Xu Qingqing drove at breakneck speed all the way to the hospital. After asking the nurse on duty, she jogged to Director Li's ward. Through the small window in the door, she saw Director Li lying unconscious on the bed. She pushed open the door and went in.
Only Hai Fugui remained in the ward; the other person had gone to the restroom. Hearing the noise, Hai Fugui looked up and saw a figure rush to Director Li's bedside. When he recognized the person, Hai Fugui's face darkened.
"It's you!"
Xu Qingqing frowned when she saw the wound on Factory Director Li's face. She stared at it for a while before turning her gaze to the man. She blinked, puzzled, and asked, "Who are you?"
Seeing her feigning ignorance, Hai Fugui was so angry he almost vomited blood. He gritted his teeth and said, "You've forgotten already? That little figure you drew last time made me the laughingstock. Who do you think I am?"
"Oh~", he reminded her, and Xu Qingqing remembered. She excitedly stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and said in surprise, "Oh! It's you, you skinny guy. You look completely different from when I first saw you. No wonder I didn't recognize you."
Hai Fugui's face turned from black to pale. Xu Qingqing looked directly at him, smiling, and patted his shoulder harder: "By the way, do you know how our Factory Director Li got injured? Was it an accident, or was it intentional? You must know, right?"
Hai Fugui's heart sank as he felt the force on his shoulder growing heavier. He had no choice but to sit back down in his chair. Facing Xu Qingqing's question, his gaze was somewhat evasive: "I...I know."
Xu Qingqing released her grip, staring intently at him. Noticing his somewhat unnatural expression, and remembering his discord with Factory Director Li, she scanned him up and down, asking suspiciously, "You didn't do this, did you?"
After all, someone like him could very well do something so vengeful.
"What are you talking about? I didn't bump into it on purpose. Everyone knows that." Hai Fugui loudly defended himself, his palms sweating with guilt, but he forced himself to remain calm in the face of her suspicious gaze.
Xu Qingqing felt increasingly uneasy. She crossed her arms and circled around him, observing his evasive gaze. She guessed that he was lying about this matter, and that Hai Fugui was definitely not telling the truth about the real reason for Director Li's injury.
Hai Fugui didn't know why, but he felt a sense of unease when facing Xu Qingqing. He felt that if she found out that Director Li's injury was due to his desire for revenge, pure revenge, he would be beaten up in the next second.
For a moment, the ward was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard. Then, when the other person returned after finishing his business, he found an unfamiliar woman in the ward and asked in confusion, "Who is this woman? What is she doing here? Lao Hai, do you know her?"
He didn't notice that something was wrong in the room. He walked to the bedside and glanced at Director Li, who was still unconscious. He picked up a stool from the corner and sat down. When Hai Fugui didn't respond, he realized something was off between the two of them. He frowned and called out again, "Old Hai?"
"Huh?" Hearing someone call his name, Hai Fugui noticed that he had returned. The person asked again, and Hai Fugui realized what was happening and explained, "It's someone from Li Chao's factory."
Xu Qingqing was speechless. What kind of introduction was this? It was as good as no introduction at all. After waiting for a while, the man couldn't wait for Hai Fugui's next sentence and couldn't help but say, "That's it? I say, Lao Hai, your introduction is quite perfunctory. You already know that this female comrade is with Lao Li, but you still hid it and didn't introduce her completely."
The man then turned to Xu Qingqing: "Since Lao Hai won't say, then comrade, why don't you introduce yourself?"
Xu Qingqing pointed to herself, her eyes flashing: "My surname is Xu, and my given name is Qingqing."
"Oh? What a nice name!" the man exclaimed. At that moment, Director Li, lying on the hospital bed, cried out in pain and gradually regained consciousness.
Xu Qingqing walked to the side and used her strength to lift his upper body and lean him against the pillow. This action made the man's eyelids twitch, and he quickly stopped Xu Qingqing: "Oh dear, Comrade Xu, be careful. Old Li was just injured. Won't you hurt him by doing this?"
Xu Qingqing: "?"
She's already being very careful. What more do you want from her? Do you expect her to carry her in a princess carry?
After a short while, Director Li sighed inwardly that as people get older, they are no longer as tolerant as they were when they were young. If this had happened before, it wouldn't have been a problem at all, but now that they are old, they can't take it anymore.
Xu Qingqing poured him a glass of water and handed it to him. Director Li was a little flattered. He took it and drank several mouthfuls. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve before noticing Hai Fugui next to him. His expression turned cold: "Why are you still here?"
Hai Fugui remained silent, sitting firmly in his chair, his thoughts unknown.
Seeing Director Li's reaction, Xu Qingqing became even more certain that his accident was related to Hai Fugui, and that Hai Fugui must have deliberately caused his injury, or even worse, wanted to kill Director Li.
Factory Director Li turned his head away, not wanting to see Hai Fugui, his former good brother who was now trying to kill him. He didn't want to see Hai Fugui's face at all. Being good brothers with him was the most regrettable thing he had ever done in his life.
He turned to Hai Fugui and said coldly, "Hai Fugui, I don't want to see you at all. I believe the police will give me an answer regarding your deliberate act of bumping into me and causing me to fall."
"Old Li, tell me, did Lao Hai deliberately push you, which caused you to get hurt?"
The man suddenly stood up, causing the stool to tip over. He stared incredulously at Hai Fugui, who had remained silent, and asked anxiously, "Old Hai, is what Old Li said true? Did you really do such a thing?"
Xu Qingqing stood aside watching the show, took out some snacks from her pocket, handed one to Director Li first, and then stuffed one into her own mouth.
Watch the show, watch the show, it's not her turn yet.
Factory Director Li ate a piece and found it quite delicious. He liked it very much, so he reached out to Xu Qingqing for another piece. Xu Qingqing took another bag out of her bag and handed it to him, so that he wouldn't have to ask her for more after finishing one piece.
After eating and drinking his fill, Director Li finally had time to join the fray. Pointing at Hai Fugui, he began to curse: "You bastard, you think you can evade responsibility by keeping quiet? Let me tell you, that's impossible. Facts are facts, and lies are useless. If it weren't for my good fortune and luck, I would have died at your hands long ago, you bastard."
"Shut up! Who's the bastard!"
Hai Fugui couldn't tolerate being called a bastard, so he suddenly stood up from his chair, rushed to Director Li's bedside, and tried to grab his clothes.
"Old Hai, what are you doing? Stop it—"
Xu Qingqing's eyes sharpened. She quickly picked up an empty water-hanging pole and held it against Hai Fugui's chest, saying calmly, "If Factory Director Hai takes another step forward, I can't guarantee that this thing in my hand won't end up inside your body."
