Chapter 178
Wen Jiafei’s voice was still a bit hoarse, looking like he just woke up.
Shen Shuyu looked back at him, just in time to see Wen Jiafei sitting up. He said “Hey hey hey” several times. “I’ll crank the bed up for you.”
“No need, I’m fine,” Wen Jiafei said.
They came to the hospital just to check their bodies, but Shen Yisi insisted on opening three wards for them to check inside and out, so he couldn’t leave.
“Good that you’re fine.” Shen Shuyu simply sat down by his bed too.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit weird. Shen Shuyu coughed lightly and asked, “Do you want water?”
Wen Jiafei shook his head. “No thanks.”
“Oh.” Shen Shuyu didn’t know what to say again.
He thought for a moment. “By the way, do you want to tell Auntie not to go back tonight?”
Wen Jiafei said, “I can go back later. I’m not reassured with her home alone.”
Although they had moved to a rental with a higher safety index, Wen Jiafei was still worried. After all, people who made him uncomfortable often appeared around the residential complex recently.
Shen Shuyu said “Oh.” “Fine. Then when will your report come out?”
They did checks as soon as they came in. Some reports were out; some weren’t.
Wen Jiafei said, “Dr. Yue said it would be out before 8 PM at the latest.”
Shen Shuyu nodded. “That’s okay, not too late.”
Wen Jiafei nodded. “Yes.”
Silence fell between the two again. Shen Shuyu coughed lightly. “Then rest well. I’ll go back to rest too.”
“Mn.” Wen Jiafei watched him stand up. Just then, the terminal beside him rang. He turned his head and reached for it.
Shen Shuyu caught a glimpse of his glands.
Shen Shuyu said, “Wen Jiafei, why are your glands red? Is something wrong?”
Wen Jiafei was about to check the terminal. Hearing Shen Shuyu’s question, he instinctively covered his neck. “Nothing.”
He looked at Shen Shuyu again. “Go back and rest.”
Shen Shuyu pursed his lips. “Oh, okay. Remember to see a doctor.”
Wen Jiafei: “Okay, I will.”
Shen Shuyu turned around, revealing a chagrined expression. Sometimes, he forgot how private glands were in this world.
Only after Shen Shuyu left did Wen Jiafei put down his hand. He checked the terminal first; it was a message from Wen Yue, saying the shop owner was treating them to dinner today, so she would be home a bit later too.
With Wen Yue’s illness, as long as she crossed that hurdle, everything would develop in a good direction.
He lowered his head and replied “Okay,” then thought about what Shen Shuyu said just now.
Recently, his glands indeed felt a bit hot often. Wen Jiafei got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. In a high-end ward, even the bathroom was luxurious.
He stood in front of the mirror, twisting his head, only seeing a little bit of the gland. But just as Shen Shuyu said, it was a bit red.
But previously when checking, the doctor didn’t find any cause.
Could it be that he underwent secondary differentiation?
Impossible. His glands had been destroyed for many years; there was absolutely no possibility of secondary differentiation.
Wen Jiafei thought gloomily, but he still had to pay more attention to this problem.
After Wen Jiafei’s report came out, he left early because he received a message from Wen Yue asking him to go back early to feed Meimei.
Shen Shuyu sat alone in the ward’s sofa, bored out of his mind. Wen Jiafei left, Shen Yisi and Shen Xili hadn’t returned from the police station, and his report hadn’t come out. Staying here alone was really a bit boring.
He leaned his head against the sofa back, staring at the ceiling with open eyes. The next second, he sensed irregular fluctuations in the air and immediately realized something. He sat up straight abruptly, but the next second, a vortex appeared in front of him. A hand reached out from the vortex, grabbed his collar, and yanked him in viciously.
When he came back to his senses, he was already face to face with Black Robe.
Black Robe looked much paler and more disheveled now.
Shen Shuyu stared at him. Wasn’t it said that Black Robe was caught? Why was he here?
Black Robe seemed to guess his thoughts. He spat and said gloomily, “Kid, my vortex space isn’t for show.”
His hand gripped Shen Shuyu’s collar tightly, looking like he wanted to tear him into ten thousand pieces.
Shen Shuyu was forced to look up. He said, “Even if you catch me, it’s useless. The thing you want isn’t on me.”
Black Robe said, “Doesn’t matter. With you, I’m not afraid I won’t get what I want.”
His finger lightly traced Shen Shuyu’s face. “No wonder the God of War gave you such an important thing for free. This appearance of yours really has something. Say, if I peel off your skin and throw it in front of them, what expression would they have?”
Shen Shuyu turned his face away. “Pervert.”
“Yes, in our organization, normal people can’t survive.” Black Robe laughed loudly thinking of something. “I will not only peel your skin off, but I will also make Shen Xili kneel in front of me and kowtow.”
“How about burning three sticks of incense for you too?” Shen Shuyu retorted expressionlessly. “You’ll like it.”
Black Robe’s other hand switched to pinching his neck. “You’d better not challenge my patience.”
Shen Shuyu grabbed his arm, trying to remove his hand, but Black Robe’s hand was like pliers, tight, making it hard for him to breathe.
He must have calculated that he was in the hospital and the swiss army knife had long been handed over to Shen Yisi. Now unarmed, it was really hard to deal with Black Robe.
Black Robe watched his face turn red from difficulty breathing, in a great mood, but he couldn’t really kill him. He took a deep breath and threw Shen Shuyu on the ground.
Shen Shuyu took a few deep breaths and looked up at Black Robe. Black Robe said, “Let’s go.”
Shen Shuyu stood up. Watching the moment Black Robe turned around, he chopped down fiercely with his palm. But when it was only a finger’s width away from his neck, his hand seemed to hit invisible gas. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t chop down at all.
Black Robe didn’t even look back. “This is my space. If I don’t want it, you can’t touch even a corner of my clothes.”
And the first time Shen Shuyu held him hostage, it was nothing more than tricking him for fun.
Shen Shuyu withdrew his hand and followed behind him. He was still calling the System in his mind, but the System didn’t respond at all, probably because this was a private system.
No wonder. Before, asking the System to check Shen Xili’s traces yielded nothing. It was because Black Robe used his own magnetic field.
Truly cunning!
Shen Shuyu had no choice now but to follow him. He could only take it one step at a time.
Yue Cheng pushed open Shen Shuyu’s ward holding the report. Seeing no one on the bed, he shouted toward the bathroom, “Xiao Yu, your report is out.”
No one answered.
“Xiao Yu?”
Yue Cheng walked over in confusion. Getting closer, he realized the bathroom door was only ajar. He pushed it open; there was no one inside.
Strange, where did the person go? Didn’t they agree he would take him to eat?
Yue Cheng took out his terminal intending to call Shen Shuyu, but the ringtone rang on the sofa. He walked quickly over to pick up the terminal, his eyelids twitching fiercely, having an ominous premonition.
After hanging up the call to Shen Shuyu, he prepared to dial Wen Jiafei’s number, but stopped just as he was about to dial. Wen Jiafei had said goodbye to him when he left; he left alone. If Shen Shuyu wanted to follow him out to play or eat, he would definitely tell him. After all, having caused trouble today, he would definitely behave for a while.
Then where did the person go?
Thinking about it, Yue Cheng held Shen Shuyu’s terminal and dialed Shen Yisi while walking out. Shen Yisi picked up after one ring.
Before Yue Cheng could speak, he heard Shen Yisi say anxiously, “Yue Cheng, go check if Xiao Yu is in the ward quickly. That person escaped.”
That person, Yue Cheng naturally knew who it was.
He looked down at the terminal in his hand, his tone dry. “Xiao Yu… is gone.”
