One nurse was holding an infusion bottle, another was pushing an operating cart, and Doctor Chen was by the bedside.

"How is it, Doctor Chen?" Su Bai and Wan Qili quickly got up and walked closer. They saw that Zhou Beiwang's eyes were closed and he had not woken up yet, with a bandage wrapped around his head.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Kong, the operation was successful and there's nothing serious."

"Qian Rufei's lousy mouth!" Su Bai remembered Qian Rufei saying to him that Zhou Beiwang was going to die. Wasn't this just meant to scare him?

Only then did I realize that Qian Rufei had not arrived yet.

"If he's not seriously injured, why isn't he awake yet?" Wan Qili asked.

Doctor Chen told her that Zhou Beiwang was under general anesthesia and would wake up after the effect of the drug wore off.

Several people came to the ward, and Doctor Chen introduced Zhou Beiwang's condition. He was shot twice, one in the head and one in the back.

The shot to the head was not so bad, it just grazed the skull, no big deal.

The shot in the back was close to the heart, so the operation took a long time.

Doctor Chen looked at his watch and said, "It took nearly four hours."

"Who beat him?" Su Bai asked.

Doctor Chen shook his head. Zhou Beiwang was shot at Linhua long-distance bus station at around 11:00 am. There were several policemen nearby when the gunshots happened. The murderer ran away after firing the gun. The police failed to catch him and only saw his back from a distance.

"Yes, he was supposed to go to Qingdao today." Su Bai remembered that Zhou Beiwang said he was going to Qingdao today and asked Su Bai to give the medicine to Bai Ying before dark today and let Bai Ying deliver the medicine to Linhua.

Bai Ying took the medicine away in the morning.

"He came back from Qingdao." Military doctor Chen said that there happened to be a military vehicle going to Qingdao last night, so Zhou Beiwang took the vehicle to Qingdao. Today, he took a long-distance bus back to Linhua, and he was ambushed as soon as he got off the bus.

At this time, Qian Rufei also ran into the ward panting. It turned out that Bai Ying was not in the company headquarters and borrowing the horse had delayed some time.

Qian Rufei told Su Bai that after Zhou Beiwang was sent to the operating room, people from the regiment went to the police station to inquire about the murderer, but found nothing.

He angrily cursed: "The police station is full of rubbish. They couldn't even catch a person. Apart from seeing a large canvas bag on the murderer's shoulder, they couldn't even tell how old the murderer was, or how tall, short, fat or thin he was!"

Su Bai's heart skipped a beat. A big canvas bag?

Isn’t Kong Dai just carrying a big canvas bag?

The timing also matched. When Kong Dai returned to the Kong Mansion, the annoying lunch had just begun and the dishes had not yet been served.

Think about it again, after Kong Nanwei's farce calmed down, Kong Dai sat at the table and drank alone without saying a word...

Also, after being in Qingdao for so many days, he did not come to settle the bill with me when he came back, which was unusual. Wasn't it because he had done something wrong?

Su Bai didn't believe that there were so many coincidences in this world. She thought that the person who attacked Zhou Beiwang was most likely Kong Dai.

Kong Dai's reason for wanting to kill Zhou Beiwang was absurd but also sufficient. He wanted to protect the chastity of the eldest lady of the Kong family.

Su Bai remembered the cold and fierce look in Kong Dai's eyes when he twisted Zhou Beiwang's ear at the steps outside the lobby.

It must be him!

He had told and hinted to himself more than once not to get too close to Zhou Beiwang, but after what he saw yesterday, he finally decided to kill him.

It was a coincidence that Zhou Beiwang came back from Qingdao and he also came back from Qingdao.

It's probably the same car.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?" Wan Qili asked.

Su Bai asked Qian Rufei: "How often does the long-distance bus from Linhua to Qingdao run?"

Qian Rufei told Su Bai that there were five shifts every day, running in both directions.

The first bus is at 8 am, with buses running every two hours and the last bus at 4 pm.

According to the time calculation, Zhou Beiwang returned from Qingdao on the first long-distance bus at 8 o'clock in the morning.

The journey is more than 100 kilometers, with stops and starts along the way. It would take two and a half hours if we were fast, and about three hours in most cases.

The road conditions are not good these days, and the cars are not good either, so this speed is considered normal.

As he spoke, Zhou Beiwang's eyelids moved.

"Wake up, wake up!" Wan Qili shouted.

Zhou Beiwang slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Su Bai who was half leaning over him. He immediately grinned, revealing a row of neat and white teeth, and smiled.

"I, just now..." Zhou Beiwang said a few words before being stopped by Su Bai: "Stop talking, are you okay? Do you have a headache?"

Zhou Beiwang pretended not to hear what Su Bai said and continued what he hadn't finished saying: "I just had a dream."

"Did you dream about my sister?" Wan Qili immediately explained, "My sister is Su Bai!"

Su Bai couldn't help but look at her. What a gossip! It seemed that people have been keen on gossip for a long time.

Zhou Beiwang smiled again: "Yes."

It's getting corny again.

Wan Qili was so interested, and Zhou Beiwang was eager to speak despite his weak body, so Su Bai couldn't stop him.

It's getting even more disgusting.

Zhou Beiwang said that he dreamed of Su Bai wearing a white wedding dress, with a red veil on her head, sitting quietly beside the bed, with red candles lit all over the room.

Su Bai couldn't listen any more: "Wearing a wedding dress and covering your head, how did you come up with this combination?"

"It's not what I thought. This is what I dreamed about."

Wan Qili, who was standing by, pushed Su Bai aside and asked Zhou Beiwang, "She is sitting by the bed, where are you? Are you kneeling on the ground?"

Zhou Beiwang said he didn't know whether he was kneeling or standing at the time. He only knew that he was looking at Su Bai. When he was about to reach out to lift the veil, he woke up from the dream.

"Captain Zhou, get well soon. I believe your dream will come true!" Wan Qili took Zhou Beiwang's hand and shook it.

Qian Rufei said at the side: "Dreams are always the opposite!"

Wan Qili punched him in the chest: "Do you know how to speak, idiot?"

This punch directly knocked Qian Rufei back a few steps, and he covered his chest and said, "You are so strong, have you practiced before?"

Su Bai said meaningfully: "Practice? I don't even know what she has practiced. How about you two compete and see who is better?"

Wan Qili fooled Su Bai with just one sentence: "How dare he, a grown man, fight with me?" Then she asked Qian Rufei: "Isn't that right, idiot?"

Qian Rufei scratched his head: "Don't curse me, how am I stupid?"

Zhou Beiwang said weakly: "Miss Wan is right, you are just a little stupid."

"Not stupid!" Only Su Bai spoke for Qian Rufei: "You are telling the truth, dreams are the opposite of reality!"

After he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful. Would this hurt Zhou Beiwang's feelings?

He immediately leaned over and said to Zhou Beiwang, "Take good care of your injuries. Overthinking won't do any good to your wounds. I'll come to see you when I have time in the next few days."

Zhou Beiwang smiled again: "I'll wait for you."

Alas, these men, why do they all climb up as soon as they are given a pole?

Since Zhou Beiwang was not in danger, Su Bai prepared to say goodbye. She wanted to go back to Kong Dai and ask him to explain the matter clearly.

As for how to deal with him, let's see what he says.
