It was Chen Zhao's first time observing Li Qing so seriously. Li Qing bit her lower lip and hesitated.
"Auntie Li, is there something special about this knot?" Chen Zhao stared at her.
Li Qing thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Chen, I'll make one for you later."
"Auntie Li, this knot is very troublesome, right?"
"Not really. I can make it with some time." Li Qing chuckled. "Oh, Ethan went out to play. He probably won't come back today."
"Did he say where he's going?"
"Then forget it," Chen Zhao said helplessly. "Auntie Li, I'm leaving now."
"Okay, be careful. If … if you encounter something you can't solve, just tell me. I'm not very capable, but I can think of solutions with you."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie Li." Chen Zhao nodded.
Chen Zhao drove, deep in thought. Just then, he received another call.
"Hey, Chen, it's Wright."
"Wright, what's up?"
"Do you have time now?"
"Yes, Wright. Are you not feeling well?"
"Yeah … I'm not sure. I just feel weak," Wright said. "I'm worried … I'm worried that I have motor neuron disease."
Chen Zhao frowned. Motor neuron disease, also known as muscular dystrophy, was also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
It was a very troublesome disease. Currently, it was incurable.
There was a small chance that the cancer could be cured or removed.
However, Lou Gehrig's disease was incurable.
Chen Zhao could only pray that Wright didn't have ALS.
"Wright, have you checked?"
"No … I don't dare to."
There weren't many things that could scare the old woman.
Even when she had cancer, she'd endured it alone.
This meant that she wasn't afraid of death or that she wasn't defeated by cancer.
However, Lou Gehrig's disease made her fearful.
Chen Zhao had seen people with ALS before. It was a terrifying disease.
Many people with ALS would rather die than live like that.
This was good news though. Without a check, it was only a suspicion.
At Wright's age, most of the time, she was scaring herself.
Some geriatric diseases would also make the elderly physically weak. This was a very normal thing.
Chen Zhao went to the supermarket and bought a bottle of red wine. Then, he went straight to UCLA.
When Chen Zhao found Wright, she was in class.
He also saw Diana and Eveleigh in class.
Chen Zhao walked into the classroom silently and found an empty seat to sit down.
When the bell rang, Diana and Eveleigh walked over. Diana was very happy to see him. "Chen, are you here for me?"
"Eh …"
"You also brought red wine? That's great, we can have a candlelit dinner."
"Sorry … I'm not here for you, Bicky," Chen Zhao said helplessly. "I'm here for Wright. This bottle is for Wright too."
By then, Wright had also packed up her textbooks. She looked at Diana and Eveleigh. "Ladies, may I borrow Chen?"
"Fine. Since it's Ms. Wright, I'll quit." Diana smiled. "Chen, remember to find me next time."
Diana waved her hand and left with Eveleigh.
"Let's go to my office," Wright said.
Wright brought Chen Zhao to her office and locked the door from the inside.
"Chen, can you help me check my body?"
Chen Zhao nodded and started checking Wright's body.
"Where do you feel weak?"
"Left arm."
Chen Zhao held Wright's arm. "Hold your arm for a moment."
Chen Zhao reached out and pinched Wright's arm. Wright had been very cooperative.
"What have you been eating recently?"
"A sandwich in the morning and a medium-rare steak in the afternoon …"
"Have you contacted Ethan recently?"
"That * sshole. I don't want to contact him."
Chen Zhao chuckled. "Wright, I can promise you that you don't have ALS."
"Really?" Wright's entire body relaxed.
"Yes. You might be under a lot of pressure recently and have muscle fatigue. If you're worried, you can go to the hospital for a checkup. But the results should be the same as mine."
Chen Zhao knew what Wright had been eating recently. Usually, the early symptoms of ALS were difficulty chewing and swallowing, as well as slurred speech.
However, Wright's eating and talking were all normal.
There were no symptoms at all, so Wright was probably scaring herself.
"Wright, take this bottle of wine back and drink it all at once."
Wright looked at Chen Zhao in confusion. "Please, I have mild hyperglycemia. Do you want me to die? Let me finish the whole bottle of red wine in one go. "
"If you can't drink it, remember to pour it away," Chen Zhao said seriously. "Can you promise me?"
Wright looked at the red wine in her hand. It was probably bought from the supermarket. It was very ordinary.
However, the bottle seemed to have been opened. Wright looked at Chen Zhao. "Is there anything special about this wine?"
"It can make you healthier. If you trust me, do as I say, okay?"
"If I can't drink it, I'll pour it away? Why? "
"To not cause trouble for you and me, don't give it to others."
"Okay." Wright rubbed her forehead. "I've been under a lot of pressure after becoming the principal. I can use this chance to rest."
"You're the principal?" Chen Zhao asked in surprise.
"That's right. Brewster died in an elevator crash in his apartment. In the end, I was elected as the headmaster."
"Should I congratulate you?"
"It's a tough job," Wright said. "Two days ago, two female liars came to make trouble. They said that Brewster hired them as special security consultants and asked the school to pay them $10,000."
"And then?"
"Of course I chased them away," Wright said. "They also said that they would curse me and make me stay in bed forever."
"Uh …" Chen Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I think I know the two liars."
"What? They're your friends? "
"They're my friends, and they're not liars. In fact, I was there when Brewster hired them. Brewster also promised them the $10,000."
"Special security consultants? What kind of safety are they in charge of? "
"You might not believe me, but they're paranormal experts," Chen Zhao said, rubbing his nose.
Chen Zhao rubbed his nose. Wright stared at Chen Zhao as if she had seen a ghost. "Are you serious?"
"Okay, I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. Don't things often happen in your school's abandoned buildings?"
"Yes." Wright nodded.
"They were hired by Brewster to deal with the abandoned school building."
"Chen, are you sure Brewster promised it himself?"
"I can promise you that. It's true."
"They're not liars?"
