Next day.
Around 10 pm.
Nanshan District. The moonlight was rippling in the night. The night here was beautiful.
There was an open-air food stall on the side of the road. It was a boiling cauldron of voices as people came in waves to eat.
Dong Xuebing had been busy saving Geng Yuehua for the past two days. He had to donate blood and treat her lung cancer. He also had to get the local Public Security Bureau to find Zhang Biao's whereabouts and investigate the evidence of Zhang Huo and Zhang Biao framing Geng Yuehua. Dong Xuebing was exhausted and fell asleep after returning to the District Party Committee Guest House. He only woke up at this time, and he went to a food stall to eat some hot Mala Tang. The moment he ate the hot Mala Tang, his body warmed up, and he felt refreshed.
Dong Xuebing shouted: "Lady boss, give me 5 more skewers of vegetarian meatballs."
"Ok." The lady boss laughed. "Do you want chili?"
"More. Oh, give me a few skewers of mushrooms too."
Ring, ring, ring. Dong Xuebing's phone rang. It was Nanshan District Public Security Bureau.
"Hello?"
"Chief Dong, I'm Wen Wei."
"Chief Wen, is there any progress on the case?"
"Yes. Zhang Biao and the driver had been arrested. We had interrogated them, and the driver had admitted that Zhang Biao had given him 100,000 RMB. But that driver said he did not know Zhang Biao was the District's Party Secretary. If not, he would not dare to do it."
"Arrested?! Ok! "
"We are still investigating the case. But we do not have much information on the 2 million RMB bankbook. What do you think?" "Ok.
"Alright, it might be a little late now. How about this, I'll send my people over tomorrow."
"Ok." Wen Wei's relationship with Dong Xuebing in the past was not good. But this time, both of them worked together smoothly. After all, this is a major case that involved the City Government, and they must work together and not be distracted.
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing ordered the Mala Tang.
Dong Xuebing was in a good mood and started eating happily. Zhang Biao was arrested, and he was relieved. Zhang Biao and Zhang Huo had murdered the District Party Secretary and framed a government official. Zhang Biao and Zhang Huo will never be released from prison. These two bastards deserved it!
But after lunch, Dong Xuebing's first call was not to report to the City Commission for Discipline Inspection. He called Nanshan District Public Security's Deputy Bureau Chief Chu. Both of them had met during the earthquake, and they had gone through thick and thin together. They had a good relationship.
"Old Chu, I …"
"Haha, Chief Dong."
"There's something. Do you know that Zhang Biao has been arrested? This matter should have been handled by the Public Security Department. After all, it's a criminal case. However, the Municipal Committee has placed great importance on this matter. So, regarding Zhang Biao … you should pay more attention. " Dong Xuebing did not want to let Zhang Biao off easily. Even if Zhang Biao was arrested, he must let him suffer. If not, Dong Xuebing will not be able to quench his anger. Yuehua's injuries were almost fatal!
Deputy Bureau Chief Chu laughed. "Xuebing, stop talking to me. Don't worry, I know what to do. That kid won't have it easy! "
"Alright then."
"I heard you almost lost your life when you donated blood to save Yuehua."
"Sigh … it's not that dangerous. I know what I am doing."
"You are still the same. But I am impressed by your courage. The case is almost over, and you should return to the City. Let's have dinner together another day."
"I am at a food stall now. Do you want to come?"
"No. Not today. I am about to fall asleep."
"Then another day. I will let you handle Zhang Biao's case."
"Don't worry. Even if you don't say anything, we will not let him off easily."
After supper, Dong Xuebing had nothing to do. He will be handling the case tomorrow, and he had slept for quite some time. Now, he is not sleepy.
Where should I go?
Let's look for Yuehua!
… …
Evening, 11 pm.
Nanshan District Second Hospital.
Dong Xuebing entered the hospital and went straight to Geng Yuehua's ward.
Upstairs, Dong Xuebing had wanted to sneak in like last time. He is a man, and if he doesn't look for Yuehua secretly in the middle of the night, people might gossip. That's why he had to be discreet. But when he reached the corridor, he saw Lin Pingping and Geng Xinke guarding the resting area outside. Both of them are worried about Yuehua and had stayed behind to guard her.
Both of them are not asleep. One is reading, and the other is looking at the sky.
When Dong Xuebing heard his footsteps, Lin Pingping immediately turned to look at him and was stunned.
Dong Xuebing laughed awkwardly and doesn't know what to say.
Unexpectedly, Lin Pingping blushed after seeing it. She suddenly retracted her gaze and looked at Geng Xinke. "Come with me to the bathroom."
Geng Xinke replied without looking up. "You can go by yourself."
"It's too dark. I am scared."
"Sigh … alright … alright … let's go."
Geng Xinke put down his book and followed Lin Pingping to the public toilet on the other side of the corridor.
Dong Xuebing knew Lin Pingping is trying to cover for him and was overjoyed. I did not take care of her when I was at the Investment Promotion Agency. He quickly entered Yuehua's ward.
Inside.
"Who is it?" Geng Yuehua looks at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing closed the door and locked it before asking. "How is my body?"
Geng Yuehua turned her head to one side. "I am feeling better."
Dong Xuebing smiled. "Why are you still angry? I had lent you that money, and you can return it to me in the future. "
"I don't need your money!" Geng Yuehua shouted. "I did not ask Xinke to touch that 3 million! Just take it back as soon as possible! Don't give me this! "
"You're so boring. Aren't I treating you?"
"I don't need it. I have my own money!"
"How much money do you have? What can you do with your salary? You can't even afford a wild ginseng. Don't think my words are harsh. Anyway, I've already given you the money, so I have no reason to take it back. You have to take it whether you want it or not. " Dong Xuebing turned to Lin Pingping. "Oh, let's talk softly. Your brother and Pingping are outside. Don't let them hear us."
"Why did you give me money? What will my parents think? Ah? "
"Ah … I am doing this out of goodwill. Look at you. The atmosphere was so good yesterday, and you will feel uncomfortable if you don't glare at me."
Geng Yuehua kept quiet.
Dong Xuebing quickly changed the topic. "Can we not talk about this? I am here to tell you something. Zhang Biao is arrested, and the person who knocked into you is arrested. "
"I know."
That's right. Since Wen Wei had informed Dong Xuebing about this, there is no reason not to tell Yuehua.
Dong Xuebing heard Lin Pingping's tone had softened, and he pulled her hand. "Don't be angry. I had not thought this through, and it's my fault. But I am doing this for your own good. You must eat the wild ginseng, and there is no room for negotiation. As for what your parents will think, they will not think of me. I am born to serve the people, and they will not suspect me." Dong Xuebing had used his actions during the earthquake to prove his professionalism. He is not afraid of death and had saved countless people. Even if he helped Yuehua this time, no one will say anything.
Geng Yuehua kept quiet for a few seconds. "Consider it as a loan!"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Alright. You can return it slowly in the future."
Geng Yuehua nodded. "Get me a glass of water."
"Ok." Dong Xuebing immediately went to get a glass of water for her.
Geng Yuehua frowned. "Help me sit up."
"Ok." Dong Xuebing went over to help her up carefully. He is afraid of touching her wound. "I realized that my life is to serve others."
Geng Yuehua stared at Dong Xuebing coldly. "Your lover also orders you around?"
Dong Xuebing replied with an unnatural expression. "Of course not. Her? I told her to go east, and she dares not to go west. She wants to go west? I can't beat her to death! "
Dong Xuebing doesn't know if Geng Yuehua believes him, but she did not say a word.
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. "I am worried about your wound now. The doctor said you are recovering well, and the stitches can be removed in a few days. But there is still a possibility of infection. If that happens, it will be troublesome."
Geng Yuehua leaned against the bed frame. "I feel much better after you treated me. I can even walk without any problems."
"You must be careful."
"… ok!"
"You must take care of your diet."
"… ok."
After chatting for a while, Dong Xuebing noticed it's getting late, and he is worried about Geng Xinke. He said. "It's almost 12 pm. I will go back first."
Geng Yuehua closed her eyes and did not say a word.
"Yuehua?" Dong Xuebing asked. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? "
Geng Yuehua ignored him.
Dong Xuebing asked nervously. "Are you feeling unwell? I will call a nurse for you. "
"… I am fine!"
"Ok … I will go now."
"…" Geng Yuehua kept quiet again.
"Yuehua? Say something. "
Geng Yuehua looked at Dong Xuebing and said. "Didn't you ask me to be careful? If I don't walk, how can I go to the bathroom at night? "
"Huh? Call a nurse? I can't stay here to sleep. "
Geng Yuehua hesitated. "… you can stay if you want."
Dong Xuebing was stunned. "Ah?"
Geng Yuehua's face changed. "Get out if you don't want to stay!" She turned around and did not look at Dong Xuebing.
"No, no, no." Dong Xuebing was speechless. "I will stay. Hehe … if you want me to stay, just tell me. "
"When did I say I want you to stay? If you want to leave, you can leave now! No one is stopping you! "
Dong Xuebing smiled. "Fine … fine … I am willing to stay. Alright, I'll be taking care of you tonight. Are you satisfied? "
"… ok."
Sigh … Who did I offend?
It's so hard to be a man!
