The unassuming man dressed in cheap clothes was actually Murong Xiao? And that mute woman was actually Murong Xiao's wife?!
This is impossible, absolutely impossible!
Wu Gao's legs went weak, and he would have knelt on the ground if the people next to him hadn't been supporting him.
At that moment, the police station door was suddenly opened, and four or five leaders walked in, escorting a middle-aged man.
They first scanned the hall, then fixed their gaze on Feng Jianian, bowing deeply to him: "Master Xiao... it's because your subordinates were incompetent that you and your wife have been wronged. This is Wang Xiangui and Wang Chuan; they are the ones who hurt your wife."
The person who arrived was none other than Shao Guojun, the director of the police headquarters. Upon hearing the news, he rushed over to handle the situation immediately.
Wang Xiangui and Wang Chuan were already terrified. Who would have thought that a mute woman was actually Murong Xiao's wife? Otherwise, even if they had the guts, they wouldn't dare to do anything reckless!
"Master Xiao, I know I was wrong..."
"Master Xiao, my nephew didn't mean it. Please forgive us this time, as you are a magnanimous person!"
The two looked extremely nervous and apprehensive.
"My wife was injured like this, and all you say is 'forgive me'?" Murong Xiao sneered.
The two men trembled slightly, and Shao Guojun, who was standing nearby, quickly chimed in, "I'll investigate immediately, find all the real culprits as soon as possible, and hold the perpetrators accountable!"
"No."
Murong Xiao stood up and looked down at the two of them: "Enjoy today's sunset. It's the last time, so don't miss it." After saying that, he left the police station with Xiang Jin.
Wang Xiangui and Wang Chuan were stunned.
It took them a long time to realize the meaning of that sentence, and they were so frightened that they couldn't even cry anymore.
……………………
Xiang Jin was taken to the hospital.
After a day and a night of treatment and rest, she woke up in the evening of the second day.
The ward was dark, with the lights off, and I could vaguely see someone standing by the window.
Is it Carnival?
Did he manage to get himself out of the water?
Xiang Jin tried to call him, but couldn't make a sound. She looked around and then threw her drawing board on the ground.
"Clang—"
The sound was quite loud, and he heard it, turning around and walking inside.
"Jianian, how are Shuangshuang and Grandpa Liu?" Xiang Jin's right hand was injured, so she could only write with her left hand. She wrote slowly, so he patiently waited beside her.
"Don't worry, they're fine and recovering in the hospital."
Knowing they were her friends, she brought them along. Their injuries were also quite serious; they were still unconscious, but they were all external wounds and would heal after some time.
"That's good." Xiang Jin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him with a smile.
They hadn't seen each other for almost a month, and when they suddenly met again, they felt a strange mix of nervousness and warmth, even a faint sense of...missing each other.
"What are you laughing at?" he asked. The fox-like eyes in front of him were bright and captivating, making him feel a little itchy.
"It's nothing, I just feel very happy."
She didn't know why, but seeing him suddenly made her feel better, as if everything had cleared up after the storm. Was this the self-healing ability of family?
She... has already considered him family?
"Silly girl, you're still happy even after being beaten up like this." He ruffled her hair, completely unaware that the gesture was overly intimate.
Xiang Jin lowered her head, her nose slightly red, as if she were a little embarrassed.
"By the way, Jianian, have you finished your work? Do you need to work overtime?" she asked quickly.
"Everything's taken care of. I've taken leave from work so I can spend a few more days with you."
"No need, no need, you just do your own thing, I don't need to keep you company." Xiang Jin suddenly remembered something, looked around the ward, and her expression changed. "Jianian, I'm staying in a VIP ward, isn't I?"
Feng Jianian paused slightly: "This is the only hospital left, so..."
She panicked, threw off the covers, and tried to get out of bed: "I...I'm fine now, let's go through the discharge procedures!"
Twenty thousand a day... She still owes Murong Xiao money and hasn't paid it back. She has no savings, so how can she afford to squander money?
Feng Jianian stopped her.
"Ah Qi, with me here, are you still worried about not being able to afford the medical bills?" he teased her with a smile.
Xiang Jin felt a little embarrassed. Had she hurt his pride with her actions? However, he didn't earn much, and she was only thinking about their future: "It's okay, Jianian. Even if we're poor now, things will get better in the future."
"Ah Qi is a rich young lady, is she willing to suffer with me?"
"Of course, a woman should follow her husband wherever he goes, whether he's a chicken or a dog..." As she wrote, she slowly stopped writing, her ears turning slightly red.
Why does this sentence sound like a love confession... Sigh, she just wrote it down on a whim, I hope Jianian won't misunderstand.
She hid the easel behind her back.
Feng Jianian stopped her.
He said, "Ah Qi, I'm very happy. But I can't let you suffer."
He helped her lie down on the bed: "Don't worry, this hospital has a partnership with our company, so you can stay in this ward for free until you are discharged. You should rest well, and I'll get you some food."
After saying that, he didn't look at her again and turned to walk out of the ward.
……………………
Xiang Jin stayed in the hospital for more than half a month.
Because of a hand injury, I was unable to work and had to ask for leave from the warehouse.
After her injuries improved, Xiang Jin went to visit Bai Ningshuang and Grandpa Liu. Grandpa Liu's injuries were more serious, and the doctor said he needed to rest more. Not wanting to disturb him, Xiang Jin went to Bai Ningshuang's ward to chat with her.
