Chapter 453 - TOUGH LITTLE VIXEN



The check-up on Akira did not take long. She had two cuts, but the injuries were not deep or infected. She was also a little bit dehydrated and had not eaten for a while. However, she was not in a bad state for someone who claimed to have lost a day. Dr Shui also tested her for a concussion because of her claimed disorientation. She was fine, but her mental distress was obvious. 

Unfortunately, there was nothing much to do for her. Dr Shui cleaned and bandaged the wounds on her arm, and he instructed Hu Lei to take her to a gynaecologist as soon as possible. While he could not see anything to indicate that her condition was poor, he advised caution. 

​​

Hu Lei nodded in acquiescence. She also needed another check-up, so it would not be troublesome to bring along another person. However, before that happened, it was necessary to understand the level of danger that the girl posed. 

If things were as she said, she was in danger. And disaster often followed in the wake of those associated with other dangerous people. And this young woman was not short of individuals with a bad reputation around her. 

"I have asked the chef to make something light for you. Once you are more comfortable, you can tell us the full situation." Hu Lei spoke to Akira gently as they descended the stairs alongside Dr Shui. 

Akira nodded a little woodenly. Her mind was a little clouded, and she felt like she was in a strange dream. After being close to Hu Lei for a while, she had started to suspect her identity. She would be an idiot not to consider the possibility. 

On certain occasions in the past, she was tempted to dig into the identity of Hu Lei. Her hands had itched to at least do a web search on the woman, and she had come close to diving into the pit. However, her pride stopped her from looking and comparing herself to her. 

Therefore, she did not know the appearance of Hu Lei or Zhong Feng. But she had a gut feeling that they were the loving couple who had welcomed her into their home. As a person with an affinity to patterns and strong deductive capability, she knew that she was right. 

But the illogical part that relied on feelings made her a little dazed because the current situation was not what she expected from the rumoured great Hu Lei. 

In her mind, for some reason, she had built up Hu Lei as a tough little vixen. Akira thought she would be a biker chick who dressed like a dominatrix or something. And even if she dressed normally, she expected a tough-as-nails or tomboyish aura. 

Instead, she found a cute bear and an elegant lady who spoke with a soothing gentleness. It was very confusing. It put her off-kilter, making it impossible for her to decide the best approach to relate with this woman. 

The most important question was: why did both Kaito and Ayumi speak of the kind woman as if she was some kind of crazy demoness?

That alone was enough to make her cautious. 

"Don't forget what I said. Take your friend to see the gynaecologist. If there is any issue, talk to Dr Pei. She is a well-rounded doctor." Dr Shui paused. "I will be leaving Supreme City soon. Just test her out in case I need to look for someone else." 

Hu Lei pursed her lips, but she nodded. She knew she was being stubborn, but she did not want to accept the change, especially during such a sensitive period. However, she knew that Dr Shui was serious about moving to Herb Town. 

She could not do anything about it. 

After Dr Shui left, Hu Lei brought Akira to the dining room and instructed Housekeeper Li to take care of her. She also told him to take the usual breakfast to the study. She was not being intentionally rude to Akira by refusing to share breakfast with her.

However, she knew that Zhong Feng was probably already neck-deep in his 'research'. They needed to discuss the problem at length before they could face this Yamazaki Akira. Ultimately, she was an unknown factor that could bring danger to them. 

A little while later, Hu Lei was stretched out on the couch in the study. She was munching on a fruit salad with some relish after drinking a full mug of milk. Still, Zhong Feng had not appeared from his computer cave despite her ringing the connected bell. 

He always dived in too deep and isolated everything around him when he fell into the mode. 

She sighed before calling him using her phone. He could ignore anything, but her calls always got through regardless of the situation. When he picked up the phone, she did not give him a moment to speak up. 

"If you don't come out, I will destroy your mysterious bookcase door again. It will be easier since I have a sword now." She said in a leisurely way while still munching on the fruit. 

She hung up the phone with a dubious smile. 

She had indeed destroyed the bookcase before, forcing him to rebuild. It was not that Zhong Feng did not allow her into the room. However, she preferred not to go there aimlessly or learn the combination of moving the books to open the stupid door. 

She thought it was a good thing that he had his little nerd heaven. She had her library just like the one in the villa in Area 99, except it was bigger and better. Usually, they spent all their time in each other's pockets. She believed it was a good thing to have a place to unwind. 

As for the reason she once broke into the secret room using force, it was because Zhong Feng had disappeared there for almost twenty hours. His phone was off, and the bell did not seem to be functioning. 

It turned out that he had fallen into a deep sleep on the desk while working on the IHA matters after spending even more time on Zhong Industries business issues. Since then, Hu Lei did not let him stay in for too long without checking in. 

The bookcase revolved smoothly, and the man came out with a helpless expression on his face. 

"How long do you intend to hold that incident against me?" He asked. 

Hu Lei sat up. "Are you calling me fat?" 

Zhong Feng sat down across the coffee table and poured himself a cup of tea from the earthen kettle. He sipped on it with appreciation. As always, the tea made by Elder Huo was exceptional. It was good that Hu Lei always got him a consistent supply. 

"You will have to walk me through this one." He humoured her. 

"It is simple. People say elephants never forget. Since you think I am not going forget, you are calling me an elephant." Hu Lei explained. 

"Oh, that's a pretty good one." He complimented. 

"I think so too." Hu Lei lifted her nose proudly. "Your response?" 

"Something about your high IQ." He said perfunctorily. 

"You are phoning it in." 

"A little." His light tone changed. "You have not told me how you found out about Yamazaki Akira."
