"How is it? Hasn't she come out yet?"
Sitting on a chair by the clinic door, Li Zihang had been waiting for nearly an hour. It was already midnight, and Wan Yunting still hadn't emerged. His left hand, which had been bandaged, betrayed his worry. He was afraid that if his senior sister, Xu Lingwei, suffered any harm, he wouldn't be able to explain it to their master.
"Not yet."
Fang Yanxi, also sitting and waiting, shook her head slightly at Wu Lei, who had gone to buy supper. He handed the bought food to Li Zihang and Fang Yanxi, and then to the other two police officers, "Eat your supper first, everyone must be hungry."
"Thank you."
Fang Yanxi took the supper and thanked him, then placed it by her chair. How could she possibly eat at a time like this?
Just then, the clinic door opened. Wan Yunting emerged with a pale face and a somewhat weak demeanor. Fang Yanxi and Li Zihang immediately stood up and asked, "How is it? Is my senior sister saved?"
Wan Yunting managed a weak smile and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I've expelled the corpse poison from her body. However, the wound still needs treatment, and she'll need to be hospitalized for a few days for observation."
"Good, good, good, as long as my senior sister is fine."
Hearing that his senior sister was saved, Li Zihang was overjoyed. He thanked Wan Yunting gratefully, "Brother, thank you so much. If you ever need any help, just tell me. I, Li Zihang, will go through fire and water for you, giving my all."
Wan Yunting waved his hand with a smile. Seeing Fang Yanxi looking at him with concern, he smiled gently, "I'm fine. I'll be okay after a night's sleep."
"Mmm."
Seeing that he was alright, Fang Yanxi was relieved.
"Brother Wan, Captain Zhou called just now and said that if you're not done here, you can go home and rest. You can come to the police station tomorrow morning to make statements," Wu Lei said.
"Alright, we'll come over tomorrow then."
Wan Yunting nodded. He had indeed expended a lot of his internal energy just now to force out the corpse poison from Xu Lingwei's body, and he was feeling very sleepy.
"Xiao Fang, notify our colleagues at the neighboring hospital to transfer the patient to the inpatient department."
Wan Yunting called for the on-duty nurse, Xiao Fang. She immediately went to call for help, and then Xu Lingwei, who had fallen asleep, was transferred to the neighboring hospital. Doctors then attended to the wounds on her arms, and she was admitted for observation...
After seeing Wu Lei and the others off, Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi drove home...
They hadn't told their families about what happened tonight, nor did they want to, to avoid worrying them.
"Yunting, are you alright?"
Fang Yanxi, who was driving, turned her head to look at Wan Yunting in the passenger seat. He also turned his face and smiled, "I'm fine, just a bit sleepy."
Fang Yanxi nodded and asked, "Why did Guan Hongyu do that? Why did he capture me?"
Speaking of this matter, Wan Yunting sighed, took out a cigarette, and lit one. Fang Yanxi didn't say anything, knowing he was feeling uncomfortable.
"Guan Hongyu captured you because he wanted to use you to save his woman!"
Wan Yunting rolled down the car window, exhaled a puff of smoke, and then sighed.
These words made Fang Yanxi's eyes fill with confusion. She looked at him, completely uncomprehending. Wan Yunting turned to look at Fang Yanxi and then told her everything about Luo Sang Zhuoma and Guan Hongyu.
This shocked Fang Yanxi immensely. She never expected that Guan Hongyu had come back to Huadu City to kill her and save his beloved woman just to save that Luo Sang Zhuoma!
"Alas, he's been brainwashed by a cult; he's mentally ill."
Wan Yunting glanced at the rearview mirror. Seeing that there were no cars behind them, he threw out the cigarette butt, rolled up the window, and turned to look at Fang Yanxi. "Fortunately, I rushed over tonight. If I had been even a step later, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Fang Yanxi nodded. The thought of Guan Hongyu wanting to kill her to save his beloved woman sent shivers down her spine. She said with lingering fear, "We should install location tracking systems on each other's phones. If we can't reach each other in the future, we'll know where you are."
Wan Yunting's expression faltered, and he immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Yanxi. If I had answered your call this afternoon, this wouldn't have happened."
Fang Yanxi, driving, glanced at him. Being as busy with work as she was, she couldn't help but understand him. "Alright, you. Don't do this again in the future."
"Mmm, I won't anymore."
Wan Yunting smiled, then unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned forward, kissing Fang Yanxi's right cheek. This caused the woman to roll her eyes at him and wipe her cheek, "What are you doing? I'm driving."
Wan Yunting smiled, reached out, and gently stroked Fang Yanxi's hair. He didn't say anything.
Fang Yanxi turned to look at him, understanding what he was thinking. She couldn't help but reach out and hold Wan Yunting's large hand. They looked at each other and smiled faintly, without speaking, but they could feel each other's feelings...
The next morning, Wan Yunting woke up at eight o'clock. He looked at Fang Yanxi sleeping beside him and gently kissed her forehead. The woman stirred lazily and continued to sleep.
Wan Yunting smiled, got out of bed, washed up, changed into sportswear, and then went to the lawn in the backyard to practice Xing Yi Quan...
Last night, expelling the corpse poison from Xu Lingwei with his internal energy had consumed a lot of his internal energy. However, because the Shimen acupoint in Wan Yunting's body was sealed with a malevolent energy, he couldn't meditate to recover his internal energy.
Moreover, because he had used it all up last night, the malevolent energy sealed in the Shimen acupoint seemed to have loosened slightly, and at the same time, that malevolent energy was growing stronger day by day, causing Wan Yunting to worry.
It seemed he had to go find Grandpa Chang again to see if he had any way to suppress the malevolent energy within him...
Due to last night's events, Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi still had to go to the police station to give statements. So after they tidied up, they left home, had breakfast along the way, and then arrived at the police station. Zhou Dong and Wu Lei, and the others had already come to work.
The homicide cases of the past few days had finally been solved, and the pressure on everyone at the police station had finally been released. Smiles appeared on everyone's faces. Upon seeing Wan Yunting, they all greeted him, "Brother Wan, you're here..."
"Mmm, is Captain Zhou here?"
Wan Yunting brought Fang Yanxi in. A police officer smiled and said, "Captain Zhou should be in the conference room."
"Okay, you guys carry on..."
Wan Yunting waved his hand and took Fang Yanxi directly to the conference room of the criminal investigation department. As expected, they saw Zhou Dong and Niu Qiuling, Wu Lei, Huang Yongxin, and a group of other police officers in the conference room, eating breakfast and discussing the case.
The deputy captain of the Tibetan criminal investigation team, Jiaxi, and his assistant, Duoji, were also present.
"Brother Wan, you're here..."
Wu Lei greeted Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi as they entered. Zhou Dong smiled, "Have you guys had breakfast? There are a few portions left here, take some."
"No need, we've already eaten," Wan Yunting waved his hand and smiled.
Niu Qiuling, sitting on the side, raised her head and glanced at them dismissively, taking the two portions of steamed dumplings. "If you don't want them, then forget it. I didn't buy them for you to eat..."
This scene made Wu Lei and Huang Yongxin exchange glances. They could see that Niu Qiuling was clearly jealous.
Wan Yunting ignored her and let Fang Yanxi sit down, then asked, "How is Guan Hongyu? Did he confess to anything?"
"No."
Zhou Dong shook his head and said, "We brought him back last night and interrogated him overnight. As a result, he was crying and laughing, and didn't say a word. It's obvious that his mind is not right."
