In the cafe, Yu Fen was wearing a dark purple lady's dress and a huge sun hat, which covered most of her face even if she was indoors.

The coffee in front of Yu Fen's desk was still steaming hot, but she didn't take a sip. She raised the brim of her hat and looked around, as if she was looking for someone's trace.

"Why don't you come?" Yu Fen couldn't help muttering, her eyes showed obvious impatience.

Finally, a man in a windbreaker came over and sat down opposite to Yu Fen.

"You want to hire me?" The man looked up at Yu Fen carefully, and couldn't help frowning when he saw her attire.

It seems that the man in front of her is indeed the private detective she hired. Yu Fen's eyes lit up, she took out two photos from her pocket and handed them to the man in front of her, and said in a low voice, "I want you to follow up and investigate these two people." .”

The man took the two photos, just glanced at them, his expression suddenly changed.

"I won't take over this business." He pushed the photo back without thinking.

"These two people were originally on the cusp of public opinion, but they were suddenly suppressed. There must be forces behind them that I can't afford to offend. I don't want to get involved in this muddy water." The private detective rejected Yu Fen's business.

He is not stupid, especially this young lady of the Shen family, the power behind her is probably not simple, so he doesn't want to eagerly get involved.

Yu Fen snorted coldly and said, "No? Then use the double price agreed before, a total of 200 million."

The private detective still shook his head: "If you say no, you won't pick it up. I won't do this business. You should find someone else."

"How about the price of 300 million?" Yu Fen gritted her teeth and said.

"Such a price should be rare, right? I just asked you to take some photos."

The man in front of him hesitated, frowning and lost in thought.

"Don't push yourself too hard." Yu Fen's face also turned cold, and her tone was no longer as polite as it was at the beginning.

"Do you know who I am? I'm the current director of the Shen Group. Is it a simple matter to investigate two people?"

"It's so cheap that you don't even want to pick it up?"

After Shen's father passed away, Yu Fen took the position of director of Shen's Group. She had coveted the company for a long time, so naturally she would not miss this opportunity.

The private detective raised his head in surprise, she is the current director of the Shen family, so isn't she the
That being the case, why did she investigate this matter?
As soon as doubts arose in her mind, she heard Yu Fen snort coldly and say: "Since you already know that I'm going to investigate this matter, you have to go to this muddy water, otherwise I won't make it easier for you .”

This was a blatant threat. A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the private detective, and he finally agreed.

Shen Xueyao's public opinion turmoil has passed for some time, and people have already been attracted by other news focuses. Although they still need to wear a mask when going out, it is not necessary to hide and close the door.

It was rare to go to the company on the first day after the public opinion passed, but it started to rain without warning, and Shen Xueyao didn't bring an umbrella.

Shouting bad luck in her heart, the subway station was still some distance away from the YU Group, so Shen Xueyao had no choice but to run to the company in embarrassment in the rain.

By the time of the YU group, her clothes were already wet, and her shirt was wrinkled and stuck to her body. The only thing that made her breathe a sigh of relief was that she was wearing a shirt that looked good today, so it wouldn't be too embarrassing.

The people in the company were not very familiar with her, and after the public opinion, everyone looked at her coldly and showed no sign of anyone wanting to talk to her.

Shen Xueyao was also happy to be quiet, and sat down at her desk, using paper towels to deal with the wet hair and water stains on her clothes.

The position she was sitting in happened to be closer to the door, and she wondered if it was because she was drenched in the rain and was sensitive to the cold outside.

"Why is it so cold." Shen Xueyao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief into her hands, and muttered something.

The clothes were finally dried, but they had already become wrinkled, and the body began to gradually heat up.

Shouldn't you have a fever?Shen Xueyao suddenly felt something was wrong.

After finally getting off work, Shen Xueyao's lips were extremely pale, but an unnatural red color flew onto the sides of her cheeks. She felt colder than in the morning.

Knowing that she must be sick, Shen Xueyao pursed her lower lip and tried her best to support her head.

The eyes seemed to be blurred with double images, and the computer screen was still blank.

The people in the office didn't seem to notice Shen Xueyao's abnormality and left in twos and threes. Shen Xueyao packed up her things and wanted to get up, but she felt dizzy for a while, and after her eyes went dark for a while, she sat back on the chair again.

Dizziness, cold, and sleepiness came together, making Shen Xueyao unable to open her uncomfortable eyes.

what to do?Are you going to trouble Annie again?Xiaobao will be worried if he knows that he is sick, right?Shen Xueyao thought helplessly.

Fortunately, Xiaobao was still at Annie's house, not alone, otherwise he would have to worry to death.

Feeling the phone vibrate in a daze, Shen Xueyao fumbled for a long time before picking up the phone.

"Xueyao, did you go to work today? Didn't you get chased by the paparazzi?" Zhou Pengfei's worried voice came from the microphone.

"It's okay, no paparazzi found me." Shen Xueyao replied weakly.

Zhou Pengfei immediately heard something wrong with Shen Xueyao's tone: "Xueyao, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

"I seem to have a fever, and now I can't go back by myself in the company." Shen Xueyao raised her hand to her forehead, her hand was hot, so she had to say.

"Have a fever? Wait for me, I'll come pick you up right away." Zhou Pengfei's tone raised a few degrees, and he suddenly became nervous.

Before Shen Xueyao could answer, Zhou Pengfei had already hung up the phone.

Her whole body was sore and weak, and she couldn't think about anything else, so she could only lie on the desk in the office.It seemed that he fell asleep half asleep, until he was gently patted awake.

"Xueyao? Xueyao? Wake up!"

Shen Xueyao woke up from the dream, feeling that her whole body was hot as if she was about to catch fire, and her throat was extremely dry and sore.

"Everyone has left, why did you stay here alone? I'll take you back right away!" Zhou Pengfei's tone was accusing, while helping Shen Xueyao.

"Pengfei, Xiaobao knows that he will be worried, so don't tell him." Shen Xueyao said forcefully.

"How about this, you can send you back to the rented room first, there will be no problem with Annie taking care of Xiaobao." Zhou Pengfei said decisively.

With one arm around Shen Xueyao's waist, he helped her up halfway, the moment his hand touched Shen Xueyao's skin, scalding heat came, as if it was going to burn him.

It's so hot!It seemed that the fever was severe, and Zhou Pengfei couldn't help worrying.

Helping Shen Xueyao out of the company carefully, when the cold wind blew, Shen Xueyao became somewhat awake.

"Pengfei, thank you for coming to help me." Shen Xueyao was a little confused, but said gratefully.

"Thank you, we are friends from the beginning." Zhou Pengfei said in a very natural tone.

"Aren't you afraid of being photographed by the paparazzi?" Shen Xueyao seemed to want to tease a few more words, but she tried her best to pull the corners of her lips, but finally gave up, she was really powerless.

"We are not afraid of crooked shadows when we stand, not to mention your body is important now." Zhou Pengfei said with a cold snort. Anyway, he has been harassed by those paparazzi these days, and the anger in his heart has accumulated a lot and has nowhere to vent.

Shen Xueyao wanted to talk again, but when she was going down the stairs, she became unsteady and almost fell.

Zhou Pengfei was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged her waist tightly, but in the eyes of others, it was like holding Shen Xueyao in his arms. This was the only way to stabilize her body.

The posture of the two seemed extremely ambiguous, and not far away, a man wearing a peaked cap secretly captured this scene with a camera.

"Xueyao, can you still go? I'll take you to the hospital directly." Zhou Pengfei subconsciously hugged Shen Xueyao tightly, startled, and asked hastily.

"No, I was drenched in the rain this morning, so I'll be fine after a night of sleep." Shen Xueyao shook her head, unwilling to make Zhou Pengfei so troublesome.

Zhou Pengfei had no choice but to nod, helped Shen Xueyao into the car, fastened her seat belt, and then drove away from the YU Group.

Sending Shen Xueyao back to her rented room, Shen Xueyao pulled herself together and packed her clothes to take a hot bath, while Zhou Pengfei thoughtfully cooked ginger soup for her to drive away the cold.

After taking a hot bath and drinking the warm ginger soup, Shen Xueyao felt that her body was warmed up a bit, but the drowsiness hit her even more violently, making her unable to open her eyes.

"Xueyao, you should rest first, I'll be here to watch over you." Zhou Pengfei saw that Shen Xueyao was uncomfortable, and said very considerately.

Helping Shen Xueyao to lie down, Zhou Pengfei put a towel wet with cold water on Shen Xueyao's forehead, and said softly.

Shen Xueyao thanked again gratefully, and just fell asleep like this.

Zhou Pengfei changed Shen Xueyao's cold towel several times, in order to suppress her temperature, but Shen Xueyao still couldn't sleep well, she frowned several times and talked in sleep, as if she was experiencing a nightmare.

Shen Xueyao, who was covering the quilt, was sweating a lot on her forehead and temples, and Zhou Pengfei wiped it off carefully for her.

After sitting like this until midnight, Shen Xueyao really stopped talking in her sleep, and Zhou Pengfei also heaved a sigh of relief.

However, he took his body temperature again, only to find that Shen Xueyao's temperature was still above 38 degrees, and the fever still hadn't subsided.

In such a situation, he couldn't walk away at all, and if he continued like this, he would definitely burn out.

Feeling anxious, Zhou Pengfei shook Shen Xueyao lightly, and said, "Xueyao, hold on, I'll buy you antipyretics."

Shen Xueyao, who was sleepy, didn't know if she had reacted, but she hummed lightly, and Zhou Pengfei immediately put on her coat and mask and went to the pharmacy to buy antipyretics.
