Liu Bingxue glanced at Chu Lingtian as soon as she saw them charging in aggressively.
Chu Lingtian immediately stepped forward and said, "What business do you have?"
The tall female nurse asked, "Did a big, fierce-looking guy rush into your room just now?"
"No, no one entered here!"
Chu Lingtian said with a smile, "My wife needs to sleep. If you have nothing else, can you leave now?"
Liu Bingxue immediately glared at Chu Lingtian. Although they had a child, they were not yet married.
She wasn't Chu Lingtian's real wife!
A wife needed to be formally married into the family!
"Oh, how did I even think of that? This guy is obviously just playing around with me. Why should I take it seriously!"
Although Liu Bingxue had a place for Chu Lingtian in her heart, she subconsciously kept pushing him away.
"We checked the surveillance footage, and that ferocious criminal clearly..."
Chu Lingtian said impatiently, "You must have seen wrong. My wife needs to rest, please leave!"
Seeing that there was indeed no one else there, they turned and left.
After seeing them off, Chu Lingtian returned to Liu Bingxue's side.
"Why are you still sitting up? Lie down obediently. Have you forgotten the doctor's instructions? You need to lie down more now!"
Without further ado, Chu Lingtian pushed Liu Bingxue down onto the bed.
Liu Bingxue lay down and didn't move, nor did she speak to Chu Lingtian.
Chu Lingtian didn't try to force conversation. After turning off the lights, he also lay down to rest.
Before long, Liu Bingxue fell asleep.
Since becoming pregnant, she was indeed much sleepier than before.
Only then did Chu Lingtian recall the killer, the "Cannibal King," who had tried to assassinate him earlier.
"So it was this guy, no wonder he looked familiar!"
The Cannibal King had killed his way from the capital all the way to Dachang City, harming many people along the way and becoming a wanted criminal by the police.
Chu Lingtian pondered for a moment and knew that this guy was a killer sent by the Jiang family.
He had no enemies in the capital currently, only the Jiang family.
"I haven't even had a chance to go to the capital to find you yet, and you're already so eager to send people to their deaths!"
"When I'm done arranging things here in Dachang, I'll pay you a visit in the capital!"
...
Police station.
Xiao Lengyue had a sleepless night.
So did all the members of the police team.
After the Cannibal King arrived in Dachang City, he had eaten many people. His methods were brutal and cruel, with dismembered limbs and bodies found at crime scenes, making people nauseous.
This had caused widespread panic among the citizens of Dachang City.
Everyone was like a startled bird, afraid to leave their homes even during the day.
It could be said that the Cannibal King, through his own actions, had almost brought the entire Dachang City to a standstill.
The police's emergency hotline was on the verge of being overloaded.
The chief ordered all police officers not to leave their posts and to bring the killer to justice, restoring peace and tranquility to Dachang City for its citizens.
The entire city's police force had been working through the night, searching for the whereabouts of the Cannibal King.
"Where on earth is this guy hiding? We've searched for so long, almost turning the place upside down, and still no sign of him?"
Xiao Lengyue couldn't understand it. The entire city's police force had conducted a carpet search of all train stations, hotels, and restaurants in Dachang City, yet they couldn't find him.
Just then, Xiao Lengyue received a call.
A moment later, her expression immediately turned solemn.
"This is bad, that guy appeared at the hospital!"
What a coincidence!
It was truly a coincidence!
One of the two nurses from before happened to be Xiao Lengyue's elementary school classmate.
She and several security guards had searched for a long time but couldn't find the Cannibal King. They later returned to the monitoring room.
They re-examined the surveillance footage and confirmed that the Cannibal King had indeed entered Liu Bingxue's room and had not come out since.
They were certain that Chu Lingtian was hiding the Cannibal King.
Due to the numerous wanted posters of the Cannibal King on television, Xiao Lengyue's elementary school classmate calmed down and immediately realized that the Cannibal King hiding in Liu Bingxue's room
was that great villain who ate human flesh and was wanted by the police.
She then called Xiao Lengyue to report it and asked Xiao Lengyue to bring more people.
Ten minutes later.
Xiao Lengyue and over a dozen plainclothes police officers entered the hospital discreetly and quickly contacted her elementary school classmate.
"It's this room!"
The elementary school classmate led Xiao Lengyue and the police to the door of the ward.
"I'm going back to work. You need to be extra careful!"
She shuddered at the thought of the Cannibal King's appearance.
Inside the ward.
Chu Lingtian heard a series of footsteps outside the ward.
Even though Xiao Lengyue and the others had tried to walk quietly, he could hear them clearly.
Chu Lingtian's hearing far surpassed that of ordinary people; he could hear the slightest disturbance.
"Damn it, is this going to end or not? Are they so eager to die?"
With a whoosh!
Chu Lingtian sat up and walked quickly towards the door.
He wanted to deal with these guys in the hallway and absolutely not disturb the sleeping Liu Bingxue.
Now, Liu Bingxue was his top priority!
"Zhao Yang, pretend to open the door, and you two come in with me!" Xiao Lengyue said.
From beyond the door, Chu Lingtian recognized the voice as familiar.
Before the police could kick the door open, he directly opened it.
In an instant, all the police officers' guns were aimed at Chu Lingtian.
Seeing that it was Xiao Lengyue leading the team, he knew it was a misunderstanding.
Xiao Lengyue also immediately realized this and quickly told others to put their guns away.
"What are you waiting for? I told you to..."
Before Xiao Lengyue could finish speaking, Chu Lingtian covered her mouth.
"Keep your voice down, my wife is pregnant and cannot be disturbed from her rest!"
Chu Lingtian made a shushing gesture, pulled the door shut, then embraced Xiao Lengyue and headed into the corridor.
The scene made everyone present stare in disbelief, utterly astonished.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.
Xiao Lengyue, who was always known as "Little Pepper," was being casually slung over the shoulder and dragged away by a man.
Of course, that wasn't the main point.
The main point was that Xiao Lengyue offered no resistance, let alone beat him up.
In fact, Xiao Lengyue wanted to fight back, but in Chu Lingtian's embrace, she could barely even struggle, let alone fight.
She was firmly held by Chu Lingtian.
"Hey, why are you bringing so many police officers here in the middle of the night?"
Xiao Lengyue said truthfully, "Hasn't a man-eating monster appeared in Dachang City? He appeared at this hospital and entered your ward."
"We received a report from a hospital nurse, so we came to check, and we didn't expect to run into you!"
Xiao Lengyue glanced at Chu Lingtian and pursed her lips slightly.
"Did you say the person in the ward is your wife?"
"And she's pregnant?"
"When did you get married? And when did she get pregnant?"
Chu Lingtian looked at her with a confused expression. Xiao Lengyue's questions were strange.
"Shouldn't you be asking me where that man-eating monster went?"
