"So... last night’s car accident?"
"Our colleagues are investigating the relationship between the perpetrator and Liu Yifan." Huang Xiumin’s eyes lowered slightly, "But we haven’t found out yet."
"But how could this be just a coincidence?"
Huang Xiumin gritted his teeth, "Lin Wan just found two suspected cases, and she had just questioned the family of the second case’s suspect during the day before yesterday. Then the next night, on her way ho, she had an accident!"
Lu Zheng’s gaze remained fixed on Lin Wan’s pale yet delicate face.
The ward fell into silence, with only the movent and sound of the nurse changing Lin Wan’s dication.
...
Until noon, Lin Wan’s eyes moved slightly and she opened them.
"Lu Zheng?"
"Xiumin?"
Facing the worried eyes of Lu Zheng and Huang Xiumin, Lin Wan gave a weak smile, "Don’t worry, I’m okay."
"You’re okay..."
Lu Zheng held Lin Wan’s hand, "Yes, you’re okay, you will be okay!"
Lin Wan looked towards Huang Xiumin.
Huang Xiumin said irritably, "I told Lu Zheng about it!"
Lin Wan was taken aback by these words.
Lu Zheng sighed, "Why didn’t you tell I might be targeted for revenge?"
Lin Wan forced a smile, "It’s our responsibility to ensure that those who act bravely are not afraid or subject to revenge."
"And then you landed yourself in a hospital bed?"
Lin Wan retorted irritably, "How are you even talking?"
After a pause, she turned to ask Huang Xiumin, "What’s my condition? When can I be discharged?"
Huang Xiumin’s face stiffened.
Lin Wan stared at Huang Xiumin, a sinking feeling hitting her heart, then she turned to Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng remained silent.
"What’s... What’s wrong with ?"
Lin Wan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, asking in a calm voice.
Still, no one spoke.
"There’s nothing that can’t be said; I’m not dead, my hands are fine, and my feet..."
Suddenly Lin Wan paused, because she realized she couldn’t feel her legs.
"My... my..." Lin Wan’s face suddenly turned pale.
Lu Zheng tightened his grip on Lin Wan’s hand, "Don’t worry, it’s just nerve damage, there will definitely be a way to recover."
Lin Wan gripped Lu Zheng’s hand tightly, her whole body starting to tremble.
Huang Xiumin turned his head to look in another direction.
After a while...
"I’m okay, not dying is already fortunate, right?" Lin Wan’s voice sounded softly.
"No, this isn’t fortune; the perpetrator is still at large, and you’re actually grateful for not dying?" Lu Zheng squeezed Lin Wan’s hand, speaking in a low voice, "This isn’t over, leave the rest to ."
"Lu Zheng!"
"Hmm?"
"Promise you won’t commit a cri." Lin Wan stared at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng looked at Lin Wan, but did not answer.
"My colleagues will catch him!" Lin Wan looked at Lu Zheng, "You’re not allowed to intervene!"
Lu Zheng chuckled coldly, "You’re police officers, catching soone requires evidence."
"Bang!"
The ward door was suddenly pushed open, Li Jinglin and Liang Yuandong ca in together, followed by Liu Leng.
"How’s it going?" Huang Xiumin imdiately stood up and asked.
Li Jinglin looked at Lu Zheng.
But Lu Zheng didn’t even look at him, just held Lin Wan’s hand, comforting her in a low voice.
"Don’t worry, the bone fragnts have been removed. Your inability to feel your lower body is due to spinal nerve damage.
This basically involves a recovery issue, with good recovery, you can stand up again.
You’re young, you exercise often, you have a good physical foundation, and good recovery ability, so the likelihood of recovery is actually very high."
"Lu Zheng."
Lin Wan had no choice but to interrupt Lu Zheng, signaling with her eyes, "You’ve stayed with all night, you must be tired, go back and rest, have a good sleep."
Lu Zheng pursed his lips, seeing that Lin Wan’s spirit seed to have indeed recovered sowhat, he then turned his head to take a glance at Li Jinglin and the others.
"Alright, I’ll go back first, and co back in the evening."
Huang Xiumin added, "We’ve already inford Lin Wan’s mother; she’s catching the high-speed rail today, might arrive in the afternoon."
"You’ve inford my mom?" Lin Wan looked up, her heart suddenly in turmoil.
Huang Xiumin glared at her, "Could you have hidden it? How long could you hide it?"
"Oh." Lin Wan could only respond helplessly, her expression sowhat confused.
Lu Zheng stood up, kissed Lin Wan on the face in front of everyone.
Lin Wan’s face turned red.
Lu Zheng turned around, facing Huang Xiumin, using his body to block everyone, he made a phone call gesture with his right hand on his chest.
Huang Xiumin noticed and nodded slightly.
Then Lu Zheng turned around, nodding to greet Li Jinglin and the others, he prepared to leave.
"Lu Zheng." Li Jinglin called out to Lu Zheng.
"Captain Li."
"Don’t worry, Lin Wan is under my command, I’ll follow through on this matter."
"I believe you." Lu Zheng nodded.
Li Jinglin also nodded, "Go back to rest first, spend more ti with Lin Wan later."
...
Lu Zheng went ho, first traveled back in ti to tell Uncle Li that he might be frequently unavailable recently, then went to Liu Family to inform Liu Qingyan that he had things to attend to recently, and wouldn’t be able to go to Renxin Hall during the day for now.
Then he traveled back, resting his eyes while waiting for Huang Xiumin’s call.
"Ring ring ring—"
"Hello, what’s happening?"
"The other side got smart, didn’t leave direct evidence or a trail of benefits."
"So there are indirect ones then?"
"The perpetrator has a daughter studying in the Lighthouse Country," Huang Xiumin said over the phone, "Heard she’s quite wasteful, and got involved with drugs. Moreover, she just graduated this year, currently interning at the branch company of Longxia Group in the Lighthouse Country.
Longxia Group is Liu Yifan’s family business, founded by his grandfather, now run by his father, with Liu Yifan also holding a project manager position in the company."
Lu Zheng snorted, "So this situation doesn’t count as evidence, of course."
Huang Xiumin said solemnly, "Yes."
"The shady things he’s doing, are his parents involved?"
"Not sure, but considering Liu Yifan’s status, many things don’t necessarily need his parents’ involvent."
Lu Zheng turned his head, looking at the already westward sun, "Rich people sure know how to have fun!"
"But this matter can’t be covered up."
"Does he plan to cover it up?"
"No," Huang Xiumin said, "But we’ve got an eye on him, he’ll definitely be more cautious from now on, so..."
Lu Zheng took a deep breath.
"So, are you saying Lin Wan exchanged her injuries for my safety?"
Silence on the other end of the phone.
"She’s such a fool! Doesn’t she know how capable I am!"
"No, she knows, that’s why she’s worried you might make a mistake in anger, she doesn’t want to catch you herself."
"She knows..."
Lu Zheng’s voice stopped, taking several deep breaths to ease the blocked feeling in his chest.
"Alright, I get it."
"You won’t make things difficult for Lin Wan, right?"
Huang Xiumin’s voice was full of contradiction, "I’m telling you this to keep you in the loop, also, don’t let Lin Wan down, okay?"
At this point, Huang Xiumin’s voice was already choked with emotion.
"I know, I won’t."
...
Lu Zheng hung up the phone, went out for a casual al, and returned to the hospital.
"Lin Wan."
"Ah... Auntie."
Lu Zheng also saw a middle-aged woman sitting by Lin Wan’s bedside.
A woman in her fifties, bearing a slight resemblance to Lin Wan, just looking quite worn.
"Hello." Lin’s Mother nodded.
"Lu Zheng." Lin Wan’s deanor was calm, seeming to have regained her peace.
"I have sothing to tell you."
"Hmm?" Lu Zheng’s heart skipped a beat, facing Lin Wan’s eyes that were calm as water.
"The doctor just told , my spinal nerve injury is severe, there’s almost no possibility of recovery."
Lu Zheng was about to speak, but Lin Wan interrupted him, "Let finish.
The city’s leadership contacted the police station in my hotown, once my health improves, I’ll be transferred to work in the logistics departnt at the hotown police station.
So, I might have to return to my hotown in half a month and won’t be staying in Hai City anymore."
Lin Wan looked at Lu Zheng, her eyes gentle and serene, her expression relaxed and natural.
"So, let’s break up."
