Two more people were brought into the emergency room; they were the two gunmen who had committed the murders.
Soon, the police station leaders came over to inquire about the situation in person and also asked Xia Baozhu about her past in detail, asking her to think about whether she had offended anyone.
The Sun family rushed over upon hearing the news, and were relieved to see that the two were alright. San Gou and Xia Laidi also came over.
Xia Baozhu asked Xia Laidi to go home and get her two pieces of clothing, while she and Sun Xingyan waited here for Chen Shanlou to wake up.
Sun Xingyan told his family that what happened today was an armed robbery.
He sighed inwardly, realizing that his previous plans had been in vain. He felt he could never repay the kindness, especially since it was from his rival in love, which made him both grateful and distressed.
All he can do now is hope that Chen Shanlou lives well and doesn't die.
The situation at Chenshanlou was good; the bullets had avoided vital areas, which reassured Xia Baozhu and Sun Xingyan. Sun Xingyan then paid the hospital fees.
The next day, Sun Xingyan brought breakfast and a bunch of nutritional supplements, and said to Chen Shanlou, who glanced at him and then ignored him, "Thank you for yesterday."
Chen Shanlou snorted coldly, thinking this person was not worthy to speak to him. Sun Xingyan peeled an apple for him and handed it to him, saying, "Take good care of yourself. You still need to find a partner in the future."
"Don't be so smug. You should think about how to save your life first." Chen Shanlou took the apple, took a bite, and said with a sneer.
"Were those two people hired?" Sun Xingyan asked tentatively.
"I have no idea. You two should ask each other if you've offended too many people." Chen Shanlou finished his apple in a few bites and threw it into the trash can. "Alright, leave. I have nothing to talk to you about."
“Alright, just let me know if you need anything.” Sun Xingyan stood up, looked at Chen Shanlou with a look of disdain and indifference, and said seriously.
"Heh." Chen Shanlou chuckled disdainfully.
Only after watching Sun Xingyan leave did Shen Shanlou's face show pain; he had aggravated his wound by throwing the apple core.
He saved her, but she couldn't even be bothered to look at him, and instead let her man provoke him. He deserves it.
"Wife, the food has been delivered. I even peeled an apple for him, and he ate it," Sun Xingyan said to Xia Baozhu, who was waiting for him in the car.
Are there any other people in the ward?
“A policeman is taking care of him.” Sun Xingyan fastened his seatbelt. “Let’s go to the police station and ask those two people who they are.”
Sun Xingyan specifically contacted his classmate's father, who said that the investigation was still ongoing, but it was confirmed that the person came from the south.
Xia Baozhu had never been to the South in her life except for Haicheng. Instantly, she thought of Leng Minghui, and then she thought of Lin Shiwan.
However, this is just speculation. Leng Minghui wouldn't kill her just because she splashed water on him.
As for Lin Shiwan, Xia Baozhu believed that she had no entanglement with Leng Minghui and that Lin Shiwan should not hold any grudge against her.
Xia Baozhu told Sun Xingyan her guess, but Sun Xingyan had a different opinion.
“Leng Minghui has always been greedy, always wanting more than he has. Lin Shiwan used to be the one he was eyeing, so of course she didn’t care. But now Leng Minghui is still thinking about you, and he even comes to see you without telling her during meals. She must be unhappy about that.”
"If they can get Song Yaodong to treat them to dinner, they must be doing quite well. It would be easy for Lin Shiwan to hire a few assassins behind Leng Minghui's back. They wouldn't travel so far to kill a complete stranger if they didn't have enough money."
"The fact that Leng Minghui travels with bodyguards shows that they are not so safe in the south. Money attracts attention, and naturally they get to know some people who specialize in fighting and killing for others."
"Not only does she have money, but she also has connections. Lin Shiwan is the most suspicious."
After saying these words, Sun Xingyan suddenly felt a sense of unease. So far, his earning ability was not as good as Leng Minghui's, his martial arts skills and social status were not as good as Chen Shanlou's, and his family background and appearance were not as good as Song Yaoyang's.
He quickly adjusted his mindset; he was the best because Baozhu recognized him and married him.
"I'll call Leng Minghui first." Regardless of whether it was Lin Shiwan or not, Xia Baozhu had to give Leng Minghui a warning and make him keep an eye on Lin Shiwan and her family.
If Lin Shiwan is wrongly accused, so be it, she won't die anyway.
When Leng Minghui received the call and heard the familiar voice, his heart skipped a beat: "Zhao Di, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
His language was extremely caring and gentle; anyone who didn't know better would think he was calling his lover.
“I was shot yesterday. There were two gunmen. The police said they came from Shenzhen.” Xia Baozhu’s voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth.
"Are you alright? Were you shot?" Leng Minghui suddenly stood up upon hearing this, his anxiety seeming genuine.
"Besides you, Lin Shiwan, and your family, I don't think I have any other enemies in Shenzhen who have the money to hire an assassin."
"Zhao Di, do you suspect I hired someone to kill you?" Leng Minghui felt his tie tightening around his neck, making it hard to breathe. He loosened the tie, his voice a mix of anxiety and grievance. "Absolutely impossible! How could I bear to hire someone to kill you? I, I, I..."
Leng Minghui didn't go downstairs. He saw Lin Shiwan standing at the door with her big pregnant belly and suddenly stopped talking. He calmed down and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I will give you an answer."
Lin Shiwan walked in slowly with a lunchbox in her hand, and asked with a smile, "Whose call was that?"
Leng Minghui took the lunchbox and helped Lin Shiwan sit on the sofa: "It's Zhaodi."
Lin Shiwan slowly gripped the sofa cushion. Zhao Di, such a rustic name, yet it sounded so endearing.
"Oh, what's wrong? Didn't my younger sister call to say she got married? Did she have a fight with her boyfriend?" Lin Shiwan's slightly swollen face still had a smile on it.
"No, she was shot yesterday." Leng Minghui stroked Lin Shiwan's belly, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Ouch!" Lin Shiwan's heart skipped a beat when she heard Leng Minghui's words, and her stomach hardened, causing her pain.
"What's wrong? Shiwan, where does it hurt? Let's go to the hospital right away." Leng Minghui saw Lin Shiwan touching her stomach and looking pained, so he became nervous and got up to call someone in.
"No need, Minghui, I'm fine. My stomach just got a little hard, but it's fine now."
Lin Shiwan loved Leng Minghui's gentleness, thoughtfulness, and generosity, but Leng Minghui's lingering feelings for Xia Baozhu infuriated her. She couldn't hate Leng Minghui, so she could only hate Xia Baozhu.
When she heard Xia Baozhu call, she thought her secret had been exposed, but the baby in her belly calmed her down. If it had been exposed, Leng Minghui wouldn't have spoken up directly.
"Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital? I feel more at ease if you go. Don't come all that way to bring me lunch anymore, you're too tired." Leng Minghui touched Lin Shiwan's belly, looking worried.
He had this child when he was thirty, and he couldn't afford to let anything go wrong with it.
