She was about to speak when there was a hurried knock on the door.
"I'll go open the door." Lin Qing left the dining table.
Mother Lin looked at Xu Yuan again, but saw a strange look in her eyes.
Like some kind of declaration of victory.
Father Lin remained silent.
Lin Qing, who went to open the door, didn't come back after half a minute, so Xu Yuan was about to get up: "Uncle and aunt, I'll go take a look."
Mother Lin pulled Xu Yuan back and said, "Qingqing is not here now. Tell Auntie what happened?"
Xu Yuan seemed to hesitate for a moment.
At the doorstep of her home, Lin Qing looked at the officer who had sent her home that day, and for some reason the blood in her body began to flow backwards.
"Hello, Madam Mu." The officer bowed politely.
Lin Qing was a little uncomfortable, so he could only respond: "Looking for me?"
The officer said in a low voice: "Please follow me."
Lin Qing suddenly became uneasy.
"Is it Mu Li who is looking for me?"
"This..." The officer hesitated for a moment, as if weighing whether to say it or not.
Lin Qing calmed down and said, "It's okay, you can tell me now."
The officer was silent for a moment: "Captain Mu was injured and has been sent to the hospital."
All the blood in Lin Qing's body froze.
"What injury? How did you get hurt?" Her lips trembled slightly.
The officer was at a loss for words: "Time is running out, please follow me to the hospital first."
Time is... tight
It was like a violent storm.
Lin Qing took a step back and almost tripped over the threshold.
"Qingqing, what happened?" came Mother Lin's voice.
Lin Qing made a hushing gesture to the officer and forced a pale smile.
"It's okay, Mom. I have to go out now." Lin Qing raised his voice, and felt that the voice did not sound like it came from his mouth. "I may be back late, you don't have to wait for me."
Or, maybe I won’t come back today.
Mother Lin did not suspect anything and just asked, "Who is at the door?"
"A friend, long time no see. We'll leave first." Lin Qing said as he walked out, closing the door before Lin's mother came over.
"Let's go." Lin Qing took a difficult step.
The officer looked at Lin Qing like this and didn't know what to say.
Of course Mother Lin became suspicious.
When I rushed to the door, Lin Qing was nowhere to be seen.
Xu Yuan was still sitting at the dining table, but was stopped by Mother Lin and became more restrained.
"Auntie, everything I said is true." Xu Yuan smiled.
Mother Lin felt that there was something hidden behind that smile.
“I will ask Lin Qing about this matter myself.” Mother Lin returned to the restaurant, “If it is true, I will ask you to apologize.”
However, she increasingly felt that the truth was not what Xu Yuan said.
Lin Qing has always had a crush on Chen Qudong and almost cheated on him
Because Xu Yuan saw everything, the two of them turned against each other
If it happened to someone else, Mother Lin might still believe it.
At around eight or nine o'clock, when Lin's mother saw that Lin Qing had not returned home yet, she called Lin Qing's cell phone.
Unexpectedly, the cell phone rang in Lin Qing's room.
It was only then that Mother Lin noticed that Lin Qing hadn't even had time to change his shoes before going out.
Could the person who just came to the door be Chen Qudong
"Don't think too much. Our daughter is not that kind of person." Father Lin turned on the TV and switched to a truth or fake game program.
Mother Lin had mixed feelings.
Father Lin then said, "Look at these people. They make it sound like they experienced it themselves, but it turns out it's all fake."
Mother Lin recalled Xu Yuan’s eyes again.
Renji Hospital, City A.
It has the best medical team and medical equipment in the country.
At 7:30 in the evening, Lin Qing appeared in the hospital corridor wearing home clothes.
She had never felt that a hospital was so big. The corridors seemed to be endless.
She didn't even know how she got to the hospital.
I just felt my body going numb again and again.
The strong smell of disinfectant in the corridor made Lin Qing feel a little nauseous.
She walked all the way to the end, almost holding her breath, and stopped at the door of the operating room.
The glaring red sign was on, and the three words "In Surgery" were unusually conspicuous.
"He was sent to the operating room half an hour ago." The officer reported the situation promptly.
The incident happened suddenly, and even the usually calm adjutant looked panicked.
The officer shuddered when he recalled how the adjutant was organizing people to send Mu Li to the hospital while asking someone to notify Lin Qing.
Mu Li's situation...
He didn't dare think about the consequences.
Lin Qing tried hard to sober himself up.
Stay calm.
The officer had been following Mu Li for a long time and was very good at observing his words and expressions.
Lin Qing is not tall and looks petite. She stood at the door of the operating room, looking helplessly at the closed door, which made people feel even more distressed.
At this time, she lowered her head and looked at her toes, and realized that she was still wearing slippers.
The officer was considerate and bought a pair of shoes for Lin Qing to change into.
Lin Qing was very grateful and said thank you.
The moment he sat on the bench, he used up all his strength.
Her whole body was stiff, and cold blood flowed through her hands.
There was no one else in sight in the long and dark corridor, except for the officer who was always guarding outside the operating room door.
Later, Lin Qing found out that there were originally many of Mu Li's subordinates here. Considering Lin Qing's feelings, he asked everyone to go back and stand by.
With such a grand ceremony, one can imagine how bad Mu Li’s situation is.
Lin Qing sat there motionless, with his head down and staring at his toes.
It's too quiet around here.
Apart from my own breathing, I couldn't hear any other sound.
Her hands were clenched tightly together, her nails digging deep into the flesh, leaving a row of crescent-shaped blood marks.
But she was unconscious.
She just hoped the operation would be over soon.
Then I can see Mu Li earlier.
But the operation took a long time.
Lin Qing sat stiffly in a chair outside the operating room, unable to remember anything.
"Can you tell me how he got hurt?"
The officer paused and said, "During the training between the two teams, a stray bullet hit the commander."
Lin Qing tried to suppress his trembling and had difficulty breathing: "Where? Where did it hit?"
"It hit me in the head."
There is no sound.
Lin Qing didn't ask any more questions.
She lowered her head, showing no emotion.
But even the officers standing a little further away could feel her sadness.
Her pain was too intense.
"It's late. Do you want me to take you to rest for a while?" The officer was a little worried about Lin Qing.
Judging from her current condition, she might collapse before the operation is over.
Lin Qing shook his head.
She still couldn't believe that Mu Li was lying on the operating table.
Maybe this was all a dream.
When the time comes, the dream will naturally end.
But before she woke up from the dream, the lights in the operating room went out.
The doctor came out of the operating room and took off his mask.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Li was pushed out of the operating room.
He lay on the hospital bed, his face pale.
The officer wanted to help Lin Qing up, but her legs were too stiff to move.
Lin Qing walked towards the doctor who had just come out and almost fell after taking two steps.
"Be careful!" The doctor also hurried to help.
Lin Qing managed to stand steadily, his eyes always fixed on Mu Li.
The doctor asked, "Are you a family member?"
Lin Qing responded: "How is his condition?"
I thought I was calm enough, but what I heard was a hoarse and trembling voice.
Also, the tongue keeps getting tied up.
The doctor looked at her and sighed inwardly. He only said, "He has a brain injury and the situation is somewhat serious. Fortunately, he was rescued in time and is no longer in danger of death."
There is no danger to life.
Lin Qing felt a wave of pain and excitement in her heart, and tears flowed down her face unconsciously.
The silent crying moved the doctors and nurses around her.
"He is out of danger, don't worry too much." A young nurse couldn't help but come forward to comfort him.
The tears still flow silently.
Lin Qing followed behind, just looking at Mu Li quietly without saying a word.
Mu Li was sent to the intensive care unit.
"Although he's out of danger, we still need to observe him for a while," the doctor explained.
After settling Mu Li down, the doctor checked the equipment in the room again and gave Lin Qing a few instructions.
Lin Qing listened carefully and nodded from time to time.
Seeing that she didn't react much, the doctor thought that she was just too shocked, so he didn't say anything more and left with the nurses.
Lin Qing and Mu Li were the only ones left in the ward.
There were all kinds of tubes inserted into Mu Li's body. Lin Qing didn't dare to go forward and just watched from afar.
Her eyes were red, but she was not crying.
"Fool, big fool."
Her lips moved and a hoarse sound came out.
As dull as her eyes.
However, the person on the bed did not move.
Lin Qing then went to complete the admission procedures and filled in her name as the emergency contact.
After dealing with the trivial matters related to hospitalization, he returned to the ward.
"Does the Mu family know?" Lin Qing tried to make his voice sound normal.
The officer paused for a moment: "No notification yet."
"Go and notify them now and tell them that they are out of danger. They don't need to rush here overnight. I will stay in the ward." Lin Qing said and looked out through the window in the corridor.
Before I knew it, it was already midnight.
She felt as if time had stood still.
Silently.
Lifeless.
The officer immediately went to work on it, and Lin Qing returned to the ward.
Mu Li on the hospital bed looked pale and his lips were tightly pursed.
Lin Qing had only seen him like this once, and that was when Mu Li first misunderstood her relationship with Chen Qudong.
Thinking of Mu Li's cold tone and domineering behavior at that time, Lin Qing couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"Idiot, get up quickly." She walked closer and looked at him under the light.
It was still that handsome face with clear lines, but she couldn't believe that the person in front of her was Mu Li.
"I will cry if you do this." Lin Qing said calmly and silently.
"Didn't you tell me to wait for you? I've been waiting, why don't you get up?"
But the big fool lying on the hospital bed, as she called him, never woke up as she wished.
The next day, Lin Qing took some time to go back home and packed up all the necessary items and brought them back to the hospital.
When Lin Qing went back to her parents' house to retrieve her phone, her mother saw through Lin Qing's thoughts.
"Qingqing, can you please tell me what happened?"
Those red and swollen eyes, she wouldn't believe it even if I told her a thousand times that it was okay.
Lin Qing's voice trembled: "Mom, something happened to Mu Li."
At the same time, Shen Yuhe had already rushed to the hospital.
When Lin Qing returned to the hospital accompanied by her mother, Shen Yuhe was talking to the attending physician outside the ward.
As he approached, a word faintly floated into Lin Qing's ears.
"The situation is now basically stable, but it is not optimistic..."
