Chapter 355 Still Don't Believe Me

country m

Although he and Lu Xiche had an unhappy argument yesterday because of Laya's matter, Lin Yan thought about it and felt that he should tell him about what Shen Yunxi had asked him about Lu Xiche today.

The decision is made.

So, he sent a message, and after a few minutes when there was no reply, he called Lu Xi again. But surprisingly, there was only a busy tone on the other end of the phone, and still no one answered.

Shouldn't this be true?

No matter how busy he is at work, Lu Xiche will always take time to answer his calls.

Is there an important meeting being held at this moment?

Lin Yan speculated secretly.

In that case, let's wait a little longer.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and Lu Xiche still hadn't called back. At this moment, Lin Yan was full of doubts, and kept thinking about various possibilities in his mind.

Could it be that Brother Che is angry with him because of what happened with Xiaoya?

But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he immediately rejected it.

After all, his brother Che is not the kind of narrow-minded and petty person...

After thinking hard, Lin Yan dialed another number. Almost instantly, the call was connected.

"Mr. Lin, what do you want to talk to me about?" Nick's voice came into Lin Yan's ears.

"Nick, is Brother Che in the company? What is he busy with? Why didn't he answer my call?"

Lin Yan spoke straight to the point.

Nick replied: "Mr. Lu did not come to work today."

After hearing Nick's words, Lin Yan was surprised and confirmed, "Brother Che didn't go to work?"

"No, I didn't."

"Then do you know where Brother Che went?" Lin Yan asked without thinking much.

"Mr. Lu didn't say."

"OK then."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yan frowned tightly, and a question kept circling in his mind: Why didn't his brother Che go to work today? Where was he doing?

Is he sleeping in at home?

In less than a second, he overturned it again.

This is unlikely, Brother Che doesn’t usually have the habit of sleeping in.

After thinking about it, Lin Yan decided that it would be better to call Hong Chen to ask, maybe he could know the whereabouts of Brother Che. So, he dialed Hong Chen's number without hesitation.

The call was quickly connected, and Lin Yan couldn't wait to ask, "Hong Chen, do you know where Brother Che is now?"

Hong Chen's somewhat helpless voice came from the other end of the receiver: "Boss Lin, I don't know where the master is either."

Hearing this, Lin Yan couldn't help but raise his voice: "What's going on? Even you don't know where Brother Che is?"

Hong Chen quickly explained, "I also have something to look for him for. I called him but no one answered. I also didn't see him at the company, so I'm now preparing to go to the master's house to check on him."

After hearing this, Lin Yan's face showed a mixture of surprise and confusion.

He never expected that even Hong Chen was looking for Brother Che!

At this time, Hong Chen asked on the other end of the phone: "Boss Lin, do you want to go to the master's house together?"

Lin Yan thought for a moment, then replied: "Well, since I have something very important to tell him anyway, I'll go to Brother Che's house with you to see what's going on!"

Manhattan, luxury house.

Lin Yan and Hong Chen hurried to the door of Lu Xiche's house, and Hong Chen reached out and gently pressed the doorbell.

However, after waiting for a while, the house seemed to fall into dead silence, with no sign of response.

"Is the master not at home?" Hong Chen frowned and looked at Lin Yan with confusion.

Lin Yan shook his head. "That shouldn't be the case. Since Brother Che is not in the company, he should be at home right now."

"Try pressing it a few more times."

Hong Chen did as he was told, but after ringing the doorbell several times, there was still no movement from inside.

Fortunately, Lin Yan knew the password to Lu Xiche's house. After the two of them rang the doorbell many times and no one came to open it, Lin Yan had no choice but to enter the password without hesitation. With a slight "click", the door lock was successfully unlocked.

Then, he pushed open the door without hesitation and walked straight in.

The two of them stepped into the house cautiously, and after a few steps, they turned their eyes towards the living room.

The originally tidy and orderly living room is now a mess, with all kinds of decorations scattered all over the floor in a mess.

There were wine glasses placed in a disorderly manner on the coffee table, and there were five or six empty wine bottles next to them...

Lin Yan's gaze continued to move, and suddenly, his pupils shrank sharply.

I saw a very handsome man lying on the sofa, motionless!

The man closed his eyes tightly, one hand resting on the edge of the sofa, the other hand hanging down, his face was as pale as a piece of white paper, and he looked lifeless.

"Not good!" Lin Yan exclaimed and looked at Hong Chen. Their hearts instantly rose to their throats.

Without having time to think, the two of them took a step and ran quickly towards the sofa to check on the man.

After arriving next to the sofa, Lin Yan's expression suddenly changed when he saw that the corners of the man's lips were dry and his face was pale without any blood.

He squatted down hurriedly, calling out anxiously, "Brother Che? Wake up, Brother Che?"

The man didn't react at all. He was in a coma and didn't answer. But from his furrowed brows, it was easy to tell that he looked very uncomfortable.

Seeing this scene, an ominous premonition came to Lin Yan's heart.

She reached out and touched the man's arm, about to wake him up again.

Just as her fingertips touched the man's skin, a burning sensation came from between her fingers, which surprised Lin Yan.

"Why are your arms so hot?"

Lin Yan immediately raised his hand and gently placed it on the man's forehead, only to feel a burning sensation under his palm.

Lin Yan's face turned pale instantly. He turned around and shouted to the panicked Hong Chen, "He has a fever. Call the doctor quickly."

Hearing this, Hong Chen was also panicked, but he quickly came to his senses, eagerly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, called his private doctor, and urged him to come as soon as possible.

The man exuded a strong smell of alcohol, as if he was soaked in a wine barrel.

Lin Yan glanced at the mess on the floor, the empty wine bottle on the coffee table, and the man's pale face. He was incredulous and couldn't help but ask, "It's only been a day since we last met. How come he has become so decadent?"

Just then, Hong Chen just hung up the phone.

Lin Yan quickly turned around and shouted to him, "Hong Chen, come and help me, let's send Brother Che back to his room to rest."

When Hong Chen heard the shouting, he walked over quickly without hesitation.

So, the two of them worked together to help the man up and slowly walked towards the room.

After finally getting the man to lie down on the bed, Lin Yan carefully covered him with a soft and warm quilt.

Not long after, the private doctor who was responsible for taking care of the patient hurried over.

As soon as the doctor came in, he walked straight to the bedside and started asking about the situation without even having time to catch his breath.

Lin Yan quickly recounted to the doctor what had happened in brief.

After listening to Lin Yan's story, the doctor took out a thermometer from the medical box he carried with him without saying a word and took the temperature skillfully.

After a while, the doctor gently took out the thermometer, frowned tightly, and stared at the numbers displayed on it for a long time with a serious expression.

Then, he raised his head and said in a serious tone: "Mr. Lu drank a lot of alcohol, and he caught a cold all night, so he had such a high fever."

After saying this, the doctor first took out a fever-reducing pill for Lu Xiche to take, and then immediately prepared the equipment needed for the infusion and started giving him an IV.

"It's so strange! The master seemed to be fine yesterday, why did he suddenly drink so much? If we hadn't rushed home in time to check on the situation, the consequences would have been unimaginable..." Hong Chen looked at the man lying on the bed with an IV drip, full of confusion, and muttered to himself.

After hearing what Hong Chen said, Lin Yan, who was standing nearby, glanced at him calmly and responded casually, "What's the big deal? In my opinion, the reason why your master became so depressed overnight is simply because he had a quarrel with your wife and was in a terrible mood, so he stayed at home alone to drink to drown his sorrows."

"Quarrel?" Hong Chen couldn't help but be slightly stunned. This word was really unfamiliar to him.

All along, in his impression, his wife and his master have always been a model couple who love each other. How could such a thing as a quarrel happen?

Seeing Hong Chen's shocked expression, Lin Yan couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Yes, it was a quarrel. Don't think that only ordinary people will have conflicts and quarrels. Rich nobles are also unable to avoid these problems. Sometimes it may be just because of a trivial matter, but if it is not handled properly or both parties are unwilling to give in or compromise, it may eventually turn into a fierce dispute or even a cold war."

After listening to Lin Yan's explanation, Hong Chen still found it hard to believe, but he nodded on the surface to show that he agreed with the other party's point of view.

After Lin Yan finished explaining, he seemed to suddenly remember something and said quickly: "No, I have to tell my sister-in-law about this as soon as possible. It's obviously just a trivial matter, why do we have to create so many misunderstandings?"

As Lin Yan spoke, he immediately took out his cell phone and dialed Shen Yunxi's number, but it kept saying that the phone was turned off.

It’s bad enough that I can’t contact one person, but why is it the same for Shen Yunxi too?

These two really make a perfect couple; they do everything in exactly the same way!

After three bottles of infusion, the man still hadn't woken up, but his complexion had changed visibly.

After the doctor finished his job and left, Hong Chen asked someone to clean up the messy living room, and then went out to buy some vegetables to cook for his master.

…………

When Lu Xiche woke up, it was already around seven in the evening.

In the living room, Lin Yan was sitting on the sofa bored, concentrating on playing games to kill time.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lu Xiche staggering out of the room. At that moment, Lin Yan's expression suddenly changed, and a look of panic appeared on his face.

He was secretly worried that Lu Xiche's body had not yet fully recovered and might still be in a weak state. What would happen if he lost his balance and fell to the ground?

Thinking of this, Lin Yan threw the phone in his hand onto the sofa beside him without hesitation, then quickly stood up and ran towards Lu Xiche like an arrow.

When he ran closer, he quickly reached out to support Lu Xiche and asked with concern: "Brother Che, why don't you rest for a while? What are you doing out in such a hurry?"

Lu Xiche remained silent.

He just frowned slightly, staring at the arm that Lin Yan touched, and uttered two words coldly: "Let go."

Lu Xiche has never liked physical contact with others, especially being touched directly on the body by others.

Hearing Lu Xiche's firm request, Lin Yan not only did not let go, but held his hand even tighter, and said anxiously: "No, Brother Che! I'm really afraid that you will accidentally fall, it's better for me to hold you."

"You're not that delicate! Let go!" Lu Xiche's tone became more and more impatient, but Lin Yan remained unmoved and insisted: "Wait until I help you sit down on the sofa, and I promise to let go immediately."

Lu Xiche knew that he couldn't persuade the stubborn Lin Yan, so he had to let him support him and slowly walk to the sofa and sit down.

It was not until this moment that Lin Yan loosened his hands that were tightly grasping Lu Xiche.

"Brother Che, you must be hungry, right? But please wait for a moment. Hong Chen is cooking delicious food for you in the kitchen. It won't take long!"

After saying this, the room fell into a brief silence.

Lu Xiche sat quietly on the sofa, his deep eyes seemed to hide countless thoughts.

After a long while, he slowly raised his head, cast his gaze at Lin Yan who was standing beside him, and asked softly, "Why did you suddenly come here?"

The voice was calm, but it revealed a subtle hint of doubt.

Hearing Lu Xiche's question, Lin Yan quickly explained, "It's because we have something urgent to find you, but no one answered the phone calls and no one responded to the messages we sent. So we really have no choice but to come to your house in person."

Lu Xiche frowned slightly, as if thinking about something, and then continued to ask: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Seeing that Lu Xiche finally got to the point, Lin Yan quickly stepped forward and said to him, "Today, my sister-in-law took the initiative to ask me about you, Brother Che!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xiche's pupils, which had been somewhat dim, suddenly brightened up.

He asked eagerly, "What did you find out?"

"To find out whether you have really been clean before."

After he finished speaking, the man's eyes, which had just lit up, instantly sank again, dull and lifeless, with a suffocating emptiness.

"Yun Xi still doesn't believe me..."
