The sun shone brightly on Wang Xinrui's face, casting a seductive glow on her presently flushed cheeks.

Ye Qiu was actually somewhat tempted after hearing Wang Xinrui's initiative to kiss him.

The things Wang Xinrui had done for him earlier did indeed move him, making him realize that he was certainly important in Wang Xinrui's heart.

However, Ye Qiu quickly regained his senses and didn't kiss Wang Xinrui. Instead, he pinched her cheek and laughed, "Alright, let's leave this place."

Disappointment flashed in Wang Xinrui's eyes. She wriggled out of Ye Qiu's embrace and said, "You go first, I'll stay here for a while."

"You aren't afraid of him?"

Ye Qiu asked.

Wang Xinrui shook her head, looked at Wang Xuan, whose bones might be broken at the moment, and said, "He doesn't have that ability right now."

Ye Qiu nodded and sighed, then turned to leave.

Watching Ye Qiu's departing figure, Wang Xinrui's beautiful eyes could no longer hold back the tears.

"Bastard!"

Who she cursed was unclear, but Wang Xinrui fiercely wiped her tears and murmured, "From now on, no more crying."

She then glanced at Wang Xuan, who was unconscious at the moment, and sighed.

To speak of Wang Xuan, he really was good to her, from childhood until now. Regardless of his motives, to Wang Xinrui, her brother was genuinely good to her.

"Alas!"

Knowing that Wang Xuan's feelings for her were genuine, and that they were not blood-related siblings, it would have been possible for them to be together. However, Wang Xinrui's heart had long contained someone else, so after taking a deep look at Wang Xuan, she turned to leave in solitude.

After Wang Xinrui left, Ye Qiu emerged from the forest, looking at Wang Xinrui's lonely back with helplessness.

He naturally understood Wang Xinrui's feelings for him, but he had already made one mistake with Xu Lei and couldn't afford a second mistake with Wang Xinrui.

"I hope you can find your happiness!"

Ye Qiu got into his car and headed towards the hospital.

Hospital.

Having arrived at the hospital, Ye Qiu hurried to the entrance of the emergency room, nodded to Ye Xuan who was also waiting there, and then asked Kenneth, "How is Teacher Xu?"

Kenneth replied, "She hasn't come out yet, I don't know."

Ye Qiu nodded, then turned to Ye Xuan and said, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

Ye Xuan answered, then curiously asked, "Is that your girlfriend inside?"

"No, she's my teacher!" Ye Qiu replied.

"Your teacher?"

Ye Xuan was even more puzzled. Earlier, she saw Ye Qiu's anxious expression, which looked more like someone concerned about a lover than about a teacher.

"Yes," Ye Qiu nodded.

Seeing Ye Qiu nod in affirmation, Ye Xuan didn't intend to ask further. As she recalled that Xu Lei had a gunshot wound, she asked Ye Qiu, "Why was your teacher shot?"

"He's here."

Ye Qiu knew Ye Xuan, as a police officer, would surely investigate Xu Lei's shooting. However, since Wang Xuan was the one responsible, he had nothing to hide and told her the truth.

He then added, "Wang Xuan's father is the mayor of H City. I hope your police department won't engage in corruption during the investigation."

"What do you mean!" Ye Xuan's eyebrows knitted.

Ye Qiu shrugged, indicating that such things were common in Huaxia.

Fuming, Ye Xuan said, "Don't worry, whether he is a mayor or not, if he's committed a crime and lands in my hands, I'll make sure he pays the price."

Saying that, Ye Xuan took out her phone and dialed a number, "Hello, is this brother? It's Xiaoxuan. Oh, it's like this, I..."

Ye Qiu looked at Ye Xuan with some surprise. Although Ye Xuan is the captain of the criminal investigations team in H City, her position is not particularly high compared to a mayor.

But seeing Ye Xuan's current demeanor, she was completely unafraid, which made Ye Qiu slightly suspicious of Ye Xuan's background, thinking that her connections must be extraordinary.

"Alright."

While Ye Qiu was examining Ye Xuan, curious about her identity, Ye Xuan hung up the phone and spoke, but seeing the curious look in Ye Qiu's eyes made her a little puzzled. She glanced him over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Ye Qiu shook his head.

Ye Xuan asked, "Do you not trust that I will handle this matter properly?"

Ye Qiu shook his head, "I trust you!"

"Oh?"

Ye Xuan was evidently surprised and was about to ask Ye Qiu but then saw the emergency room doors open. Several doctors in white coats came out.

Ye Qiu rushed forward, with Kenneth following behind.

"Doctor, how is she?"

Ye Qiu asked.

The doctor said, "Are you the patient's family?"

Ye Qiu nodded, "Yes, I am."

The doctor sighed, patted Ye Qiu's shoulder, and said, "You must be strong!"

Ye Qiu's heart sank, and he swallowed hard, asking, "Doctor, what's wrong?"

The doctor sighed again and said, "The situation is very bad!"

"What's going on, Doctor, please tell me!" Ye Qiu urged.

The doctor asked, "She's your girlfriend, right?"

In his anxiety, Ye Qiu didn't think much and nodded, "Yes."

"Hmm?"

Ye Xuan was startled, surprised by Ye Qiu's response.

The doctor said, "Young man, your girlfriend's condition is dire. The bullet passed the edge of her heart. Though the heart itself wasn't damaged and there's no immediate danger to her life, she might end up as a vegetative state."

"What?"

Ye Qiu's legs weakened, almost collapsing, but was supported by Ye Xuan from behind.

Ye Qiu gratefully nodded to Ye Xuan and then urgently asked the doctor, "Doctor, you're not joking, right? How could Teacher Xu become a vegetable?"

The doctor gave Ye Qiu a curious glance but still said, "Don't be too upset, young man."

"No, it's impossible!" Ye Qiu shouted.

He grabbed the doctor's collar and shouted, "You're lying to me! How could Teacher Xu become a vegetable?"

"Ye Qiu, calm down!"

"Let go, Ye Qiu!"

Kenneth and Ye Xuan tried to restrain Ye Qiu, pulling him away, leaving him slumped against the wall, holding his head in painful tears.

His feelings for Xu Lei were complex; he saw her as a teacher but also had intimate relations with her, leaving his heart with inexplicable emotions.

After all, Xu Lei was his first woman.

And it was because she saved him that she ended up a vegetable.

At this moment, Ye Qiu was on the verge of breaking.

Seeing Ye Qiu in such pain, Ye Xuan's eyes flickered. She sighed, her eyes moistening slightly, and asked the unangered doctor, "Doctor, is there really no way?"

The doctor replied, "It's not that there's no way, but you'll need to go to Shangjing to explore further!"

"To Shangjing?"

Ye Xuan's eyes brightened.

The doctor said, "That's right, with Shangjing's advanced medical standards, there's a chance to treat the patient."

"Thank you, Doctor," Ye Xuan said.

The doctor glanced at Ye Qiu, sighed, and left.

After the doctor left, Ye Xuan approached Ye Qiu and said, "Get up, let's go to Shangjing together, see if there's a way to save your girlfriend!"
