Chapter 2143: The Big Haste (9)
Xia Jinyuan’s mood had been low since yesterday. He was locked in the hospital and guarded by two guards.
At the same time, there were still three of his comrades guarding him. Including Li Jinnian, there were six people guarding him!
In order to prevent him from leaving the hospital and running to the Southern Province, the six of them guarded him so that he could not escape!
After receiving Xia Yiwei’s call, Xia Jinyuan, who was on the bed and whose heart had already flown to Ye Jian’s side, didn’t have much interest in listening to her. “It’s not easy for Ye Zhifan to endure his marriage until now. It won’t affect him much.”
“It’s true that the divorce won’t affect him much, but he went to the capital city and suddenly rushed back overnight. He finished the divorce procedures this morning. Find out for yourself what happened to him in the capital city. I suspect it has something to do with the videotape Little Ye sent.”
This sentence piqued Xia Jinyuan’s interest. He smiled and said, “Okay, I understand. Take care of yourself. I’ll keep an eye on you.”
The four comrades who were playing in the ward did not hear much else. They only heard the words ‘keep an eye’. Han Zheng asked, “Who would an injured person like you keep an eye on?”
“It’s not a person. It’s a private matter. I have to keep an eye on Ye Jian to prevent her from being s.n.a.t.c.hed away.” Xia Jinyuan put down his phone and looked at his comrades who were blatantly playing cards in front of him. His thin lips curled up into an elegant smile. “Why don’t you play for a little money? If you don’t play big, you can still play for a few yuan a round.”
Li Jinnian, who had played a card, coldly exposed his comrade’s scheme. “You want us to go back to the military where we’ll be splashed with cold water and be locked in a dark house, right?” No matter how big the bets were, the military forbade gambling!
“Captain, you’re too bad! I almost fell for it!” Han Zheng said as he pressed down on K7’s card with one hand. “Wait, wait, wait. I still have a pair of two spades against each other. Up, up! My two spades are the biggest!”
…
“Are you kidding me? We agreed to not keep cards!”
“Why would I need to keep cards? I’ll remember the cards after a glance. It’s necessary to keep cards.”
“Isn’t that considered as keeping cards?”
Han Zheng and V8 laughed at each other. Although it was a little boring to watch over the disobedient patient, they could still play cards.
They had been playing since the day before and would take turns to rest at night. When they woke up, they played from the morning till now.
Xia Jinyuan looked at his comrades who he definitely couldn’t defeat alone. He pressed his slender fingers against his forehead and asked Han Zheng, “Help me look into something. It’s a little urgent.”
He wanted Han Zheng to find out if there was any conflict between Ye Zhifan and the Du family.
“The Du family? What do you have to do with the Du family? The Du family held a small birthday party for Du Jiayi last night. Everyone who went was their family’s acquaintances and friends. A friend of mine went with his sister. Wait, I’ll call and ask.”
Han Zheng had many good-for-nothing friends. If there was anything, Xia Jinyuan could ask him.
After getting his phone, he stood up and planned to go outside to make a call. Upon dialing the number, he walked out and spoke to his friend. When he looked up, he saw a slender figure walking toward him.
She saw him ahead of time, and there was a faint smile on her lips. “Are you stepping out to busy yourself with some matters?”
‘d.a.m.n! I’m not busy!’
“Help me check if anything major happened at Du Jiayi’s birthday party last night. I won’t talk more about it with you for now, but i’s an emergency. Goodbye.” It took only three seconds for him to finish talking. Then, he smiled widely at Ye Jian. “I’m not busy. I didn’t know you were coming over. Am I considered to have come to pick you up?”
