Xie Qingying's surgery was very successful. However, after the surgery, the anesthetic had worn off, and her shoulder was burning with pain, waking her up.
The doctor also gave her a prescription for painkillers to make her feel better.
Lying on the hospital bed, Xie Qingying, who had been excited all day, finally felt sleepy and wanted to sleep under the effect of the powerful painkillers.
At this time, the door of her ward was pushed open, and a tall, thin figure quickly rushed to the side of her bed.
Xie Qingying's eyelashes fluttered, and her heart tightened. She thought that the kidnappers would not let her go and had come to the hospital again.
However, when he opened his eyes, he saw a tall, unprepossessing middle-aged man.
He looked a little familiar.
Xie Qingying blinked and quickly remembered that this was Lu Jin, the major shareholder of the Lu Corporation.
This person's looks were average, and he didn't speak much. He was a very low-key person.
Why is he here?
Xie Qingying tried her best to sit up from the hospital bed. Before she could say anything, Lu Jin had already asked, "You invited Gu Nianzhi to your company, and then she was kidnapped. How could you still be sleeping here?! Doesn't your conscience hurt?! "
Xie Qingying: "…"
Where did this lunatic come from?!
Xie Qingying's expression changed.
She had thought that he was here to check on her injuries, but it turned out that he was here to help Gu Nianzhi?
Xie Qingying suppressed her anger and frowned slightly. "Mr. Lu, how can you say that? I'm also very upset that Nianzhi is missing. But I can't do anything about it. Chasing the thief is the police's job, and I'm injured. I can't do it even if I want to. "
Lu Jin's gaze lingered on the bandage on Xie Qingying's shoulder for a moment. He snorted softly. "You're not dead. Hurry up and tell me what happened to Gu Nianzhi. How did she disappear? You better tell me everything clearly without missing a single word, or else I'll teach you a lesson! "
"Do you believe that I'll get rid of all the fans that you've gained recently?"
Xie Qingying was so angry at Lu Jin's words that she coughed violently.
"What's your relationship with Nianzhi? Do you need to care about her? "Xie Qingying covered her chest and said coldly," I've already told the police what I need to say. I have no obligation to repeat myself. Please leave, I want to rest. "
"Why do you care what my relationship with Gu Nianzhi is? She's my friend, and even I, an outsider, am panicking when something happens to my friend. How can you be so calm and distinguish between a police officer and an outsider? I suspect that you conspired with someone to kidnap Gu Nianzhi! "
Lu Jin saw that Xie Qingying was unwilling to tell him the truth, so he was also angry. He scolded Xie Qingying.
Xie Qingying was also angry. Ignoring the pain from the wound on her shoulder, she shouted, "I conspired with someone?! I conspired with someone and was almost violated?! I conspired with someone and got shot?! Mr. Lu, can you use your brain before you speak?! "
"Haven't I thought about it?" Lu Jin clenched his fists. He was so anxious that he was about to die. "Do you know the trick of injuring yourself to gain the confidence of others? Were you assaulted? Did you get shot and die?! I don't think so! This is the trick of injuring oneself to gain the confidence of others! "
"Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'll really call the police. " Lu Jin took out his phone and deliberately provoked Xie Qingying. "I can testify that you conspired with someone to kidnap Gu Nianzhi. Because she's the woman you like the most loved by the man you like, you were dissatisfied and wanted her to disappear, so you conspired with someone to kidnap her!"
His words were reasonable. If Xie Qingying wasn't the person involved, she would have almost believed him.
At that moment, she even felt a sense of panic.
Would He Zhichu think the same?!
His attitude just now seemed a little perfunctory?
Xie Qingying suppressed her discomfort and grievance. She took a deep breath and slowly leaned against the hospital bed. She said in a low voice, "You have to have evidence to speak. From the beginning to the end, Nianzhi was the one who contacted me first. She was also the one who wanted to see the original copy of the information. I wanted to show her the scanned copy, but she refused. "
"Later, I suggested asking her if she wanted to go to my company. After I went there, I was in a meeting, and she was in another room looking at the information. "
"Later, I was plotted against. Someone worked together from the inside and outside to capture me and interrogate me about where Nianzhi was hiding."
"I didn't say a word until they were about to … Nianzhi couldn't take it anymore, so she pulled out her gun and saved me …"
When Lu Jin heard this, he quickly said, "And then? She saved you, but what did you do?! Why didn't you get help?! "
"There was a power outage in the entire building. We were on the 18th floor, and the elevator couldn't be used. There was no signal on my phone, and it was out of battery. I wanted to call the police, but even the alarm was out of battery. "
Lu Jin pondered. The power outage, the phone no signal, and even the phone no power. Could it be that the other party used a high-powered grenade magnetic storm gun?
"… What else?" He continued to ask Xie Qingying.
"Also, I was dragged to the room where Nianzhi was hiding. They wanted to rape me," Xie Qingying said with a straight face. "Nianzhi stopped them and killed them all."
"Killed them all?! Where's Nianzhi?! "Lu Jin raised his voice." Why is she missing again?! "
She covered her face with her hands. "Nianzhi saved me. I moved the table over and asked her to jump down from the groove in the ceiling. But just as she jumped down, five more men rushed in."
"These people are much more ferocious than the previous five …"
They fired decisively and hit Xie Qingying. Then, they knocked Gu Nianzhi out and took her away.
Xie Qingying finally cried after she finished speaking. "… Who exactly did Nianzhi offend? Why did those people do this to her? "
"There were five more people?!" Lu Jin finally understood that it wasn't a simple kidnapping case. With Xie Qingying's abilities, she wouldn't be able to find the five ruthless kidnappers.
From her description, the other party's skills had already reached the level of an elite mercenary. They were also the type of mercenaries who were especially ferocious and good at assassination.
It shouldn't have anything to do with her.
But even so, in Lu Jin's heart, Xie Qingying still couldn't escape the blame.
So he continued to pester her. "Who did she offend? Didn't she just offend you? You're the Prime Minister's niece, the daughter of the Xie family. She's just an ordinary orphan girl with no parents. If you wanted her to die, would she be able to live past tomorrow? "
"I didn't!" Xie Qingying was so angry that her face turned pale. Her breathing was rapid, and her heart was beating violently. She was about to go into shock. "I don't like her, but that's a different matter! If I don't like someone, I want her to die? Murder is a felony! I'm not that crazy! "
"Besides, what grudge does she have with me? She clearly has more grudges with the Qin family! "
At this point, Xie Qingying suddenly narrowed her eyes. "… What role does the Lu Corporation play in this? Someone told me that you used the name of the network security company to secretly install a backdoor into the Qin Corporation's intranet and even hacked into someone else's system to download internal financial documents. — Why did you suddenly get dragged in? "
Lu Jin clenched his fists and his knuckles cracked. "Being able to think of this means you're not stupid."
He didn't say anything else. He turned around, pushed open the door, and left like a whirlwind.
The two people he had brought with him stood guard at the door like door gods, not letting anyone in.
After Lu Jin left, the nurse outside came in to comfort Xie Qingying and apologize to her for breaking into the ward.
Xie Qingying, however, couldn't sleep anymore.
She thought about what had happened recently, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
Just then, her father, Xie Dezhao, pushed open the door and came in. He frowned and said, "Who was that person just now? He was so aggressive in the elevator and kept glaring at me. "
Xie Qingying: "…"
"Was it a tall, thin, and average-looking man?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
"That person is a major shareholder of the Lu Corporation. He even questioned me just now."
Xie Qingying smiled bitterly.
However, as a major shareholder of a listed company, the content of the questioning was not related to her revelations, but to an "ordinary friend". It was really puzzling.
Xie Qingying searched the hospital bed.
"What are you looking for?"
"My phone." Xie Qingying remembered that her phone seemed to have run out of battery in an instant.
Later, when she was sent to the hospital, no one should have charged her phone, right?
Xie Dezhao took out his phone, and it just happened to ring.
He looked at it and handed it to Xie Qingying. "It's your mommy."
Xie Qingying's mother, Gu Tian, had been abroad recently to attend an art exhibition and had just received the news that Xie Qingying was injured.
Xie Qingying quickly took the phone. "Mommy, I'm fine."
On the other end of the phone, Gu Tian said anxiously, "How can you be fine? Your dad said it was a gunshot wound! How can a gunshot wound be fine?! "
"Wait for me, I'll buy a plane ticket back to China right away!"
Xie Qingying comforted her mother a little more before hanging up.
She then said to Xie Dezhao, "Dad, I'm hungry. Can you buy me a bowl of Ou Ji's congee with pork and century egg?"
Ou Ji's congee with pork and century egg was in the Fourth Ring Road. It would definitely take Xie Dezhao a lot of time to buy it.
After sending Xie Dezhao away, Xie Qingying called He Zhichu.
..
He Zhichu had come out of the hospital and gone to the military's central network system department. He was there, monitoring the imperial capital's channels and receiving instant messages at any time.
When Xie Qingying called, he had just finished setting up all the checkpoints in the city.
Seeing that it was Xie Qingying calling, He Zhichu picked up the phone.
"Qingying, what's the matter?" He Zhichu's cold voice came from the phone. It was slightly hoarse.
Xie Qingying's heart instantly softened. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Young Master He, what exactly is Nianzhi's identity? Why did those people use such a big force to deal with her? What is her relationship with the Lu Corporation? "
He Zhichu: "…"
Xie Qingying relied on her reporter's intuition and eloquence to ask, "From the moment I received the news to the moment I published it as the headline news, causing the Lu Corporation's stock to plummet, and then Nianzhi came to me, was this series of events continuous?"
"The person who exposed me wasn't the Qin Private Hospital Group, nor was it the Lu Corporation. It was Gu Nianzhi, right?!"
"Is this informant the mastermind behind this?!"
"What grudge does he have with Nianzhi? Why did he go through so much trouble to kidnap her? "
"What is it about Nianzhi that the other party is willing to pay any price to plot against her?"
He Zhichu didn't speak for a long time.
To be honest, Xie Qingying had indeed been caught in the crossfire this time.
Moreover, she knew nothing about their complicated situation. She was like an outsider who had suddenly been pulled into the circle, but her eyes were still covered by a layer of fog. She couldn't see the waves under the surface.
He Zhichu said apologetically, "Don't worry about it. I'll deal with Nianzhi's matter. Rest well and don't let your imagination run wild. "
"I'm not letting my imagination run wild." Xie Qingying hated He Zhichu's tone the most.
She could tell now that He Zhichu was hiding many things from her, and he was blaming her for letting her imagination run wild?!
"If you don't tell me, won't I investigate it myself?" Xie Qingying said stubbornly, "Besides, we're lovers. Shouldn't lovers be honest with each other? Young Master He, what other concerns do you have about me? Would I not be on your side? "
"Would you?" He Zhichu calmed down. "When you received the news, you didn't hesitate to expose it."
"… Are you blaming me?" Xie Qingying's heart turned cold. Gu Nianzhi was right.
She took a deep breath, and her heart tightened. It was as if someone was strangling her and stuffing pebbles into her throat.
Her chest and stomach were heavy, and the wound on her shoulder hurt even more.
Xie Qingying panted slightly, and her eyes were red. "If you had told me everything earlier, I wouldn't have done such a thing."
"How would I have known that the Lu Corporation was so close to Nianzhi!"
"How would I have known that their target was actually Nianzhi! If you had known, you should have warned me to avoid these traps! "
She really couldn't be blamed for all of this.
However, he wouldn't tell Xie Qingying everything. It was completely impossible.
He Zhichu rubbed his temples with a headache. "You know now? That's enough. Don't say I didn't remind you this time. Don't worry about this anymore. Even if you're a reporter. "
"You'll interfere with official business and affect our rescue of Nianzhi."
"If you still remember that Nianzhi saved your life, then show mercy. Don't try to use her to stir up news again."
Xie Qingying's expression turned completely cold. "Young Master He, in your heart, am I such a person who has no principles and no bottom line?! Even my savior is used to stir up news?! You're questioning my professional ethics and character! "
"I'm asking you for details because I want to know the truth so that I won't make the same mistake again."
"Besides, everyone knows that you're with me now, so the other party even used me this time."
"You're still hiding it from me. Do you think I'm a superman who can see through the ulterior motives and conspiracies behind every incident?"
He Zhichu had nothing to say in the face of Xie Qingying's questioning.
He looked at his watch. "Qingying, you've already wasted ten minutes of my time saving Nianzhi. Can you wait until Nianzhi returns safely before I answer your questions? "
"During this time, can you promise me that you won't report anything related to Nianzhi?"
"Okay." Xie Qingying's mood improved a little when she heard He Zhichu's words. She only needed a simple promise from the person she liked.
"I promise you that before Nianzhi is rescued, I won't report anything related to her. Also, I will supervise my colleagues and not let them leak anything."
"Okay, take care of yourself. Don't work so hard." He Zhichu's tone softened a little.
After putting down the phone, He Zhichu threw himself back into his intense work.
He had been busy for almost the entire night, but when it was almost dawn, another piece of news came.
"Young Master He! There was a sudden fire in our lab! After the fire was extinguished, Qin Yaoguang disappeared! "
He Zhichu raised his head and asked coldly, "What did you say? Who disappeared? "
"Qin … Qin Yaoguang!" His personal secretary mustered up her courage and said, "She was originally tied to the lab bench for experiments, but … but the lab next door suddenly caught fire, so everyone evacuated."
"When the fire was lifted and the experimenters returned, they found that Qin Yaoguang had disappeared from the lab bench!"
"Our people quickly investigated and found that someone had taken advantage of the fire to kidnap Qin Yaoguang from the lab bench and headed south!"
He Zhichu slammed his fist on the computer console in front of him. "Qin Baoye! It must have been Qin Baoye! Pass down my orders to speed up the search on the sea, land, and air, especially the vehicles and pedestrians heading south. Don't let a single one of them go! "
Qin Baoye was already on their wanted list, and now Qin Yaoguang was also on their wanted list.
And there was still no news of Gu Nianzhi.
