Zhou Ran stood at the door and said to Zhou Hong happily: "Uncle, Aunt Xia and the others are here to visit you!"

Zhou Hong was stunned when he heard this. He looked up suddenly and unexpectedly saw Xia Huiyin and Xia Shige standing at the door of the ward.

Xia Huiyin and Xia Shige followed Zhou Ran into the ward and placed the lunch boxes in their hands on the table.

Xia Huiyin's smile was filled with a hint of apology. She said, "Officer Zhou, I'm really grateful that you saved my family. If you hadn't been there, what happened last night would have been unimaginable."

Xia Shige also nodded: "Officer Zhou, I'm so sorry for causing you to get hurt this time."

Zhou Hong was a little dazed as he looked at Xia Huiyin's smile. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but for some reason, he was choked by his own saliva as soon as he opened his mouth and could only cough violently.

“Ahem, ahem—”

Zhou Ran was shocked when he saw this. He rushed to Zhou Hong and patted his back to help him breathe. He asked anxiously, "Uncle! Uncle, what's wrong with you? Does your wound hurt?"

Zhou Hong calmed down. He first used Zhou Ran's hand to cover his hair without leaving any traces. Then he pushed Zhou Ran away and said to Xia Huiyin, "Don't say that. Protecting your safety is the responsibility of our people's police. Besides, it was you who saved me last night. If you hadn't come back in time to kill Zhao Kuntai, I would have died there."

Xia Shige listened silently on the side. She had been worried on the way here, afraid that Zhou Hong would ask them for the guns in their hands as soon as he woke up.

Now she felt relieved when she saw that Officer Zhou Hong did not make a fuss about their illegal possession of firearms.

Xia Shige now just prayed that Zhou Hong would never pick up a gun again, otherwise the war supplies he had obtained with great difficulty would be confiscated...

As Xia Huiyin opened the lunch boxes one by one, she said, "Officer Zhou, these are all made by the elderly at home. Please take a look and see if they suit your taste."

Before Zhou Hong could say anything, Zhou Ran slapped his forehead and said, "Ah, I forgot to say that my uncle has had no appetite since he woke up. He probably can't eat..."

Before Zhou Ran could finish his words, Zhou Hong pushed him aside again.

Zhou Hong smiled and said to Xia Huiyin: "Thank you, I'm just hungry."

Zhou Ran:……?

Zhou Ran glanced at Zhou Hong with suspicion, but the latter ignored him and calmly took the fish ball soup brought by Xia Huiyin.

The big fish raised in Taoyuan Creek have tender meat. My grandmother and Grandma Liu are great cooks. The fish ball soup is very delicious. It is pure freshness and fragrance without any fishy smell.

There are small lotus leaves floating on it, which are colorful, fragrant and delicious.

Zhou Hong drank up a bowl of soup in three bites, and ate a lot of stewed tender chicken and mushrooms, light and refreshing stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and tender fried steak... He didn't look like he had a poor appetite at all, which made Zhou Ran, who was standing next to him, stunned.

Zhou Ran wanted to try what these tasted like. Otherwise, why would Zhou Hong ignore the meals prepared by the Zhou family chef and instead eat these ordinary-looking dishes?

Soon, the four dishes and one soup brought by Xia Huiyin and Xia Shige were all eaten up by Zhou Hong.

Seeing that Zhou Hong had finished his meal, Xia Huiyin and Xia Shige did not dare to disturb him to rest. After packing up their lunch boxes, they prepared to get up and say goodbye.

Before leaving, Xia Shige said to Zhou Hong: "Officer Zhou, yesterday's terrorist attack... is it related to the He family?"

Zhou Hong shook his head: "Without solid evidence, we will continue to investigate."

Upon hearing this, Xia Shige nodded thoughtfully, turned around and left without saying anything else.
