In another ward of the hospital, Qin Mujie took off his blood-stained clothes, put on the clothes that Nie Sheng brought for him, and asked, "Have the armed robbers been caught?"
Nie Sheng lowered his head and replied: "Back to Mr. Mu, the police are still investigating. Because there were many people in the hotel at that time, and the robbers pressed the switch in advance, the scene was dark and chaotic, and the group took advantage of the chaos to escape."
His movements paused: "It sounds like he came prepared."
"Hmm..." Nie Sheng nodded: "And the target is most likely Mr. Mu."
Qin Muzhen sneered: "If you have any grudges, just come at me openly, what does it matter if you shoot cold arrows secretly?"
Nie Sheng couldn't help but feel worried: "Master Mu, it's better to be careful in your actions recently. Do you need me to send more bodyguards to protect you?"
"No need." He waved his hand to stop him and said casually: "Which of your bodyguards is better than me? Do you think I stayed in the military camp for so long in vain?"
"My subordinates dare not."
He raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sharp cold light suddenly appeared: "I am curious that the real culprit behind all these things can emerge and have a real battle with me!"
After the two people finished chatting, they opened the door and a young nurse suddenly came over in a hurry: "Are you family members of Ward 217?"
Ward 217? Isn’t it the ward where Su Ruo is?
Qin Muxie nodded: "Yes, what happened?"
"Oh... I wanted to tell you when I came here that the patient has woken up and you can go see her."
A few minutes later, the man opened the door to the ward, and suddenly, a beautiful figure wearing a blue striped hospital gown came into view. Because her shoulder blade was shot, Su Ruo was lying on her side on the bed. When she heard the sound, she used her hand to
He barely propped up half of his body with his elbows and glanced at her uneasily.
The whole face was pale, but only one pair of eyes were big and lively, and there seemed to be water rippling inside them, as if they were silently confiding something all the time.
"Mr. Qin..." His voice was soft and very quiet.
"How are you?" He walked to her bed and sat down, the lines on his too cold face were slightly loose.
She smiled and said very gently: "Fortunately, the doctor said it's just a minor injury and it will be fine after a few days of rest."
I was shot and had to be resuscitated all night, but the injury that almost killed me is still called a minor injury?
Qin Mujue lowered his face and said nothing. After a while, he noticed that the quilt behind her was a little messy, so he stood up and covered her up, and his voice became softer unconsciously.
"Thank you for last night..." he said: "But don't be so impulsive and stupid again in the future. I am a man, and I don't need a weak woman like you to sacrifice your life to save me. It's just a bullet, which is almost nothing to you.
It is fatal, but to me it is just an innocuous skin injury..."
Hearing this, she timidly whispered: "Mr. Qin, do you think Su Ruo is too troublesome?"
"No, I just..." He paused, not knowing how to explain: "Anyway, don't do anything stupid like last night again in the future."
Su Ruo pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, Mr. Qin asked me not to do it, so I won't do it."
******** *******
Outside the ward, Xia Tong, holding the incubator in his hand, retreated silently.
She turned around and looked at the extremely smooth painted wall in front of her, and suddenly felt that something was blocked in her heart and was about to burst out.
She sat on the chair in the corridor and was in a daze.
In fact, what is really scary in this world is not disease and death. In a sense, a person's biggest enemy is herself. Not everyone has the courage to face their own shortcomings calmly.
Selfish.
This was the word Xia Tong thought about all night long last night. Yes, she was very selfish. When she knew that Lin Manru was not dead, she was afraid, afraid that she would suddenly break into her and his originally peaceful life and destroy her.
It turned everything upside down.
So she instinctively concealed and evaded. She concealed Su Ruo's true identity, prevented her from getting close to him, and drove her away from him almost unreasonably.
But, is all this really necessary?
Xia Tong stroked the slight bulge in her lower abdomen, where a lovely little life was gestating. Five years ago, since she could resolutely leave him and start a new life with Xia Guaiguai.
Why, five years later, are you timid?
What does an incomplete and unstable love mean to you?
It's better to let go and live a more free and carefree life.
**************
Thinking of this, Xia Tong opened the door. Seeing her, Su Ruo's eyes flashed with obvious panic. The girl in front of him always knew how to inspire others' protective desire.
Qin Muzhen stood up, with a calm face, walked up and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xia Tong put the thermos box in her hand on the table beside the hospital bed and said, "I just came here to bring some porridge to Su Ruo, and..." She paused and said, "I want to solve some things by the way.
"
Su Ruo glanced at Qin Mujie.
Qin Mujue grabbed Xia Tong and said, "If you have anything to do, let's talk about it when we go home. She just woke up after the operation..."
Xia Tong was slightly stunned. He thought he was here to make trouble? Did he think she wanted to hurt her?
He was actually thinking about her like this?!
Thinking of this, her expression turned cold. She pulled away his hand that was tightly grasping her arm and said, "Qin Mujue, you are wrong. I didn't mean that..."
She walked to the hospital bed, bent down, and asked in a good-natured manner: "Ms. Su, I want to ask you a question, and I hope you can answer it honestly."
Su Ruo bit her lip and nodded: "Yes."
"Why do you sacrifice your life to save my husband in public over and over again? Are you so brave that you even risk your life?"
"……."
"Because you like him? Or -" Xia Tong paused: "Or for some other reason."
"I..." Su Ruo hesitated, her eyes already filled with tears, as if Xia Tong's words in front of her were a rude step-by-step question.
"Okay Xia Tong, stop talking..." Qin Muzhao held her back: "She just woke up and still needs to rest..."
His words were full of partiality. Is he worried about her?
Xia Tong understood. What was originally just a hesitant thought suddenly became as firm as a rock.
Qin Mushi, she smiled softly in her heart, thank you for giving me the courage to make up my mind.
"Answer me." She ignored him and emphasized her tone.
Su Ruo bit her lip and finally spoke, but what she said stunned the two people present.
