After a long time, Huo Jinxi heard her hoarse voice again: "It's all over, isn't it?"
Huo Jinxi didn't answer anything, but stretched out his hand to touch her head, and then said: "After the examination, go back to the hotel to rest. Qi Ran is still waiting for your call."
Mu Qian's body froze for a moment, then she slowly raised her head and reached out to touch the phone on Huo Jinxi's body, "I'll call him now."
"No." Huo Jinxi reached out and took back the phone, "You have to go back to the hotel, take a hot bath, and then call him when your complexion recovers."
After hearing this, Mu Qian raised her eyes and looked at him for a long time, and finally nodded.
The subsequent examination was completed quickly, and the results proved that Mu Qian's exhaustion was not a serious problem, and the child in her belly was not affected in any way.
After the examination, Huo Jinxi took Mu Qian back to the hotel.
The hotel room that had been prepared early in the morning was warm and comfortable, and a tank of hot water had been put in even before they arrived at the hotel.
Mu Qian stood in the bathroom and let Huo Jinxi help her take off her clothes, then slowly put her into the water.
"Don't soak for too long." Huo Jinxi said, "Fifteen minutes."
Mu Qian responded, but still held on to his hand. She tilted her head slightly and rested her head on the back of his hand.
Huo Jinxi sat next to the bathtub and looked at her. When she didn't move, he didn't move either.
It wasn't until fifteen minutes passed and Huo Jinxi reached out to take Mu Qian out of the bathtub that he realized that she had fallen asleep.
He lowered his head and gently brushed the wet hair between her brows, but Mu Qian was instantly awakened.
She only slept for about ten minutes. When she opened her eyes again, confusion and panic flashed across her eyes.
Huo Jinxi could see it clearly, so he just held her hand tightly and said, "It's me."
"I know, I know..." Mu Qian murmured in reply twice. When she came to her senses, she remembered something again, "Give me your cell phone. I want to call Qi Ran."
Huo Jinxi glanced at her again, then turned on his mobile phone, made a video call, and handed the mobile phone to her.
Mu Qian held the phone in her wet hands. After a few rings, Huo Qiran's childish face suddenly appeared on the screen.
As if he didn't expect that the person on the other end of the phone would be Mu Qian, Huo Qiran's eyes widened instantly and he screamed: "Mom!"
Hearing this sound, Mu Qian was stunned for a moment, then tears suddenly fell unexpectedly.
"Mom!" Huo Qiran on the other end panicked instantly, "Why are you crying?"
"It's okay." Mu Qian quickly wiped away her tears and whispered, "Mom has been out for two days and I miss you."
"I miss you too." Huo Qiran curled her lips aggrievedly and said, "But you and dad don't take me with you when you go out..."
Mu Qian struggled to smile, and then said: "Not anymore. From now on, mom will never go out without telling you, let alone leave you alone again..."
"Uh-huh." Huo Qiran responded twice, and then said, "When will mom come back?"
"Tomorrow." Mu Qian said, "Mom will be back tomorrow."
"Great!" Huo Qiran couldn't help but cheer.
Mu Qian looked at him quietly, lowered her eyes slightly, and finally her eyes became wet again.
Huo Jinxi stood up and walked to the side, took a large bath towel, opened his hands, and hugged her into his arms again.
That night, the call between Mu Qian and Huo Qiran continued uninterrupted——
Even though Huo Qiran had fallen asleep, the phone was still connected.
She listened to the breathing coming from the other end of the phone and leaned in Huo Jinxi's arms, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
…
At around 4 a.m., two cars with Tongcheng license plates drove into the hotel parking lot.
After turning off the engine, several police officers got out of the car and walked toward the lobby together.
"I haven't experienced such intense case handling in many years." Old Wu said while rubbing his waist, "In just a few hours, I have done as much as I did in the past two or three days!"
"The case was originally a big one, and it also involved Mrs. Huo. Someone here wanted to take credit for creating such a dangerous situation. Mr. Huo was so furious that he went directly to the top leader's office to find someone and asked them to hand over the person responsible.
, how dare they slack off." One of the police officers said, "It would be better if this case is settled early. If it is settled early, our sister-in-law can also get Lu Yuchuan's body back soon..."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly bumped into him from behind.
The police officer turned around and saw Rong Heng coming up from behind. He quickly stopped talking and said, "Boss, are you still sleeping in the same room as Lao Wu today?"
"You're the only one who talks too much!" Old Wu kicked him hard, "You can sleep on the bed if it's for you. You've been tired for two days and two nights. How can you have so much free time to worry about others."
The police officer once again realized that he had made a mistake and immediately did not dare to say another word.
Rong Heng ignored them, rubbed his brows, and walked straight into the lobby.
A group of police officers went to the front desk to get their room keys, while Rong Heng went directly to the elevator.
After arriving at the door of Lu Yuan's room, Rong Heng hesitated for a moment before reaching out and knocking on the door.
Unexpectedly, he knocked lightly and the door quickly opened.
Lu Yuan was fully clothed, and his eyes were still bloodshot, obviously he hadn't slept yet.
"Didn't I tell you to sleep for a while first?" Rong Heng couldn't help but frown and asked.
"I couldn't sleep." Lu Yuan said, "I was afraid of something unexpected happening, so I just didn't sleep."
After saying that, she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him again, as if she wanted to ask something, but didn't know how to ask.
Of course Rong Heng knew what she was going to ask. Even though he was full of worries, he still had to say: "I... asked them to arrange the corpse identification process. If you want to go, you can go and see..."
Upon hearing these words, Lu Yuan's eyes turned red instantly, and he cried almost uncontrollably.
Rong Heng immediately reached out and took her into his arms. Just when he was about to say something else, Lu Yuan quickly wiped away her tears and looked up at him: "When can we go?"
Rong Heng paused, looked at her again, and then finally said: "Any time."
"Now...is that okay?" Lu Yuan suddenly stretched out her hand and gently grabbed his sleeve.
Rong Heng had guessed this answer early on. Hearing this, he just sighed slightly, then held her hand and turned around and walked out.
A few minutes later, Rong Heng's car, which had been parked in the parking lot for a short time, started again and drove towards the city bureau again.
…
At six o'clock in the morning, after Mu Qian got up and went to the bathroom, she never returned to bed. Instead, she sat on the sofa by the window and was lost in thought.
Huo Jinxi quickly got up and walked over, putting a bathrobe on her.
Mu Qian opened the curtains and looked at the sky outside. After a while, she asked, "Will Yuanyuan go back with us?"
"Even if she doesn't go back for the time being, Rong Heng will still take care of her." Huo Jinxi said, "You can rest assured."
After hearing this, Mu Qian's eyes couldn't help but flicker.
