Fang Xiaocao wanted to use a pillow to beat Su Wanqing to death.
Giving a patient, drinking beer...
Was that something a human could do?
Now, Fang Xiaocao was suddenly feeling a bit relieved.
Luckily she had been thirsty just now, and Su Wanqing wasn't there.
Otherwise, with Su Wanqing's boldness, she really could have poured a can of beer into her mouth.
"Come on, drink up!"
"Spicy Hot Noodles with beer, so refreshing."
Su Wanqing's hearty laughter made Fang Xiaocao imagine an exquisite scene where Zhang Fei was persuading Li Kui to dance the Little Swan.
"Why didn't you just buy some duck dishes while you were at it?"
Fang Xiaocao glared at Su Wanqing and said unhappily.
"Huh?"
Hearing that, Su Wanqing was taken aback.
Then, her eyes lit up and she exclaimed, "Right, why didn't I think of that?"
With that, Su Wanqing leapt up from the stool and dashed out of the sickroom.
While running, she also shouted, "Xiaocao, wait for me, I'll go buy it now."
"And spicy crayfish, they're the perfect match for beer."
Watching Su Wanqing's hurried figure, Fang Xiaocao opened her mouth but still didn't call her back.
"I'm tired, just let everything go to ruin!"
Fang Xiaocao muttered, feeling disheartened.
"Creak~"
The door to the sickroom was pushed open, and Fang Xiaocao looked in the direction of the sound.
She saw Song Lin and Wang Qiang entering the sickroom.
Trailing behind them was the young female officer who had taken her statement last time.
"Heard from the doctor that you've woken up, so we came to visit."
Song Lin said with a smile, dressed in a patient's uniform.
Imprisoned in a dirty and chaotic basement for a whole year, Song Lin's iron body had wasted away to nothing, leaving many hidden health issues. Now that he had been rescued, he was staying in the hospital for recuperation.
The sickroom was right next to Fang Xiaocao's, so as Wang Qiang and the young female officer came to take Xiaocao's statement, they took the opportunity to check on Fang Xiaocao as well.
"Captain Song, please have a seat."
Fang Xiaocao said with a smile.
Song Lin smiled and nodded. He pulled over a stool and was just about to sit down when he saw the Spicy Hot Noodles and beer on the bedside table. His expression suddenly became very colorful.
"You're eating so... before you've even been discharged,"
Song Lin stopped mid-sentence.
For the moment, he couldn't find an appropriate adjective.
"Hehe..."
Fang Xiaocao laughed awkwardly.
But in her heart, she had already started to worry about Su Wanqing.
"Su Wanqing, why don't you just go die~"
"Su Wanqing, is your brain okay?"
"Su Wanqing, oh how I thank you~"
Fang Xiaocao felt that having Su Wanqing as a "good girlfriend" was truly a blessing she must have accrued from the virtues of her past eight lifetimes.
"Yo?"
"Got into the small beers, have you?"
Wang Qiang teased with a smile.
Fang Xiaocao forced a sheepish smile.
How embarrassing!
Fang Xiaocao wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into and hide.
"My girlfriend bought it..."
After struggling for a long time, Fang Xiaocao finally stammered out the explanation.
"Pfft~"
Upon hearing Fang Xiaocao's feeble excuse, Wang Qiang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Song Lin and the young female officer beside him also couldn't help but grin.
As elite detectives who had seen all sorts of peculiar things, they instantly understood what was going on.
After all, they had encountered weirder situations during their investigations.
For instance: A foolish brother feeding his gravely injured, comatose older brother hard liquor, saying his brother loved to drink and would wake up with alcohol.
However… there were cephalosporins in the brother's medicine.
A swig of hard liquor, just out of the emergency room, led to him being rushed back in again.
"Xiaoli, go buy a serving of plain congee for Xiaocao."
Song Lin said to the young female officer with a smile.
"Okay, Captain Song."
The young female officer nodded and turned to leave the hospital room.
"Although the injury isn't serious, it's still better to eat something light,"
Song Lin said with a smile.
Fang Xiaocao shot a grateful glance at Song Lin.
"Xiaocao, you're really brave!"
Wang Qiang, standing beside, said with a smile.
"Well, it was an emergency situation~"
Fang Xiaocao said with an embarrassed smile.
"By the way, did they catch Qi Yu?"
Fang Xiaocao asked, looking at Wang Qiang.
Before losing consciousness, Fang Xiaocao remembered faintly hearing Wang Qiang's voice.
"They caught him, he's in the intensive care unit now,"
"He didn't fasten his seatbelt, and wasn't as lucky as you; his injuries are quite severe,"
Wang Qiang said with a smile.
"Your car, it's probably totaled."
"I've applied for a bravery award for you at the precinct, although it's not a lot of money, it should help compensate for some of the loss,"
Wang Qiang said with a smile, sitting beside her.
"There's a reward too?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaocao's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, I specifically applied for it for you,"
"There's also a pennant and a certificate."
"Later, I'll have our colleagues from the publicity department deliver them directly to your school,"
Wang Qiang said, nodding and smiling.
"As for the car, if it needs to be scrapped, I can personally try to pull some strings and handle it for you,"
Song Lin also offered with a smile.
Fang Xiaocao's courage and decisiveness won the appreciation of the two officers, who both were willing to go out of their way to help her.
"Thank you, Captain Song,"
Fang Xiaocao said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, Captain Song,"
"You mentioned that Qi Yu was involved in other matters?"
"What are they?"
"Without what you said, I wouldn't have hit him."
Fang Xiaocao asked with curiosity and a hint of gossip.
"This Qi Yu, indeed, is involved in other cases,"
Song Lin nodded and said in a serious tone.
"I only learned about this from his own mouth after I was locked up."
"The case is still being investigated and is confidential, so I can't give you the details,"
At this point, a nostalgic look flashed in Song Lin's eyes.
Then he smiled and added, "However, I can tell you a story."
"When I was undercover, I accidentally obtained some intelligence that was very important to him,"
"For the past six months, he didn't kill me because he was scheming to find out this information from me."
"If I hadn't kept silent, I probably would have been dead by his hand a long time ago."
After finishing, Song Lin laughed and said, "That's the end of the story, you shouldn't be so puzzled now."
"Actually, what you really want to know is how I managed not to be killed by Qi Yu, right?"
Song Lin directly pointed out Fang Xiaocao's hidden thoughts.
Fang Xiaocao stuck out her tongue shyly and laughed, embarrassed that Song Lin had called out her thoughts.
"Alright, let's leave the chit-chat for later,"
"First, let Wang Qiang take your statement,"
"Describe in detail how you came to follow Qi Yu and found me,"
Song Lin said, checking the time with a smile.
Fang Xiaocao nodded and looked at Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang opened his notebook and said, "We can start now."
Fang Xiaocao nodded, organized her thoughts, concealed the existence of Hot Noodles, embellished the events a bit, and began her account.
"Hahaha, you're both courageous and clever,"
After hearing Fang Xiaocao's account, Song Lin commented with a laugh.
Fang Xiaocao giggled with a "hehe," feeling quite proud of the praise from Song Lin.
After all, he was a legendary police chief.
Even though she had miscalculated and been outsmarted by Qi Yu,
It didn't detract from Fang Xiaocao's admiration for Song Lin's past achievements.
