Chapter 607: Chapter 607

Afterward, Huo Feng and Wen Miao were both rushed to the hospital to receive proper treatment.

Huo Feng had a large area of burns on his back, which meant he would need to continue receiving treatment over the next few days, so he was asked to be hospitalized.

Wen Miao had injuries to her neck and behind her ears, and had her sideburns shaved during the treatment, which somewhat marred her appearance...

But fortunately, Wen Miao’s burns weren’t too severe, her skin just darkened, and in the coming days it should scab over and gradually peel off, whether scars would remain was another matter that was hard to predict.

To better care for her wounds and aid in the healing process, Wen Miao voluntarily requested to be hospitalized. Therefore, she also stayed in the surgical ward with Huo Feng.

After the incident, the police quickly arrived at the hospital to take statements from Huo Feng, Wen Miao, and other relevant individuals.

Since Huo Feng and Wen Miao were injured and unable to move around readily, the police summoned Pu Sangzhi and a few of Huo Feng’s underlings to the police station for more detailed statements and to introduce the relationships between individuals.

Throwing acid was a criminal matter, and the police had to take it seriously and could not treat it superficially.

So, after Pu Sangzhi and his brothers went to the police station, Huo Feng and Wen Miao were left in the hospital.

At that time, the parents from both families also hurried over.

Huo Feng’s mother and Wen Miao’s relatives, a number of elders who had rushed over, were all terrified by the incident, feeling a mixture of relief and anxiety...

It wasn’t a big deal for Huo Feng and Wen Miao to be in the same hospital room...

But Huo Feng hadn’t expected that for such a minor injury on Wen Miao, her family would come storming in like a battalion.

Her parents, her three brothers, and her two sisters-in-law...

A mighty crowd filled the room in an instant...

In the entire ward, it seemed like only the voices of Wen Miao’s family could be heard because they drowned out everyone else’s.

This family seriously disrupted Huo Feng’s peace and quiet; it was like one couldn’t even get a moment of rest in the hospital.

Shen Yu sat beside Huo Feng, who was lying face down on the bed, his body wrapped in many layers of gauze, his neck also covered with gauze soaked in yellow medicine.

He looked like someone who had been seriously injured!

Shen Yu was beside herself with worry, "How on earth did this happen? Who did this? Such an extreme method, using acid on two girls. This doesn’t look like something students would do; could it be the work of thugs? Who have you been messing with?"

Lying on the bed and engrossed in his phone, Huo Feng casually replied, "No..."

"Oh, you’re in this state and still on your phone..."

Shen Yu couldn’t stand to watch, so she grabbed Huo Feng’s phone away, "Talk to me. What exactly happened? How did you run into those people? Do you have any idea what’s going on? And just how badly are you hurt? Are you okay physically?"

The phone-less Huo Feng lazily flopped his head onto the pillow and stared off into space, letting out a long sigh, "Ah..."

"What are you sighing about?"

Shen Yu, filled with concern, leaned in closer, "Come on, what happened? Tell me. Mom is really worried about you."

Turning his head, Huo Feng furrowed his brow and stared at Shen Yu, "Isn’t everything you want to know being discussed in the next bed over?"

With such a large family crowding around Wen Miao, bombarding her with questions, Shen Yu’s concerns had indeed already been thoroughly addressed.

But while everyone had asked most of the pertinent questions, Wen Miao on the next bed over was hardly able to provide any answers.

She didn’t know when she had offended that gang, why they would attack her with such methods, who exactly they were, and she hadn’t even seen the faces of her assailants...

So after listening to the concerns of the family in the next bed for a while, Shen Yu was still left without any useful information.

Very worried, she could only turn back to Huo Feng...

"Tell me. What exactly is the situation? What do you know? Speak up, Mom is worried..."

Huo Feng sighed and reported honestly, "I don’t know. If I did know, I would’ve named the bosses’ whereabouts and identities, and the police would’ve already arrested them by now, no need to ask around for information, right?"

Hearing this, Shen Yu grew even more anxious, "What information are you trying to find out? Does that mean you don’t know, but someone else does, right? Then you need to have someone tell you quickly..."

Huo Feng was truly exasperated with Shen Yu, "I was messaging Pan Bo. He’s at the police station. I wanted to see if the cops had found out anything."

Shen Yu asked again, "So, have the police found out anything?"

Huo Feng replied with frustration, "How would I know? My phone is with you, isn’t it? Why don’t you check the messages?"

Shen Yu then lowered her head to pick up Huo Feng’s phone, unlocked the screen, and checked the latest message from Pan Bo.

Pan Bo said, "The police have already sent people out to investigate surveillance footage at the store and to identify those men. However, although they’ve started looking, there hasn’t been any progress so far."

Reading Pan Bo’s reply, Shen Yu’s heart ached with worry. She patted her chest, trying to take even breaths. Read full story at 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝

"Mom, what did Fatty send?" Seeing her odd reaction, Huo Feng hurriedly asked her.

Shen Yu responded with a heavy sigh, "They haven’t found anything."

Huo Feng nodded, "It’s normal not to find anything. Those guys were wearing helmets and masks, their entire faces hidden tightly. Plus, their motorcycles didn’t have license plates. It’s tough to start an investigation on such people."

Suddenly, Huo Feng seemed to remember something and asked, "Why hasn’t Old Huo come? Didn’t you tell him I was severely injured and close to death?"

Shen Yu waved her hand, "When I got the call, I thought it was just a minor fight. How could I trouble your dad with such a thing, so I didn’t tell him."

Huo Feng pointed a finger at Shen Yu, "Hurry up and tell him, let him know that I’ve been splashed with sulfuric acid while protecting Sangzhi and that I’m grievously injured, on my last breath. Now is the time to garner sympathy, you can’t keep this from him, hurry up!"

Shen Yu gave Huo Feng an exasperated glance, "Look at the state you’re in, and you still have the mood for jokes."

Huo Feng said, "This is exactly why we should use the opportunity. Hurry and tell Old Huo, I need his sympathy, quickly, quickly..."

"Alright, alright, I’ll call."

Afterward, Shen Yu directly used Huo Feng’s phone to call Huo Mingshan, informing him of Huo Feng’s ordeal today and his current situation.

On receiving the news, Huo Mingshan immediately expressed he would come to the hospital to see Huo Feng and to understand the situation.

Later, Huo Feng asked Shen Yu to arrange a transfer for him to a private room, wanting to stay in a single room.

The current four-person ward was too noisy...

Especially Wen Miao’s family, they were about to drive Huo Feng to a nervous breakdown.

Shen Yu naturally didn’t refuse Huo Feng’s request and quickly went to arrange for his transfer to a private room.

Faced with such an event, Shen Yu, as a parent, was naturally frightened and quite out of sorts.

In her anxiousness, Shen Yu even shared the news with Huo Feng’s grandfather, Shen Jianhua.

She thought that Shen Jianhua still had some underworld connections, and he might be able to find out who those thugs were...

Regardless, as the incident had gotten this out of hand, it was necessary to uncover the reason behind it.

Otherwise, who could say if there wouldn’t be a next time?

Shen Yu actually had a suspicion that these overbearing thugs could be connected to Pu Sangzhi’s family’s debts.

But she didn’t raise this suspicion in front of Huo Feng as if she were wary of Pu Sangzhi.

At that moment, Shen Yu’s heart was filled with both urgency and turmoil...

Meanwhile, in a nearby police station, Pu Sangzhi and Pan Bo’s people were still awaiting the latest news from the police.

They had all been questioned once before, and now, with a substantial number of leads collected, the police had dispatched several officers to look into the unidentified hoodlums.

They had been waiting quite a while, and the police had been out for quite a while too, but so far, no new information had been brought forth.

Sitting in the police station’s lobby, Pu Sangzhi and a few of his brothers were discussing possible reasons for the incident.

Pan Bo asked Pu Sangzhi if he had offended anyone recently, or if Wen Miao had offended someone during this time?

The police had asked these questions earlier, but Pan Bo privately questioned Pu Sangzhi again as if he didn’t quite believe Pu Sangzhi’s previous answers to the police.

Privately, Pu Sangzhi confided to Pan Bo, "I haven’t had any conflicts with anyone recently. If there really was something, it was this Thursday when the three of us had a fallout with some classmates in the cafeteria. Could that clash count as a clue?"

Pan Bo then asked, "Who?"
