze is really lost now, the Lin family should bear the most responsibility, not you."
Hua Fei was slightly taken aback, and her cheeks flushed.
Yes, Lin Zhibai isn't afraid to take the risk, but she's the one who's worried.
"I'm sorry, Miss Gu, I didn't mean to involve you."
"There's nothing to apologize for. I saved Zeze, so naturally I have to take full responsibility."
Gu Fanyan looked at her, her beautiful eyes piercingly insightful, "Dr. Hua, you seem to have hostility towards Huo Beichen?"
Hua Fei smiled, concealing the panic in her eyes, "How could that be? He is my employer, my provider."
"That's true. In fact, Huo Beichen's actions show his complete trust in you."
Hua Fei lowered her eyes and remained silent.
A warm current clearly flowed through my heart.
Gu Fanyan gave her a meaningful look and didn't ask any more questions.
Regardless of Hua Fei's motives, she believed Huo Beichen could handle it.
Inside the small building, Zeze and Liang Mufan talked for a long time and were already tired.
Gu Fanyan exchanged a few words of concern with Zeze, and then left with Liang Mufan.
When Hua Fei returned to her room, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Ze Ze was looking at her with a newfound wariness in his eyes.
She smiled slightly: "Zeze, you're feeling much better today, aren't you?"
"Is Jiang Xiaowei trying to harm me?" Zeze suddenly asked.
His eyes held a calmness beyond his years.
It's heartbreaking to see.
His health has improved these past few days, and he should have figured out a lot of things.
Hua Fei stopped hiding it from him and explained the situation clearly.
Suspecting Jiang Xiaowei now is useless, since we can't get any evidence anyway.
“I want to go home,” Zeze suddenly said.
Hua Fei immediately refused, "Jiang Xiaowei would love to eat you alive. You think you can escape once, and then escape a second time?!"
“I need to make her make another move so I can catch her,” Zeze replied.
Hua Fei looked at him in surprise. This child, just like his father, was also a ruthless person!
...
Jiang Xiaowei opened her eyes and felt her head was extremely heavy, her eyes felt like they were filled with lead, heavy and sore.
"Xiao Wei".
She steadied herself and realized that the person calling her name was her mother.
She was lying on her bed in her own room.
"Mom, what's wrong with me?" she asked, her voice hoarse.
“That’s what I should be asking you,” Jiang’s mother said. “When you went to the Huo family that day, and I rushed over with people, you were already fast asleep on the sofa.”
“I brought you back; you’ve been unconscious for two days.”
She saw a doctor, but the doctor couldn't find anything wrong and just told her to sleep until she woke up naturally.
Jiang Xiaowei suddenly remembered and punched the mattress in frustration. "It was her! Hua Fei! She's the one who did it!"
She had witnessed Hua Fei giving people needles, causing them to faint instantly!
Jiang's mother asked in confusion, "Why did she knock you out?"
Jiang Xiaowei thought for a moment, a hint of fear flashing across her face.
