Chapter 58: Bumping into Each Other

  Jian'an City Public Security Bureau, Su Mu Liu Aizhen dragged Su Lin, in the public security bureau for a while, either recording or signing, finally got the case reported.

  "Ms. Liu, based on your son's description of the suspect's appearance and nickname, we have identified a local thug as the prime suspect. However, since our police department has already targeted this gang and cannot immediately apprehend them, it will take some time to process your case. Please be understanding!"

  The one talking with Liu Aizhen was Yan Longyong, captain of Jian'an City's criminal police.

  "What? You all already know who the criminal is, what are you police eating? Not going to arrest them, can't let these bad eggs harm us ordinary people? You police and underworld are in cahoots, you... this is just covering up for them."

  When Liu Aizhen heard Yan Longyong say this, she became unhappy and tended to make a big noise at the police station.

  "I'm sorry, Ms. Liu. But this is a trap set by our police team and it's almost time to close the net. Please understand us, we're not covering for them, soon we'll catch them all and bring them to justice. However, specific details can't be revealed to you."

  Yan Longyong ran into Liu Aizhen and was also a bit of a headache, explaining repeatedly.

  "Mom, since Captain Yan said so. We should also trust the police, they won't let those bad guys go. It's getting late, and Dad doesn't know if he's coming home or not, we'd better hurry back! The house is still a mess, let's quickly clean up..."

  Su Lin watched from the side, and also knew that if it was really a police gang, she and her mother would be useless no matter what. It would only bring bigger revenge from the underworld, so it's better to go back early and make preparations.

  Su Lin had already made up his mind. Now that Huang Gouz and his men had actually found their way to his home, he had to think of a way to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible. If necessary, he could even take special measures.

  This is Su Lin's bottom line. If Huang Gouzi and his men endangered the lives of his family members, Su Lin would also take ruthless action to eliminate them using his special abilities.

  "Oh no! If your dad saw the state of our home, he'd definitely think I'm crazy. Forget it, we've already reported the case, Xiao Lin, let's head back home..."

  Reminded by Su Lin, Su Mu Liu Ai Zhen also hurried back home and pulled Su Lin out of the Public Security Bureau.

  "Mom, why don't you go back first? I'll go to the Municipal Hospital to visit Sister Zhu and Aunt Liang."

  The municipal hospital and the Municipal Public Security Bureau are in the city center, just across a street block. After Su Lin came out of the Public Security Bureau, he saw the municipal hospital opposite the road and thought of his sister-in-law Ye Xingzhu and her mother Liang Guizhu who were still in the hospital.

  "It's okay, Xing Zhu is alone in the hospital and it's not easy. Xiao Lin, do you have money on you? Buy some fruit or something to go see your Aunt Liang."

  Liu Aizhen nodded and said.

  "Yes! Mum, you'd better hurry back home!"

  "You should come back early too, don't stay out too late. The college entrance exam is in a few days, you mustn't let it affect your studies."

  After exchanging a few words, Su's mother hurried back home. Su Lin bought a basket of fruit from the roadside fruit shop and headed to the Municipal Hospital.

  "I don't know how Aunt Liang is doing now. The doctor said yesterday that the surgery was very successful, so there shouldn't be any major problems. Post-operative care is more important, and Sister Zhu will have to work hard for that. Fortunately, I happened to get 200,000 yuan from the Longhu Gang yesterday, minus the 100,000 yuan for the surgery, and the remaining amount should be enough for Sister Zhu's use."

  As soon as Su Lin entered the municipal hospital, she went straight up the stairs to the fifth floor where the ward was located. Along the way, she was also relieved that she had arrived in time yesterday and taken out the money, otherwise, Zhu Jie might have been forced to agree to Wei's proposal for 100,000 yuan.

  "Money is not omnipotent, but without money, it's utterly impossible."

  It's a very ironic sentence, but Su Lin is now truly feeling it. Adding to the situation at home, it makes Su Lin even more eager to use his ability to earn more wealth.

  "I just asked the nurse at the nurse station, and it seems that Liang Yi's ward is in room 513, which is straight down the corridor from the ICU..."

  On the fifth floor, Su Lin began searching for Liang Guizhu's ward.

  At the same time, in the fifth floor of the municipal hospital, Qin Yanran and her mother Fang Liping were in the intensive care unit. Just now, after seeing the sketch drawn by her grandmother, Qin Yanran could confirm that the young man in the sketch was none other than Su Lin from her class.

  "What? Yanran, Leping. Do you both know this young man who saved me?"

  Tang Huiqin lying on the bed exclaimed in surprise.

  "Mom, it's not just an acquaintance. The little boy in your painting is a classmate of our Yanyan treasure, and today I went to Yanyan's school for the parent-teacher conference, the excellent student representative who gave a speech on stage was him, named Su Lin."

  Fang Liping smiled and said. In fact, she still had another sentence that hadn't been spoken, it turned out that Su Lin not only saved her once, but also saved her mother before that.

  However, because of that time in the hotel room, Fang Liping also had some ambiguous feelings with Su Lin, and she didn't dare to say it out loud in front of her mother and daughter.

  "Oh? What a coincidence! Is it Yiran's classmate?"

  Tang Huiqin was also quite surprised and didn't expect such a coincidence.

  "Yes! Grandma, no coincidence is a book, Su Lin is our classmate."

  When she said this, Qin Yanran puffed out her small chest and looked rather proud.

  "It's good that you know, it's good that you know. Leping, you have to thank Su Lin for me... if not for him, you might not be able to see your mom again."

  Tang Huiqin herself was very clear that if it wasn't for Su Lin rushing to carry her towards the ambulance without hesitation that day, it's likely that by the time the ambulance arrived, it would have been too late.

  "Mom, that's for sure. But the college entrance exam is in a few days, and Su Lin is also taking the exam. Why don't we wait until after the exam, when your body has recovered a bit more after being discharged from the hospital, and invite Su Lin to our home for dinner as a thank you?"

  Fang Liping comforted her mother and said after some thought.

  "Mom! Is this true?"

  Tang Huiqin hadn't spoken yet, but Qin Yanran suddenly jumped up, completely unlike her usual style, getting excited.

  "Smiling, sitting there, what kind of behavior is this for a girl to jump up like that? Didn't mom tell you? You should be more elegant and gentle."

  Fang Liping scolded her daughter with a straight face. Qin Yanran looked embarrassed and stuck out her tongue, saying: "Mom, I'm just surprised, okay? Are we really going to invite Su Lin over for dinner?"

  "Hmm!"

  Fang Liping nodded slightly, then smiled faintly and even made fun of her own daughter, "Don't you want to? Then forget it, just thank Su Lin in person."

  "No, no, no... Mom, that's not what I meant. Su Lin saved Grandma, of course we should invite him home for dinner and thank him properly. How can we just say a few words to his face and let it go?"

  "Alright, alright... then after Su Lin's college entrance exam, find some time to come home for dinner."

  Seeing her daughter Qin Yanran getting a bit anxious, Fang Liping smiled slightly mischievously. In her heart, she had already made her own judgment. It seemed that her daughter, who was usually not interested in boys, really had feelings for this young man named Su Lin!

  "Hmm! Hmm! Hmm! When the time comes, we'll cook and make dishes ourselves, it will be more sincere. What to make? Spicy chicken... Sweet and sour ribs... Oh dear! Mom, I think I'm only good at these two dishes, the rest must be done by you..."

  Qin Yanran's mind had already begun to calculate, without noticing that her mother and grandmother were secretly smiling at each other.

  Just then, Qin Yanran looked up and saw a figure walking past the door of the intensive care unit. This person looks so much like Su Lin!

  "Is that Su Lin? It seems to be really him, what is he doing at the hospital? And he even brought a fruit basket, could it be that he knows Grandma is in the municipal hospital and came to visit her?"

  Taking a closer look, it was indeed Su Lin. Qin Yanran's heart felt a surge of joy, she hadn't expected Su Lin to have such kindness, coming to the hospital to visit her grandmother.

  "Grandma, Mom, look, isn't that Su Lin at the door?"

  Suddenly, Qin Yanran pointed at the door of the intensive care unit and shouted.

  "Su Lin? No... "

  Fang Liping and Tang Huiqin looked towards the door, but found that there was no one at the door.

  "Huh? He was just here a moment ago! I was watching him carry the fruit basket to come in, did he walk past me? Can't find the room number?"

  Qin Yanran took a look and indeed did not see Su Lin's figure, got up and chased out, "Mom, grandma, I'll go take a look, Su Lin might not be able to find his way, I'll call him over."

  "Mom, look at Yanran this child, is she..."

  Fang Liping smiled and looked at Qin Yanran with a smile, happily saying to her own mother.

  "What's wrong with you? You're not a proper mother, haha..."

  But Su Lin didn't know that he had just flashed in front of the special care room door and was seen by Qin Yanran.

  After searching for half a day, Su Lin finally found room 513 and pushed open the door to enter. As expected, Ye Xingzhu was indeed guarding Liang Guizhu's bedside.

  "Sister Bamboo!"

  "Kobayashi? How did you get here? If you're going to come, bring something..."

  Ye Xingzhu looked at Su Lin carrying a fruit basket and coming over, didn't know why, suddenly felt a sour nose, and couldn't speak.

  "Zhu jie, what's wrong? Don't cry! What's going on here? Is the money not enough? Then I'll go think of a way for you..."

  "No! The money is enough, Xiao Lin... I..."

  Ye Xingzhu was already crying uncontrollably, and with one swift motion, she rushed forward and hugged Su Lin tightly. All day long, only she had been by her mother's side as she lay unconscious, without anyone else coming to visit the mother-daughter pair. For a whole day, Ye Xingzhu had stood guard beside her mother, not even eating a meal.

  Now looking at Su Lin carrying a fruit basket, she couldn't help but rush over and hug her. Having been helpless all day, hugging Su Lin made Ye Xingzhu feel secure for the first time.

  "Sū..."

  At this moment, Qin Yanran, who was originally excited and chasing after Su Lin, turned a corner and saw Su Lin enter an ordinary ward room, still hugging Ye Xingzhu.
