Chapter 498: I Will Make Them Pay the Price
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The topic of their discussion returned back to Rick.
“Hmph! Does he think I can’t do anything to him if he sneaks away? I’ll let my robots continue tracking him down first before sending Little Loli over.
Little Loli has a scent detection device installed and even if he were to escape to the ends of the Earth, she would be able to locate him. However… should we clean up those from Country D’s embassy?”
“I will make them pay the price.”
Since those people had found gangsters to attack them, he could also find men to launch a sneak attack. It just so happens that the killers he hired earlier had arrived in the capital these days.
The two of them soon came to where Dou Xiangling and Zhang Hanyu were.
Dou Xiangling was standing next to the car while Zhang Hanyu sat inside.
As soon as Dou Xiangling saw Zi Yi making her way over, she went up and said with a worried expression, “Yiyi, are you alright?”
She then looked at Lu Jingye and she was frightened by his chilly gaze.
“This is… the Third Young Master Lu?”
Zi Yi replied on his behalf, “Yes.”
“How’s Teacher Zhang?”
“Shadow gave him basic emergency treatment. I’ll send him to the hospital shortly.”
Zi Yi noticed that Dou Xiangling’s expression was different compared to before when she said that. She subconsciously looked at Zhang Hanyu who had his eyes closed as he leaned against the chair. “Send Teacher Zhang to the hospital first.”
The news of a brawl happening on XX road was only spread out after Zi Yi and her group left. Soon, a large group of reporters made their way over.
However, by the time they arrived, the place had returned to its original appearance.
Zhang Hanyu’s injuries were not considered too severe. After they sent him to the First Hospital, the doctors directly sent him to the emergency treatment room out of consideration for Zi Yi.
There were family members of other patients on that floor.
However, Lu Jingye and a few bodyguards had surrounded them and the members of the public dared not stare in their direction.
Zi Yi and the doctor conversed for a while.
After she finished conversing with the doctor, Zi Yi turned around and looked at Dou Xiangling who had a complicated expression. “Cousin, there’s no need to worry. Teacher Zhang’s injuries aren’t severe and his operation will end very soon.”
Dou Xiangling looked at Zi Yi and opened her mouth with the intention to say something. However, she did not know what to say and could only nod her head.
Just then, Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling’s phone rang at the same time.
The call was from the Dou Family.
Zi Yi’s call was from Dou Jingning and he asked about the current situation over the phone. Zi Yi simply told him, “Eldest Uncle, it’s hard to explain the situation over the phone.”
Dou Jingning guessed that there must be outsiders around her and so, he said, “Come home early later on.”
Zi Yi responded with an ‘ok’. After hanging up the phone, she looked towards Dou Xiangling who was currently on the phone with the Third Madam.
Dou Xiangling continuously assured her that she was fine and in the end, she mentioned Zhang Hanyu’s name.
The Third Madam seemed to have said something to her and Dou Xiangling responded with an ‘ok’ before she hung up the phone.
Dou Xiangling put away her phone and looked up, only to make eye contact with Zi Yi. She then said with a complicated expression on her face, “My Mother told me to bring him home after Teacher Zhang’s injuries recover, so that they can thank him personally.”
Zi Yi opened her mouth but ended up not saying anything and nodded her head instead.
Just then, Lu Jingye who just ended his call came over and said to Zi Yi, “I have something on and I’ll be leaving first.”
Zi Yi hastily said, “I’ll send you off.”
Lu Jingye nodded his head.
They did not take the elevator but instead, walked down the stairs.
When they entered the stairwell, Zi Yi threw out two circular balls, one upstairs and one downstairs. “My Eldest Uncle is asking us to head over early. Teacher Zhang’s operation will most likely take an hour or more. After his operation ends, we’ll head over to my grandfather’s place.”
“Okay.”
“What are you going to do now?”
“I have to settle some stuff.”
“Okay… We’ll meet in the neighborhood near my grandfather’s place then.”
“Okay.”
Zi Yi sent Lu Jingye downstairs and took the lift up again.
She came to Dou Xiangling’s side and sat on the chair next to hers. She originally planned to wait for Zhang Hanyu to come out together with Dou Xiangling.
However, the news of her arrival in the hospital soon spread around. Not long after she had sat down, Deputy Pang came looking for her. “Little Zi, why didn’t you inform us of your arrival? Let’s go, come to my office to have a seat.”
Everyone looked at the both of them with an intrigued gaze.
Zi Yi promised that she would occasionally drop by, but she did not expect her schedule to be so full. Since Deputy Pang had come looking for her, obviously she would not reject him. She then looked at Dou Xiangling and said, “Cousin, when Teacher Zhang comes out from the operation room, give me a call.”
Dou Xiangling nodded in response.
Zi Yi left with Deputy Pang.
When they entered the lift, Deputy Pang was grumbling. “Your words don’t hold any credibility at all. Didn’t you say that you would come over to the First Hospital’s medical apparatus room to play whenever you were available? It has been a few months since you said that.”
Zi Yi responded without feeling the slightest guilt. “I said that I would only come over when I have time, but I have been really very busy these past few months.”
One would know of Zi Yi’s affairs as long as they paid the slightest attention to it. Deputy Pang laughed and said, “Alright then. I shall not blame you any further.”
They chatted while they walked. However, Zi Yi did not expect that there was already a large group of people waiting inside when she reached Deputy Pang’s office.
Deputy Pang was unhappy. “Why are all of you at my office? Get out, go go go…”
One of the senior doctors replied without the slightest trace of politeness, “We’re here to look for Little Zi, not you.”
…
Zhang Hanyu’s operation lasted for over two hours and Dou Xiangling called Zi Yi afterwards.
Zi Yi knew that someone must have done something in the process, to have prolonged the operation time.
She looked at the group of doctors and said, “I have to go.”
“Why are you leaving so early? Little Zi, you have yet to check out the medical apparatus. We have just imported a few new medical apparatuses.”
“I’ll come over when I have time in the future.”
The others also tried to ask her to stay, but she ended up repeating her words. “I’ll come over when I have time in the future.”
Zi Yi directly made her way to the inpatient area.
Zhang Hanyu was already in the ward by the time she arrived. Evidently, Dou Xiangling had gone downstairs to purchase some toiletries and while she was tidying the place, she asked what else he needed.
Zhang Hanyu looked at her with a pair of gentle and smiling eyes as he asked, “Has anyone said that you will definitely be a good wife and mother in the future?”
Dou Xiangling’s face flushed red in response.
Zhang Hanyu fell into a daze at her reaction.
Just then, Dou Xiangling saw Zi Yi and called out to her, “Yiyi.”
Zi Yi walked in and checked Zhang Hanyu’s medical record and the fluid that was infused into him through the needle. “Teacher Zhang can be discharged from the hospital after receiving an infusion for a week.”
Zhang Hanyu put his hands behind his head and said, “I wish that I can leave right away. It’s too boring to stay here in the hospital.”
Dou Xiangling felt guilty. He had been hospitalized due to her the previous time and she did not visit often, as she had to make preparations for the start of the semester. This time around, she would have to visit often no matter what and so, she said, “I’ll come to accompany you during the day.”
“You have lessons, there’s no need for the trouble.” Zhang Hanyu did not agree to it. “I’m only staying here for a few days. It would be fine for you to visit when there are no lessons.”
Zi Yi looked at the interaction between the two of them and all of a sudden, she sensed that the atmosphere between them seemed to have changed.
A strange feeling swelled up in her heart.
