Zhang Qiu slowly opened his eyes, and Wang Jinghan and Lan Ningshan almost simultaneously called out. The two women exchanged glances, especially Lan Ningshan looking at Wang Jinghan.
Seeing that both Wang Jinghan and Lan Ningshan were present, Zhang Qiu smiled widely, just about to speak when he felt his arm being gently tugged by Wang Jinghan. Zhang Qiu immediately closed his mouth and then noticed that besides Wang Jinghan and Lan Ningshan, there was also the Young Police Officer who had brought him in, and he was walking towards him.
The officer reached Zhang Qiu's bedside and asked, "You're awake?"
Zhang Qiu remained silent. Wang Jinghan said to the officer, "He’s awake, but still very weak. It’s best not to let him talk; we should call a doctor."
The officer stood still, and Lan Ningshan said, "You go call the doctor; I’ll stay here with this nurse."
"Alright, Officer Blue, I’ll leave it to you."
"Do you know Zhang Qiu?" As the officer stepped out, Lan Ningshan immediately asked. She had clearly seen Wang Jinghan stop Zhang Qiu from speaking earlier, so she intentionally diverted the officer to make it easier for them to talk.
Wang Jinghan looked at Lan Ningshan and honestly admitted, "I know him."
"Sister, Jinghan, we’re all on the same side." Just as Zhang Qiu spoke, he broke into a violent cough, startling Lan Ningshan into urging him not to speak. Wang Jinghan supported Zhang Qiu to sit up and gently patted his back a few times when suddenly he felt a jolt as every hair on his body stood on end.
"You have a fever!"
Just like during his last hospitalization, Zhang Qiu was bare-chested with the White Tiger quietly lying on his chest; only his lower half was still dressed in the wet black school uniform pants he had arrived in. Lan Ningshan wanted to ask Zhang Qiu what had happened but felt an inexplicable worry upon hearing that he had a fever. At the same time, Zhang Qiu grasped both Wang Jinghan's and Lan Ningshan's hands and struggled to say, "You need to help me."
Lan Ningshan and Wang Jinghan exchanged glances and almost simultaneously asked, "How can we help you?"
"Jiang Xue is missing. She disappeared this afternoon on the way from No. 1 High School to White Day Fire. I suspect it was done by Lin Tao's men; Chen Hu and his loyal thug Mao Tong are the prime suspects. You have to help me rescue Jiang Xue." Zhang Qiu's expression was agitated as he spoke quickly before gasping for breath and coughing violently.
Dr. Li pushed the door open just then, with the police officer following behind and closing the ward door. Hearing Zhang Qiu's severe coughing fit, Dr. Li frowned and said, "What nonsense! Jinghan, why did you let the patient sit up?"
Zhang Qiu weakly said, "Dr. Li, it's not her fault. I... I want some water."
"Lie down first, lie down," Dr. Li comforted Zhang Qiu, looking at the frail boy on the hospital bed with mixed feelings. He wanted to unwrap Zhang Qiu's bandage to check the wound, but that thought only flashed through his mind before he abandoned it.
Wang Jinghan said, "Dr. Li, he's running a fever."
Dr. Li approached and touched Zhang Qiu's forehead, slowly saying, "It should be because of the rain. It's nothing serious. I'll have someone bring him some fever-reducing medicine soon."
A police officer walked over and asked, "Doctor, may I ask him a few questions?"
The officer completely failed to notice that there were two girls in the ward glaring at him with predatory eyes. Dr. Li shook his head, saying, "No." As if worried, he emphasized to the officer again, "No one can talk to him anymore; the patient needs to rest well and can't be disturbed!"
After giving instructions to Wang Jinghan, Dr. Li said, "If he wants water, use a straw. Don't let him sit up. Notify me immediately if anything happens." Then he turned to Zhang Qiu and said, "You rest well here and take care of your injuries."
Zhang Qiu nodded but felt that Dr. Li's gaze towards him was somewhat strange.
After Dr. Li left, Lan Ningshan turned to the officer and said, "I'm going back to the station for a bit; you keep an eye on things here."
"Ah!" The officer hadn't expected Lan Ningshan to leave; wasn't she sent here for this? Feeling awkward, the officer said, "Officer Blue, I also need to return to the station."
"Alright then, let's go back together."
"What about him?"
"Let those two keep an eye on him, Liu Hua!"
Outside the ward, Liu Hua heard the goddess's call and hurriedly opened the door to come in. With a cheerful smile, he approached Lan Ningshan but quickly retracted his smile upon seeing her grim expression and cautiously asked, "What's going on?"
"You stay here in the ward watching over Zhang Qiu, and don't leave for a moment. If anything happens, call the doctor immediately. You must ensure his safety."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure of it." Zhang Qiu called Lan Ningshan "sister," and Liu Hua understood the unspoken agreement. Even if she didn't, with her connection to Zhang Qiu, she would help him. However, Lan Ningshan's perception of Zhang Qiu and Liu Hua was still stuck in the time when they had conflicts, so she reminded them, "No funny business."
"What are you talking about? Don't worry, I’ll treat him like my own brother."
Lan Ningshan shot Liu Hua a glare, and Liu Hua quickly shut her mouth. The police nearby were puzzled; what did this auxiliary officer mean by that?
"Zhang Qiu, just focus on recovering here. Remember, you must cooperate with our Public Security Bureau. If we want to investigate someone, there's no one we can't find!" After Lan Ningshan finished speaking, her expression serious, she led the police away.
A smile appeared on Zhang Qiu's face; with Lan Ningshan's words, he felt much more at ease.
Liu Hua walked over to Zhang Qiu, but Wang Jinghan stepped in front of her firmly and said, "He's a patient now; you can't talk to him. He needs rest."
"Okay." Liu Hua sat back down.
Wang Jinghan was surprised by her compliance when she heard Zhang Qiu say from behind, "He's one of us."
"..." Wang Jinghan was left speechless.
Liu Hua returned to Zhang Qiu's bedside and looked at the bandages wrapped around him. She felt a twinge of pain herself and asked, "Brother, how did this happen?"
"I got cut by someone. Now that you're here, I feel more at ease. When that person was here earlier, I couldn't even speak."
"I'll do everything I can to help you."
"Alright, I'm in the ward now. If anyone asks..."
Liu Hua took the lead: "I see you've been sleeping all this time."
"Thank you, thank you." Zhang Qiu started coughing again, and Wang Jinghan quickly helped Zhang Qiu rub his back, gently advising, "Zhang Qiu, you really shouldn't talk. You need to rest."
Wang Jinghan smiled slightly: "Don't you know me yet?"
Wang Jinghan sighed and asked, "If Jiang Xue is missing, then who was locked up?"
"It's Rui Rui, the stunning beauty from the bar that you've seen. This time, I've really put her in a tough spot."
Wang Jinghan looked at Zhang Qiu's profile and suddenly said, "Zhang Qiu, I've noticed something."
"What is it?"
"All the women around you are extraordinary."
Zhang Qiu shook his head and laughed, saying, "We're all remarkable in our own ways."
"I'm serious. I really feel that you're like a mystery; so many women have fallen for you."
Zhang Qiu asked, "Does that include you?"
Wang Jinghan gave a wry smile: "Aren't I already on your pirate ship?"
"It would be better if you weren't on my pirate ship. This time, I might capsize."
"You mustn't say that!"
"Help me take out my phone, I need to make a call."
"Where is it?"
"In my left pocket."
"Ah!" Wang Jinghan looked at Zhang Qiu in surprise, "Your pants are still wet?"
Zhang Qiu's black school uniform pants had been soaked in the rain but looked the same as usual, and since they had dried quite a bit, one wouldn't notice without touching them.
"This won't do; you're still running a fever. Take them off and cover yourself with a blanket!" Wang Jinghan stared at Zhang Qiu, her gaze leaving no room for disobedience. Zhang Qiu smiled wryly, "It's really fine; the doctor will give me some antipyretics soon. I'm still on an IV; it's okay."
"Who understands better, you or me? Hurry up! You have to listen to me here in the hospital!"
"Let's go." The police officer beside Liu Hua stood up to help; he also knew Zhang Qiu, having seen him appear with Director He during training.
Just a few steps out, the officer was tapped on the back of his head. Turning around, he saw Liu Hua looking at him angrily. Confused, he asked, "Brother Hua, why are you hitting me?"
"Come outside with me; I have something to discuss!" Liu Hua pulled his subordinate out and turned back to Zhang Qiu with a cheerful smile, "We're just going out for a bit; we'll be back soon."
Seeing the look in Liu Hua's eyes, which clearly held deeper meaning, Zhang Qiu shook his head. Then he heard Wang Jinghan say, "Lie still and don't move."
Wang Jinghan was unyielding as her hands moved to Zhang Qiu's waist. Since he was injured and couldn't move much, she could only gently lift his waist while using her other hand to pull down the waistband of his school uniform pants. Fortunately, the pants were made of elastic material and were loose-fitting; if Zhang Qiu had been wearing jeans, it would have been much more difficult. Even so, their positions were somewhat ambiguous as Zhang Qiu could feel her soft body through the nurse's uniform.
Wang Jinghan helped Zhang Qiu remove his pants and shot him a glare over her shoulder, scolding, "Pervert! Even injured like this, you can't behave!"
Zhang Qiu felt like crying without tears: "I didn't want it to be like this either."
"Hey, what are you doing!" Zhang Qiu exclaimed in shock as Wang Jinghan pulled down his school uniform pants and then grabbed the only pair of underwear he had left. If that was taken off, all Zhang Qiu would have left on him was a sheer cloth stained with purple medicine. More importantly, how could he face this situation?
Wang Jinghan looked at Zhang Qiu, her tone calm as if she were discussing something ordinary. "It's wet too; it has to come off."
"Then I'll be naked!"
"Just cover yourself with the blanket. You have a blanket, right? You're running a fever; you should keep warm!"
"Can we discuss this? Is there any way we can not... ah!"
"Are you really taking it off?" Zhang Qiu stared at Wang Jinghan.
Wang Jinghan tossed the underwear aside in disgust and said, "Do you think I want to? Hurry up and cover yourself with the blanket; don't leave it exposed."
"You help me cover it; I can't move."
Wang Jinghan rolled her eyes at Zhang Qiu but still grabbed a corner of the blanket from beside him and covered him up. Just as she finished covering him, the nurse came in with a syringe, and both Zhang Qiu and Wang Jinghan silently breathed a sigh of relief!
