The ward was very quiet at the moment, so quiet that there wasn't even a sound.

Jiang Jinyu regained consciousness while Jiang Qiao was giving him acupuncture. When he saw the person giving him acupuncture, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Qiao'er, you're still alive?"

Seeing Jiang Jinyu like this, Jiang Qiao's own eyes welled up with tears. "I'm not dead, I'm still alive, and you're alive too. From now on, we must both live well—"

Jiang Jinyu muttered to herself, "I saw my parents. They said my younger sister didn't report for duty, so they sent me back again."

Jiang Qiao sighed, "That means your time hasn't come yet. Even if you report early, they won't accept you. Did your parents say anything else?"

Jiang Jinyu said with a troubled expression, "My older brother and younger brother went there. They told me to take good care of my younger sister, but I don't know where she is."

Can Jiang Qiao say, "I'm your little sister"? No, she absolutely cannot say that.

"Don't think too much. Your little sister might still be alive and well somewhere. Don't overthink it. Take good care of yourself and protect the people you should protect."

There's no need to worry about anything else. Maybe your sister is worried about you too. Even if you find her, what can you do if you keep acting like this?

Jiang Jinyu looked at Jiang Qiao with sparkling eyes. "You mean, my sister also cares about me?"

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "If your sister doesn't care about you, her brother, who else can she care about? I'll say it again: take good care of yourself and don't let your sister worry."

Jiang Jinyu smiled happily, "Jiang Qiao, have I ever told you that I'm really happy to see you again?"

Jiang Qiao said while giving her acupuncture, "I'm happy too, but your situation makes me even more worried. Do you know what my situation is like right now? I'm a murder suspect. I'm a perfectly normal person, but I'm hiding everywhere. I can't go home, and I can't show myself. If I come out, I'll definitely be arrested."

You have to take responsibility for this. I'm your subordinate; you have a duty to protect me.

Jiang Jinyu looked at Jiang Qiao apologetically, "I'm so sorry, it's my fault. I didn't expect the enemy to come up with such a not-so-bad idea, but some people just happened to fall for it."

Jiang Qiao, I'll handle this matter once I'm better. Can you tell me what evidence you have?

He's my own brother after all; look at that, he got right to the point with just one sentence.

"Yes, I have a witness, but I haven't dared to hand him over. There are some people I don't trust, so I'm protecting this person now. I'm waiting for someone I can trust before I hand him over. If something happens to this person, I won't be able to explain myself later."

What's the situation on your end? Are you able to get back to work?

Jiang Jinyu nodded. "For your sake, I have to go back to work. Jiang Qiao, remember, you must protect yourself from now on."

"If you have any good medicine, please give it to me. I need to get out to work right away."

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't make things difficult for yourself, and as long as I'm here, you'll have a chance to live."

Come on, take your medicine. We'll eat in a bit; I'll make it for you. Get better soon so I can go home sooner.

"Let me tell you, I'm pregnant! Have you ever seen a pregnant woman like me, constantly hiding and on the run, always on guard against being caught? I'm clearly representing justice, so why am I being treated like a scoundrel?"

Jiang Jinyu looked at Jiang Qiao in surprise, "Pregnant?"

Jiang Qiao nodded. "I'm already married, so getting pregnant was only a matter of time. It's just that the timing was bad, and the enemy plotted against me. I hope you get better soon and clear my name. This is ridiculous. Even if you want to investigate me, you can do it locally. Why do you have to make me come here?"

Now look what's happened! Sun Tianlei and Lei Meng are both in trouble, and they're blaming me for it. Am I being wronged?

Jiang Jinyu had to admit that the two of them were too inconsiderate in their actions. However, after learning that Jiang Qiao had treated Sun Tianlei's father-in-law on the way, she could understand his thoughts to some extent.

"Forget it, I'll handle this once I'm better. Jiang Qiao, for now, you have to stay like this. We need to play along—"

Jiang Qiao wasn't one to hold grudges; she was just venting in front of her second brother.

After removing the needles, he gave Jiang Jinyu a pill and then took out the things he had prepared.

"Are you hungry? Come on, let's eat. First, have some fish soup; it'll help you recover quickly."

When Jiang Qiao opened the lunchbox, a delicious aroma wafted out.

Jiang Jinyu glanced at Jiang Qiao and said, "You've really gone to a lot of trouble this time—"

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "It's good that you know. Hurry up and drink it. I have some steamed buns here, and we'll have some vegetables later."

In order to see you, I had Liu Zhanyu arrange for your wife to leave. Currently, only Jian Ling and Liu Zhanyu know that I am still alive. Others do not know, and I do not know whether they can guess. So, you can decide how to handle this matter from now on.

Also, I'll have to come back tomorrow to give you acupuncture. You definitely didn't take the medicine I gave you on time, otherwise, it wouldn't have caused this kind of irritation.

Jiang Qiao was absolutely right about this. Jiang Jinyu nodded. "Yes, when I was locked up, they wouldn't let me bring my medicine. I had no choice. It won't happen again. Have you taken your medicine?"

"I've already eaten. You should drink it quickly while it's hot. This stuff is more effective when it's hot."

After all, he's her own brother, and Jiang Qiao is doing this for Jiang Jinyu's own good. If there's something good, she'll definitely be willing to give it up.

After finishing the fish soup, Jiang Jinyu finally understood why it was so good and why Jiang Qiao had made him drink it. He had felt weak all over before, but now he felt as if he had been given strength again.

Then she ate the food Jiang Qiao had brought, and while she was eating, Jiang Qiao told her about her current situation.

Jiang Jinyu was dumbfounded. "My God, you're really brave. I've never seen a pregnant woman dare to come here for treatment. You were complaining before, but you're the only one who did this. Let me tell you, if you're not sick, don't take medicine randomly. It's easy to make things worse."

Jiang Qiao curled her lips. "I'm a doctor, how could I not know? Isn't this to treat you nearby? Who do you think I'm doing this for? Don't be ungrateful and expect the hospital to treat you. You'll have to wait a long time."

As for the rest, Jiang Qiao will not ask for the time being. She should know what Jiang Jinyu's plans are.

"What exactly is going on with that investigation team leader and his superior? Which one is an enemy agent?"

Jiang Jinyu shook her head. "It's not clear yet. Let's wait for the interrogation results. In principle, neither of these two people should be guilty. However, there must be something else going on. We can't let something like that into our department. So, we'll have to see how things go on with Elder Luo. He definitely won't admit it so easily."

Jiang Qiao nodded. "That's true. If we admit it, we'll be accomplices. If we don't admit it, we'll just be ignorant."
