Gu Chengze stood there, stunned, looking helpless: "What time is it? Why are you still worried about others?"
He sat down in front of He Lingchuan, both anxious and angry: "What were you thinking back then? You actually took a knife for Professor Zhao. Weren't you afraid of getting disemboweled yourself?"
He Lingchuan sighed, only now realizing the pain: "Back then, I didn't think about anything else. I just hoped Professor Zhao wouldn't get hurt."
He Lingchuan, enduring the pain, reached out and gripped Gu Chengze tightly: "Tell me the truth, is Professor Zhao alright? He couldn't possibly be...?"
He Lingchuan could tell that Xu Fei was after Professor Zhao. He had already been detained by the police for spreading rumors, and even if Professor Zhao agreed to let him return to the school, the chances of him going back to school were slim.
Given Professor Zhao's personality, he would never accept such a student.
Unfortunately, Xu Fei's family situation was not good, otherwise he would not have spread rumors for the sake of Zhou Mingyan's small favor.
He knew perfectly well the seriousness of being caught, but he still took a chance, which was also related to his family.
He Lingchuan sat on the bed and sighed, his words full of regret and disappointment: "Actually, Xu Fei is a very promising talent. Professor Zhao told me before that he admired him very much. He even thought about helping Xu Fei apply for a national scholarship. I really didn't expect..."
Before Xu Fei spread the rumors, Professor Zhao had already spoken to the principal about his family situation and planned to reduce his tuition fees. He never expected Xu Fei to be so impulsive and do such a thing.
Gu Chengze reached out and gently patted He Lingchuan's shoulder to comfort him: "There's no point in thinking about these things now. With Xu Fei's personality, he's bound to get into trouble sooner or later. You and Professor Zhao are just the fuse. Just stop thinking about it."
He Lingchuan lowered his head, feeling genuinely sorry for Xu Fei.
However, just as Gu Chengze said, Xu Fei's personality meant that she was bound to get into trouble sooner or later.
He didn't want to get involved too much.
As for Professor Zhao, He Lingchuan plans to visit him once he has recovered. Given Professor Zhao's personality, he will definitely seek justice for him.
He was really worried that Xu Fei would go back to him.
He Lingchuan was preoccupied with something on his mind, and the pain from his wound kept him awake all night.
The next morning, when Shen Yanxi came to see him, she couldn't help but scold Gu Chengze: "I really don't know how some people manage to accompany someone in bed, how they can look at someone like this? You didn't have such big dark circles under your eyes yesterday, but today you look like a panda."
"It was my fault for not watching carefully."
Gu Chengze, unusually, didn't argue with Shen Yanxi. He looked at He Lingchuan's dark circles and felt full of guilt.
"It's none of your business. I couldn't sleep yesterday because I was thinking about things."
He Lingchuan offered a few words of comfort, then looked at Shen Yanxi: "Where are the children? Why did you come so early today?"
He instinctively wanted to tell Shen Yanxi to go back, but then he heard her coldly say, "With Mingyan here, you can rest assured."
"You entrusted the children to Zhou Mingyan?"
He Lingchuan suddenly stood up, but his strength was so great that he pulled on the knife, causing him to wince in pain.
“What’s wrong with entrusting them to Mingyan? I came to see you because there’s no one to take care of the children, so I have no choice but to entrust them to him.”
"You should hand the child over to the housekeeper or send it to your mother. How could you give the child to Zhou Mingyan?"
He Lingchuan's tone grew increasingly harsh; he even wanted to get out of bed to find Zhou Mingyan.
He was so angry that his face turned pale, and he couldn't stop coughing: "That person is completely unreliable. Xu Fei is still at large. Who knows what he might do?"
Shen Yanxi looked at him, her patience completely gone: "Aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill? How could Mingyan possibly hurt a child?"
"I'm not saying his nonsense will harm the child, I mean... cough cough."
He Lingchuan couldn't even finish a complete sentence. He looked at Shen Yanxi with some impatience: "Forget it, I don't want to talk to you. Take me to Zhou Mingyan now and bring the child back to me."
"Bring them back? Then they'll know you're injured, won't they? Didn't you not want them to see you like this?"
Shen Yanxi looked at him with some dissatisfaction, her face turning pale: "He Lingchuan, stop fooling around. The children will definitely be frightened if they see you like this."
Shen Yanxi pressed He Lingchuan back onto the bed with one hand, coldly warning him, "Don't cause me any more trouble."
He Lingchuan squinted and glared at Shen Yanxi: "I never said I wanted you to take care of me. You came on your own."
He Lingchuan's tone was cold, even tinged with anger: "Your behavior makes me suspect that you simply don't want to see the child."
"He Lingchuan, are you even human? Those are my children. How can I entrust them to others? I had no other choice. I was just worried about you."
Shen Yanxi looked at the person on the bed with a wronged expression. She would come to visit He Lingchuan every day after get off work, and she would think about cooking delicious meals for him every day. For him, she even neglected her child.
What makes He Lingchuan so certain about her?
Shen Yanxi looked aggrieved, and her eyes were filled with resentment as she looked at He Lingchuan.
Faced with her questioning, He Lingchuan shrugged indifferently: "What's the use of telling me all this? What I see is you handing the child over to Zhou Mingyan and running off here to escape the hustle and bustle."
"I don't."
Shen Yanxi looked at him with displeasure, her face darkening.
“Whether you have it or not, under these circumstances, you should not hand the child over to Zhou Mingyan.”
He Lingchuan deliberately angered Shen Yanxi, forcing her to go find the children: "Bring the children to me now. I'd rather they be afraid of me than hand them over to Zhou Mingyan."
“You’re being completely unreasonable. Those two children have nothing to do with Mingyan. If it weren’t for us…”
"No, he's just trying to please you, it has nothing to do with me."
He Lingchuan stared at Shen Yanxi, and seeing that she didn't move, he simply got out of bed himself: "You're not going, are you? I'll go by myself. Tell me where the child is."
Shen Yanxi frowned, trying to stop Zhou Mingyan: "What's wrong with you? You're not fit enough to get out of bed right now."
"Then you'd better find the child for me right now."
Shen Yanxi looked helpless. If she found the child now, wouldn't that be the same as admitting that Zhou Mingyan was unreliable?
She turned her head away, her face stubborn: "Your prejudice against Mingyan is too deep."
She looked at He Lingchuan with displeasure: "I feel at ease leaving the child with him."
As soon as Shen Yanxi finished speaking, she received a call from Zhou Mingyan.
His tone was extremely anxious: "Xixi, Xixi, I'm so sorry, I..."
Shen Yanxi frowned, realizing something, and raised her voice: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Xixi, Nanchen, he... he's gone."
