Chapter 680: Chu Hongqing’s Old Classmate
As the lights were not on and the windows were closed, the room was very dark.
When Chu Hongqing, who was lying on the bed, heard someone enter, he hurriedly sat up and switched on the lamp by the bed.
“Uncle.”
Chu Sihan shouted.
“Ah Yan is back?” Chu Hongqing rubbed his temples and said weakly, “I’m groggy and sleepy, but I can’t sleep. Once I close my eyes, I panic. I don’t know what happened.”
Chu Hongzhong walked to the side and poured him a cup of warm water.
After he finished drinking, he said in a low voice, “I think we will have to get Lu Sheng to come and take a look.”
Chu Hongzhong did not believe in these in the past. However, after meeting Lu Sheng and the rest, he started to believe them.
“Uncle, where have you been recently?”
Chu Sihan pulled a chair over and sat down at the head of the bed.
Chu Hongqing shook his head. “I didn’t go anywhere. I went to places I often go.”
“Have you eaten anything special?” Chu Sihan pondered for a moment and asked.
“Special food…”
Chu Hongqing frowned and fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, “If there’s anything special about eating, it’s drinking wine an old classmate brought back from the countryside. It’s said to be a type of medicinal wine. Drinking it can relieve fatigue.”
He had just finished speaking to a client and was feeling a little tired. Seeing that the old classmate poured some wine for him, he drank it.
Chu Sihan nodded and asked, “Everyone else drank?”
“It was just me and that old classmate back then. However, he drank too.”
“Ah Yan, are you suspicious of the wine?”
Seeing his son keep asking, Chu Hongzhong guessed something.
Chu Sihan nodded and asked Chu Hongqing, “Uncle, do you often contact that old classmate?”
“I haven’t seen him for ten years,” Chu Hongqing said. “I had just finished meeting my client and was about to go home when I saw him downstairs at the company. We were in the same dormitory in school and had a good relationship. Hence, he invited me to a nearby restaurant for a meal and I agreed.”
“What’s with the wine?” Chu Hongzhong asked.
Chu Hongqing also sensed that something was amiss and hurriedly replied obediently, “He said that he had just returned from visiting his mother in the countryside. His mother asked him to bring the wine along. He initially wanted to drink it himself, but when he met me and saw my tired expression, he took the initiative to pour half a bowl for me.”
Chu Hongzhong frowned. “Why did he appear downstairs?”
“He drives a Didi. He said that he was sending a customer to the vicinity. He was about to leave when he met me.”
Chu Sihan laughed coldly. “How can there be so many coincidences in this world?”
He looked at Chu Hongqing and said, “Uncle, do you know where your old classmate lives?”
“I’m not sure.” Chu Hongqing shook his head. “He only left me a phone number.”
Chu Sihan said, “You said that he drank that wine too. Then, we’ll ask him and see if anything happened to him.”
Chu Hongqing nodded and hurriedly took out his phone. He found the number and dialed it.
The phone rang a few times, indicating that the call was in progress.
Chu Hongqing called again. This time, his phone was switched off.
“It’s switched off!”
As he had turned on the speaker, Chu Sihan and Chu Hongzhong could hear everything.
Chu Hongzhong said in a deep voice, “There must be something wrong with your old classmate!”
“But he used to be a very honest person. Moreover, I have no grievances with him. Why did he want to harm me?” Chu Hongqing really could not understand.
After all, he had not seen that old classmate for ten years. Would he harm him at first sight?
Chu Hongzhong said lightly, “There’s no knowing what’s in one’s heart. Moreover, you haven’t seen each other for ten years.”
