Hospital ward entrance.
As soon as Lu Hechen appeared, Officer Wen immediately approached and asked, "Mr. Mu, do you need anything else?"
"I'd like to have a private talk with Qiao Jingchen," Lu Hechen said.
"Oh, okay," Officer Wen nodded. "Go ahead, he still seems the same, very calm."
"Mm," Lu Hechen nodded and walked inside.
When he entered the ward, Qiao Jingchen felt someone come in, lifted his numb eyes, and was momentarily taken aback upon seeing Lu Hechen, then coldly turned his face away.
Lu Hechen wasn't in a hurry to speak. He walked to the bedside, stood there, looking down at him from an elevated position.
In the beginning, Qiao Jingchen didn't mind, but when Lu Hechen stood there beside the bed, looking down at him without saying a word, Qiao Jingchen started to get uneasy.
After about three minutes of silence, with both men not speaking,
it was as if they were engaging in a contest of wills.
