Shen Qingchen stood on the street across from the hospital, his figure hidden in the shadow of a large tree, his gaze fixed on the hospital gate. Like a silent statue, he had been staring silently for a long time, as if time had lost its meaning to him. Passersby hurried by, no one noticed the man in a dark windbreaker, his eyes deep and complex.
The morning sun shone softly on the hospital buildings. As work hours approached, the number of people at the hospital entrance gradually increased. Nurses, dressed in pristine white uniforms, walked briskly toward the hospital. Doctors, some serious-looking, some whispering about cases, also entered the main entrance one after another. Shen Qingchen's gaze never left his gaze, as he waited for that familiar figure.
Finally, he saw Jiang Zhi. She was wearing a light blue doctor's coat, her long black hair tied in a simple ponytail, a few strands of hair hanging down her cheeks, swaying gently with her steps. Her face was focused, and she was holding a medical record in her hand, quickly browsing through it as she walked, seeming to be completely immersed in the work she was about to begin. Shen Qingchen's eyes softened instantly, love and regret intertwined in his eyes. He knew that this woman before him had once been the brightest light in his life, but he had hurt her with his own hands, leaving her in an abyss of pain.
He vividly remembered every detail of his time with Jiang Zhi, and those sweet memories now felt like a sharp blade piercing his heart. Whenever he recalled the time they had spent together, he wished he could go back and change his foolish decision. But reality was like an insurmountable wall, trapping him in regret. All he could do was protect her from the shadows, minimizing the suffering she might endure.
At that moment, several thug-like men suddenly appeared at the hospital entrance. They were dressed in shabby clothes, and their eyes were filled with ill intentions. They lingered at the hospital entrance for a while, then set their sights on Jiang Zhi as she was walking towards the hospital. One of the thugs, with a wicked smile on his face, walked towards Jiang Zhi, and the others followed behind, surrounding her.
Shen Qingchen's eyes instantly became sharp. He leaned forward slightly, clenched his fists, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. He would never allow anyone to harm Jiang Zhi, even with the slightest threat. He quickly took out his phone and whispered an order, arranging for his men to rush over and deal with these thugs immediately. At the same time, his eyes never left Jiang Zhi, ready to rush over to protect her if necessary.
The leading gangster walked up to Jiang Zhi, blocked her way, and said some frivolous words: "Beauty, are you alone? How about playing with the brothers?" Jiang Zhi frowned, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. She tried to bypass the gangster and continue walking, but the other few people surrounded her, making it impossible for her to escape.
"Get out of the way!" Jiang Zhi's voice was cold and firm, but the gangsters had no intention of moving aside. Instead, they laughed even more arrogantly.
Just as the hooligans were about to pull Jiang Zhi away, Shen Qingchen's men appeared like divine soldiers from the sky. They were well-trained and quickly pulled the hooligans away from Jiang Zhi and subdued them. The whole process was clean and neat, leaving the hooligans no chance to resist.
Jiang Zhi looked at this scene in surprise, her eyes full of confusion. She didn't know where these people came from and why they suddenly came to help her. Shen Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Jiang Zhi was safe. He still stood in the corner, watching Jiang Zhi silently. He saw Jiang Zhi thank those who helped her, and those people just nodded briefly and then left quickly.
Jiang Zhi watched the backs of those people leaving, her heart full of curiosity, but she didn't have time to think about it, because there were still many patients waiting for her in the hospital. She tidied her clothes and turned to walk into the hospital. Shen Qingchen watched her back disappear into the hospital gate, then slowly turned around and prepared to leave.
However, he did not go far. He found a cafe near the hospital and sat by the window, where he could clearly see the hospital gate. He ordered a cup of coffee, but did not want to taste it. He just sat quietly, his eyes looking in the direction of the hospital from time to time. He knew that Jiang Zhi might encounter various problems in the hospital, and he wanted to make sure she was safe at all times.
In the afternoon, sunlight streamed through the windows onto the cafe tables, creating patches of light. Shen Qingchen sat there, his phone constantly receiving reports about Jiang Zhi's safety. He carefully scrutinized each message, not missing a single detail. He knew that a mysterious organization was constantly eyeing Jiang Zhi, and he couldn't afford to let his guard down.
Suddenly, his phone screen lit up. It was a message from his men that a suspicious person had appeared near the hospital. Shen Qingchen immediately became alert. He put down the coffee cup in his hand, stood up and walked towards the hospital. His pace was fast, but he tried to keep a low profile, not wanting to attract other people's attention.
When he walked near the hospital, he saw several sneaky figures. They were dressed in ordinary clothes, but their eyes were looking around. They obviously did not look like people who came to the hospital for treatment. Shen Qingchen followed them quietly, observing their every move. After these suspicious people circled around the hospital a few times, they seemed to have found no opportunities and were about to leave. Shen Qingchen did not let them go. He quietly arranged for his men to follow these people and make sure to find out their identities and purpose.
After returning to the cafe, Shen Qingchen sat back down, his brow furrowed, his heart filled with worry. He knew that the threat from the mysterious organization was growing, and he had to protect Jiang Zhi more closely. He began to think about whether to add more manpower or take some other protective measures.
