However, on the second day of Mr. Hu's arrival, news finally came from Liu Rui, in the form of a phone call. Hearing Liu Rui's voice on the other end, Hu Jingtang was so excited that he was at a loss for words, and it took him a while to find his voice.

At this point, Xiao Yifei was also beside Mr. Hu. Hearing Liu Rui on the phone, he immediately felt relieved. This also meant that Liu Rui had successfully gotten out, otherwise he wouldn't be calling Hu Jingtang, so Xiao Yifei finally breathed a big sigh of relief.

Liu Rui on the other end of the phone said he had been released from prison and was now coming to find Xiao Yifei and them. After saying this, he hung up the phone without waiting for Hu Jingtang to speak.

Putting down the phone, Hu Jingtang slowly exhaled and sighed, saying, "Ah, he's finally out."

Then, Hu Jingtang turned to look at Xiao Yifei, "Xiao Yifei, I really must thank you." Hearing this, Xiao Yifei quickly waved his hand and said, "No trouble, no trouble."

"Mr. Hu, I'll go make some medicine for you. You rest here for now." Saying this, Xiao Yifei turned and walked out of the room. Upon exiting, he ran into Liu Sisi, who was coming with the medicine for Xiao Yifei. These days, Liu Sisi had also been quite worried about Mr. Hu and Liu Rui, with dark circles almost visible around her eyes.

"Give it to me, you go and rest for a bit." Xiao Yifei took the herbs from Liu Sisi's hands and said caringly. Since Liu Sisi had been walking with her head down, she didn't notice Xiao Yifei, who was much taller than her.

Upon hearing this voice, she suddenly lifted her head and, in a daze, handed the herbs to Xiao Yifei. But upon hearing Xiao Yifei tell her to rest, a bit of melancholy appeared on Liu Sisi's face.

Xiao Yifei naturally understood what Liu Sisi was thinking. This girl was definitely still worried about her brother. So, Xiao Yifei lightly tapped Liu Sisi on the head and said, "Go and rest, don't think about your brother anymore. Your brother is already out."

Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi's eyes widened. She had been running around these days, just wishing for her brother to get out sooner, so upon hearing this news, she immediately became happy, even incredulously asking if it was true.

Seeing Liu Sisi in this manner, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but find it amusing, "It's true!" With that, Xiao Yifei carried the medicine toward the kitchen.

Watching Xiao Yifei's back, Liu Sisi absentmindedly touched her head, only then realizing it seemed to have been tapped by someone, feeling a bit sore, but more importantly, she thought of the fact that her brother was finally out.

She sprinted back to her room, most likely planning to have a good rest.

"Grandpa, I'm back!" Just as Hu Jingtang was wondering when Liu Rui would arrive, the door to his room suddenly swung open, and the person at the door was none other than Liu Rui, who had been released from prison. He had found the place entirely because of Qianxi's guidance.

Sitting on the bed, Hu Jingtang saw Liu Rui standing at the door, and his nose suddenly tingled with emotion. At last, he had finally awaited Liu Rui's return, Hu Jingtang thought to himself.

But given that Hu Jingtang was an elder, facing a younger generation, he naturally didn't want to just burst into tears. So, Hu Jingtang kept a stern face, looked at Liu Rui, and feigned anger, saying, "Hmph, you still know how to make your way home!"

Seeing this, Liu Rui also understood that Hu Jingtang was just reprimanding him for the sake of saving face and didn't mean it seriously. Hence, he quickly knelt beside Hu Jingtang, lowered his head, and said, "Yes, Rui'er knows he was wrong. Rui'er shouldn't have been so reckless, making Grandpa worry. It was Rui'er's fault."

Hearing Liu Rui's words, Hu Jingtang nodded, "As long as you know you're wrong." After saying this, he urged Liu Rui to get up quickly, hurriedly asking if he had been wronged in prison while still feeling distressed for this precious grandson.

At this moment, Liu Sisi also heard the noise of Liu Rui's return and quickly came to Hu Jingtang's room. Seeing Liu Rui standing intact in front of her, she couldn't help but rush forward and hug Liu Rui, crying.

"Alright, alright, your brother is back, isn't he?" Liu Rui, a bit exasperated, comforted Liu Sisi, and after much speaking, finally managed to calm Liu Sisi down.

"Brother, are you okay? We were all so worried." Liu Sisi rubbed her tearful red eyes and asked. Hearing this, Liu Rui smiled, "I'm fine, you see, I'm back, aren't I?" Saying this, Liu Rui patted his own body to indicate that he hadn't suffered much.

"Mm." Seeing Liu Rui like this, Liu Sisi couldn't help but burst out laughing and nodded.

"Alright, alright, it's good that you're back." Hu Jingtang said, coughing twice in the process. Hearing Hu Jingtang's voice, Liu Rui immediately felt something was wrong, so he asked, "Grandpa, what's this?"

Upon hearing Liu Rui's question, Hu Jingtang also realized that Liu Rui had heard the unusual tone in his voice. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Sisi suddenly said, "Isn't it because of you, Grandpa was so worried he relapsed."

Hearing this, Liu Rui finally understood why Hu Jingtang and the others had come to Beijing. Realizing it was because of him, Liu Rui also felt a bit guilty and lowered his head.

"Hey, my ailment is no big deal, isn't Xiao Yifei around?" Seeing Liu Rui somewhat blaming himself, Hu Jingtang hurriedly comforted him. "However, you must thank Xiao Yifei properly later. If it weren't for him, you might not have known when you would get out. Besides, he has been running around for my ailment these days; it's been a real toil to witness." Hu Jingtang said sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Liu Rui quickly nodded.

"I was wondering why my nose felt itchy, turns out you were talking about me." Xiao Yifei stood at the door with a freshly brewed pot of Chinese medicine, smiling as he spoke.

Upon hearing this voice, everyone naturally turned their attention to Xiao Yifei at the doorway. Seeing him smile and walk in, placing the medicine gently on the table beside Hu Jingtang's bed, then turning toward Liu Rui, "You're back!" Xiao Yifei smiled.

Hearing this, Liu Rui was startled for a moment, then nodded, also smiling toward Xiao Yifei, "I'm back."

"It's good to have you back." Xiao Yifei smiled, nodded, asked about Old Hua's situation, and then turned the conversation toward Liu Rui. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Rui opened his mouth first.

"Xiao Yifei, thank you!" Liu Rui scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and spoke, hearing this, Xiao Yifei smiled, waved his hand, then patted Liu Rui on the shoulder and said, "No need to thank me, we're brothers."

Listening to Xiao Yifei's words, Liu Rui felt warmth in his heart, almost wanting to cry, but in front of so many people, he held it back.

"By the way, who brought you back?" Xiao Yifei asked. Hearing Xiao Yifei's question, Liu Rui felt a bit uncomfortable, given that he had agreed to that woman's terms, in a way selling out his own dignity for freedom. So when asked by Xiao Yifei, Liu Rui's reaction was as such.

"Uh, it was someone named Qianxi who brought me out." Liu Rui didn't elaborate, simply stating it this way. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei nodded thoughtfully and didn't continue to ask much. But at this moment, Hu Jingtang spoke up, "We should really thank her." Saying this, Hu Jingtang supported himself with Xiao Yifei's hand to sit up.
