Chapter 120 The Truth
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Yi drove away from Yuzhou with Su Tong.
However, there were two more comrades traveling together this time. They were both tall and straight with sharp eyes, and it was obvious that they were military personnel.
Sure enough, Qin Yi introduced that one was called Cheng Gang and the other was called Rao Jiancheng, both of whom were his comrades-in-arms.
Before leaving, the hospital leaders, attending physicians and local public security comrades shook hands with Qin Yi and said goodbye, and promised to complete Ma Liu's formalities and corresponding escort matters as soon as possible, and Ma Liu could be escorted to Ezhou within three to five days.
Su Tong sat in the car and watched. Although he had many questions, he didn't say anything.
Qin Yi told her some details of the case because he knew her abilities and her help in the case. A lot of key information was obtained from her interrogation during Ma Liu's operation, and she already knew it.
And even though he developed trust in her because of these things, he only told her the parts he could, and he controlled the degree very well.
From what she knew so far, this case was probably more complicated than she had imagined, and her current status did not allow her to ask more questions.
Of course, if they need it, she will do her best to help.
I don’t know if it was because of her presence, but the two comrades were very reserved along the way. They sat very straight for the several-hour ride. When Qin Yi asked them questions, they answered them in a serious manner and did not chat casually.
Su Tong would not take the initiative to talk about anything. He mostly slept during the bumpy journey.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the provincial capital of Ezhou.
Qin Yi arranged for her to stay in a guesthouse, let her rest first, and sent her back the next morning.
Seeing those people leaving in a hurry, they must have other things to do.
Su Tong washed his face. He had slept a lot on the way, so he didn't feel tired at the moment. He was about to go to the service desk to borrow paper and pen to sort out some ideas in his mind when he heard a knock on the door.
When she opened the door, she saw Lin Li standing outside with a net bag in his hand. He smiled when he saw her and said:
"Comrade Su, the boss and his men are out on a mission, so they asked me to bring you some food."
Su Tong hurriedly let him in. Lin Li placed the lunch boxes in the net bag on the table one by one and opened the lids. There was a braised pork, a scrambled egg, a large cabbage, and a large box of rice, all of which were quite filling.
Su Tong asked Lin Li: "Have you eaten yet? If not, let's eat together!"
Lin Li scratched his head and said, "The boss told me to make sure you eat well. I'll go back and eat later."
Su Tong picked up the chopsticks and pushed most of the scrambled eggs into the cabbage, then pushed one-third of the rice into the egg lunch box, and then handed the remaining rice to Lin Li.
"Come! Let's eat together! There are so many, I can't finish them all by myself."
There were extra chopsticks, and seeing that Su Tong had already divided the food, Lin Li didn't hesitate to take the lunch box and started eating.
The two chatted idly and soon finished several boxes of food.
Su Tong took the lunch box to the public washroom, washed it, and handed it to Lin Li, asking:
“Is this place far from the government compound?”
Liu Shiwen lives in the government compound. It is not yet eight o'clock, and she thought that if it is not far, she could go see Dongdong. Logically, she should also give Dongdong a follow-up visit.
“It’s a little far, but it’s not far to drive.”
Lin Li said happily: "I just happened to drive here, I'll take you there!"
"Won't it delay you if I send it to you?" Su Tong said.
"Won't!"
Lin Li was a little proud, "The boss didn't assign me any other tasks today, so I'll just deliver food to you."
At first, Su Tong felt that it was unnecessary to arrange for someone to deliver meals to her. There was a snack bar next to the guesthouse and she could completely solve it herself.
Even if they need to deliver meals, they can just send any other comrade. Lin Li has always been with Qin Yi, so he should be quite skilled. It should be more appropriate for him to carry out the mission than to deliver meals. But now it seems that things may not be that simple.
Lin Li said he wanted to take her there, so she didn't refuse and went to the government compound with Lin Li.
Unexpectedly, before I even entered the gate, the guard told me that Dongdong had a seizure and the whole family had rushed to the hospital ten minutes ago.
Su Tong immediately asked Lin Li to rush to the Provincial People's Hospital, where Dongdong had been receiving treatment.
When Lin Li heard that they had to go to the Provincial People's Hospital, he looked a little embarrassed, but Su Tong was anxious and didn't pay attention.
When Dongdong was delivered, there was a lot of noise, and his family members were of relatively high status, so Su Tong found them in the emergency room of the Provincial People's Hospital without much effort.
At that time, Dongdong was lying on the hospital bed with wet hair and eyes closed. Peng Hui was lying on the head of the bed crying, and Liu Shiwen was comforting her.
Dongdong's grandparents were talking to a doctor in a white coat with a worried look on their faces. Su Tong remembered that the doctor was the one who had worked with Professor Wen to treat Dongdong before. His surname was Zhang.
Doctor Zhang was the first to notice Su Tong standing at the door, and he immediately came forward excitedly.
"Comrade Wu! You arrived just in time."
Dongdong's illness was cured by Professor Wen and Su Tong together. The two attending doctors were not there, and he was helpless when Dongdong suddenly fell ill.
Physical illnesses are easy to cure, but he is no expert at treating mental illnesses!
Of course, Su Tong was still called Wu Tong at that time.
Everyone in the room was delighted to see Su Tong's arrival. Dongdong had been in good condition for so long since he was discharged from the hospital, but he didn't expect that he would become so seriously ill today. She came at a perfect time.
Su Tong went over to check on Dongdong. After not seeing him for such a short while, the child had obviously gained some weight and looked much better.
She felt Dongdong's pulse and found that his physical condition was much better than before. Perhaps it was because he had just experienced a big commotion and had consumed a lot of his energy. He was now sleeping soundly under the effect of the medicine.
Su Tong then learned about Dongdong's illness in detail. He said that he was sitting on a small stool reading a picture book after dinner today. He was reading peacefully when he suddenly screamed, and then cried and struggled. Even his mother would not let him get close to him. The family had no choice but to take great pains to send him to the hospital.
The doctor had no choice but to inject him with a sedative and he finally calmed down.
In order to help the doctor understand his condition, Liu Shiwen also brought several picture books.
Su Tong flipped through the books and found "Havoc in Heaven" and "Calabash Brothers". Dongdong must have seen some plots in the picture books that aroused his fear in his heart, causing his emotions to get out of control again.
After all, the fear and shadow that Ma Liu left him were always hidden deep in his heart, and would irritate him from time to time.
Su Tong asked Peng Hui to change Dongdong's sweaty clothes. She motioned for Dr. Zhang to come out and discuss the treatment method with him.
When walking out of the ward, Su Tong saw several people hurriedly walking in the circular corridor opposite. The one walking in front was clearly Cheng Gang, who had returned from Yuzhou with him today.
Su Tong looked back at Lin Li, who had been waiting outside the emergency room. He also saw Cheng Gang opposite him. When Su Tong looked at him, he smiled awkwardly, but avoided his gaze the next second.
Su Tong asked Dr. Zhang to wait for a moment, then she pulled Lin Li aside and asked in a low voice:
"Tell me the truth, has Ma Liu arrived yet?"
