First spoiled, then love

Chapter 493 Chen Qingrong is deaf (11000)

boom!
Chong did rush behind the door, and Chen Qingrong also hit the door with his body, but unfortunately, the door did not open.

"Don't you feel the pain, husband?" Tang Xiaoru looked at him with heartache.

Chen Qingrong smiled helplessly, "It's already this time, why do you still care about whether it hurts or not? If we don't find a way out quickly, we're really going to die here. Why is it different from the movies? People in the movies can basically knock open the door with just one bang."

As they talked, the smoke in the room grew thicker. Although the two of them tried to cover their mouths and noses, they were still choked and tears were streaming down their faces.

And because they all inhaled some smoke to some extent, not only Tang Xiaoru felt dizzy, but Chen Qingrong also started to feel dizzy.

No.

They must find a way out, otherwise they will really die here.

Chen Qingrong kicked and banged on the door desperately, and even tried to insert his fingernails into the crack of the door, hoping to use the strength of his fingers to pry the door open, but unfortunately all these actions were useless.

Tang Xiaoru suddenly patted him on the shoulder, pointed to the ceiling on the right, and said quickly, "Honey, there's a vent there. I'll carry you up there, and you push open the cover, and we can get out."

After she reminded Chen Qingrong, he saw that there was indeed a closed vent there. This was indeed a good way to survive.

He immediately said, "I'll carry you. I'm stronger and you're lighter, so that's better."

Tang Xiaoru quickly shook her head and smiled helplessly, "I am light, but I am not as strong as you. The cover in front of the vent is sealed with a wooden board. I don't have the strength to open it. Only you can do it."

"But……"

"It's okay. I estimated that the height from the ground is not too high. Even if I can't carry you, you can step on my back and climb up. As long as you can open the lid, you can climb in."

"What about you?"

"Pull me up, I should be able to reach your arm when I jump up, just pull me up." Tang Xiaoru urged, "Don't waste any more time, husband. If we delay any longer, we will really be burned to death here."

Chen Qingrong gritted his teeth, looked at the fire again, and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go up first, and you must jump higher later!"

"Uh-huh."

Tang Xiaoru quickly squatted under the vent and waved to Chen Qingrong.

Chen Qingrong no longer hesitated and gently stepped on her back with one foot. With just one step, Tang Xiaoru's body collapsed. Fortunately, she quickly supported the ground with her hands and managed to stabilize herself.

"Can you?"

"quick!"

Hearing Tang Xiaoru's reluctant words, Chen Qingrong knew that he could not waste any more time. He stepped on with his other foot as well. However, even so, the height was still a little short. Chen Qingrong could only stand on tiptoe and try to reach up.

Enough!
Chen Qingrong's eyes lit up, but when he pulled the wooden board twice with his hands, he found that the board was actually sealed with small thumbtacks, and he couldn't pull them out with his hands.

How to do how to do?
Got it!

Chen Qingrong suddenly thought of his car keys, so he quickly reached out and took out the keys, and then used the keys as a screwdriver to pry the small thumbtacks.

Snapped!
The first one was pinned out.

It works!

Chen Qingrong was ecstatic. He pried off the second one with force, then pushed the wooden board with both hands, using all his strength. Finally, with a click, he pushed the board into the vent.

He grabbed the wall with his hands again, roared, and used the force to jump up, and actually jumped in.

The inside of the vent was more spacious than he had imagined. He lay down first, then leaned out half of his body and reached out to Tang Xiaoru.

"Wife, jump up, quick!"

he roared.

Tang Xiaoru patted her head and stood up. She coughed several times before looking at him and saying incoherently, "Then, then you, then you have to, you have to, you have to hold on to me, hold on to me."

"Don't worry, I will catch you!"

"it is good."

Tang Xiaoru jumped, but because she inhaled too much smoke and her legs were weak, the jump was no different from standing on tiptoe.

boom!
There was a sudden explosion behind her and Tang Xiaoru screamed in fright.

Chen Qingrong became even more anxious, his eyes turned red, "Wife, come on, jump up quickly, think about our future, think about our home, jump up, I will definitely catch you, jump quickly!"

Tang Xiaoru also gave it her all and jumped two or three times with all her might. On the last jump, she finally jumped to a certain height, and Chen Qingrong took the opportunity to grab her arm.

"Ah, it hurts..."

"Hold it!"

Chen Qingrong pulled her up with all his strength, and Tang Xiaoru also took the initiative to push. Just after Chen Qingrong pulled her to a certain height, Tang Xiaoru also grabbed the wall that Chen Qingrong had just been holding on to with her hands. Now Chen Qingrong could save some energy.

Tang Xiaoru climbed up by herself, and with the help of Chen Qingrong, she was finally pulled to his side.

"Hoo, hoo." Tang Xiaoru panted heavily, "It's more exciting than filming a movie."

Chen Qingrong forced a smile, but he no longer had the strength to speak.

Tang Xiaoru said to him again, "I will never advise you to lose weight again. Being big is good for strength. You can gain some weight. At least you will have more strength, which can save your life at a critical moment."

"Climb out first."

Chen Qingrong was not in the mood to joke with Tang Xiaoru at this moment, so he turned around and crawled outside with Tang Xiaoru.

The inside of this ventilation duct is quite long and in a straight line.

After climbing for a while, the two finally reached a wooden board. This time, Chen Qingrong was more experienced and kicked it open. The wind from outside blew in. It was the first time for the two to enjoy this shaving wind.

After climbing out of the pipe, the two of them sat on the ground leaning against the wall.

The moonlight was clear and there was silence behind them. There was only a small river and not a single ghost could be seen. However, the two of them felt exceptionally calm at this moment.

"I survived." Chen Qingrong hugged Tang Xiaoru tightly and kissed her affectionately. "It feels so good to be alive. I almost thought I was going to lose you. I was really scared."

Tang Xiaoru smiled and kissed back, "Me too, but this time I mainly relied on my wisdom. I wonder if you will call me stupid in the future."

"I'm talking about stupid cuteness."

"Hehe, now you know the benefits of having a smart wife, right?"

"I know, I know."

Chen Qingrong kissed her several more times before saying, "I don't know if the fire department has arrived yet. The cell phone signal should be restored, right?"

"Let me check my phone."

Tang Xiaoru took out her cell phone and opened her mouth to say something.

But it was very strange. Chen Qingrong could not hear what she was saying at all. He could only see her mouth moving.

"... Miss Nana also sent me a WeChat message asking why we missed the appointment. I have to explain to them later. Our top priority is to report the situation to the police. Husband, husband? Why are you looking at me stupidly? Did you hear what I said?"

While Tang Xiaoru was talking to herself, she found that Chen Qingrong was staring at her blankly. His eyes were like a confused look on the face of a kindergarten kid listening to a teacher teaching advanced mathematics in class. He looked very bewildered.

Chen Qingrong heard her words clearly this time and forced a smile, "Yes, I heard it. I was just distracted just now. Let's call the police first."

"Ah."

Just as Chen Qingrong expected, the fire brigade had arrived and started to put out the fire. The fire was so big that a cordon was set up around it to prevent others from approaching.

After Chen Qingrong and others called the police, Officer Yao personally led a team to the scene. It was only then that the fire brigade realized that there were actually two people at the fire scene!

But fortunately they are safe.

Chen Qingrong and his colleagues told Officer Yao what had happened.

Officer Yao looked unhappy after hearing this. "So this is not just an accident, but a murder. Do you remember what that person looked like?"

Chen Qingrong shook his head. "I was hit on the head by him at that time. I only saw that he was wearing a mask and he was not very tall. I really didn't see his appearance."

Officer Yao thought of something and asked Tang Xiaoru, "Ms. Tang, you said you fainted because your mouth was covered when you were going upstairs to your company. Did you take the elevator or the stairs?"

Tang Xiaoru recalled, "It was the stairs, because the elevator was under maintenance at the time, and I thought I still had time, so I took the stairs to exercise."

"Then do you remember which floor you were on when you were knocked unconscious?"

“I really don’t remember this.”

"That's troublesome." Officer Yao frowned. "If you were suffocated in the elevator, we could still check the surveillance video. Now we can't even check the surveillance video."

"It seems that we have no choice but to retrieve the surveillance footage of your entire building to see if there are any suspicious persons. However, this will make the investigation much more difficult."

Chen Qingrong suddenly said, "We need to check the surveillance cameras in this building. When that bastard kidnapped my wife and brought her here, she should have been caught on camera."

The firefighters then added, "The surveillance cameras here have long been disabled. We learned this from the security guard when we arrived here after receiving the alarm."

"What about the guard? Did he see anyone?"

"The security guard was watching TV inside and didn't pay any attention to the outside."

"..."

Chen Qingrong was very upset.

Especially irritable.

He was inexplicably tricked by a beast, and now he doesn't even know who that beast is. He hates this feeling to death.

Officer Yao said, "You two should go to the hospital first. You were forced to inhale a lot of smoke just now, which is harmful to your body. Especially Mr. Chen, there is still some blood on your face. You need to go and treat it. Leave the rest to us police. We will definitely identify the suspect as soon as possible."

Tang Xiaoru had no choice but to say, "Thank you for your hard work. We will leave first."

"Well, walk slowly."

The couple went to find Chen Qingrong's car first.

Tang Xiaoru asked him as they walked, "Does your head still hurt?"

Chen Qingrong reached out and touched his head, then shook his head. "It doesn't hurt, it's just a minor problem. The wound has scabbed over, so it won't be a problem."

Tang Xiaoru suddenly stopped and hugged him tightly, tears streaming down her face, "I'm sorry, husband. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been hurt. I'm sorry."

Chen Qingrong rested his chin on her head and patted her back gently. "Don't talk nonsense. We are a couple and we should share weal and woe. Instead, I should be saying sorry to you. I wish I hadn't let you go upstairs by yourself in the afternoon. I should have followed you at that time."

"It's not your fault. Neither you nor I would have expected someone to ambush me there."

Chen Qingrong suddenly felt cold in his heart, "Yes, how could that person think of ambushing you there? He knows our company's new address very well, and he also knows our schedule very well. Otherwise, how did he know that you were going to go up at that time? He couldn't have been waiting there for you, right?"

Tang Xiaoru's expression suddenly changed, and she realized the seriousness of the problem. "We are being followed?"

Chen Qingrong immediately thought of the flash of light today and said coldly, "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as being followed, wife. Our opponent this time is not only insidious, but also very smart. It's not easy to deal with him."

Tang Xiaoru opened her mouth and her mind raced.

Chen Qingrong added, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's go to the hospital first."

"Ah good."

The two drove to a nearby hospital and went to the emergency room.

The doctor helped Chen Qingrong treat the wound on his head. Fortunately, it was just a cut and the problem was not too serious.

Tang Xiaoru also asked the doctor whether Chen Qingrong was at risk of concussion. The doctor asked Chen Qingrong to take a brain CT scan, and the results showed that no strange shadows were found, thus ruling out this possibility.

I stayed in the hospital until after midnight before leaving. The moon at that time was rounder than usual. It looked like a delicious moon cake even though it was not the Mid-Autumn Festival yet.

Tang Xiaoru chased after Chen Qingrong and took his arm. "Okay, let's go home, honey. Although you don't have a concussion, you did get hit on the head. Don't go to the company with me tomorrow. Rest at home first."

"alright."

Chen Qingrong didn't want to push himself too hard, but he added, "Then you have to stay at home with me, otherwise I'll be bored. After all, you can work online, and you don't have to go to the company."

"Well, alright." Tang Xiaoru smiled helplessly, "Then I'll stay at home with you for a day and observe whether you have any sequelae first."

"Well, by the way, have you explained it to Mr. Liu?"

"I called him and explained everything. Mr. Liu was quite concerned about our situation."

"That's good, go home."

"Uh-huh."

After arriving home, the couple was so tired that they didn't even take a shower. They just took off their clothes and went to bed.

That night, Chen Qingrong had a nightmare. In the dream, he was chased and bitten by zombies. Fortunately, at the critical moment, a Taoist priest appeared and subdued the zombies. The Taoist priest also told Chen Qingrong that he was born to be a Taoist priest, and asked Chen Qingrong to become a monk and learn from him. However, Chen Qingrong sternly refused in his dream.

When he woke up the next day, Chen Qingrong rubbed his eyes, looked at Tang Xiaoru who was still sleeping in his arms, then carefully got out of bed to go to the bathroom, and took Tang Xiaoru's mobile phone with him.

The main reason was that his phone was still charging, and if he didn't play with his phone while going to the toilet, he would never succeed.

This is medically known as mobile phone addiction.

After he went to the toilet, he started browsing on his phone. He was still sleepy at this time and his head was still feeling dizzy. He also wondered why the sound in the video was so low.

So he kept increasing the volume.

The volume keeps increasing until I get tired of it~
boom.

At this moment, a sound like thunder suddenly rang in his ears, and he saw Tang Xiaoru rushing in in a hurry.

"Wife? Why did you come in? I'm going to the bathroom!" Chen Qingrong was a little confused.

Tang Xiaoru looked very panicked. She came to him and pinched his face, asking, "What happened to you just now? You turned up the volume of your phone so loud that I could hear it in the bedroom. I called you but you kept ignoring me. I thought something happened to you!"

"Did you call me? I didn't hear you at all."

Chen Qingrong looked very confused, and at this moment a voice suddenly rang out from his cell phone.

"Unlike other people, Odebiao's driving skills are not based on his driving skills, but on his luck. In Africa..."

Chen Qingrong suddenly froze.

Not only did he feel that the volume of the phone was too low, but he also really didn't hear Tang Xiaoru calling him. Could it be that his ears were broken?
As the spoiler mentioned in the story rang in his mind, Chen Qingrong began to get scared.

"Honey, what's wrong with you?" Tang Xiaoru became even more worried when she saw his face changing constantly. "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Chen Qingrong grabbed her hand and said anxiously, "My ears seem to be broken. Sometimes I can hear sounds, and sometimes I can't."

Tang Xiaoru was startled, "Ah? Why are you..."

Chen Qingrong saw Tang Xiaoru gesticulating and talking about something. Her mouth shape was exaggerated, the veins on her neck were bulging, and she even sprayed saliva on his face when she spoke.

But Chen Qingrong just couldn't hear what she was saying!
Chen Qingrong pointed at his ears and shouted, "I can't hear what you are saying, I can't hear you!!"

Tang Xiaoru paused and almost fell to the ground.

More than an hour later, Tang Xiaoru took Chen Qingrong to the hospital for another comprehensive examination. The doctor concluded that Chen Qingrong's head had been hit hard by a blunt object, which might have caused some damage to his eardrum, causing him to suffer symptoms of sudden deafness.

As for whether it will always be like this, the doctor can't guarantee it.

However, the doctor also said that as long as you cooperate with the treatment, this sudden deafness can be cured.

"So, my symptoms are intermittent? There's no pattern to them, right?" Chen Qingrong could hear again at this time, so he asked the doctor.

The doctor nodded. "That's right. I still recommend that you be hospitalized for treatment. After all, no one knows when you will suddenly become deaf. This will have a great impact on your daily life."

Tang Xiaoru also advised him, "Yes, husband, why don't you just stay in the hospital for treatment?"

Chen Qingrong shook his head. "I don't want to be hospitalized for treatment. This kind of small problem won't bother me."

"Chen Qingrong..."

"Stop talking. Respect my opinion." Chen Qingrong interrupted Tang Xiaoru and said to her, "Aren't you always by my side? With you around, nothing will happen to me. If I suddenly become deaf again, just type it out on your phone and show it to me. Anyway, I won't be deaf forever. Maybe one day it will get better."

"This..." Facing Chen Qingrong's pleading eyes, Tang Xiaoru couldn't say no, so she could only nod, "Okay, I respect your opinion."

The doctor then said, "If you don't want to be hospitalized, I suggest you go find some great old Chinese medicine practitioners. Some of them can treat people through acupuncture, and maybe they can help you."

Tang Xiaoru's eyes lit up, "Thank you, doctor, thank you, doctor!"

After seeing the doctor, the two left the hospital.

Chen Qingrong suddenly made a joke, "Actually, it's good for me to be like this now. If someone thinks I'm deaf and says bad things about me behind my back, and then I can suddenly hear again, I can just catch them in the act, hehe."

Tang Xiaoru could only force a laugh in agreement.

Chen Qingrong comforted her, "It's okay, my dear. The doctor said that I can be cured. I won't really become deaf. Don't be afraid."

Tang Xiaoru smiled bitterly, "I know it can be cured, I just feel sorry for you, last night..."

"Okay, stop feeling guilty all the time, okay? You're not my mother, why are you still using this guilt-based education?" Chen Qingrong rolled his eyes impatiently. Tang Xiaoru laughed angrily when she heard this, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore, don't you think I'm annoying? Now you're complaining about my nagging, then you need to cooperate with the Chinese medicine treatment, and you don't need to be hospitalized if you use Chinese medicine."

Chen Qingrong looked bitter, "As long as I don't have to drink such bitter Chinese medicine, I'm willing to cooperate."

"That depends on what the doctor prescribes." Tang Xiaoru took out her cell phone, "I'll call my mom and ask her to contact a Chinese medicine doctor."

Chen Qingrong held her hand and said, "Wait, are you going to tell my parents about this?"

"Yeah, we can't hide it from them, right? Besides, my dad has a wide network of contacts, maybe he can find the arsonist faster than the police."

"But I still don't want them to worry." Chen Qingrong shook his head helplessly and asked, "Didn't I go to see a Chinese doctor with you before? At that time, I was bleeding, and you took me to see a Chinese doctor and gave me Chinese medicine to nourish my body. Can't we just go to that Chinese doctor?"

Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "He has already immigrated, how can we find him?"

"Immigrated?" Chen Qingrong was stunned. "No, he immigrated at such an old age?"

Tang Xiaoru smiled and explained, "Yes, his children are all in New Zealand. He went to New Zealand to look for his children. It happened last year. I heard it from my mother. I just didn't mention it to you."

"Ok."

Chen Qingrong didn't know what to say.

Tang Xiaoru called her mother and told her about this matter. After learning about such a big thing, Lin Yue urged them to go home quickly and asked Tang Chengshan to contact a doctor.

After arriving home, Lin Yue hugged Chen Qingrong distressedly, "Xiao Chen, you have suffered so much. You have encountered such a thing out of nowhere. Don't worry, we will definitely find the best Chinese medicine doctor to cure your ears."

Chen Qingrong seemed very relaxed. "It's okay, Mom. I'm mentally prepared. It's okay even if it can't be cured. Sometimes being deaf doesn't mean it's a bad thing."

"Don't be such a pessimist." Lin Yue gave him a look, "Your illness can definitely be cured!"

Chen Qingrong said at this time, "Mom, please don't tell my parents about my illness for the time being. I don't want them to worry, especially my grandma. She is old and can't stand such a blow."

Lin Yue said seriously, "Don't worry, we will keep this matter a secret for you and won't let your family know for the time being."

"That's good."

Tang Chengshan came back soon after.

"Xiao Chen, is your condition serious?" Tang Chengshan saw Chen Qingrong standing up to greet him, and quickly held his shoulder to let him sit down. "I have made an appointment for you with the most famous old Chinese doctor in Beijing. Don't worry too much, he will definitely be able to cure you."

Chen Qingrong was stunned for a moment, "So I have to go to Beijing? Isn't that too far? If I leave, I will be worried about Xiaoru."

Tang Chengshan smiled and said, "Don't worry, you don't have to go to the capital. I have invited him to the Magic City. He will arrive tomorrow. I will take you to see him then."

"Thanks dad."

Chen Qingrong was very grateful.

Although no one knows how Tang Chengshan did it, he must have paid a considerable price. Regardless of whether the Chinese medicine doctor is so magical or not, at least Tang Chengshan showed this attitude.

This was enough to move Chen Qingrong deeply.

Tang Chengshan sighed, "Why are you being so polite? You are also trying to protect Xiaoru. But you two are really troubled. I'll find time to ask your grandmother and the others to pray for you and burn incense."

"By the way, does the police have any clues about the criminal now?"

Tang Xiaoru shook her head. "It just happened last night, how could there be clues so quickly? Officer Yao told us to wait, and he said he would notify us as soon as there were any clues."

Tang Chengshan asked, "Do you have anyone you suspect?"

The young couple looked at each other.

Chen Qingrong said, "I do have a suspect, that is Zheng Li's brother Zheng Hailong, but I don't have any evidence and can't prove him at all."

"Zheng Li? The one whose parents wanted to sue you after she died?"

"Yes, that's her."

"Oh, so she has a younger brother." Tang Chengshan narrowed his eyes and began to think.

Just then, Chen Qingrong's cell phone rang.

He took out his cell phone and looked at it, a little surprised, "It's Officer Yao calling, could it be that there is a clue?"

"Answer it." Tang Xiaoru urged.

Chen Qingrong answered the phone, "Hello, Officer Yao, do you have any good news for me?"

Officer Yao said in a strange tone, "It is indeed good news. Are you and Miss Tang busy now? If not, please come to the police station. We have caught the arsonist."

"Caught? So quickly?"

Chen Qingrong was a little confused.

No, when did the Magic City police become so efficient?
He didn't have time to ask more questions, so he told Tang Xiaoru and her family after hanging up the phone.

Tang Chengshan immediately said that the old couple would go with them, and also called Lawyer Ouyang, whom they had met last time. After arriving at the police station, they found out that the arsonist was actually Zheng Hailong!
Officer Yao said, "After Zheng Hailong did that thing last night, he went to a bar to drink with his classmates. He was so excited that he told everything he had done. It happened that among those who drank with him was the daughter of another colleague from our jurisdiction. The girl told her father what Zheng Hailong said, and her father told us."

Chen Qingrong said, "So you went and captured him?"

Officer Yao nodded. "Well, when we found him, he was sleeping in his dormitory. When we brought him back and interrogated him, he was completely wiped out."

"It's really him." Chen Qingrong looked unhappy. "When he called me to threaten me that time, I knew he had bad intentions. I didn't expect him to go so far this time. He really doesn't know how to live or die."

Just then, a couple dressed simply arrived.

"Officer Yao, Officer Yao, our Hailong really didn't mean it, please let him go!"

The middle-aged woman immediately knelt down and hugged Officer Yao's thighs.

Officer Yao quickly supported her and said with a stern face, "Stand up and talk. Don't kneel down casually. It has a bad influence. Also, your son has admitted that he deliberately set the fire with the purpose of burning Mr. Chen and others to death. The evidence is irrefutable. You don't need to beg for mercy here. It will be useless."

He then said to Chen Qingrong and the others, "These two are the parents of Zheng Hailong and Zheng Li."

Father Zheng knelt down in front of Chen Qingrong and the others and begged, "I beg you to be kind and give our Hailong a chance. We have already lost a daughter. If we lose a son, then our Zheng family will really be extinct."

"We are willing to withdraw our previous charges against you. We will not prosecute you. Please let him go!"

Tang Chengshan snorted heavily, and said in a timid tone, "Only your Zheng family has descendants? Are our Tang and Chen families without descendants? Your son set fire to people, causing my son-in-law to be semi-permanently deaf, and my daughter was also sick from the smoke. They both almost died in the fire last night. Now you want us to let your son go? Huh? I think you are daydreaming!"

"I'm telling you, my lawyer is here. I'm going to file a lawsuit against your son for premeditated murder. If I don't let your son spend the rest of his life in jail, I, Tang Chengshan, am not worthy of being a father!"

Tang Chengshan was really angry.

The daughter and son-in-law almost died, and now the father who was the culprit is still here to feel sympathy?

Where did you get your face?
Lin Yue also expressed her position, "That's right, we will not forgive your son. He should bear the consequences of his own mistakes. Officer Yao, let me make our position clear to you. We absolutely do not accept reconciliation. Please follow the normal legal process."

Officer Yao nodded, "Yes, okay."

"No, no, please let my son go!"

Zheng's mother was about to pounce on Chen Qingrong like a madman, but Officer Yao quickly held her down and had someone drag her away.

This matter has come to an end.

The next step is to go through the normal prosecution process. Zheng Hailong is already over 18 years old, so he will definitely go to jail.

And even if he was under the age of eighteen, Tang Chengshan would do everything he could to send him to prison.

After leaving the police station, Chen Qingrong looked up at the blue sky and felt that things were very dramatic.

He just escaped death last night, and today the criminal was caught in such an outrageous way.

When Chen Qingrong thought about how he was almost killed by a little beast who was much younger than him, he felt so angry that he didn't know where to vent.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Ru, do you two want to go home for dinner?" Lin Yue came over and asked.

Chen Qingrong shook his head, "Mom, we won't go back for dinner. I want to go buy something."

"Okay, then let Xiaoru drive you. After all, you are injured now. Xiaoru, please be considerate of your husband and don't be so willful and always make things difficult for him." Lin Yue advised her precious daughter.

Tang Xiaoru felt innocent and wronged, "How could I have ever tormented him? I have always felt sorry for him."

"Okay, we'll leave first." Tang Chengshan also came over, "Xiao Chen, I'll take you to see the old Chinese doctor from Beijing tomorrow morning and ask him to see if he can use acupuncture to treat your ears."

Chen Qingrong nodded, "Okay, thank you, Dad."

"I told you to stop being polite. We're leaving now. Please drive slower."

"it is good."

The old couple left first.

Tang Xiaoru then asked, "Honey, what do you want to buy? I'll drive you there. We can go anywhere."

Chen Qingrong laughed dryly, "I just lied. I don't want to buy anything. I just want to go shopping."

"Then I'll take you for a ride?"

"it is good."

After getting in the car, Tang Xiaoru received a call from Yang Bingbing, "My dear, I have some news to tell you, and you may not dare to believe it."

Tang Xiaoru was stunned. "What news? From your ghostly voice, it should be good news, right?"

"Hehe." Yang Bingbing smiled obscenely, "Didn't you tell me before that you have a younger brother named A Tai, who is a rapper? Let me tell you, my agent is planning to sign him to our company."

"Really?" Tang Xiaoru was very surprised, "How did your agent find out about Artest?"

"My agent was listening to music on NetEase Cloud Music when he accidentally heard the single released by A-Tai and his group. Then he went to see their performance at a bar. My agent felt that A-Tai had the potential to become a big star, so he thought about signing him."

"Good, this is really good. A-Tai's purpose in making music is to make money. For this reason, his parents didn't agree at first. If he can really sign with your company, it would be a good place for him."

"By the way, does Atai know about this?"

"He probably doesn't know yet. My agent is planning to contact him. Oh, don't tell him in advance, or he'll lose the surprise."

"I'm not that talkative." Tang Xiaoru pouted and said, "Then I'll hang up first. I still have to drive my husband for a ride."

Yang Bingbing was very dissatisfied, "Why are you driving him again? Chen Qingrong is a grown man, but he has the nerve to let his wife drive him all the time. Doesn't he feel ashamed?"

"Don't say that. My husband has a health problem."

"What's the problem? Yang Wei? Then you have to get a divorce as soon as possible."

"roll……"

Tang Xiaoru hung up the phone with a gloomy face.

Then she glanced sideways at Chen Qingrong and found that he was looking at her with that dull and confused look again.

Tang Xiaoru quickly typed on her phone for him to see, "Are you unable to hear again?"

Chen Qingrong looked at her phone and smiled. "I didn't hear it just now, but when you said "get lost", I could already hear it. So what was the matter when Yang Bingbing called you? Did she ask you to come over again?"

Tang Xiaoru shook her head and said with a smile, "No, she told me that her agent is very optimistic about A Tai and plans to sign him as an artist."

"Holy crap, are they serious about this?" Chen Qingrong was also surprised. "I've always thought that A-Tai and his crew were just a makeshift group and it's impossible for them to really make it. I didn't expect that they are actually on the right track. That's great."

"I'll find time to meet with A Tai a few more times and take some ugly photos of him. When he becomes famous, I can sell them to the paparazzi and make money."

"Beast."

Tang Xiaoru had a look of disdain on her face.

Joking aside, Tang Xiaoru still drove Chen Qingrong for a ride.

The so-called driving is actually the same as shopping, that is, wandering around aimlessly.

“Stop the car.”

When passing by a certain place, Chen Qingrong suddenly shouted.

Although Tang Xiaoru was a little confused, she still parked the car on the side of the road.

"What's wrong, husband? Do you want to go to the bathroom? Or did you see something?" Tang Xiaoru asked with concern.

Chen Qingrong pointed outside and said, "Nothing much. I just saw that there were quite a lot of people in that small square, and the corridors in the square looked a bit like those in Qing Dynasty dramas."

Tang Xiaoru asked tentatively, "Do you want to go downstairs for a walk? I'll accompany you?"

"Alright."

Chen Qingrong hesitated for a moment, then unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.

Tang Xiaoru followed closely behind him, locked the car, took his arm and crossed the road.

Although it was not the weekend, there were still a lot of people in the square, especially some children, who were running around chattering and occasionally making whistle sounds that only children can make.

"As long as you don't hear the children's shouting on the high-speed rail, it's quite pleasant to hear it anywhere else." Tang Xiaoru joked as she walked.

Chen Qingrong pinched his ear with one hand, and he heard the buzzing sound again.

Tang Xiaoru noticed his movements and quickly stopped, "Does your ear hurt? Can't you hear me?"

Chen Qingrong forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I can hear it. It's just a little buzzing. It's fine now."

Tang Xiaoru was really distressed. "Promise me, no matter what medicine the Chinese doctor prescribes for you or how many injections he gives you, you will cooperate obediently, okay? As long as your ears can be healed, everything will be worth it."

"Why, if I really become deaf, you won't want me anymore?"

"That's not the case." Tang Xiaoru shook her head and stood on tiptoe to whisper in his ear, "I'm mainly worried that you'll become deaf and won't be able to hear me screaming."

Chen Qingrong was immediately perked up. "That's true. If there's no feedback on hits, what's the point of playing this shooting game?"

Tang Xiaoru covered her mouth and smiled, looking somewhat charming and a little playful.

After walking around and getting hungry, the couple found a restaurant nearby to eat.

Tang Xiaoru's attention to Chen Qingrong has reached an unprecedented level now, and she would check from time to time to see if he showed any strange expressions.

If he suddenly looked at her blankly again, she would know that he probably couldn't hear her again, and she would have to type it for him.

Fortunately, Chen Qingrong did not show any symptoms of hearing loss until they returned home.

The day passed like this.

The next day was Friday. Tang Xiaoru still did not go to the company. Instead, she went to see Chen Qingrong's father with him. Then the three of them went to see the old Chinese doctor from Beijing.

According to Tang Chengshan's introduction, the hometown of this old Chinese medicine doctor from Beijing is Shanghai, but he later went to Beijing to develop. Tang Chengshan offered him a condition that he could not refuse, so he invited him back from Beijing to live in Shanghai permanently.

Otherwise, it would be too much trouble to travel between Shanghai and Beijing to treat Chen Qingrong.

After meeting the old Chinese doctor named Fu, he gave Chen Qingrong a simple hearing test and took his pulse.

Finally, he said, "The situation is not too serious. I can use acupuncture to treat his ears, but I can't guarantee when he will be cured."

"In addition, you need to take a small amount of Chinese medicine continuously to see the effect."

Chen Qingrong was a little worried, "Do you want to pierce my ears? Will it be too painful?"

Fu Lao smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt. It's just like an ant biting you. Besides, even if it really hurts that much, you should just bear it in order to get better soon."

Chen Qingrong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's do this. Will you treat me now?"

"Well, sit on the bed first."

Mr. Fu asked Chen Qingrong to sit on the bed, and asked Tang Xiaoru and Tang Chengshan to hold one of his arms each.

At this point, Chen Qingrong already had a bad feeling.

"Fu, Mr. Fu, didn't you say it didn't hurt? Why did you let my wife and father-in-law hold me down? I feel like I'm a piece of pork on the chopping board!" Chen Qingrong shouted.

Fu Lao was preparing his weapon with his back to him, but he said, "It really doesn't hurt, but you might have psychological pressure, so you don't dare to face it. I asked them to hold you down so that you can be more stable."

After saying that, Mr. Fu turned around and brought over an iron plate.

When Chen Qingrong saw what was on the plate, his eyes almost popped out to the ground.

A "needle" as thick as a thumb and twenty centimeters long, a hammer, two sharp blades, and even iodine and alcohol.

"Fu, Fu, Mr. Fu, the needle you are talking about, could it be that long and thick awl?" Chen Qingrong stuttered while speaking.

Master Fu nodded with a smile, "Yes, this is a silver needle passed down from my master's generation. Don't be fooled by its size, but my technique is good enough. I promise I won't hurt you, so just relax."

As he spoke, he picked up the silver needle and said, "Just use it to prick your auricle and the inside of your ear a few times, and the next steps have nothing to do with acupuncture."

"You're going to stick the needle into my ear? Master Fu, don't be ridiculous. My eardrum will burst if you stick the needle in. Are you giving me acupuncture or making me completely deaf?"

Chen Qingrong suspected that he had heard it wrong.
