Hearing Liu Fugui's words, Hu Zi quickly set down the water bucket and walked over, a cloth still slung over his shoulder, asking half-believingly, "How did he get in a car accident? Why blame it on his girlfriend?"
"He said it himself, could it be fake?" Liu Fugui glared at him. "He was driving well, and then suddenly his body went out of control when he had the thing his girlfriend gave him on him."
Lu Fei asked, "What thing?"
"He couldn't explain clearly on the phone, he was in a panic. Brother Lu, if you have time, let's go to the hospital now; he might really lose his life," Liu Fugui said seriously.
"Alright, let's go now."
Lu Fei had nothing else to do anyway, so it would be good to go and take a look.
If there really is something harmful, then he could take in another evil object.
Right away, he asked Hu Zi to get things ready.
Close the door, put up the sign.
The three of them walked towards the parking lot.
"Hmph, Hu Zi, hand over the money," Liu Fugui smugly extended his plump hand towards Hu Zi.
Earlier, he and Hu Zi had made a bet that Zhou Yuyang's bad luck was due to his girlfriend borrowing his fortune, and whoever lost would give five hundred yuan.
"It's not certain yet! Why the rush?"
Huzi, concealing the regret on his face, brushed off his hand and quickly stepped forward to open the car door for Lu Fei.
"Boss, please get in."
Lu Fei got into the back seat.
"Wow! Brother Lu, is this your new car?"
Liu Fugui's eyes lit up as he touched and looked around, full of admiration.
"I've been eyeing this model for quite some time, but I just couldn't bring myself to buy it. I'm not going to use my old clunker, I'll ride in your new car and borrow some of your good luck."
"It's not like you can't afford it," Lu Fei smiled.
"My car can still be used after some repairs. Money is hard to earn, and life is tough. Not everyone can make money as easily as you do; every bit saved is a bit earned."
Liu Fugui waved his hand and got into the car.
Huzi skillfully pressed the gas pedal, and the black SUV quickly drove out of the parking lot.
Jiangcheng People's Hospital.
"Mr. Zhou, are you feeling better?"
Lu Fei and his two companions, carrying a fruit basket, walked into the ward and immediately saw Zhou Yuyang, who was covered in bandages, lying on the hospital bed.
Zhou Yuyang had his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
Sitting by the bedside was a woman with a pure and innocent appearance, holding a sharp fruit knife and peeling an apple.
Seeing the visitors, she quickly put down the apple, made a gesture to be quiet, and then asked cautiously in a low voice, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"We are friends of Mr. Zhou. We heard he was in a car accident, so we came to check on him." Liu Fugui placed the fruit basket on the nightstand and gave the girl a quick glance.
"You must be Miss Xiao Ying, Mr. Zhou's girlfriend, right?"
The woman was beautiful and pure, her smooth black hair flowing over her shoulders, her skin fair and delicate, like an innocent little bunny.
"Mmm." She nodded, her eyes, as dark as grapes, looked at the three unexpected guests, offering a polite yet weary smile.
"I'm sorry, Yuyang just fell asleep not long ago, and I don't want to wake him up. The car accident has affected him a lot; he's been on edge these past few days and hasn't had a good night's sleep at all."
"It's okay, we're not in a hurry, we can wait..." said Li Fugui with a familiar smile.
Ding Xiaoying's slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she wanted to say something more, but then Zhou Yuyang opened his eyes from the hospital bed.
"Brother Liu, you guys... are here!"
His eyes were full of red blood vessels, and he became a bit excited upon seeing Li Fugui and Lu Fei, struggling to sit up.
"Yuyang, take it easy."
Ding Xiaoying hurriedly helped him, placing a pillow behind his back.
"Xiaoying, Brother Liu is a very good friend of mine, and I'm really happy they came to see me," Zhou Yuyang managed to smile despite his haggard face.
"Um, go downstairs and buy a few bottles of water. How can we have guests and not even offer them a drink?"
"Oh, okay." Ding Xiaoying straightened his clothes, her eyes full of concern, "Don't tire yourself out, I'll be back soon."
"Mm."
Zhou Yuyang nodded with a smile.
Ding Xiaoying picked up her bag and hurried out of the ward.
Staring at her back, Zhou Yuyang's eyes became extremely complicated.
Liu Fugui made sure that Ding Xiaoying had gone downstairs, closed the ward door, and then asked, "President Zhou, what exactly happened? I think your sister-in-law is a good person. Is there a misunderstanding?"
"I truly wish it was a misunderstanding." Zhou Yuyang sighed deeply, "But that thing was given to me by her personally."
"What exactly is it?" Liu Fugui asked eagerly, "I even invited Manager Lu here for you. Quickly take it out and let Manager Lu have a look!"
Lu Fei and Hu Zi also looked at Zhou Yuyang with great curiosity.
"President Zhou, don't worry. I will help you if I can."
"That thing is no longer on me! After the car accident, I passed out. When I woke up in the hospital, the thing was gone. I don't know if it was broken or taken by her," Zhou Yuyang said with a bitter smile.
"Then what is it, you have to describe it." Liu Fugui was getting anxious.
"It's a pendant, a small frosted glass bottle hanging on a black string, with red liquid inside," Zhou Yuyang said, thinking carefully.
"Red liquid, what is it? It can't be blood, right?" Liu Fugui widened his eyes.
"I don't know... She said this thing is called a Heart-to-Heart Pendant, representing her feelings for me and could protect my health and safety," Zhou Yuyang said with a pained expression.
"Didn't you say she stole your nails and hair to borrow your luck? How could you still accept something from her?" Liu Fugui said in confusion.
"I know she wouldn't admit it if I asked her directly. When I got home that day, I tested her a few times, and she acted normal. I also observed her secretly, and she didn't seem to care about my nails and hair. I thought maybe I was just overthinking it..."
Zhou Yuyui's bandaged body began to tremble.
"We've known each other for three years. I really didn't want it to be her, but I never expected..."
"I really don't know what I did wrong for her to do this to me! Taking away my luck and even trying to take my life!"
"When I put on the pendant, I suddenly felt everything turn red. I couldn't see anything, and my body wouldn't move, so that's why I crashed..."
Liu Fugui and Lu Fei exchanged a glance.
Actually, it's not surprising that Zhou Yuyang was taken in. The woman had an innocent and harmless look, and she acted very caring. Who wouldn't be confused by that?
Lu Fei said, "Once borrowing luck involves blood, it's not a good thing. Borrowing blood luck is the most ruthless kind. Ordinary luck borrowing takes a little bit each day, but borrowing blood luck takes all of your luck at once."
"Without luck, a person's days are naturally over."
As he spoke, he frowned slightly.
"But that would mean she took your blood, not that she gave you something containing blood. That pendant is truly strange. Moreover, I just took a look, and her luck is quite ordinary. It doesn't seem like she has hit a big stroke of luck."
"Borrowing blood luck?!" Zhou Yuyang turned pale, "I lost a lot of blood in the car accident. Does that count?"
"Wow! That's too brutal! Boss Zhou, if I may be blunt, did you do something to wrong her?" Hu Zi gasped, finding it hard to believe.
Without any reason, why would someone be so brutal to their own boyfriend?
