Chapter 28 chapter 28

In the quiet and spacious ward, Qi Lin was opening the windows for ventilation.

The sun's light reflected off the glass and almost dazzled him for a moment.

Lu Xiumu was lying on the white and dust-free hospital bed, his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had fallen into a nightmare, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he kept muttering something.

That's a sign of extreme insecurity.

Bandages were wrapped around his head, drips were on his hands, and there were scars of different shades elsewhere on his body.

The door of the ward was pushed open softly, Qiao Lianjian deliberately slowed down and walked in.

Perhaps because he didn't sleep all night, his eye circles were red, his hair was disheveled, his neckline was open casually, and his tie was also in a mess.

For Qi Lin, who was used to seeing Qiao Lianjian's meticulous appearance, it was very novel to see his informal appearance.

Qiao Lianjian lowered his voice and asked, "How is Xiao Mu now?"

Qi Lin glanced in the direction of the hospital bed, and replied: "It's much better, at least, I finally fell asleep."

Yesterday, Lu Xiumu suddenly developed a high fever and tossed it almost all night.

Qiao Lianjian nodded, put the medical records aside, and said, "The doctor said that Xiao Mu had a mild concussion, and there is nothing serious about it. I just need to stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation."

Qi Lin said "Mmm" in a calm manner.

Qiao Lianjian's cell phone rang suddenly, but he just glanced at it before pressing it off.

Qi Lin looked at him puzzled.

Qiao Lianjian glanced at the sleeping Lu Xiumu for the last time, and said in a low voice, "Qiao's has something urgent, I have to go back to the company first. Please take care of Xiaomu for me first. A professional nurse will come in half an hour. Then you can go."

"Walk?"

"Yes," Qiao Lianjian said unhurriedly, "Boss Qi is also very busy at work recently, right? I heard that there is a very difficult project? If that's the case, I won't waste your time. Go back to work earlier."

After Qiao Lianjian finished speaking, he turned and left decisively.

Qi Lin stared at his back in a daze for a while, and finally found a chair and sat obediently for half an hour.

Lu Xiumu has never shown any signs of waking up.

Qi Lin moved the chair to the side of the hospital bed, and firmly grasped Lu Xiumu's weak hand.

Before getting to know Lu Xiumu deeply, Qi Lin never imagined that he would have such a difficult life.Almost physically and mentally devastated.

And after understanding, every time Qi Lin recalled Lu Xiumu's smile, he felt sore in his heart.Behind his smile, how many unspeakable emotions are hidden?But this also made Qi Lin's desire to protect Lu Xiumu unprecedentedly strong.

Qi Lin lowered his head and kissed Lu Xiumu's slender knuckles.

Lu Xiumu's thick eyelashes fluttered a few times, casting a row of shadows on his face.

Half an hour later, as Qiao Lianjian said, three nurses came.

The three are all slender women, one of them is petite, the one next to her looks younger, and the other is serious and unsmiling.

They all bowed to Qi Lin: "Mr. Qi has worked hard. We were sent by Mr. Qiao to take care of the young master. You can rest and leave everything to us."

Qi Lin originally wanted to take care of Lu Xiumu for a while, but just as Qiao Lianjian said, there are more and more affairs in the company that he needs to handle by himself.In any case, he had to go back to the company.

So he picked up his coat, folded it in his arms, and said politely: "Then I'll leave it to you."

The three nurses nodded and immediately started their work.One started cleaning the ward, the other got a wet towel to wipe off the sweat from Lu Xiumu's forehead, and the other cooked porridge in the small kitchen exclusive to the VIP ward.

Everything went very professionally and orderly.

Seeing that there was really nothing he needed, Qi Lin paused for a few seconds, then turned and left the ward.

When Lu Xiumu woke up, there was nothing but a blank in front of his eyes.

My mind is also blank.

He tried to move his heavy head slowly, looking at the strange furnishings around him, but couldn't remember where he was now.

He thought hard for a while, but still couldn't come up with an answer.

His eyes moved slowly to the hanging bottle above his head.A colorless transparent liquid flowed into his body along the slender catheter.

He woke up instantly.

It turned out that I was in the hospital.

It's ridiculous, not long after, I came back here again.

Lu Xiumu forced himself to stand up halfway, the unhealed wound on his body screaming, the pain made him grin his teeth.

There was no one else in the huge ward.

Qiao Lian was not there.

Qi Lin wasn't there either.

Lu Xiumu was in a daze for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, a slender woman walked in.She was startled to see that he was awake.

She hurried to his side and said eagerly: "Young master, you can't get up now, you have to lie down and have a good rest."

Lu Xiumu didn't know her, so he could only ask, "Where's my brother?"

The woman replied respectfully: "Shao Qiao has gone back to deal with some affairs. We will take care of you these few days."

"Oh..." Lu Xiumu nodded.

He fell hard, hitting his head on the soft pillow.

He turned over and ignored the woman.

A drop of tear slipped from the corner of his eye, dripped on the snow-white pillow, and was sucked dry in an instant.

Just like a drop of water sinking into the turbulent sea, it disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye, leaving no trace.

When the tears flowed down, Lu Xiumu himself was surprised.

Why do you cry?

Obviously my heart is numb, why are you still crying?

He grabbed the pillow, his fingers gradually gathered, crumpling the place into a ball.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes.

A few days later, at 09:30 in the morning, the Trader Joe's headquarters building located in the commercial and financial development center --

Qiao Lianjian walked quickly through the offices and headed for the reception room.

The secretary in a suit and leather shoes followed closely and reported the situation to him: "Young Master Lu's father has been arrested and detained at the police station. But it is said that he is not very honest, and he keeps yelling that he will do harm to the young master."

Someone opened the door of the reception room for Qiao Lianjian. Qiao Lianjian walked in and sat on the large sofa, while Secretary Lin stood respectfully aside.

"When will the lawyer you recommended come?" Qiao Lianjian closed his eyes and pressed his temples quietly.

I haven't been able to sleep well for several days, and I've been running around all the time, so I'm really tired.

Secretary Lin immediately raised her voice and replied: "It will be there in about 10 minutes. They called just now and said that there was a traffic jam during the morning rush hour."

"Okay." Qiao Lianjian only felt his head groggy, "What kind of person is that lawyer?"

"It's a well-known young lawyer in recent years. He came back from studying abroad. He hasn't lost a lawsuit so far. He is said to be a rising star in the legal profession." Secretary Lin said with a smile.

Just as he was talking, there was a sound of conversation and footsteps.

In less than a minute, a slender figure appeared in the meeting guest Yi Pa Song

Secretary Lin reminded in a low voice: "Young Master Qiao, lawyer Gu Xunze has arrived."

When Qiao Lian heard the name clearly, his eyes suddenly widened.

Gu... Xun Ze...?

He slowly turned his head in the direction of the door.I don't know if it was because of the extreme lack of sleep, but he felt his eyes were slightly astringent, as if tears were about to fall if he didn't pay attention.

A tall young man stood in front of him and looked over with a smile.

When the eyes met in the air, Qiao Lianjian only felt that his chest was blocked and it was difficult to breathe.

That person was no longer the immature face in memory, but it gradually overlapped with the figure of Qiao Lianjian Xin Xinnian.

His facial features are more handsome under the years of sculpting, and the green beard on his chin makes him look more mature.

He has grown.

He grew into what he wanted.

Qiao Lianjian tried his best to maintain his composure, trying to behave normally.But when he stood up, his whole body still swayed imperceptibly.

"Hello." Qiao Lianjian quickly controlled his emotions, and his tone was calm.

He stretched out his hand towards Gu Xunze.

Gu Xunze smiled slightly, and reached out to shake hands with him.

"Hello." Gu Xunze's voice was cold.

There is a warm touch in the palm of your hand.

Half a minute later, Qiao Lianjian silently retracted his hand.

There was just the right amount of detachment in his expression.

Gu Xunze's smile froze slightly at the corner of his mouth.

Qiao Lianjian led him into the tea room: "Let's sit and talk."

He made a pot of tea with his own hands, filled three cups, put one cup in front of Gu Xunze, and handed another cup to Secretary Lin.Holding the last cup in his hand, he sat down.

The fragrance of tea instantly filled the whole space.

Gu Xunze saw Qiao Lian's indifferent attitude when he went about business, so he had no choice but to be serious.

The tea was slightly hot, so he had to put it aside.He asked, "What are your requirements for this lawsuit?"

Qiao Lianjian looked up at him: "Are you planning to accept our offer?"

"Yes." Gu Xunze answered directly.

"I want the other party to be sentenced to life imprisonment." Qiao Lianjian said it without hesitation.

Gu Xunze was stunned for ten seconds before laughing: "The young master Qiao I knew before wouldn't be like 'kill them all'."

Qiao Lianjian played with a delicate little cup that was set aside: "Who told him to hurt my most important person again and again. If so, I will not show mercy."

"The most important person..." Gu Xunze repeated in a murmur.

Meanwhile, outside the hospital ward.

Qi Lin has been very busy these days, and finally found time to visit Lu Xiumu.

I heard that his body is gradually recovering, but I don't know how he is feeling, is he still depressed?

Qi Lin was about to push open the door of the ward, but a petite woman came out from nowhere and blocked his way.

The woman said nervously: "Young Master Qiao has ordered that no one can enter without his consent."

Qi Lin didn't react for a while, and said with a smile: "I'm your friend, Young Master Qiao."

"That won't work either." The woman's expression was determined, not negotiable.

Qi Lin hesitated for a while, looked at the closed door of the ward, and had no choice but to compromise.He finally asked, "How is Lu Xiumu's condition?"

Seeing that he no longer persisted, the woman relaxed her vigilance, she replied: "The young master's condition has gradually improved, and he is eating on time. We are taking care of him wholeheartedly."

"That's good." Qi Lin listened carefully and was about to turn around and leave.Suddenly, there was a sound of glass and porcelain breaking in the ward, mixed with one or two exclamations.

Qi Lin became nervous and asked, "What's going on?"

The woman also panicked, and she quickly covered it up: "It's okay, it's probably because the nurse inside was not careful and broke the cup."

Qi Lin observed the woman's expression, and faintly felt something was wrong.

Regardless of her obstruction, he pushed open the door and rushed in.

The two nurses inside squatted on the ground, hurriedly picking up the debris on the ground.

On the hospital bed, Lu Xiumu's mouth was gagged, his hands were tied to the head of the bed, and he lost the ability to move freely.

He struggled desperately, making a whining sound from his mouth.

Looking at all this, Qi Lin's face darkened.He asked coldly: "What's going on?"

The two women who were cleaning up the mess heard the voice and immediately stood up, terrified by Qi Lin's sudden intrusion.

One of the older women explained with a trembling voice: "Mr. Qi, please don't tell Young Master Qiao! The young master has always wanted to hurt himself, and we had no choice but to tie him up."

Another person followed suit and said: "Yes, we have no way to stop him, so we have to make a bad move."

Qi Lin walked quickly to Lu Xiumu's side, untied the rope that bound him, and carefully peeled off the seal on his mouth.

Lu Xiumu was quite frightened, his chest heaved violently.

There was already a circle of red strangle marks on his wrist, and he didn't know how long he had been bound like this.

Qi Lin carefully picked up Lu Xiumu's knees, and hugged him up.

Qi Lin felt that Lu Xiumu was much thinner than last time.

Qi Lin softly whispered in Lu Xiumu's ear: "Xiao Mu, it's okay. I'll take you to my house and let me take care of you. It's okay."

Lu Xiumu closed his eyes weakly, tilted his head to one side, and didn't say anything.

Qi Lin took a step forward and was about to leave the ward, but was stopped by those three women.

"You can't take the young master away!" one of them snapped.

Qi Lin looked ahead, his voice was indifferent, but very menacing: "I'll just say it once, go away! Although I don't hit women, I can't guarantee what I will do in a hurry."

They felt scared, so they could only beg repeatedly: "Mr. Qi, Mr. Qiao has ordered us to take care of the young master. If Mr. Qiao finds out, he will definitely blame us."

Qi Lin glanced at them coldly: "Do you think Qiao Lianjian would be more angry when he found out that you treated his younger brother like this? Or was he more angry when he found out that Lu Xiumu was taken away by me? You know it yourself."

They looked at each other without speaking.

Qi Lin ignored them and left the ward with Lu Xiumu in his arms.
