Chapter 29 Feigning Illness Backfires, Leading to Poisoning
Lin Cheng shook his head: "No, why don't you let Aunt Zheng go back first?"
"Wait a little longer, keep an eye on it!"
"yes."
Seeing Lin Cheng obediently run off to eavesdrop again, Murong Ting felt a throbbing pain in his head.
My son is so good at going against me. If he had put all his energy into something else, he would have become a great man long ago!
In the bedroom.
Murong Chen's willpower was gradually being exhausted.
He had been lying in bed all day without moving, but he still felt so hungry he was about to faint!
Aunt Zheng, who had just reheated the porridge and vegetables next to him, began to wave enthusiastically at him again.
Every dish was one of his favorites!
After watching it for a while, he couldn't resist any longer and, as if possessed, finally got up.
Or, how about just a sip?
There's so much porridge, surely no one will notice if I just take a sip!
Murong Chen licked his lips and cautiously approached the bowl of porridge.
Yeah, just one bite, it'll definitely be fine!
He made up his mind, picked up the spoon gently, afraid that the people outside would hear the sound.
The moment he took a small sip, he almost burst into tears.
Wow, this tastes so good!
The various types of rice in the porridge were cooked until soft and tender, and the sweetness of the honey was refreshing. Only after taking a bite did he feel like he had come back to life!
He took one bite and then another, and in just a few minutes, he finished the whole bowl of porridge!
It wasn't until he swallowed the last drop that Murong Chen realized, "Oh my god, how did I finish it all?"
Looking at the smooth bowl, Murong Chen fell into a daze.
Oh no, that's so pathetic!
Waaaaah...
His integrity is worthless!
He was extremely annoyed and turned his gaze to the side dishes next to him.
Forget it, we've already eaten it all, might as well go all the way and finish it all!
Aunt Zheng is right, health is the foundation of everything.
If you don't eat your fill, how will you have the energy to outwit and outmaneuver the King of Hell?
He was eating and drinking to his heart's content, unaware that his every move was being watched by "observer" Lin Cheng.
He rushed to the study, excitedly exclaiming, "Young Master Ting, the young master has eaten!"
Murong Ting breathed a sigh of relief and snorted, "You brat, I thought you were so tough!"
Lin Cheng: "..."
You're just being arrogant. I wonder who was so worried they couldn't even concentrate on their book just now!
"Young Master Ting, shall I have Aunt Zheng go back first?"
"Yes, the young master likes her cooking. Tell her to come again tomorrow morning."
"Okay!"
Lin Cheng excitedly went to inform Aunt Zheng, adding beforehand, "When you come tomorrow morning, go to the market. The young master likes to eat fresh yellow croaker, so bring some with you."
"Okay, okay, no problem," Aunt Zheng quickly replied.
Once outside, Aunt Zheng immediately took out her phone and, with trembling hands, sent a message: 【It's done!】
The other end replied: "Okay, now do as I say..."
...
On the 26th floor, Kong Chi was reading in his small study.
His watch phone rang, and he put down his book to open it. He immediately saw a message from his younger brother: "Brother Chi, the hunger strike plan failed o(╥﹏╥)o, my body can't take it anymore. I'll try to win over Daddy later!"
Kong Chi smiled at his expression and replied, "It's okay. Anyway, Mommy hasn't received the money or the agreement, so she won't move out or get a divorce anytime soon. We can take it slow!"
The other side quickly replied: "Thanks to Brother Chi, Brother Chi is yyds (forever a god)!"
Kong Chi's smile became even more genuine.
He had known for a long time that he had a twin brother, but he never imagined that his brother would have this kind of personality.
Lively, happy, and healthy.
That's so gratifying.
Once their plan succeeds, he will immediately tell his mother and sister that he has found his younger brother; they will be so happy!
Twenty-seventh floor.
After sending a message to Kong Chi, Murong Chen crawled back into bed to sleep.
Although I stayed in bed all day today, I couldn't fall asleep because I was too hungry.
Now that he had eaten and drunk his fill, he felt extremely satisfied.
He closed his eyes and gradually drifted off to sleep.
However, as he fell asleep, he felt cold all over.
In his dream, he seemed to have entered a snow-covered mountain cave, surrounded by desolate wilderness, and he wanted to leave but couldn't find his way out.
Where's Daddy? Where's Mommy? Where's Chi-ge and Sister?
Where did they all go?
Waaaaah, he's in so much pain, someone please save him!
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Lin Cheng came in to clear away the dishes.
Seeing that he had already fallen asleep, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile.
They're still just kids. They fall asleep as soon as they're full, not caring that their dad is furious. They're so carefree.
However, just as he turned to leave, he seemed to hear a sobbing sound coming from under the covers.
He paused for a moment, then walked towards the bed.
Upon seeing this, he was immediately startled.
Inside the blankets, Murong Chen had already curled up into a small ball.
His face was streaked with tears, his eyes were closed, his brows were furrowed, and he looked like he was freezing cold; his teeth were chattering.
Lin Cheng was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He quickly threw the bowl and chopsticks aside and stumbled to the study.
In the study, Murong Ting had already settled down to deal with his work.
Lin Cheng pushed open the door and stammered, "Young Master Ting, please go and see the young master. He seems to be sick!"
Murong Ting glanced at Lin Cheng speechlessly: "Is he planning to use the same old trick again?"
Lin Cheng was stunned and confused.
The young master's expression... was he faking it again?
But that was too convincing!
"No, Young Master Ting, I think the young master is acting really strange! You should go and check on him!"
Murong Ting impatiently shut down his computer and stood up: "If I find out he's faking it again, he won't escape a beating today!"
The two of them went into the children's room together.
Murong Ting turned on the light, stepped forward, and yanked the blanket off Murong Chen: "Murong Chen, get up, if you keep pretending to be sick I'll..."
Murong Ting's words caught in his throat the moment he saw Murong Chen on the bed.
He was tiny, with his eyes tightly closed, his forehead covered in sweat, his face almost bloodless, and his whole body trembling.
No matter how hard you try, you can't fake it like this.
Murong Ting reached out and touched Murong Chen's forehead—it was burning hot.
Lin Cheng was extremely anxious: "Young Master Ting, the young master is really in pain!"
"I saw it!" Murong Ting's face was so dark it could drip ink. "Go call Dr. Zhao and tell him to get here within twenty minutes!"
"Okay, I'll go right now!"
When Dr. Zhao arrived, Murong Chen was being held in Murong Ting's arms.
He was small and had lost consciousness. His head was hot, but his hands and feet were cold. He kept calling for his daddy while crying. He was so pitiful.
Dr. Zhao quickly stepped forward and said, "Young Master Ting, put the child down so I can take a look."
"He keeps saying he's cold." Murong Ting frowned and put Murong Chen down, letting Dr. Zhao begin the examination.
Dr. Zhao first took her temperature, then checked her heart and lungs with a stethoscope, and then began to examine her body.
During the process, Murong Ting waited anxiously by the side, his eyes never daring to leave the child.
Not long after, Dr. Zhao got up and said, "Young Master Ting, we can't find anything too serious. The young master's high fever is most likely caused by catching a cold. How about I give him an IV to reduce the fever first, and we'll see how it goes after tonight?"
