Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Chapter 622

"Master San! Master San, what's wrong with you? Do you need me to call a doctor?"

The driver looked at Wu Xie who was standing there stiffly and hurried over to check the situation.

The driver's shouting instantly attracted the attention of the fat man who was still reading the storybook, but after seeing Wu Xie, Fatty Wang lay back down with a relieved heart.

"Brother, stop shouting! Wu Xie is too embarrassed to face anyone! The whole hospital knows that Wu Xie is in a coma not because of any disease, but because..." Fatty Wang couldn't hold back his laughter any longer.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Fatty Wang's laughter was loud and unbridled, instantly activating Wu Xie who was in a stiff state.

Wu Xie jumped over from the bed, "Fatty Wang, I'm going to strangle you to death!"

Wu Xie rode on Fatty Wang, holding Fatty Wang's neck tightly with both hands. Fatty Wang also cooperated by grabbing Wu Xie's hands and sticking out his tongue.

The driver saw this scene and couldn't stand still anymore! He quickly stepped forward to stop Wu Xie.

"Young Master San, please let go! Fatty is rolling his eyes!" The driver grabbed Wu Xie's hand and pulled it down easily, then hugged the struggling Wu Xie's waist.

Fatty Wang covered his neck, made faces, and stuck out his tongue to laugh at Wu Xie, "Lululu!"

"Hey! Wu Xie, hit me! Hit me!"

Fatty Wang rubbed his neck which had been pinched by Wu Xie just now, and kept provoking Wu Xie who was picked up by the driver.

"Fatty Wang, just wait for me! Sooner or later, I'm going to strangle you to death! When you sleep tonight, you'd better keep both eyes open! If I catch you with your eyes closed, I'll strangle you and you're done for!"

Wu Xie used his hands and feet to try to break free from the driver's iron arms, pointing at Fatty Wang and cursing loudly.

The two of them were so noisy in the ward that they attracted the head nurse who was patrolling the rooms outside.

"What are you two arguing about? This is a hospital, don't you know you should keep quiet? How can you be so lacking in common sense?"

The head nurse looked at the fat one in the ward who was constantly provoking others on the bed, while the thin one was waving his hands and feet wildly trying to break free from the grip of the person behind him.

The head nurse pointed at Fatty Wang and glared at him. She was practically twisting Fatty Wang's ear and playing the doctor's instructions loudly in his ear through a loud speaker. "And you! Fatty Wang, your blood pressure is so high, and you don't take care of yourself. If a blood vessel bursts one day, I'll see what you'll do!"

After seeing Fatty Wang being scolded by the head nurse, Wu Xie's smug expression didn't last long before he felt extremely ashamed.

When the head nurse saw Wu Xie's smug expression, she immediately pointed the finger at him, "I said he didn't say anything about you, did I? You're not that good!"

Fatty Wang and the driver looked at the head nurse with a horrified expression, fearing that she would reveal that Wu Xie was mentally ill.

"You're so tense, the moment you relax you fall asleep! Do you know how bad your health is? After the physical examination, several indicators failed!"

The head nurse naturally knew about Wu Xie's condition and would not tell it to his face. However, Wu Xie's body underwent a simple physical examination while he was asleep, and several items were marked as unqualified.

"My physical examination report failed several items? Impossible! How could my body fail several items?"

Wu Xie thought that he had never had any major illness since he was a child, and he always enjoyed eating. How could he fail in several subjects?

"You still don't believe it! Do you want me to bring you the medical examination report?"

The head nurse put her hands behind her back and looked at Wu Xie with a sharp gaze.

Wu Xie looked at the head nurse who was staring at him, feeling extremely guilty as if he was being stared at by a teacher in school.

"You are a doctor and I am a doctor! Do you understand me better than me? Or does Mr. Wu not trust the medical equipment in our hospital!" The head nurse's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and her face was serious, which made Wu Xie's heart skip a beat and feel weak.

Wu Xie quickly shook his head and waved his hands, saying with an apologetic smile, "No, no! Absolutely not! How could I not trust the hospital's medical equipment? Please don't misunderstand me!"

However, the head nurse didn't seem to be ready to give up. She glared at Wu Xie and continued, "Everyone, be quiet for a while! If I hear any more noise in your ward, don't blame me for switching the large bottles of IV drip to small ones tomorrow and giving you more than ten or twenty bottles!"

After saying that, the head nurse glared at Fatty Wang fiercely again before turning around and leaving the ward.

Watching the head nurse leave, Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief. He patted his chest and muttered softly, "This woman is so scary!"

Fatty Wang, standing by, seemed quite calm. He continued reading his novel without even looking up, saying slowly, "Don't worry. Given your physical condition, if you don't meet the doctor's recommendations, you'll see this woman every day from now on."

Fatty Wang looked at Wu Xie seriously and kindly reminded him, "Wu Xie, let me tell you, you have to be polite to her. Because she has the final say on whether the nurse who'll give you the injection is a novice or an experienced one."

Fatty Wang glanced at Wu Xie's hand as he spoke, revealing a trace of pity. He then added, "Will your hand swell up like a pig's hoof in the coming days, or will it remain as delicate as it is now? That all depends on her mood."

Fatty Wang's words made Wu Xie's heart skip a beat, and he suddenly became frightened.

Seeing this, the driver quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. At least for now, he had successfully fooled Xiao Sanye. It was just a pity for Xiao Sanye. He would probably have to suffer for this lie that everyone told to protect him.

However, the driver changed his mind and remembered that the doctor had said before that the Third Master was not in good health and was not getting enough nutrition. It shouldn't be a big problem to get a few bottles of nutrient solution. He could just think of it as coming to the hospital for recuperation.

Wu Xie sat listlessly on the hospital bed like a deflated ball, mumbling, "Why am I so unlucky! I wouldn't have come to see you if I had known. Now I've come to see you and you've even come to the hospital for me."

When Fatty Wang heard Wu Xie's complaint, he didn't get angry as usual. Instead, he snorted coldly and responded slowly, "Don't worry, even if you didn't come to see me today, you still have to come to the hospital. With your body that has been up all night, if you don't come to the hospital, I think Butler Xu will have to tie you up and bring you here."

After Fatty Wang finished speaking, he put the novel he was reading on the bedside table, then like a lazy big cat, he pulled the quilt over his head and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Wu Xie was furious. He stared at Fatty Wang, who was buried in the quilt, as if he could see through him. However, Fatty Wang completely ignored Wu Xie's angry glare and fell asleep soundly.

The more Wu Xie thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, he could no longer hold back and waved his fists at the air, unleashing a series of "air punches", as if this could vent all his dissatisfaction.

The driver standing nearby watched Wu Xie finally regain some energy, and a smile appeared on his face. He asked softly, "Young Master San, is there anything you need me to bring from home? After all, your hospitalization was sudden, and we didn't prepare anything."

Wu Xie pondered the matter carefully for a long time before finally making up his mind. He then said to the driver calmly, "Well, how about this? Please bring me a few sets of clean clothes, as well as toiletries like a toothbrush, towel, slippers, and of course, don't forget necessities like a cell phone charger. If there's anything else I need, there's a supermarket across from the hospital, so I can just buy it there."

After hearing Wu Xie's request, the driver nodded and said, "Okay, Third Master, I've got it all. I'll go back to the mansion and help you pack your clothes. You can take a nap first, and I'll bring you everything you need."

"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Liu." Wu Xie said with a smile, then he lifted the quilt and lay down comfortably like a lazy cat. After the driver, Uncle Liu, turned around and left the room, and gently closed the door, Wu Xie slowly closed his eyes.

———Huafu———

After returning to the Hua Mansion, Old Liu drove straight to Butler Xu's room. He knocked gently on the door, and after hearing Butler Xu's voice from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in.

"Butler Xu, I just came back from the Third Master's place. I came back to help him pack some clothes and daily necessities to take over." Old Liu reported the situation to Butler Xu.

After hearing this, Butler Xu nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Go and arrange for someone to go to the Third Master's yard and pack up the things he needs."

After hearing the report from driver Lao Liu, Butler Xu thought for a moment and decided to observe the situation before making a decision.

"Don't tell him about Master Wu's illness for now. Wait until the hospital intervenes for a while, then see how things go. If he's getting better, then we won't tell him. If he's not getting better, then we can discuss how to tactfully tell him the truth."

"Don't worry about this! I keep my mouth shut and will never reveal a single word." Old Liu gestured at his mouth.

After talking with Butler Xu for a while, Old Liu hurriedly left Butler Xu's room and went to arrange for people to pack up the things Wu Xie needed.

After Old Liu left, Butler Xu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to call the landline on the table. It was an unfamiliar number he had never called before, and it seemed to hold some secret.

After the call was connected, Butler Xu lowered his voice and said, "Wu Xie doesn't know about his illness yet. We're still hiding it from him. They just say he's a little malnourished and needs nutrient solution."

The person on the other end of the line seemed to be responding to something, and Butler Xu kept echoing him, occasionally interjecting. Although the specific content could not be heard clearly, from his constant nodding movements, it could be seen that the other party was probably explaining something important.

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements at the hospital. We've also sent people from nearby areas. Not even a fly can get in, let alone a person." Butler Xu said in a firm tone, seeming to be very confident in his arrangements.

After hanging up the phone, Butler Xu breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completed a difficult task. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and left his room.

At the same time, the driver, Lao Liu, had just walked out of Wu Xie's yard, still holding the things that Wu Xie had packed up by the servants, and was about to leave the room. When he opened the door, he happened to see the figure of Butler Xu hurriedly leaving.

"Xu..." Old Liu was about to call out to Butler Xu when he suddenly noticed something unusual about his behavior. He seemed to be deliberately avoiding someone, his steps hurried and his expression panicked.

Old Liu was puzzled and decided not to say anything. He hid in a secluded place and secretly observed Butler Xu.

Through the narrow gap, Old Liu saw Butler Xu walk to a remote corner and talk with a man whose face he couldn't see clearly. Due to the distance, Old Liu couldn't hear what they were saying at all. He could only see Butler Xu nodding and shaking his head from time to time, with a very serious expression.

"I have done what you said. Where is my son?" Butler Xu's face was full of anger, veins bulged on his forehead, his voice trembled with emotion, and his eyes stared at the man in front of him who was hiding his head and showing his tail, as if he was about to spit fire.

"Butler Xu, please calm down! Your son is being meticulously cared for here!" The man's voice was as hoarse as a crow's cry, making one feel uncomfortable. He spoke slowly, but the threat in his voice was like a sharp knife, piercing Butler Xu's heart.

"You shameless bastards!" Butler Xu was shaking with anger. He pointed at the man, furious. "You clearly promised me that you would return my son to me once I found the person who was passing on the message for you! And now? You're actually going back on your word!"

Butler Xu's sanity was crumbling under the impact of anger. He leaned forward, as if wanting to rush up to argue with the man, but was ultimately held back by the last bit of clarity in his heart.

"Hmph, Butler Xu, don't get excited yet." Seeing this, the man not only didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt, but instead laughed sarcastically. "We can't be sure whether the news you're telling us is true or not! We have to wait until we've verified it before we can release your son!"

His laughter echoed in the darkness, sounding particularly harsh, and the figure under the black cloak was even more eerie and terrifying.

"I demand to see my son, otherwise I will never pass on any news for you!" Butler Xu put his hands behind his back, snorted coldly, and turned his back to the man.

"I can show you the photos I took recently, but as for people, that's not possible!" The man took out a photo that had just been developed from his cloak and handed it to Butler Xu.

The man patted Butler Xu on the shoulder and said, "Work hard for us, and you will definitely get more!" After saying that, the man turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared in front of Butler Xu.
