Chapter 120 Brother is Back



Qi Nuan was in a coma for two days. When she woke up, she had been rushed to the hospital and was staying in the same luxurious suite ward as before.

The attending physician said that although her wound was quite deep and required over fifty stitches, the main cause of her illness was heavy bleeding. Fortunately, her internal organs were not damaged, so she survived.

Lu Yin was stabbed four times in the back, the wounds varying in depth, and he lost too much blood during the fierce fight with the kidnappers. The emergency surgery lasted more than seven hours, and blood bags were used three times.

Fortunately, the four knife attacks did not injure Lu Yin's spine. The doctor said that this was his fate.

Qi Nuan didn't think so, because Lu Yin was still in the intensive care unit and had not woken up yet.

The fear of losing him made her unable to lie quietly in the hospital bed and wait.

During the shift change, Qi Nuan secretly got out of bed and wandered to Lu Yin's ward. As a direct result, her wound opened again due to her careless walking.

After the incision was re-stitched, Zhao Yu arranged for someone to watch over Qi Nuan 24 hours a day. Knowing that she couldn't move around without Lu Yin, she lay quietly in bed and cooperated with the treatment.

During this period, police officers came to have a brief communication with Qi Nuan. They said that one of the kidnappers had escaped and was being pursued. At present, they had not yet obtained any definite and effective evidence to incriminate the person behind the scenes. After the prosecution made a conclusion, they would send someone to formally inform her of the result.

The young police officer Pei especially thanked Qi Nuan and Lu Yin for their support and cooperation in the police operation. He showed concern for Lu Yin's condition and also said a lot to comfort Qi Nuan.

After Zhao Yu's later explanation, Qi Nuan realized that this Officer Pei was the second son of the Pei family, the husband of his sister Zhao Ying, and he had been in contact with Lu Yin for a long time.

Not only this kidnapping case, but also the previous accident at Qi Nuan's welcome party, Lu Yin shared the information he found with Officer Pei as soon as possible.

Qi Nuan simply nodded to indicate that she understood, without asking any more questions. She was only concerned about one thing: when Lu Yin would wake up.

She would ask Zhao Yu, who came to observe her, such questions more than ten times a day.

But the responses I got were all comforting words like "we're out of danger", which sounded like lies.

Zhao Yu was not only Lu Yin's assistant, but also his best childhood playmate. Naturally, he blamed Qi Nuan for dragging Lu Yin down. Otherwise, with his skill and alertness, he wouldn't have been so easily injured.

Therefore, he was somewhat indifferent to Qi Nuan. He only answered with a white lie because he saw that she was also a patient, but his comfort was not sincere.

How could Qi Nuan not see that this was a white lie, and naturally she felt even more panicked.

She even dreamed more than once of the doctor announcing the man's death and the body covered with a white cloth and no longer breathing.

Every time she woke up, she was in tears.

She told herself that they were all dreams, but she couldn't help but feel ominous.

The physical pain and mental torment made Qi Nuan increasingly haggard. Doctors injected large amounts of medication into her body every day, but her wounds, even after being stitched up, did not heal.

Seeing that Qi Nuan, who had just been able to walk after the operation, could not even get out of bed, Zhao Yu finally could not sit still. He secretly contacted his brother-in-law and asked him to send the undercover agent he had just found to talk to Qi Nuan.

Hearing that there was a visitor, Qi Nuan sat up with the help of Zhao Yu and the nurse. The man who pushed the door open shocked her.

"Thank goodness you're safe."

The man who was speaking had half of his face covered with old scars, which obscured his originally handsome features. His voice and tone were the same as when he spoke to her brother, which made her tears overflow instantly.

"Oh, don't cry, the wound will hurt more, my silly sister."

Qi Jun quickly stepped forward and held Qi Nuan in his arms. Like when they were little, he gently stroked her back with his palm, hoping that she would stop crying quickly.

Perhaps because she had a good cry in her brother's arms and released some of the pressure in her heart, Qi Nuan felt better.

After stopping her tears, she calmed down and asked Qi Jun what happened and why he didn't come back earlier after so many years.

Qi Jun first took the nutritious meal brought by Zhao Yu, and half-fed and half-coaxed Qi Nuan to eat most of it, and then told her about his experience.

It turned out that Qi Jun and Lu Qianer's doctor fiancé were good friends. They had evidence that Qi Meng's biological mother was killed by Gu Tingze's wife who bribed the attending doctor. They were about to go to the police station to expose the case, but the doctor found out and informed Mrs. Gu.

Therefore, the boat the two were on was blown up and then disguised as an accident scene.

Qi Jun's friend died instantly and his body sank into the sea, while Qi Jun's face was disfigured and his brain was damaged by the impact. After being rescued, he was in a coma for a long time. When he woke up, he had lost his memory and was taken to Italy by his benefactor to live for several years.

It was not until more than eight months ago that Liu Cheng went to Italy on a business trip and met Qi Jun by chance. He then persuaded him to undergo a series of treatments, and Qi Jun's memory slowly recovered.

He learned from Liu Cheng that his sister Qi Nuan had married Lu Yin, and his son was currently studying and living with the children of Lu's family and Lu Qianer's family.

After careful consideration, Qi Jun contacted Lu Yin directly through Liu Cheng. He then met with Lu Qian'er and explained the reason for his friend's murder.

At that time, there was a precedent that Tang Yinghai and Lawyer Zheng were killed, but the murderer Gu family was still able to stay out of the matter. The three of them made a plan and, for safety reasons, temporarily concealed the news that Qi Jun was alive.

At the same time, Lu Yin and Officer Pei teamed up, and Qi Jun used his experience of living in Italy to disguise his identity and infiltrate the kidnappers as an undercover agent to collect evidence that the Gu family was the mastermind behind the scenes.

But he didn't expect that the first "case" he was involved in was the kidnapping of his own sister.

He arrived later and was under strict surveillance. That day, he finally found an opportunity to secretly contact Lu Yin and asked him to rescue Qi Nuan. He also gave Qi Nuan the key. However, he did not expect that the Gu family suddenly had an internal conflict, and the two groups unexpectedly started fighting, disrupting their plans.

"I'm sorry, it was my brother who asked me to keep it a secret from you. If I had listened to Lu Yin and recognized you earlier, perhaps you wouldn't have been hurt."

Qi Jun felt very guilty because he was unable to personally protect his sister down the mountain that day because he was chasing the middleman who took the commission.

Qi Nuan shook her head and comforted her brother, saying that what he was doing was for the greater good, and that only when the bad guys in the Gu family were caught could they live a safe and stable life in the future.

"Lu Yin will be fine." Qi Jun patted the back of Qi Nuan's hand, "He promised me that he would make my sister happy for the rest of her life. So, you should take care of yourself and wait for him to get better."

Her brother's resurrection gave Qi Nuan greater courage. She also wanted to hear Lu Yin's promise to her in person, and she also wanted to promise him in person.

Therefore, Qi Nuan decided to firmly believe that Lu Yin could survive.

She was not going to be depressed anymore. She wanted to give the Gu family a heavy blow as a gift to Lu Yin when he woke up.

After seeing his brother off, Qi Nuan asked Zhao Yu for his cell phone.

She found the number of the senior reporter Lu Yin had introduced her to and called him. "Reporter Li? I have a story about a scandal involving the Gu family that I want to expose. Are you interested?"
