The next morning, several people embarked on a journey to City C.

"Brother Gu, are we going directly to the police station now?" Yuqi asked Gu Yanting who was driving beside her with a little shyness.

Gu Yanting did not answer her question, but stared ahead with a serious expression and drove silently.

Soon, the car stopped in front of the hospital in City C. Seeing Gu Yanting unbuckle his seat belt and prepare to get out of the car, Yuqi and Du Yang looked at each other in confusion, then turned their heads and looked at Gu Yanting inquiringly.

"Brother Gu, what are you doing in the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?" Looking at Gu Yanting's appearance, Yuqi leaned over and asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. I have something to do in the hospital. You go to the police station to hand over your work first. I'll come to you later." After saying that, Gu Yanting threw the key in his hand to Du Yang, and then walked into the hospital.

Watching Gu Yanting's back as he walked away, Du Yang was silent for a while, then prepared to get in the car and leave, but Yuqi had no intention of leaving.

"Yuqi, let's go! Why don't you get in the car?"

"Let's follow and take a look. I always feel that something is wrong with Brother Gu's mood. I want to find out what happened to him." After Yu Qi said this, she followed Gu Yanting's back without looking back.

Seeing Yuqi also followed, Du Yang thought for a moment, parked the car and followed as well. If neither of them were going, it wouldn't be much use if he went alone, so it would be better to wait until they were done and then go together to meet them.

"Hello! There is a patient named Yun Miao who was injured and admitted to the hospital. Which ward is she in now?" Gu Yanting came to the inpatient department and asked the nurse on duty at the nurse station.

"The patient is in VIP Ward No. 1 upstairs. You will be able to see him when you go up." After checking, the nurse told Gu Yanting the location of the ward.

"Thank you."

After thanking him, Gu Yanting walked upstairs. Yuqi and Duyang followed closely behind him. With Gu Yanting's usual vigilance, he should have noticed their following long ago, but it was obvious that Gu Yanting looked worried today and didn't notice the two little tails following him at all. So the two followed Gu Yanting to the VIP ward upstairs and saw that he was staring at the admission registration information column on the wall next to the ward for a long time without moving.

"It seems that Brother Gu really came to visit the patient, but who is the person inside? Why doesn't he go in?" Seeing Gu Yanting's hesitation, Yu Qi in the distance asked with some confusion. Gu Yanting's look at this moment was completely different from his usual decisive appearance. Now it seemed as if he was resisting and afraid of something.

"You ask me? Do you think I would know?" Du Yang asked back in surprise after hearing Yuqi's question.

"No, I was talking to myself." Yuqi rolled her eyes and said unhappily.

Du Yang, who was being criticized innocently, smiled good-naturedly and ignored Yuqi's words.

At this moment, Gu Yanting was staring at Yun Miao's name on the registration column. His feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he couldn't take a single step forward. As if he could just go in and check, he could comfort himself that maybe the person inside just happened to have the same name as Miao Miao! However, the remaining rationality was also telling him, "Don't deceive yourself anymore. It's already too late. The only thing you can do for Miao Miao is to find the criminal and bring him to justice. This is the only way you can make up for the damage Miao Miao has suffered."

Just as Gu Yanting's emotions were surging, a voice suddenly shouted from behind him: "Who are you, what are you doing here, and why are you standing in front of the ward?"

As the man spoke, he placed his hands on his waist and stared at Gu Yanting who was standing in front of the ward, observing him. If he saw anything wrong, he would draw his gun.

But Gu Yanting seemed to be immersed in his own world and ignored the words of the person behind him.

"I'm asking you, answer quickly, who are you and what are you doing here?" Seeing that Gu Yanting didn't answer, the police officer Shi Yu behind him put his hand on the side of his waist, ready to draw his gun at any time, and then slowly approached Gu Yanting who was standing there.

Seeing the two people with a wrong atmosphere from a distance, he hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, hello, we are from the A City Police Station, and this is our team leader, Officer Gu Yanting. This time we were invited to come here to investigate the Yun family murder case." The two people followed and explained while taking out their credentials and handing them to Shi Yu for verification.

Shi Yu took the certificate handed over by Du Yang with one hand, and after verifying that it was indeed authentic, he was relieved. He was also in a hurry just now, but the police officer who was in charge of the handover had not come yet. Thinking that Professor Pei was also inside, nothing should happen, so he left temporarily. Unexpectedly, when he came back, he saw someone standing at the door of the ward from a distance. He was not sure what the person was doing, so he was on guard with his gun.

Just as several people here were communicating with each other, the door of the ward was suddenly opened, and a gentle-looking man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked out, looking straight at Gu Yanting who was standing at the door.

The moment he heard the man open the door, Gu Yanting finally moved his gaze away from the information board. He looked coldly at Pei Yuze who came out of the ward. His cold eyes were filled with suspicion, scrutiny, and a hint of jealousy and displeasure that could not be ignored.

Looking at Gu Yanting at the door, and noticing the suspicious and scrutinizing look in his eyes, Pei Yuze looked at Gu Yanting in front of him coldly without any emotion. After thinking of his identity, a dark light flashed in his dark eyes, and then he was the first to break the silence.

"Officer Gu, I've heard of your name for a long time. Are you here to visit Miaomiao? Then I would like to thank you on behalf of Miaomiao. Please come in, Officer Gu!" After Pei Yuze said this, he stepped back into the ward and then called Gu Yanting in, acting like the host of the house. If someone who didn't know the situation saw him, they would definitely think that he had a close relationship with Miaomiao.

"Mr. Pei, you are too polite. I should be the one thanking you. I'm sorry to bother you for taking care of Miaomiao during this period. But it's not a good time to disturb Mr. Pei too much. I'll be there for Miaomiao, and you can go about your own business." Hearing the tone in Pei Yuze's words that indicated a special relationship with Miaomiao, Gu Yanting did not refute or agree. Instead, he thanked him for accompanying Yunmiao when he was not here before, but now that he was here, he would not bother him. He completely positioned Pei Yuze as a friend who asked him to help take care of Miaomiao.

Hearing Gu Yanting's words, Pei Yuze's gentle expression paused, and then he looked at Gu Yanting coldly without any emotion, and Gu Yanting also looked back without showing any weakness.

The two of them just stared at each other without showing any weakness, and neither of them spoke. The air around them seemed to freeze at this moment, and the atmosphere around them became extremely tense.
