As soon as Xiao Qi reached out her hand, A-Lian woke up. She might still be drunk, mumbling, "I didn't drink enough, I want more to drink, Xiao Qi, bring me some alcohol."
"Tsk! You haven't had enough? You're already sleeping on the floor and don't even know it," Xiao Qi said as she casually grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the cabinet, opened it, and handed it to A-Lian.
Without even opening her eyes, A-Lian hugged the bottle and started drinking. Usually, someone who drank too much would have a dry mouth, but A-Lian managed to finish the entire bottle.
Xiao Qi laughed and said to the lethargic Fei Hu on the bed, "This room is like two big water buffaloes are sleeping in it; we can't even keep up with the water consumption."
Fei Hu chuckled in response. He knew Xiao Qi was referring to him but didn't have the energy to retort. Just then, his phone in his pocket rang. Fei Hu jumped as if electrocuted, quickly pulling it out. He guessed correctly; it was a call from Sun Li. Gritting his teeth, he pressed the answer button. As soon as the call connected, Sun Li asked irritably, "What's going on with you? Still playing Night Without Return? Do you still need your medication? If not, just say so and I'll throw it away."
"I'll take it; of course I will. I'll be back soon," Fei Hu replied weakly.
Sun Li paused on the other end of the line and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you okay? Tell me where you are; I'll come pick you up."
Fei Hu felt very touched by her concern. Just as he was about to say no need, A-Lian on the floor suddenly shouted loudly after Xiao Qi poked her somewhere, "Don't touch me there; that's annoying!"
Fei Hu quickly covered the phone with his hand, but it was too late; Sun Li had already heard it. She asked sharply, "Fei Hu, tell me honestly, what are you doing? Are you at another woman's place?"
What could he say to that? Fei Hu shot a glare at Xiao Qi on the floor. In just that moment, he heard a beeping sound from his phone; Sun Li must have hung up in anger.
Sitting on the floor, Xiao Qi finally couldn't hold back her laughter anymore. She was laughing so hard she nearly fell over. Meanwhile, Fei Hu on the bed was as anxious as a monkey that had eaten garlic, scratching his head and feeling lost.
Once Xiao Qi stopped laughing and wiped her tears away, she shouted at Fei Hu, "What does a real man have to worry about not having a wife? If she ignores you now, isn't there still one lying on the floor? Sister Lian is really nice; she hasn't even had a boyfriend yet but has already given you her first kiss. You can't be so heartless!"
Oh my! This girl did that on purpose earlier! Fei Hu was so angry he couldn't find words. He helplessly shook his head, stood up with difficulty, found his shoes and put them on. As he walked to the door, he turned back to Xiao Qi and said, "Thanks; I'll leave A-Lian in your care. Be careful and make sure nothing happens."
Xiao Qi shot a glance at Fei Hu and muttered, "Ungrateful wolf, I can't be bothered with you."
As Fei Hu was about to reach the first floor, Xiao Qi chased after him. She supported Fei Hu from behind and said, "You can't go back alone like this. Let me take you home!"
Fei Hu shook his head and replied, "No need, you should take care of A-Lian!"
"It's fine. My two sisters will arrive in a few minutes. Besides, this is Bald Zhang's territory; nothing will happen here," Xiao Qi said before running outside to call a taxi.
By the time Xiao Qi dropped Fei Hu off at the entrance of the community, it was almost noon. Watching Fei Hu walk through the gate, she finally instructed the driver to turn around as she hurried back.
After much effort, Fei Hu finally arrived at Sun Li's door. He intended to knock but thought that Sun Li might be sleeping at this hour, so he took out his key. Just as he was about to insert it into the lock, the door suddenly swung open, revealing Sun Li in her pajamas, looking furious. At that moment, Fei Hu lunged forward as if he had found a lifeline and lost all awareness.
In recent days, Ye Xiaofei and Yingzi had been extremely busy. They were racking their brains over the Dragon Tiger Gang's Annual Meeting. It was one thing not to notice it, but once they did, they were genuinely shocked.
Usually, only when troublemakers appeared would people remember that there was still a Dragon Tiger Gang in City A. Unexpectedly, Yingzi spent an entire day compiling a list of leaders eligible to attend the meeting. Arranging their seats according to rank and seniority was quite a challenge; over five hundred people was no small number. While arranging the seating, Yingzi asked Ye Cheng, "Grandpa, how many members does the Dragon Tiger Gang have now?"
"Oh! An incomplete count shows there are about two thousand people. However, aside from these leaders, others are not officially part of the gang and are considered free agents. They can be counted or not counted. But these five hundred plus are legitimate members of the Dragon Tiger Gang. The prosperity of the gang over the years has relied on each of them, so I invited them all for this Annual Meeting. In previous years, we would have had at most half that number," Ye Cheng said while stroking his beard with a smile on his face.
Ye Xiaofei approached with her arms crossed over her chest and expressed her concern to Yingzi: "With over five hundred people attending, we will need at least dozens of people to manage things. We also need security personnel; we are too short-handed now. If only that useless Fei Hu were here! He may not be able to fight well, but he has plenty of clever ideas." Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but think of Fei Hu today.
"Heh heh, if that kid weren't injured and could help you all out, he would be the best choice. I wonder how he is recovering now," Ye Cheng seemed to miss Fei Hu as well. It appeared that their days of fleeing in the Great Forest had fostered a deep emotional bond with him; it was also a form of reliance.
Yingzi remained silent; she had called for Fei Hu several times recently. Regardless of how one looked at it, she felt indebted to him. For this meeting, on one hand, Fei Hu was injured; on the other hand, she felt embarrassed to call him again. What if something happened again? How could she face him? As Yingzi pondered these thoughts, memories of her time with Fei Hu flooded her mind; she paused her writing and gazed affectionately out the window.
"Hey Yingzi! Why don't we go see him and check how he's recovering? He got hurt for our Dragon Tiger Gang after all. I haven't visited him even once; I feel quite bad about it," Ye Xiaofei said as she gently nudged Yingzi who was lost in thought.
Ye Cheng observed every move made by the two girls. His granddaughter had grown up and started having her own concerns; this included his headstrong granddaughter Ye Xiaofei as well. He had already sensed her fluctuating attitude towards Fei Hu during their last encounter. In this world, there is no love or hatred without reason.
Yingzi came back to her senses and smiled apologetically, saying, "Fei Hu is currently staying at his friend's house. It's a bit inconvenient to see him directly because he is recuperating, so he has to follow his friend's arrangements."
Ye Xiaofei snorted coldly and said, "What's the big deal? Is he restricted from his personal freedom? Even if he's married, Fei Hu still has the right to move freely. This is simply unreasonable."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cheng felt that something was off and quickly asked, "You mentioned that Fei Hu has a girlfriend. Is she his fiancée?"
"Hehe! Grandpa, that's hard to say at the moment because their relationship isn't very clear right now. But one thing is certain: they have a very close relationship. Fei Hu knows her because you created opportunities for them," Yingzi said with a smile.
Ye Cheng was puzzled and walked over to sit in front of Yingzi, asking eagerly, "What's going on? Tell me everything; don't keep me in suspense."
Seeing Ye Cheng so anxious, Yingzi recounted how Fei Hu saved Ye Cheng by taking him to the hospital, how he was chased into the women's changing room, and how Sun Li saved Fei Hu. She explained how Fei Hu encountered Sun Li again during his second hospitalization and shared the story of how beautiful women love heroes. Ye Cheng listened with laughter, but Ye Xiaofei wore a grim expression; only Grandpa knew her granddaughter's feelings.
At that moment, Yingzi's phone rang at an inopportune time. She took it out and smiled at Ye Cheng, saying, "Speak of the devil; here he is! This is amazing; it's a call from Sun Li, the Head Nurse."
"Quick, answer it! I hope that kid Fei Hu isn't in any more trouble!" Ye Cheng said with a worried expression.
Yingzi hurriedly pressed the answer button and said, "Hello! Miss Sun, is there something you need?"
"Yes, Fei Hu has alcohol poisoning and has been admitted to the hospital again. If you have time, please come to 526 Hospital, Emergency Room," Sun Li said before hanging up without waiting for Yingzi to respond.
"Fei Hu has alcohol poisoning!" As soon as Yingzi spoke those words, both Ye Cheng and Ye Xiaofei jumped up from their chairs in shock.
