Lawless Gangster

Extra: Chapter 82 - Part 8-9

08

Qi Xiu Yuan was sick.

Normally his health was exceptionally well...perhaps too well. Even when he was suffering from those injuries for over a hundred days, he was still able to eat deliciously and sleep soundly without any problems. However, when he went to look for Xiao Li yesterday, he caught a little cold, and adding on that emotional roller coaster, along with sleeping with the window open, he actually had a low fever the next morning.

Because of his work, it was customary to go to bed early and get up early. Xiao Li also wake up extra early with him every day. But seeing him in such a weak state, he suggested him to ask for a half a day of leave.

"I'm not that fragile. There shouldn't be any problems going to work." Qi Xiu Yuan said.

Xiao Li thought about it for a second and finally agreed then watched as he took some medicine before heading out, without taking the matter too seriously.

However, he returned home at noon, he saw Qi Xiu Yuan—who was waiting for him to cook—in an ever more sluggish state. Not only had the fever not gone down, he also began to feel dizzy.

"Go to the neighborhood clinic first." Xiao Li said and reached out to pull him back.

"It'll be fine if I just sleep a bit." Qi Xiu Yuan was lying down on the sofa, refusing to get up then simply said a roguish sentence. "How about we do something...if I sweat, I'll be all better."

"Fuck, can you be a bit more serious?" Xiao Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It has truly been a long time since he had last sworn.

Since the two had only been in this province for a short while, they have yet to purchase a thick quilt. As a result, Xiao Li could only cover him with two thin bedsheets and a couple layers of clothes before entering the kitchen to cook.

When he came out, Qi Xiu Yuan was already asleep with his brows wrinkled together—and upon closer look—there was a faint shade of blue under his eyes.

Xiao Li quietly walked over and sat down beside him. After watching him for a moment, he reluctantly woke him up to eat.

In the afternoon, Qi Xiu Yuan insisted that his dizziness has reduced and refused to go to the clinic or stay home to and left to work without consulting anymore.

Xiao Li did not know why but the afternoon rolled by, a strange sense of worry struck him. When he looked at the time and saw that it was almost time for Qi Xiu Yuan to get out of work, he asked Zhang Jie to leave early and rushed to pick him up.

When I arrived at the entranceway, he saw an uncle standing at the side of the road, looking somewhere with an anxious expression.

Xiao Li called out to him and before he could even ask about Qi Xiu Yuan, the uncle quickly walked over. "Aren't you Xiao Yuan Laoshi's[1] friend?" He said impatiently. "Xiao Yuan Laoshi may be in trouble!"

"What's going on?" Xiao Li frowned.

"He dealt with a student who was fighting last time and just now, I saw him, and that student walk out together." The uncle quickly said, "That student knows many higher ups people in society. It was like that before too. You know, he even dared to fight with a teacher and pull a knife out. Xiao Yuan did not know that when he first arrived and not that he has been deceived by that student, nothing good will come of it. I have already called the police, but—"

"Where did they go?" Xiao Li interrupted him.

His temperament changed almost immediately, and the gentle expression he had also suddenly changed. The cruel look that appeared on his face made the uncle, who guarded the doorway, couldn't help but to tremble in fear as he stretched out his fingers toward a certain direction.
