Chapter 597: Seeking medical treatment in danger, exchanging money for a car and boat

Li Yuanji never imagined that forgetting someone would be like a severe illness that would completely devastate Jiang Wei.

In the past few days, Jiang Wei lay in bed, his face as pale as paper, his forehead burning hot, and he had a high fever that wouldn't go away.

The sky outside the window was gloomy and the rain was falling softly. The sound of raindrops hitting the glass made a dull sound, which added to the depressing feeling.

Li Yuanji was extremely anxious. He sat by the bed and kept wiping Jiang Wei's forehead with a towel, trying to help her cool down.

But even after changing towels one after another, Jiang Wei's body temperature showed no signs of dropping.

After Wen Liang left, he seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and never came back.

The hotel reservation time had long passed, and just when Li Yuanji was getting anxious, the money left by Wen Liang came in handy and barely covered the room fee for the past few days.

But this could not solve the fundamental problem. Jiang Wei's condition became more and more serious, and Li Yuanji was helpless.

He paced back and forth in the room, his eyes falling on Jiang Wei from time to time, his heart full of self-blame and worry.

During these days of worry and anxiety about Jiang Wei's condition, time seemed to be stretched out.

Li Yuanji stayed by Jiang Wei's side almost every step of the way, but unexpectedly found that his injuries had improved a lot.

He thought back and realized that there was nothing serious going on.

At that time, I was just hit by a stone. I felt the force and had many bruises and scratches on my body. It was very painful.

But these days, because he was thinking about Jiang Wei, he didn't pay much attention to his injury.

Now, the painful areas no longer ache, and the bruises have gradually disappeared, leaving only faint marks.

I have regained a lot of strength and can move freely. I no longer feel pain in the wound with the slightest movement like when I was just injured.

Looking at his gradually recovering body, Li Yuanji did not feel the slightest joy in his heart.

Jiang Wei was still unconscious and had a high fever. He had no time to be happy about his recovery.

He gently sat down on the bed, reached out and touched Jiang Wei's still hot forehead, frowned tightly, his eyes full of worry and distress: "Jiang Wei, look, I'm almost well, why haven't you woken up yet? You must get better soon, I'm still waiting for you."

The rain was still falling outside the window, and the sound of it seemed like the endless sorrow in Li Yuanji's heart.

He just waited quietly, hoping that Jiang Wei would open his eyes at some point, give him that familiar smile, and he would be able to put down the heavy weight in his heart.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops hit the windowsill heavily, splashing water.

Li Yuanji gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk and go out to find a doctor.

He carefully covered Jiang Wei with a blanket and whispered, "Jiang Wei, you must hold on. I'll go find someone to save you."

As soon as Li Yuanji opened the door, a gust of cold wind mixed with rain blew in his face, and he couldn't help but shiver.

But when he thought of Jiang Wei still suffering in the hospital bed, he took a deep breath and resolutely rushed into the rain.

The streets were deserted, with only the sound of falling rain.

Li Yuanji asked around and finally found a clinic.

Li Yuanji rushed to the clinic in a hurry, but just as he arrived at the door, he saw several people coming in and out, as if they were searching for something.

His heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, "It seems this place is not safe. I can't go to this clinic to see the doctor."

Li Yuanji stood on the street, brows furrowed, thinking rapidly in his mind.

He couldn't leave Jiang Wei alone in the hotel for a long time, but now there was a problem in the clinic again.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go back to the hotel first.

He hurried back to the hotel, opened the door, and saw Jiang Wei still lying quietly on the bed, his breathing weak but steady. Li Yuanji felt relieved: "At least you are safe now." However, he knew that this place was not safe either and it was not advisable to stay there for long.

"Oh, it's not advisable to stay here for long." Li Yuanji said to himself, his eyes full of anxiety.

He thought that Wen Liang had not been heard from since she left, and he didn't know how she was doing now, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

"We can't wait any longer." Li Yuanji gritted his teeth and made a decision secretly, "Why not take Jiang Wei away from here and find a safe place to treat her illness."

He began to pack his things quickly, stuffing some necessary items into his backpack. From time to time, he looked up at Jiang Wei, his eyes full of heartache.

After cleaning up, he walked to the bed, gently picked up Jiang Wei, and tried to make her lie more comfortably: "Jiang Wei, don't be afraid, I will take you away from here, and I will definitely make you better."

Li Yuanji carefully carried the unconscious Jiang Wei downstairs, thinking about the next itinerary in his mind. The first thing to do was to change some money in case of emergency.

He looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he took out two gold pens from his pocket. The pens were heavy and had a faint luster in the dim light.

He approached the innkeeper and whispered, "These two pens can be exchanged for a lot of money, but the current situation is special. I can't let you go to my bank to exchange them. I'm afraid that someone will target you and implicate you. Find a safe place to melt them down and beat them into gold bars. These two pens will definitely be worth a lot of money."

The boss's gaze lingered on the pen for a moment, a light flashed in his eyes, then he nodded and quickly put the pen into his sleeve, his movements skillful and covert.

Then he turned around and rummaged around in the counter for a while, then took out a roll of banknotes and handed it to Li Yuanji. The roll of banknotes contained both whole and small amounts, and it was obvious that it was put together by the boss.

Li Yuanji took the money and carefully put it away. Just as he was about to say thank you, the boss said first: "There is a small car at the door. The driver is an acquaintance. Tell him where you want to go. He will come back after he takes you there."

Li Yuanji looked at his boss gratefully and nodded to show that he understood.

He carried Jiang Wei and walked quickly out of the hotel. When he arrived at the door, he saw an inconspicuous little car parked there.

The owner of the car was a middle-aged man with a calm expression. When he saw Li Yuanji coming out, he nodded slightly.

Li Yuanji gently placed Jiang Wei in the back seat of the car, and then got in himself. He said to the man, "Let's find a safe and secluded place, preferably one with a doctor."

The man started the car without asking any questions and slowly drove away from the hotel.

Li Yuanji leaned back in his seat, looking at the street scenes receding outside the car window, praying silently in his heart, hoping that the journey would be safe and that Jiang Wei would get better soon.

Li Yuanji watched the car driving steadily, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Thinking of the current dangerous situation, although the hotel can be a temporary place to stay, it is still not safe.

He gritted his teeth and decisively said to the middle-aged man who was driving, "No, let's not go to the hotel. Take us directly out of the city and go to the Feng family warehouse in the south."

The middle-aged man heard the order and nodded slightly without any hesitation. He turned the steering wheel with his hands, and the car changed direction and drove towards the road out of the city.

Inside the car, Jiang Wei was still unconscious, lying quietly in the back seat, his face as pale as paper.

Li Yuanji looked down at her from time to time, his eyes full of heartache and worry, and gently held her hand, as if this could give her strength.

The road out of the city was not safe, there were many checkpoints along the way, and Li Yuanji's heart was in his throat.

Every time he reached a checkpoint, he held his breath nervously and secretly observed the movements around him, for fear of being discovered by the enemy.

Fortunately, the middle-aged man was experienced and handled the inspections skillfully, and the car passed each checkpoint smoothly.

As the car got farther and farther away from the city, the scenery on both sides of the road gradually became desolate.

Li Yuanji looked out the window, thinking silently about the Feng family warehouse. That was the only relatively safe place he could think of at the moment. He hoped that after he got there and restored his identity, he would be able to find a way to truly improve Jiang Wei's condition.

Finally, the car drove to the right south, and in a slightly deserted area, a warehouse appeared in front of us.

The middle-aged man parked the car near the warehouse and looked back at Li Yuanji: "We're here." Li Yuanji nodded, gently picked up Jiang Wei, and got out of the car. He turned around and took out some money from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged man: "Thank you, be careful on the way back." The middle-aged man took the money, nodded slightly again, started the car, and soon disappeared at the end of the road.

Li Yuanji held Jiang Wei in his arms, took a deep breath, and walked towards the Feng family warehouse, praying silently in his heart that everything would go smoothly.
