Chapter 964 Gu Nan was just injured
After taking photos, the officers methodically began cleaning up the scene. Several technicians in white gloves hunched over, meticulously searching every corner of the courtyard. Bullet casings embedded in cracks in the wall were carefully extracted with tweezers. Blood-stained fabric, along with its dirt-stained fibers, was lifted up. Even buttons and broken shoelaces torn off during the fight were considered important evidence. Each was placed into a transparent evidence bag, labeled with its number and location, and carefully sealed in a toolbox. The officer in charge of recording the scene squatted on the ground, circling each piece of evidence with chalk. His pen tip scratched across the notebook, meticulously recording notes like "Three 9mm bullet casings found at the base of the west wall," "Bloodstain sample number 07 at the north door," occasionally looking up and whispering to his colleagues to ensure every detail was correct.
The only sounds in the courtyard were the clicks of cameras, the soft twang of pens across paper, and the carefully gentle footsteps of police officers carrying heavy objects. Compared to the deafening gunfire, the roaring cries of killing, and the heartbreaking cries, the silence was a world of difference. Sunlight filtered through the creeping vines on the courtyard wall, casting dappled shadows on the bare blue brick floor. The wind blew, and the light and shadows swayed, as if silently recalling the thrilling chaos and clamor of the moment.
Outside the hospital's emergency room, the red light was still on. Gu Nan was still being treated. Although the special energy within him was slowly repairing his wounds and gradually stopping the bleeding, the doctors continued to perform meticulous debridement and suturing as a precaution. Ran Qiuye sat on a bench in the hallway, holding the sleeping Gu Shiwan, her fingertips tightly grasping the corner of her clothes, her knuckles turning white. The child had just been frightened and was now restless in her mother's arms, her brow furrowed from time to time.
Director Tong Ren hurried over, still covered in dust from the outside world. Seeing Ran Qiuye, he slowed down his pace and spoke in a gentle voice: "Qiuye, what's going on? Is Gu Nan still in there?"
Ran Qiuye raised her head, her eyes red, but she forced herself not to let the tears fall. Her voice trembled slightly, "Uncle Tong, Gu Nan is still being rescued... He's been in there for almost an hour."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the emergency room creaked open and a doctor in a white coat walked out. He took off his mask, his face showing a trace of fatigue, but he couldn't hide his relief. "Who is Gu Nan's family member?"
Ran Qiuye stood up suddenly, and the child in her arms was awakened, whimpering softly twice. She didn't bother to comfort him and hurried over to him: "I'm his wife. Doctor, how is Gu Nan now?"
The doctor smiled gently. "Don't worry, the patient just lost too much blood and has some skin injuries. They look scary, but they're not seriously injured. We've already taken care of the wounds. Go back and rest for a few days. Be careful not to get an infection, and you'll be back soon."
Ran Qiuye's heart fell back to its original place with a "thump", and she finally couldn't help but cry. She quickly wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and said with a sob, "Thank you, doctor."
Not long after, Gu Nan was wheeled out of the emergency room by a nurse. His face was still pale, but his breathing was steady. After being wheeled into the ward and settled, the energy in his body continued to circulate, repairing the damaged tissues. After an unknown amount of time, his eyelids moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. His vision was a little blurry at first, but after a moment, it focused on Ran Qiuye's face, who was guarding the bedside. His voice was still a little weak: "Qiuye...are you okay? Where's the child?"
Ran Qiuye held his hand that was not receiving the IV drip, tears welling up in her eyes again. She smiled with a sobbing voice and said, "I'm fine, and the child is fine too. Gu Nan, you're finally awake. You don't know how worried I was just now..."
Gu Nan looked at her red eyes, smiled weakly, and patted the back of her hand gently: "I'm sorry to have made you worry... I'm fine now." The sunlight shone in through the window of the ward and fell on their clasped hands, bringing warmth that dispelled all the previous gloom.
Gu Nan smiled, his tone apologetic: "I'm sorry, Qiuye. If it weren't for me, so many things wouldn't have happened, and you wouldn't have been so worried."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Tong Ren beside him, his eyes sincere: "Uncle Tong, this time it is really thanks to your help, otherwise we would not have been able to get out of this so easily."
Tong Ren waved his hand, a gentle smile on his face: "Alright, why are you being so polite to me? I'm glad you're okay. Just rest here and recuperate. Don't worry about anything else."
He had wanted to ask about the details of the conflict, such as who the helpers who had suddenly appeared were and why they were involved in this incident, but seeing Gu Nan's pale face, he swallowed his words back. Now was not the time to ask, the most important thing was to let the child recover well. So Tong Ren gave him a few more words of advice, "Get some rest," and then turned and left the ward.
After Tong Ren left, the ward fell silent. Gu Nan looked at Ran Qiuye and saw a hint of hesitation between her brows, so he took the initiative to speak: "Qiuye, do you have anything you want to ask? Don't hold it in, just say it."
Ran Qiuye nodded, his eyes full of curiosity. "I do have two questions. Who was the person who suddenly showed up to help us out today? And... Heizi also looks unusual. Is he particularly smart?"
Gu Nan smiled and nodded: "Heizi is indeed not an ordinary puppy. He understands human nature and can help a lot in critical moments. As for the person who helped us today, he is a person I accidentally rescued in the past. He follows me now and is named Gu Bei. He is considered my brother."
Ran Qiuye nodded in understanding, then remembered something and spoke with worry in her tone: "Gu Nan, Gu Bei seems to have been seriously injured while protecting us today. Do we need to send him to the hospital? The doctors here are more professional."
Gu Nan had been in a coma for the past few days and hadn't had time to ask about Gu Bei's condition. He closed his eyes and contacted Gu Bei in his spiritual consciousness: "How are you? Where are you now? Are you seriously injured?"
Gu Bei was currently resting in a secluded spot, recuperating. Beside him, Heizi was licking a bowl of spiritual spring water—these spiritual springs had been prepared by Gu Nan in advance and were extremely effective in healing. Upon hearing Gu Nan's voice, he quickly responded, "Gu Nan, we're fine, don't worry. We have the spiritual spring water you left here. We'll recover quickly. We just need some time to rest."
Gu Nan breathed a sigh of relief, opened his eyes and said to Ran Qiuye: "Qiuye, they are fine. They should find a place to treat their injuries. They just don't want to be noticed by the Public Security Bureau, so they didn't go to a big hospital. Don't worry."
Ran Qiuye finally felt relieved, and the worry on her face faded a lot - as long as Gu Nan was safe and sound, nothing else seemed so important.
Gu Nan thought of the Siheyuan again and asked, "The Siheyuan was not affected, right? I remember the situation was quite chaotic at that time."
