"You're not angry, are you?"

After leaving the hospital following her prenatal checkup, Qin Song looked at Pei Xingzhi's expression with some trepidation and asked...

"Angry? Why would I be angry?" Pei Xingzhi asked with a smile.

Qin Song: "I'm angry with Lu Yibai. He deliberately had his assistant stand there with his business card, just waiting for you to come and humiliate you. Every word that assistant said to you was at Lu Yibai's behest; this is blatant provocation by Lu Yibai!"

"He knew you were bankrupt and had no connections, so he emphasized in his words that this kind of doctor was someone ordinary people couldn't see."

"I know," Pei Xingzhi said, still smiling.

Qin Song released his hand, puzzled and a little angry: "You know that, how can you still laugh? You don't need to go to this lengths to keep him calm, do you?"

Pei Xingzhi adjusted his glasses, his gaze behind the lenses gentler than water: "I smiled not because I wanted to appease him, but because of you."

"Because of me?" Qin Song frowned slightly. "Am I that funny?"

"No." Pei Xingzhi was already laughing, and her words made his smile deepen. "When I said 'because of you,' I meant you verbally abused Lu Yibai. Lu Yibai thought he was helping you, but you ended up giving him a thorough dressing-down. Isn't that funny?"

"..." Qin Song blinked but didn't say anything.

Pei Xingzhi continued to explain, "I said I wasn't angry because of this. Lu Yibai provoked and humiliated me, so of course I felt bad. But luckily, I have you by my side."

"No matter what tricks Lu Yibai used against me, you fought back seriously and resolutely for me. With you protecting me, why should I be angry? I didn't lose."

"...Is that so..." This made Qin Song a little embarrassed. She pursed her lips and lowered her head, her cheeks quickly flushing red.

Pei Xingzhi took her hand again and intertwined their fingers: "Let's go, I'll take you to buy roasted chestnuts."

Qin Song nodded: "Mm!"

There were roasted chestnuts for sale at the hospital entrance, so Pei Xingzhi bought a big bag and peeled some for Qin Song as he led her toward the parking lot.

The chestnuts were sweet and soft, and Qin Song was in a great mood as she ate them. Her eyebrows curved slightly, and her smile was so bright it was almost dazzling.

"Wait here for me, I'll go get the car." The parking spot was a bit far, and Pei Xingzhi was worried that Qin Song would get tired, so he had her stand there and wait for him while holding the bag of chestnuts.

Qin Song obediently agreed: "Okay."

Pei Xingzhi was tall and had long legs; in the time it took Qin Song to peel one chestnut, he had already walked several steps away. Qin Song put the peeled chestnut into his mouth and was about to peel another when he suddenly heard the roar of a car engine not far behind him.

As the roaring sound drew closer, Qin Song suddenly looked up in the direction from which the sound came and saw a black car accelerating toward Pei Xingzhi.

"Pei Xingzhi!"

His body reacted before his brain could process it. Qin Song dropped the chestnuts he was holding and ran towards Pei Xingzhi. Just before the car hit him, he grabbed Pei Xingzhi and pulled him back with all his might.

"Om-"

The car brushed past Pei Xingzhi and fled the parking lot without stopping.

Qin Song used too much force and pulled Pei Xingzhi down with him.

Pei Xingzhi reacted quickly, shielding Qin Song the moment she fell, preventing her from crashing to the ground.

"Thump!" Pei Xingzhi's back hit the ground with a dull thud, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it. Instead, he immediately worried about Qin Song in his arms.

"Qin Song, where did you fall? Does it hurt? Are you injured?"

Qin Song clutched her stomach tightly with both hands, sitting on the ground stunned for several seconds before answering, "I'm... I'm not hurt, and the baby's fine. How are you? Were you hit?"

Pei Xingzhi shook his head, grabbed Qin Song and examined her from head to toe. Only after confirming that she only had dust on her body and no wounds did his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, ease a little.

"Come on, stand up first." He helped Qin Song up from the ground, brushed the dust off Qin Song's clothes with trembling hands, and couldn't help but ask again, "Are you sure you're not hurt? I'll take you back to the hospital for another check-up."

The incident happened so suddenly that Qin Song was still completely numb. She had fallen quite hard, and wasn't even sure if she was injured. For the safety of her unborn child, she didn't dare to be overconfident, so she agreed to Pei Xingzhi's suggestion to go back to the hospital for another check-up.

Fortunately, the examination revealed no problems, otherwise she would have had nowhere to cry.

"Call the police." Pei Xingzhi dialed the police number with a dark face after leaving the hospital.

Qin Song didn't stop him. If she hadn't run fast, Pei Xingzhi would probably be dead by now. This was truly outrageous, and she wanted to find the beast who drove the car.

The police arrived at the scene in less than ten minutes after the emergency call was made.

They checked the parking lot's surveillance footage and discovered that the black car that hit the person didn't even have license plates.

The driver was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, so his face was completely obscured from the camera footage.

"The perpetrator clearly came prepared, and finding him will be extremely difficult. You should go back first, and we will notify you as soon as we have any news."

After taking the statement, the police officer handling the case said tactfully.

Qin Song knew what he meant, but she was unwilling to let it go so easily, so she pressed him for an answer: "Approximately when can we expect a result?"

The police officer shook his head: "We can't be sure. The perpetrator left too little information, so investigating him will be very difficult. But we will do our best, so you can go back and wait for news."

Qin Song: "We're so worried. This perpetrator clearly intends to kill my husband. We can't have peace of mind until he finds me. Officers, could you please hurry up a bit?"

"Tsk," the policeman said impatiently, "This isn't something we can speed up. Finding someone is a time-consuming process. You've already called the police, so what are you afraid of? Although the driver looked like he was going to hit your husband, he wasn't injured, was he? There wasn't any real harm done, so what's the rush?"

"Go back and wait for news, don't worry about it."

"How long do we have to wait for this news?" Pei Xingzhi asked abruptly, his face grim. "A week, two weeks, a month, or half a year? You have to give me a rough timeframe, don't you?"

"What do you mean by that?" The policeman was a little annoyed by his question. "We're police officers, not gods. How could we possibly know exactly how long you have to wait?"

"Don't know?" Pei Xingzhi let out a cold laugh. "Fine, then I'll ask you another question."

"What methods do you plan to use to investigate him? Will you check the surveillance footage along the way to see where he drove, or will you carefully investigate those who have had a grudge against me?"

"You..." The police officer was taken aback by the question, then slammed the document in his hand onto the table. "How to investigate, what methods to use... these are matters within our jurisdiction as investigating officers. We have no right to report to you!"

“Hmph,” Pei Xingzhi curled his lips in a mocking smile, “I think you’re not just unqualified to report, you simply don’t want to do your best to investigate.”
