Chapter 130 Is she a police officer?
"Ouch!" they both exclaimed at the same time.
Qiu Heng was jolted and nearly fell. He looked up and saw a young woman clutching her head, repeatedly apologizing, "I'm so sorry! Are you alright, comrade? I was in such a hurry, I didn't see..."
At this moment, Qiu Heng was only concerned about his grandfather's safety, and he didn't care about anything else. He waved his hand haphazardly, as if he didn't feel any pain, and didn't even bother to brush the dust off his clothes. He struggled to get up and wanted to rush out again...
"You're such a grown-up, why are you still so clumsy! You don't even watch where you're walking!" Director Zhuang frowned and scolded Lin Baozhu, who rushed in, his tone irritated.
Lin Baozhu, without bothering to explain, strode towards Director Zhuang, her voice urgent:
"Director Zhuang! My third brother and I were on our way home when we found a seriously injured old man in an alley!"
Upon hearing this, Director Zhuang looked up abruptly, a faint glimmer of hope instantly igniting in his weary and despairing eyes! He strode forward, his voice trembling with urgency: "Old man?! How old are you?! What do you look like?!"
This urgent question struck Qiu Heng like a thunderbolt, who had already walked a few steps outside the door!
He seemed frozen in place, as if under a spell! The next second, he whirled around, rushed back at top speed, shoved aside Director Zhuang who was blocking his way, and dashed to Lin Baozhu's side! His eyes, which had been bloodshot with despair, were now fixed on Lin Baozhu, filled with unbelievable ecstasy and tension, and his voice trembled as he spoke:
"An old man?! Where...where is he now?! How is he?! Tell me quickly!!"
“He’s badly injured! He’s bleeding a lot! My third brother and I have already taken him to the county hospital!” Lin Baozhu answered quickly, her gaze sweeping over the agitated stranger in front of her, who was almost out of control, and she had a vague idea of what was going on.
She grabbed the sleeve of the still-dazed Director Zhuang and forcefully pulled him to a corner, whispering in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"Director! That old man is no ordinary person! He's Professor Qiu from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences..."
Director Zhuang's eyes widened as he looked at Qiu Heng, whose eyes were bloodshot, and then at Lin Baozhu. He swallowed hard, somewhat incredulously.
Then, excitedly, he exclaimed, "Comrade Qiu, Professor Qiu has been found! He's currently at the county hospital..."
Before Director Zhuang could even finish saying, "Professor Qiu has been found!", Qiu Heng suddenly sprang from his spot and disappeared from the police station entrance in the blink of an eye!
Upon seeing this, Director Zhuang and Lin Baozhu took off after them...
As Director Zhuang ran, he thought to himself, "May Buddha and God grant Professor Qiu's survival. Whether he can continue as director depends entirely on him."
The three of them rushed into the county hospital ward. Professor Qiu had already woken up, leaning against the slightly elevated bed, his face still pale, but his eyes clear. Lin Sanlang sat on a small stool beside the bed, vividly describing the discovery and rescue:
"...Sir, do you think this is a big mistake? That alley is usually pitch black, you don't see a soul in it! If it weren't for my little sister's sharp ears, hearing that little noise...the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
In this world, you can run into robbers even in broad daylight on the main road, let alone in those deserted corners! You should be more careful in the future!
Now you just stay here and rest, don't think about anything else! My little sister just reported it to the police, those bastards definitely won't get away!
As he spoke, he reached out to tuck the blanket around the old man and carefully lifted the pillow.
"grandfather--!"
A cry piercing through the air suddenly shattered the tranquility of the ward!
Qiu Heng rushed to the bedside like a cannonball, almost kneeling down with a thud! His hands trembled as he held Professor Qiu's hand that wasn't receiving an IV drip, and tears streamed down his face like a broken string of pearls.
"Cough cough... Ah Heng..."
Professor Qiu coughed weakly twice, looking at his grandson's appearance, he forced a smile with heartache and helplessness, and gently patted the back of his hand: "Silly child...why are you crying...Grandpa is fine, isn't he? It's all thanks to..."
His gaze shifted to the honest-looking Lin Sanlang by the bedside, and Lin Baozhu standing a little further away. "Thanks to this Comrade Lin Sanlang and his sister... if it weren't for their grandfather's old bones, they might really be going to meet Marx..."
Qiu Heng followed his grandfather's gaze to Lin Sanlang, a look of surprise flashing across his red and swollen eyes—they had just seen Lin Erlang at his house that afternoon!
Unexpectedly, they were quite destined to be together...
He forced himself to suppress his surging emotions and asked anxiously, "Grandpa! How are you feeling? Is the wound very painful? Comrade Lin, what did the doctor say?" He looked at Lin Sanlang with eyes full of anxiety and gratitude.
Lin Sanlang felt a little embarrassed by the gaze, scratched the back of his head, and looked sheepishly at his younger sister Lin Baozhu, gesturing for her to speak: "The doctor said... uh, I'm not good with words, little sister, why don't you say it?"
Lin Baozhu understood and stepped forward, saying, "The doctor said that Professor Qiu is out of danger for now. However, he lost too much blood and his vital energy has been damaged. He needs to be hospitalized and rest for a period of time, and he needs to pay special attention to nutrition in his diet."
At this moment, Director Zhuang, panting heavily, followed in, leaning against the door frame. Seeing the elderly man in relatively good spirits on the hospital bed, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense all the way, finally settled down.
He let out a long sigh of relief, forcing a smile of relief onto his face: "It's good that you're alright! It's good that you're alright! Thank God! Professor Qiu, you're so lucky to have met these two siblings!" As he spoke, he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
After regaining his composure, Director Zhuang turned to Lin Baozhu and said sternly, "Comrade Lin Baozhu! The case of Professor Qiu's attack is extremely serious! Your Criminal Investigation Team One is hereby assigned to be fully responsible for the investigation! You must find out the truth as soon as possible and bring the murderer to justice!"
"She? She's a police officer?!"
No sooner had Director Zhuang finished speaking than an incredulous exclamation rang out!
Qiu Heng's eyes, still red and stained with tears, were now filled with shock.
This Comrade Lin looks to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but I never expected her to be a police officer. Moreover, Director Zhuang even entrusted his grandfather's case to her, which shows that she is quite capable.
Lin Baozhu keenly caught Qiu Heng's scrutinizing gaze, glanced at him lightly, and thought, "Little brat, are you shocked?"
She turned to look at Director Zhuang: "Don't worry, Director, the Criminal Investigation Team One guarantees to solve this case as soon as possible!"
After saying that, she didn't delay any longer. She took out the old cloth bag that had been wiped clean but still showed signs of wear from her bag and solemnly handed it to Professor Qiu: "Professor Qiu, this was found at the scene of your injury. Please check if everything inside is intact?"
