Chapter 168: Recording the Third-Class Merit as a Consolation
In the center of Kuncheng City, the officers of the Armed Police Detachment looked solemn as they drove their police cars at lightning speed towards the junction of Kuncheng.
The sirens sounded like thunder, and the magnificent scene attracted people's attention. Police cars stopped one by one on both sides of the road, and members of Xing Zhongxing's team slowly got out of the car. At the same time, members of Director Fu's team also got out of the car one after another.
The two sides exchanged glances, full of tacit understanding and solemnity.
Xing Zhongxing showed a calm smile on his face and said, "Director Fu, just send it here! I will prepare the report and fax it to you as soon as I get back.
This time, we must go all out to properly resolve this serious problem and give the people a satisfactory explanation.”
Director Fu was filled with emotion and sighed, "If the service area incident had not happened, we would not know how far these people would have gone in making mistakes.
They were trying to make a living, but unknowingly embarked on a path of breaking the law. Oh, no more, goodbye."
Members of both groups also said goodbye: "Goodbye..."
Wang Weidong's team showed their rigor and professionalism with a standard salute.
Afterwards, everyone turned around and got into the car, with armed police officers leading the way in front, forming an escort posture, and drove all the way to Kuncheng Central Hospital.
Two ambulances carrying ten rescue workers drove safely into the yard of the City Center Hospital under the strict escort of police officers from all sides.
The patients' families and staff in the hospital were all attracted by the scene. They whispered to each other and talked about it.
Mu Xiaoji held a beautiful and exquisite fruit basket in his hand and walked to the door of Wu Lan's ward with light steps. He knocked on the door gently, and then Wu Lan responded gently: "Come in."
Wu Lan saw the door open and saw that it was Mu Xiaoji. She showed a hint of surprise on her face: "Mu Xiaoji, why are you here?"
Mu Xiaoji smiled, as if a spring breeze was blowing on your face: "How do you feel today?" After that, he carefully placed the fruit basket on the bedside table.
Wu Lan smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "You say, my hands and feet are fixed with plaster, I can't go out, I lie in bed all day, how can I get better?"
Mu Xiaoji smiled faintly, like the warm sunshine in winter, reached out and took an orange, peeled it carefully, and handed it to Wu Lan.
He whispered, "You don't get many days off in a year, do you? You use up all your time off every year, and after you recover, you may not even have the chance to rest!"
Wu Lan burst out laughing, with a bright light in her eyes: "Alas, Mu Xiaoji, I just realized today that the stern Mu Xiaoji can now joke!"
Mu Xiaoji sighed softly, his eyes revealing deep thought: "People will grow up, they are not static."
"Where is Jiang Chengyu?" Wu Lan asked curiously.
"I don't know. I haven't seen him since I performed surgery on Zhai Minghao!"
Wu Lan asked nervously, "How is Zhai Minghao?"
"He has been transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward. This time is quite dangerous. He should rest well in the future!"
Wu Lan said angrily: "Those people are simply crazy and mad. I wonder if my master and his men have caught those scums?"
"They should have been caught. We saw that you two were seriously injured that day, so we brought you back for emergency treatment."
Wu Lan requested, "Mu Xiaoji, can you take me to see Minghao?"
Mu Xiaoji smiled and nodded, then stood up and pushed a wheelchair over. He reached out to support Wu Lan, who was hopping on one foot in the wheelchair. Mu Xiaoji helped her place her plastered foot on the pedal and slowly pushed her out of the ward.
At this moment, they heard the police car driving into the hospital with sirens blaring. When the two walked out of the elevator, they saw the police officers holding guns and neatly lined up in two rows.
The medical staff led the rescuers to the infirmary in a hurry. Mu Xiaoji didn't think much about it and continued to walk towards Zhai Minghao's ward in the orthopedic department.
Zhai Minghao had a guilty look on his face and was completely immersed in Jiang Chengyu's meticulous care.
Recalling his own narrow and short-sighted ideas, he ridiculed Jiang Chengyu's words, but he did not expect that Jiang Chengyu would repay him with kindness and save him from the brink of life and death.
Just as he was feeling overwhelmed with shame, he heard the door of the ward being gently pushed open, and saw Mu Xiaoji pushing Wu Lan in.
Zhai Minghao saw that Wu Lan's right hand and right foot were in plaster, and there were some scratches on her cheek and forehead, so he asked nervously, "Sister, how are you?
It's all my fault for being careless and drinking that glass of water. I've worn this police uniform for nothing all these years. I went to a place like that to investigate a case, and I drank what they gave me without thinking. I'm so stupid."
As he spoke, his emotions gradually became agitated. Mu Xiaoji hurriedly shouted in a soothing tone: "Zhai Minghao, calm down, just treat it as a lesson.
Don't move, your injury is too serious, don't dislocate the wound! You will suffer from another operation."
Wu Lan saw that Zhai Minghao was bandaged from head to toe and looked like a mummy! Wu Lan said with concern: "Minghao, Xiaoji is right, you should rest well and don't move around. We just came over and saw people from our bureau working outside. I think the master should come to see us soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside. Everyone looked towards the door and saw Xing Zhongxing, Zhou Jing, and Qin Yanjuan walking in.
Zhai Minghao muttered, "Speak of the devil and he will appear!"
Wu Lan said happily: "Master, you really came!"
Qin Yanjuan and Zhou Jing approached Wu Lan together and asked in unison: "Wu Lan, does it still hurt?"
Qin Yanjuan looked aggrieved: "Oh, look at how my little beauty's face was scratched. What should I do if no one wants her?"
Zhou Jing chuckled and said, "Why are you worrying about this? Isn't there a devoted person waiting for you here?"
Wu Lan did not look at the seriously injured Zhai Minghao, but when she saw the two sisters coming over, she walked silently to Zhai Minghao's side and adjusted his body that had been lying for a long time and Mu Xiaoji who was receiving an infusion.
Xing Zhongxing said with concern: "You two were injured while handling the case this time, so I will award you the third-class merit as a consolation."
Wu Lan responded: "Thank you, Master."
"Thank you, Captain Xing. Have those desperate criminals been caught?"
Xing Zhongxing sighed and said, "We caught them. We formed a special team to investigate. They are not desperate criminals, but ordinary people."
Qin Yanjuan and Zhou Jing also looked at Wu Lan with innocent expressions. Qin Yanjuan said, "Their living conditions are many times worse than we imagined."
Mu Xiaoji asked doubtfully: "Captain Xing, you said those people are ordinary people?"
"Yes, and they are the people who are angry and resentful. After this investigation and evidence collection, I have to go back immediately to summarize the investigation report and give an explanation to the people of Xiaoyang Village.
You two should take good care of yourself. I am relieved to see that you two are doing well. I will come back to see you after I finish my work."
Qin Yanjuan and Zhou Jing patted Wu Lan on the shoulders and said, "We're leaving. It's really troublesome this time. We'll come to see you later. Goodbye." As they walked away, they waved to Zhai Minghao.
"Captain Xing, take care," Mu Xiaoji said politely. Xing Zhongxing lowered his heavy head, waved to them and left the ward.
The three of them quietly watched the backs of Xing Zhongxing and others as they left. The figures that were walking away seemed to carry a heavy sense of mission, which caused ripples in their hearts and made them fall into deep thought.
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, breaking the moment of silence. Mu Xiaoji hurriedly took out his phone from his pocket, glanced at the screen, and saw that it was Xiaoyue calling.
He hurriedly apologized to Wu Lan and Zhai Minghao: "Sorry, I have to take a call."
After that, he pressed the answer button, and Xiao Yue's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Master, where are you now? Grandma's things are packed, Lao Rong is here to pick her up!"
Mu Xiaoji quickly responded: "You guys go first, I'll go back after I finish the discharge procedures."
"Okay young master, grandma told you to hurry up."
Mu Xiaoji thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Yue, tell grandma not to wait for me. I have something else to do. I will go back to see her tomorrow morning."
"I understand, young master. We'll leave first. Please be careful."
"Yeah." Mu Xiaoji hung up the phone, turned his gaze back to Zhai Minghao, and asked softly: "Do you need help adjusting your body again?"
Zhai Minghao shook his head slowly, with gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you, but it's okay."
Mu Xiaoji nodded and said with a smile: "Well, my grandma is discharged from the hospital today, so I'll come over to see you two.
Jiang Chengyu once saved me from a fall from the 16th floor and injured my lumbar spine; this time the operation on you lasted more than five hours, and I observed your post-operative reaction for three consecutive days.
I was worried that his old illness had recurred and no one knew about it, so he just kept on bearing it. I went home to see him."
After hearing this, Zhai Minghao felt guilty. He looked at Mu Xiaoji guiltily and asked, "Is he under a lot of pressure?"
Mu Xiaoji showed a helpless expression on his face. He nodded gently, his eyes revealing concern for Jiang Chengyu.
A brand new taxi slowly drove into the yard of a villa in the sea view area, and the wheels made a slight sound on the flat road.
Mu Xiaoji got out of the car steadily and uprightly. His steps were steady and firm, and he walked straight towards the door of the villa.
He reached out of his pocket and took out the door card, then swiped it gently against the door lock. With a crisp "click" sound, the door lock was instantly unlocked. Mu Xiaoji exerted a little force, slowly pushed the door open and walked in.
The spacious and bright living room was silent. The setting sun shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, but there was no sound to break the tranquility.
Mu Xiaoji walked towards the bedroom upstairs without any hesitation. His steps were very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the villa. When he reached the bedroom door, he gently stretched out his hand and slowly pushed the door open.
What came into view was that familiar figure, lying quietly in the large bed, soundly sleeping.
The figure seemed to have a unique magic that instantly attracted Mu Xiaoji's attention. He gently approached the bed and looked at the person on the bed intently.
The enchanting face was now frowned, twisted into a knot, as if carrying countless worries. The frowned brows made this originally stunning face look more sad, which made people feel pity.
Mu Xiaoji's eyes slowly moved and fell on the bedside table. There was a cup with empty milk on it.
The milk stains on the bottom of the cup had already clumped up, and it looked like it had been there for two days! This small detail made Mu Xiaoji feel a complex emotion. He seemed to be able to see the picture of that person living alone from this cup, lonely and distressing.
