Chapter 861: Qin Huai’s Hospitalization (1)

This was exactly what Zhao Youlin wanted. Right now, she really didn’t want to face Lu Xiangtian at all. She didn’t know why, but his presence simply repelled her.

After finishing up at the police station, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng smoothly left the police station. However, they didn’t expect to meet Lu Xiangtian once they left the police station.

“Mr. Lu.” Zhao Youlin forced a smile and looked at Lu Xiangtian with obvious repulsion.

Lu Xiangtian naturally realized this. “I just wanted to see if there’s anything wrong with Ms. Zhao and Mr. Mu.”

“We’re fine. Thank you for saving us today, Mr. Lu.”

“Of course. It’s good that Ms. Zhao and Mr. Mu are fine. Since you both went through a traumatic experience today, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll visit you again another day.”

Lu Xiangtian’s willingness to leave surprised Zhao Youlin. Had he waited outside for so long just to talk to them?

Regardless, Lu Xiangtian was willing to take a step back and leave for the time being, which made Zhao Youlin greatly relieved.

“Let’s go back.” Mu Tingfeng held Zhao Youlin’s shoulder and asked in a low voice.

Zhao Youlin nodded, and the two of them sat back in their car. When they saw the bullet marks on the rear window, their faces turned pale.

Zhao Youlin, in particular, had died in a chaotic battle in her previous life. Now, bullets were flying at her once again, and she didn’t even have the ability to protect herself. It was truly frustrating.

“Do you think those people were coming for us, or Lu Xiangtian?”

Zhao Youlin’s straightforward question made Mu Tingfeng fall silent for a moment. “There is a one percent chance that they were coming for Lu Xiangtian, and a ninety-nine percent chance that they were coming for us.”

“Oh?” Zhao Youlin raised her eyebrows. “Why do you say so?”

“It’s too much of a coincidence. Those people knew our route home. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chosen such a place to attack us. So it’s very likely that they were coming for us.”

Mu Tingfeng seemed to have thought of something as he turned to look at Zhao Youlin. “Have you offended anyone recently?”

“Offended who?” Zhao Youlin pondered for a moment before a figure suddenly appeared in her mind. “Could it be him?”

“Him?”

“Lu Sizheng!”

Mu Tingfeng’s expression changed when he heard this name. He recalled the conflict with Lu Sizheng at the temple. He had to admit that the possibility was quite high.

Zhao Youlin also thought that the possibility was very high, but she wasn’t thinking about the conflict between Mu Tingfeng and Lu Sizheng that day. She was thinking about whether Lu Sizheng truly suspected that she was Zhao Youlin the policewoman?

If that was really the case, then could it be that she had offended him in the past, for him to send people to make things difficult for her at this point in time?

“I…” Mu Tingfeng frowned and thought about it for a long time. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Youlin’s phone suddenly rang.

Zhao Youlin gestured at him to stop and picked up the phone. “Hello, it’s me. What’s the matter?”

Zhao Youlin’s expression suddenly changed when she heard what was being said on the other end of the phone. “What did you say? Qin Huai is in the hospital?! Which hospital? Yes, okay, I’ll be there right away. Okay, thank you.”

Mu Tingfeng furrowed his brows deeply when he heard Zhao Youlin mention Qin Huai. He immediately asked after Zhao Youlin hung up the phone, “Qin Huai, that Qin Huai?”

“Yes,” Zhao Youlin replied. Realizing that Mu Tingfeng might misunderstand, she quickly explained, “Qin Huai has proven himself to be a good private eye, so I asked him to help me look into some things. I didn’t expect that he would get hurt.”

Mu Tingfeng was stunned. Although he didn’t like Zhao Youlin getting too close to other men, since Zhao Youlin had already said it, he couldn’t just turn a blind eye.

“He’s in the hospital?”

“Yes, I heard that he was also in a car accident.” Zhao Youlin frowned as she spoke. She felt that this accident was too much of a coincidence.

Mu Tingfeng thought the same. He secretly wondered if Qin Huai had been tasked to investigate the Lu family. Was his accident related?

“Are you going to visit him?”

“Yes.” Zhao Youlin nodded. She was worried that he would get jealous. Before she could say anything, she heard Mu Tingfeng reply, “I’ll go with you.”

“You’ll go with me?” Zhao Youlin suddenly widened her eyes in surprise.

Mu Tingfeng nodded slightly. He said matter-of-factly, “If he was really hurt because of you, it’s understandable for you to visit him. Besides, you were just attacked. Who knows if there are still people lying in wait to ambush you? I don’t feel at ease letting you go alone.”

With Mu Tingfeng’s words, Zhao Youlin really had no reason to refuse. She could only nod.

Qin Huai had gotten in a car accident on the way out. However, he was not hit, but his own car had a problem.

At that time, Qin Huai was about to call Zhao Youlin. After the car accident, Qin Huai was brought in for first aid. The hospital nurse then reached Zhao Youlin with her phone.

After Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng rushed to the hospital, they found out that Qin Huai’s reactions had been relatively quick. After the car hit the sandbank, it stopped. He only suffered scratches on his hands, but his leg was stuck in the pedals and fractured. He did not suffer any other injuries.

Zhao Youlin was greatly relieved that there were no severe injuries. When Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng entered the ward to visit, there was a teenager in the ward.

The young man had his back to the two of them and was lecturing Qin Huai, who was lying on the bed. One of Qin Huai’s legs was in a cast and suspended in the air. He silently listened to the young man’s nagging, with a helpless expression on his face.

“Brother, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but I’ve already said that your broken-down car is very unsafe, but you refused to listen. Isn’t it a tragedy now? It just so happens that the car was also damaged this time. Hurry up and get a new one. If I get scared again, I’ll probably lose ten years of my life.”

Brother? Was it the careless brother who slipped everything up in the past?

Qin Huai was unlike his careless brother. He had noticed the moment Zhao Youlin and Zhao Youlin entered the room. He interrupted his brother’s nagging gleefully and said with a smile, “Ms. Zhao, you’re here.”

Only then did Qin Sheng notice that there were other people in the ward. He awkwardly stopped talking and turned his head to look. “You… Hello.”
