Yu He walked over. On the computer screen, a short, crucial segment of security footage from the second floor of Buyetian was playing: Qiao Qiao nervously emerging from the stairwell.
After the video finished, Qin Beiting exited and returned to his chat with Chen Dong, then opened other short videos sent by Chen Dong.
All of them were surveillance videos from Buyetian: Qiao Qiao arm-in-arm with Qi Suilin entering Buyetian, Qiao Wei delivering wine with a waiter on the second floor, then Qiao Qiao coming out and pulling him to the stairwell.
The next time she appeared was in the earlier surveillance footage.
There was no surveillance in the stairwell, so what happened between the two of them there was unknown, but Qiao Wei had a moderate concussion, and Qiao Qiao was highly suspected.
Yu He watched the surveillance video of Qiao Qiao and Qi Suilin entering Buyetian together again. Qiao Qiao was dressed in designer brands, indicating she had been living well during her absence from the clinic.
Yu He wouldn't stop or try to keep Qiao Qiao if she wanted to leave, but if she truly harmed someone she cared about, then she wouldn't let her off.
Shen Yao also came over to watch the surveillance footage. Seeing that no footage of him with other women was shown, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He hadn't expected that in the short time he was waiting, Qin Beiting had almost figured out the truth of the matter, while he could only stand there and wait.
No, he couldn't just let Qin Beiting take all the credit. He had to do something to prove his own capabilities.
"What should we do? Should we arrest Qiao Qiao?" he asked, rolling up his sleeves, eager to act.
Yu He yawned lazily. Qin Beiting glanced at the time; it was past midnight. He closed the laptop. "It's getting late. Let's go back and rest. We'll discuss it tomorrow."
Shen Yao looked at his watch, feeling disappointed. "It's only half past twelve. The nightlife has just begun. Why go back so early?"
Qin Beiting gave him a sidelong glance. "Only a single dog needs to go out and experience nightlife."
Shen Yao scoffed. "Tch, as if you're not a single dog yourself..."
Before he could finish, he saw Qin Beiting's arm around Yu He's waist, and Yu He didn't react at all!
If it were him, his hand would have been turned into a hedgehog the moment it touched her waist!
He suddenly remembered something and yelled at Yu He, "Didn't you say you two broke up?"
Qin Beiting frowned. How many people had this girl told about their breakup?!
He needed to put Yu He's name on the household registration book as soon as possible to prevent so many dogs from eyeing her covetously.
"Keep your voice down. The patients are resting," Yu He reminded him, then simply explained, "We got back together. If you're that free, stay and keep watch."
She had seen earlier that Shen Yao and Qiao Wei had a good relationship, and they often played ball together; it would be better to have Shen Yao look after him than a stranger.
Shen Yao, however, was displeased. "Damn it! What do you take me for? You're asking me to be your security guard and watch over your family's patient!"
"He's not needed," Qin Beiting said, making a phone call. "Chen Dong, send someone over..."
Seeing this, Shen Yao felt that since Qin Beiting had already handled everything, he would appear even more useless.
He immediately interrupted Qin Beiting. "You don't need your people. I'll stay!"
Then, he grumbled and entered the ward.
Yu He: "..."
-
On the way back, Yu He was so sleepy that she leaned against the passenger seat and closed her eyes to sleep.
As she drifted into a light sleep, she felt a strong pair of hands lift her up. A man's gentle, magnetic voice reached her ears, "Baby, we're here."
Yu He groggily wrapped her arms around Qin Beiting's neck and continued to sleep on his shoulder.
After a while, she felt Qin Beiting set her down, then heard the sound of water. Qin Beiting returned and started to undress her.
Yu He felt a bit annoyed. "No..."
"Be good, take a bath before sleeping," Qin Beiting coaxed.
"Not washing. I'll wash in the morning," Yu He pushed him away, but she was so sleepy that she had no strength, feeling soft and limp.
"No, you just went to the hospital. There are many bacteria. You need to be clean before sleeping."
Tsk, such a germaphobe.
Yu He couldn't resist him, so she stopped struggling and let him wash her.
But as they were washing, the atmosphere changed...
Yu He was tossed around until three in the morning before she could finally fall into a peaceful sleep. She hadn't slept long when her seven o'clock alarm went off.
She was woken up, feeling very annoyed, but remembering that Qiao Wei was still in the hospital, she had to drag herself up. She noticed Qin Beiting had already gone out for a run.
Tsk, how did this man have so much energy!
Qin Beiting returned from his run and brought breakfast with him. He found Yu He cooking in the kitchen and went up to ask, "Why didn't you sleep in a little longer? What are you cooking? I bought you shrimp dumplings and crab roe buns."
"Nutritious congee. I'll take it to Brother Wei later," Yu He said, yawning.
She didn't want her grandmother to worry, so she hadn't asked the chef from the neighborhood to make it.
Qin Beiting put down the food, washed his hands, and went over. "On our scheduled date, you got up early to make nutritional congee for another man?"
They had originally planned to go on a date today, but because of Qiao Wei, it had to be postponed.
Yu He: "Don't be silly. Brother Wei is a patient now."
"When I was sick before, you didn't make congee for me either," Qin Beiting added, his voice full of jealousy.
"..."
Why did this man get jealous of everyone?
Yu He: "When it's ready, you drink some first. I'll take the rest to Brother Wei, okay?"
Fortunately, she had cooked extra.
"That's more like it," Qin Beiting kissed her. "I'll watch it for you. You go back to sleep for a bit. I'll call you when it's ready."
Yu He didn't refuse. She returned to the room and dozed off for another half hour before getting up, eating breakfast, and going to the hospital.
In the ward.
Qiao Wei had already woken up and was lying on the hospital bed, trying to recall last night's events.
His room was a VIP single room, and Shen Yao was asleep on the sofa. However, it was noisy outside in the corridor, making it hard to sleep.
Just then, the door opened. Shen Yao thought it was a nurse doing rounds and impatiently said, "Can you guys keep it down..."
"Brother Wei, are you feeling any better? I made some nutritional congee for you. Sit up and have some," Yu He said, carrying the thermos flask as she entered.
Qiao Wei sat up and smiled shyly. "Yu He, you're here. Thank you."
Shen Yao immediately sat up from the sofa upon hearing Yu He's voice. Seeing her opening the thermos flask, he quickly went over. "Is this the congee you made? I want some too!"
Qiao Wei saw the congee Yu He brought for him about to be snatched away and quickly said, "No, are you going to fight with a patient for food?"
Shen Yao: "I stayed up with you all night. I've suffered a lot mentally!"
Qiao Wei: "You were playing games all night! You kept me awake!"
"…………"
Yu He got a headache from their bickering, so she decisively interrupted them. "Stop arguing. You two can share."
After all, she had made quite a lot.
"Who wants to eat with him!" Shen Yao and Qiao Wei said in unison.
But the next second, each holding a bowl of congee, they took a sip and found it truly... salty.
"Why is it so salty?!" Shen Yao immediately spat it out. "It tastes like gnawing on salt. It's a culinary disaster!"
Qiao Wei also frowned from the saltiness. He had tasted Yu He's cooking before, and this was clearly not her usual standard.
"Salty?" Yu He asked, puzzled.
Impossible. Qin Beiting had a bowl before she left this morning and didn't say it was salty.
"It's really salty," Qiao Wei said, putting down the congee. He picked up a cup of water from the bedside table and gulped down a large cup.
Shen Yao said it was salty, and Yu He didn't believe him, but when even Qiao Wei said it was salty, Yu He had no choice but to believe.
She suddenly remembered that Qin Beiting had asked her to go back to sleep this morning, saying he would watch the pot for her...
No wonder Qin Beiting said he had something to do when they arrived at the hospital and didn't come up.
Why was he so childish!
