He Zhanhua and Feng Zhiping felt extremely uneasy. Why hadn't the other five returned yet? The two sat on the sofa with their heads down, not saying a word.
Cheng Guangxu looked at Zhang Hongmei sitting there and decided it was best not to say anything and wait and see. He had witnessed the three of them's disgraceful behavior and was furious at their incompetence. He had told them not to go, but they still went; now look what happened! How could they be so brainless?
Ten minutes later, Wang Xinyi came out. She gave Zhang Hongmei a wink, then turned and went back inside.
Zhang Hongmei had no choice but to go in, even if she was too lazy to look.
"Hongmei, I just gave them water and wiped them with cold water, but I don't think it's very effective."
"Let's wait until Mr. Zhao brings the doctor back before we talk about it. We don't know what's going on, and it wouldn't be good if we got it wrong."
“Hongmei, I understand. You can go now. If Shouyi knew I showed you these things, he would probably be angry, but there’s nothing I can do now that this has happened.”
"Well, you decide what to do. I don't think they need to see a doctor. Just let them suffer like this, so they'll learn their lesson later." Zhang Hongmei finished speaking and left the room without looking at the three people on the bed.
Wang Xinyi sighed as she looked at the closed door. Miao Xinyue cautiously asked her, "Aunt Wang, is Hongmei angry?"
Wang Xinyi shook her head. "She won't be angry, but I guess she won't be too nice to the three of them in the future. Hongmei has an upright temper, cough! These three naive girls. Girls should be smart, how can they be so stupid? You two are more sensible and can listen to other people's advice."
"Aunt Wang, we are also very scared, especially after seeing the state of the three of them. We almost regret our curiosity back then. If Hongmei hadn't stopped us, we probably would have ended up like this too." Miao Xinyue patted her chest after saying this, looking very frightened.
Zhao Yuetong nodded in agreement, "That's terrifying, how could it be so evil?"
"You two remember, no matter what happens around you, you must restrain yourselves and be more careful. We are now thousands of miles away from home. If something really happens, we will be helpless."
You must have a sense of crisis. I lived in this country for five years before, and you may not believe it, but in those five years I never left early and returned late, never went out alone, and never accepted any kindness from anyone.
How could you possibly know what sinister intentions lay beneath his good intentions? There's no such thing as a free lunch; don't trust people who are kind to you for no reason.
The three people lying on the bed were too ashamed to open their eyes. They could hear everyone's words, but Jiang Mingyan was terrified. If it weren't for her encouragement, Dong Yuping and Wang Minxia wouldn't have come with her. Now that this had happened, she guessed no one would talk to her anymore.
There were more than ten people who came with him, but none of them seemed willing to associate with him anymore.
There's also Zhang Hongmei. I've always looked down on her, but I was just jealous of her. However, at the most crucial moment, she was the one who found someone to save me. Although it was a bit presumptuous of me, and I might have wanted to save someone else, I benefited from it after all. If something had really happened, I would probably have only one way out: death.
Jiang Mingyan knew in her heart that Zeng Zhongkang would not have shown up if it weren't for Zhang Hongmei's instructions.
Now she understands things very clearly, more clearly than ever before. She can't stop crying with regret.
Half an hour later, Zhao Tiancheng and his group returned, followed by a car.
Wang Xinyi accompanied the doctor into the room. However, Zhang Hongmei did not go in; she just sat on the sofa without saying a word. Even Cheng Guangxu did not dare to disturb her, for fear of suffering an undeserved misfortune.
Although there were more than ten people in the living room, it was unusually quiet; no one made a sound. Zhao Tiancheng sat down and started talking to Zhang Hongmei.
"I asked the doctor on the way. This drug is quite potent. He doesn't have an antidote. He can only give me a sedative."
"I'll go ask them if they're willing to do it, just in case there are any consequences and we get blamed." Zhang Hongmei stood up and went into the house.
She stood by the bed, looking at the three of them, "The doctor will explain everything to you in a little while. You can decide for yourselves whether you want to or not."
After speaking, she turned around and spoke with the doctor. The doctor nodded knowingly, then explained the dangers of the drug and whether there was an antidote. The only option was to administer a sedative.
Zhang Hongmei didn't stay in the house, but turned around and left. Now she wasn't angry anymore. They weren't people she cared about. She had already done more than enough by taking them in and finding them a doctor.
After the doctor finished speaking, Wang Xinyi, fearing they might not understand, translated it for them: "Nod if you agree to the sedative injection, shake your head if you disagree."
All three nodded. After all, it was too painful, and there was no other good way to deal with it.
When the doctor came out, Zhao Tiancheng paid the bill and saw him out.
Zhang Hongmei stood up and said, "Alright, you guys go back now. Remember to come pick up the three of them tomorrow." Then she turned and went upstairs.
The people in the living room looked at each other, a little scared. Were they just going to abandon them?
No one moved. Kong Yushun had dealt with Zhang Hongmei in the student union and knew that this was a serious matter.
"Aunt Wang, please put in a good word for us with Zhang Hongmei. We were just curious, we never imagined that human nature could be so wicked."
Han Guangtai also spoke up, "Yes, Aunt Wang, please help us talk to her. With this lesson learned, we will definitely not make the same mistake again."
Yan Dongming said self-deprecatingly, "We're not young anymore, yet we're not as composed as a little girl. We've even forgotten why we came here. And when the incident happened just now, I heard the person who kidnapped me say that they were going to take us away. I don't know what taking us away means, but I figured we wouldn't survive anyway."
The living room fell even quieter. Everyone was drenched in a cold sweat. Even if they died here, who could avenge them? And even if they did, what good would it do? They were already dead.
Wang Xinyi sighed, "I will. Hongmei is angry right now."
At this moment, Zeng Zhongkang came out, looking down at the people sitting on the sofa, "Do you think I would have gone to save you if Zhang Hongmei hadn't asked me to?"
Zhao Haozheng also stepped forward, saying, "Yes, if we hadn't felt sorry for her, a girl, and stepped in, I really wouldn't have intervened. You can try it if you don't believe me. I've lived here for fifteen or sixteen years and I've rarely attended gatherings like this. You guys really have guts."
