Chapter 40



Jiang Yubai saw that Shen Qingli was hesitant to speak, so he said directly: "Xiao Li, how come we have studied together for several years, can we not be considered friends?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingli subconsciously bit her lower lip. The faint tooth mark seemed to be a mark of her inner entanglement.

Afterwards, she tried to force out an awkward smile, but her eyes revealed a trace of loneliness and helplessness that was difficult to conceal, and she slowly said: "I was actually suspended from the hospital."

Jiang Yubai was slightly startled, and the image of her dejected look when they met by the river flashed through his mind, "Is that the one when I met you by the river?"

Shen Qingli nodded gently and responded softly: "Yeah."

"What exactly is the reason? How could it be so serious that he was suspended?"

Jiang Yubai's brows wrinkled slightly, his eyes full of confusion and worry.

Shen Qingli secretly sighed inwardly. She certainly couldn't bring up the matter of her divorce with Zhou Yanchen. She just said vaguely, "I made a mistake."

“I was out for an hour during work, and when I came back, I was told that my patient had a massive lung hemorrhage.

But I went to see the patient before I left, and he was apparently in a stable condition.”

Jiang Yubai's sharp eyes stayed on Shen Qingli's face for a moment, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he asked tentatively: "Were you framed?"

"Well, I am sure about this." Shen Qingli raised his head slightly, with a firm look in his eyes.

"I now have two pieces of evidence in my hands, but I'm afraid it's not enough to make her plead guilty."

Jiang Yubai looked at her deeply, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate her soul, seeing the fatigue and obsession deep inside her, "So you are going to collect evidence again now?"

"I may not be able to collect them. I'm just trying my luck." Shen Qingli's voice contained a hint of helplessness and self-mockery.

Jiang Yubai didn't say anything more. He just took off his coat silently and draped it over Shen Qingli's shoulders very naturally, as if he had practiced this action countless times.

He looked at her with a hint of teasing and concern in his eyes: "Where are you going to try your luck? A bar?"

"She likes to go dancing and drinking after get off work, so... I want to see if I can wait for her after get off work." Shen Qingli explained softly.

Jiang Yubai raised his hand and looked at the time. It was almost half past four. His tone became crisp and decisive:

"She's your colleague, right? It's already past four o'clock, so we should get going."

Shen Qingli looked up at him in surprise, with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes: "Brother, do you want to go with me?"

"Do you want to go to a place like that alone?"

"Definitely bring a bodyguard. Let's go. My car is on the upper floor."

As Jiang Yubai spoke, he turned and walked forward, his back revealing a reassuring calmness and reliability.

Shen Qingli looked at his receding back, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

If he were to go with me, I would feel more confident in that mixed place.

After all, a bar is a place where all kinds of people come and go, and anything unexpected can happen.

She quickly took the bag of high heels from the car, locked the car, and quickly chased after him.

The two came to the parking lot above, and Shen Qingli's eyes followed Jiang Yubai's figure until they came to a car.

There was a flash of surprise in her eyes, "Brother, are we going to drive this car?"

As he spoke, he showed some hesitation and concern, "Is this too exaggerated?"

Under the lighting of the parking lot, the car exuded a low-key and luxurious atmosphere.

Shen Qingli knew that this car was worth tens of millions. If he drove it to a place like a bar, it would be out of place and would inevitably attract attention.

Jiang Yubai seemed to see through her thoughts, and with a slight smile on his face, he explained:

"I bought this from a local dealer, it didn't cost me much.

Besides, many people go to places like that and eat according to their preferences.”

"Get in the car, there's no time to waste."

As he spoke, Jiang Yubai walked straight to the other side of the car and opened the passenger door for Shen Qingli like a gentleman. His movements were smooth and elegant, showing his thoughtfulness and grace.

Shen Qingli saw Jiang Yubai was so determined, although she had some doubts, she also understood that time was running out and it was not appropriate to make any more entanglements.

She leaned forward slightly and sat in the passenger seat. Jiang Yubai closed the door gently, then quickly walked around to the driver's seat and sat in neatly.

The car started, Jiang Yubai skillfully controlled the steering wheel and asked, "Are we going to the hospital now?"

"Well, I'm going to wait for her until she gets off work."

Jiang Yubai turned his head slightly, and seeing her serious look, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his lips, "Okay, but don't worry too much, Xiaoli, the truth will always come out."

"Just as dark clouds can never cover the sun, darkness is only temporary, and light will surely come."

His words seemed to have a magical power, gently brushing away some of the haze in Shen Qingli's heart.

Shen Qingli tilted his head slightly, his eyes fell on Jiang Yubai's face, the gratitude and trust in his eyes were clearly visible, "Thank you, Senior Brother, it seems that you were sent by the master to help me."

When Jiang Yubai heard this, a warm current surged in his heart. He followed her words and teased:

"It is my pleasure to serve this beautiful and kind lady. It is my honor to be your helper."

His voice is deep and magnetic, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness.

During the conversation with Jiang Yubai, the haze in Shen Qingli's heart gradually dissipated, and she began to relax, no longer as tense as before.

They drove on and soon arrived at the underground parking lot of Union Hospital.

Shen Qingli has worked with Huang Shanshan for a long time and has some understanding of her daily habits. She knows that her car is often parked in a fixed location.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to find Huang Shanshan's car accurately.

Jiang Yubai's eyes quickly scanned the surrounding environment, his eyes revealed a hint of sharpness and decisiveness. Then, he lightly stepped on the accelerator and slowly drove the car to the opposite side of Huang Shanshan's car and stopped.

This position allows them to clearly observe Huang Shanshan's every move, while ensuring that she can hardly notice their presence.

They sat quietly in the car, waiting for the main character to appear.

At 12:40, the person they were waiting for finally appeared in their sight.

"Brother, she's here."
