"Where did she go?"
Huang Tonghai, who was pretending to doze off, and the uncle both shook their heads and pretended not to know.
"We don't know. We both fell asleep just now."
"Yeah, we don't know where she went."
Looking at their innocent big eyes, Xiao He didn't believe they hadn't seen her. She gritted her teeth in anger.
"I'm telling you, there are surveillance cameras here. If I find out that you watched her escape and didn't tell me, you'll be punished even more severely!"
Xiao He's words successfully scared the uncle and Huang Tonghai pale. Xiao He didn't bother to waste any more words with them. She turned around and activated the positioning system on the handcuffs.
Xiao He saw on the location display on her phone that Gu Anrou's location was actually in the hospital.
"Why did Gu Anrou go to the hospital?" Xiao He stamped her foot in anger. She got in the car with her assistant and drove to the People's Hospital where Gu Anrou was staying.
Gu Anrou's face had been thoroughly scalded by the hot pot soup. Even if it was treated, there would probably be scars on her face.
Xu Qingqing, Wang Lide and others were all standing outside the emergency room waiting.
Lu Chuanbai received a call from Uncle Meng and rushed from the company as fast as he could.
Lu Chuanbai saw Xu Qingqing sitting safely on the bench outside the emergency room and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Chuanbai ran over and directly pulled Xu Qingqing, who was looking at him in surprise, into his arms. He was so strong that he seemed to want to meld Xu Qingqing into his bones. His tone was full of anger.
"I should have come out with you!"
Xu Qingqing was just like a disaster magnet. All kinds of strange disasters would always befall her, which had left Lu Chuanbai with a shadow about letting her go out alone in the future.
"I'll tie you to me with a rope in the future and see who dares to bully you."
Hearing Lu Chuanbai's gritted - teeth words, Xu Qingqing couldn't help but want to laugh. She tiptoed and put her head on Lu Chuanbai's broad shoulder, gently patting his back.
"I'm fine. Thanks to Uncle Meng, none of the hot pot soup splashed on me."
Hearing this, Lu Chuanbai didn't feel any more relaxed. He examined Xu Qingqing from head to toe and carefully noticed the small blisters on the back of her hand.
The small blisters were caused by the splashed hot pot soup. Xu Qingqing was so eager to send Gu Anrou to the hospital that she forgot about the pain. The blisters had even been rubbed open by her.
The pus mixed with the bright red blood streaks, which made Lu Chuanbai feel extremely heart - ache.
"You still say you're not injured. What about these blisters?"
Lu Chuanbai scolded Xu Qingqing and told Uncle Meng to keep guarding here. He took Xu Qingqing to get her wound treated first.
"Let's wait a bit longer. Gu Anrou might come out soon. I'll go to treat my wound after she comes out."
Xu Qingqing refused to move.
Lu Chuanbai couldn't pull her, so he simply picked Xu Qingqing up in a princess carry.
Xu Qingqing was instantly mortified. There were people coming and going in the hospital, and she was being carried by Lu Chuanbai with so many people watching.
Xu Qingqing shyly punched Lu Chuanbai and her face blushed instantly: "Lu Chuanbai, what are you doing? Put me down quickly!"
She was so embarrassed with so many people watching.
"If you're not willing to go with me to apply the medicine obediently, what if there are scars?"
Lu Chuanbai said sternly to Xu Qingqing expressionlessly and carried her to find a doctor.
After they registered, the emergency - room doctor saw that there were only two small blisters the size of broad beans on the back of Xu Qingqing's hand. His face showed a bit of helplessness.
"It's just small blisters from a scald. Just apply some burn ointment."
After saying that, the doctor waved his hand and told them to leave quickly.
"Thank you, doctor. Sorry to trouble you."
Xu Qingqing bowed and apologized while pulling Lu Chuanbai's arm, asking him to thank the doctor too.
"Thank you, doctor."
After they went out, Xu Qingqing stared at Lu Chuanbai with her beautiful peach - blossom eyes, hating that he was not up to par.
"I just have a couple of small blisters. Who told you to register for the emergency room? Do you know how much time this is wasting?"
Lu Chuanbai again pretended to be calm to cover his embarrassment: "I was just worried about you. Blisters are also an injury."
Xu Qingqing could see through what Lu Chuanbai was really thinking at a glance. She said irritably, "This must be the first time you, the young master, have registered here."
The Lu family had a family doctor. Even when going to the hospital, Lu Chuanbai didn't need to register in person. No wonder he was so silly as to register for the emergency room.
Seeing that Lu Chuanbai didn't say a word, Xu Qingqing felt that she had said something too heavy. She gently apologized to him.
"I know you were worried about me, but my injury is not that serious. You don't know how Gu Anrou's face was swollen like a pig's head after being splashed with the hot hot pot..."
As Xu Qingqing was talking, she suddenly realized something. Remembering the past relationship between Lu Chuanbai and Gu Anrou, she carefully observed Lu Chuanbai's expression.
"Gu Anrou is injured. You won't be angry, will you?"
"She deserves it."
Lu Chuanbai said without hesitation. A flash of cruelty passed through his originally pitiful eyes.
"Of course I'm angry. I shouldn't have let her go back then."
He shouldn't have let Gu Anrou go, nor the Gu family!
He should have made the Gu family never have a chance to rise again and made it impossible for Gu Anrou to get close to Xu Qingqing.
When Lu Chuanbai heard that Gu Anrou had splashed the hot pot at Xu Qingqing, he wished he could kill Gu Anrou on the spot.
This woman was so ruthless!
Xu Qingqing, who had been calculated by her every time, had forgiven her so many times, but Gu Anrou didn't repent and even wanted to kill someone!
She was a madwoman!
Seeing Lu Chuanbai so indignant, Xu Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a warm feeling rose in her heart.
"I know you're worried about me. Don't be angry. Go and get the burn medicine."
"Okay."
Xu Qingqing and Lu Chuanbai took the doctor's prescription to the pharmacy to buy medicine. Just then, they saw Xiao He in a police uniform rushing into the hospital. She was communicating with a doctor in a white coat.
After seeing Xiao He, Xu Qingqing went up to say hello. She also told her about Gu Anrou's escape so as not to make her worried.
Before Xu Qingqing could say a word when she walked up to Xiao He, Xiao He looked flustered when she saw Xu Qingqing.
"Qingqing, Gu Anrou has escaped! It's my fault that I didn't watch her properly!"
After seeing Xu Qingqing, Xiao He felt even more self - reproachful.
Gu Anrou was captured by Xu Qingqing and others through the storm and the deadly rapids, but she had let her go because of her carelessness.
She was willing to accept any punishment!
No matter how severe the punishment was, as long as Gu Anrou could be captured!
Seeing Xiao He so nervous, Xu Qingqing quickly comforted her: "Don't worry. Gu Anrou is now in the emergency room for surgery..."
Xu Qingqing briefly told her what had happened between her and Gu Anrou in the hot - pot restaurant.
Hearing that Gu Anrou, who didn't repent, had gone to take revenge on Xu Qingqing, Xiao He's heart skipped a beat. She examined Xu Qingqing from head to toe and turned her around.
After making sure that Xu Qingqing was safe, Xiao He finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her tone was full of self - reproach.
"Qingqing, I'm sorry. It's all my fault that I didn't watch her properly."
