"When did it happen?" The man's voice was low and forced.
Pei Luoyi did not know what had happened, but she had the feeling that this was not a good thing. Although a man usually looked like someone who owed him a huge sum of money, his aura was much more tyrannical than usual.
"I'll go over now."
Seeing the man frown as he hung up the phone, Pei Luoyi hesitated for a second before opening her mouth to ask, "What happened …?" "Is something the matter?"
Gong Yan put the phone back in his pocket, his eyes swept across the not so distant entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. He then looked up at her and said, "I'll take care of this matter another day. I have some matters to attend to right now. You can take a taxi back."
As he spoke, he had already turned his toes in the direction of the Rolls-Royce parked by the side of the road.
Pei Luoyi stood on the spot and watched as the man's back gradually disappeared into the distance. After a long while, she finally regained her composure and nodded her head, making an 'oh' sound.
Just as she was about to take out her phone and find a free driver to drive her, she suddenly stopped.
What about her bag?
He suddenly turned around and looked at Rolls-Royce, who had yet to start.
She quickly ran down the steps, shouting, "Wait! My bag is still in the car! "
The man in the car turned a deaf ear as he lifted his eyelids and looked coldly at Shen Cui who was sitting in the driver's seat. "Drive."
"But Head Elder, Miss Pei, she …"
"Am I your boss, or is she your boss?"
His cold eyes shot straight at him like a cold arrow, and Shen Bu immediately quivered as she obediently started the car.
In just two sentences, Pei Luoyi had already arrived at the side of the car.
When she arrived, she was sitting in the back seat, so naturally, her bag was left in the back.
The car door could not be opened.
Pei Luoyi frowned and looked through the glass window at the carriage. The man didn't budge an inch. He patted the window and signaled for the man inside to open it.
"Drive."
"Yes."
Pei Luoyi couldn't make out what the man in the carriage was saying, but it was just two words. She could already guess what he was talking about just by looking at his lips.
Seeing that the car was about to speed up, Pei Luoyi knitted her brows even tighter, while her underling's strength increased, "Mr. Gong, I'll take my bag. Could I trouble you to open the car door?"
The car had already started off, and it was still some distance away. Perhaps it wasn't a wide road, but there was still a line of cars parked, so the car didn't go very fast. Pei Luoyi continued to give chase while knocking on the window.
If the bag had fallen in the car and been taken away, it wouldn't have been so easy to get it back.
Besides, she didn't want to rush up to that man to see his expression. It would be best if he suddenly showed mercy and forgot about her. It would be better if he never saw her again. Her papers and stuff were still in there.
After running for a distance, the black Rolls-Royce suddenly stopped.
She was about to take a step back when the door opened and a long arm came out and grabbed her by the shoulder.
Then, she fell into the carriage.
The car door was pulled shut with a bang and the car started moving again.
Pei Luoyi clutched her head, which was on the ground, and raised it from a special feeling. Just as she raised her head, she saw a faint trace of anger in someone's eyes.
Oh, she fell on somebody's lap.
She stumbled and got up. She found her bag from the seat, hugged it, and sat away from him.
The car had already left the road and was on the elevated platform, heading in the opposite direction from her home.
She didn't have the ability to shout and get off the carriage.
As a result, the car drove through half of Cloud City and had yet to arrive at its destination.
Finally, when the man who had been resting with his eyes closed opened them again, Pei Luoyi's gaze lightly drifted away from his face. At the same time, her red lips moved, and she opened her mouth, "We … "Where are you going?"
In the driver's seat, Shen Xiao raised his eyes to look at Pei Luoyi through the rearview mirror. He wanted to say something, but stopped and then chose to shut his mouth and focus on driving.
"Hospital."
His tone was neither hurried nor slow, no emotion could be heard, Gong Yan slightly tilted his head and looked out the window.
Pei Luoyi was stunned for a moment. Hospital?
The first thing that came to mind was the old man from the palace. Although the old man looked to be in high spirits, but … The old mistress seemed to have said that he was feeling much better.
Are you sick? Pei Luoyi thought to herself as she raised her eyelids to look at the calm and composed man.
A few rays of sunlight shone through the window onto the man's body. However, his eyes were too deep and complicated. His entire being seemed to be enveloped in a dense fog, even the warm sun couldn't reach him.
"Your grandpa looks pretty tough, it shouldn't be too serious, right? You …" "Don't worry too much."
The man turned around and gave her a meaningful glance. He didn't say anything, but Pei Luoyi somehow managed to put on a contemptuous expression.
Pei Luoyi, "…"
Hmm, he really shouldn't have said too much.
It was only when they arrived at the hospital that Pai Loyi finally knew where the contempt in the man's eyes came from, and how wrong she was.
Because the person lying on the sickbed wasn't Old Master Gong, but … Old Mistress Gong.
The old lady who was lying on the bed took off her glasses. There was a gauze bandage on her forehead. She looked sickly and pale, probably because she had lost too much blood.
As if she was very surprised that Pei Luoyi would come along with Gong Yan, she narrowed her eyes and sized them up for a moment before opening her mouth with a faint smile. She then asked the two who had walked into the ward, "You're here?"
"How are you feeling?"
Gong Yan walked to the bedside, and a servant very consciously picked up a chair for him to sit on.
The old mistress looked deeply at Pei Luoyi before shifting her gaze to Gong Yan, her voice weak and hoarse, "I'm fine. The doctor said that my bones weren't injured, so don't worry too much."
Gong Yan nodded his head, the slight crease between his brows did not relax at all, "How did you fall down the stairs?"
His voice was very gentle, but the servants standing behind him were alarmed.
A mentally weak person couldn't resist the psychological pressure and immediately said, "Palace..." Young Master Gong, this is all the negligence of us servants. "
"What's going on?"
He didn't even look over as he just sat there quietly. The servant said honestly, "This morning, the madame felt a bit dizzy after breakfast and wanted to go back upstairs to rest. She told us not to call her if there was nothing else.
The older servant trembled as he spoke, then he looked at the silent old lady and continued, "After this old lady woke up in the hospital, she checked that nothing had happened, and even told us not to tell you …"
