Chapter 741: 736 The Call from the Overtones

Carrying a pot of hangover remedy, Gu Chen came to her side.

Looking at Ji Pianran’s state, Gu Chen felt somewhat worried.

It was as if Pianran truly was out of her senses.

At that moment, Gu Chen carefully fed a small amount of the soup into Pianran’s mouth with a spoon.

He dared not feed too much, for Ji Pianran was in a comatose state, and if by accident it entered her windpipe, it could very well choke her to death.

Only a little bit was consumed, just about three spoonfuls.

But indeed, it was visibly evident that her entire condition changed on the spot compared to before.

For instance, the color of Ji Pianran’s face was no longer as rosy as it had been moments ago.

And her breathing was also extremely regular.

Surprise showed on Gu Chen’s face.

He had not expected his hangover remedy to be so effective.

They had only intended to give it a casual try, yet such a reaction had ensued.

At that moment, he gazed at Ji Pianran and was sure that she had indeed changed.

Just as Gu Chen was pondering over these matters, Pianran drowsily opened her eyes all of a sudden.

When she opened her eyes, Gu Chen became even more bewildered.

That had happened too fast; he had just fed it to her, not expecting such a swift effect.

"Husband, have I arrived home?"

At this time, Ji Pianran had woken up, but the alcohol in her bloodstream still made her a little dizzy.

"We’re home, don’t worry," Gu Chen said in a soft and tender voice.

Upon seeing Gu Chen, Pianran seemed to exhale a sigh of relief in an instant.

"Why did you drink so much today? I remember you didn’t seem to like drinking in the past," Gu Chen curiously asked.

Upon hearing this, her face showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Today there were many old classmates I hadn’t seen for a long time, so I drank a bit. I didn’t expect to have too much, but fortunately, I was brought back.

By the way, how did you bring me back? How did you know where I was?"

Although Ji Pianran was a bit confused at the time, she still had a bit of her basic reasoning.

"I was out dining with Tangtang today and just happened to see you, so I brought you back with me. I saw you were dead drunk and didn’t feel reassured leaving you alone there,"

Gu Chen did not mention the incident with Tong Jingxin.

He was mainly concerned that if he told her, it might affect her mood for the day.

"I thought you had come specially to find me," Ji Pianran said with a smile.

He seemingly had no recollection of what had happened in the restroom.

At that time, Ji Pianran was already deeply intoxicated, utterly unaware of his surroundings.

"Hurry and lie down on the bed to rest, you’ll feel better after a sleep,"

Gu Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing that, she nodded as well.

Now she really could feel what it meant to have a splitting headache.

Persisting through it truly wasn’t an easy task.

And so she went to sleep.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen was left alone to clean up the mess in the area.

While tidying up, Gu Chen also thought about the matter concerning Tong Jingxin.

He didn’t know what kind of person Tong Jingxin really was.

But from that brief encounter, Gu Chen felt this person was probably one to hold grudges over every flaw.

So Gu Chen did not doubt for a moment that the guy would most likely retaliate against him.

However, of course, Gu Chen was not in a hurry.

He believed that as long as he was here, that guy would not dare do anything to him.

Not to mention, at the very least, the Wei Family was still here.

And the items he had exchanged from the point mall should be able to protect him.

However, he considered the items he had exchanged from the point mall as his trump card.

If it wasn’t truly a moment of crisis, he definitely couldn’t reveal this trump card.

Because once this trump card was revealed, it meant that he would most likely find himself in a difficult situation.

Gu Chen just patiently washed dishes and pots.

After everything was done, Gu Chen felt completely relieved.

Almost half an hour passed by like this.

Gu Chen was then planning to go rest directly.

But suddenly, the phone at home started ringing out of the blue.

When their phone rang, Gu Chen felt it wasn’t going to be anything good.

What time was it now? It was already the middle of the night.

Still, he helplessly hurried over to answer the phone, fearing the ringtone was too loud and might disturb the rest of the mother and daughter.

After answering the phone, he heard Wei Tianfu’s voice.

"What happened today?"

He asked Gu Chen like this from the other end.

After hearing this, Gu Chen straightforwardly replied, "There wasn’t a big incident, just a minor matter."

"Do you understand that person’s background?" Wei Tianfu continued on the phone.

After hearing this, Gu Chen slightly furrowed his brows.

He always felt that Wei Tianfu must have an ulterior motive for suddenly saying such a thing. Otherwise, why would he say it?

So at this point, he concluded there must be more to the story.

"I heard he’s from Yancheng," Gu Chen replied truthfully at that time.

Wei Tianfu on the other side of the phone hummed in response.

"Not bad, and he’s not just from Yancheng, he’s also the eldest son of the Tong Family from Yancheng.

He’s not very capable, and from what we know of him now, he’s just as ordinary as an overseas student can get.

However, his old man has some abilities; he has very extensive connections."

After saying this, Gu Chen seemed to understand what he was trying to convey.

"So you’re saying I have offended him now," Gu Chen said to him.

After hearing this, Wei Tianfu casually replied, "If you feel that you have offended him, then you have offended him, and if you feel it doesn’t matter, then it doesn’t matter.

I just wanted to tell you that this person is not simple, you need to be careful, what kind of methods he can use is still an unknown."

Wei Tianfu said this over the phone.

"He will probably retaliate against me," Gu Chen said.

The conversation between the two of them sounded so carefree, as if they were discussing something extraordinarily mundane.

However, at this moment, Wei Tianfu said very seriously.

"Based on my understanding of him, he will probably do so, and he may indeed plan to retaliate against you,"

After hearing this, Gu Chen had no particular reaction; he just quietly listened.

"But you don’t have to worry too much, he probably wouldn’t dare do anything too outrageous."

After a brief chat, they hung up the phone.

His call seemed to be just a casual check on Gu Chen.

However, Gu Chen was clear that he had already said everything he wanted to say.
