Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

Chapter 185 Something's Wrong with This Villain (25)

In Jiang Heng's private ward at a private hospital under the Jiang family's umbrella, Jiang Tuo, with one hand draped over his dark gray suit jacket, was leaning over to examine Jiang Heng's complexion.

Jiang Heng has fallen into a deep sleep under 886's manipulation. At this moment, 886 is observing the every move of this person named Jiang Tuo in the consciousness space. The original story didn't contain much description of Jiang Tuo; if Jiang Heng hadn't feigned illness this time, he probably wouldn't have returned to the country.

Isn't Jiang Heng the most precious young master of the Jiang family? This is so out of place...

"Chairman Jiang, Dr. Lu said that the young master's illness this time was caused by palpitations."

"Heart palpitations?" Jiang Tuo took the examination report from his assistant and looked at the butler waiting beside him. "What was Xiao Heng doing before she fainted?"

“Young Master, the young master had just come out of the game pod. When I received the system alert and rushed over, the young master had already fainted.”

Because of Jiang Heng's poor health, he always carried a monitoring device connected to the villa's alarm system. The moment he lost consciousness, the villa's alarm system went off throughout the entire space.

At that time, Jiang Heng's face was deathly pale, his lips were purple, and his breathing was extremely weak. The butler almost thought he wouldn't make it.

"Game pod..."

Jiang Tuo's eyes flickered slightly as he finally turned his gaze to the medical report in his hand. Jiang Heng had been a frequent visitor to hospitals since childhood, so Jiang Tuo could understand most of the data on the report.

Jiang Heng is currently in a very delicate state... but one thing is certain: he cannot withstand any more stimulation.

"Uncle Liu, please take good care of Xiao Heng."

Jiang Tuo took one last look at Jiang Heng before turning and leaving the ward. His assistant quickly followed, but just before leaving, he couldn't help but look back at the person on the bed with a complicated expression.

The two had just reached the elevator when it dinged and arrived. As the doors opened, Cheng Qian's lowered gaze fell upon the long, straight legs encased in dark gray trousers. He looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with surprise.

"Brother Jiang Tuo!"

Jiang Tuo's thoughts were interrupted. He frowned and looked at the person who had called out to him, and was immediately surprised.

"Xiao Cheng?"

"I heard you were back. I thought I'd be a couple of days late in seeing you. I never imagined I'd be so lucky."

Just as Cheng Qian was about to step out of the elevator, Jiang Tuo stepped forward and stopped her. "I happen to have something I want to ask you."

So Cheng Qian followed Jiang Tuo down to the parking lot in the elevator.

......

"Xiaoheng has indeed become more addicted to holographic games in the past six months. He once told me that only in holographic games can he be his complete self, and if he could, he would like to stay in the game forever..."

In the back seat, Cheng Qian cautiously glanced at Jiang Tuo's face, but unfortunately most of his face was shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to see.

"okay, I get it."

For a moment, the carriage fell completely silent. Cheng Qian clenched his fist, as if he had made up his mind, and turned slightly to face Jiang Tuo.

“Brother Jiang Tuo, I feel you don’t care enough about Xiao Heng. These past few years he’s been alone in the country, and apart from me, he doesn’t even have anyone he can confide in.”

Jiang Tuo didn't respond to his words, but simply said, "You go up first."

Cheng Qian hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the door and got out of the car. Without Jiang Tuo's instructions, the assistant and driver were still waiting outside the car.

When the car window rolled down, Jiang Tuo's expression grew even colder. The assistant glanced at the crumpled medical report and sighed inwardly, but he had no right to interfere with any of his boss's decisions.

In the ward, 886 awakened Jiang Heng's consciousness, and the One Person One Universe was communicating in his mind.

“Host, I feel like Jiang Tuo is acting strangely. If he doesn’t care about his younger brother, why did he come all the way back from abroad? But he didn’t ask you much about your situation just now.”

886 crossed his arms and began analyzing rapidly in his consciousness space.

Jiang Heng is looking at the footage of Jiang Tuo that 886 just recorded.

"It's quite strange, but he shouldn't be indifferent to the original owner... I'll lie down for two more days and see how it goes."

At that moment, the ward door was pushed open, and Jiang Heng looked at the doorway from 886's perspective at the same time.

"Mr. Cheng."

Cheng Qian looked at the housekeeper and smiled, "Uncle Liu, I've come to see Xiao Heng. You've worked hard these past few days, go and rest for a while, I'll look after her here."

Uncle Liu hesitated for a moment, glancing at Jiang Heng who was still unconscious. Just as he was about to refuse, Cheng Qian cut him off with a single sentence, "Uncle Liu, don't you trust me?"

Uncle Liu had no choice but to agree, "Then just call me if you need anything."

A few minutes after Uncle Liu left, Cheng Qian gently locked the door. He slowly walked to Jiang Heng's bedside, pulled up a chair, sat down, and rested his chin on his elbow on the edge of the bed, examining Jiang Heng's pale face.

"Xiaoheng, Jiang Tuo is back. I knew he'd come back as soon as you got sick." Cheng Qian tucked the blanket around Jiang Heng, her voice tinged with envy. "He's so good to you. How about we let him stay here forever? Haven't you always wanted him to stay in China with you?"

Jiang Heng felt a chill run down her spine as she watched Cheng Qian's increasingly dazed expression. This guy probably liked Jiang Tuo.

It's ridiculous that when you like someone, instead of trying to keep up with them, you try to trap them.

......

At Shengfeng Group, Wei Shenglan looked at the data of "The Vanished Mountain God" captured by the system. He raised his finger and typed a series of codes. Just as he was about to press the confirmation button, his phone suddenly rang.

Wei Shenglan glanced at the screen, saw the note, raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, and removed his hand from the screen.

"Wei Shenglan, let's talk."

At a private restaurant owned by the Jiang family, Jiang Tuo was handling official business when Wei Shenglan arrived. Hearing footsteps, Jiang Tuo raised his hand to his computer, looked up, and met Wei Shenglan's gaze as he stood in front of the table.

The two men, one standing and one sitting, were neither at a disadvantage.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Jiang Tuo suddenly smiled, stood up, and punched Wei Shenglan on the shoulder with his fist. "Long time no see."

Wei Shenglan pretended to smugly dust off his shoulder, pulled out a chair and sat down. "I thought you had already settled down abroad."

“If my brother were willing to come with me, it's not impossible,” Jiang Tuo sighed helplessly. “But you know, he's too attached to the past…”

Before Jiang Tuo lived abroad, Wei Shenglan had heard about his younger brother many times from him. His only impression was that he was a boy with poor health.

Now, the people Jiang Tuo described in his past words have become a tangible image in his mind.

Despite being tormented by illness for many years, she remains vibrant, intelligent, and bold. Her occasional quirks don't make people feel disgusted; instead, they make people wonder how she can be so... likable.

"Shenglan, has there been any new progress on that issue we discussed before?"

Amidst the clinking of glasses, Jiang Tuo suddenly uttered this remark. Wei Shenglan gripped his glass tightly, his fingertips turning slightly white.

Last summer, Wei Shenglan and Jiang Tuo had a conversation via voice chat where Wei proposed an idea: to keep a person's consciousness permanently in a holographic game in order to achieve a new life in another sense.

Jiang Tuo wouldn't ask about this for no reason... Could it be that he wants to...?!
