Chapter 698: A journey through the gates of hell

Professor Chen felt a chill in his heart.

He was very aware of Pei Ziheng's energy and knew that the man in front of him had full authority to influence the selection results. For the sake of so-called fairness and justice, give up an easy future and offend a big shot that you can't afford to offend? He didn't think for too long and quickly made a decision: "Mr. Pei, don't worry, I know what to do."

Pei Ziheng showed a look of approval.

He walked into the ward and looked down at the little boy who was sleeping on the bed with a sling bottle.

The child looks very well-behaved. The baby's fat cheeks are plump and tender, making people lovable. If you look carefully, you can see that she actually looks like Xia Ling, with the same delicate eyebrows, small and round nose tip and earlobes. If you take a closer look, you can see that even Li Lei has some features, but they are not obvious.

Pei Ziheng is pretending that something is wrong. He wonders when Xiao Ling will find out the truth?

The red indicator light on the bottle flashes, indicating that the medicine is almost finished. Pei Ziheng's hand moved to the switch, subconsciously preparing to turn off the infusion line. Suddenly, his hand paused slightly. If the bottle is not closed, air will enter the child's blood vessels after the medicine is infused, and the child will die.

Such a way of killing people is so subtle that it can be said to be a medical accident.

His mind gradually became gloomy as he watched the few potions dripping slowly.

However, the child's sleeping face is so beautiful, as pure as a little angel. Pei Ziheng suddenly couldn't imagine how painful a look would appear on this face that looked like Xiao Ling when air entered his blood vessels. Just thinking about it makes my heart feel like a knife.

The potion drops drop by drop, getting less and less.

Pei Ziheng looked at Shao Hui expressionlessly. This was the best opportunity to kill him. If he was not killed this time, it would be inconvenient to cause similar accidents in the future. Pei Ziheng knew very well that the child's mother's family was the Xia family, which was such a terrifying reclusive family - if this child died in a strange way and the Xia family investigated, even the Pei family would not be able to withstand the overwhelming anger.

To kill or not to kill?

There was not much time left for him to think about it.

One drop, two drops, three drops…

The last few drops of potion fell quietly.

At the last moment, Pei Ziheng reached out and closed the infusion line.

“Your fortune is good.” He said to the child on the bed in a low voice, as if talking to himself, turned around, and left the ward. In this life, he has never killed anyone. Standing at the height of a business tycoon like him, who doesn't have blood on his hands? However, facing this child, he still couldn't make a move.

Maybe he remembered the little baby dancing and smiling at him many years ago; maybe he remembered the ecstasy that seemed to be in a dream when Xiao Ling timidly told him the news of pregnancy even further back. ; Or maybe it’s just a discovery of conscience...

In short, he left and never looked back.

The ward was empty again. The little Shaohui didn't know when he opened his eyes and looked at the infusion pipe that Pei Ziheng had turned off quietly, a little lost in thought.

In the evening, Xia Ling came to see him.

"Xiao Shaohui, I'm so sorry," she said to the child, "my sister just wanted to take a nap, but she didn't expect that the whole day would pass after she slept. How do you feel now? Are you feeling better?"

Shaohui nodded obediently: "It's much better, sister, don't worry." He didn't tell this stupid sister that when she was away in the morning, he had already walked back and forth to the gate of hell.

Xia Ling peeled the fruit for him, using a very clumsy technique with lots of bumps. Received a call from Li Lei midway. He asked her where she was and said that fresh fruits and vegetables had been sent from his villa and he wanted to bring them to her. Xia Ling was worried about Shao Hui and briefly told him about Shao Hui's illness: "Forget about fruits and vegetables, I'm not in the mood to deal with these."

Li Lei then realized that such a big thing had happened after not seeing each other for a day.

He asked Xia Ling: "Which hospital?"

Xia Ling didn't want to say it at first, but Shao Hui shouted next to him: "I want Uncle Li to come and see me..." Xia Ling glanced at the child and gave Li Lei the address of the hospital.

Li Lei came over quickly and brought several boxes of delicious meals. "These are all made with fresh ingredients from the villa," he said. "If your child is not feeling well, he should eat some nutritious food to replenish his health."

Shaohui liked his craftsmanship very much and pestered Xia Ling to open it.

The three of them spread out a table in the ward and were eating when Pei Ziheng walked in. This tall man also held a meal in his hand. He glanced at the scene in the room and laughed at himself: "I seem to be late."

Xia Ling felt very sad when she thought of Pei Ziheng's busy schedule during the day when Shao Hui was sick. After hesitating, she asked tentatively: "Let's eat together?"

Pei Ziheng smiled lightly: "Okay."

He really didn't see anyone outside, so he dragged a chair casually and sat down next to Xia Ling.

Li Lei looked at him with an evil expression. The two men's eyes met in mid-air, with the faint smell of gunpowder smoke and sparks. Pei Ziheng asked Xia Ling in a gentle voice as if nothing had happened, "How is little Shaohui's condition? You came to me in the middle of the night last night wearing only pajamas. It's really worrying."

Li Lei’s brows twitched. In the middle of the night? In pajamas? Looking for Pei Ziheng?

He reached out and took a big chopstick dish into Xia Ling's bowl: "You don't know how to call me in the middle of the night? Why bother Mr. Pei? Xiao Ling, stay with me so that I can take care of you."

Xia Ling has a headache. These two people are here again. Can't they just rest for a while?

She gritted her teeth and said, "Shut up and eat." She seemed to be kicking anyone out if they continued to be verbose.

The two grown men obediently shut up. Even though they were usually making trouble outside, when facing a petite girl like Xia Ling, they seemed to be obedient... After all, no one wants to be loved by their beloved in front of their love rival. Kick the girl out.

　　A few people have their own thoughts and eat.

Shao Hui is a bit picky about food. He only chooses the tenderest vegetable leaves and the softest meat to eat. His little cheeks bulge and he eats very attentively. Li Lei couldn't stand it anymore, so he took a large piece of fish meat without any chopsticks from under the little guy's chopsticks and gave it to Xia Ling. He didn't forget to teach the little guy: "You are a man, let your sister eat it, you know?"

The little guy feels a little aggrieved, ugh, ugh, ugh, two of them are taking care of his sister, so what’s wrong with him just taking care of himself. Woohoo, that fish is so delicious...

Xia Ling glared at Li Lei: "He is a patient!" She looked protective.

Pei Ziheng smiled faintly and prepared dishes for Xia Ling and Shao Hui in a leisurely manner: "Isn't it just a few bites of food? When you are discharged from the hospital, Uncle Pei will bring you meals. There will be as many different dishes as you want."

Li Lei looked at him with an unkind expression.

Pei Ziheng looked at Li Lei calmly.
