"Wanqing is back! She'll definitely find a way to get me out of here!" Gu Ningning quietly turned around and walked excitedly towards the hospital bed, even jumping up and down with joy. But she quickly covered her mouth, afraid that she would laugh out loud and be discovered by the people outside.
Just as she was about to go to bed, she suddenly caught a glimpse of breakfast on the coffee table. She immediately ran over, sat down on the sofa, and began to eat happily.
"All I need to do now is conserve my energy, take good care of my health, and wait to get out!" Gu Ningning said with a happy expression, not caring that her breakfast had already gone cold.
In the next ward.
Gu Qingyan wanted to stand up quickly, but his body wouldn't obey him. He could only slowly lean against the wall and try to stand up despite the pain.
"Go in." Wei Qiao's voice was very cold, carrying a strong command.
But Gu Qingyan stood there, motionless, glancing at Rong Hong not far away, and gave a sarcastic smile.
"What? Still not satisfied after being hit? Want to get beaten up again?" Wei Qiao sneered, clasping his hands together in front of his chest as a warning.
"When are you going to let me out?" Gu Qingyan rubbed his aching head, frowned, and changed the subject with great displeasure.
"That depends on our CEO Rong's decision," Wei Qiao said calmly. "The doctor said that your condition will take more time to recover, and you won't be able to walk for a while. You should give up on that idea."
"That won't do!" Gu Qingyan raised his eyes.
"What did you say?" Wei Qiao became interested, curious to see what he was going to do.
"I want to get out!" Gu Qingyan clenched her fists and rushed to Wei Qiao. "I'm telling you, I want to get out!"
Wei Qiao pursed her lips, didn't waste any words with him, and directly and decisively threw a punch, making Gu Qingyan see stars and blood spill from the corner of his mouth in just a few blows.
Gu Qingyan braced himself against the wall, his body swaying as if he might collapse at any moment. But he knew he couldn't give in like this; he had to fight back. A voice kept reminding him that he absolutely had to get out and find Xiao Wanqing.
Perhaps it was the power of his belief that worked; he struggled to raise his hand, attempting to fight back, but Wei Qiao gave Gu Qingyan no chance whatsoever. Wei Qiao's eyes were fierce and ruthless, as if telling Gu Qingyan that he had already lost and there was no need to struggle any longer.
A sudden wave of fear washed over Gu Qingyan. He knew he was no match for Wei Qiao, and a forceful counterattack would only result in more serious injury. He was unwilling to give up, yet he couldn't bear to face Wei Qiao's ruthlessness. At that moment, he was caught in a dilemma.
But his desire to find Xiao Wanqing was so strong that he didn't hesitate and threw a punch at Wei Qiao.
"Gu Qingyan, do you know? I might as well tell you that you've actually seen your Xiao Wanqing recently." Wei Qiao kicked Gu Qingyan to the ground, stepped on his hand, and said coldly.
Gu Qingyan looked up in astonishment, completely disbelieving Wei Qiao's words. He hadn't seen Xiao Wanqing for several months.
"Xiao Wanqing had plastic surgery and changed her name to Yan Yan. She has been hiding among everyone."
Wei Qiao sneered, "You didn't expect that, did you? The person you've been so fond of has hated you since the very first time you met. They argue with you and even fight with you whenever they see you, never holding back."
Wei Qiao's words shocked and confused Gu Qingyan. He couldn't imagine that Xiao Wanqing would have undergone plastic surgery and use the alias Yan Yan to hide among them.
"So Yan Yan is Wan Qing? How is that possible?!" Gu Qingyan was still in a daze, looking completely dumbfounded.
He recalled every encounter with Yan Yan. He had never understood why Yan Yan harbored such deep hatred towards him. They were clearly two complete strangers. Even if she was standing up for Shen Zhi Qiu, she shouldn't have treated him like that.
Now, Wei Qiao's words have cleared up all his doubts.
Gu Qingyan thought for a moment and decided to go find Yan Yan to ask her if all of this was true. This was simply outrageous!
"Yes! I have to find Wanqing, I have to ask her face to face! How could she do this!" Gu Qingyan said, pushing himself up with his hands, ignoring the pain in his body, and prepared to walk past Wei Qiao and go outside.
Wei Qiao calmly stretched out her hand, directly blocking Gu Qingyan's path.
"Mr. Gu, you've probably been beaten so badly you've forgotten what I just said, haven't you?" Wei Qiao gave a look towards the door of the next ward, and a bodyguard immediately went over and stood in front of Gu Qingyan.
"Mr. Gu, please leave. Otherwise, fists and feet have no eyes, and you might get seriously injured," the bodyguard said in an extremely sarcastic tone.
Gu Qingyan pursed his lips, looking at Wei Qiao and the bodyguards. He knew very well that he couldn't defeat them alone, and there were other bodyguards stationed in the corridor.
Adhering to the principle that a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, Gu Qingyan remained silent and retreated.
Wei Qiao narrowed his eyes and said to the bodyguard, "You stay here and guard; I have to go out for a bit."
Late at night.
In the dimly lit ward, Gu Qingyan sat on the bed, his expression stern, a pen clutched tightly in his hand, seemingly deep in thought. His face was pale, but his eyes revealed a stubbornness and unyielding spirit.
The bodyguard kept the door open and stood at the door of the ward. It was late at night, and he was feeling sleepy, so he couldn't help but rub his eyes.
Gu Qingyan walked to the door, intending to close it.
"Mr. Gu, please return to your ward and do not approach the door. Your area of activity is not included here," the bodyguard said sternly upon hearing footsteps.
Gu Qingyan raised his head, glanced coldly at the bodyguard, and remained silent. His eyes were filled with disdain and contempt. He discreetly observed the corridor; Wei Qiao was nowhere to be seen, only a bodyguard remained in the middle.
In other words, the only person at the nearest stairwell was the bodyguard standing right in front of him. Gu Qingyan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly had an idea.
“Mr. Gu, I’ll repeat myself, please return to your ward.” Seeing that Gu Qingyan didn’t react, the bodyguard’s tone became even sterner. He took a step forward and reached out to grab Gu Qingyan’s arm.
The moment Gu Qingyan reached out, he suddenly kicked out, forcefully tripping the bodyguard to the ground.
Gu Qingyan ran out of the ward and sprinted down the corridor to the stairwell. His heart was pounding, and his breathing became rapid. He knew there were still many bodyguards downstairs, so his only option was to run upstairs.
Two bodyguards were in hot pursuit, their footsteps and breathing echoing down the corridor.
Gu Qingyan ran to the rooftop. He stood by the railing, looking down at the bodyguards. His heart was filled with despair and helplessness. He knew he had nowhere to escape; the bodyguards, alerted by the commotion, had already surrounded the entire rooftop.
