Chapter 231 Key? Map? (1/2)
When Fu Zhengzheng sees the strange number on her phone, she thinks it’s her brother’s and connects the phone excitedly at once, but unexpectedly, she hears Qiao Keren’s urgent cry for help!
She is startled and asks instantly, “What happened?”
“My mummy has a high fever, but we dare not go out, because we feel bad guys are watching us.”
“Don’t go out. I’ll be there soon.”
“What’s wrong?” Seeing she looks abnormal, Han Siqi asks right away.
“Deng Anyu has a fever.”
Then Fu Zhengzheng walks outside, and Han Siqi follows her quickly.
It’s already after midnight, and it’s still cold on the night of the early spring.
After they get out of the car, Han Siqi holds Fu Zhengzheng’s hand and asks, “Are you cold?”
Fu Zhengzheng grins, “No. Your noodles make me energetic.”
They rush to the room where Qiao Yunhan and his family live and then send Deng Anyu to the hospital nearest to the municipal police office.
The doctor on duty examines her and says, “The patient is weak originally. What’s worse, she is scared excessively and gets a cold, so she has a fever. It’s not serious. Take some medicine and have an infusion for two days. Then she will be fine. This is the prescription. Pay the fees, take the medicine and then go to the infusion room.”
Qiao Keren takes over the prescription at once and is ready to go out.
“Miss Qiao, wait!” Fu Zhengzheng stops her immediately, turns aside and looks at Han Siqi, “Siqi, go with Miss Qiao.”
Han Siqi frowns and wants to refuse, but when he sees Fu Zhengzheng pointing to her injured arm, he shuts up.
Qiao Keren takes the hint, curls her lips and waves, “There are so many people in the hospital. It should be fine. I can go alone.”
Then she turns around and walks out in haste.
Han Siqi says to Fu Zhengzheng, “Take care”, and then goes out fast after Qiao Keren.
Fu Zhengzheng smiles and helps Deng Anyu go to the infusion room with Qiao Yunhan.
After Deng Anyu is seated, Qiao Yunhan looks at Fu Zhengzheng and apologized, “Miss Fu, sorry to bother you.”
Fu Zhengzheng shakes her head and replies sincerely, “Because of me, you come to C City that you are unfamiliar with— do you think I am hypocritical?”
Qiao Yunhan shakes his head and says with a long sigh, “We are to blame for pampering Keren too much before. Although I always appreciate Siqi, I have been not optimistic about their marriage from the beginning. But I know Keren’s temper that she won’t give up easily until it is completely hopeless.”
“Why do you mention what happened in the past? Keren has suffered the hardship that she deserves.” Deng Anyu who keeps closing eyes interrupts in a low voice suddenly.
Qiao Yunhan strokes his wife’s forehead and responds quietly, “Suffering is a kind of growth. Doesn’t Keren act more calmly than before? Blessings always come along with misfortunes.”
Deng Anyu doesn’t say anything else.
Fu Zhengzheng knows Deng Anyu doesn’t like her usually, but she doesn’t take it to heart. She smiles, brings a cup of hot water with a disposable dixie cup and gives it to Deng Anyu.
“Aunt, have a cup of hot tea.”
Deng Anyu takes it over and says slowly, “Thanks.”
“You are welcome.” Fu Zhengzheng smiles and sits down nearby.
Qiao Yunhan looks out. Finding Qiao Keren hasn’t returned, he asks suddenly, “Miss Fu, may I ask you a question?”
“Sure.”
“What did those men look for?”
Fu Zhengzheng meditates and roughly tells him the identity and death of Li Xiaomeng and what happened around the coffer.
Qiao Yunhan stares at her with his eyes wide open, shakes his head and sighs, “I never thought there would be so many stories with twists and turns.”
When they are talking, Qiao Keren and Han Siqi enter after a nurse.
Fu Zhengzheng rises quickly to give way for the nurse to infuse for Deng Anyu.
The nurse goes out after she finishes. Qiao Keren adds water to her mother’s cup and gives her some pills, “Mummy, the doctor told you to take these pills.”
Deng Anyu takes over the pills and looks at her daughter fondly.
Qiao Keren bends over to comfort her mother softly, “Mummy, have a sleep. When you wake up, infusion will be over and then we can go back.”
Deng Anyu nods relievedly and closes her eyes obediently.
Qiao Keren rises, looks at Fu Zhengzheng and points to the small balcony aside, “Fu Zhengzheng, how about going there to have a talk?”
Fu Zhengzheng has waited for it for a long time, and she nods immediately.
On the balcony, Qiao Keren looks at the indistinct moonlight and says as arrogantly as before, “Fu Zhengzheng, although you help our family this time, don’t expect that I will be grateful to you.”
Fu Zhengzheng smiles, “Miss Qiao, I am a policewoman now. It’s my duty to protect you, and I don’t need your gratitude.”
Qiao Keren pauses and then says, “I don’t know why those men affirm that Li Xiaomeng gave me something before she died. When I got home, I found my bedroom had been rummaged through. In the beginning, I thought a thief broke in. I was afraid my parents would be worried, so I didn’t tell them. Unexpectedly, they have an ulterior motive. You look for me for the same reason, right? But Li Xiaomeng didn’t give me anything before her death.”
Then Qiao Keren suddenly gnashes her teeth, “I took her as my good friend before, but unexpectedly she would have her eyes on Siqi and take advantage of me to enter Han family. I was really blind!”
Fu Zhengzheng breaks in, “Do you know how Li Xiaomeng died?”
“It’s reported that she died from a car accident. Her baby died as well. She got what she deserved! By the way, is it Siqi’s baby?”
