nThe nurse was still on duty and was sitting at the cash register. She took the card and was stunned for a moment.

nThe eleventh floor of this inpatient building was a VIP special ward. Rich and powerful people stayed here, and the nurse was accustomed to seeing various bodyguards.

nShe reacted and asked, “How long?”

nEach room in this inpatient building was equipped with a dedicated care worker. The cost of a month of accommodation and care was 37,000 yuan. In addition to the medical equipment and equipment inspection fees that occurred once in a few days, it cost at least 50,000 yuan a month.

nQin Ran said casually, “One year.”

nOne year’s accommodation and nursing expenses amounted to more than 400,000 yuan. The nurse swiped the card and asked Qin Ran to enter her password several times before she opened the bill.

nAfter paying, Qin Ran took the bill and turned to walk towards Chen Shulan’s ward.

nLin Wan and Ning Qing stood a few steps behind, dumbfounded.

nIn a trance, Ning Qing seemed to have seen the grumpy Qin Ran who sulked and hit others as described in the information.

nQin Ran’s reputation for being difficult to mess with wasn’t just a rumor. Very few people in the school dared to touch her, and her aura was so strong that even Lin Wan didn’t dare to breathe too loudly.

nIn Chen Shulan’s ward, the doctor was holding her records and asking her questions routinely before ending work.

nQin Ran didn’t interrupt him and just leaned on the edge of the bed. She tilted her head slightly and listened carefully to the doctor.

nOnce the doctor left, Qin Ran pulled out a shorter chair and sat by the hospital bed to pour a glass of water for Chen Shulan.

nThe jacket she was wearing today had long sleeves, and when she didn’t roll it up, her hand would be covered. Her right hand was covered by the sleeves and the gauze couldn’t be seen.

nChen Shulan smiled naturally as if she didn’t know that Qin Ran’s hand was injured.

n“How have you been sleeping lately?” Chen Shulan touched her head and asked softly.

nQin Ran hadn’t slept well these two days, probably because she had been too tired. But since yesterday, her sleep quality had improved. She put her left hand on the bed and chatted casually with Chen Shulan before feeling drowsy.

nWhen she fell asleep, Chen Shulan stopped smiling.

nShe slowly lifted the quilt and waved the nurse away. Then, she squatted beside Qin Ran and pulled her sleeves up to reveal her covered right hand.

nIt was wrapped in layers of gauze.

nChen Shulan stared at it solemnly for a long while.

nShe knew very well what kind of person Qin Ran was. She fought with others since young and didn’t care about where she was injured. If Chen Shulan hadn’t found out about her injury sometimes, Qin Ran really wouldn’t have even dealt with the wound.

nEven if it still bled after bandaging it twice, it was considered normal.

nHow was she like Qin Yu, who would fall to the ground while crying, letting Ning Qing and Qin Hanqiu coax her?

nQin Ran’s right hand was wrapped in layers of gauze and Chen Shulan knew that she had a few stitches on it. She felt terrible and only saw that something was strange after a few seconds.

nThe wound was clean and fresh and there wasn’t a trace of blood.

nIt looked well taken care of at first glance, completely different from what Chen Shulan had thought.

nChen Shulan looked at the clean gauze and fell deep in thought.

nThe Lin family’s house.

nNing Qing and Lin Wan hadn’t paid the bill successfully and didn’t dare to see Chen Shulan, so they went back to the Lin family’s house in a sullen mood.

nNing Qing was feeling very confused.

nLin Qi had pushed back several meetings today to come home earlier.

nHe didn’t expect Qin Ran’s case to end so quickly, and for the trial results to come out as well. In fact, it usually took one to two weeks for a trial to be over.

nHis gaze fell on Lin Wan and he asked with his fingertips clasped on the lid of the teacup, “What happened to you today?”

n“Brother, I thought…” Lin Wan had always felt like Qin Ran was a high school student with no financial ability, so she had never taken her into consideration before.

nBut who knew that things would become like this?

n“I said before that Ran Ran should decide how to handle matters.” Lin Qi put the teacup on the table with a “bam” and said with a pair of shining eyes, “This is Yun Cheng, not your capital. What do you mean by there will be no lawyers for Ran Ran’s case as long as you’re here? Lin Wan, listen, is that something an elder should say? Huh?!”

nHe was a businessman and was always open-minded and magnanimous, so even the way he spoke was also humble.

nIt was rare for him to be so angry.

nThe servant didn’t even dare to breathe.

nLin Wan hadn’t been reprimanded by Lin Qi for many years. She felt like he wasn’t giving her face now and flushed instantly.

nLin Qi’s eyes turned to Ning Qing again. “And you? What were you doing following her blindly? That’s your daughter, not your enemy. You don’t even believe your own daughter, how could you be a mother?

n“Lin Wan, I want you to pack up and return to Beijing tomorrow!” He had a headache from his anger and was too lazy to talk nonsense to these two women.

nHe took his phone and went upstairs to call Qin Ran.

nLin Jinxuan pursed her lips and looked at his phone.

nIn the past two days, he had called Qin Ran to ask for some information. Her tone had been fairly good and she hadn’t said anything. Only now did he know that Qin Ran’s hand was stitched.

nHis expression went pale as he went upstairs to change his casual clothes and took his car key.

nLin Qi was calling Qin Ran on the phone and was surprised to see him take the car key. “You’re going to see Ran Ran?”

nHis son had always been indifferent. Ning Qing had been married to the Lin family for so many years and he had never heard him call her “mother” before.

nEven Qin Yu had to take many years for him to warm up to her.

nLin Jinxuan nodded and then frowned again, remembering how she had stayed silent at the police station that night. “I wonder how her hand is.”

n“Wait.” Lin Qi thought for a moment and went to the study to take a bank card. “The password is six 0, take this to Ran Ran.”

nLin Jinxuan nodded.

nQin Yu was practicing the piano, but her thoughts were on what was happening downstairs. When Lin Jinxuan was walking down, she opened the door of the violin room.

n“Brother, where are you going?” Qin Yu came out holding the violin and smiling. “I just practiced a new piece and it’s much smoother now. Do you want to listen…”

nLin Jinxuan had enjoyed listening to her play recently.

n“No, I just told Qin Ran I would find her in school.” Lin Jinxuan raised his eyebrows, his voice light.

nQin Yu gripped the violin tightly and pretended that it was nothing. “Oh…”

n**

nThe school’s medical office.

nQi Chengjun put down his documents and surveyed his surroundings, wondering what kind of magic had made Cheng Juan come all the way here.

nCheng Juan leaned lazily against the table, looking like a mannequin. He was quiet and attentive and had his eyebrows lowered like a painting.

n“Brother, we have telepathy. I just called you yesterday and you got on the plane too.” Lu Zhaoying patted Qi Chengjun’s shoulder and chuckled.

nQi Chengjun frowned and avoided his hand in disgust. “Go away, who has telepathy with you?”

nHe thought for a while and then looked at Cheng Juan. “Master Juan, is Ms. Qin some kind of sacred being?”

nCheng Juan put down the scalpel on the table and tilted his head as if he had heard wrongly. “What?”

n“What sacred being, she’s just a pitiful one.” Lu Zhaoying snorted softly. “And she doesn’t know how to whine.”

n“Huh, no way…” Qi Chengjun was stunned. “Then why did the 129 Detective Agency approach me personally to let me come to Yun Cheng and solve this case?”
