Night falls.

The hospital corridors remained cold and damp.

No matter how hot it is during the day, it always feels cold here, and walking through it always gives you a gloomy feeling.

Yang Ju instinctively hugged her arms and curled up in a place where there was no wind.

She wouldn't want to come to a hospital unless she or a family member was sick.

The air here was filled with a strong medicinal smell, as well as various other indescribable odors, which she disliked very much.

"I really hope Ren Guoliang can wake up soon!"

It was so creepy that she couldn't help but mutter something to herself.

Wang Qian told her to stay there and guard the place, and she really did stay there and never dared to leave.

If her older brother, Yang Shenglong, hadn't come later and bought her a boxed lunch, she would have been starving long ago.

However, her older brother, Yang Shenglong, was at the hospital entrance, quite a distance away from her.

According to Yang Shenglong, she was responsible for monitoring the ward, while Yang Shenglong was responsible for monitoring the outside, to prevent Liu Qingqing from taking advantage of any loopholes.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from the stairwell in the corridor.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice entered my ears.

"It's the floor above."

It was a man's voice, full of magnetism.

Wang Qian!

Yang Ju was overjoyed and rushed over.

Sure enough, several people came up the stairs leading to the next floor.

She knows them all!

They are Wang Qian, Lin Chao, Zhou Yuanyuan, He Miaoyin, Huang Bo, and Yao Xishui.

"Brother Qian, what brings you here?"

Yang Ju immediately went to greet her, and the originally gloomy corridor suddenly became less eerie.

"Xiaoju, thank you for your hard work!"

Wang Qian gave him a grateful look, then asked, "Nothing went wrong, right?"

"No!"

Yang Ju shook her head and pointed to Ren Guoliang's ward. "I've been here the whole time. Apart from the nurses, no one has entered that ward yet."

"What about Ren Xiaoqiao and Ren Guoliang?" Wang Qian pressed.

“I secretly went to check outside the ward a few times just now. Ren Xiaoqiao has been taking care of her father, Ren Guoliang, but there is still no sign of him waking up.”

"It's good that you're alright!"

Wang Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely worried that Liu Qingqing might try something during this time.

In retrospect, he was probably worrying too much.

"By the way, where's my brother?"

Yang Ju asked, "My brother should have been guarding the hospital entrance. Didn't you see him when you came in?"

"I saw it!"

Before Wang Qian could answer, Lin Chao interjected, "We ran into him at the hospital entrance when we arrived, but he stayed at the entrance and didn't come in with us."

"I see..."

Yang Ju nodded and then asked, "By the way, why did you all come?"

"Let's take a look at Ren Xiaoqiao and her father, Ren Guoliang."

"I'm afraid she won't want to see you!"

Yang Ju looked troubled. "During the day, Yin Zheng, the legal advisor for the Liu family, kept encouraging her. She may still be hostile towards us."

"It's alright!"

Wang Qian waved his hand, "If Yin Zheng can instigate her, then we can persuade her."

As he said this, he glanced at He Miaoyin.

He Miaoyin urged impatiently, "Stop chatting, business is important, lead the way quickly."

"Okay!"

Yang Ju didn't dare to delay and hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.

A moment later, they arrived outside a hospital room.

There are several hospital beds inside, but only one of them is occupied.

He was a middle-aged man with a full beard, looking haggard, his eyes closed, seemingly still unconscious.

Beside the hospital bed, a girl dressed in tattered clothes sat on a plastic stool and fell asleep, leaning against the bedside.

Yang Ju made a shushing gesture and then gave a few more meaningful glances.

The group understood and, without speaking loudly, walked lightly into the ward.

Although they walked very quietly, they still managed to make some noise.

Ren Xiaoqiao, who was sleeping by the hospital bed, suddenly woke up as if she was frightened.

Turning around, she saw Wang Qian, Yang Ju, and their group. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her tone was filled with impatience. "Didn't I say I didn't want to see you?"

"Xiaoqiao, we've come to see your dad!"

Wang Qian immediately explained his purpose and placed a carton of milk he had brought on the cabinet next to the hospital bed.

Ren Xiaoqiao did not refuse, but she also did not say anything to thank her, her eyes still full of vigilance.

Wang Qian didn't care, he just gave He Miaoyin a questioning look.

"You all go out first!"

He Miaoyin waved her hand and sat down next to Ren Xiaoqiao.

And who are you?

Ren Xiaoqiao was a little nervous.

She was usually shy, and after her father's accident, she became even more introverted and insecure.

It was as if the whole world was filled with malice towards her and her father.

Anyone who gets close to them seems to have ill intentions.

Wang Qian also noticed, but said nothing. He simply gave Huang Bo and the others a wink, and the group filed out.

A moment later, only three people remained in the ward.

Ren Guoliang, who is in a coma, as well as Ren Xiaoqiao and He Miaoyin.

"Ren Xiaoqiao, right?"

He Miaoyin introduced herself: "My name is He Miaoyin, and I'm here to investigate a case."

"Investigate a case?" Ren Xiaoqiao was slightly taken aback.

She felt somewhat unfamiliar with the term "investigation," or rather, she didn't understand it.

"I am a detective!"
