Chapter 43 The upcoming performance
"Found Peter!?"

Gwen's overjoyed voice attracted everyone's attention. Aunt May hurried to Gwen's side, without saying a word, just looking at her expectantly.

Uncle Ben took a few steps and came behind Aunt May, holding her with both hands. Mary Jane stood behind them, not crossing over, but anyone could see the concern in her eyes.

"Harpy found Peter!"

Gwen took the phone and shared the news she had just received with everyone.

"Oh my God." Aunt Mei was so excited when she heard the news that she almost fainted. Fortunately, Ben who was standing behind her supported her.

Ben pointed at Gwen's cell phone. Gwen immediately understood and handed the phone to Ben. Ben took the phone but didn't answer it immediately. Instead, he put it to Mei's ear.

"Happy, I'm Aunt May." Aunt May said with tears in her eyes and a trembling voice.

"Oh, hello, Aunt Mei." Yang Le greeted. "Would you like to hear Peter's voice? He might not be in good condition."

"What's wrong with Peter?" Aunt May's anxious question touched the hearts of everyone present. Uncle Ben simply turned on the speakerphone of his mobile phone.

"Nothing, just a slight concussion."

"How did Peter get a concussion? What happened?" Aunt May asked again.

Faced with Aunt Mei's questions, Yang Le obviously could not tell them the truth, so he could only make up an excuse.

"It's a long story. After I learned from Gwen that Peter was missing, I asked my friends on the street to help find him. You know, those bad guys are very good at doing these things, and they really helped me find some useful information."

Yang Le paused, swallowed and continued.

"I got the news that a short guy wearing glasses was in trouble with a group of bad boys. I guess the guy in trouble was Peter."

"Then I relied on the information to find those bastards. Who knew they said they knocked Peter unconscious and threw him in the trash can. After I taught them a lesson, I found Peter in the trash can. Peter and I are now in New York Hospital."

"Thank God! I'm glad Peter is okay." Aunt May covered her mouth and sobbed slightly. Mary Jane came forward to comfort her.

Gwen scratched her head after seeing this and decided not to steal her best sister's chance to perform.

"Thank you, Happy. Peter is so lucky to have you as a friend." Uncle Ben thanked Yang Le on behalf of Aunt Mei who was crying.

"It's too polite of you to say that, Uncle." Yang Le responded with a smile.

"I am, and I have learned a lot from Peter."

Of course, it is on Peter in the main universe.

When Uncle Ben asked, Yang Le told Uncle Ben the ward number, and Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei would come over to take over taking care of Peter in a while.

After a few pleasantries, Yang Le hung up the phone.

After the call was hung up, the smile in Yang Le's eyes disappeared. He put away the phone and took out the syringe wrapped in a transparent evidence bag from his pocket.

This was found by Yang Le in the warehouse where he found Peter. It must be the thing in this syringe that turned Peter into a lizard man.

Yang Le observed the syringe carefully. Although most of the medicine was injected into Peter's body, there were still a few drops left in the syringe. The green liquid had an indescribable weird feeling under the light.

Of course, Yang Le doesn't want to rely on it to find the murderer like a traditional detective. That is too inefficient. For Yang Le, who has unlocked all the permissions of the Omnitrix, there are more and better ways waiting for him to use.

Putting away the needle, Yang Le sat on a chair in the hospital, quietly waiting for Uncle Ben and the others to arrive.

"So what is the truth?" Gwen leaned close to Yang Le and asked quietly.

"What truth?"

"Don't pretend. Peter definitely wasn't attacked by street thugs like you said on the phone, right?"

"Let's talk about this later?" Yang Le waved his hand and changed the subject.

"Your outfit is well matched today."

Gwen pouted, obviously not satisfied with Yang Le's answer, but she still suppressed her doubts in her heart, ready to go back and get to the bottom of it. After all, she was still living in Yang Le's house.

It’s strange to say, her father had been discharged from the hospital a long time ago and even the house had been renovated, but her father did not ask her to go home. Instead, he allowed her to continue living in Yang Le’s house.

Faced with her father's abnormality, Gwen quickly thought of the time when George left Yang Le alone. She really didn't know what the two of them talked about during that conversation.

Curious Gwen didn't dare to ask George, so she could only ask Yang Le. However, Yang Le always said that he would tell her in a few years. Because of this, Gwen often used her superpowers to tease Yang Le.

The most classic one is hiding in the ceiling and then suddenly jumping down to scare Yang Le. Because it has been used so many times, Yang Le has become somewhat accustomed to it. Even the jump scare in horror games can't scare him anymore.

"Well, Mr. Secret, I hope you're ready for your punishment," Gwen threatened.

Faced with Gwen's threat, Yang Le chose to whistle and pretend not to hear it, because he had already seen the person who could rescue him coming.

"Ahem, please be careful not to flirt in school." Sure enough, the bassist lived up to Yang Le's expectations and launched a fierce attack on Gwen right from the start.

"Hey Betty." Gwen gave Betty an angry look, but Betty just smiled and didn't care at all.

"Okay, Gwen." Mary Jane came over at this time. "It's our turn to go on stage soon, so get ready and stop bothering Happy."

"By the way, are you two really not going to go see Peter?" keyboardist Glory asked from the side.

"I heard he was injured and hospitalized, right?"

"Peter said that we can't let him ruin your days of training, and..." Yang Le took out a video recorder from his bag, shook it and continued.

"Besides, he even asked me to take a video of it, saying how sorry he was that he couldn't come to see your performance in person."

"Oh, of course. The live band performance and the video are completely different," Betty said, tuning her bass. "Those street thugs are truly unforgivable."

"I also hope you try not to mention it in front of Peter." Betty's words made Yang Le feel a little guilty.

Peter has no memory of turning into a lizard man. Because Yang Le hit Peter hard on the head, Peter lost some of his memory again, so even Peter himself thinks that the story Yang Le made up is true.

This feeling of bullying an honest person always made Yang Le feel guilty.

"What's wrong with you, Honey?" Mary Jane looked at Yang Le in confusion. "Why are you sweating so much?"

"It's okay. It's probably because the heating in the backstage is turned on too high." Yang Le wiped the sweat from his forehead and said nonchalantly.
