Yan Zhi, with the help of one of his closest friends took various tests and it was confirmed that he was being fed with a slow acting poison and if he hadn't come for this check up, he might've passed away unexpectedly in a few months.
Yan Zhi's face was dark as he looked at the medical report. He knew very well that the only people close enough to poison him and then manipulate his half a yearly routine check was his 'family'.
No wonder his sister suddenly became enthusiastic and kept sending food to him. Turns out it was poison.
He felt like there was a hand pressing on his chest and he was extremely uncomfortable. A face came into his mind and the discomfort was alleviated somewhat.
An Chaoyue looked at the person and didn't know what words of comfort to say. But fortunately the person came out of his gloom.
"What's important now is to start treatment. But we can't let the person behind this to find out so you should act like nothing happened during this period."
An Chaoyue sighed and clasped his shoulder
"Don't worry I won't expose you "
Yan Zhi got a treatment plan and went straight to Fu Ling's house.
He knocked on the door and the child from last time opened the door. The boy glared at him slightly and called out to the person inside.
"Dad the uncle from last time is here again"
Yan Zhi was taken aback and looked at the boy carefully again when he heard Fu Ling's voice from inside
"You brat since when have you called me dad normally? Who are you trying to prank this time?"
His voice reached the door before him and he didn't seem surprised to see Yan Zhi. He patted the kids head
"Tao Ran let the guests in"
Yan Zhi walked in and sat
"I'm here to thank you thank you this time. If not for your reminder, I wouldn't have known how I died."
Fu Ling yawned slightly
"It's okay. It's what I should do."
Yan Zhi stayed for a while and then Fu Ling saw him off again.
When he came in, he saw the child looking at him with a critical look in his eyes.
"What are you thinking?"
Tao Ran asked him directly
"Do you like that man?"
Fu Ling laughed
"Is it that obvious?"
Tao Ran shook his head
"Not really. I just know you"
Fu Ling rubbed the child's head
"Mnnnm you know me best"
Tao Ran looked at his back worriedly and then decided he would stand with Fu Ling no matter what decision he took.
Yan Zhi on the other hand began to pay more and more attention to Fu Ling. So much so that it was bordering on obsession.
He wasn't stupid. He knew he had fallen in love with Fu Ling. Maybe from the first day they met but he didn't plan to do anything about these feelings. Fu Ling was probably straight. He had a wife and had been married for fourteen years. If not for his nephew maybe they would still be married.
He said so but was unwilling in his heart so he found someone to do an in dept investigation on Rong Hua. When the report came in, he was disgusted. This kind of woman had occupied Fu Ling for more than fourteen years.
Yan Zhi looked at the report and made a decision in his heart. After he's done dealing with those snakes in his family, he'll officially start pursuing Fu Ling.
He smiled to himself while imagining how good life would be then.
And he also had to let Fu Ling see the true face of his ex wife incase she came back.
Fu Ling didn't know what plan Yan Zhi was making and decided that this would be the perfect time to get closer to him. He was no longer shackled by family affection and was undoubtedly more clearheaded.
And so, with the help of the system panel, Yan Zhi happened to run into Fu Ling nine out of ten times he was out.
They would nod to each other at first but the more it kept happening and the way Fu Ling started looking at him strangely, he wanted to explain himself but didn't have any proof. What's more he had considered stalking Fu Ling previously. Who knew their fate with each other would be so good that they could meet even outside the city?
Of course Yan Zhi never thought that his innocent baby would be the one doing the stalking and only thought it was destiny. Coincidentally this same destiny saved his life.
Fu Ling got Yan Zhi's coordinations from the panel and went there in a good mood. He knew that his current behavior was like that of the thief crying thief but Yan Zhi didn't even suspect him at all. If he had checked, he would find out that Fu Ling only got to those places after he did. Every single time.
But maybe even if he knew, he still wouldn't think that Fu Ling was stalking him and would only guess that Fu Ling's schedule was running behind his.
Fu Ling hummed a tone in the taxi and after getting to the location he looked around vigilantly. What would Yan Zhi be doing at an abandoned warehouse?
He snuck in and saw a figure curled up on the floor and his pupils shrank. He saw the two men kick him twice and then leave but his eyes were focused on the still figure.
His hands shook as he ran to the person and checked his breath. He took a deep breath and held Yan Zhi's hand tightly.
He carefully picked him up and placed him on his back. Fu Ling walked all the way from that abandoned factory to his house. He walked carefully making sure not to jostle the person on his back.
When he finally got home, Tao Ran was pacing with worry. The moment he caught sight of Fu Ling, he was about to start asking questions but then took note of the person on hus back and swallowed all the questions.
He held the door open and went to the kitchen to boil water.
When he saw Yan Zhi's condition under the light, he cursed.
"I'll go buy medicine"
