In the intensive care unit, various instruments were humming alternately, and medical staff rushed over, trying their best to rescue the woman on the bed.

Qin Hezhou had been running all the way here, and his breathing was already unstable. Seeing this scene, he was so angry that he couldn't speak. He could only look at Zhou Yanli with a look of immense anger, waiting for his explanation.

Zhou Yanli rarely showed a guilty expression. "It was an adverse reaction after the operation caused indirectly by the explosion. We are already doing our best to treat him..."

"Is this what you wanted to talk to me about this morning?" Qin Hezhou asked.

After these words were spoken, Zhou Yanli fell silent. In the quiet atmosphere, the only sound he could hear was the beeping of the instruments in the ward.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, it’s just that he can’t say it once the words come to his lips.

This morning, I received a call from home saying that Zhou Yanchu has admitted that she was responsible for the explosion and the incident targeting Pei Zhiyu.

Although Zhou's father also hated his daughter for being useless, she was his own flesh and blood after all. He repeatedly emphasized to his son that he had a good relationship with Qin Hezhou and asked him to beg for mercy. It would be best to handle the matter peacefully.

Zhou Yanli knew Qin Hezhou well enough to know that this matter wasn't something that could be resolved simply by someone pleading for mercy. Even after the surgery, he'd decided not to intervene, but after hearing his father's exhausted pleas, he couldn't help but agree.

However, he didn't expect that before he could open his mouth, Qin Mengzhi's condition suddenly worsened, and it was impossible for him to plead for mercy now.

Zhou Yanli is now silent, looking guilty, and Qin Hezhou has a rough idea of ​​what's going on.

He rarely used such a cold attitude towards his friends. His demeanor was so low that his assistant didn't dare to follow him and could only stand a few meters away and wait.

Until he heard Qin Hezhou calling him over.

"Call the police."

"What?" The assistant was confused.

Zhou Yanli was also panicked, "What are you going to do?"

"Let the police handle the entire explosion matter. Once the real culprit is found, there will be no leniency and no compromise." He spoke the complete sentence word by word without even glancing at Zhou Yanli, but the assistant could tell that he was warning him.

After the assistant left, he continued, "I don't like to blame others, but you'd better not mention her again in the future."

"clear."

"I hope your father understands." Qin Hezhou said coldly: "This is the result of your spoiling her all the time. Instead of letting her do whatever she wants to make up for the debt owed to the other aunt, it is better to go to her grave and burn a few more incense sticks."

"Yeah..." Zhou Yanli, feeling hurt, gave an ugly smile, "My dad hasn't visited my mom's grave for a long time."

He channeled all his guilt and indebtedness towards his wife into doting on Zhou Yanchu, leading to his current situation. In reality, he was simply avoiding the situation; he didn't even dare visit the graves, as if fearing it would bring back memories and remind him of his past mistakes.

"Don't worry, I'll be staying in the hospital during this time and just take care of Aunt Meng. Let him figure out the mess at home himself."

After hearing his promise, Qin Hezhou's expression eased a little.

Just at this moment, the rescue doctor came out and explained Qin Mengzhi's current condition. He said that he was fine and could be transferred to the general ward after two days of observation.

They both breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Hezhou changed his clothes and went into the intensive care unit and stayed there for a long time before coming out. When he was leaving, he suddenly turned around and looked at Zhou Yanli with a strange look.

"Next time, please prepare some normal clothes," he said.

Hearing the teasing tone in his voice, Zhou Yanli's tense nerves finally relaxed. "Well, I'll prepare a hundred or eighty formal suits for you."

Qin Hezhou didn't answer. He turned and left, stretched out his arms, and waved them twice in the air in response.

As soon as he left, Zhou Yanli received another call from his father.

When he picked up the phone, he could still vaguely hear crying coming from the other end. It was probably Zhou Yanchu making a scene at home. He relayed the whole story to Zhou's father.

When Zhou's father heard about calling the police, he became nervous and scolded him for not doing his job properly. "How can you call the police? Your sister is a girl, how can you let her... Go and talk to her again. Are you going to ruin the relationship between the two families because of a woman who ran out of nowhere?"

Zhou Yanli once again felt the cold-bloodedness of his father, the dean, and bluntly retorted, "She's a girl, a hurt girl, isn't she? The Zhou family is so proud, but Aunt Meng didn't take good care of her, and you're still using our friendship to justify it?"

“…”

"Qin Hezhou has been very decisive in recent years. You're somewhat familiar with his temper. Calling the police might be better than falling directly into his hands."

Zhou's father didn't say anything else. The only sound on the other end of the phone was Zhou Yanchu's unreasonable voice.

He didn't know how much the other person had heard, but his patience had run out. Before hanging up, he only said, "You haven't visited the grave in six years. Does your mother miss you?"

Zhou Yanli's words reopened the wound that Zhou's father thought had healed. After tearing off the scab, blood flowed all over the floor and he could no longer remain calm.

At this moment, Zhou Yanchu's cries were like salt being sprinkled on the ground.

“That’s enough!”

"..." She was frightened. This was the first time her father had yelled at her since she was a child. Then a feeling of powerlessness crept over her. Zhou Yanchu had a premonition that she was about to be abandoned.

The more panicked he became, the more he started to speak without thinking. "Dad, are you even going to help that woman? Have you all been bewitched?! Why?"

"Just because she's the apple of Qin Hezhou's eye!" Zhou's father angrily scolded, "I've spoiled you so much over the years that you didn't know what life was like. You even dared to plan an explosion."

"Mom suffered so much to give birth to me. You can't do this to me... You can't! Do this!" Zhou Yanchu continued to cry, always feeling that they owed him, "You are worthy of my mother——"
