Chapter 82 The one who kidnapped him was his ex

The smell of disinfectant wrapped in the air-conditioning seeped into Shen Qing's nose, and she was sunk into the pure white bedding like a faded butterfly wing.

The purple blood vessels on the back of his hand spread like a spider web. The transparent infusion tube trembled slightly with his breathing, slowly injecting the cold liquid into his pale skin.

Lai Yun lowered his eyes and flipped through the leather folder. The tip of his pen made a harsh rustling sound on the medical record paper.

"Do you feel any discomfort?"

Shen Qing shook his head and squinted his eyes without saying a word, as if he was extremely tired.

There was a gentle knock on the door. Lai Yun pressed his pen heavily on the bedside table without even looking up. The sound of metal knocking startled the footsteps outside the corridor and stopped abruptly.

"Come in"

It was not until Lai Yun spoke softly that the two people outside dared to open the door.

"Qing Ze!"

The moment Qin Xiyang pushed open the door of the ward, Fang Changling had already walked quickly to his bedside, with his trembling fingers hovering above the purple needle hole on the back of his hand.

Lai Yun suddenly raised his eyes, his icy gaze swept across the two of them, and a cold snort of warning escaped from his throat.

"The patient needs to rest now, both of you should pay attention to me."

Fang Changling's neck instantly straightened, he staggered back half a step, found a companion chair and sat down.

Qin Xiyang also froze in place. After thinking for a moment, he walked to the cubicle and took out a companion chair and sat beside him.

The dead silence lasted for three seconds, Shen Qingze's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his dry lips moved out broken syllables.

"water....."

Fang Changling immediately leaned over and tilted the cup to his lips. The warm water slid down the corners of his mouth, leaving dark marks on the pillow.

"Don't get excited. If you have something to say, just speak slowly."

Lai Yun suddenly turned his head, and the gaze behind his glasses was like a poisoned arrow.

"Anyone who dares to scare him again will jump down from here and become a human parabola."

Qin Xiyang swallowed his saliva and carefully moved to the end of the bed.

"Lai Yun, you have to know...what Qi Hao and him went through, right?"

Fang Changling clenched the bed sheet tightly, his knuckles turning white and almost transparent.

Shen Qingze suddenly started coughing violently, and the infusion tube shook violently with his twitching shoulders. Lai Yun immediately pressed down on his trembling shoulders, and the warmth of his palms burned his skin through his hospital gown.

"Shut up. Now is not the time for you to ask questions."

"Thank you... Just let me take my time."

Shen Qingze's body was not weak, but the opponent was rather insidious. The blade that cut through his clothes on his back must have been poisoned, which had been draining his spirit and strength.

If he was not an ordinary person, he would have died by now.

Shen Qing regained his breath and, with the support of Lai Yun, leaned weakly against the head of the bed.

His breathing was still rapid, and every breath seemed to use up all his strength. The wound on his back was still aching. Ye Xiang must have given a death order!

His pale lips trembled slightly. He finally gathered up some strength and began to recount that thrilling experience.

"Qihao and I went to the intersection of Guoshi Road to continue investigating the clues of the case, but we were ambushed."

At this point, Fang Changling slowly tightened his hands on his legs, and Shen Qing continued,

"We hid in my studio and then in my house, but somehow they were able to find us,"

"After many twists and turns, my talisman paper is almost gone, and I can't guarantee whether our hiding place is safe. In order to protect the clues we found, Qihao and I ventured out to find a talisman paper shop."

Shen Qing paused for a moment and couldn't help coughing again. He might have injured his lungs. After all, the poison spread very quickly. It would take some time to recover.

He had no choice but to drink a mouthful of water to clear his throat. His voice was as hoarse as sandpaper, and he continued,

"After breaking up with Xiao Qihao, I always felt like there was a pair of eyes behind me. No matter where I went, I couldn't get rid of that feeling of being watched."

"I didn't dare to stop and ran towards crowded places. I was lucky enough to accidentally enter a small market and found a shop selling talisman paper in the alley."

He paused, his Adam's apple rolling with difficulty, and reached out to grab the pen and paper on the bedside table.

Lai Yun immediately understood, handed him a pen and paper, and carefully spread out the paper on the bedside table next to the bed.

Shen Qing made some adjustments and continued,

"I was thinking of buying some talismans for self-defense. I had just picked out the talismans, cinnabar and peach wood nails, but before I could pay, I saw a group of dark shadows pouring out from the alley across the street."

"They seemed to have received orders and smelled the scent of prey. They stared at me with ferocious eyes. It was clear that they were coming for me."

Recalling the scene at that time, Shen Qingze couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He happened to look back and saw dozens of men in black standing not far from the door, staring at him hungrily, as if he would be hunted down and killed as soon as he walked out of the store.

"I knew I couldn't escape, so I hurriedly took out the copper bell and tried to alert Xiao Qihao to the danger, but those people didn't give me a chance at all. Their despicable tricks were hard to resist,"

"I was dodging and waving my sword to fight back in the chaos. During this time, the copper bell was blown away by a strong wind and was snatched away by the opponent the moment it left my hand."

He closed his eyes, his face full of regret and reluctance.

"I am no match for them. I have no choice but to fight and retreat at the same time, using the terrain in the alley to deal with them."

"I finally managed to shake off the pursuers. After that, I could only carefully take a detour and return to my residence bit by bit..."

Before he finished speaking, he coughed violently again, causing his thin shoulders to rise and fall continuously.

Shen Qingze coughed terribly, as if he was going to cough out his lungs. Lai Yun immediately stood up and pretended to examine him.

"He's coughing like this, I'm afraid he has internal injuries."

Fang Changling continued to ask anxiously,

"And then? What happened to Qihao?"

Shen Qing pursed his lips in pain, then said solemnly,

"I'm late. Qihao was captured by them. I'm sorry, Captain Fang."

Fang Changling's face turned pale instantly. He fell weakly against the backrest, covered his forehead with his hands in pain and began to cry.

Shen Qingze didn't know how to comfort Fang Changling for a moment, so he could only whisper helplessly,

"But don't worry, Team Fang, they won't hurt Qihao."

"Why..?"

Shen Qing was hesitant about whether to tell Fang Changling that the murderer who kidnapped Xiao Qihao was his ex.

But apart from this, he couldn't seem to think of any other reason to explain it, so he smiled bitterly and said,

"Actually, I cast some protective spells on him. I can feel that he is still alive, so don't be too sad."

When he starts to coax people, there is really no trust at all.

Lai Yun had already checked his pulse. His eyes were deep and he had something to say but couldn't get it out.

Qin Xiyang noticed her strangeness, quietly pulled her sleeve, and pointed to the door.

The two of them left the room one after the other. After confirming that there was no one in the corridor, Qin Xiyang asked in a low voice,

"What do you want to say?"

Lai Yun lowered his eyelashes in distress and laughed bitterly.

"Do you remember why we left the Major Crimes Unit together?"
