604: Chapter 17: The Second Moth 604: Chapter 17: The Second Moth Xiaobao waited for a long time for Qianxiu, seeing that he still showed no reaction, and couldn’t help but furrow his brows again.

He wasn’t sure whether this guy playing as the Great Knight ‘Qianxiu’ was drunk and passed out, or if he was intoxicated and chatted so much with him that he planned to do something dangerous.

Can you use common sense to think about a drunk person’s behavior?

Obviously not.

But Xiaobao also could not be certain if what this guy just said was true or not…

The internet is filled with many lies and illusions, and the trust built upon it is like rootless duckweed.

Suddenly, Xiaobao shivered, quickly picked up the nearby landline, and made a call, “Hello… Can you transfer me to the internet monitoring department… Okay, I’ll wait… Hello!

Da Niu!

It’s me, Xiaobao!

There’s an urgent matter; can you help me out?

Can you check an IP for me, see where the address is and who the user is?

Ugh, don’t worry about all that, it’s not a bad thing!

What bad thing can I do?

Ah, I’ll send the info right away…

Thank you, thank you!

I’ll wait for your update!”

After hanging up, Xiaobao stared at the screen, watching the time, shaking his leg, not knowing why he was increasingly uncomfortable.

Finally, the phone rang.

“Hello!

Da Niu, did you find it?”

“Found it, but not in our city, though.”

“Where?”

“Next door, a county under Jingyun City, address is…

the household owner shows as a person named Chen Liqun.”

Xiaobao jotted down the information Da Niu provided while saying, “Chen Liqun, right?

Oh oh, male, forty-five years old… What?

Forty-five years old?

Oh oh, nothing, I didn’t say anything.

Alright alright, I’ll treat you to a meal later!”

Xiaobao quickly put on his shoes and coat, ran to the parking lot, started the engine, glanced at the information, furrowing his brows, “Forty-five… not a big shot, more like an uncle right?”

He shook his head, still drove his car, at midnight, not knowing why, foolishly intending to run to the neighboring city.

…

It was indeed midnight… still early morning.

The secretary of Lan Kai, who was dozing off inside the hospital room, suddenly woke up upon hearing a crash.

He saw the woman on the bed looking at him, while the floor held a spilled cup of water.

The secretary jumped up immediately, “Oh my God!

You finally woke up!!

I’ll go call the doctor right away!

Hang on!

Hang on!”

…

“You’re awake, that’s good.

Actually, your body isn’t in much trouble, just need to pay more attention to rest!” The doctor briefly examined her before smiling at the secretary.

The doctor wasn’t easy either; this secretary comes here every day, but doesn’t he also work overtime every day?

“As long as you’re okay, thank you for your hard work, doctor.”

The doctor quickly left, and only then did the secretary hastily brought a glass of water to Xiao Rou, “Drink water, have some water first.”

“Why are you here?” Xiao Rou coldly looked at this secretary… the person by Lan Kai’s side, how could she not recognize him?

The secretary quickly said, “I’m here to look after you, aren’t I?

This is especially instructed by General Lan, how would I dare to leave?

Isn’t it all worth it now that you’ve come back to your senses!”

Xiao Rou sneered, “Is that so?

I think it’s seen as dark moon instead?

Lan Kai probably wishes I would just die, so he wouldn’t be bothered?”

The secretary quickly said, “How could that be!

Certainly not!

You don’t know, General Lan comes here every day!

He even postponed several important project negotiations!

That day, General Lan carried you all the way to the hospital!

Didn’t even change clothes, wearing slippers, and they fell off on the road, General Lan just went barefoot, his skin peeled off several layers!

So, General Lan hasn’t slept much these past few days, has lost a lot of weight, tomorrow if not for the city leaders coming to guide work, with no other way, General Lan wouldn’t go back!”

Xiao Rou turned her gaze away, not looking at this secretary… This person’s words are probably seven parts true three parts false, but maybe wouldn’t dare to speak nonsense about Lan Kai.

The secretary still handed over the water.

Xiao Rou silently received it, drank in small sips.

Seizing the chance to sit down, the secretary said, “I say, General Lan is the person in the world who cares about you the most.

For you two, why bother, right?”

Xiao Rou glared at him, whispered, “You go out.”

“This… this, I-I’d better stay, right?

General Lan told me not to move a step away.”

Xiao Rou hurled the cup, angrily said, “You listen to Lan Kai, don’t listen to me, right?

Are you going out?

If you don’t go out, I’ll go out myself!”

As she spoke, she pulled out the needle from her hand, trying to get out of bed.

“No no no!”

The secretary was helpless, “If I let you leave here, General Lan will definitely twist my head off!

I’ll go out, I’ll go out, alright… but you promise, don’t move around, please please don’t move around!

Please please don’t mess around anymore, okay?”

“Get out!”

“I’m going, I’m going… I’ll go right away.

Outside the door, just outside the door, is that okay?

I’m going, going, going…”

“Wait.”

“Yes, yes!”

“Find me a computer, and get some food, I’m hungry.”

“Right away!

Immediately!

Promise to complete the task!”

…

Around six in the morning, a loud knock on the door abruptly awakened Chen Liqun, who hadn’t gotten up yet.

He draped his coat over himself, opened the door with a face full of irritation, “Who is it!

Early in the morning, can’t a person sleep?”

“Qianxiu?”

“What are you talking about ‘Qianxiu Wanxiu’!

Who are you?

Renting a house?” Chen Liqun frowned, examining the young man with particularly noticeable dark circles—Xiaobao.

Rent a house?

Landlord?

Xiaobao scratched his head, took a step back, looked the uncle up and down, especially at his legs, then asked in confusion, “Are you really not Qianxiu?”

“Damn, are you messing with me early in the morning?” Chen Liqun glared at him.

“No, no, I’m just looking for someone, don’t be angry.” Xiaobao quickly said, “It’s like this, I have a friend who might be living here, do you have someone living here who has difficulty moving?”

“Difficulty moving?” Chen Liqun frowned, “Xiu?

What Xiu something?

You mean Lanxiu?”

“Oh, right, right, Lanxiu, Lanxiu.” Xiaobao nodded smartly, “Uncle, I’m looking for Qianxiu, no, Lanxiu.”

“What is he to you?” The landlord uncle asked suspiciously.

“Friend!” Xiaobao quickly said, “Good friend!”

“How come I’ve never seen you before?” The landlord uncle was still suspicious.

Xiaobao said, “I’m from out of town, just got back, see, my car is parked outside still warm, drove over a hundred kilometers, if you don’t believe me, I’ll show you the record!”

The landlord uncle waved his hand, “No need, no need, that guy hasn’t been here for a long time, no need to look.”

“Ah?

Not here?” Xiaobao said in surprise…

he’s not here, how did he chat with me a few hours ago?

The landlord uncle shook his head, “That guy, really pitiful, paralyzed, can’t even poop or pee.

A few weeks ago he just suddenly fell into a coma while playing on the computer!

I might not have noticed, might have died!”

“Where is he now?” Xiaobao continued to ask.

The landlord uncle said, “Sent to the hospital, later they found his brother, you wouldn’t know, his brother is a young successful entrepreneur in the city!

Heaven and Earth apart, and they’re brothers, so strange, so weird.”

“Which hospital is he in?

Has he been discharged?”

“How would I know?” The landlord uncle shook his head, “The doctor said he’s become a vegetable, might never come back to his senses, if you want to see him, go to the First People’s Hospital in the city!”

“Oh…

alright, thank you, uncle.”

Xiaobao scratched his head all the way out, full of question marks.

Rich brother?

Vegetable?

Devoted woman?

Blue sky?

Internet addiction youth?

Who chatted with me?

Network ghosts?

“What is this?”

Xiaobao suddenly shivered, then got into his car, looked at the time, decision time came—at this point, rushing back to work is still possible, but if he goes to the hospital…

…

“So, do you have anything else to instruct?” The secretary stood anxiously, “Hey, hey, slow down, eat slowly, be careful!

I’ll pour you a glass of water…

just reported to General Lan, he says after the leaders leave, he’ll come see you.”

“Get out, don’t let me see your face.” Xiao Rou coldly glanced.

The secretary could only turn his body to cover his face, silently left the room, but before going out, still said, “If anything comes up, call me, call me…”

A bowl of white porridge was suddenly thrown over, the secretary was frightened and quickly closed the door.

She bit into a fried dough stick, her hand with the IV drip was casually tapping on the notebook’s keyboard.

Dream City, Dark Group 1989…

Several games she logged into, soon shut down, hesitated a moment, Xiao Rou opened up Emerald Fantasy.

With expectations or maybe habits even she didn’t understand, she opened these things that meant nothing to her now.

System prompt: You have eighty-six unread mails.

Even with eighty-six emails, she still seriously clicked through them one by one…

she never allowed herself to miss even one chance of success due to irritability or frustration—even if these emails were from players wanting benefits from her.

Milk God Xiaobao.

When this sender’s name appeared, Xiao Rou hesitated, recalled an incident from a few days ago, felt reluctant to open it…

didn’t want to remember that day.

“Forget it, scared him off, apologize.” Xiao Rou muttered to herself, silly words, “If blue sky knew, he’d surely scold me for being willful again…”

Milk God Xiaobao: Hey…

there’s something I think you should see.

It’s so awesome I couldn’t resist recording, your situation from that day when you died back.

My boss went crazy…

Xiao Rou frowned, subconsciously clicked the link in the email.

In the brilliant scene, that sword-wielding Knight frantically slashing a monster, watching the wildly increasing combo numbers on the screen, Xiao Rou’s fried dough stick dropped.

She moved her lips, slightly parted them, then with trembling hands, held her chest, then covered her lips with both hands.

“Blue sky…

Xiu!

I found you!

I, I finally, finally found you!

I found…

I found you!!”

Unable to wait, she returned to the game, madly buying megaphones for the server, but suddenly stopped herself.

Xiao Rou nervously bit her nails, “No, can’t find him directly…

he’ll run off, he’ll run off like last time…

can’t let him know I found him, can’t, can’t…”

Saying this, she let her tears fall.

Suddenly she hugged the notebook to her chest, “I finally found you!

This time…

I will give you courage!”

Then, she lifted the laptop, walked barefoot off the bed, holding it up, spinning her body in the hospital room, laughing and crying, like a happy moth.
