Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 458 - 329, Just don’t want to escape, that’s all (2 more 1)
The hospital at night was a picture of tranquility.
Gao Cheng, who was guarding outside Lu Zhao’s ward, also started to doze off. His head dipped low, he suddenly woke up and reached into his pocket for a cigarette, but remembering it was a hospital, he restrained himself from smoking. So he continued to sink back into silence, and again couldn’t resist dozing off... After repeating this a few times, he finally couldn’t help but get up and walk to the end of the corridor to open the window.
Just as Gao Cheng got up to leave, a female nurse pushed a cart to the door of the ward, took a bottle of IV fluid, checked the room number, and then pushed the door to enter.
After the nurse went in, she first glanced at the bed, where Lu Zhao was sleeping with his back turned, revealing his hair. The nurse quickly surveyed her surroundings again, swiftly hung the IV bottle on the infusion stand, then extended her hand into the quilt to grasp Lu Zhao’s wrist...
Upon grasping it, the nurse was taken aback. What she touched was not a wrist of flesh, but layers of quilt!
Lu Zhao turned around, opened his eyes, and stared at the nurse with a look of terror yet coldness.
The door opened as Gao Cheng, who had been yawning, aimed his gun at the nurse, his voice soft, as if afraid to wake the slumbering hospital.
"Shh... you behave and don’t resist, and I won’t fire."
The woman suddenly turned her head, pulled a large syringe from her pocket, reached out and grabbed Lu Zhao, raising the syringe to stab at his neck!
Lu Zhao was wearing a neck brace over the mirror, but his limbs were still agile. How could he submit easily? The moment the woman grabbed him, he kicked fiercely at her abdomen!
Yet the woman didn’t care for herself, only focusing fully on stabbing Lu Zhao. Faced with life and death, Lu Zhao was trembling with terror, hurriedly calling to Gao Cheng for help, "Sir, shoot!"
Gao Cheng’s finger hooked on the trigger, a hand gently rested on his shoulder. Gao Cheng quickly glanced to the side as Tang Yanqing ghost-like slipped in silently.
Wuxia novels say that experts can see and hear in all directions, but in real life, even for a master, few can truly achieve this. So even though the nurse was skilled, she poured all her attention onto Lu Zhao, showing utter determination, thus emptying her focus on other directions.
Tang Yanqing, as if a specter, moved toward her blind spot, striking unexpectedly, reaching out to grasp her throat!
The woman’s breath was suddenly constricted, her body stiffened.
Tang Yanqing leaned in with a smile towards her ear, "I’ve always been curious how it felt when that person killed back in the day. Now you’ve come to tell me, how does it feel?"
Lu Zhao finally caught his breath, staring intently at the nurse, smiling mournfully, "As expected, as expected, the master still sent someone to take my life. To think, in the master’s eyes, my years of following and loyalty mean nothing."
The nurse’s constrained throat, but her eyes flashed coldly. Gao Cheng watched her movements closely, warning out loud, "Mr. Tang, watch out for her suicide!"
Tang Yanqing nodded with a smile, "I’m gripping her throat, pinching her jaw, swallowing will be difficult."
Hearing this, the nurse struggled fiercely again until Tang Yanqing sneered close to her ear: "... I just want to know, is the medicine in your mouth also spicy?" The nurse, as if struck by lightning, suddenly turned to stare at Tang Yanqing.
.
Morning arrived, Shi Nian calmly woke up.
The sunshine was lovely, the spring outside bright and clear, the willows gradually turning green, the sky blue.
Huangfu Huazhang hurriedly reached out and held Shi Nian’s hand, "You’re awake? Anywhere uncomfortable?"
Shi Nian shook her head with a smile, "No, I’m fine."
Huangfu Huazhang hastily turned around to instruct Xia Zuo to call the doctor.
Shi Nian shook her head, "I’d like to see Rosa."
Huangfu Huazhang frowned slightly. Last night, he was too focused on bringing Shi Nian to the hospital and didn’t pay attention to Rosa at all. Xia Zuo stepped forward to report in a low voice: "... Rosa was also taken away by the police on duty at the time, should have been sent to the police station."
Huangfu Huazhang reassured Shi Nian, "It’s not too late to go see her once you’re better."
Shi Nian shook her head, "I’m already well."
"I’ll accompany you." Huangfu Huazhang also stood up and tidied his attire.
But Shi Nian held his wrist, "Sir, you accompanied me all night and got hurt too, go rest first."
Huangfu Huazhang squinted his eyes, "You don’t want me to accompany you?"
Shi Nian raised her head, meeting his eyes, "I think Rosa may not want to see you either. Doesn’t the master agree?"
At this moment, Huangfu Huazhang found himself speechless.
Shi Nian went into the restroom to freshen up, Huangfu Huazhang’s face was filled with gloom. Xia Zuo stepped forward to remind him: "... Shi Nian was injured, but all night long Tang Yanqing never showed up here. Sir, you must stay alert."
Huangfu Huazhang’s heart was filled with a sense of loss.
Subjectively speaking, Tang Yanqing didn’t appear last night, giving him the chance to spend the whole evening with Shi Nian uninterrupted, which is what he wanted; but Xia Zuo’s reminder made sense, forcing him to ponder what Tang Yanqing was up to last night.
He glanced back at Xia Zuo: "Did you send someone to Lu Zhao’s place?"
Xia Zuo nodded: "We absolutely can’t let the police have the chance to get Lu Zhao’s testimony."
Huangfu Huazhang’s complexion changed slightly: "It’s daylight."
Xia Zuo understood. The master was saying that dawn had broken, and the person sent still hadn’t returned; plus, throughout last night, Tang Yanqing didn’t appear at Shi Nian’s hospital... Comparing the two, the result was evident.
Xia Zuo hurried forward and bowed ninety degrees: "I understand my mistake. However... the situation last night truly exceeded my expectations; I never guessed the master would act personally!"
And he used the method he excels at!
It’s a "signature move," which would lead the master back to a series of past cases, a bottomless abyss.
It’s unimaginable that the master, who always calculates perfectly and leaves no trace for the police, would make such a reckless mistake last night.
The bathroom door clicked open, and Shi Nian came out with water droplets on her face, glancing at the two: "Did I interrupt your conversation?"
"No." Huangfu Huazhang immediately softened, gazing at Ning Jing: "Right now, nothing is as important as your health. Be good, no matter how eager you are to see Rosa, make sure to go with the doctor for a scan first to confirm there are no aftereffects. Be good."
Shi Nian’s face turned pale: "Can’t I skip it?"
Huangfu Huazhang came over, holding her hand: "Why are you afraid of the scan? Last time, you had nightmares the whole night after doing it."
Shi Nian closed her eyes and tried to smile: "Four years ago, after I was rescued, I underwent a similar scan. But then the conclusion from the equipment and doctors was that I was fine, yet I knew something was wrong myself. Master, do you understand? There aren’t many people and events in my life to begin with, yet after a scan, it seems even fewer, and this feeling is really unpleasant."
Huangfu Huazhang nodded: "Shall I accompany you?"
Shi Nian looked up: "There will be radiation."
Huangfu Huazhang laughed: "When you had the scan back then, I couldn’t be by your side; now I finally have a chance, I won’t let you face it alone again."
Xia Zuo was anxious, "Master!" There’s so much waiting for the master to urgently handle, why waste time on this?!
Shi Nian raised her eyes and smiled: "Alright, if the master accompanies me, I’m not afraid."
Huangfu Huazhang seemingly didn’t hear Xia Zuo’s plea, merely stepping forward to hold Shi Nian’s hand: "Let’s go."
Xia Zuo felt a collapse within his heart as he watched them head towards the medical imaging room, quickly dialing the phone again.
Still powered off.
.
The scan finished, and the doctor provided an objective diagnosis. Although there is no significant problem, the impact was heavy at the time, so there might be fragmented memory loss during the recovery process. But it might not happen; the doctor looked optimistic and said: "You know, the potential of the human brain is something current human medicine cannot precisely predict. Objectively speaking, memory loss might occur due to damage; but if one’s will is extremely strong, then perhaps nothing would happen."
Shi Nian smiled, thanked the doctor, and said goodbye.
Huangfu Huazhang stood in the bright sunlight outside the door, lowering his eyes to observe the dilation in her pupils from the sunlight: "Are you experiencing any memory confusion now?"
Shi Nian confidently smiled: "Not at all. Still the original me, haven’t forgotten anything, nor fabricated anything extra."
Shi Nian discreetly glanced at Xia Zuo’s somber face behind her and cheekily said: "Master, you should go busy yourself. If you don’t, Xia Zuo will want to tear me apart."
Huangfu Huazhang raised his brows in response, Shi Nian seized the moment to hop off the steps, like a young girl with hair fluttering, waving amid the bright spring sunlight: "Goodbye, Master."
Huangfu Huazhang squinted, gazing intently, his heart a mix of bittersweet emotions.
Love is but a moment, arising and ending because of her; perhaps it will be so throughout his life.
Xia Zuo hurriedly approached: "Now the police have several key witnesses. Master, what should we do?"
Huangfu Huazhang took a deep breath, gazing at the clear sky: "Do you know? Despite my confidence in escaping temporarily, I never planned to evade forever. What does the police matter? Fooling them is truly too easy; as long as I wish it, even at this stage, they still cannot have any measures against me."
He paused slightly, then softly laughed: "What I can’t escape from is indeed my own conscience. Do you understand?"
