《Once Upon a Time in a Foreign Land》Chapter 133 : Ximen Yixiong

The three of them went back into the house. Yiren and Caihong were still in the room where Zhuge was resting.

"They've been in there for a long time," Zhengyi muttered. "Was it difficult to wake Mr. Zhuge? Could it be that his condition is already so bad?"

A few seconds after Zhengyi finished saying that, Yiren came out of the room. His face looked so tense. About two minutes later, Caihong followed out of the room. His face looked sluggish.

"I think I should take him to the doctor," said Caihong.

"Do you want to go now?" Zhengyi asked while holding a glass.

"But things like this...." It was obvious that Caihong was hesitating.

"You don't have to think about us. There are already police on standby. You just take Zhuge to the hospital as soon as possible," Yixiong said.

Caihong still looked doubtful.

"I'll be on guard here, Sir! Don't worry," said Jingkang.

"Of course you have to be on guard here. If you're not around, what if the kidnappers want to talk to Uncle Duanmu again?" said Caihong.

"All right, Sir." Jingkang's face changed slightly. But he nodded vigorously.

Ah! Maybe he hadn't thought that he might have to do that more than once.

"Xiongge," Qiuzhen joined in. "What if I accompany them to the hospital?"

Uh? Qiuzhen volunteered to help. Perhaps he wants to make sure that Caihong will actually take Zhuge to the hospital. Maybe he is still filled with suspicion for the boy.

If Yixiong's guess was correct, he could understand what was going on in Qiuzhen's mind regarding the matter. Unlike the other occupants of their house, Qiuzhen had never met Caihong before. So he really had no reason to just trust Caihong.

Yiren shook his head. "Out of all of us here, your analytical skills are the best. You'd better be here observing everything from here. So I think you'll be more useful if you're in this house. At least for now." He looked at Yixiong, as if seeking Yixiong's approval.

Yixiong nodded.

Qiuzhen is really smart. But I'm afraid he couldn't hide well what he's thinking.

"Zhengyi, I think you should accompany them to the hospital." Yixiong drew closer to Zhengyi. He tapped his friend's shoulder.

"Okay!" Zhengyi said. "I think it's because I'm the biggest. Isn't that right?"

Yiren smiled. "Of course not. I guess that's because there's no point in you being here. If you're the one who's going, you can at least help Caihong carry Zhuge."

Zhengyi glared at Yiren. Yiren just laughed.

Yixiong turned to look at Caihong. The boy looked confused for a moment. There was a possibility that he was reluctant to trouble Zhengyi. But Zhengyi immediately patted him on the shoulder, laughing.

Yixiong smiled. Then he turned his gaze to Qiuzhen. From the look on Qiuzhen's face, it seemed he was a bit disappointed.

Maybe Qiuzhen wants me to disapprove of Yiren's suggestion.

Yixiong understood that Qiuzhen really wanted to accompany Zhuge to the hospital. Even though he suspected Qiuzhen had suspicions about Caihong, Yixiong still couldn't guess what was really going on in Qiuzhen's mind.

All suspicions must have a basis. Qiuzhen is a very rational person. There must be something he's hiding.

Yixiong realized Qiuzhen was a very smart person. Maybe even a little smarter than Shanquan. He could only hope that whatever Qiuzhen had planned, he would carry it out with great care. Yixiong wanted Qiuzhen to consider all possibilities before taking any action. Whatever the action.

"You'd better get going now. Don't delay any longer." Yixiong glanced at the clock on the wall.

Caihong nodded. "Alright, Uncle."

Zhengyi, Jingkang, and Caihong then went into the room where Zhuge was resting. It wasn't long before they left the room with Zhuge. Caihong's driver's face looked very pale. But he could still walk without the help of others, although he had to trudge.

This is the right decision. We should have taken this person to the hospital since this morning.

"Uncles, we are leaving now," said Caihong.

Yixiong nodded.

Caihong said again. "Regarding the vehicle, Uncles, please don't worry. I will call my assistant to send another car and driver here as soon as possible. As for the person who will draw the sketch of the girl's face, I will also try to call him later. If he can't come this afternoon, maybe tomorrow morning he will show up here."

Qiuzhen and Zhengyi turned to Yixiong.

We don't have to worry about the vehicle anymore.

"No need to rush. Aren't they all busy," said Yiren. "Just focus your efforts on the things that are now a priority."

"It's all right, Uncle. It's an emergency. I'll try to get the car here by four o'clock."

"You don't have to push yourself too hard. We all understand. Don't worry. After all, we are very grateful to you," said Yiren.

They all escorted Caihong, Zhengyi, and Zhuge to the car. Zhuge was still able to smile and thank them all.

"Ah! I almost forgot, Uncle." Caihong opened the trunk of the car. He took several bags from the trunk. Caihong gave Songfei's bag to Yixiong and handed two small bags to Yiren.

"I forgot too," said Yiren. "The incident just now really made us forget the things we should have done right away."

They then helped put the Zhuge into the back seat. Zhengyi sat in the front seat while Caihong started the car. After everything was ready, the vehicle drove away from their house straight away.

"What happened to that person?"
