Chapter 2684: I’d Do Anything for You
“I have a headache. You can eat it.” Cheng Fei waved his hand and rubbed his temple with his other hand.
Ning Shu took a bite of the apple and said, “The doctor said that you have a concussion. You need a CT scan later.”
“How do you guys plan to deal with this matter?” Cheng Fei felt nauseous and dizzy. He was in a lot of discomfort.
With a calm expression, Ning Shu continued to gnaw on the apple. “That is up to Dad, not me. Li Qiang is Dad’s student, after all.”
Cheng Fei laid back down and said to Ning Shu, “You’re right. It’s indeed up to Dad.”
Helplessly, Ning Shu said, “You shouldn’t have rushed over like that.”
Cheng Fei stared at Ning Shu with tear-glazed eyes and said, “I’d do anything for you.”
Ning Shu shifted her gaze. Please don’t look at her like that. She almost can’t help but pity him even though he was a full-grown man.
Ning Shu stood up. “I’ll go get you something to eat.”
Cheng Fei grabbed Ning Shu’s hand and whispered, “Don’t go. I’m not hungry.”
Ning Shu patted Cheng Fei’s hand and pulled her hand away. “Be good. Don’t be willful.”
Ning Shu turned around and left Cheng Fei’s ward.
Cheng Fei stared at Ning Shu’s back, then closed his eyes.
When Ning Shu got home, there was a policeman at her house. She asked, “How is the investigation going?”
“Li Qiang was motivated by his resentment over his thesis,” the policeman said.
“We seized his computer and found chat history between him and a student from the same year named Tian Hai.
“Li Qiang complained about Professor Ai to him. Tian Hai told him that he should teach the professor a lesson; he said that the professor would then definitely kneel down in front of him and beg him for forgiveness.”
The policeman, who was wearing gloves, took out Li Qiang’s laptop and opened the chatting app.
Ning Shu scrolled through the chat history from the top.
There, Li Qiang vented and cursed out Professor Ai.
In turn, this guy, who was called Tian Hai, encouraged him.
“Have you interrogated Tian Hai?” Ning Shu asked the policeman.
“Tian Hai doesn’t look like a person who would do something like this,” Professor Ai said. “How could he encourage Li Qiang to do such a thing?”
“We have questioned Tian Hai. He told us that his account had been stolen and denied that he was the one messaging Li Qiang,” the policeman said. “Please rest assured, Professor Ai. We will investigate this matter thoroughly.”
“Can you find out who stole his account?” Ning Shu asked. She also wrote down Tian Hai’s account ID.
She’d see if she could hack into it later.
It’d depend on whether her hacking skills were up to par.
“Thank you.” Professor Ai shook the policeman’s hand and sent him on his way.
Ning Shu went to see Mother Ai in the bedroom. Mother Ai was lying on the bed; with her eyebrows tightly knitted, she seemed to be thinking of something.
Blood hadn’t even returned to her still pale face.
Ning Shu held Mother Ai’s hand and gave her some spiritual energy. She said, “Mom, you’re safe now.”
Mother Ai looked at Ning Shu and asked, “How is Cheng Fei?”
“He has a concussion, but besides that, he’s fine,” Ning Shu said.
Mother Ai breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness that nothing serious happened to him. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to face Cheng Fei’s parents.”
Cheng Fei’s parents lived abroad most of the time. They rarely ever returned to China.
Ai Yun pretty much never lived with her in-laws.
Mother Ai looked at Ning Shu. “It is said that one can see the true nature of their friends in times of need. Stop thinking about having a divorce. Cheng Fei has done so much for you.
“Whenever something happens at home, Cheng Fei is always the one rushing around to take care of it. You live a very comfortable life, so why do you insist on divorcing him?”
