I emptied my family's possessions to join the army, and my abstinent superior doted on me.

Chapter 78 I'll Accompany You Tonight

Qiao Muting supported his arm, his body stiff, the pain preventing him from leaning back.

"Her name is Xiaoran, and that's me."

"Is this our sister-in-law?" The person in the rearview mirror grinned wickedly.

This caused the two people in the back row to fall silent.

A moment later, Qian Lai remembered the question that had been bothering him: "What are you doing here?"

"Old Qiao is a fortune teller. He knew that in the next couple of days, that woman might suffer revenge from that old dog Liu Shifan."

So he asked a few of us brothers to protect him secretly.

But who would have thought that he would save the damsel in distress twice in one day?

However, we were also surprised by Old Joe's sudden appearance. Perhaps it's just fate that brought you together! Hehe~

After listening to Zhu Yong's explanation, Qian Lai's gaze returned to Qiao Muting's face, with an expression that seemed to say, "I think I understand, but I don't quite understand."

Qiao Muting raised an eyebrow slightly, a cold glint in his eyes, and said, "Liu Shifan has committed numerous evils. He actually dared to drug you in that kind of situation, so don't blame me for digging up his dark past."

Qian Lai seemed to understand and continued to press, "Did you ask Jiang Yunshu to report Liu Shifan?"

"That's right! You're smart, sister-in-law," Zhu Yong replied with an embarrassed smile.

“Brother Zhu, I’m not your sister-in-law. We’re just friends. Please call me by my name, just like you did with Qiao Muting.”

Qian Lai's ears turned red, but Qiao Muting lowered his head and chuckled.

In Zhu Yong's eyes, the two men's performances showed that "Qiao Muting has not yet completely won over the man."

"So, the evidence was given to Jiang Yunshu by you?" Qian Lai turned to look at Qiao Muting and continued to ask.

“That’s right! If Old Qiao gives the order, we will definitely accomplish our mission!” Zhu Yong answered again.

“Actually, we’ve been investigating this Liu Shifan for a while now. He has a long list of crimes and has harmed many people. Gathering evidence isn’t difficult.” Qiao Muting looked at Qian Lai, who was looking astonished, and swallowed the words he was about to say.

Let's not bring up the Gu family matter with her yet. It involves people in higher positions; I don't want to scare the young girl.

He secretly glanced at the person next to him who was deep in thought. Her fair and delicate face was flushed from the fright she had just experienced.

Lost in deep thought, she unconsciously rubbed her cute little nose with her finger, her adorable appearance almost melting his heart.

The car drove for less than ten minutes before stopping at the main entrance of the Municipal People's Hospital.

Qian Lai helped Qiao Muting rush into the emergency room.

As soon as he entered, a male doctor rushed over. Upon seeing Qiao Muting, he stopped in his tracks and asked, "Deputy Director Qiao, what's this?"

This person had just finished arranging the transfer of patients at the hospital that afternoon, and in the blink of an eye, only a few hours later, he returned covered in blood.

"He was slashed by thugs," Qian Lai answered for him. At this moment, his face was completely pale, and his steps had become noticeably heavier.

"Go quickly and prepare an emergency room." The male doctor ordered the nurse beside him, and personally came up to take over from Qian Lai, helping Qiao Muting walk towards the emergency room.

Soon, everything was ready in the emergency room, and two male doctors and two nurses entered the room one after another to prepare for suturing.

"Wait a minute!" Qian Lai suddenly remembered that his hidden ailment was inconvenient to tell outsiders. So he decided to play the villain himself and clear the way for him.

At her startled cry, everyone turned around and stared at her, bewildered.

"Excuse me, could you please have the nurses leave for a moment? Just two male doctors would be fine."

She looked shy.

"Oh, I understand, I understand."

Having been through similar experiences, Director Li quickly understood.

Qiao Muting, lying on the hospital bed, smiled gratefully at her and said to the emergency room doctor, "Director Li, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Actually, two people would have been enough. But to show how much he valued Qiao Muting, Li Hande called in more people.

Since the family members are unwilling, there's no need to force them.

"Then you two can go out first."

The two nurses looked at each other: Is this person alright? What era are we living in? Why are they still clinging to this idea of ​​gender segregation?
They each glared at Qian Lai as they left.

Qian Lai didn't care about other people's opinions. It was the first time she had experienced how difficult it was to say something that was "not something that can be explained to outsiders."

He instantly understood Qiao Muting's pain.

At this moment, Zhu Yong parked his car and rushed over.

"Did Old Qiao go in?" Zhu Yong asked.

Qian Lai nodded, glancing anxiously into the emergency room every now and then.

Zhu Yong: Look at how worried he is, still not admitting she's his "sister-in-law". We have to give Lao Qiao a push, otherwise when will this bachelor of a thousand years ever settle down and start a family?

"Uh~ Oh~"

Occasionally, Qiao Muting's muffled groans could be heard from inside the emergency room.

Every time he groaned, it seemed to make Qian Lai's heart clench.

Finally, the door to the processing room opened, and Li Hande was the first to walk out.

Qian Lai was the first to rush over, anxiously asking, "Doctor, how is he?"

"The injury on my upper arm is nothing serious, but the injury on my back was more severe and the wound is deeper."

It's best to stay in the hospital for observation today, especially tonight, as there's a possibility of developing a high fever.

You family members need to be extra careful tonight.

In hot weather, do not cover the wound, and absolutely avoid getting it wet. This can cause it to fester and become inflamed.

You should also pay attention to a light diet.

The most important thing is tonight!

The most important thing is tonight!

Qian Lai made up her mind and turned to Zhu Yong, saying, "Brother Zhu, I'm going to call home now. I'll stay with him tonight."

Zhu Yong smiled as he watched her run away, secretly cheering for Qiao Muting in his heart.

This injury was timely and ingenious.

After tonight, the girl will become the sister-in-law.

Just as he was feeling quite pleased with himself, the emergency room door opened again. Qiao Muting walked out behind another doctor.

But all they saw was Zhu Yong standing alone at the entrance of the emergency room.

Has she left again?

Doesn't she care at all about her injuries?

Disappointment welled up in Qiao Muting's heart.

His expression suddenly became indescribable.

"She called home and said she'd keep you company tonight."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Muting's expression visibly shifted from disappointment to joy.

Zhu Yong tilted his head, probing his expression: "So, you're that happy? Oh my, Comrade Qiao, I can tell you're all lovestruck."

If you like someone, just do it. Being too obvious will attract too many enemies.

"Are these your clothes?" As the two were talking, a nurse standing beside them asked, holding up Qiao Muting's white shirt, which was ripped and stained with blood.

"Throw it away."

"Hey, no way. Give it to me." Zhu Yong took the white shirt with a "you wouldn't understand" look on his face. "You have to keep it, it'll be very useful."

To allow Qiao Muting to rest quietly, Li Hande went to great lengths to carve out a double room for him.

"I'm sorry, Deputy Director Qiao. There are a lot of emergency patients today, and this is the only double room available. Would it be alright if you could make do with it for the night?"

"no problem."

When Qian Lai returned to the ward, the nurse happened to be there to deliver a patient gown.

Upon seeing her enter, his expression immediately changed, and his tone became much harsher.

"Just wear pants. It's too hot now, don't cover up with a shirt. Sweating a lot can easily infect the wound." After saying that, she turned around and walked out, not forgetting to glare at Qian Lai again as she passed by.

"Oh, right. Have him lie on his side or stomach, not on his back."

When he said this, he didn't even glance at Qian Lai, but only gave instructions to Zhu Yong.

Qian Lai didn't care and sat down next to Qiao Muting. When she looked up, she saw the blood-stained white shirt on his bedside table.

My heart tightened suddenly, and my eyes were filled with worry.

"I'm sorry, it's all because you were trying to save me that you got so badly injured and lost so much blood."

"What are you saying? Protecting you is my duty. Look, I've also caused you to get the nurses' glares."

Qiao Muting's lips curled up slightly, revealing a handsome curve.

"Ignorance is no excuse. If I were in the patient's family, I would also find someone like me annoying."
