Although a lot happened today, it was only just past noon.
Li Nan pushed Gao Siming to the hospital cafeteria. His mother-in-law had just called to say that they had made chicken soup at home and would pick it up for Qin Wen later. There was no soup for Li Nan, so he would have to take care of his own lunch!
Over the phone, Li Nan sensed the chill emanating from his mother-in-law and dared not return to the ward to face her judgment.
Being with Gao Siming right now is just right!
After a simple meal, Li Nan pushed Gao Siming to the hospital courtyard to bask in the sun.
It was only at this moment that Li Nan realized that Gao Siming, who was in the wheelchair in front of her, was actually wearing pajamas.
"Brother, this outfit of yours, it's all my fault, I didn't even notice it before!"
After saying that, he took off his green uniform and draped it over Gao Siming.
Gao Siming did not refuse. Although it was only mid-October, there was still a slight chill in the air in Tanhua City.
Was it easy for him to play this role well?
He was running around in his pajamas early in the morning, and I never expected that this clueless Li Nan would only realize it now!
"I never expected that no matter how much we guarded against it, it would be hard to guard against a thief within our own ranks. That fat bastard Huo Houming actually broke into our house!"
Li Nan pushed Gao Siming to a stop in the pavilion, then stepped forward, bent down, and asked, "Brother Gao, how are you now? Can you tell me what happened this morning?"
"We've already eaten, why can't I say it! I've wanted to say it for a long time!"
Following protocol, Li Nan called over Ma Jie, who was still lingering in the hospital, and together they listened to Gao Siming recount his morning's experiences.
Gao Siming's sleep quality is fairly good, but he is still easily startled awake.
This morning, while he was still half asleep, he heard some strange noises on the first floor, so he went downstairs to check.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I went down the stairs, I saw the lights in the living room turn on.
When I walked over, I found that there were two more people in the living room.
There was a man and a woman. The man was none other than his former brother-in-law, the fat Huo Houming. He didn't recognize the woman; she was wearing a long black dress and a strange mask.
"You fatso, how did you get in here?"
Huo Houming said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, your brother-in-law has run into a little trouble and wants to borrow something from you!"
Gao Siming was too lazy to argue with him, so he prepared to go up and kick him out.
Unexpectedly, the woman in the black dress who hadn't spoken suddenly lit up her eyes behind her mask, and Gao Siming lost consciousness...
When he woke up again, he was lying on a slaughterhouse table, bound hand and foot, unable to move.
Fortunately, he could still turn his head. He turned his head and saw Qin Wen, who was also tied up, on the table next to him.
Qin Wen was in a slightly worse situation than him; her mouth was also gagged. At this moment, Qin Wen was also struggling, making muffled noises as if trying to say something.
"Qin Wen, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
"Hey, brother-in-law, I didn't know you had the same tastes as that traitor Cao Cao! You even go after pregnant women!"
The person who arrived was none other than Huo Houming!
"Pah!" Gao Siming struggled to lift his head and spat at Huo Houming. "If you have a problem, come at me! Qin Wen is pregnant, what else do you want to do!"
Huo Houming brandished the butcher knife in his hand, creating a beautiful flourish, and with a "snap," it landed right between Gao Siming's feet.
"Don't worry, you won't be able to play the hero and save the damsel in distress today. Both of you will become sacrifices for my good luck!"
"Then step over my dead body first!"
"That's what I was planning too! Ever heard of being torn to pieces? My dear brother-in-law, today I'll let you experience what it's like to be slowly sliced to pieces!"
"Don't worry, the process will be very enjoyable. I'll take you down one by one. Before you die, I'll slice up this little wench first!"
"You dare!"
"You'll see if I dare!"
Huo Houming pulled out the butcher knife from the chopping board and slashed Gao Siming's calf hard.
"ah!"
"Bang!"
Gunshot...
"You all know what happened next. Luckily you arrived in time, and your marksmanship is excellent, otherwise, hehe..."
As Gao Siming spoke, he patted Li Nan on the shoulder again, "Brother, there's plenty of wine!"
Li Nan glared at Gao Siming fiercely, "We should have come later!"
...
Although Gao Siming's calf was lacerated by a penetrating wound, fortunately it only damaged the skin and flesh, and he only needed to change the dressing on time.
Li Nan couldn't refuse him, so she prescribed a week's worth of traditional Chinese medicine for his injuries and then asked Ma Jie to drive him home.
Before leaving, Gao Siming repeatedly instructed, "Li Shazi, don't tell my sister about this yet. Wait until I feel better, then I'll tell her myself, and we'll have a good laugh together!"
"Okay, okay, I got it. I have to go kneel on the washboard now! Ma Jie, drive carefully!"
...
When I arrived at the ward, Qin Wen was already awake and sitting on the bed drinking chicken soup.
Li Nan greeted his mother-in-law, but Mao Qinglan still ignored him.
Qin Wen pretended not to see him and continued drinking her soup.
Li Nan tactfully took the empty water bottle and went out to get hot water.
...
In the afternoon, Li Nan returned to Anding Division. Ma Jie had already brought back the surveillance footage from Lakeside Moonlight over the past few days, and he and Li Na were quickly skimming through it.
The incidents occurred in a relatively short period of time, and Ma Jie quickly finished his work and reported to Li Nan.
"Mr. Li, the Lakeside Moonlight Station was inspecting its lines yesterday in preparation for reinstalling the surveillance system, so the surveillance footage from the 10th did not record anything."
"However, this shouldn't have any impact. We checked the surveillance video from early this morning, and it's exactly the same as what Gao Siming told us!"
At 7:03, the suspect vehicle stopped at the entrance of the basement of Building 103, Gao Siming's residence. A man and a woman got out of the car, just as Gao Siming had described; they were Xue Qiangwei and Huo Houming.
