He then cried out in surprise and rushed over. "Captain!"
Huo Qingfeng didn't exchange pleasantries with his old comrades; he was in a hurry to take Ruo Ke to the hospital.
The Hummer sped back to the hospital in the blink of an eye, and Huo Qingfeng carried her to the doctor. After examination, it was found that Ruoke had only suffered superficial injuries. She had only suffered a mild concussion from the slap and needed close observation.
Following Huo Qingfeng's instructions, the doctor added something to the medicine, and Ling Ruoke fell asleep shortly afterward.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Ruo's distorted face, Huo Qingfeng felt incredibly guilty. He hadn't protected his wife; he deserved to die! However, she had suffered so much injustice, and he was determined to get an explanation!
He called and asked Tan Peishi to come over. He was worried about not having anyone reliable with him.
Tan Peishi received the call and rushed to the hospital. The team leader didn't tell her what happened, but she was worried that something had happened to Ruoke, so she kept urging the driver on the way.
He jumped out of the car, threw 50 yuan at the driver, didn't want any change, and rushed into the hospital.
"Captain!" Tan Peishi rushed in, panting. Turning around and seeing the person lying on the bed, she immediately cried out and lunged towards the bedside, "Ruo Ke!"
Huo Qingfeng grabbed her arm. "Don't touch her. She just fell asleep, let her sleep peacefully."
Tan Peishi was being carried around like a struggling turtle, and it took her a while to regain her balance. "Captain, what happened? How did Ruoke end up like this?"
She didn't suspect Huo Qingfeng of domestic violence. The captain was, after all, a soldier, and soldiers have a principle: they don't hit women! Of course, mainly their own women. If other women went too far, they might resort to violence. Besides, Ruoke was his precious daughter; he would never lay a hand on her.
Huo Qingfeng looked at Ruo Ke, his brows furrowed. "Don't worry about this for now. You stay here with her; I have some things to take care of. Don't worry, I'll get justice for her if she's been wronged."
Before Tan Peishi could speak, he left.
Huo Qingfeng left the ward and headed straight for the emergency room on the third floor. Although Rong Xiumei was an elder, she had made Ruoke suffer such injustice, and he couldn't let Ruoke swallow her pride! His wife couldn't endure such humiliation!
"Qingfeng!" Yang Ziyun was terrified when she saw her son appear with fire in his eyes. She rushed to meet him, fearing that he might do something terrible.
"Mom, don't worry. I'll wait for Gu Miaomiao to wake up and get to the bottom of things. But if they've wronged Ruoke, then they have to give Ruoke an explanation!" He wasn't impulsive enough to hit Rong Xiumei. After all, she was an elder, and the relationship between the two families was undeniable.
"You—" Rong Xiumei pointed at him, her face turning pale with anger. "Qingfeng, you've always been a reasonable child, how could you be so unreasonable today! Miaomiao is still in the operating room, her life hanging in the balance. If anything happens to her, who will compensate my child! Who can!"
"Sister, calm down. Qingfeng, how can you talk to your Aunt Rong like that? You're becoming more and more rude!" Yang Ziyun frowned, her impression of Ruoke plummeting. The past issues hadn't been resolved yet, and now this trouble had arisen!
“I know Ruoke; she wouldn’t do such a thing. If it really was Ruoke, I will definitely give everyone an explanation. If it wasn’t Ruoke’s fault, I hope Aunt Rong will give Ruoke an explanation! If I hadn’t acted quickly, and something had happened to her at the police station, who would compensate me with a wife?”
He knew how important Gu Miaomiao was to Rong Xiumei, but Ruoke was equally important to him!
Yang Ziyun glared at her son and scolded, "Qingfeng, you still dare to talk back! Are you trying to drive your mother to her death?"
Huo Qingfeng ignored him, crossed his arms, and leaned against the window, looking as if he were a giant a thousand miles away.
After a while, the operating room door opened. A group of people rushed over and surrounded the doctors and nurses.
Once he was certain that Gu Miaomiao was not in mortal danger and would not wake up anytime soon, Huo Qingfeng carried Fu'an away.
Such impolite behavior infuriated Yang Ziyun so much that she wanted to catch him and beat him up!
Huo Qingfeng ignored all of this and carried the child back to Ruoke's ward.
Ling Ruoke woke up in the afternoon. Her external injuries had been treated, and although they wouldn't heal immediately, the pain had subsided. However, she was still a little dizzy and felt nauseous. Clearly, this was a post-concussion symptom.
Huo Qingfeng let her lean against him and kissed her forehead. "Wife, I will definitely make them give you an explanation!"
Ling Ruoke smiled and shook her head. "Forget it, Qingfeng. The relationship between your two families shouldn't be ruined by such a small matter. Otherwise, your grandfather and father will definitely blame you. Besides, I shouldn't have argued with them in the first place. I'll avoid them from now on! As for this time, let's just let it go."
"How could this be a small matter!" If he hadn't arrived in time, who knows what those lousy cops would have done to her. In the police station, killing people is commonplace. She's just a small woman; she couldn't even withstand a single punch. The thought still lingered in his mind.
"But—" What if the investigation drags Xiao Fu'an into it? Ling Ruo Ke glanced at the sleeping little guy next to her, feeling very worried.
"No buts. I'll handle this. Don't worry about it."
Tan Peishi chimed in, "If possible, let the captain handle it. You're soft-hearted, but sometimes kindness can lead to bad things. The captain will definitely handle it better than you."
"Are you implying I'm unkind?" A cold voice, a cold gaze. Colonel Huo's character was being questioned, and he instantly cooled down.
Tan Peishi shrank back slightly, chuckling sheepishly. "No, no, I absolutely didn't mean that. I was just trying to tell Ruoke that as long as she trusts the captain, everything will be fine, right? Hehe..."
Ling Ruoke was fine and was discharged from the hospital in the evening.
...
"I know someone pushed me and I fell down, but I don't know who it was."
These were Gu Miaomiao's words after waking up. Although she said she didn't know, the timid glance she gave Ling Ruoke was seen by others as an indirect accusation.
Rong Xiumei's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Ling Ruoke.
"There were only four people there at the time. It was indeed her older sister; she couldn't possibly have pushed her own younger sister. And Fu'an was just a child; she couldn't possibly have pushed someone down the stairs. So, who is the murderer? Is there any need to ask? It's her, Ling Ruoke!"
All eyes were on her, as if they wanted to burn a hole through her body.
Ling Ruoke took a deep breath, not escaping their gazes, and the arm around her waist gave her strength. "I didn't push her. I didn't!"
"Then tell me who pushed you? Was it a ghost? You're so wicked! No wonder your husband doesn't want you! No wonder your parents left you! Someone like you—"
"Aunt Rong!" Huo Qingfeng shouted.
“Aunt Rong, I respect you as an elder. But even if you are an elder, you have no right to slander Ruo Ke like this. You have even less right to use someone else's sore spot to bully others. If you don't know the truth, you shouldn't make such comments! I will naturally find out the truth of the matter, but before that, please watch your words. Otherwise, don't blame me for disrespecting my elders!”
Huo Qingfeng's expression was so serious it was almost frightening, which startled Rong Xiumei.
Yang Ziyun's face looked extremely embarrassed.
