Chapter 690 - A Shrewd And Clever Man (1/2)

Xian Guiying helped Qin Gengxin into the bedroom and laid him on the bed. Then, she called the family doctor's phone number with her cell phone as she walked towards the bedroom door.

”No need to call a doctor.” Qin Gengxin said.

Xian Guiying suddenly turned around and glanced at him.

She saw Qin Gengxin looking at her with a pair of cold eyes. She hesitated for a moment, then hung up the phone. ”Your fever hasn't subsided yet. I'm not sure to leave you alone at home. It's still better to call the doctor.”

Qin Gengxin scoffed. ”Wei Zhengsheng is the reason you have to leave, isn't it?”

Xian Guiying's grip on the phone tightened and she was frowning slightly.

Seeing her not answering, Qin Gengxin closed his eyes and leaned on the headboard, saying indifferently, ”You can go. There's no need to come here again.”

Seeing his face getting paler, Xian Guiying remained silent for a moment before she walked into the living room. She looked at the thermometer on the table next to the couch.

While she was thinking, a notification sound suddenly came from her phone. She tapped on the screen and saw a message from Wei Zhengsheng.

”I'm leaving. You don't have to go back to the apartment. Good luck.”

Seeing those simple words, Xian Guying sighed. She sat down on the couch and put her phone and bag next to her. She felt her head, which had been aching since the afternoon, was hurting even more.

Probably because she didn't sleep well last night.

Xian Guiying didn't know what time she woke up, but it was so dark in the living room that she could not even see her fingers. She was about to get up when she suddenly realized she was covered with a blanket.

She picked up the blanket and went to turn on the light. She looked down at the blanket in her hand, then looked at the closed bedroom door.

Xian Guiying slowly got up and was about to open the door when she heard Qin Gengxin's voice.

He appeared to be on the phone.

”Mrs. Bai and her accomplices are reunited. It's time to get rid of the net. Immediately contact the police if there is any movement on Mr. Hendrickson's side.”

”Yes, it's time.”

Xian Guiying's hand paused slightly as she was about to open the bedroom door.
