After finishing his phone call with his father, Xu Tingchuan drove to the hospital.
The bamboo shoots did have some effect on him; his back was itching unbearably.
I went to the hospital for an injection and bought some topical ointment, but the itching didn't subside anytime soon.
He called Pei Yang and told him he was coming over.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Tingchuan drove directly to the villa area in the south of the city.
Pei Yang, wearing pajamas and yawning, opened the door for Xu Tingchuan.
"Why did you suddenly think of my place?" Pei Yang opened the door, turned around and walked into the house, showing no intention of greeting Xu Tingchuan.
Xu Tingchuan didn't stand on ceremony. He changed into the guest slippers and went inside, saying, "I'm going to stay here for the afternoon."
As he spoke, he took off his clothes, saying that his body was itchy and that wearing clothes made him even more uncomfortable.
Pei Yang took water from the kitchen and saw that Xu Tingchuan was already shirtless. He widened his eyes in surprise and exclaimed, "Hey, hey, I don't have that kind of fetish. Hurry up and put your clothes back on!"
Xu Tingchuan walked over, took the water from his hand, unscrewed the cap, and tilted his head back to drink.
Pei Yang narrowed his eyes, looking at the red spots on his arm, and sensed something was wrong. "What happened to you?"
"Li Rui." Xu Tingchuan finished drinking the water and uttered these two words in a calm voice.
Pei Yang's expression turned serious, and he frowned: "He has this ability?"
Xu Tingchuan walked to the sofa, sat down, and took another sip of water.
Pei Yang walked over, his eyes darkening slightly, and said seriously, "Should we just find someone to..."
Xu Tingchuan glanced at Pei Yang and smirked, "Do you think we're like him, capable of using any means necessary without restraint?"
“We have to think of a way.” Pei Yang understood Xu Tingchuan’s concerns. The Xu family was involved in politics, so they had to consider many things. So many people were eyeing this position, and they couldn’t leave even the slightest bit of a handle that could cause criticism.
"The only way to deal with someone like him is through strategy." Xu Tingchuan narrowed his eyes slightly; he hadn't yet come up with a specific method.
"Let's set a trap, then have the police investigate him. It could be drug trafficking or smuggling, and we can send him back to jail," Pei Yang suggested.
“If only it were that simple. You’ve forgotten that this is his old profession from many years ago. He knows the ins and outs of this much better than we do.” Xu Tingchuan rejected Pei Yang’s suggestion.
Pei Yang thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. People of their status and position would be hesitant to make a move against someone.
"Why don't we wait for Mu Zhi to come back?" Pei Yang felt that given Shen Mu Zhi's complicated background, he would definitely have more unique methods than they did.
Xu Tingchuan remained silent, his mind still racing, trying to figure out how to deal with Li Rui.
Pei Yang felt the atmosphere was a bit heavy, and glanced at Xu Tingchuan's shoulders and back again, asking in confusion, "Why don't you go home if you have an allergy?"
"She'll worry," Xu Tingchuan replied calmly. She already felt guilty for giving him that bowl of soup, and if she saw him with such an allergic reaction, she would probably be even more upset.
When Pei Yang heard the name Xu Tingchuan, he was taken aback at first, then realized that it referred to Ni Sitian. He couldn't help but click his tongue twice: "How come I've never seen you so attentive to other women before?"
"You'll understand when you meet her." Xu Tingchuan had never imagined that he would like someone so much, to the point that he would consider her in everything he did, not wanting her to feel even a little bit sad or wronged.
"Alright, stop showing off your love. I know you're happy now." Pei Yang curled his lips. Although he was surprised by Xu Tingchuan's change, he still didn't care much about love.
Living in a family where the grandfather has four wives and the father has countless lovers, talking to him about love? Haha.
