Chen Ningsheng scratched his head in frustration: "I guess Lu Shuangshuang has found a place to hide. She may have gone to a remote town, or she may have already gone abroad. I can't spare the time to deal with her for the time being."
Gu Yan's pupils suddenly contracted. That's right, Lu Shuangshuang had most likely already gone abroad. How could he have forgotten about this? He should have been on guard against Lu Shuangshuang's scheme as soon as he discovered that she was behind it.
Chen Ningsheng's lips twitched as he looked at Gu Yan's astonished expression. Could it be that this man only realized this now? But never mind, now is not the time to think about this.
Chen Ningsheng looked at Gu Yan and said to him, "Gu Yan, if you really want to make amends, then I'll leave the investigation of Lu Shuangshuang to you. As long as you can find Shuangshuang, I believe Xinchen will be very happy when she wakes up."
Gu Yan pursed his pale lips. He didn't know where Lu Shuangshuang had gone. Finding her would be like finding a needle in a haystack, but no matter how difficult it was, he had to do it. After all, he was the one who had wronged Xu Xinchen first.
Gu Yan quietly thought about what had happened these past few days, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that if it weren't for him giving Lu Shuangshuang hope of dealing with Xu Xinchen, Xu Xinchen might not have encountered these things.
Therefore, Gu Yan did not hesitate for long before nodding to Chen Ningsheng: "I understand. Leave Lu Shuangshuang to me, and as for Xu Xinchen... you must take good care of her."
Chen Ningsheng's lips twitched: "I know this without you telling me. Xu Xinchen is my woman, and I hope you remember that."
Gu Yan's eyelids twitched, even though she was trying to convince herself that Chen Ningsheng and Xu Xinchen were a couple.
But she just can't get over that hurdle when it comes to relationships. Even though he's not much worse than Chen Ningsheng, why does Xu Xinchen only like Chen Ningsheng?
Chen Ningsheng was naturally unaware of Gu Yan's thoughts; he was still pondering how to deal with Lu Shuangshuang and avenge Xu Xinchen.
It would have been better if Gu Yan hadn't brought it up; once Gu Yan did, the waves of anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
He wished he could grab Lu Shuangshuang right now and teach her a lesson to avenge Xu Xinchen.
With some vague ideas in mind, Chen Ningsheng looked up at Gu Yan and said, "If you can't find a specific direction to take, you can try to find Lu Shuangshuang's parents first. They should have some clues."
Gu Yan was brought back to his senses by Chen Ningsheng's words, and nodded solemnly to Chen Ningsheng: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Seeing that Gu Yan had already nodded in agreement, Chen Ningsheng didn't pay any more attention to Gu Yan. He got up, clapped his hands, and turned to walk back. He wanted to stay with Xu Xinchen; he would deal with other things after Xu Xinchen woke up.
Inside the ward, Xu Xinchen's face was covered by a respirator. A needle was inserted into the back of her hand, and nutrient solution was dripping into her body through the small tube, maintaining her life.
Seeing Xu Xinchen's appearance, Chen Ningsheng felt a pang of pain in his heart. He quickly stepped forward, took Xu Xinchen's other hand, and said to her, "Xinchen, wake up quickly! You've been asleep for a long time. Wake up and see..."
Watch me.
Xu Xinchen made no move. Chen Ningsheng had probably been disappointed too much these days, so he didn't have any special reaction to this scene. He was just still very sad.
He put Xu Xinchen's hand back on the blanket, stood up, touched Xu Xinchen's forehead, tucked the blanket back in for her, and then whispered in Xu Xingchen's ear.
He whispered to Xu Xinchen, "Xinchen, I'm going out to get a kettle of water. You stay here and sleep quietly. I'll stay with you when I get back."
After saying that, Chen Ningsheng turned and left. He didn't see that Xu Xinchen's fingers twitched slightly after he finished speaking.
As Xu Xinchen lay in the hospital bed, memories flashed through her mind again and again, sometimes Chen Ningsheng's face, sometimes Lu Zhenjun's and Zhao Lanzhi's faces.
People kept calling her name, Xu Xinchen, but they also kept calling her name, Lu Minshi. With the two names mixed together, Xu Xinchen couldn't tell who she was, whether she was Xu Xinchen or Lu Minshi.
Memories of her past and present lives kept replaying in her mind. Xu Xinchen's breathing became more and more rapid, as if someone was tightly gripping her throat. Something was waiting for her to break through.
"Beep beep..."
The line on the instrument suddenly started jumping rapidly, sometimes dropping to the lowest point and sometimes rising to the highest.
At the same time, Xu Xinchen's body was heaving, and cold sweat poured out, quickly soaking the sheets.
Upon noticing the changes in Xu Xinchen's body, the doctors immediately put down their work and rushed to the ward where Xu Xinchen was.
Chen Ningsheng had just finished filling a kettle with hot water when he saw a large group of doctors rushing into Xu Xinchen's ward.
A bad thought flashed through Chen Ningsheng's mind, and the thermos slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a bang. The thermos shattered, and the hot water spilled onto his leather shoes and seeped inside.
However, Chen Ningsheng seemed completely oblivious, staring blankly as the last doctor rushed into Xu Xinchen's ward.
“Xin…Xinchen…”
It took Chen Ningsheng a lot of effort to finally call out Xu Xinchen's name. After saying the name, he finally felt like he had regained his strength. He stumbled forward and finally reached the door of Xu Xinchen's ward.
"Doctor, what's wrong with Xinchen?" Before even entering the ward, Chen Ningsheng couldn't help but shout loudly, his voice full of panic, which made the doctor in the ward feel heartbroken.
The doctor standing closest to the door quickly pulled Chen Ningsheng into the ward: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, it's good news. We see that the young lady on the bed seems to be showing signs of waking up soon."
Chen Ningsheng was stunned at first, then a surge of joy welled up inside him: "What did you say? What did you just say? Is it true? Is she really about to wake up?"
Chen Ningsheng grabbed the doctor who was talking to him and shook him violently, his face full of joy and his eyes shining.
