She didn't force him; she held him in her arms and sat him on a bench against the wall.
The corridor windows were open, and people were constantly coming and going. It was almost one o'clock, and it was still very noisy.
Lin Zhibai said, "This hospital has a rest room. I'll ask a nurse to open one."
“I’m not going,” Liang Mufan immediately refused. “I’m going to wait here for news from my little brother.”
In any case, he should just refuse all the good intentions Lin Zhibai shows.
Lin Zhibai wanted to say something more, but Gu Fanyan stopped him with a look.
It was late, and Liang Mufan was very tired; she would fall asleep soon.
Sure enough, he fell asleep in Gu Fanyan's arms in less than five minutes.
She clung tightly to Gu Fanyan's clothes with her two small hands, as if afraid that she might leave at any moment.
Gu Fanyan gently patted his shoulder, and gradually, he fell into a deep sleep, his clenched fists finally loosening.
At that moment, the police officers arrived.
Gu Fanyan handed Liang Mufan over to the nanny and whispered, "Go to the car. If he wakes up in the middle of the journey, I can come right away."
The nanny nodded and did as instructed.
Gu Fanyan talked with the police officer for a while and carefully recounted the process of finding the little boy.
The officer thought for a moment, "That area is a villa district. Let's go to the villa district and ask each household to see if any families have lost their children."
“Ms. Gu, thank you for your cooperation,” the officer continued. “You can go back and rest now. We will arrange for someone to take care of him here.”
Gu Fanyan was still a little worried. "I'd better wait. He hasn't left the emergency room yet."
They're still not out of danger.
The police officers didn't stop them; one of them stayed behind to keep watch while the others went to do other things.
Gu Fanyan sat down on the bench again, and a cup of hot coffee was brought to her. She looked up and saw Lin Zhibai standing beside her.
He stood guard nearby while she spoke with the police officer.
"Do you know this child?" Lin Zhibai asked.
Gu Fanyan shook her head: "I don't know him, but when I found him, he was badly injured, he looked terrible..."
She couldn't help but lower her head.
Lin Zhibai felt a pang in his heart. He knew she must be thinking of that rainy night, when she was all alone and helpless...
He put his arm around her shoulder. "Don't worry, he'll be fine."
Gu Fanyan did not refuse.
She did recall her most helpless moment, when she couldn't refuse the warmth he offered.
She still remembers how much she wished he could appear by her side, to give her some help and some warmth.
Unexpectedly, he made up for what he owed her at this moment.
"Did you go to that villa area to look at the project today?" After a moment, Lin Zhibai changed the subject, trying to ease her tension.
“Yes,” she replied, “but I wasn’t looking at projects, I was looking at houses.”
Lin Zhibai smiled slightly: "Anyone you like?"
“Yes, I’ve got my eye on one,” she replied. “I also saw a mock-up of the apartment after it was renovated. It’s quite beautiful, and Liang Mufan likes it a lot too.”
Lin Zhibai's smile deepened. "I'd like to see too. Maybe it'll suit my taste."
"Aren't you being a little too confident?" Gu Fanyan scoffed. "My future with Liang Mufan may not necessarily include you."
“But my future life will definitely include both of you,” Lin Zhibai replied without hesitation.
Gu Fanyan pursed her lips, but didn't continue the conversation.
She had long understood his feelings.
However, she hasn't made up her mind to embrace this new beginning.
"How's it going with Chen Qiao's matter?" Lin Zhibai changed the subject again. He just wanted to express his feelings and didn't want to force her to make a choice.
"The head office sent her to do financial training, and she'll be back in a week."
This arrangement was beyond Gu Fanyan's control, so the matter of finding fault with her was temporarily put aside.
Gu Fanyan had already made arrangements; once she returned, her scheme would be exposed.
“I do have a lead here,” Lin Zhibai said, taking out his phone and sending her an electronic file. “Take a look.”
Gu Fanyan immediately turned on her phone.
The document is short, but it is shocking enough.
It turns out that Chen Qiao had spent three months as an exchange student at a university during her postgraduate studies.
This resume was originally very impressive, but Chen Qiao deliberately removed it when she joined Gu's company.
She even deleted all related content from her private social media accounts.
And this school is the university that Gu Zheng once attended!
"Does she know Gu Zheng?" Gu Fanyan frowned.
Gu Zheng was implicated by them long ago and was imprisoned three years ago.
"Where is Gu Zheng now?" Gu Fanyan asked.
“Three months ago, he came out for treatment due to a sudden illness,” Lin Zhibai replied.
"What illness does he have? Which hospital is he in?" Gu Fanyan pressed.
"I'm sorry, we can't find these things at the moment," Lin Zhibai said apologetically.
Gu Fanyan immediately realized, "I was too impatient."
She was a little anxious just now and never expected that Gu Zheng's identity was special and that many things were kept secret.
Lin Zhibai has already put in a lot of effort to find out so much.
"Thank you for finding so much information for me." She looked at him gratefully.
"Your business is my business." Lin Zhibai smiled slightly at her.
She was taken aback.
Having known him for so long, she only just realized that he could have such a gentle smile, filled with warmth.
The women who used to chase after him relentlessly probably weren't all there because of his identity as "Young Master Lin."
"What's wrong?" he scratched his face. "Is there something on my face?"
"Hmm," she said, turning her gaze away as she came to her senses, blushing slightly. "It was there a moment ago, but it's gone now."
He noticed that she blushed.
I'm sure it's because he blushed.
There's no one else here.
His smile deepened, and he felt the distance between him and her shrink considerably...
He instinctively wanted to raise his other hand to hug her, when suddenly a "bang" rang out and the emergency room door was suddenly pulled open.
A nurse hurried out and walked quickly forward.
Gu Fanyan realized something was wrong and quickly chased after her, asking, "Nurse, what's wrong with the baby?"
"A blood transfusion is needed, Rh type blood, the blood bank is running low!" The nurse said, then ran even faster.
"Rh type blood..." Gu Fanyan thought to herself, "What a coincidence, Little Meatball is also Rh type blood..."
She turned to Lin Zhibai anxiously and said, "When Xiao Roubao was a little over one year old, he got sick and needed a blood transfusion. The blood bank has a bit too little Rh blood."
Lin Zhibai immediately took out his phone: "Don't worry, I'll think of a way."
He called the hospital director and several assistants, asking them to handle the matter.
Soon, the assistants reported back that blood would be transferred from the blood banks of several large hospitals, and there would be no problem.
Gu Fanyan calmed down at this point.
Actually, she could manage to arrange it well if asked to do it.
But Lin Zhibai's calm demeanor gave her a great sense of security.
In recent years, she has been able to stand on her own and has enjoyed many moments of success, which makes her feel very satisfied.
But I always felt like something was missing.
What she really wanted was a sense of security.
The sense of security that comes from Lin Zhibai.
It turns out she had never truly let go of him either.
