Chapter 438: Of course, one cannot come empty-handed.



Ji Muhan suddenly smiled.

Just as she was about to ask something else, Mo Tingqi and the others squeezed into the ward together, so she simply swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of her tongue.

"Third Brother."

Mo Tingqi smiled faintly, "You still know I'm your third brother, yet you didn't even tell me about such a big thing!"

Mo Xiaoqing wrinkled her nose sheepishly and said awkwardly, "I just saw that you've been too busy lately and I didn't want to bother you!"

He glared at her with a sarcastic look. "Thank goodness you're alright, otherwise how would I explain to my aunt and the others!"

Mo Xiaoqing tilted her head slightly with an innocent and guileless expression. "You're not new to knowing me. I've always been lucky; nothing will ever happen to me!"

Mo Tingqi gave a half-smile, his handsome chin gesturing towards Ji Muhan's hospital bed. "So, when will this patient in the bed be able to be discharged?"

"The doctor said he's recovering very well recently and can be discharged in the next couple of days!"

"Ah!" Mo Tingqi raised his long, beautiful phoenix eyes slightly, a smile playing on his lips. "You're all better so quickly! I thought I'd be lying around like a corpse for at least a month!"

Ji Muhan remained indifferent, offering no comment on his words and acting as if she hadn't heard them, as if he wasn't the main character in the painting at all.

Mo Xiaoqing smiled as expected, but also remained silent.

She was already well aware of the hostility her brothers harbored towards Hanhan. If she were to approach them now, her third brother would likely turn his attacks on her!

Rather than continuing this entanglement, it's easier to just stay silent!

Mo Tingqi narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over Ji Muhan's face with an ambiguous meaning. His face was slightly pale, perhaps because he had been injured not long ago, and he looked somewhat weak and beautiful.

It was even more breathtaking than his usual aloof and unapproachable demeanor!

But his inherent noble air could never be concealed, and he still captivated other girls.

Mo Xiaoqing felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so she immediately changed the subject and asked the question she cared about most.

"By the way, is there any news about my brother outside?"

"The police dispatched a dedicated search and rescue team that has been stationed along the coast. The Mo and Mo families have also mobilized all their connections and conducted a thorough undercover investigation of all the nearby villages along the coastline, but so far they have not found any news of your brother!"

Mo Xiaoqing's eyes dimmed. "It's been so long..."

"Don't worry, Mo Xiaoyu is lucky, she won't lose her life so easily!"

"I hope so. Don't worry, I haven't recalled the people I sent out yet, and they will continue to investigate!"

Mo Xiaoqing's gaze was firm as she said, enunciating each word clearly, "Investigate! We must investigate! We absolutely cannot give up! We must find them alive or dead!"

Mo Tingqi glanced indifferently at Ji Muhan beside him before slowly uttering a single word, "...Okay."

Shen Shaolin and his group arrived as well, arriving just minutes after Mo Tingqi.

"Why did you bring so much fruit!"

Qi Guang maintained his fine tradition of mindlessly rushing to answer questions.

"Because everyone said that the captain is currently a patient, and one cannot visit a patient empty-handed, so when we were almost at the hospital entrance, we went for a walk around the market..."

Shen Shaolin coughed lightly.

Fortunately, upon hearing his fake cough, Qi Guangshen belatedly shut his mouth, realizing he had said the wrong thing again.

Mengzi and the others looked at the ceiling, the window, and the door, but they didn't dare to look at the person sitting on the hospital bed.

Their captain…

Shen Shaolin closed his eyes and said to himself, "Didn't I already know that he was such a simpleton?"

What's there to fuss about? What's there to be angry about?

He gave a forced smile, but inside he was already weeping with frustration.

Shen Shaolin was always shameless, and even in this awkward situation, he could still grin and say to him, "Mu Han, we're going back to the army tomorrow morning, so we came to see you before we leave!"

Ji Muhan suddenly smiled, glancing at him with a half-smile, "Really? You're too kind, bringing so much fruit to visit me, a patient!"

Pfft.

Mo Tingqi laughed out loud, which was particularly unkind of him.

His voice was exceptionally clear in the ward, which made Qi Guang feel extremely depressed for a moment.

I thought to myself, "Who is this? So clueless!"

They actually dared to laugh like that right in front of their captain.

He glanced quickly at their captain's face, which was noticeably colder than before.
