Chapter 107 Chapter 107 Wake up
Song Guanshu was away for longer than Jiang Ling had imagined.
Chen Xiangyang was transferred to a special ward, and the day shift nurse urged her to pay the bill after work.
Jiang Ling never carries too much money with her because she feels unsafe.
She told the nurse, "My husband went home to get money and will be back soon."
The nurse saw that she was dressed beautifully and did not behave like someone who would default on medical bills, so she said, "Okay, then wait until your spouse comes and pay the bill."
The nurse asked curiously, "What is your relationship with this patient?"
Jiang Ling forced a smile on her face, "We are friends."
The nurse said, "You two are quite kind. From the medical records, I see that his condition is not good. Have you notified his family to come?"
"Not yet. We don't know the contact information of her family."
Chen Xiangyang rarely mentioned his family, and he had never told Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu his home address.
"Oh, don't cry." She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped Jiang Ling's tears, comforting her, "It may not be a problem. Your friend is as strong as an ox. For other people, they would have died long ago after being stabbed so many times."
This consolation is also very simple and unpretentious.
"It's not a good idea for you to stay here alone. Does he have any other friends? Ask them to come over and take turns to keep watch."
Chen Xiangyang does have a lot of friends, but Jiang Ling doesn't know which ones are his drinking buddies and which ones are willing to help him.
But she still thanked the nurse for her kindness, "Well, we will contact other friends to help together."
When Song Guanshu came back, he saw Jiang Ling's eyes were red. He knew that Jiang Ling must have cried, and he felt a little distressed.
Hearing footsteps, Jiang Ling raised her head and saw that his bloody clothes had been changed. "You're back. The nurse asked us to pay the bill."
There were a few strangers following Song Guanshu. Jiang Ling knew two of them were police officers from Xihe Police Station. She had been to Xihe Police Station for several days and was very familiar with them.
There were two strange women behind the police, "Who are they?"
The police greeted him first, "Hello, Comrade Jiang Ling."
"We came here to find out some information."
Outsiders were not allowed to visit the intensive care unit. The police made room for the window and asked the younger of the two strange women to identify the person who helped you. “Take a look. Is this the person who helped you?”
The girl with a slightly younger face leaned closer to the window to identify it for a long time, and then said, "It looks a bit similar, but I can't remember clearly."
Standing behind her was her mother, who angrily slapped her on the back, "Yes or no, he saved you, you can't fail to recognize your benefactor?"
She had been scolded before, and she burst into tears when she heard this. "I don't remember. I couldn't see anything clearly at night, and the street lights were broken. I just know that he was tall and strong."
The police officer's eyes were very sharp. He glanced at the person on the bed and said, "That's probably him. The time and place are correct. This man looks to be about 1.9 meters tall and strong. He fits the physical description you described."
The slightly older female comrade held her daughter down and bowed to Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu, "I'm sorry, I didn't teach my daughter well."
Jiang Ling looked at the others and asked, "So, what is going on? Can anyone explain it to me?"
"My daughter went out to play with her male classmates yesterday and didn't come home until very late. I scolded her for coming home late. She looked upset at the time, but I didn't take it seriously."
After she divorced her husband, she raised two daughters alone. The burden of life made it difficult for her to focus all her attention on her daughters.
The eldest daughter was particularly rebellious and didn't get close to her.
It was her youngest daughter who saw blood on her sister's clothes and told her secretly.
Logically speaking, the blood on the girl's body might be menstrual blood.
She thought her daughter came home very late and thought she had done something, so she interrogated her.
How could the underage girl withstand her mother's questioning, so she told her the whole story.
When the eldest daughter was going home, she was harassed by a hooligan. The male classmate who was going home with her immediately ran away when he saw this.
Zhang Shuzhen thought that the blood was caused by her daughter being bullied by a gangster. After listening carefully, she realized that it was not the case. A kind-hearted person suddenly appeared on the street and helped her. However, the gangster was a vicious criminal and carried a knife with him.
Zhang Shuzhen's expression became more serious as she listened. "You mean, a passerby was stabbed for helping you, but you just left the injured person on the street?"
Looking at her crying daughter, Zhang Shuzhen was so angry that she slapped her twice.
She asked her daughter to take her to the crime scene, and when she looked there, there was only a pool of blood on the ground.
Zhang Shuzhen felt heavy-hearted as she watched. A normal person would surely die if they lost so much blood.
She did not go back immediately, but took her daughter to report to the police.
The police took them to the scene and took their statements. The process continued until early morning, when Song Guanshu came to report the case.
The location and general details all match up.
The police brought the mother and daughter to the hospital to identify them.
Jiang Ling was furious when she heard that she was the one who threw Chen Xiangyang on the street because she was afraid.
"It's really a blessing for him to help someone like you." Jiang Ling sneered, "We don't ask you to repay your kindness and send him to the hospital. Even if you go to the nearby police station and ask the police for help, the doctor said that he doesn't have any fatal injuries, but he has lost too much blood. If he could be sent to the hospital earlier, he might not be in such a critical condition now."
The police officer just looked at Jiang Ling coldly as she accused the young girl, and did not step forward to stop her.
To be honest, their reaction when they heard it was similar to Jiang Ling's.
No matter what, the person took the knife for you. Out of morality and basic humanity, you should not do such a thing.
Zhang Shuzhen was also disappointed with her daughter's behavior, but after all, she was the child of her womb, and she couldn't just ignore it.
"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of her." Zhang Shulan apologized sincerely, "We are willing to bear the medical expenses of this comrade. We will cure him even if we have to sell everything we have."
But her daughter didn't buy it. "You ignored me when I was a child, why are you pretending to be a good person now?"
Zhang Shuzhen said helplessly, "When I divorced your father, Mom didn't have much money and your sister couldn't walk yet, so I had no choice but to take her away first."
The mother and daughter were arguing, and the nurse in the duty room came out and said, "Keep your voices down, this is a hospital, and the patients need a quiet environment."
This nurse was the one who had just chatted with Jiang Ling. They were sitting in the duty room and could hear the conversation outside the door clearly.
The nurse thought to herself, what kind of person is this? It's like saving a poisonous snake.
When the mother and daughter were arguing, she rushed out before all her colleagues.
"As a daughter, shouldn't you understand your mother's difficulties?"
The police were talking to Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu on the other side. The police said to Jiang Ling, "You have a personal relationship with Instructor Tong. If you ask her to draw a profile of the suspect, it might be faster. Since the incident has already happened, it's best to catch the murderer as soon as possible. Whether he has to pay compensation or go to jail, finding the person is the first step."
He said sincerely, "If we file a report and apply to the higher authorities, Instructor Tong may have to go through the procedures for a long time depending on her schedule. Since you are friends, let her come over at noon to work overtime and draw a portrait of the suspect. We can then use the portrait to find the suspect, which will be faster."
He was telling the truth, but he also had his own selfish motives.
Although they were once colleagues, Tong Wanyue would not refuse to help him, but he didn't need to owe her a favor because of other people's affairs.
Jiang Ling nodded and agreed. She also wanted to bring the man to justice as soon as possible.
"It's just that the street lights on both sides of that road are broken. What if she doesn't see the criminal's face clearly?"
A good cook cannot cook without rice. No matter how strong Tong Wanyue's professional ability is, how can she draw a portrait when she hasn't even seen the victim's face clearly?
The police certainly thought of this problem, but until there is a better solution, they can only place their hopes on Tong Wanyue.
"Isn't it that there is another male classmate who also appeared at the crime scene? We will go find that classmate to find out the situation."
Jiang Ling went to ask the nurse where she could make a phone call. She went to contact Tong Wanyue, and Song Guanshu continued to stay here.
Tong Wanyue had told Jiang Ling the phone number of her workplace a long time ago.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
A strange voice came from the receiver. Jiang Ling's voice was still hoarse from crying. She said, "I'm looking for Tong Wanyue."
"Who are you? I'll ask her to come over and answer the phone."
"My name is Jiang Ling."
The man who answered the phone went to the next office to find Tong Wanyue, "Yue, a lesbian named Jiang Ling called you."
The man added, "She looked like she had encountered something and had just been crying."
When Tong Wanyue heard him say that Jiang Ling had just cried, her face suddenly became serious and her colleagues were shocked by her look.
"Sister Wanyue~"
"Hey, don't cry, tell me what's wrong, who bullied you?"
Tong Wanyue thought that it was Song Guanshu who bullied Jiang Ling.
Her brows were furrowed, but her voice was unspeakably gentle.
"I'm in the hospital. Can you spare some time to come to Xihe Police Station today?"
"Song Guanshu was injured?" She was not cursing Song Guanshu. Jiang Ling was still able to make phone calls in the hospital. It was obviously not her who was injured, so it could only be Song Guanshu who was injured.
She asked gently, "What happened?"
"It's Chen Xiangyang. This idiot saw a little girl being bullied last night. He stepped forward to help her, but was stabbed twice. The suspect has not been caught yet. I would like to ask you to take some time to come and draw a portrait of the suspect."
"Okay, I'll take a leave and come right over. Don't worry." Before hanging up the phone, Tong Wanyue asked, "Which ward is he in?"
"Third floor, room 312."
Jiang Ling called her unit again and said that something happened at home and she needed to take two days off.
The benefit of having a good relationship with the boss appeared at this time. The leave request for several people went smoothly, and she could go back to work when it was convenient for her.
After Jiang Ling finished the call, she returned to the third floor. Song Guanshu was not at the door of the ward. Instead, it was Cui'er.
She asked in surprise, "Cui'er, why are you here?"
She was carrying a small floral cloth bag, which contained her lunch box and a change of clothes.
She patted the small bag on her body and said, "I heard something happened. There's not much Han Ruixue and I can do to help. You all have your own things to do, so leave it to us to stay by your bedside."
"I have agreed with Han Ruixue that I will come during the day and she will come at night."
"You haven't had time for breakfast yet?" She took out a steaming pancake from her bag and said, "Eat something to fill your stomach."
The good intentions came all at once, and Jiang Ling didn't even have time to refuse.
Song Guanshu had just gone to the window to pay the money. He originally had to wait for Jiang Ling to call back before he could go. He couldn't leave the ward without someone around. He only dared to leave after Cui'er came.
When he came back, Jiang Ling was staring at the cake in her hand in a daze.
She looked at her and pouted, "What should I do? My eyes are going to pee."
The two of them shared a cake.
Not long after they finished eating, Tong Wanyue came running over in a hurry.
It was less than twenty minutes since Jiang Ling hung up the phone. God knows how she got here.
But he must have been very tired, as he was out of breath when he saw Jiang Ling.
"Is he alright? Doctor, what do you say..."
Jiang Ling shook her head. "The situation is very bad. He lost too much blood. It's a bit too late to send him to the hospital."
Tong Wanyue was no less sad than Jiang Ling. She thought that if she didn't let Xie Lang get close to Chen Xiangyang in this life, Chen Xiangyang would not go back to the same path as in his previous life.
Although he did not disappear silently in the river, the current situation is very grim.
She patted Jiang Ling on the back and said, "He's lucky. Nothing will happen to him."
"I will definitely find the criminal and bring him to justice." Her teeth were chattering.
After comforting Jiang Ling, she said, "I'll go to Xihe Police Station first. I'll be there for the next few days. You should remember the police station's phone number. Call me if you have any questions."
There was nothing to do in the hospital, so Cui Er urged them to go home. "You should go back and have a rest. You should go back and go to work. I'm here."
"You two stayed up all night yesterday. Even an iron man couldn't have endured it. The one in the hospital bed hasn't recovered yet, and you two fell down first. Should I take care of him or you?"
Cui'er and Chen Xiangyang are not related, so Jiang Ling feels uncomfortable asking her for help.
Jiang Ling said, "You have to go to work too. It can't affect your work."
Cui Er raised her eyebrows, "Who are you looking down on? It's just that you two have a good relationship. I came to help you because we are friends. I am not the kind of ungrateful person. I remember Xiang Yang's help. Now that he is in trouble, how can I just sit back and do nothing?"
"When you two have rested enough, go home and make some money. His medical expenses are the biggest expense. You can ask me to help you, but I absolutely cannot ask you to pay for it." She said angrily, "So, both of you should hurry up and make some money. His medical expenses still depend on you."
Chen Xiangyang is still in a coma and does not need anyone to take care of him, but there must always be a family member watching over him in front of the ward and rush to find a doctor if any special situation occurs.
There is no point in having too many people stay here. It's not like the more caregivers there are at the bedside, the faster the patient will recover.
Song Guanshu felt sorry for Jiang Ling who had to stay up all night, so he said, "Let's go back and have a good sleep first, and come back in the evening."
After hearing what the two said, Cui Er said, "You don't have to come in the evening. Han Ruixue will be here at night. Don't affect our schedules!"
Before leaving, Song Guanshu gave her all the money he had left.
Cui Er had never seen so much money in her life. She stuttered a little and said, "I, I volunteer, I don't want any reward."
The money was too much. If Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu were more resolute, she wasn't sure whether she would accept it.
"It's not for you. I'm just worried that the money I paid before is not enough."
The hospital is a huge money-shredding machine. Fortunately, they are rich and can afford Chen Xiangyang's medical expenses, otherwise he would just have to wait to die.
Cui Er held all the money and put it in her pocket. "Okay, you guys should go home and have a rest. The hospital is not a place for people to stay."
After Jiang Ling returned home, she took a shower and slept until two o'clock in the afternoon.
Song Guanshu had already woken up, but he hadn't gotten up yet. Feeling Jiang Ling's movements, Song Guanshu stood up and asked, "Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat."
Although it was a question, the person was already putting on the apron.
Jiang Ling rubbed her swollen temples and said, "Don't bother. Just go out and eat. After eating, go to the hospital for a checkup."
Song Guanshu stayed up all night just like her, and she felt sorry for him.
After changing clothes and eating something at a random shop, I arrived at the hospital at around three in the afternoon.
"Why are you here again? I told you not to come." Cui'er told them to go back as soon as she saw them.
Jiang Ling was holding a bag of egg cakes, which she bought for Cui'er on the way. "If you're hungry, use them to fill your stomach."
Asked Cui'er about his condition over the past few hours.
Cui Er shook her head, "He hasn't woken up yet."
"It's a good thing that it hasn't gotten worse. The body has lost so much snow that it won't wake up too quickly."
After chatting with her for a few minutes, Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu went to see the doctor to discuss transferring him to another hospital to see if he could be transferred in his current condition.
If transferred to another hospital, which hospital would you recommend?
Half an hour later, Chen Xiangyang was transferred to the People's Hospital by ambulance.
Cui'er couldn't follow the ambulance, she had to wait here for Han Ruixue.
Han Ruixue got off work at 5:30, but she asked for leave from her boss and arrived at the hospital at 4:30.
Cui Er told her, "It's in the People's Hospital. When you get there, ask the one who was transferred here half an hour ago."
Han Ruixue rolled her eyes at her and said, "Do I need you to teach me this?"
As she spoke, she hurried over to take over.
When she got there, Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu had already completed most of the transfer process and procedures.
"Wait a minute, you guys can leave later. Give me fifteen minutes to eat. I'll be back soon."
After Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu came out of the People's Hospital, they went to the Xihe Police Station.
With Tong Wanyue keeping an eye on the progress, they don't need to worry.
Jiang Ling wanted to know how far the case had progressed, so they went to the police station after leaving the hospital.
I brought the cakes and fruits I bought on the way and distributed them to everyone after arriving at Xihe Police Station.
Tong Wanyue couldn't help but know what she wanted to know. She took out a portrait and said, "This is the portrait I drew based on the characteristics described by the two children. Tomorrow, these colleagues will search around the area for investigation."
Jiang Ling listened quietly to Tong Wanyue. "Today they searched around the crime scene and found a bloody murder weapon. The dagger was of a special shape. In the next few days, anyone who might have this special dagger will be the focus of investigation."
Tong Wanyue is an extremely outstanding woman. After several years of professional training, her ability to investigate cases and her organizational skills have been greatly improved.
It can be said that if Tong Wanyue had not been in charge, the investigation of the case would not have gone so smoothly.
When she was at Xihe Police Station, Tong Wanyue had never had such an easy time carrying out her work.
Now that she is no longer from Xihe Police Station, there are procedural problems if she gets involved. But because she is from a higher-level department, no one forbids her from participating on the grounds that she is not from this unit. Instead, she cooperates more than ever before.
Sometimes, it’s not that the case cannot be solved, it could be that there is not enough pressure, or the direction of solving the case is wrong.
Now that Tong Wanyue is here, everything is not a problem.
Seeing Chen Xiangyang like this, Jiang Ling had no mood to go to work.
With Cui'er and Han Ruixue helping to share the burden, they felt much more relaxed.
Before lying down at night, Jiang Ling said, "We can't let Cui'er and Han Ruixue stay with you all the time. I'll go during the day tomorrow. You can catch up on your sleep at home during the day and stay up at night."
This is the best choice.
Compared with Jiang Ling being alone at home at night, Song Guanshu was more worried about her staying alone in the hospital at night.
In the morning, Jiang Ling managed to snatch the qualification to stay with the patient from Cui'er. When she arrived at the ward, Han Ruixue was chatting with an old lady.
Finally, a savior appeared. Han Ruixue pulled her aside and said, "This is Auntie Sun, a family member of the steel plant. One year, her grandson fell into the river, and Xiangyang and your family fished him out together. Auntie Sun heard that Xiangyang was injured and his family was not around, so she wanted to come and help take care of him."
Han Ruixue had just woken up in the morning and hadn't even washed her face when she was blocked by this old lady at the door.
She loves beauty the most and cannot accept chatting with people with eye boogers, so she urgently needs to wash her face.
Although she is called an aunt, she is actually less than 60 years old.
Han Ruixue and Cui'er are both neighbors, so Jiang Ling can still feel at ease leaving the person to them. However, this is the first time Jiang Ling has met this lady, so it is difficult for her to feel at ease.
Jiang Ling said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I'm sorry to bother you."
"What's the trouble with this? If it weren't for Chen, my grandson would have died a long time ago. Isn't it the case that neighbors help each other?"
Jiang Ling said politely, "When he helped everyone, he never thought about getting anything in return."
"Girl, are you dissatisfied with my inability to work?"
What else can Jiang Ling say? This lady also means well.
Jiang Ling was driven out by the old lady. When she left, she gave some money to the nurse in charge of the bed and asked her to make two trips and call her if there were any special situations.
In the next few days, all the people who came to keep him company were those who had once received favors from Chen Xiangyang.
Who would have thought that Chen Xiangyang had done so many good things silently.
I don’t know where these people heard the news, but they not only donated money but also contributed their manpower.
Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu don't need to do anything at all. They just need to pay the fees on time.
Jiang Ling felt particularly emotional. She used to scold Chen Xiangyang for meddling in her affairs, but these past few days Chen Xiangyang had taught her a lesson.
In this world, helping others is actually helping yourself.
Chen Xiangyang lay in bed for a week before he woke up. Jiang Ling received a call at work and took a taxi straight to the People's Hospital.
There were a bunch of doctors and nurses surrounding his bed, and Jiang Ling couldn't even see anyone as she walked up the stairs.
The ward was filled with fruit baskets brought by people who had received favors from Chen Xiangyang.
He hadn't eaten for a week and had to rely entirely on intravenous drips. He was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to speak.
The sound was intermittent, but no matter what, he was able to wake up, which at least proved that he had survived the first level.
After the doctor asked about his condition, he left with the nurse, and the ward suddenly became empty.
Chen Xiangyang opened his dry lips. He learned from the doctor's conversation that he had been in a coma for a week.
When he saw Jiang Ling, the first thing he asked was, "You haven't divorced yet, have you?"
