My Nightclub Landlady

At some point in the night, Green Snake had curled up against Qin Feng"s chest, and she slept more deeply than she had in years . Although not quite what she"d dreamed about, this felt like a small preview of what she"d been hoping for .

At 10 o"clock in the morning, a telephone call for Qin Feng woke him up .

The call was from Sister Flower . She had arrived at the airport and was waiting for a pa.s.senger bus to take her to the city where Qin Feng would pick her up . As Qin Feng discussed details over the phone, Green Snake began to wake up .

She looked unwell and her head pounded . She tried to sit up but weakly fell back against the pillows . Looking at her, Qin Feng reached for her forehead and after a moment said, “You"re burning up . ”

"Ah, it"s probably a reaction to the poison . My body is detoxifying, killing the residual poison with heat . " Green Snake breathed deeply and then said, “Leave me and do your job . Don"t let Sister Flower wait too long . She"s been gone a while and definitely misses you . ”

Qin Feng ignored this comment, saying simply, "Let"s take your temperature first . Wait . ”

He then picked up the bedside phone to call the front desk . He quietly said, "h.e.l.lo, is there a thermometer available? Someone is feeling a little unwell here . "

"Sir, yes, one moment . What is your room number? I"ll have someone bring up a thermometer shortly," the woman at the front desk responded pleasantly .

After he hung up the phone, Qin Feng went to the bathroom to prepare a hot towel for Green Snake . He placed the towel gently on her forehead, then folded the bedding over itself so that she was under double layers .

Although she was bundled up, Green Snake still shivered . She weakly insisted that Qin Feng go pick up Sister Hua, saying, "Don"t worry about me . I"ll be fine . "

"It"s fine . I"ll call a taxi for her . If you"re ill, you need someone to take care of you . And if your temperature is over 39 degrees, we"ll need to go to the hospital . After all, this isn"t an ordinary fever . You were poisoned . We can"t be careless," Qin Feng said seriously .

At that moment, Qin Feng"s phone rang again . He answered and said, “Hey, Sister Flower . I might have--”

Qin Feng hadn"t finished speaking when Sister Flower cut him off and said, "How is everything? Did you miss me? I"m on the bus . I think I"ll be at the downtown station in about thirty minutes . I brought you a lot of good food and some meaningful gifts . I also took a lot of photos to show you and even framed some . So how"s everything there? Did you prepare a surprise for me?"

Hearing her words, Qin Feng felt overwhelmed and guilty . He could not ditch Sister Flower . He couldn"t bear the thought of her loneliness if he made her take a taxi . She"d already endured so much and her only family member in the world had died . Even though she"d been bullied and abused so much, she still had so much heart and spirit . Qin Feng couldn"t bear to crush her spirit .

Qin Fen breathed deeply, and then said, "Sister Flower, I"ll see you soon . I still have something to deal with here first so you might have to wait for me for a little while . Okay?"

Although she was a bit disappointed, Sister Flower simply said, "That"s all right . I"ll listen to songs and read a book while I wait . See you soon!" Then she hung up .

Green Snake had listened to Qin Feng"s side of the phone call and her heart sank . Even though she had protested when Qin Feng had insisted on staying by her side, she secretly hoped she would . However, Green Snake knew that just because she"d opened up to Qin Feng, she didn"t have any power to change him or his heart .

Just then, the thermometer arrived . Green Snake"s temperature was nearly 40 degrees .

By this time, Green Snake had gone white . She trembled beneath the layered quilt and her lips had taken on a purple tint .

Qin Feng worried that perhaps the One-Eyed Dragon had only given them half of the antidote, but there was no time to consider that possibility and no way to get the rest of the antidote from the dead man if it was true .

He turned to Green Snake and anxiously said, “Can you stand? We need to go to the hospital . I"ll contact the military department and get the antidote from them . ” He reached over to help Green Snake up, but she pulled her arm away .

“You don"t need to worry about me . I"m fine . Go pick up Sister Flower . Don"t make her wait . ” Green Snake delivered each word tensely, and Qin Feng wasn"t sure if it was because of pain from the poison or something else .

"Come on . We need to get to the hospital and get you morphine . I"ll contact the military immediately about the antidote . " Qin Feng then put his arm around Green Snake and pulled her up .

She still tried to squirm away from him, saying, “If you take me, Sister Flower will--”

"Enough . Don"t worry about her . You could die . The antidote likely only eliminated half of the toxins in your body, and now the other half has begun its attack . If we don"t deal with this right now, it could have serious results . "

Qin Feng quickly dressed Green Snake, wrapped his coat around her body, and then picked her up and carried her out of the room .

He drove as quickly as he could back to the city and ran into the hospital with her . However, the doctor informed him that there was no medicine at the hospital that was guaranteed to be able to control the toxin . There were other drugs that might have some effect on Green Snake"s symptoms, but none that the doctors dared to use because of how they might react with the poison in her system .

Qin Feng groaned and immediately called the headquarters . Unfortunately, Li Jian was the person who answered his call . They hadn"t spoken since their argument . After hearing Qin Feng"s voice, he denied his request for a helicopter, saying that Qin Feng didn"t have the right to make such a request .

Qin Feng hung up the phone and called Lei Ming directly . Lei Ming had been thinking about Qin Feng lately and was pleased to see the man"s name come up on his phone . After answering and hearing Qin Feng"s urgent request, he immediately drove to the headquarters building .

Lei Ming found Li Jian in the phone room bragging to his female colleagues about some nonsense . Without saying a word, Lei Ming beat Li Jian until his teeth were scattered across the floor . Zhang Shan had caught wind of what was happening and he"d jumped in to help Lei Ming . In minutes, Li Jian"s nose was swelling and he was on the ground with his teeth crying for his grandpa .

Li Jian dared to bully the weak and was bold enough to a.s.sume that he could bully Qin Feng if he wasn"t there to strike any blows himself . However, he underestimated Qin Feng"s power and sway . Li Jian treated him like a common man, but in fact, Qin Feng"s background was enough to frighten even the higher officials in the military department to death . Compared to him, the fathers and grandfathers of high-ranking men looked like peasants .

Qin Feng, however, did not want to expose all of his cards until the crucial moment . When he first entered the army, Qin Wannian had ensured Qin Feng"s background and family relationships were obscured so that he could receive the purest training in the army .

Chapter 162 Pure Training. Eventually, the two exhausted fighters finally fell asleep . At some point in the night, Green Snake had curled up against Qin Feng"s chest, and she slept more deeply than she had in years .
