After the portrait was finished, the two policemen were about to leave. "Are you all the educated youth who went to Dafeng Village to work?"
Zhang Meili nodded and admitted, "Yes."
"Okay, we'll send someone to notify you when we catch you, take good care of yourself."
Wang Shuning frowned and stared at them as they left the room. He turned his head and looked at the people in the ward and asked, "Did you tell the police that we went to Dafeng Village?"
Zhang Meili shook her head. Guo Jingyi was confused. "Didn't you say that when you went to call the police?"
Wang Shuning blinked, walked out of the ward and hurried in the direction the police had left. Something was wrong.
She ran to the hospital entrance and just saw the portrait artist crumpling up the portrait he had just painted into a ball and throwing it into the grass by the roadside.
After they walked away, Wang Shuning walked over and picked up the portraits.
The door of the ward was opened. Guo Jingyi saw that Wang Shuning looked different and thought of the question she had just asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Wang Shuning sat down and looked at Guo Jingyi in a daze. Was it an accident caused by the halo of the male and female protagonists? Lu Beichu, as the male protagonist, was beaten so badly.
She reached out and put the paper balls on the bed, and said, "Those policemen work in the county town all day, and they must be familiar with every street and alley. I felt it was a bit strange that they didn't catch anyone who beat people. I just saw the portrait artist crumpled up the portrait he had drawn into a ball of paper and threw it on the ground. I picked it up."
"It seems like they don't plan to continue arresting people."
"How could this be!" Guo Jingyi was a little caught off guard. She immediately opened the paper ball. On it was a portrait that she had just drawn. She was upset.
Those thugs were so brutal, but the police didn't arrest them. The interrogation process just now was actually to fool them.
Wang Shuning hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did you offend anyone in the city? Those people seem to be coming for you."
Guo Jingyi sat beside the hospital bed, feeling heavy with worry. Could it be Wang Butzi?
Zhao Heping was lying on the bed. Seeing Guo Jingyi's unhappy expression, he looked at Wang Shuning and Zhang Meili anxiously.
After a while, Guo Jingyi slowly said, "That day, Wang Tuzi came to the village to collect a debt from He Weiyuan's family. He saw me on the way and said some bad things. Later, Bei Chu and I came to the county town and knew that Wang Tuzi often went to the state-owned restaurant for dinner, so we decided not to go to the county town restaurant. The restaurant manager thought it was a pity that I was such a good cook, so he introduced me to the state-owned restaurant in Yihe Town as an apprentice."
Wang Shuning raised his eyebrows. The chef of a seven-star hotel is working as an apprentice in a state-owned restaurant in town. What a strange experience.
Zhang Meili was just scared, "Did that big gangster take a fancy to you?"
Guo Jingyi nodded dejectedly.
Zhang Meili covered her chest and said worriedly, "No wonder your clothes were cut into pieces. Lü Beichu was seriously injured, while Zhao Heping was only slightly injured. If you don't deal with Wang Tuzi, it will be too dangerous for you to come to the county town in the future."
Those people are thugs who do all kinds of evil. Guo Jingyi is really unlucky to be favored by the gangster leader.
How important is a girl's reputation? Those people are not good people.
Wang Shuning recalled the people he saw outside the state-owned restaurant in Yihe Town that day, "Wang Tuzi seemed to have a good relationship with the manager of the state-owned restaurant in town. I saw the two of them talking and laughing in the restaurant that day."
Guo Jingyi's cheeks turned pale instantly, "Wang Tuzi and the manager of the Yihe Town State-Owned Hotel?"
Wang Shuning nodded. "I didn't hear clearly what they were saying, but judging from their expressions, they seemed very familiar with each other."
The manager of the Chaoyang County state-owned hotel recommended Guo Jingyi to go to the town. The manager of the hotel in the town was familiar with Wang Tuzi, so this couldn't be a trap.
Zhao Heping suffered external injuries and the doctor said he did not need to be hospitalized, but Lu Beichu needed someone to take care of him in the hospital, so Guo Jingyi had to stay.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Meili rode Lu Beichu's bike to take Zhao Heping back, while Wang Shuning rode his own bicycle.
Tomorrow Zhang Meili will bring some spare clothes for Guo Jingyi and Lu Beichu.
Before going back, Wang Shuning bought enough buns for the two of them to eat three meals a day, as well as a lunch box of white porridge from a state-owned restaurant.
Guo Jingyi didn't dare go out alone, especially after she knew that the hotel manager and Wang Tuzi might be in cahoots.
If it weren't for the fact that Lu Beichu couldn't be discharged from the hospital, she wouldn't want to stay in the county town for a moment.
Zhang Meili and Guo Jingyi went to the backyard of the state-owned hotel to push the bicycle, and found that the front and rear tires of Lu Beichu's bicycle had been pierced by a knife.
Zhang Meili swallowed timidly. For the first time, she felt so unwilling to own the bicycle, as if there were many people around her secretly staring at her.
"Go to the repair shop and change the tire." Three women could ride on one bicycle, but Zhao Heping was a man, heavy enough for the two of them, but he couldn't sit on the front bar of the bike.
When I returned to the hospital to pick up Zhao Heping, Lu Beichu had already woken up, and it seemed that Guo Jingyi had already told him what happened.
After learning that the bicycle tire had been punctured, Lv Beichu frowned tightly, and anger could be seen on his purple face, "They are simply lawless."
Zhang Meili agreed, "Even the police are protecting those people. Isn't that lawlessness?"
Zhao Heping was helped to the back seat of the bike, and Zhang Meili reminded him, "I'll ride slowly, hold on tight."
Zhao Heping couldn't hug Zhang Meili's waist like Wang Shuning, so he could only hold the iron bar under his butt with both hands to prevent himself from falling during riding.
Wang Shuning hung the things they bought on both sides of the car handle.
On the way back, the three of them didn't say a word.
Wang Shuning frowned slightly, still thinking about what happened today.
They were educated youth who had gone to the countryside. Could a gangster like Wang Tuzi really be so reckless as to beat someone up just because he had a crush on Guo Jingyi?
The two hotel managers were willing to cooperate with him. Was it because Wang Tuzi fell in love with Guo Jingyi or Shan Mo who was standing behind him?
Wang Shuning guessed that it should be Shanmo, and Wang Tuzi was just an errand boy.
Not allowing Guo Jingyi to stay in the county town was to make it easier to take action. Chaoyang County has a large population, while Yihe Town has a small population, making it easier to take action.
I didn't expect that there are still such evil people in City D. If Shanmo is really so lustful, Guo Jingyi, as the heroine, can usually escape danger. Then, as a cannon fodder in the novel, will I be implicated?
Wang Shuning felt a little annoyed, and she had to find a way to find out.
After sending Zhao Heping home, Zhang Meili hesitated for a long time, "Shuning, can you go with me to the county hospital to deliver something to Jingyi tomorrow morning?"
Those people must know that Guo Jingyi and Lu Beichu are with them. Coupled with the incident of the bicycle tire being punctured today, Zhang Meili is a little worried. After all, she is also a girl.
Wang Shuning agreed, "Come and call me when you go out tomorrow."
Zhang Meili felt relieved instantly.
The next morning, the two came to the hospital. Lu Beichu was lying on the bed receiving an IV drip. Guo Jingyi told them that he would have to receive five bottles of medicine every day and the drip would take eight or nine hours.
As for whether to be sent to the city, he had only been hospitalized for one day and the doctor said to observe for another two days.
