Wenxi squatted down and turned the person over. When the flashlight shone on the person's face, Wenxi was startled. She didn't expect it to be Yan Zheng. The last time she met him, he was the spirited Director Yan. The next time she met him, he looked like he was on the verge of death.
Wen Xi quickly took out a life-saving pill from the system warehouse and fed it to Yan Zheng. Afterwards, she pulled open his clothes to check his wounds. He had been stabbed in the chest and abdomen. The stab to the chest was more fatal, probably because the other party was afraid that he wouldn't die, so they stabbed him again.
Wenxi didn't dare to waste any time and hurriedly sprinkled hemostatic powder on Yan Zheng. Then she dragged Yan Zheng away. Now that they were in town, there was no way to cheat. It was best to leave some trace of saving Yan Zheng. Otherwise, if others investigated the matter and there was no trace, they would definitely find it strange.
Unfortunately, the weather turned bad. Before they even left the alley, it started to rain. The drizzling raindrops hit their faces and hands, making Wenxi shiver.
Yan Zheng suffered a knife wound, which was different from Jin Changfeng's wound, and it wasn't as serious as Jin Changfeng's. The town's hospital should be able to handle it, so Wen Xi took Yan Zheng to the town's hospital.
After handing Yan Zheng over to the doctors and nurses, Wen Xi sat down on the ground. She was really cold and tired. Yan Zheng was such a big guy, he was really heavy.
A nurse brought over a towel. "Here, comrade, wipe yourself off!"
"Thank you!" Wen Xi gratefully reached out and took the towel, covering her hair with it before drying it. As she did so, she asked, "Comrade, may I borrow your phone? I need to contact the family of the injured person and ask them to come and arrange for hospitalization."
“Go ahead and do it!” the nurse said.
In this day and age, private phones seem to be rare. Wenxi didn't know if Yan Zheng's family had one. Yan Zheng only gave her the police station's phone number, so Wenxi had no choice but to call the police station. When the familiar voice answered, Wenxi said, "Hello, this is Wenxi. Yan Zheng from your police station is injured and is currently undergoing surgery at the town hospital. Could you please contact Yan Zheng's family?"
"Okay, I'll go find Director Yan's family right away."
Wenxi had called this number before, and this person answered the last time she called. This person is quite reliable and can deliver messages in a timely manner; otherwise, Yan Zheng wouldn't have been able to appear at the Harvest Brigade so promptly that time.
When Yan's father and mother arrived, they both looked extremely haggard, as if they had aged several years overnight. They didn't even care about Wenxi and stood anxiously waiting outside the operating room.
Wenxi knew that as the person involved, she needed to go to the police station to give a statement, so she did not leave. When the people from the police station came to take her to give a statement, the situation was completely different from the last time she came to give a statement. They took her to the interrogation room, did not even let her sit on a stool, and directly handcuffed her hands, making her squat in the corner. They treated her like a criminal.
This insulting attitude made Wenxi very angry. She had braved the rain to rescue Yan Zheng and take him to the hospital, and yet they treated her like this.
"Name."
The middle-aged man sitting behind the desk looked at Wen Xi with a gloomy expression. It was unclear whether it was because Yan Zheng was injured and the mission failed, or what else could have caused his grim face.
"Wenxi," Wenxi said helplessly as she looked at him.
From the provincial level to the commune, everyone praised her highly and awarded her certificates and prizes. She didn't believe they didn't know her name.
Sure enough, the man's brow twitched upon hearing her name, but his attitude remained unchanged. He still made her squat in the corner, his hand resting on his notebook, and asked indifferently, "Why are you there in the middle of the night? Are you with those people? Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. We hope you will report the truth, otherwise we will deal with you according to the law."
Wenxi was conflicted. She regretted getting involved in this mess, but she didn't regret saving Yan Zheng. Someone as outstanding and capable as him deserved to live a long and healthy life.
Only people like this can contribute to the construction of our motherland and make its future even brighter.
Wenxi: "I just happened to walk there."
She couldn't very well say that the sign-in system had taken her there, could she? She'd probably be taken away and dissected! She wanted to live a good life!
The man slammed his hand on the notebook. "Do you think I'm easy to fool? Who would be wandering the streets in the middle of the night? Do you even believe that yourself? Tell the truth now, or I'll charge you with harboring a criminal."
“I’ve only been in the countryside for two months and I don’t know many people. You’re saying I’m covering up for someone? Then tell me the name of the person I’m covering up so I can see if I know them or not. If I don’t know them, then you’re framing me. I can report this to the city or the province. I believe someone can clear my name.”
"Are you trying to scare me?" the man glared at Wen Xi.
"Aren't you trying to scare me? I said I just happened to walk there, but you didn't believe me. You insisted on putting me with that group of people. Who are they? What do they do? Are they really people that a young educated youth like me could know? To tell you the truth, you say I'm trying to scare you? How could a helpless young educated youth like me dare to scare you?"
I should have just gone home instead of waiting at the hospital.
That won't work either. If they go to the village to arrest her, rumors will spread, and it will be difficult to refute them.
"Behave yourself..."
"I really just happened to walk there. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
The man put down his pen, stood up, and walked towards Wenxi. Seeing his gloomy face, Wenxi fearfully shrank to the side along the wall. "I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll tell the truth. I have a crush on a doctor at the county hospital. I know I'm not good enough for him, and I don't dare confess to him, so I was out taking a walk to vent my frustrations..."
Wen Xi cried as she spoke, looking like a pitiful little thing. "Is it wrong for me to have a crush on someone? Is it wrong for me to save Director Yan? Is it wrong for me to do a good deed? Or is it that you didn't want Director Yan to be saved, that you wanted Director Yan to die, and that I ruined your plans, so you're angry and embarrassed?"
"Don't talk nonsense." The man turned back to his seat with a calm expression and continued writing. "A doctor from the county hospital? Which doctor?"
Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, not expecting that they would even inquire about her personal feelings.
Under the man's sharp, eagle-like gaze, Wen Xi had no choice but to reveal He Chen'an's name.
Hopefully, He Chen'an can be more cooperative and say that they know each other and have met before.
Otherwise, before Yan Zheng wakes up, not only will she be unable to clear her name, but she might also delay their arrest and give the real suspect time to escape.
