Wei Chaocheng was by the bedside, and the two chatted for a while.

Later, Gu Qingtong was exhausted. Wei Chaocheng sat quietly on the chair and watched her before leaving after she fell asleep.

-

In a trance, Gu Qingtong felt that she had slept for days and nights.

When she returned to her awake state, it was already dawn outside the window.

The painkiller was still working, and the pain around her was relieved a lot. Grasping the bed railing, she sat sideways and slowly got out of bed and went to the nurse's station.

When the nurse on duty saw Gu Qingtong, she immediately stepped forward to support her.

"Miss Gu, President Wei has told us that if you have anything to do, please tell us."

Gu Qingtong said: "I just want to ask, have you seen my phone?"

The nurse on duty shook her head: "Mr. Wei and the others sent you to the hospital yesterday. You were covered in blood. Apart from the clothes you were wearing, there were no other personal belongings."

"What day is today?"

"May 20." The nurse on duty blurted out and quickly said with a little shy voice, "Today is a good day to confess, so I remember it very clearly..."

"Thank you, I wish you a successful confession." Gu Qingtong nodded and turned around to go back to the ward.

"Miss Gu wait--" the nurse on duty called her, "Last night, Mr. Wei left a box and asked me to hand it over to you."

"Hmm?" Gu Qingtong took the pink gift box, "Do you know what's inside?"

The nurse on duty covered her mouth and laughed: "You open it and take a look!"

Gu Qingtong weighed the weight, as if it was a small ornament.

"Can it be a ring?" The nurse's curiosity increased instead of reducing. "President Wei is usually serious, but he didn't expect that he is so considerate to his girlfriend?"

"I'm not his girlfriend."

Gu Qingtong did not open the box in front of the nurse.

During the period before Wei Chaocheng came to the hospital, she did not intend to see the true face of the mysterious gift.

The single ward has all the facilities.

After finishing washing, Gu Qingtong recovered 60% to 70% of her strength. She looked at the wall clock on the wall and called the landline of the Jinyang City Crime Team.

The beeping sound in the receiver was long, but no one answered it there.

She had to put down the phone. Since all the old numbers in He Xing's murder case were leaked, all of their personnel changed their new mobile phone numbers.

Gu Qingtong is familiar with the old numbers of colleagues, but the new numbers are so unfamiliar that she can't remember them at all. With her memories, she can only think of a mobile phone number closest to Pan Shaofang.

With the attitude of trying better than not trying, she turned out.

The other party looked angry that his sleep was disturbed: "Hey? Will you let me rest in the morning?"

"Sorry," the sound of electric current interference in the receiver sounded sizzling. Gu Qingtong couldn't tell the other party's identity. She asked the secret code inside the crime team, "Boss Li, when will the dry cleaning shop open?"

"You called the wrong one!"

The other party hung up the phone with a fierce look.

Gu Qingtong temporarily gave up the idea of ​​contacting her colleagues and called her parents instead.

Unexpectedly, Gu Siwei and Yue Wenjuan's cell phones could not be connected. Gu Qingtong was panicked. She called the old house's landline again, but no one answered.

What's going on?

The first thing that the serious crime team is not on duty is that it doesn't make sense. Furthermore, even if the parents' mobile phones are silent, the seats at home are still noisy, so they won't be unable to hear them.

Gu Qingtong's soles softened and she fell on the hospital bed.

The injury made the person's nerves fragile, and the pain of being isolated and abandoned quietly replaced the pain in her body.

After sitting for a while, the hospital's food delivery truck pushed out of the ward door: "Can you come in?"

Gu Qingtong was in a daze and responded subconsciously: "Please come in!"

The deliveryman walked to Gu Qingtong with two large lunch boxes.

"Miss Gu, Mr. Wei has told you to cook the food lighter. You can try it first. If it is not delicious, we will remake it."

"Thank you, this is great, it suits my taste."

After the deliveryman left, Gu Qingtong looked at the variety of dishes and snacks and chose only one bowl of porridge to drink slowly.

My stomach is warm, and I am not so panicked.

She covered the lunch box and walked around the ward back and forth, urging herself not to think randomly, and waited until exactly eight o'clock before returning to the serious crime team office.

-

At 7:50, Gu Qingtong had just walked to the window when Wei Chaocheng came back.

His eyes were covered with red bloodshots, and his suit was still the same as yesterday.

"Junior sister, why are you getting up? Hurry up! Lying back and rest-"

"Senior brother, I'm much better. If you don't believe me, please see?"

Gu Qingtong made a one-arm punch, and Wei Chaocheng was instantly startled.

"Stop!" He ran to her side in three steps, coaxing her back to the hospital bed like caring for a child. "Do you know how many needles you have sewn on your wrist? The wound is broken and it's not a joke!"

Gu Qingtong had to sit back to the hospital bed, but she insisted on sitting and talking to Wei Chaocheng.

"Senior brother, your eyes are very red and you haven't slept all night?"

"I drank too much last night..." Wei Chaocheng yawned, "I was going to come back to accompany you, but I was not careful and chatted with the boss of the Jiang Group until midnight. Now, the banquet ended in dawn!"

"I'm much better." Gu Qingtong vaguely felt Wei Chaocheng's enthusiasm different from usual, "You go and do your business, don't delay in the hospital for too long."

Wei Chaocheng smiled embarrassedly and looked away from her face: "It's not a big deal. There is a VIP suite in the hotel next to the hospital. Before the meeting in the morning, Xiao Qin sent me a set of clothes to change my clothes and wait for me to take a shower later. I'm not afraid of you making fun of it, but I feel at ease when I look at you at such a close distance..."

The two sat face to face, and neither of them continued on the next topic.

At about eight o'clock, the wall clock reported on time. Gu Qingtong quickly picked up the phone and called the office of the Crime Team.

It's still busy, and no one answers.

She said to herself: "Did you all go to handle big cases? Why isn't anyone here?"

"Who did you call?" Wei Chaocheng asked, "Don't worry about Jinyang. I sent you to the hospital yesterday, so I will contact Team Pan and the others immediately."

Gu Qingtong was a little moved, but she didn't want to cry in front of her senior brother.

She tried to control the rushing emotions and said to the truth: "I... am really scared this time."

"I'm afraid too, if you..." Wei Chaocheng knew he was wrong and hurriedly changed the topic, "Captain Pan said he would take the morning flight to pick you up, and your parents would come too."

"Senior brother, thank you." Gu Qingtong stared into Wei Chaocheng's eyes, "Without you, I will definitely be in danger."

Wei Chaocheng reached out and patted Gu Qingtong on the shoulder, and quickly put it back.

"I believe you are a good policeman who can turn disaster into good fortune when encountering trouble. Oh, by the way, Team Pan asked me to tell you that Shi Dong, the colleague who was sitting in the car with you, broke his left hand and it would probably take three months to get a plaster."

"Han Xiao's target is me," Gu Qingtong's eyes were sore, and his eyes suddenly lost focus. "If Xiao Shitou didn't send me home, he wouldn't be injured. I'll implicate him."

Wei Chaocheng whispered: "Look at you, everyone is a brother of the Crime Squad, who has any say that implicates whom?"

"Senior brother..."

"Thinking too much is to hurt your mind. What you need to do the most is to recover your injuries and return to work. Alas, it's a pity that I didn't have the chance to work with you, otherwise I will be the one who protects you this time!"

Gu Qingtong did not look at Wei Chao in opposition, but every word he said came to her.

How could she not notice such a roundabout confession?

Before Wei Chaocheng could say more, the door of the ward was knocked loudly. The nurse on duty said, "Hello, it's time, the director will check the rounds!"

Wei Chaocheng stood up and walked to the door to welcome Director You: "You are here just in time! Please come in quickly-"

Director You smiled and said, "Mr. Wei, you are here too!"

"Help see my junior sister," Wei Chaocheng pulled Director You's arm and pulled it to the hospital bed before stopping. "Is it the drug? I always feel that she is a little overexcited."

The nurse measured Gu Qingtong's body temperature, Director You checked the body according to the procedure, asked a few more questions, and turned his head to ask Wei Chaocheng to relax.

"Mr. Wei, Ms. Gu's condition is stable. As long as the wound on her wrist is properly treated, she should recover soon."

Wei Chaocheng folded his hands together and said piously: "Okay, Director You, I follow the doctor's advice and do 100% as you said!"

"Okay, Miss Gu, take care of me, please contact me any time you have something to do."

Director You smiled meaningfully and said goodbye with the nurse.

"There are so much money these days." Wei Chaocheng moved a chair and sat next to the bed, his tone was full of helplessness. "I remember when I first went to Longyan City to open a company and met Director You when I was treated. His face was stretched and he could hang his belly. Now he was different from the past. He smiled fakely, but at least he was not that bad."

The joke was a little cold, but the haze in Gu Qing's eyes swept away.

"Senior brother, is it hard to start from scratch?"

Wei Chaocheng did not answer immediately. He turned his head and saw the breakfast without moving a few chopsticks. His worried expression returned to his face.

"You can't do this!" He touched the cooled lunch box, "The wounds of hungry stomach cannot heal!"
