"Good! Admirable spirit! I, Lin Chan, genuinely respect you!" Lin Chan said, patting He Teng heavily on the shoulder. "Don’t worry about Zhilan here, we’ve got her in our care! I treat her as a dear sister! If she doesn’t want to return to school immediately after she’s discharged, I’ll bring her home, where my mother and grandmother can look after her. You can be at ease!"
"Thank you," He Teng nodded, "I’ll hurry back."
Lin Chan hummed in acknowledgement, watching as He Teng stepped out of his line of sight.
At this moment, Lin Chan truly admired He Teng from the bottom of his heart. A man who doesn’t strive for personal gain but instead works to protect someone from being threatened by others. A person who prioritizes loyalty over profits, it’s no wonder that Xing Ye values He Teng so highly.
As long as He Teng is exceptional, with the Xing Family’s Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free! In the future, He Teng will undoubtedly be a great ally for Xing Ye.
He Zhilan knew when He Teng left. Before he left, he silently cleaned up the sickroom and gave her several instructions. She knew that He Teng had decided to undertake the mission.
After He Teng left, He Zhilan didn’t have the strength to talk anymore. She glanced at her good friends in the hospital room and asked them to go about their business. She knew how busy Lin Chan was and she just wanted to stay in the hospital and have some quiet time on her own.
Seeing He Zhilan insistence, Lin Chan persuaded Jiang Biyun and the others to leave. He asked the nurses to pay extra attention to He Zhilan. Still worried, he hired a caregiver to watch over her without her knowing, then hurriedly returned to the company to handle some business. He figured that he could make it back to the hospital to have lunch with He Zhilan.
Once everyone left, He Zhilan, who had just had a sedative, couldn’t resist the fatigue of her body and fell asleep.
Meanwhile, at the police station, Chen Yun was in over his head.
"Are you idiots? Or are you morons? Didn’t you think to have a female officer frisk her before you locked her up?" Chen Yun slapped the table, at a loss for words. His hand rained down on the table as if it didn’t hurt, making a series of loud slaps.
"Director, it’s our negligence! We didn’t expect a lady from a distinguished family like Miss Gu to carry a knife with her," a junior police officer said, his voice getting lower and lower. "We also didn’t expect her to attempt suicide by slitting her wrists the moment we turned our backs."
"Negligence, negligence! What was my order to you guys? A few of you were assigned to keep an eye on her, you can’t even blink more than necessary! If she doesn’t make it, how are you guys going to explain to the Gu Family!" Chen Yun was so angry he wanted to shoot this group of stupid cops. He regretted ever bringing these guys into his team.
"Rest assured, Director! We discovered her in time. Miss Gu’s life is not in danger. If the Gu Family comes looking for an explanation, let them beat or scold us, we’ll take it! We won’t let them touch a single hair on your head!" a junior police officer said, beating his chest in guarantee.
"You take it? Your entire family relies on you. Can you handle it? What will you do after you take the heat, beg on the streets with your family? Get lost, you bunch of idiots are making me angry!" Chen Yun kicked the man in the ass, then picked up the phone to call Lin Chan and Xing Ye and told them that Gu En, that little bastard, had attempted suicide by slitting her wrists on his watch.
On the other end, Xing Ye and Lin Chan were stunned speechless when they received the call.
"Is her life in danger?" Lin Chan asked.
"Shouldn’t be, we discovered it early, she should be able to be rescued." Chen Yun spit out angrily, cursing, "This little bastard Gu En, I bet she thought the Gu Family won’t bother with her since she committed such a big crime. So she played the suicide card, trying to pull off a sympathy stratagem. I bet the older generation of the Gu and Lan families are crying and wailing right now."
