Chapter 341 Caring for Each Other
Without saying a word, Lu Chen picked up Secretary Lu and carried him horizontally.
"The key is in my right trouser pocket." He said in a deep voice.
Xu Nuo quickly took out the key and opened the car door.
Lu Chen glanced at the back seat coldly: "Move in."
The two gangsters huddled in a corner, not daring to make a sound.
After being beaten up by Lu Chen just now, they both felt that their ribs were broken, but they didn't dare to speak at this moment.
After settling Secretary Lu, Lu Chen opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat, while Xu Nuo sat in the passenger seat.
"You come and show me the way." Lu Chen said.
"Okay." Xu Nuo said, "Just follow this road. I'll remind you when you need to turn."
Lu Chen stepped on the accelerator and the car sped towards the town.
During the bumpy ride, Lu Chen stared at the road ahead: "Nono, how do you feel about your injury?"
"The injury is on the head, try not to delay." Xu Nuo said.
Lu Chen glanced at the two people with bruised faces and noses in the rearview mirror and frowned: "I can't take those two guys to the hospital."
"We will split up," Xu Nuo said decisively, "You escort them to the police station, and I will stay to take care of Secretary Lu."
"Okay." Lu Chen turned the steering wheel sharply and turned into a fork in the road. He parked the car in front of the hospital first. He locked the car door and rushed to the emergency room holding Secretary Lu.
After the doctor came out to receive the patient, Lu Chen wanted to leave in a hurry. He said to Xu Nuo, "Wait for me to pick you up. Don't run around."
Xu Nuo nodded: "Okay, then go quickly."
The tires rolled over the gravel and the military vehicle headed towards the town police station.
The lights in the emergency room were pale. Xu Nuo sat on a bench in the corridor waiting. Every time the door opened, she stood up immediately.
"This situation requires several tests and you have to pay some money."
Xu Nuo said: "It's a pity. I'll do all the tests that can be done for him. I'll pay for the expenses. Don't worry."
"good."
After a while, the doctor came out of the emergency room and said, "We've done all the necessary tests. It's a mild concussion, but there's no bleeding in the brain. It's a blessing in disguise."
Xu Nuo's tense shoulders finally relaxed.
She completed the hospitalization procedures and watched the nurse give Secretary Lu an IV drip. After confirming that there was no problem, she went to the nurse's station and called the village branch.
She remembered that Lu Zhishu said that he would let his daughter come and sleep with her tonight.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up, and a gentle female voice came.
"Lü Yingying? I'm Xu Nuo." Xu Nuo said directly, "Your father was attacked and is now in the town hospital. He's been through all the tests and he has a concussion. The doctor said he'll be fine after a few days of IV drip."
Lu Yingying's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Doctor Xu, I'll notify my family right away! Please help us take care of my dad first. We'll be there soon."
"Okay, be careful on your way." Xu Nuo hung up the phone and went back to the ward to continue waiting.
In the interrogation room of the police station, the two suspects were talking nonsense while answering the police's questions. Lu Chen stood behind the glass outside the door, his lips tightly pursed.
"We need the victim to come in and make a formal statement." One of the police officers handling the case said as the door to the interrogation room opened.
Lu Chen nodded: "The person is in the town hospital, I will go and pick him up."
Lu Chen came to the town hospital. When he opened the door of the ward, Xu Nuo was standing by Lu Zhishu's bed.
Seeing Lu Chen coming in, she said softly: "The doctor said it was just a concussion, and he will be fine after a few more days of hospitalization."
"That's good. You need to go to the police station to give your statement." Lu Chen lowered his voice.
Xu Nuo glanced at Lu Zhishu who was still in a coma and said, "We have to wait for the family members to come and take over."
Lu Chen sat down beside her, and quietly held her cold hand under the cover of the hospital bed. Their eyes met, and they understood each other's thoughts without words.
Lu Chen stared at Xu Nuo's thin face and obviously too big clothes, and his throat tightened with heartache. This girl must not have eaten well in the countryside, and her clothes were hanging on her body.
"Thank you for your hard work." He stroked the protruding joints on the back of her hand with his thumb. "Your face has become smaller."
"It's just a little tiring." Xu Nuo smiled slightly, "But the epidemic situation has improved, and I will be able to go home soon."
After that, she asked Lu Chen: "What about you? Have you been doing well recently?"
Lu Chen shook his head: "I miss you every day. I can't eat or sleep well by myself. I just hope you can come home soon."
Xu Nuo smiled and said, "I've never seen you talk so well before."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows: "Really? It seems that I still said too little. I should say more anytime and anywhere in the future."
Xu Nuo smiled again, feeling much more relaxed than before.
After talking about Qing Xiaoqinghua, Lu Chen started to ask the main question: "Do you know why they are targeting you?"
Seeing Xu Nuo shaking his head, Lu Chen's eyes darkened: "I may know the reason."
Xu Nuo opened her eyes wide in surprise. Even she, the person involved, didn’t know the answer. How could Lu Chen, who was far away in the army, know it...?
She was about to ask Lu Chen, but before she could finish her words, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.
Secretary Lu's wife rushed over with their children. When she saw her husband with gauze wrapped around his head and an IV drip hanging on his head, she burst into tears.
"Who...who did this?" asked Lu's wife, choking with sobs.
Xu Nuo quickly comforted her: "The man has been taken to the police station. The doctor said it was just a mild concussion. He just needs to be given an IV and rest for a few days."
After hearing this, Lu's wife breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at Lu Kun and said, "Why haven't you woken up yet?"
"It's nothing, don't worry. I woke up halfway and fell asleep again."
Only then did Mrs. Lu feel relieved: "That's good, that's good."
Xu Nuo finished explaining everything on his side and prepared to leave: "Please take care of him first. I have to go to the police station to record my statement."
After leaving the hospital, Lu Chen drove her to the police station.
When Xu Nuo was taking a statement at the police station, when he mentioned that he was pushed into the water and nearly died, Lu Chen stood up suddenly, his face pale: "You never told me this!"
Xu Nuo whispered: "I'm afraid you'll worry..."
"Then do you know who did it?" asked the police.
"I think... it's very likely these two people we caught today."
"Okay." The policeman closed the notebook. "That's it for today. You can go home now."
"Those two people..." Xu Nuo asked.
The police said, "Don't worry, they haven't explained clearly yet, we have to continue the interrogation."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, this is our job."
"Okay, you can go back now."
Xu Nuo stood up and prepared to leave.
Lu Chen said to her: "You go out first and wait for me in the car."
"Do you have anything else to do?"
"Yeah, a little bit. Go ahead and wait for me!"
Since Lu Chen didn't say anything, Xu Nuo knew that either this matter could not be said, or it was not the time to say it.
"Okay, I'll wait for you then."
Xu Nuo left the police station, opened the car door and waited in the car.
Lu Chen turned back and said only one sentence to the police: "Detain these people, don't let them go easily. They may be involved in espionage crimes!"
