Chapter 318 The Illness Worsens
The moment Lin Zhu closed the door, Li Chenxu's calm expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant.
He picked up the phone and dialed Bai Ye's number directly.
"Are you free now? I have something to talk to you about."
"Where are you now? I'm coming right away."
Li Chenxu rarely spoke to Bai Ye in such a serious tone. Bai Ye was a smart man, and as soon as he heard Li Chenxu's voice, he knew that something was wrong. So he agreed without hesitation.
"When you come to the company, don't drive your old car. You'd better disguise yourself so no one can recognize you."
Li Chenxu has only just arrived at the company. If he were to leave now, it would definitely arouse suspicion. Therefore, Bai Ye is the only option at this time.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye immediately understood Li Chenxu's meaning. Both of them were decisive people, so they didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Li Chenxu immediately turned it back on and reset his computer's security system.
The reason he did this was obvious: he suspected Lin Zhu.
Strictly speaking, Lin Zhu had been with him for more than six years. Lin Zhu's family was poor, and he had been supporting him throughout his three years of high school, four years of university, and three years of graduate school.
He hadn't originally intended for Lin Zhu to know these things, but he found out about them himself later, so he's been following him around ever since graduation.
If you really count it, the two of them have known each other for almost ten years.
Li Chenxu is not someone who can easily trust others, but he had always trusted Lin Zhu before, because the other party had been with him for so many years. Even a dog would develop feelings for someone, let alone a living person.
But now it seems that sometimes, a person is not as good as a dog.
Thinking of this, Li Chenxu couldn't help but sneer.
Fortunately, Lin Zhu was not the only trusted confidant by Li Chenxu's side, so many things were not entirely without a solution.
However, at this crucial moment in the investigation, Lin Zhu's situation has become complicated.
More importantly, now they not only need to investigate the whereabouts of other people, but also to find out Lin Zhu's background and who he is colluding with.
If Lin Zhu really was colluding with the person who wanted to harm him, then things would become even more complicated...
Before Bai Ye arrived, Li Chenxu had been checking the company's computer security system.
This company is Li Chenxu's life's work, and he doesn't want it to be ruined by any personal grudges or issues.
Fortunately, after checking, Li Chenxu found no vulnerabilities or intrusions into the system, which greatly relieved him.
He leaned back, and exhaustion washed over him.
I don't know if it's because of excessive worry, but my head is starting to hurt again. My forehead also seems to be getting feverish again.
Li Chenxu shook his head, trying to clear his head. However, the body is not like other things that can be controlled at will. Before long, the weakness and pain he felt when he had a cold yesterday intensified instantly, and in the end, Li Chenxu's consciousness became more and more blurred.
Before he even realized it, he had already fainted on his desk.
When Bai Ye arrived, the first thing he saw was Li Chenxu lying on the desk, looking pale.
Recalling Li Chenxu's serious demeanor when he made the phone call, Bai Ye initially thought Li Chenxu had been attacked and was immediately startled. He quickly went to Li Chenxu's side, carefully examined him, and only after confirming that he was just sick and had not been attacked did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He reached out and nudged Li Chenxu, frowning as he called out, "Mr. Li?"
They called Li Chenxu several times, but there was no response. Given Li Chenxu's current condition, it was impossible for the two of them to talk about anything.
Looking at the unconscious Li Chenxu, Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh. He had rushed over, thinking the two were about to discuss something important, but Li Chenxu had simply passed out.
Bai Ye was truly at his wit's end. After thinking for a while, he finally dialed Mu Xiaoyu's number.
When Bai Ye called, Mu Xiaoyu had just finished reading the note left by Li Chenxu and was still angry. She wasn't angry that Li Chenxu had gone out; she was angry that he hadn't even taken his medicine before leaving.
Li Chenxu's cold wasn't completely cured to begin with. If he's lucky, going out like this might not make his cold worse. But what if he's unlucky and his cold gets worse, just like yesterday, or even more serious?
Mu Xiaoyu was furious at the moment, and her tone was not as gentle as usual when she received Bai Ye's call.
"Mr. Bai? Why is Mr. Bai calling at this hour?"
This was the first time Bai Ye had heard Mu Xiaoyu speak in such an impatient tone. He paused for a moment before chuckling and quickly explaining the reason to Mu Xiaoyu.
After she finished speaking, Mu Xiaoyu on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent for some reason.
Unable to see Mu Xiaoyu's appearance and expression over the phone, Bai Ye didn't know if Mu Xiaoyu was still angry about something. Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu hadn't spoken for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss Mu?"
"I'm sorry, I was rude just now."
This time, Mu Xiaoyu finally spoke. Bai Ye wondered if it was just his imagination, but Mu Xiaoyu's voice sounded slightly nasal.
Before he could think it through, Mu Xiaoyu said again, "Are you at the company now? If so, I'll come right away."
“He’s at the company, but Mr. Li’s condition isn’t very good right now. How about I take him to the hospital first, and then you can come over directly, Mu Xiaoyu?”
This was indeed the most convenient method, and it wouldn't delay Li Chenxu's treatment, so Mu Xiaoyu nodded in agreement.
After hanging up the phone, Mu Xiaoyu hurriedly washed up, changed her clothes, and was about to go out.
She hadn't slept well last night, and coupled with excessive worry, she looked quite unwell. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu about to leave, the maid in the villa quickly said, "Madam! The master said you should eat breakfast first."
"If he wants to eat it, he'll have to tell me himself!"
Mu Xiaoyu left with a sullen face, leaving behind those words without looking back. The maid who had spoken earlier stood there, looking frustrated. She didn't know what was going on today. First the master, then the mistress—had she done something wrong to offend both of them?
But that shouldn't be the case, it's clearly no different from before, I'm so frustrated!
