Rong Heng had been standing there for nearly an hour.
The ashtray in the car was already piled with several cigarette butts.
Another cigarette burned to the end. When Rong Heng wanted to get a cigarette again, he opened the cigarette box, only to find that it was empty.
As a policeman, he was good in other aspects. What Mrs. Rong was most dissatisfied with was that once he got involved in a case, he lost control and smoked one cigarette after another.
For this matter, Mrs. Rong thought of many ways overtly and secretly. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to control himself. In order to prevent himself from having more than five cigarettes a day, he only put five cigarettes in each cigarette box.
One box a day.
It was now one o'clock in the morning, but he had already burned through his quota for the day.
Rong Heng rubbed the cigarette case and threw it into the car. After pausing for a moment, he suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
What is he doing standing here in the middle of the night?
If it was for a case, and Lu Yuan was a party to the case, and he wanted to ask her for a confession and investigate the case, he could come back during the day.
And if her hand was injured due to his negligence, he could show his concern in a polite and humanitarian way, and he could come back during the day.
So, at this moment, why bother?
Thinking of this, Rong Heng quickly rubbed his face, opened the door and got into the car, ready to leave.
He started the car, turned around, and was about to drive towards the exit when he suddenly stepped on the brakes.
He originally just wanted to take another look at the inpatient building, but across the flower stand next to the car, he saw a person sitting on a bench under the shade of a tree not far away.
The inpatient department was very quiet late at night, with almost no pedestrians visible, but she sat there quietly, motionless, as if she didn't exist.
But if she didn't exist, what was he seeing?
With such good moonlight, the clouds in the sky were clearly visible. She sat there, but just looked down at her hand hanging on her chest, like a sculpture.
As long as she sat there frozen, Rong Heng sat in the car and watched her.
It wasn't until someone suddenly knocked on his passenger window that Rong Heng suddenly came back to his senses.
Turning around, he saw the hospital security guard standing next to his car, looking at him with a frown, "Sir, you can't park here, please drive away."
The night was too quiet, the surrounding space was empty, and the security guard's voice was scattered in all directions, but inexplicably carried far away.
When he realized this, Rong Heng looked at Lu Yuan's position again, but saw that she finally moved and raised her eyes to look this way.
The moonlight was bright, dimming the street lights, but it seemed like light was shining directly on the car and the people sitting in the car.
Or maybe the person in the car carries light himself.
In short, when Lu Yuan raised his eyes, he could see Rong Heng clearly in the car at a glance.
The air seemed to be stagnant for a moment, but the pain in her wrist clearly told her that this was not a dream.
Lu Yuan came back to her senses and subconsciously avoided his sight. Then she immediately stood up, turned around and walked towards the hospital building.
She walked too fast, her steps were messy, and her hanging arms seemed to affect her balance. When she walked quickly to the steps, Lu Yuan suddenly fell.
Before Rong Heng could recover, his body had already moved.
By the time he ran behind Lu Yuan, the bodyguards hiding in the dark had already helped Lu Yuan up.
Lu Yuan clearly heard the approaching footsteps behind him, hurriedly broke away from the bodyguard beside him, and left in a hurry.
"Miss Lu, you haven't put on your shoes yet—"
The people around her refused to let her go, but the footsteps behind her were approaching step by step until she stood at the nearest position.
Lu Yuan suddenly calmed down.
She lowered her head and looked at the slippers that she had thrown away. After putting them on again little by little, she said in a low voice: "I'm sorry."
The bodyguards all knew Rong Heng, and when they saw the way he looked at Lu Yuan, they immediately moved away calmly.
Lu Yuan still just stood with his back to Rong Heng, his head lowered, as if he was really sorry to the extreme, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you would be there, I should have avoided it more thoroughly... I'm sorry
…”
She kept apologizing, but Rong Heng's face became increasingly ugly.
It wasn't until she finally stopped apologizing that Rong Heng finally spoke: "I accidentally pulled your injured hand at the crime scene today and injured you a second time. It's me who should say I'm sorry."
Lu Yuan paused for a moment, then shook his head gently, "It was you who saved me, and I was fine. Otherwise, more than one hand would be injured now. What's more, this hand was injured in the first place, and it had nothing to do with you."
Rong Heng looked at her back, and after a moment, he said slowly: "I should politely ask, is your hand okay?"
"It's okay." Lu Yuan said, "There is a slight fracture. The doctor said that I can recover quickly with a minor operation."
When he heard about the fracture and surgery, Rong Heng paused for a moment. The next moment, he just said: "That's good. Regarding this case, my colleague will come back to record a statement with you tomorrow."
"Okay, I will cooperate." Lu Yuan said.
From beginning to end, she never looked back at him.
Rong Heng nodded slowly, and finally just said: "Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Lu Yuan replied to him, as if he had been relieved, he finally walked quickly towards the elevator.
Rong Heng watched her figure disappear at the other end, and finally turned his head. When he was about to leave, he stopped a bodyguard and said, "Do you have any cigarettes? Lend me one."
The other party quickly took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette and handed it to him.
Rong Heng dug through his pockets and found that the lighter was left in the car. Seeing that he couldn't find the lighter, the bodyguard followed him outside the building and took out the lighter to light his cigarette.
"Thank you." Rong Heng said, and then subconsciously asked, "Is everything okay?"
"No...it's just that Miss Lu is not feeling well." The bodyguard replied, "My wife told us to keep a close eye on her."
Rong Heng couldn't help but glance at him, "Isn't it just a minor operation?"
"It's said to be a minor operation, but the injury seems to be quite serious. I may not be able to fully recover after the operation. It is said that it may also affect my work——"
Rong Heng paused suddenly and took the cigarette out of his mouth, "Isn't it a slight fracture?"
"No," the bodyguard said, "Miss Lu's hand was seriously injured."
The scene during the day suddenly appeared in Rong Heng's mind——
That was the scene where he dropped her hand heavily and accidentally pushed her down on the stairs.
Did she seriously hurt her hand when she fell?
The next moment, Rong Heng put out his cigarette butts, turned around and walked into the hospital building again.
When he arrived at Lu Yuan's ward, the door was open, but there was no one inside.
"Where are the people?" Rong Heng asked the bodyguard at the door.
"Ms. Lu is not feeling well. She is in the bathroom. The nurse is going to find the doctor on duty, and Aunt Zhang is going to make food for her," the bodyguard replied.
After hearing this, Rong Heng walked into the ward and walked to the bathroom door unconsciously.
In fact, he knew exactly what he wanted to do.
Her hand was injured the first time because he deliberately made things difficult for her on the phone, and the second time because he was careless and pushed her hard.
And this injury is likely to affect her for the rest of her life.
Rong Heng suddenly remembered the window in her studio, the window that was bright even in the middle of the night and early in the morning.
She should... care about her job, right?
That's why she was looking at her hands down there just now.
What are you thinking about?
Rong Heng's body was a little stiff, and he raised his hand involuntarily, as if he wanted to knock on the door, but paused.
He was stunned there until an inaudible sob came from the bathroom, and he suddenly came to his senses and pushed open the door.
