When his health was still good, he was a restless person who wandered everywhere every day. Now that his health has deteriorated, losing his personal freedom all of a sudden is sothing he truly can’t endure. All he hopes for now is to quickly recover from his injury.
Xiao Yifei followed Mr. Deng into the hospital room. Wealthy people are indeed different; even the hospital room they stay in is so luxurious, practically like their private residence, with all the necessities for a daily life.
"The only thing I wish now is for my illness to get better soon. I feel like after the last treatnt at your place, the illness has almost recovered, but my son insisted on bringing here, saying I must rest quietly for a thorough recovery. If this continues, I’m definitely going to develop even worse symptoms." After Deng sat down, he started complaining to Xiao Yifei, clearly indicating he was really bored staying here.
"This shows your son is very filial. You see, such a high-class hospital room is not sothing anyone can just enter." Xiao Yifei said. He calculated secretly, in the hospital where he worked before, such a room would cost about ten thousand a day, not to ntion in a big Beijing hospital where it would surely cost tens of thousands a day, plus the salaries of these bodyguards and maids. What he spends in a day is roughly what so people earn in a hard-working year.
This disparity among people is truly inequitable, Xiao Yifei thought to himself.
"Enough about , you ca all this way to Beijing; you must be here because of Liu Rui, right? I’ve learned so about his situation from Fuguo; it’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just that I’m genuinely powerless this ti."
"Perhaps you don’t fully understand the situation. Actually, Liu Rui’s actions have escalated to a level threatening family security. Now, even if you plead with the Family Head, he doesn’t have the authority to release Liu Rui." Mr. Deng said.
"How could the situation beco so severe? But he didn’t cause any trouble, right? Is it a bit too much to detain him just like that?" Xiao Yifei said.
"You still say no trouble has been caused; if sothing really happens, neither you nor I can bear the consequences. Do you know what kind of people are imprisoned in that place? I heard you went in, you must have seen their skills, yet you still say such things." Mr. Deng’s words carried a bit of anger.
Xiao Yifei felt ashad, as that wasn’t his intention. Knowing Liu Rui’s current situation, he was truly anxious at heart.
"Mr. Deng, I didn’t an anything else, it’s just that I’m really worried. Liu Rui is like a brother to ; with such a big issue like this, how can I remain calm?" Xiao Yifei said.
"Did this matter cause any trouble for you?" Xiao Yifei recalled how it was Mr. Deng who helped him get in.
"It hasn’t affected . Your situation is different from Liu Rui’s." Mr. Deng replied.
"Is there really no other way now?" Xiao Yifei asked, only realizing the gravity of the situation now. He was sowhat ignorant about the law and rarely sought to understand these matters.
At this mont, he rembered Liu Rui’s calm expression when he was taken away. Seeing this, he understood Liu Rui must have anticipated what his actions would an and was prepared to face the consequences. And despite Liu Bailong remaining in prison, they were well aware of the impending events. Only he naively thought nothing serious would happen; it was truly naïve.
But what was Liu Rui’s purpose for doing this? Even knowing an action wouldn’t result in any outco, he still proceeded resolutely. He couldn’t fathom what Liu Rui was thinking. Indeed, Liu Rui, with his superior intelligence and emotional capacity, was far beyond him, especially considering they had only known each other for less than a year.
Perhaps Liu Rui already understood him well, but he hardly understood Liu Rui. He had no knowledge of Liu Rui’s experiences and the grudges in his world. What was known was only the aspect Liu Rui was willing to reveal. If Liu Rui didn’t want him to know sothing, he truly wouldn’t know.
"I’m feeling quite bored staying here alone. If you’re not busy, would you like to keep company and chat?" Mr. Deng, noticing that Xiao Yifei showed no sign of leaving, said.
"Mr. Deng, there is indeed another matter for which I seek your assistance. Actually, my main purpose for coming here is due to this issue. When I first arrived, so belongings of mine were stolen, including very important items in my bag. However, the police are facing interference from certain individuals, which has caused them to hesitate in handling the case. So I wanted to ask you for help." Xiao Yifei said.
"What is the important item you lost?" Mr. Deng had already guessed that what Xiao Yifei lost was the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle. He had learned that Liu Bailong had given it to Xiao Yifei, but regarding who wanted it, he had no leads.
Given the current circumstances, it must be soone from Beijing, whose authority and status are formidable. Ordinary people wouldn’t know of the Green-eyed Silver Tail’s existence, and even if they did, owning it without knowledge of its use would be pointless.
"I lost the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, an item passed down through generations. I searched for it for so long, finally found it, but just after acquiring it, it was stolen by soone else." Xiao Yifei said with indignation.
"I can’t help with Liu Rui’s matter, but I can assist you with this. However, I need your help in return. You see, my health is really good now, but my son doesn’t believe what I say and insists I stay here. I’m bored to death every day. Could you talk to him about how my health is fine and I can recuperate at ho?" Mr. Deng said.
Xiao Yifei thought he would face so significant requests for help, only to find it was just a small matter. It seems the life of a wealthy person isn’t easy either. It’s understandable; staying in such a hospital room every day is uncomfortable, with no one to converse with. Mr. Deng must feel bored.
"You certainly seem well, and your recovery shows progress. I can talk to your son, but whether he listens is not for to decide." Xiao Yifei said.
Just as they were speaking, Deng Fuguo entered: "Do you have anything you want to say to ?" Upon entering and seeing Xiao Yifei, his initially smiling face changed imdiately. In a different tone, he asked: "How did you get in here?"
Mr. Deng, observing his son’s deanor as if ready to dismiss Xiao Yifei, imdiately said: "I asked him in. While walking downstairs today, I just happened to bump into Xiao Yifei, so we talked for a bit."
