Li Qingfeng exchanged a few words with the people in front of him before returning to Xiaolan's ward.
By then, the aunt and Xiaolan's husband had returned to their normal appearances, with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
Li Qingfeng ignored them and instead looked at Duanmu Yulan beside him, waving her over.
"What's wrong?"
Upon seeing Li Qingfeng's gesture, she couldn't help but ask.
"Let's go, I have things to do soon!"
After all, he had been out for a long time and should return to the hospital. Qin Bingran was still waiting for his news.
With this thought, Li Qingfeng turned to leave.
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry?"
Seeing him like this, Duanmu Yulan was momentarily caught off guard and quickly asked.
Li Qingfeng pointed at her forehead helplessly, "That's why I say you're a bit brainless. What time is it? You're still dawdling here!"
"Haven't we finished the mission?"
Duanmu Yulan's face instantly turned red as she suddenly remembered the important task.
"Ah, right! There's still the mission..." she said somewhat awkwardly.
Hearing this, Li Qingfeng finally understood. This young lady seemed to have forgotten her primary duty.
"Alright, since you remember, let's hurry up and go!" Li Qingfeng turned and waved to her, about to leave directly.
Seeing this, Xiaolan's face showed a worried expression, and she quickly called out to them.
"What's wrong?"
Duanmu Yulan was momentarily unable to react to their sudden stop and asked.
"Ah, no... no... nothing."
Behind her stood Xiaolan's husband. Seeing the female traffic police officer's magnificent figure in front of him, he suddenly had some new thoughts.
Fortunately, the girl was quite simple and didn't notice the look in his eyes, so she remained unaware of it.
However, someone further away, an old hand, Li Qingfeng, immediately noticed something amiss.
"It really is like this!"
His face instantly darkened upon seeing the situation.
After all, he didn't have a good impression of the person in front of him.
"Xiaolan, there's no need for thanks. We have things to attend to. You... you take care of yourself!"
Looking at Xiaolan's earnest face, he thought for a moment and decided not to say anything harsh, instead offering her a word of advice.
Xiaolan was also a smart person. Seeing this, she understood something and nodded at Li Qingfeng.
"Let's go, Duanmu Yulan!" Li Qingfeng pulled the female traffic police officer behind him.
"Why are you in such a hurry! Shouldn't we stay and observe the treatment's efficacy for a while longer?"
Seeing that this person was in such a rush, Duanmu Yulan couldn't help but remind him.
Hearing her words, Li Qingfeng rolled his eyes and said directly to her, "Are you a doctor, or am I? Do I not know what's going on?"
"You're a doctor!"
"Exactly, I'm a doctor. Then listen to me. If I say go, you go. Why so many questions?"
Having gained the upper hand in the conversation, Li Qingfeng was leading her by the nose.
At this moment, Duanmu Yulan hadn't fully reacted and could only nod obediently.
"Tell me, you, even at this point, you still don't listen. What time is it? I still need to go to the hospital to see a friend!"
Glancing at the current time, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
He had originally just come out to ask a question, but it had dragged on for the entire day.
As expected, when he took out his phone, there were already over 20 missed calls.
Five of them were from Aunt Pan, five were from Qin Bingyue.
The remaining dozen or so were all from Qin Bingran. Only when Li Qingfeng was sent out by her did she become very anxious.
Although it was late, he had to let them know he was safe, so he called them back one by one.
Everyone reacted well. Upon hearing that he had saved a pregnant woman, they all praised him and cautiously reminded him to be careful.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll be heading back now!"
He replied to all of them. However, when he got to Qin Bingran, she directly said,
"Bingyue is right beside me. When did you two become such good friends?"
"Our relationship has always been very good! You know this, don't you? I think I've explained it to you before."
At that moment, Li Qingfeng's wits sharpened a hundredfold, and his words were seamless.
If Qin Bingyue hadn't known that they had only met a few times, she might have believed his tall tale.
However, she had to admit that if he were to be a brother-in-law, he would likely be a very capable one, so she helped to cover for him.
"Yes, Sister. You know, our relationship is quite good!"
Qin Bingyue lied with her eyes open, but Qin Bingran could tell she was lying at a glance and didn't expose her.
"Alright, hurry back and be safe!"
"I'm hanging up. I'll be back immediately," Li Qingfeng said, about to hang up.
"Wait a moment!" Qin Bingran suddenly called out to him.
"Is there anything else?"
"It's like this, we haven't had our late-night snacks yet. Can you bring us some fried rice noodles from the old shop on North Street?"
Qin Bingran said somewhat sheepishly, it was already very late, and she didn't even know if it was open.
Saying this, Qin Bingran even acted a bit spoiled.
"Please, you're the best!"
Hearing this, Li Qingfeng's bones melted.
It was true that if the ice-cold female police officer Qin Bingran became truly gentle, she would be utterly devastating.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely bring it back for you."
At this moment, Duanmu Yulan walked up to Li Qingfeng and heard this.
She nodded at him, thinking that such a thing could indeed be bought.
Li Qingfeng immediately agreed.
"Don't worry, it's just buying some fried rice noodles. I'll bring it back for you in a bit!"
Well, this move was called "borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha."
Upon hearing his words, Qin Bingran on the other end was extremely satisfied and happily hung up the phone.
"Is that your girlfriend? You're still being asked to buy things this late."
Duanmu Yulan asked curiously. This girl was quite gossipy.
Hearing her words, Li Qingfeng shook his head seriously.
He explained, "We're just very good friends for now. As for a girlfriend, that might be a bit difficult."
Upon hearing his words, Duanmu Yulan immediately chuckled.
