Chapter 123: A Trip to the Gates of Hell
Suddenly, a hurried and heavy sound of footsteps came from afar, penetrating the dull air. Fu Yansheng's originally dull eyes suddenly lit up, like a meteor that suddenly appeared in the night sky, flashing the light of hope.
Zheng Jiaxuan is finally back...
Fu Yansheng's voice trembled slightly, mixed with anxiety and expectation that were difficult to conceal, and asked: "Have you found it?"
Zheng Jiaxuan was covered in dust, the corners of his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he looked extremely tired. He shook his head slightly, with a trace of helplessness and unwillingness between his brows.
"We lost track of him outside the city. We think he's in the area of the summer resort."
There was a firmness in his tone, and every word he said was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of everyone present.
"Uncle Wang!" Fu Yansheng gave orders quickly, his voice calm and decisive.
"Notify Jingzhao Yin to focus on investigating the villages surrounding the Summer Resort and make sure not to miss any clues."
"Understood." The response was brief and firm, revealing the executor's absolute obedience to the order.
"Where's Zhang Xiyue? If anything happens to Ruomo, I'll never forgive her!"
Zheng Jiaxuan's voice was low and dangerous, with anger surging in his eyes.
The anger caused by Zhang Xiyue made his eyes towards Fu Yansheng filled with indescribable complex emotions.
If it weren't for the fact that he still bears the responsibility of being Mo Hui's husband, he might have been unable to endure this oppression long ago and would have wanted to cut off all injustice.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yansheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiyue has been taken to Jingzhao Prefecture Prison. She will pay the price for what she has done."
"Really? The Prime Minister has finally made up his mind to punish your cousin. She has repeatedly hurt Mohui. If Mohui really has an accident this time, your Fu family and I will never coexist with each other!"
Zheng Jiaxuan's words were powerful and every word was as cold as ice.
Fu Yansheng knew very well that all of Zheng Jiaxuan's emotions came from his deep affection for Ling Mohui, and at this moment, he did not want to argue with him.
He sighed softly, "Let's go! For Mo Hui's sake, I won't bother with you today."
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes. Fatigue surged over him like a tide. The torment of a sleepless night had pushed his body and mind to the limit.
Ling Mo replied, "Are you not coming back on purpose?"
Are you blaming me, thinking that I didn't protect you well?
Just when the atmosphere was tense, Ling Chuyun and Ding arrived in a hurry.
Seeing this, Ling Chuyun almost wanted to step forward and argue with Fu Yansheng, his fists clenched and his anger almost beyond words, but he was finally stopped by the rational Ding.
"Dad and Mom are still at home waiting for news of Mo Hui. What we should be most concerned about now is Mo Hui's safety. Let's put other things aside for the time being."
Ding's gentle yet firm voice was like a stream of clear water, easing the tense atmosphere.
Ling Chuyun gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, pointed his finger at the tip of Fu Yansheng's nose, and warned: "You'd better pray that Mo Hui can come back safely, otherwise, I will be the first one to settle the score with you!"
……
On the other side, the gate of the summer resort was tightly closed at dawn. Even the distinguished guests from the capital who were highly respected in the past were politely asked to leave this quiet place.
Inside the summer resort, the spacious courtyard now seemed exceptionally empty and deserted, with only a few people guarding it, and an indescribable solemnity permeating the air.
Han Zifeng slowly closed the door, turned and faced the old man with long flowing beard standing in the corridor, his eyes full of respect.
"Doctor Guo! Mohui was able to escape from the gates of hell this time, all thanks to your superb medical skills!" He bowed respectfully to express his gratitude.
Guo Yueshan looked old but still carefree. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "These are all duties of a doctor. No need to be polite. If you have a chance to see His Majesty in the future, please ask His Majesty for some precious medicinal herbs for me."
Han Zifeng laughed loudly when he heard this: "Of course, I will always remember Doctor Guo's kindness."
Then, his expression turned worried, and he asked, "Doctor Guo, Mo Hui's poison was clearly lifted last night, why hasn't she woken up yet?"
Guo Yueshan frowned slightly and answered slowly: "The toxin has been in the body for too long and may have affected some of the brain nerves."
"What will be the consequences?" Han Zifeng's heart tightened and he asked urgently.
Guo Yueshan seemed quite calm, "It's not serious, it may be memory confusion or cognitive deviation."
"Isn't this a big deal? Doesn't it mean..." Han Zifeng's expression changed, and his tone revealed an unacceptable shock.
Guo Yueshan caught the change in his mood and quickly explained: "Don't worry, these are temporary phenomena. As long as you get more rest, it is entirely possible that Miss Ling will recover as before."
Han Zifeng looked a little relaxed, but still couldn't hide his worry: "When you say anytime, how long do you mean?"
His heart was filled with worries about the uncertainty of the future and a deep hope that Ling Mohui would wake up soon.
"It's hard to say. It may only take a few days, or it may take several months. I estimate that your body will recover within half a year at most."
Guo Yueshan spoke slowly, with a hint of uncertainty in his words, yet still with the confidence of a professional.
Half a year is still within an acceptable range.
In Han Zifeng's heart, the most important thing is that she can return safely. This comfort is enough to offset all the anxiety and uneasiness of waiting.
“All the hardships we have endured are worth it.”
Han Zifeng sighed softly in his heart, and his words were full of acceptance and relief at the fate.
Han Zifeng changed the subject and mentioned the remuneration, his tone filled with sincere gratitude.
"I will double the amount of money when I leave the mansion. Please be patient, Doctor Guo."
"The poison has been resolved. I can't help you here anymore."
Guo Yueshan frowned slightly, looking a little impatient, and obviously not very interested in staying.
"Mohui has not yet woken up. When she opens her eyes, if everything is fine, I will personally escort Doctor Guo away safely."
Han Zifeng's words revealed an unyielding insistence, and his eyes flashed with worry about the uncertainty of the future and deep concern for Ling Mohui.
Guo Yueshan's eyes inadvertently slid across the tightly closed door, and he said with a complicated expression: "This woman, do you know that she has a family? Don't get too involved, lest you fall in love with her but fail to have a good relationship with her and end up causing yourself trouble."
After saying that, Guo Yueshan gently patted Han Zifeng on the shoulder, turned around and walked away, leaving behind a resolute back.
There was an imperceptible bitterness in Han Zifeng's smile. He turned and walked into the room, feeling mixed emotions.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ling Mohui sitting quietly by the window. Her lifeless eyes seemed to penetrate time and space and look directly into the depths of his soul.
Han Zifeng's heart trembled violently, and his body instinctively stepped back. His shoulder accidentally hit the door frame, and the pain brought him back to his senses.
