Chapter 110: Rescued
Confused, Linlang slowly opened her eyes.
Where is this? There's a patch of white in the distance. Is that the ceiling?
The dull pain at the back of her head reminded her that before she lost consciousness, she was under the banyan tree in the middle of the flower garden, admiring the colorful flowers in the garden.
"If you don't find me, don't blame me for making a mess here!"
Linlang clearly heard a familiar voice arguing with someone. She concentrated carefully and finally remembered - it was Luo Mei!
"Miss, there's really nothing we can do." It was a man's voice, and it seemed to sound familiar.
That's right! It was Duke Feng, the medical student I spoke to earlier. If that were the case... I was currently in the hospital.
"Call the person in charge of your hospital! I don't believe that this place has become a lawless place? It would be fine if no one knew about the beating, but I happened to run into him in broad daylight. He did such a despicable thing and you still dared to run away?" Luo Mei yelled angrily outside the house.
"I understand your feelings, but... our hospital director is not available to see guests right now..."
Linlang coughed intentionally or unintentionally. Luo Mei, who was outside, heard the noise and hurried back into the house.
"Hey, you're awake?" Luo Mei's anger turned into joy when he saw Linlang stand up.
"here it is……"
"In the hospital's inpatient ward. You were hit by a club, luckily I arrived just in time. If I hadn't been unable to let you go, I would have chased him down and given him a beating!"
"Did you see who attacked me?"
Luo Mei scratched his head. "He was a short old man, about sixty or seventy years old, but he was quite nimble. After I stopped him, he ran away really fast! He slipped into the weeds beside the river in the northwest part of the garden. I think he knocked you out with a rake, so he might be the gardener of this garden."
Linlang narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment, "So, he doesn't want to kill me, he just wants to drive me away?"
"Ah? You were beaten unconscious, and you're still saying nice things to that guy?"
"He used a rake. If he wanted to kill me, he could have just driven the iron point through my head. I would have died instantly. But he just knocked me unconscious with the wooden handle of the rake. Doesn't that prove something?"
Luo Mei thought that was indeed the case. "If he wanted to drive you away, he could have just said something. Why would he attack you? Does this person have a violent tendency?"
Linlang shook her head helplessly. "I don't know about that. Hey, tell me about yourself. Why did you come here suddenly?"
"It was Brother Yin's arrangement. The two of them and I split up. He and Du Yunzhang ran into your former military rival, General Wan, at the Lu family's house, and gave chase. Before they left, they asked me to reunite with you. I followed the canal tributary to the diversion tunnel and discovered the mark you left. We hurried along until we finally got here."
"So, Brother Yin has solved all the murders that happened in the Lu family?"
"Yes, he solved it beautifully. His reasoning was flawless, and he also uncovered the true identity of the Flying Thief Feng Shijiu. But... the ending was very sad." Luo Mei told Linlang in detail the tragic ending of the Lu family murder case.
When she finished, Linlang couldn't help but sigh, "Alas! Why bother? This tragedy could have been avoided. The real culprit is actually those decadent feudal ideas of favoring boys over girls. Let's not talk about that anymore. Luo Mei, what were you arguing about just now?"
"Hey, I'm just trying to stand up for you. I asked Dr. Feng here where to find that gardener, but he kept making excuses. He wouldn't answer my questions and said the hospital director wasn't available to see guests. How could I not be angry?"
As the two chatted, someone pushed the door open and walked in. Linlang and Luo Mei turned to see a female doctor in a white coat, holding a tray with medicine bottles. "Is this Miss Lin, who just arrived?" she asked, looking at Linlang.
Linlang could recognize that this female doctor had just attended the church service.
"Yes, you are a doctor in this hospital?"
The female doctor nodded and put the tray aside. "My last name is Yun, Vina Yun, and I major in gynecology. Just call me Doctor Yun."
Seeing the female doctor with a smile on her face, wearing round-framed glasses and a pigtail draped behind her head, Linlang felt a sense of intimacy with her. "Doctor Yun, am I alright?"
Vina Yun smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, although the back of the head was hit hard, fortunately there is no bone damage, it's just a slight concussion, and I will be fine after resting for half a day. Is this girl your friend?" She glanced at Luo Mei.
"That's right, if I hadn't arrived in time and driven the bad guys away, she might have died in the garden!" Luo Mei said angrily.
Vina Yun gave a thumbs-up. "Miss Lin, I'm so envious of you for having a friend like you!" She took two bottles of medicine from the tray beside her. "This is for internal use, twice a day. This is for external application. I'll help you apply it when I change the dressing later."
Linlang nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Doctor Yun."
"You studied gynecology, how come you are so good at external injuries?" Luo Mei couldn't help asking.
"Trauma treatment is a basic skill for doctors. You need to know it no matter what subject you study." She poured out two pills, handed them to Linlang, and then handed her a glass of water.
Linlang tilted her head back to swallow the medicine, drank some water, and returned the cup to Vina Yun.
"Okay, I'll come change your dressing during dinner. You should have a good rest."
At this point, she was about to get up and leave. Linlang hurriedly stopped her, "Wait a moment, Doctor Yun."
"What else?"
"Hmm..." Linlang thought for a moment, "Can you tell me how many women around 20 years old are there in this hospital?"
Vina Yun frowned, "Why do you ask this?"
"I'm just curious. A small hospital like yours shouldn't have a lot of doctors and nurses, right? Not to mention they're all Christians."
"As for the doctors, I'm the only female one. There are two female nurses around 20 years old. One is called Chen Yi, a local, and the other is called Kate, a Scottish girl."
Linlang nodded. "What about the nuns in the church? I only know of Sister Anne. Are there any other girls?"
"There's another one called Tess. Although it's an English name, she's actually a genuine Chinese girl."
It seems that Yu Zhenzhu's female attendant must be one of these three people, Linlang pondered secretly.
"Okay, enough chatting, you need to rest." She raised her hand to look at the watch, "Your friend shouldn't bother you here all the time, you should have a good sleep, I'll come back for dinner." After saying that, Vina Yun turned and walked out of the ward.
Luo Mei watched Vina Yun leave, then watched cautiously from the doorway for a while before returning to ask Lin Lang, "Do you suspect the person you're tracking is in this hospital?"
"It's very likely! So I might as well stay here for a while, using the excuse of recuperation as an excuse to observe which of these people in the hospital is the real one."
"How do you feel now?"
"I'm fine. It's just a knock on the head. It's not like I haven't been knocked on the head before. It's no big deal."
Luo Mei nodded. "That's good. I will definitely not let the evil gardener who attacked you go! I will catch him and ask him why he attacked you, and then kowtow to you and apologize!"
"Don't make any more trouble. I don't take it to heart. Let's get down to business."
"I don't care. After all, you're someone Brother Yin cares about. If anything happens to you, I can't answer to them. So, you just stay in the hospital peacefully. I'll be responsible for your safety. At the same time, I'll find that evil gardener and let him know the price of attacking you!"
Linlang knew that Luo Mei was a man of his word and could only smile helplessly.
