"We can wait..." The old man was unwilling to give in.
Nie Qingru's face was cold: "You mean you don't believe me?"
This statement was several degrees colder.
"..." The faces of several elders of the Reynard family were not in a good mood. No one would have a good face if someone broke into their home and stole the important account book that could strangle them, not to mention that the other party had reported them just now, making them extremely anxious... If it weren't for Nie Qingru's face, they would not have come here by themselves today, but brought people to arrest the person directly.
At this time, Lei Kai stood up and called out to the old man who was trying to confront Nie Qingru with his neck stiff: "Uncle, please don't be angry. Let's trust the Queen first."
The old man took a breath, as if he had found a way out, and looked at Nie Qingru calmly, no longer polite and respectful as before: "Anyway, this account book is very important to us. I hope the queen will take this matter to heart and give us an explanation as soon as possible."
"certainly."
After Nie Qingru agreed, she replied calmly, "It's still not certain that it was my people who took your account books. I only promised to help ask. If it wasn't him, I wouldn't be able to take care of your family affairs. I can only trouble you to try your best to find out how you lost the account books!"
"Humph!" The old man could no longer hold back and snorted coldly. He waved his hands with a cold face and said to the people of the Reynard family behind him: "Let's go!"
Lei Kai walked at the back, said something politely to Nie Qingru, then turned around and followed the others out of the hospital corridor without looking back.
Shadow waited until everyone had left and then slowly approached: "Queen, why do I feel like something is fishy?"
"Of course I know it's unlikely, but at this point in time..." She was so annoyed that she whispered, "I'll just ask him and I'll know."
**
In the treatment room.
The doctor had already given emergency treatment to the man in the room and was reminding him of precautions.
As soon as Nie Qingru entered, she smelled a strong smell of blood in the whole room. Looking to the side, she could see bloody bullets that had just been taken out of the tray, as well as scissors, tweezers and other suture tools.
In addition, Zhai Xicheng took off his coat, revealing the bulletproof vest he was wearing underneath.
The shot was fired at a very tricky angle, hitting the spot on his left shoulder that was not covered by the bulletproof vest. If it had gone an inch forward, it would have crippled his hand.
Of course, the other party did not let him go on purpose, but he realized the danger at that time and dodged in 0.001 seconds, avoiding the joint.
The bullet missed the joint of his left shoulder, and he barely saved his arm.
The doctor did not give him anesthesia as he requested. He did not say a word during the operation, enduring it numbly as if he was unaware of the pain.
However, the sweat pouring down his forehead and the pale color of his lips betrayed that he was not a piece of wood that was not aware of pain, but was actually enduring pain that no ordinary person could endure.
"Don't let the wound get wet for the next few days, and try to use this hand as little as possible..."
"Avoid spicy food, tobacco, alcohol, etc."
"Rest early and don't overwork yourself. Come and change the medicine every three days until the wound starts to scab over."
"good."
Zhai Xicheng's voice was hoarse and broken.
Nie Qingru walked in from behind him, and seeing these scenes, even his anger disappeared for the most part, and an indescribable annoyance rose in his heart.
Just as she was clenching her palms, Zhai Xicheng suddenly turned around and saw her. His eyes flashed, and he barely managed to call her, "Aunt."
