"What you're saying has nothing to do with me." Dr. Liu's expression was uncertain, but she finally made her decision. She stood up abruptly and walked out of the pavilion.
"This is a matter of conscience. If your conscience allows it, then you can leave." Qin Xiaoyu chased after him for two steps, but Dr. Liu pushed his bicycle and hurriedly ran away.
This was expected. Dr. Liu had been running away for so long; she would definitely continue. She was hypnotizing herself, implying that Qi Si was sentenced to death because he had too many murder cases on his hands, it couldn't be just one.
This one thought sustained her, allowing her to continue telling the lie.
A Lei and Qin Xiaoyu first went to visit Lu Di at the Lu family home. He had returned home after recuperating at a hospital in the provincial capital for some time.
The Lu family was very happy to see Qin Xiaoyu and her group arrive.
"Sit down, Xiaoyu seems to have lost weight. Is she too tired?" Lu Di's mother-in-law pulled Qin Xiaoyu aside and looked her over carefully.
"Go and cut the watermelon, it's so hot!" said Lu Di's father-in-law.
“Mom and Dad, don’t be shy, we’re all family,” Lu Di said with a smile.
Qin Xiaoyu knew that he was truly not being polite when he said such things.
"I guessed you'd be back. You're just passing by, aren't you?" Although Lu Di wasn't at work, his senses were still sharp.
"I'm not just passing by; I'm looking for some clues."
"For Qi Si's case?"
"Yes, Ding Yihu died from a penicillin allergy, it has nothing to do with Qi Si." Qin Xiaoyu explained the general situation.
"This is a bit difficult, there's no physical evidence. If Dr. Liu denies it outright, there's no way to overturn the case." Lu Di, with his meticulous thinking, had already considered the outcome.
"I'll go look for her again tomorrow, I'm not giving up. If that doesn't work, I'll make a scene, go to the leaders, and make a big fuss." Although Qin Xiaoyu didn't want to hurt innocent people, nothing was more important than Qi Si's life.
“This is not a good idea. If you really make a scene, Qi Si might not be able to be saved, and Dr. Liu will definitely be ruined.” Lu Di shook his head.
"She died because of her, and now my brother has to pay with his life? I won't stand for that!" Qin Xiaoyu was very unhappy to hear him say that.
“I understand how you feel. This matter can’t be put on the pressure any longer. Have you thought about it? Dr. Liu is psychologically fragile. If you really put pressure on her to the point that she can’t take it and someone dies, then we won’t be able to save Qi Si, and we’ll lose another one. I don’t want to see you carry this debt for the rest of your life.” Lu Di’s words calmed Qin Xiaoyu down.
Ah Lei had actually thought of all this, but he couldn't say it; saying it would hurt Qin Xiaoyu. A loyal friend like Lu Di was the perfect person to step in.
"What should we do then?" Qin Xiaoyu also felt discouraged.
"Tell them with emotion and reason; everyone has a heart." Qin Xiaoyu understood what Lu Di was saying, but putting it into practice was not so simple. Now, Dr. Liu had developed a dislike for her.
They discussed it for a while, and Lu Di's mother-in-law had already arranged dinner. Lu Di's father-in-law picked up Lu Xiaofei and, upon hearing that Qin Xiaoyu was there, she ran ahead of him.
He rushed into the house, panting, and hugged Qin Xiaoyu tightly.
"This child has grown quite a bit taller, how come she's still so thin?" Qin Xiaoyu genuinely liked Lu Xiaofei, and hugged her to examine her closely.
"I miss my little sister. When will I be able to see her again?"
"I'll take you out to play when you're on vacation, so you two can have as much fun as you want," Qin Xiaoyu said with a smile. Her younger sister also talked about Lu Xiaofei all the time; having a girlfriend was much more fun than those bunch of rascals.
After the meal, Qin Xiaoyu noticed that Lu Di looked tired, so she got up to say goodbye.
"Where are you staying? There are rooms upstairs, please stay."
"I'm going to stay at my sister-in-law's house. She's about to give birth, and I'm going to check on her."
"Is that Tang Wenwen?" Lu Di had seen her before.
"You also know her husband, Jiang Fusheng from the No. 1 Department Store."
Qin Xiaoyu and the others came out, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the Jiang family.
Tang Wenwen's due date has passed, and she hasn't given birth yet, which worries her aunt. Jiang Fusheng is so frightened that he stays home every day, refusing to go on business trips or even to dinner parties.
The Jiang family had already eaten and were sitting in the courtyard enjoying the cool air, chatting with Tang Wenwen. Perhaps because they were holding back a rain, the sky was overcast and the air pressure was low, making the pregnant woman particularly uncomfortable.
"Why aren't you coming over for meals?" Tang Wenwen was in a bad mood and took it out on Qin Xiaoyu.
“Lu Di’s family prepared everything, but she only ate a little bit. Do you think she has any appetite?” A Lei answered for Qin Xiaoyu.
She's been so worried about Qi Si lately that she's lost a lot of weight, which breaks A Lei's heart.
"You're right, how did you get so thin? You need to take care of yourself too," Tang Wenwen couldn't help but complain.
"Stay here for a couple of days, and I'll make it up to you," Auntie said with a smile. Jiang Fusheng and Tang Wenwen knew about Qi Si's situation but didn't tell their aunt; older people tend to worry unnecessarily.
"When are you going to give birth, you little Nezha?" Qin Xiaoyu looked at Tang Wenwen's belly, feeling a little apprehensive. There had been a lot of births in the family lately, and none of the bellies were this big.
Zhou Yue can't compare to those who had three children at once, but I heard that Tang Wenwen only had one.
"Auntie has taken such good care of me," Tang Wenwen said, pouting.
"A bigger one is easier to take care of," Auntie said with a smile, not angry at all.
A bolt of lightning flashed, followed by a thunderclap, and raindrops pelted down, raising a layer of dust on the ground.
Several people quickly got up and helped Tang Wenwen into the house.
"Ouch!" Tang Wenwen suddenly cried out, and her body slid down.
"She's about to give birth!" Auntie exclaimed. Jiang Fusheng, who was carrying a reclining chair into the room, hurried back upon hearing this.
Tang Wenwen's face was contorted in pain.
"She's waiting for Xiaoyu. She won't give birth until Xiaoyu comes. This child is destined for her. Let her give birth later." Auntie rambled on as she ran into the house to get some things. A Lei helped drive the car out, and Qin Xiaoyu took the umbrella that Chen Ma brought and used it to shield Tang Wenwen. The family planned to go to the hospital.
As soon as they got on the bus, the rain began to pour down. A Lei was unfamiliar with the roads, so he switched seats with Jiang Fusheng.
Qin Xiaoyu and her aunt shielded Tang Wenwen in the middle, sitting in the back row.
There weren't many people at the hospital that night. On the way, A Lei had already called the hospital, and a nurse was waiting in the emergency lane with a cart. They quickly got Tang Wenwen inside.
Qin Xiaoyu maintained the same posture the whole way. She was stiff when she got off the bus. In the blink of an eye, the people in front of her had disappeared. She slowly moved forward.
As fate would have it, I ran right into Dr. Liu.
Dr. Liu was on duty that night. Hearing about the emergency, she came out to take a look and unexpectedly saw Qin Xiaoyu.
"Are you here to see me again? What do you want? How long do you intend to bother me?" Dr. Liu asked seriously.
"No, my sister-in-law is about to give birth, she was just brought in." Qin Xiaoyu raised her hand, which still had some pink stains on it. "Excuse me, where is the restroom?"
At first, Dr. Liu was skeptical of what she said, but when she asked a question, she hesitated for a moment and pointed to the side.
