Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 140

Ji Rongyu subconsciously looked at Xu Wanxing’s phone on the bedside table.

The contact’s name was saved as—

“Husband.”

It was Xu Wanxing’s partner.

A bitter smile appeared on Ji Rongyu’s face. Seeing this call, he understood that he should step aside.

After secretly spending so much time guarding Xu Wanxing here, this beautiful and quiet moment was finally broken.

Ji Rongyu answered the phone. Lu Yanbai’s anxious voice came from the other side, “Baby, why aren’t you coming out yet? Did something happen?”

The voice echoed throughout the quiet room. Ji Rongyu had arranged for Xu Wanxing to stay in the VIP room, which was large, empty, and housed only Xu Wanxing.

After hearing Lu Yanbai speak, Ji Rongyu instinctively glanced at the bed—Xu Wanxing was not awake.

Ji Rongyu got up, pushed open the patient room door, and went out. Clearing his throat, he said, “You must be Xu Wanxing’s partner. He is currently in XXX room at the Peking University Affiliated Hospital. Please come.”

There was silence on the other end for several seconds. In the long hospital corridor, the dim lighting and vast stillness layered a terrifying atmosphere.

However, Ji Rongyu was not afraid at all. Staring at the peaceful night, his heart was filled only with worry for the person lying in the hospital bed.

Lu Yanbai suddenly asked, “Who are you? Why do you have his phone? Let my baby answer the phone.”

Ji Rongyu replied, “I’m Xu Wanxing’s classmate—a helpful and good classmate. Xu Wanxing was injured by someone and is currently unconscious in bed. Please come and take care of him. When Xu Wanxing wakes up, tell him that I will handle this matter.”

He paused, then added, “I know I should leave. Please come quickly. I won’t meet you.”

He then hung up the phone. Listening to the dial tone, Lu Yanbai’s face was terrifyingly cold. His entire heart was gripped, with bursts of sharp pain.

The driver fearfully huddled himself into a ball in the driver’s seat. He had elderly parents and young children; he was afraid that if CEO Lu got angry, he would be slaughtered.

Lu Yanbai’s entire aura was too terrifying, like a man who had walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood—icy and sharp.

Lu Yanbai clenched his phone, his eyes fixed on the name in the contacts.

“Husband.”

What exactly happened to his baby that he was now lying in the hospital, unconscious and unawakened?!!

The Peking University Affiliated Hospital was very close, just a few steps away from Peking University.

Lu Yanbai no longer cared about appearances. He asked the driver to push the wheelchair over and help him get out of the car.

Unwilling to delay for even a second, he pressed the remote control button on the wheelchair, but it wasn’t fast enough.

Anxious, Lu Yanbai immediately began pushing the wheels with his hands, but he didn’t notice that since the remote button was pressed, the wheels would automatically slide. In an instant, he scraped off a layer of skin on his hands, revealing a patch of raw, pink flesh.

It was shockingly bright red.

Lu Yanbai pushed a few times, and his palms stung with pain, but it was too slow. Lu Yanbai could no longer worry about anything else and told the driver to push his wheelchair to the affiliated hospital.

In the elevator, Ji Rongyu stepped out and brushed past a person of extraordinary bearing sitting in a wheelchair.

Ji Rongyu exited the elevator, subconsciously stood still, and looked back. Before the elevator doors closed, he saw the person’s face.

It was him.

An inexplicable surge of bitterness welled up in Ji Rongyu’s heart. His feet felt rooted to the ground where he stood. After a long while, he continued walking out.

Lu Yanbai had no eyes for anyone else. When the elevator reached the floor where Xu Wanxing was located, the driver dared not delay for a moment and hurried to push Lu Yanbai’s wheelchair towards the room.

Upon reaching the door, Lu Yanbai raised a hand, signaling the driver to stop.

The driver obediently complied.

Lu Yanbai composed himself slightly, then spoke in a slightly faster voice, “You can go back. You don’t need to come to pick us up.”

The driver agreed. Seeing the raw, pink flesh on Lu Yanbai’s palm, he couldn’t help but say, “CEO Lu, you should quickly treat the wound on your hand. Otherwise, if Mr. Xu sees it, he will worry.”

Lu Yanbai waved his hand and pushed the door open to enter the room.

The moment he saw Xu Wanxing lying on the pure white bedding with his eyes tightly shut, Lu Yanbai’s heart skipped two heavy beats. He quickly pushed his wheelchair to the side of the bed.

Xu Wanxing’s face was pale, and his lips were somewhat dry. What made Lu Yanbai completely lose his mind was that Xu Wanxing’s neck was actually wrapped with a circle of bandages?!

What happened?!

Was he choked by someone???

Lu Yanbai’s lips trembled. He poured a cup of warm water from the side and used it to gently wipe Xu Wanxing’s dry lips bit by bit, his eyes full of tenderness and sorrow.

His heart throbbed, aching with a difficult, painful swelling.

He was determined to investigate this matter and give Xu Wanxing justice.

As for what Ji Rongyu had just said to him, he had completely tossed it to the back of his mind.

Lu Yanbai made a call, finished giving instructions, and urged the person to be quick.

After hanging up, Lu Yanbai looked at Xu Wanxing lying on the bed. He wanted to reach out to stroke his face but suddenly noticed the large areas of scraped skin and the exposed red flesh on his hand.

Lu Yanbai curled his fingers slightly, unwillingly pulling his hand back.

He pushed the wheelchair and began to move toward the door. Just before the door closed, Lu Yanbai looked back at Xu Wanxing again and whispered, “Baby, don’t be afraid. I’ll be right back. I’m just going to get this bandaged.”

His voice was utterly gentle. The moment the patient room door closed, Lu Yanbai’s expression instantly turned grim.

The contrast with his previous demeanor was startlingly strong.

The nurse was startled by the injury on Lu Yanbai’s hand and, with a tingling scalp, grabbed bandages to wrap it for him.

Who would damage such beautiful hands like this?

While bandaging the wound, Lu Yanbai did not even furrow his brow once. The nurse would tie a few rounds and then look up at Lu Yanbai’s expression. Seeing his extreme calmness, she felt a bit incredulous.

Did this person have no pain receptors?

Was it really not painful at all?

How could that be?

After the bandaging was complete, the nurse wanted to help push Lu Yanbai’s wheelchair, but he took the initiative to push it himself with the hand now wrapped in a bandage.

The nurse was speechless.

What a determined, physically challenged man.

Respect, respect.

In the darkness, Xu Wanxing faintly felt a pair of hands gripping his neck, suppressing his breathing.

Xu Wanxing struggled, kicking and thrashing. One kick missed, and he nearly tumbled off the hospital bed.

After this flurry of movement, he felt much better; at least he could breathe. However, there was a constant feeling of pressure on his neck.

His foot was also itchy.

Xu Wanxing opened his eyes. The glaring bright light of the white fluorescent lamp filled his vision.

He blinked his eyes with difficulty, taking a long while to recover.

Xu Wanxing reached out to touch his neck. There was nothing there, just an extra bandage wrapped around it. No wonder he kept feeling faintly that someone was strangling him—it was the ligament (bandage) causing the trouble.

Xu Wanxing relaxed a bit, and the uncomfortable feeling in his heart lessened.

He wanted to look at why his foot was so itchy. As soon as he turned his head, Xu Wanxing froze where he was, too stunned to move.

Can someone tell him why his foot was on Lu Yanbai’s face?!!

His posture was awkward. Half his body was on the bed, one foot was hanging on the side of Lu Yanbai’s face, and the other foot was draped over the edge of the bed, almost falling off.
