After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me Chapter 371: 261: Sleep Talking

Chapter 371: Chapter 261: Sleep Talking

Gao Yufeng suppressed his rage, which he had long wished to vent.

As the distinguished Young Master of the Gao Family, master of the Gao household, he previously had to bow to the will of a re assistant.

This Shen Duan had repeatedly made him lose face.

Now that the tables had turned, it was ti for a good lesson.

With that, he violently kicked out several tis to release his anger.

Fu Yunye raised his hand slightly, and Gao Yufeng imdiately stopped his assault and withdrew to Fu Yunye’s side, bending over submissive where there had been bluster before. At that mont, he was completely deferential to Fu Yunye, not daring to utter a word in response to Fu Yunye’s piercing gaze. Gao Yufeng had seen the thods of this Fu Family’s Young Master firsthand and knew they were truly terrifying—as striking as thunder.

Fu Yunye said, “If you beat him to death, I’ll have trouble explaining it to soone.”

Bent over, Gao Yufeng couldn’t comprehend who could command such respect from Fu Yunye. Was there really such a figure on North Island? He was not aware of such a master hidden in North Island, but once Fu Yunye spoke, Gao Yufeng wouldn’t dare disobey, repeatedly saying, “I understand, I understand.”

Fu Yunye dropped a remark, “Lock him up for a few days, gag him, then dump him outside the North Island Sea Domain, and don’t let Fu Tingzhou find out. Rember, I didn’t tell you to kill him.”

Gao Yufeng replied, “Yes.”

Fu Yunye had promised Tang Xi he wouldn’t take Shen Duan’s life. Having promised, he would surely fulfill it.

The man maneuvered his wheelchair away.

The chanical wheelchair grinding against the floor squeaked sharply, ringing especially clear and grating in the empty and silent warehouse.

Looking down from his high position, Gao Yufeng said to Shen Duan, “You’re quite lucky. Who were you trying to offend, daring to cross Fu Yunye? But Mr. Fu has spoken; sparing your life, in a few days, I will put you on the ferry. Where you go from there will depend on your fate.”

Shen Duan struggled briefly. He, too, was from a martial background. Despite his injuries, he managed to rise and landed a fierce kick on Gao Yufeng’s abdon. If not for the bodyguards rushing over, Gao Yufeng might have been killed by Shen Duan’s punches.

Gao Yufeng was propped up by his bodyguards, covering his abdon and howling in pain.

His complexion turned pale with pain as he yelled, “Hit him!!! Beat him!!! Beat him to death!!!!!”

At this mont, he bore no resemblance to the Young Master of the Gao Family but rather a street thug, furious and desperate after a losing fight.

Two bodyguards imdiately started punching and kicking Shen Duan, who quickly fell silent.

One of the bodyguards said to Gao Yufeng, “Young Master Gao, he’s almost out of breath. If we keep beating him, he might not make it… After all, the gentleman just now said to spare his life.”

Gao Yufeng was blinded by fury at that mont.

“If he dies, he dies. He’s no more than a watch dog. If he’s dead, just throw him into the sea and say we put him on the ferry.”

He clutched his stomach – it truly hurt; it felt as though his organs had been kicked. Shen Duan had been ruthless. Killing him would be letting him off easy!

The bodyguards hesitated, knowing full well the man who had sat in the wheelchair was not to be trifled with. If it ca to light they had killed Shen Duan, Gao Yufeng could easily walk away scot-free with a few words, while they who dealt the blows might beco the scapegoats…

Gao Yufeng snapped, “What, can’t I command you anymore? Trash! Useless trash!! Dump this Shen Duan into the sea, and if anything happens, I’ll take responsibility!”

Night fell once more.

Two figures in black lifted Shen Duan, hesitated briefly, and did not throw him into the sea.

Instead, they found a raft and placed the unconscious Shen Duan inside.

“Brother, don’t bla us. We’re just doing this for the money. If you have to bla soone, bla Gao Yufeng. He wants you dead, and we’re rely following orders. We really couldn’t bear to actually kill you, so we’re giving you a chance. Whether this raft takes you, let’s see.”

Tang Xi hadn’t gone to the hospital in the past few days because her daughter had a fever.

Tangtang had a viral cold, and several children in her class had caught it too. The teacher said to let the children recover fully before returning to school and to rest well at ho, periodically sending over so class videos.

At ho, while caring for her daughter, Tang Xi opened her computer. She had finished designing her entry for the Shangguan Group design competition and clicked send.

As she stood up, she suddenly felt dizzy.

Reaching up to touch her forehead, she realized that she had caught the cold as well.

Who says only children catch viral colds…

After asuring her temperature, 38.2 degrees Celsius, Tang Xi took a fever-reducing pill. She told Su Wenhe not to co over for the next few days to avoid infecting her.

Su Wenhe was extrely worried when she heard about it.

She insisted on coming over to take care of her and Tangtang.

In a strange place like North Island, eting soone as warm and enthusiastic as Su Wenhe, Tang Xi felt it was her own fortune.

At night, Tang Xi’s fever got quite severe.

She lay in bed, groggy and unable to sleep; tired but uncomfortable when she dozed off.

She tossed and turned, her body burning hot.

Her phone rang once, she didn’t know who was looking for her, it rang several tis in succession.

Tang Xi groped for her phone in bed and finally found it.

“Hello… Who is this…”

“Good evening ma’am, you bought a piece of won’s clothing from our store before… Do you rember?”

Tang Xi’s mind was in a haze.

“Oh….”

“The thing is, that package was lost, we can compensate you tenfold of the price. But our system only supports a certain bank, if you follow my steps, and open Alipay….”

Tang Xi’s phone fell from beside her ear, she didn’t even have the strength to hold it anymore.

Her brain was burning and muddled.

If she were clear-headed, she would have cursed a few tis, calling them heartless scamrs.

Such low-level scam calls, she would hang up as soon as she heard the first sentence.

But in her dazed state, she actually listened to the other party’s extrely non-standard Mandarin for quite a while, Tang Xi was exhausted, to whatever was said on the other end, she only responded with, “Mhm, got it.”

The scamr, finding no amusent, hung up the call.

Tang Xi slept for a while, and only afterwards realized she seed to have answered a call and then hung up; she squinted her eyes and unlocked her phone, scrolled through her contacts, and her finger trembled as she dialed a number.

The call connected very quickly on the other end.

“Hello…” The woman’s voice was hoarse, “You… you called … what’s the matter? My… my package… it’s lost.”

Tang Xi was truly feverish and confused.

On the other end, Fu Tingzhou furrowed his brows.

He listened to the woman’s sowhat labored breathing.

“Tang Xi, why are you calling so late at night? What do you want to do?”

“Uh-huh, my package is lost… are you the courier…”

Fu Tingzhou’s frown deepened, “What exactly are you talking about?”

He also felt that he must be crazy, listening to a woman ramble on late at night.

The man restrained his patience, “Tang Xi, I don’t know what you’re up to, but you wouldn’t call so late just to tell about sothing as nonsensical as losing a package.”

This woman, so nonsensical!

But Fu Tingzhou did not hang up the call.

He had official business to deal with, so he opened his notebook computer, casually placed his phone to the side, and turned on the speaker.

“I… my na is Tang Xi, my package… when you find it, please deliver it to Xingfu Wutong District… there’s a collection point here.”

The man’s fingers were typing on the keyboard, even though he felt ridiculous, he just uttered a “Mhm”.

“Thanks, courier brother.”

Fu Tingzhou, “…”
