Zhang Xuetao knew that he had a fever. Although his consciousness was blurry, he could feel a hand gently stroking his forehead, constantly changing towels and applying ice to him, and feeding him water, which finally allowed him to sleep soundly for two hours.
When Zhang Xuetao opened his eyes, he found himself in a low kitchen, but there was a sleeping person in his arms. He moved slightly and the other person woke up.
Yun Siyu got up embarrassedly, smoothed her messy hair, and then said:
"Are you awake? Do you still feel uncomfortable?"
After saying that, he touched Zhang Xuetao's forehead and tested his body temperature.
"I'm much better now, thank you! You stayed up all night taking care of me last night, thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Xuetao's voice was a little hoarse, but he still thanked politely.
"You are my patient, so of course I have to take good care of you. I will go find Brother Zheng and ask him to make some rice porridge for you to eat first to fill your stomach.
I'll go outside and check the situation. If no one is watching nearby, I'll find a way to notify your family. To be on the safe side, you should stay out of the public eye for the time being."
Yun Siyu said with clear thoughts.
"Okay, I'll give you my home phone number."
Zhang Xuetao readily told Yun Siyu the number.
Yun Siyu repeated it once, and after confirming that it was correct, she put on her coat and opened the kitchen door.
Because it rained last night, the sun had not risen completely in the early morning and there was still a hint of chill. She shrank her shoulders, went to the main room to say hello to Brother Zheng's family, and then left early.
She knew that Zhang Xuetao had been missing all night and Marshal Zhang must be looking for him, so her life-saving grace this time was particularly important.
She walked out of the alley slowly, looked around as if looking for something to eat, then stopped directly in front of a breakfast stand selling wontons, ordered a bowl of wontons, and ate it slowly. After she felt warm after eating, she went to a telephone booth.
Her first call was not to the Zhang family, but to the church hospital. The person who answered the phone happened to be the nurse who was on duty last night, and she talked to her before leaving.
"Siyu, why did you come back last night? Why didn't I see you?"
"Lili, because it rained last night, I stayed at Brother Zheng's house. His child's wound was a little inflamed, and I was worried, so I didn't go back last night.
I originally wanted to call you to tell you, but you know, there is no telephone booth here, and I didn’t dare go out alone in the rain, so I called you early in the morning.
Please find someone to swap shifts with me. I got caught in the rain and feel a little uncomfortable. I can't work during the day. I want to switch to the night shift. If anyone is willing to swap shifts with me, I will take their place for a day next time."
"Okay, I get it. Then you should have a good rest during the day. I'll go ask them if you're willing to take over the day shift. They'll definitely agree."
After the two ended their call, Yun Siyu dialed the familiar number.
"Hello, who is this?"
A deep voice came from the phone.
"Hello, I'm Xue Tao's friend. I happened to see him being chased by someone yesterday, so I hid him temporarily. The address is the fifth house on the second entrance of Yumi Lane, Nanning Port. The owner's surname is Zheng. Please come and pick him up.
Because I don't know if there are still people around who were chasing him last night, so please try to keep a low profile and don't bring trouble to Brother Zheng's family who took Xue Tao in. "
After Yun Siyu finished speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to answer.
After doing all this, she did not return to the Zheng family. She knew that Zhang Xuetao would be out of danger at dawn, so she went straight back to the church hospital. As for the medicine box, she left it there on purpose to give Zhang Xuetao a reason to look for her again.
Yun Siyu returned to the church hospital and finally relaxed her tense nerves, and immediately went to meet Zhou Gong.
On the other side, Butler Zhang, who answered the phone, immediately went to find Zhang Fenglin to explain the situation.
"It's better to believe it than not. Send someone in plain clothes to bring Xue Tao back as soon as possible if it's true."
"Yes, Marshal! Do we need to tell Marshal Duan about this?"
The butler asked carefully.
"No, if we can't handle this kind of thing, it would make us seem incompetent. We can fight back only after Xue Tao comes back and find out who did it."
"Yes, Marshal!"
Butler Zhang immediately went to select people to pick up the young master.
In Marshal Duan's mansion, Duan Zongqing also received the news, especially the information from the Second Aunt was more detailed. They talked about the fate of Yun Siyu and Zhang Xuetao while having breakfast.
"It's a coincidence that she encountered this."
Duan Zongqing said calmly.
"Anyway, the people I sent out to follow her felt that Yun Siyu seemed to know something. After leaving the Zheng family, she did not immediately return to the church hospital. Instead, she stayed at the Nanning Port for an hour, as if she was waiting for someone."
Xia Xin was eating steamed dumplings while talking about the news she had received.
"I think she and Zhang Xuetao had an appointment at the Nanning Port. It's just that Zhang Xuetao was unlucky and was targeted by someone."
Dong Qing finished drinking the lotus seed soup and immediately spoke up.
"No matter what, Zhang Xuetao can't get into trouble in my territory. I still have to go and ask him."
Duan Zongqing has a big appetite and is still eating steamed buns.
"Father, don't worry. His life is definitely saved, he is just injured. As his soon-to-be-engaged wife, I will definitely come to visit him. But if you send someone to ask now, it will seem that we are monitoring Marshal Zhang's temporary residence, which will arouse suspicion."
Lian Yi wiped the corner of his mouth and said.
"Okay, let's listen to Lianyi. If they don't tell us, we'll just pretend we don't know. But if those who took action dare to cause trouble in my territory, I will never let them go."
After breakfast, Duan Zongqing left the Marshal's Mansion to gather people to investigate the identities of the killers.
Zhang Fenglin's men successfully picked up their young master according to the address given by Yun Siyu, and then left some money to Zheng Wu and took Zhang Xuetao back to his residence in a low-key manner.
Zhang Fenglin looked at his son who looked a little haggard and immediately arranged for a doctor to check his wound. He was relieved only after the doctor confirmed that there was nothing serious and he just needed to rest.
"Although Young Master Zhang was shot, the bullet was removed in time and the wound was treated with anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs, so Young Master did not get infected. It was obvious that it was handled by an expert.
Now I have treated the wound again, and the rest is to take good care of myself, pay attention to the diet, and eat some medicated food that replenishes blood and qi."
The doctor said in front of both of them.
"Tao'er, you have met a noble person this time. You should bring more people with you when you go out next time."
"Yes, father. It was because I was not careful enough that I was plotted against. Fortunately, I met a nurse friend of mine."
After the doctor left, Zhang Xuetao roughly recounted what happened last night, and of course he also emphasized Yun Siyu from the church hospital.
Zhang Fenglin frowned after hearing what his son said, and then reminded:
"Although she is your friend and saved you, you are about to get engaged to Lianyi. You can't make any mistakes at this critical moment. Do you understand what I mean?" (End of this chapter)
