Deadly Twelve Days

Hu Eye saw off the three of them, then turned to Niu Zhuang and asked, "Director Niu, what's going on?"

Although the way they addressed me didn't change, but the cold tone in their voices could be easily heard. In my opinion, although Hu Shuang doesn't have a heart of a woman, she isn't stupid. Anyone who saw the scene just now would be able to tell that the three red-haired men were clearly under the orders of a powerful man.

Sure enough, upon seeing Hu Shuang's unkind tone, Niu Zhuang broke out in a cold sweat, as if Hu Shuang, who was standing in front of him right now, was his boss.

"Is that so?" Hu Shuang didn't seem to care too much about this matter. He smiled and looked at Mighty. "Since it's a misunderstanding, then it's good. Mu Fan is treating me to a meal today. I wonder if you have any money."

"He's rich, of course he's rich. I was just about to give him the money." Niu Zhuang chuckled and quickly took out his pen to write a cheque.

"Hehe, Little Mu, this is what was previously agreed upon. I don't have that much cash on hand, so I'll have to trouble you to go down to the bank." Niu Zhuang handed me the cheque as he spoke.

Even though this bull-like guy could be mistaken and dark in his heart, he was still quite tactful.

However, I was a bit embarrassed when I thought about how his face had turned red with me. Not only was my salary deducted, but I had also almost worked myself to the point where I didn't even get that five thousand yuan. Now, Hu Shuang had settled it with just a few words.

"Director Hu, can I ask you something?" Seeing me accept the cheque, Hu Shuang asked Mighty again.

"Little Hu, what's the matter?"

"Who's the redhead? What's his name?" Hu Shuang didn't have any tone of discussion. His meaning was that the matter of Niu Zhuang not handing over the red hair today was not over.

As soon as Hu Shuang finished his sentence, Niu Zhuang's expression changed. He quickly leaned towards Hu Shuangliang and smiled, "Eh, Little Hu, that was just a misunderstanding. If it wasn't out of respect for me, then forget it."

Hearing Niu Zhuang's words, Hu Shuang chuckled, but his tone didn't change at all. He looked at Niu Zhuang with a faint smile and said, "Chief Hu, I'm the one who gave you face, otherwise, those three guys wouldn't have been able to leave your side peacefully."

The moment Hu Shuang said this, my heart skipped a beat. I couldn't help but to look at Hu Shuang a few more times. I thought to myself that although this girl looked innocent and romantic on the surface, this action of hers really sounded like a big sister.

However, I felt a surge of warmth in my heart. She was clearly standing up for me. Even though she had a manly attitude, I have to say that it was really good to be cared for and to have someone to stand up for her.

"Is that so?" Niu Zhuang's face looked a bit ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Little Hu, they've already given me a lot of care when I opened a small company. I beg you, let's forget about this."

However, Hu Shuang acted as if he didn't hear that. Instead, he picked up his phone and dialed.

"Hu Yunhai, I've been bullied about your stupid website!" After the call, Hu Shuang started shouting.

Needless to say, the Hu Yunhai that she spoke of was her father. This girl was truly amazing, daring to directly call him by his father's name.

Not knowing what her father had said, Hu Shuangmei's eyebrows creased as he said, "I don't care. You have to care about this, or else I'll find a job as a cleaner next time around your company. I'll see if you can make a fool of yourself."

After a moment of silence, Hu Shuang handed the phone over to Mighty.

Mighty looked down at the phone in Hu Shuang's hands, feeling both excited and scared. He rubbed his hands together and held the phone with both of his hands, then said with a flattering tone, "Hello, Boss Hu. This is Xiao Niu."

Hearing his words, I almost burst out laughing. Xiao Niu, you're still a pig.

Niu Zhuang couldn't stop nodding and bowing, as if Hu Yunhai, who was on the other end of the phone, could see him. Then, he broke out in a cold sweat as he recounted what had happened just now.

After hanging up, Mighty passed the phone into Hu's hands and asked, "Didn't you say Mu Fan wants to invite you to dinner? Why don't you go back and prepare? The company doesn't have any work to do right now anyway."

When I heard this, I was immediately happy. I thought, this Mighty really put a lot of effort into getting Hu Yunhai's line. Not only did he give up on the boss's airs, he even sold out Red Hair, even giving up on the company's rules and regulations.

However, before I could finish laughing, my head started to ache again. Inviting Hu Shuang to dinner is a very troublesome thing to do.

However, thinking about it, I don't have the mood to do anything right now. It's not like it's a big deal to treat someone to a meal just because they're treating them to a meal.

"Let me see!" Just as he left the company, Hu Shuang reached out his hand to grab the cheque in my hands. He looked at it and exclaimed, "Wow! It's over eight thousand yuan! It's almost equivalent to half a year of my salary!"

When I saw how pretentious she was, I rolled my eyes at her and said, "Come on, my Miss Hu. This little money is but a drizzle to you, but it's more than enough to boast about for a while."

Hu Shuang pursed his lips but didn't fight back. His face was a little sad, and after a long while, he whispered, "After knowing my identity, are you not willing to talk to me anymore?"

I turned my head to the side and saw that she was holding onto her clothes like a little girl who had made a mistake. I couldn't help but laugh, tugging at the ends of his hair and saying, "No, I'm still too happy. With a big backer like you, wouldn't I be able to do whatever I want in the company?"

"Tsk, come on." Hu Shuang smiled and naturally took my arm, "It's still too early to eat. Why don't you accompany me for a stroll?"

It wasn't really a matter of money. Even though I had always been a bachelor dog, living in my little neighborhood except for my job, it didn't mean that I didn't know what it was like to go shopping with a girl.

Thus, I laughed mischievously and changed the subject, "Let's talk about this later. Should we go see Zhang Qiang?"

It was fine that I didn't mention it, but when I did, I felt a little worried, thinking that Zhang Qiang was still in the hospital.

So I called Jun and asked her if she was free, and she said she was at the hospital, and I said it was me, and I brought my colleagues to see it.

After hanging up, I noticed that Hu Shuang's mood was a little down. When I saw him, I was immediately surprised. I thought to myself, he was still fine a moment ago, but how did he get so excited in the blink of an eye?

Thus, I asked Hu Shuang, "Why are you unhappy? Zhang Qiang is my good brother. Since I have free time, I might as well go and take a look."

Hu Shuang didn't say anything. After a long time, he whispered to me, "Am I just a colleague in your heart?"

Hearing her words, I couldn't help but laugh. So it turns out that this girl wasn't happy about this matter.

Thus, I patted her on the head and said, "What are you thinking about? You and Zhang Qiang are my best friends."

After thinking for a bit, I added, "When you and Zhang Qiang get into the same hospital, I will also put my heart and soul into it."

"Pfft, nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth, can't you hope for me to do it?" When Hu Shuang heard this, he immediately broke down in tears into a smile, and even opened his mouth at me as if he was showing off.

Seeing her act this way, I immediately let out a breath of relief. I let her hold my arm and head towards Zhang Qiang's direction.

It was currently morning, and there weren't many people in the hospital's mental recovery department. I found the ward that Zhang Qiang was in without a hitch.

In the short span of a night, Zhang Qiang had become a lot weaker. His face was so pale that it was almost blue, and he was tied up with a special hospital gown. His hair was messy, and his face was stained with sweat or saliva.

However, what shocked me the most was the look in his eyes. It seemed to be a smile that wasn't really a smile, but at the same time, it gave off an indescribable feeling of strangeness. At the same time, it also made me feel a chill in my heart.

As for Jun'er, she was sitting beside Zhang Qiang with a sad look on her face. She was staring at Zhang Qiang like a statue. I didn't even knock on the door a few times and she didn't notice me.

I retracted Hu Shuang who was a little scared. At the same time, I secretly recalled the damned method that was recorded in Yi Yun's diary.
