Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife
Chapter 368 The undercurrent is surging
In the early morning, soft sunlight slowly penetrated the gaps in the blinds, casting patches of mottled light and shadow on Pei Luonan's bed.
Pei Luonan half leaned on the hospital bed, concentrating on reviewing the documents, which were the work tasks that had piled up during his injury.
At this moment, the phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated, and the familiar encrypted number appeared on the screen. Pei Luonan's eyes sharpened instantly, and he answered the call.
"Mr. Pei, there's new information." The person on the other end of the line spoke with a hint of nervousness. "Those two thugs who were arrested earlier were secretly given a drug that caused them to fake their death while they were in custody."
Pei Luonan's hand holding the pen tightened unconsciously: "Tell me in detail, what exactly happened?"
"We carefully retrieved and analyzed the hospital's surveillance footage and found that a person in nursing uniform took advantage of the chaos outside the ward to sneak into the ward.
The doctor and nurse on duty at the time were somehow sent away, and by the time they realized something was wrong and returned to the ward, the two thugs had already fallen into a deep coma.
The other party paused, "According to our speculation, their plan is to have the gangster fake his death, and then take the opportunity of transporting the body to escape from the hospital without anyone noticing."
Pei Luonan's thoughts quickly returned to the thrilling scene at the textile factory that day.
The two thugs' actions were clearly carefully planned, and there must have been a hidden force behind them manipulating and directing them. If he hadn't been alert and deployed personnel to strengthen security at the hospital, I'm afraid the other party's conspiracy would have succeeded this time.
"However, fortunately, you had previously instructed us to increase our vigilance, and we were able to see through their scheme in time." The voice on the phone was filled with relief. "Now those two thugs are under strict police guard in the hospital. But the problem is..."
"The police can't get any useful clues from them, right?" Pei Luonan said with unquestionable certainty, and said the second half of the sentence for the other party.
"Yes, they were as hard as stone. No matter what methods and means the police used, these two people remained silent and refused to say anything."
The other party's tone was full of helplessness, "The people in the police station can't find any effective breakthroughs right now."
Pei Luonan closed his eyes slightly and fell into a brief contemplation.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and said calmly and decisively, "Continue to closely monitor their every move. Don't miss a single detail. Also, do your utmost to uncover the true identity of the person disguised as the caregiver, and the specific way they obtained the fake death drug. These two clues are crucial."
After hanging up the phone, Pei Luonan's brows were tightly knitted together, and his face became more and more gloomy.
This matter was far more complicated than he had initially imagined.
Being able to obtain such a rare fake death drug and bribe the relevant personnel in the hospital to cooperate with the operation, the other party's influence has penetrated so widely and deeply that it far exceeded his expectations.
What made him even more confused and worried was what exactly were these two thugs desperately trying to hide? Who was the mastermind behind them? What was their ulterior motive?
Just as he was thinking about it, the door of the ward was gently pushed open, and Gu Fanxing walked in with a bowl of steaming porridge.
She was wearing a simple white top, her hair was casually tied behind her head, and her face was slightly tired, but when she saw Pei Luonan, she immediately showed a gentle smile.
However, when she saw Pei Luonan's gloomy face, her smile froze slightly: "What's wrong? Why are you so unhappy?"
Pei Luonan hesitated for a moment, not wanting to make her worry, and said: "It's okay, it's just some things at the company that are a bit tricky." He deliberately changed the subject, "Why are you here? Doesn't Jiuer need any care?"
"Du Fei is watching. He takes good care of Jiuer."
Gu Fanxing sat down beside the bed, his eyes falling on the pile of documents. He couldn't help but frown, "Didn't we agree to have a good rest? Why are you working again?"
"Some documents must be processed as soon as possible, otherwise it will delay a lot of things." Pei Luonan scooped a spoonful of porridge to his mouth, "I will be discharged from the hospital in two days, so I have to make some preparations in advance."
Gu Fanxing sighed helplessly: "No matter how important the matter is, you have to take care of your body first. Look at you, you have lost weight recently." Her tone was full of concern and heartache.
Pei Luonan held her hand and said gratefully, "I understand. You have worked hard during this period. It must be very tiring to take care of me and Jiuer." He looked at her slightly tired eyes and felt a surge of guilt in his heart.
"What are you talking about? This is what I should do." Gu Fanxing gave him a reproachful look.
That afternoon, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and the captain of the criminal police in charge of this case came in. His face was very solemn, and he went straight to Pei Luonan's bed as soon as he entered the room.
"Mr. Pei, we're in big trouble again." The criminal police captain's voice was low and serious, his brows furrowed. "Those two thugs... are in trouble again."
Pei Luonan's heart suddenly tightened, and he asked, "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
"This morning, the two thugs suddenly began to convulse all over their bodies. Their condition was extremely critical. After an emergency examination, the doctor discovered that they had been given a slow-acting poison. It was obvious that someone didn't want them to speak, so they did this to him."
Pei Luonan's eyes turned cold in an instant.
The other party's methods are so cruel and decisive that they are willing to kill in order to cover up the truth. It seems that they are determined to cut off all clues completely.
"What's their situation now?" Pei Luonan asked in a deep voice, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"The doctors are doing their best to save them, but the situation is not optimistic. Their vital signs are very weak." The criminal police captain shook his head helplessly. "We have implemented comprehensive surveillance of the ward, but the enemy is hiding in the dark and is difficult to guard against."
Pei Luonan pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Transfer them to a safer and more secret place as soon as possible to ensure their safety. In addition, thoroughly investigate all personnel in the hospital and do not miss any suspicious clues."
"We've already made arrangements," the criminal police captain said, "but this matter may not be that simple. The fact that they were able to act right under our noses suggests there may be a mole operating secretly within our ranks."
This sentence was like a thunderclap, exploding in Pei Luonan's heart. If there really was a traitor, then the difficulty of the entire investigation would increase exponentially, and the situation would become more complicated and dangerous.
He knew that a more intense and dangerous storm was brewing quietly in the darkness.
As the central figure in this storm, Gu Fanxing must use his wisdom and strength to find the real murderer hiding behind the scenes and protect her before the storm comes.
As night fell, Gu Fanxing leaned on the sofa and fell asleep unknowingly.
Pei Luonan looked at her peaceful sleeping face quietly and vowed that no matter what difficulties and obstacles were waiting for them ahead, he would not let her suffer the slightest harm.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated again, still the familiar encrypted number.
Pei Luonan glanced at the sleeping Gu Fanxing, tiptoed to the window and answered the phone.
"Mr. Pei, I have some very unfortunate news..." The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with suppressed shock and helplessness. "Those two thugs were ultimately unable to be rescued and have died."
The veins in Pei Luonan's hand, gripping the phone, instantly bulged. The night outside the window seemed to grow deeper and darker, and the rage and resentment in his heart also burned fiercely.
He knew that the battle with the mastermind behind the scenes had just begun. He would never give up easily and would definitely get to the bottom of it.
