Chapter 317 It Hurts So Much [39]
When pressed by Li Zhiyun, Shen Wang honestly replied, "This is just my guess; we still need to investigate to find out the specifics."
Li Zhiyun's eyes turned cold as she thought of Shen Wangqing's guess.
If the person behind Li Pan'er really did participate in the kidnapping and trafficking of Li Xiaoxiao, then they truly deserve to die!
Besides the steel bar piercing his shoulder, Li Chu also had several minor abrasions.
After her wound was treated, she was transferred to a VIP ward.
The doctor told his uncle and the others, "Miss Li's shoulder injury is quite deep, but fortunately it didn't hit any vital organs. Once the injury heals, it won't leave any lasting effects."
Aunt Zhao Mingxue asked, "Is the wound big? Will it leave a scar?"
She thought that girls love beauty, and they would definitely be unhappy if they were left with an ugly scar.
The doctor replied, "Scarring is unavoidable, but laser scar removal can be considered after the skin has healed."
Uncle Li Zhiyun asked, "Doctor, can we go in and see her now?"
The doctor nodded: "Yes, but Miss Li lost too much blood and was anesthetized when her wound was treated, so she probably hasn't woken up yet."
Li Zhiyun nodded, indicating that she understood.
After the doctor left, the uncle and his family couldn't wait to go in and see Li Chu.
Before going in, however, the eldest uncle told everyone to be quiet and not to disturb Li Chu.
When they entered the ward, they saw Li Chu lying on the bed in a hospital gown, her face pale from excessive blood loss.
Everyone was furious at the thought that Li Chu's current state was all caused by Li Pan'er.
Not wanting to disturb Li Chu, everyone quickly withdrew.
After seeing Li Chu, Shen Wangqing bid farewell to the Li family and left.
The Li family did not leave.
The VIP ward is a suite, so everyone sat in the ward's living room and had a short meeting.
The eldest uncle spoke first: "Li Pan'er hurt Chu Chu so badly, she must pay double the price!"
The second uncle nodded in agreement: "That's right! This was premeditated murder; she should spend the rest of her life in jail!"
The third uncle added, "Let her suffer a fate worse than death in prison!"
Li Zhiyun spoke up and relayed Shen Wangqing's guess.
A moment of silence fell over the living room, and everyone's expressions grew even more grim.
The eldest uncle said, "If it's really as Wang Qing guessed, then this time... Chu Chu's injuries were worth it."
Li Xiaoxiao was kidnapped and trafficked, and so many years have passed that it is almost impossible to find any clues in the investigation.
The fact that those who harmed Li Xiaoxiao went unpunished has always been a thorn in the side of Uncle Da and his family.
They didn't hold a grudge against Li Chu, and even doted on her, because they loved Li Xiaoxiao too much.
Li Chu is the only direct bloodline she left in this world.
In their hearts, Li Chu will always be ranked after Li Xiaoxiao.
Li Chu had always known this.
After the anesthesia wore off, the wound on my shoulder started to hurt.
When Li Chu opened her eyes, she saw her aunt Zhao Mingxue sitting by her bedside.
"Auntie," Li Chu called out weakly.
Zhao Mingxue looked over immediately upon hearing the sound, and when she saw that Li Chu was awake, her face lit up with surprise: "Chu Chu, you're awake!"
"Does it hurt? I'll call the doctor to come and take a look!"
Zhao Mingxue stood up and went to the bedside, looking at Achu with concern.
She pressed the call bell by the bed and then went to call her great-uncle and the others who were waiting in the living room.
Voices immediately came from outside, and it was quite noisy because there were many people.
Immediately after, the eldest uncle, second uncle, and third uncle all came in.
Fortunately, the ward was large enough that the Li family members could all stand.
"Chuchu, how are you feeling?"
"Does it hurt a lot?"
"Don't be afraid, Chuchu. We're here. We'll make the person who hurt you regret ever being born!"
"Chuchu..."
Everyone was talking at once, and Li Chu didn't know who to respond to first.
Fortunately, the doctor arrived quickly, and the great-uncle waved for everyone gathered around the bed to make way.
The doctor gave Li Chu a quick check-up and asked her if her wound hurt. If it hurt too much, she could get a painkiller injection.
The wound hurt a lot, but it was within Li Chu's tolerance.
However, she had long realized that her pain tolerance seemed to be stronger than that of ordinary people.
So when the doctor asked her, she frowned slightly and answered with moist eyes, "It hurts so much."
Li Chu's voice was weak.
She had barely finished speaking, before the doctor could even reply, when her second aunt was already heartbroken and repeatedly said:
"Doctor, the child is in so much pain, please give her a painkiller injection!"
The doctor nodded: "Okay, I'll prescribe a painkiller injection for Ms. Li now."
The doctor left quickly, and the Li family members gathered around the bedside again.
Because Li Chu had just said she was in pain, she was stopped when she tried to speak.
"Chuchu, don't speak yet, don't aggravate your wound!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Don't talk, just listen to us!"
So from the Li family, Li Chu learned that Li Pan'er had been arrested, and that Shen Wangqing had guessed that Li Pan'er had someone helping her, and that person might also be the one who kidnapped and trafficked her mother back then.
Li Chu's eyes flickered.
She originally only wanted to repay Li Pan'er with her own actions.
If the person who helped Li Pan'er was really the same person who kidnapped and abducted Li Xiaoxiao back then, then this time it was all worth it!
However, why would Shen Wangqing make such a guess?
Li Chu was very curious and wanted to ask him.
However, she hasn't paid any attention to Shen Wangqing since he confessed his feelings to her last time.
If she asked, does it mean she's willing to talk to him?
Regardless of Li Chu's inner turmoil, she still met Shen Wangqing that night.
Li Chu's injuries were not minor, so she needs to be hospitalized temporarily.
Zhao Mingxue originally said she would stay to take care of him, but Li Chu refused.
She only injured her left shoulder and was staying in a VIP ward, with a dedicated nurse available on call.
At 7 p.m., the Li family members left after having dinner in Li Chu.
Li Chu lay on the hospital bed, holding her phone in her right hand, hesitating whether to send a message to Shen Wangqing to ask her something.
At this moment, the nurse came in and said to Li Chu, "Ms. Li, there is a Mr. Shen outside who wants to visit you."
Li Chu was surprised.
Who else could be surnamed Shen besides Shen Wangqing?
She was just about to contact Shen Wangqing when he arrived in person.
Li Chu hesitated for two seconds, then said to the nurse, "Let him in."
"Okay." The nurse nodded and turned to leave.
Soon, a series of steady footsteps sounded outside.
Just by listening to the rhythm, Li Chu actually recognized that it was Shen Wangqing!
She was somewhat surprised by herself.
Soon, Shen Wangqing arrived at her hospital room.
The two looked at each other, and Li Chu was the first to look away.
Shen Wangqing paused for a moment before continuing forward until she stopped beside Li Chu's bed.
"How are you feeling? Does it still hurt after the painkiller injection?"
The man's voice was gentle and clear.
Li Chu lowered her eyes and replied, "It's alright, it doesn't hurt anymore."
