"Brother Shen, you seem to know Yu Youwei. What's your relationship?"
After Shen Lang hung up the phone, Chu Ling'er asked him with curiosity.
"Ling'er, have you forgotten I was part of the Martial Guard Department? Yu Youwei is my colleague."
Shen Lang looked at Chu Ling'er and smiled, "We're not far from the Martial Guard Department. Hasn't Yu Youwei ever eaten here before?"
"No—"
Chu Ling'er shook her head and said, "Yu Youwei really dislikes crowds. Every time, Sister Qinghan would pack food for her."
Speaking of this, Chu Ling'er suddenly asked curiously, "I haven't seen Sister Qinghan for a long time. Where did she go? Weren't you supposed to get married? Why is she nowhere to be heard from now?"
"I don't know where she went either."
Upon hearing Gu Qinghan's name, Shen Lang's emotions became very complicated. After a long pause, a desolate smile crossed his face, and he said, "She left without a word on our wedding day."
"How could that be?"
When Chu Ling'er heard this, her eyes widened. "Although Sister Qinghan is cold on the outside, she's warm and gentle on the inside. She's not the type of person to leave without a word at her wedding. Is there some misunderstanding between you? Did you look for her?"
"Ling'er, you're still young. You don't understand these things. But it's okay, not understanding isn't necessarily a bad thing."
Although a long time had passed, Shen Lang hadn't let go of Gu Qinghan's departure on their wedding day. He sighed, "If it were me, I wouldn't have left without a word at the wedding. Her leaving only means there were other things she valued more than me."
"Brother Shen, I'm sorry, I seem to have brought up your painful memory."
Seeing that Shen Lang's expression had clearly turned displeased, Chu Ling'er said, "I didn't mean to."
"Ling'er, this has nothing to do with you. It's just that I haven't let go yet."
Shen Lang smiled, "If I had truly let go, I wouldn't have any emotional reaction even if you brought it up. So, in the end, it's my problem."
"By the way, I've met your sister. She said she's getting married to Zhao Shengtian of the Zhao family soon. I promised to help her disrupt this marriage, so I hope you can help me at a crucial moment."
"What?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Chu Ling'er looked astonished. "Sister told you about this? It seems she trusts you very much. Brother Shen, I'm really curious, is she really the girl you met when you were little?"
"Yes, it's her. My intuition is never wrong."
Shen Lang said, "Although she hasn't remembered yet, I believe she will recall it soon."
"Brother Shen, I wish your wish comes true. However, regarding my sister, I hope you remain vigilant."
Chu Ling'er looked at Shen Lang and said, "I feel she's very mysterious. For years, she's been doing very strange things. I can't see through her, and neither can my parents. Sometimes, even though she's my own sister, I feel a shiver when I get close to her."
"Perhaps it's just a feeling, but I still advise you not to get too close to her, because I worry that one day you might be irredeemably ruined because of her."
"Silly girl, how could that be? She's just an ordinary girl. How could she be as terrible as you say?"
Shen Lang didn't take Chu Ling'er's words seriously. He smiled at her and said, "Yu Youwei has asked me to go to the hospital. You come with me. Let's go now."
"Okay—"
Hearing Shen Lang, Chu Ling'er forgot what she had just said and replied, "Do I need to prepare anything?"
"No, just come with me."
Shen Lang looked at Chu Ling'er and smiled, "Yu Youwei may be professional, but she's not cold-blooded or heartless. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just relax."
"Don't worry, with Brother Shen here, I won't be nervous. You can solve everything, right?"
Chu Ling'er looked at Shen Lang with tenderness in her eyes and smiled.
"I can't solve everything, but I can solve the trouble you're facing now."
Shen Lang smiled at Chu Ling'er, "I drove here. Get in my car, and we'll leave now."
"Okay—"
Hearing Shen Lang, Chu Ling'er nodded and quickly got into his car. An hour later, they arrived at Nanling People's Hospital and proceeded to the intensive care unit.
"Team Leader Shen, you're so popular right now, it's truly hard to get an appointment with you."
Seeing Shen Lang appear, Yu Youwei in the intensive care unit smiled and said, "I heard you resigned after returning from Yangguo. Is this considered a wise retreat or hiding in plain sight?"
"Weiwei, we haven't seen each other for that long, and your tongue has gotten sharper. It seems my wise retreat was the right decision, otherwise, I'd eventually be talked to death by your sharp tongue."
Yu Youwei was wearing black pants and a blue shirt, with her duty equipment clipped to her waist and her hair neatly tied up. She was incredibly heroic and captivating, making it impossible for anyone to look away. This girl was getting more and more beautiful.
"Team Leader Shen, you're a national hero now, with tens of millions of fans. I wouldn't dare to speak ill of you. Don't scare me."
Yu Youwei enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of interacting with Shen Lang. She smiled and said, "How about you come back to the Martial Guard Department? I'll be your subordinate and do all the work for you."
"No, I wouldn't dare to have a subordinate like you. If I made you do all the work, I'd probably get mugged one day."
Looking at the lively Yu Youwei, Shen Lang smiled, "It's been three months, and your spirit is still good. It seems your physical fitness is indeed strong."
"However, in these past three months, have you felt a dull ache in your abdomen, and has the pain been getting worse?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Youwei looked surprised and asked, "You know about this too?"
"Weiwei, you must believe my words. You are truly poisoned."
Shen Lang looked at Yu Youwei and said, "I don't speak without reason. This poison is very potent. If you don't take it seriously, it will eventually cost you your life. Of course, don't worry, since I'm here today, I'll take this opportunity to help you detoxify. First, I need to check on the condition of the poisoned patients."
"Yes, let's check on the poisoned patients first."
Yu Youwei suddenly remembered the important matter. She pointed to the more than a dozen patients in the ward and said to Shen Lang, "These are the diners who were poisoned that day. Many of them have had diarrhea, persistent fevers, and a few are even in a coma."
"Poisoned?"
As Shen Lang glanced at one of the patients, he sighed, "It's not poisoning, it's a Gu worm infestation."
