Chapter 705 -706: Attending the Count’s Banquet
Xia Yangyang left the hospital after staying for one night.
Xia Weiwei suddenly disappeared, no one knew where she went.
Her kidnapping by Han Cheng, causing a major tunnel accident, was reported in the news.
At that time, seven cars collided in the tunnel, causing a traffic jam that lasted for six hours.
Luckily, the cars in the tunnel were relatively slow-moving, and there were no casualties.
However, Xia Yangyang did see a video clip online.
In the video, Gu Qichen and Han Cheng drove towards each other at high speed, almost colliding.
At that time, the tunnel exit was blocked by a police car.
Left with no choice, Han Cheng drove in the opposite direction, while Gu Qichen guarded the other end of the tunnel exit.
If Gu Qichen had moved his car, Han Cheng might have left the tunnel, taken the auxiliary road, and disappeared. It would have been difficult to catch him.
So, Gu Qichen risked his life to stop Han Cheng.
The distance between the two cars was incredibly close in that split second.
If Han Cheng had been more ruthless, they could have died together.
Xia Yangyang watched that last moment over and over again.
She felt a chill run down her spine, as if she had truly seen death in that split second.
Xia Yangyang was unconscious in the car at that time.
Even though she experienced that thrilling moment together with him,
It was completely different from Gu Qichen’s direct confrontation.
What was Gu Qichen feeling at that time?
He really risked his life for her.
Xia Yangyang couldn’t explain how she felt at that moment.
All she felt was shock, emotion, and bitterness.
Xia Yangyang still returned to the Paradise on Earth.
Unbeknownst to Xia Yangyang, Fenghuang had fallen ill over the past few days.
He had contracted chickenpox and had been running a high fever.
Xia Yangyang wanted to visit, but Fenghuang didn’t see her, afraid that she would get infected as she never had chickenpox.
But Li Zhiqian returned to the country at noon and asked Xia Yangyang to pick him up at the airport.
Xia Yangyang successfully picked up Li Zhiqian.
Upon learning about Fenghuang’s illness, Li Zhiqian rushed to his room.
Li Zhiqian never had chickenpox either and could possibly be infected. Fenghuang didn’t want him to enter the room.
But Li Zhiqian didn’t care; he broke down the door and went in.
Fenghuang’s condition was truly serious.
He was constantly on an IV drip.
Transparent blisters covered his entire body, causing unbearable pain and itching.
Seeing Li Zhiqian and Xia Yangyang come in, Fenghuang scolded them, “What the hell are you two doing coming in here? My condition is serious. Get out now. Yangyang, you should also move out for a few days. Several girls at Paradise on Earth have come down with chickenpox. I’m afraid I can’t look after you during these days.”
Xia Yangyang said, “Sister, I’m not that susceptible to infection. You don’t need to worry. But you need to rest and take care of yourself.”
Li Zhiqian walked over to Fenghuang’s side and grabbed his hand. “Let me look at you, how did you get so sick? Is the doctor here any good? I think you should be admitted to the hospital.”
Fenghuang pulled his hand away, “The doctor here is top-notch; not even the head of a tertiary class hospital can match. Alright, stop worrying about me. The matter you discussed with me last time, I’m afraid I can’t cooperate with you anymore. Just choose any girl from Paradise on Earth to take with you.”
Li Zhiqian said, “Don’t worry about that matter. I’ll figure it out. You should focus on your health.”
“Alright, brother, I got it. You’re usually so tight-lipped. Why are you so talkative around me?”
“I’m just worried about you. I… I promised to take good care of you.”
“I’ve told you I’m fine. Now go. If I cause you any trouble, I can’t bear that responsibility. Don’t you have to attend some count’s banquet in France tomorrow?”
