TVSFPAG -Chapter 16 He Probably Got Heatstroke

He was too composed, which made Wu Wei feel uneasy. Could it be that he had offended some truly formidable person?

Ordinary people would at least hesitate or ask for clarification upon hearing something like that.

Who would just act immediately—and so calmly at that? He didn’t seem like someone impulsive, which meant he likely had some kind of status.

Wu Wei wailed, “M-my dad runs a supermarket!”

“A big one… a super… supermarket.” By the end, even Wu Wei lacked confidence in his own words.

The shocked Xiao Shuang beside him came to her senses. “Isn’t that just a convenience store?”

Wu Wei’s face flushed red—whether from pain or anger, it was hard to tell.

He was used to bluffing and showing off, but now that he didn’t know this man’s identity and didn’t dare make things up recklessly, he could only tell the truth.

Meanwhile, Song Yunfei brought the family of four into the neighborhood. After much effort persuading them, both husband and wife showed some interest.

However, they still said they needed to think it over.

Through indirect probing, Song Yunfei could tell that the two of them were likely waiting for the demolition compensation.

They were also worried the property might end up unfinished or have other issues, so they wanted to consider further.

Song Yunfei didn’t continue persuading them. If she appeared too eager, it might instead make them suspicious or resistant.

After leaving the neighborhood, she called a car for them and smiled. “Please go back and think it over. I’ll do my best to reserve a spot for the design plans for you.”

Mrs. Zhao hesitated and asked, “How long can you hold it for?”

They were quite interested in the design plans. If they hired someone outside, even a single plan would cost several thousand yuan.

Of course, if one had no specific requirements for the house layout, a design plan might not be necessary.

It was clear that Mrs. Zhao was someone with a refined sense of living and wanted the renovation to look better.

Just as Song Yunfei was about to respond, her phone suddenly rang.

She said to them, “It’s hard to say. Everyone wants them. At most, I can try to hold one for you for half a month.”

Mrs. Zhao wanted to ask for a longer period, but seeing that Song Yunfei had a call, she didn’t say more.

At that moment, the car arrived, and the family of four got in.

Song Yunfei answered the phone, and a serious voice came from the other end: “Hello, is this Song Yunfei? This is Dongcheng Police Station.”

Song Yunfei hung up, hailed a taxi, and hurried to the police station.

Upon entering, she saw Chu Jinhan sitting calmly in the mediation room. Opposite him sat a man with a bruised and swollen face, looking somewhat familiar.

Beside them was another familiar figure—Xiao Shuang.

Xiao Shuang was also surprised to see her.

After understanding the situation, it turned out he had acted bravely to help others—he had just used a bit too much force.

With Xiao Shuang as a witness and Wu Wei choosing not to pursue the matter, Song Yunfei only needed to sign and take him away.

Wu Wei wasn’t unwilling to pursue it—he simply didn’t dare to for the time being.

Because he didn’t know the other party’s identity, he had no choice but to swallow the loss. The aura Chu Jinhan carried was too intimidating.

After they came out, Song Yunfei glanced between Chu Jinhan and Xiao Shuang.

Xiao Shuang said, “Xiao Song, so Mr. Chu is your boyfriend. Thank him so much for today.”

Song Yunfei smiled. “No need to thank him. He just likes to stand up for justice.”

Xiao Shuang looked at Chu Jinhan. He stood quietly to the side, not even looking at her.

Xiao Shuang smiled and said, “Still, thank you both. I’ll get going now—let me treat you to a meal next time.”

“Alright.” Song Yunfei waved. “Bye-bye.”

After Xiao Shuang left, Song Yunfei’s smile faded. She glanced at the man beside her.

“You’re quite righteous, huh. Did you see that my coworker is pretty, so you couldn’t help but play the hero and save the damsel in distress?”

Chu Jinhan looked at her deeply. “Did you not recognize that person?”

Song Yunfei froze. In her mind flashed the image of that bruised and swollen face—beaten like that, how could she possibly recognize him?

She shook her head. “I don’t know. Who is he?”

Chu Jinhan had no intention of explaining and turned to walk toward the roadside electric scooter.

Song Yunfei panicked and quickly chased after him. “Who is he? And why didn’t they pursue the matter even after he was beaten like that?”

Could it be that she recognized him?

That shouldn’t be the case. She carefully searched her memory—when Chu Jinhan had first gone missing two months ago, there had been very little news about him online, and no photos either.

Unless someone deliberately searched for him, an ordinary person wouldn’t come across any information about him.

Apart from those familiar with him, it would be impossible to recognize his identity at a glance.

Chu Jinhan cut her off, sat on the electric scooter, and said, “Don’t know. Where are you planning to go now?”

Song Yunfei also got on and checked the time on her phone. “It’s almost noon. Let’s go back and eat first.”

Chu Jinhan nodded and rode off on the electric scooter.

The midday sun grew hotter and hotter, and Song Yunfei felt like she was about to wilt under the heat.

After returning to the rented apartment, Song Yunfei intended to cook, but as soon as she lay down on the sofa, she couldn’t get up again.

Seeing her sprawled there as if she had lost all energy, Chu Jinhan rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen himself.

Seeing his figure, Song Yunfei quickly reached out to stop him. “Wait!”

Chu Jinhan turned back in confusion. “What is it?”

Song Yunfei pushed herself up from the sofa. “I’ll do it.”

In truth, apart from simple breakfasts, Chu Jinhan’s cooking could only be described as… edible. Not exactly bad, but not good either.

His cooking skills were rather mysterious—no matter what he made, it always ended up at a barely acceptable level.

You couldn’t call it delicious, nor could you call it unpalatable—it was simply hard to evaluate.

Song Yunfei had no idea how he managed to be so consistently average.

However, she had only just gotten halfway up when the world spun before her eyes, and she collapsed back onto the sofa weakly.

Sensing something was wrong, Chu Jinhan turned and came over. “What’s wrong?”

Song Yunfei held her head and said weakly, “I feel a bit dizzy.”

Chu Jinhan pulled her arm away and leaned slightly forward, placing his hand on her forehead.

He frowned slightly. “You have a fever.”

Song Yunfei widened her eyes in surprise. “How can you get a fever in weather this hot?”

“It’s probably heatstroke.” Chu Jinhan pulled her up from the sofa. “I’ll take you to the hospital.”

At this moment, Song Yunfei had no strength in her body—she felt limp and was easily pulled up from the sofa.

Anxiously, she said, “But we haven’t eaten yet. Let’s eat first—I’m already too weak from hunger.”

“You’re not weak from hunger.”

Seeing that she refused to move, Chu Jinhan suddenly lifted her into his arms.

“What are you doing!” Song Yunfei cried out in surprise, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck. Her cheek inevitably pressed against his neck as well.

The warmth of her breath brushed against his skin, causing his body to stiffen slightly.

Chu Jinhan ignored her and carried her outside.

On the way down the stairs, they ran into Li Jiao, who was coming up.

Li Jiao paused for a moment, then a teasing smile appeared on her face. “Oh? What are you two doing?”

Chu Jinhan remained expressionless. “Going to the hospital.”

The smile on Li Jiao’s face faded. “Sick? Then you shouldn’t delay—hurry up and go.”

After speaking, she stepped aside to make way.

At this time of day, many people were going up and down the stairs.

Song Yunfei felt extremely embarrassed and almost buried her entire head into Chu Jinhan’s chest.

She whispered, “I can walk by myself. Put me down, I’ll walk on my own.”
