Wei Zhe'an quickly washed his body, and the busyness and fatigue of the day seemed to be washed away with the water. In the morning, he "ran into" Li Jinhe, who mentioned that he was going back to the capital and would have dinner with Zhou Xingshuo in the evening, and asked him if he wanted to go.

This news made Wei Zhe'an feel a little uneasy. Beijing was the headquarters of the Li Group, and he was worried, so he agreed to go with them.

He quickly blow-dried his hair, changed into a low-key black casual outfit, and put on a mask and a hat to conceal his identity.

Li Jinhe had already handed him the car keys, and he didn't know when he would be done with his work. Wei Zhe sat in the back seat, waiting quietly.

He looked around. There were few vehicles in the parking lot and no sign of Li Jinhe.

While waiting, Wei Zhe'an felt a little bored and called out Seventeen to see what was going on with it.

Seventeen was in a bad state, listless, drowsy, and had lost his former vitality. Wei Zhe'an reached out and gently stroked Seventeen's head, and found that his body temperature was abnormally high, which made him very worried.

"Seventeen, are you really okay? Was it like this when you upgraded before?" Wei Zhe'an asked with concern.

Seventeen slowly opened his eyes, revealing a trace of fatigue and confusion: "I don't have any experience either. This is also the first time I'm separated from the main system and upgrading on my own."

Wei Zhe'an's heart tightened. If he had known that upgrading would make it so uncomfortable, he would have been better off not upgrading.

He adjusted the air conditioning temperature in the car so that the cool breeze could blow on Seventeen's body to help cool it down. At the same time, he held Seventeen in his arms, supporting Seventeen so that the cool breeze could blow more on him: "Will this be better?"

Seventeen nodded and moved towards the air conditioner with great effort. The cool breeze made it a little more comfortable, but it still felt dizzy and its breath was still burning.

"Didn't you contact the main system last time? Did you ask?" Wei Zhe'an felt distressed to see it like this, and remembered that it could communicate with the main system.

Wei Zhe'an moved closer to the air outlet so that the cool breeze could blow more directly on Seventeen. He was filled with worry and helplessness. Others couldn't see Seventeen, and he couldn't take it to the pet hospital for help.

He could only continue to hold Seventeen and comfort him softly. The two chatted for a while, but Seventeen's spirit was really not good. He didn't last long before he fell into a coma again.

Wei Zhe'an's fingers gently combed Seventeen's soft fur, but his heart was unsettled.

He knew that Li Jinhe's decision to return to the capital was not a rash move. It must be that there was some urgent or important matter that needed to be dealt with on Li's side.

Originally, he planned to let Seventeen go with Li Jinhe. Even if he couldn't provide any substantial help, at least he could serve as a bridge for communication between him and himself and pass on some information.

But Seventeen's current condition made him worried. Wei Zhe'an didn't want Seventeen to travel a long distance in such a state, but he also didn't want Li Jinhe to return to the capital alone.

Just as he lowered his head in thought, Li Jinhe opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

The temperature in the underground garage is already quite low, and the air-conditioning temperature in the car is set to an extremely low level.

Li Jinhe shuddered as soon as he entered the room. He reached out and touched Wei Zhe'an's cold cheek, frowning slightly: "Why do you turn the air conditioner on so low? Aren't you cold?"

Wei Zhe'an then realized that the temperature inside the car was indeed a little too low, but for him, this temperature was still tolerable.

He motioned Li Jinhe to look at Seventeen in his arms and explained, "Seventeen's body temperature is too high. Lowering the air conditioner temperature will make it more comfortable. I don't know what happened with this upgrade. I'm very worried."

Hearing this, Li Jinhe also reached out and touched Seventeen's body. Despite being in such a low temperature environment, Seventeen's body was still incredibly hot. It seemed that its body had completely lost its support and lay limply in Wei Zhe'an's arms.

He asked worriedly, "Is there any solution to this? We can't take it to the vet."

Wei Zhe'an touched Seventeen's head helplessly: "Yes, it said that it has asked the main system for help, but the main system has not responded yet. We can only wait."

Li Jinhe thought for a moment, got out of the car, took out a blanket from the trunk, and handed it to Wei Zhe'an: "Then don't adjust the air conditioner for now, just put on the blanket and don't catch a cold."

Wei Zhe'an took the blanket and put it on. He looked up and asked, "Brother, are you cold?"

Li Jinhe sat in the driver's seat and fastened his seat belt: "I'm fine, it's okay."

The two drove out of the base and set dinner at Zhou Xingshuo's own clubhouse.

Wei Zhe'an originally planned to leave Seventeen in the car, but he was still worried, so he finally decided to carry it into the club.

Led by the service staff, Wei Zhe'an and Li Jinhe walked into the top floor of the guild hall.

Zhou Xingshuo and another man were sitting on the sofa leisurely, drinking tea and chatting. Seeing the two people coming, Zhou Xingshuo put down the teacup in his hand, stood up to greet them, with a warm smile on his face.

"Sure enough, Xiao An is here too. Old Yuan has been talking about him for a long time." Zhou Xingshuo joked, his eyes revealing his love and appreciation for Wei Zhe'an.

Li Jinhe nodded, his eyes fell on the man on the sofa, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Brother Qian, when did you come?"

The man on the sofa then stood up and walked over with a smile: "I just arrived this morning. Are you surprised?"

Li Jinhe walked up to him and hugged him, then introduced Wei Zhe'an to him, saying, "This is my boyfriend Wei Zhe'an." Then he turned to Wei Zhe'an and introduced him, "An'an, this is my friend Yuan Ziqian, you can just call him Brother Qian."

Wei Zhe'an had a well-behaved smile on his face and politely greeted the two of them: "Brother Shuo, Brother Qian, sorry to bother you."

Zhou Xingshuo waved his hand and said generously: "It doesn't matter if I disturb you or not. We are all friends, so don't be polite. Let's sit down and talk." As he said that, he led the two of them to sit on the sofa.

This time Zhou Xingshuo asked Li Jinhe to come over because of things happening in Beijing.

Unlike Yuan Ziqian and Zhou Xingshuo, he lives in Beijing and has closer cooperation with the Li family, so he brought a lot of first-hand information and data.

Several people sat together and began to discuss the affairs of the capital. Wei Zhe'an sat quietly aside, occasionally saying a word or two, but more often, he was silently observing the expressions and demeanor of the crowd, trying to capture more useful information from them.

"Li Xun has been recuperating at home. The news has been kept secret. Not many people know that he is in poor health." Yuan Ziqian took a sip of tea, his tone was thoughtful and emotional, "I don't know what happened last night, so I called an ambulance directly."
