On the second day, Cheng Yang finally received his reply, but his expression was extremely gloomy.

Zhong Wentao clearly saw his change in expression from the bed next door.

"What's wrong?"

Zhong Wentao asked coldly, knowing that something bad must have happened.

"Zheng Yu was attacked. He is in Xiangjiang Hospital. Bai Shiyun is taking care of him. The situation is very serious."

Cheng Yang immediately said.

"How could that be?"

Zhong Wentao was also surprised, he never expected such an outcome.

When Zheng Yu was attacked at Xiangjiang River, who did it?

Taking out the phone, Zhong Wentao immediately dialed Bai Shiyun's number. After being connected, he carefully asked about the process, but he could not determine who the person was.

Zheng Yu had fought with the assassin for a few moves, but still failed to find any clues.

It was as if another power had suddenly appeared to attack them. However, they did not know what was going on at all.

You guys can't stay in the hospital. It's too dangerous for you to bring Zihan away, and make the Uncle Zhou take care of him, don't get too close. If there's a chance, make him come back immediately.

Zhong Wentao instructed him seriously. This was the only way.

He and Cheng Yang could not leave Pine City, and since Feng Chen did not have any martial arts, there was no use in going. He was worried that someone would use Zheng Yu as bait to lure them over to Xiangjiang, so something bigger would happen.

The situation of the Zheng Family had not been resolved, so they could not leave.

If they did not have the secret garden, they might have been able to leave, but after knowing of the existence of the secret garden, he had to guard here. This was the secret of the Zheng Family, he had already lifted the veil of the secret, and could not let it go.

If he missed this chance, the next time he would be able to understand the Zheng Family.

Maybe it was done by the Zheng Family, and it was possible for them to leave.

This possibility made it even more impossible for them to leave. They had to stay here.

It was easy to leave, but difficult to return. It wasn't easy for Zheng Family to chase them away.

The door was pushed open, and Zheng Ji came over. He directly pushed the door open without knocking, as if they were very familiar with each other, making Cheng Yang frown in dissatisfaction.

"I knocked on the door. You didn't hear me."

Zheng Ji immediately explained, feeling a little awkward.

"Is that so?"

Cheng Yang asked coldly, not believing him.

If there really was a knock on the door, how could they not hear it?

"Why are you here?"

Zhong Wentao interrupted his speech as he asked curiously. Zheng Ji wasn't such a careless person; he must have met with some mishap for him to suddenly come over.

"My brother is sick."

Zheng Ji opened his mouth awkwardly, the purpose behind this action was obvious.

"Zheng Qing is sick?"

Zhong Wentao was very surprised. How could a person who was fine yesterday be sick?

Cheng Yang looked at Zheng Ji, could this be the latest trick?

"You'll know when you go take a look …"

Zheng Ji was unable to explain and he was also unwilling to pass the information down, but the old man insisted that he say it out.

Without waiting for Zhong Wentao to speak, Zheng Ji left first.

The two of them looked at each other, then slowly arrived at Zheng Qing's room. It was a room in the middle of the second floor, which was about the same as Zheng Ji's previous house, and was also a dark color.

Zheng Qing laid on the bed. With the doctor being busy at the side, he had already started to drip water for him. The old man had invited his family's doctor, a western doctor.

Seeing the western medicine on this occasion, Zhong Wentao's mood was also not very good.

It was not the first day that Western medicine did not match up with Chinese medicine.

The old man had never planned to look for him to treat Zheng Qing. Since he had already found the right doctor, and had already examined him every single bit, Zheng Ji was definitely worried for the old man by doing this, and wanted him to come over to examine him again. The old man did not want to worry about the old man any further.

However, this was the taboo between doctors. Stealing from patients was not acceptable, and this should not happen.

"Why are you guys here?"

The old tutor questioned coldly, his tone quite dissatisfied.

The matter of Zheng Qing being sick should not be known, but two troublesome people suddenly appearing out of nowhere.

Zhong Wentao glanced at Zheng Ji, who was currently looking elsewhere and did not intend to answer in the slightest.

It was obvious that Zheng Ji didn't want the old man to know that he was the one who did all this. Zhong Wentao still needed Zheng Ji, so he could only agree.

"I thought it was a little strange, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect the Second Young Master to really be sick."

"Hmph."

The old tutor didn't believe that this was true at all.

"Since Second Young Master is already resting, let's go out."

Zhong Wentao's attitude was very respectful, and no matter how the old man treated him, he maintained a calm expression.

This point, the old man admired it as well. Without saying anything more, he waved his hand and told Zhong Wentao to leave.

The old man hadn't figured out what had happened with the jade pendant yet, so he wouldn't let Zhong Wentao leave so quickly.

If not for Zheng Qing's sudden sickness, perhaps he would have had a good talk with Zhong Wentao about the jade pendant.

Thinking of this, a pair of sharp eyes looked at Zheng Qing who was on the bed.

Being so ill so suddenly, how could he not suspect it?

Feeling the old man's gaze, Zheng Qing only closed his eyes quietly and did not dare to open them, afraid that he would see the old man's eyes.

Zheng Ji still needed Zhong Wentao, the doctor, and he also needed the peace of the Zheng Family.

Right now, according to the flow of Yan Jing, they had been dealt a huge blow. If something were to happen to Zheng Family, then maybe the four great families would completely become two families and they would lose the chance to stand on three sides.

The Ximen family had sent people to come and propose marriage and even bring a betrothal gift, but being rejected by the Jiang Family, no one would forget about this matter in a few decades. Ximen Nuan was just a joke, but no one dared to smile in front of him, and could only mock him from the shadows.

Because of this action, the shares of the Jiang Family dropped by 30 points, and the billions of dollars' worth of funds disappeared without a trace.

Zheng Family's ability could not compare to Jiang Family's, so Ximen Nuan would look over sooner or later. Jiang Family's failure to appreciate favors was simply taking the initiative to block Zheng Family's path, if Jiang Family did not exist now, this would be the result.

The old man didn't care about this, but he couldn't not mind it. In order for the Zheng Family to continue to live well, he had to choose to be sick and make the Zheng Family silent, or else he would be targeted by even more people.

After a long while, this fierce gaze finally disappeared. Zheng Qing heaved a sigh of relief, and slightly opened his eyes, meeting his own brother's gaze.

Zheng Ji didn't say anything, but that pair of bright eyes seemed to know how to speak.

Zheng Ji seemed to be saying: I knew it, it's really like that!

He had always thought that his brother was very stupid, but now, he realized that maybe he was the most stupid one. Even Zheng Ji could see through his tricks, let alone the old man.

The reason the lordmaster didn't speak was because he didn't have evidence and didn't want to bother with him.

If this continued, he would be completely abandoned by the honored tutor.

He didn't even dare to think about the consequences of being abandoned.

He only slowly sat up in bed after the old tutor had left.

Even though he had planned it himself, the old man was truly sick. Otherwise, the old man wouldn't let him off.

Yesterday night, he soaked himself in cold water because he wanted to have a severe fever. He asked the doctor to come here and treat it, and now, he still felt his whole body was cold and very lifelike.

He had already forgotten how many years it had been since he was sick, and for the sake of the Zheng Family, he had already given it his all.

"Stupid."

Sitting on the chair, Zheng Ji spoke coldly, it was very different from when he was facing Zhong Wentao and the others.

Zheng Qing said bitterly: "Jiang Family is almost destroyed by the attack, do you want us to become the next Jiang Family?"

There was dissatisfaction in his words, and also dissatisfaction. Zheng Ji didn't care about anything, but it seemed like she was still berating him.

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse."

Zheng Ji said calmly: "Since Jiang Family has the ability to reject them, then it means that they have other means. Otherwise, with people like Jiang Yun, how would they view themselves as people who are willing to give up everything that they have?"

"What do you mean?"

Zheng Qing asked.

"They have other trump cards, the reason they refused to propose is just to clarify their relationship with the Ximen family. Maybe... is still a hint to someone. "

Zheng Ji laughed: "Maybe this is a signal for them to make peace with someone."

"What signal?"

Zheng Qing quickly asked, extremely curious.

Zheng Ji shook his head lightly, not intending to say it out loud.

No matter how Zheng Qing asked, it was useless. Zheng Ji only smiled and didn't say anything.

This deep sense of powerlessness made her want to die. She had never understood that her brother was even more confused now.

On the other side, Zhong Wentao and Cheng Yang had already returned to their room. The Zheng Family's water was deeper than they had thought, but in this dark and gloomy building, they had their hands and feet tied, and could not carry out any investigations.

They could not easily enter the secret garden either. The only place they could investigate was the garden, so there was no point in continuing to stay here.

"We have to leave!"

Cheng Yang earnestly said. He absolutely could not be trapped here by the old man.

It was as if they were trapped in this place and could not leave. When they wanted to leave, there would always be something holding them back and making them stay here. This place was like the stomach of a monster, the moment they wanted to leave, they would be swallowed by the monster until they reached a deeper place.

That was exactly the case with the secret garden. After suddenly being discovered, there were so many treasures inside, and even something that Zhong Wentao wanted to find, making it impossible for them to leave immediately.

"You're right."

Zhong Wentao nodded his head seriously, his mind was not clouded yet.

The lordmaster had a goal, and he could feel it.

He had to leave before the old tutor's goal was achieved, or else he wouldn't dare to imagine the consequences.

He made up his mind that after drank the medicine after breakfast, Zhong Wentao would immediately announce that he had fully recovered. In the future, he would not need to eat any medicine.
