"Are you even speaking human language? If you can't speak properly, shut up! No one will think you're mute!" Ruan Tianxin couldn't help but retort, turning her head.
Shao Chen hadn't returned last night, and there was still no news this morning. She was worried sick, wasn't she?
Yu He reached out and placed an arm around Ruan Tianxin's shoulder, offering a comforting hug.
Ruan Tianxin huffed at Shen Yao, then leaned her head onto Yu He's shoulder.
Shen Yao: "..."
"Are they your people?" Yu He asked, tilting her head.
"Yeah, the leader of the special police is a buddy of mine. If I hadn't called them, how could the rescue have arrived so quickly!" Shen Yao said smugly.
"Including the one in the helicopter?" Yu He asked.
"What helicopter?" Shen Yao shot back.
He hadn't seen any helicopter at the time, only a dozen special police cars.
Could someone else have found the rescue faster than him?
"It's nothing, thanks," Yu He said.
If the helicopter had nothing to do with the special police, it meant that the helicopter was very likely the rescue arranged by Qin Beiting!
What kind of status did one need in Xingque to be able to mobilize Xingque personnel so quickly?
Yu He suddenly felt like she had discovered a secret that Qin Beiting was hiding!
"Just a 'thanks'? That's too perfunctory!" Shen Yao complained.
Yu He also felt it was a bit lacking, so she rummaged through her bag, took out her acupuncture kit, and got up to move from the front row to the back.
Seeing the acupuncture kit in her hand, Shen Yao had a bad premonition and immediately shrank back into his seat, looking at her warily.
"What are you doing?"
"Returning the favor," Yu He said, opening the acupuncture kit and taking out a silver needle.
Shen Yao's scalp tingled as he looked at the gleaming needle and immediately said, "No need!"
Once the needle was out, there was no reason not to use it.
Yu He said to Qiao Wei, "Brother Wei, hold him down."
Qiao Wei obeyed and immediately pinned Shen Yao down.
"Don't touch me, aaaaah..."
"Can you be a bit more manly? A grown man afraid of a needle prick." Qiao Wei said dismissively.
After the needle went in, it didn't seem to hurt.
Shen Yao: "..."
Fifteen minutes later, Shen Yao found that his nasal congestion and headache caused by the cold were gone!
Truly a divine doctor!
This was too miraculous!
"You're welcome. Remember to tell me the investigation results of last night's incident from your friend when you get back," Yu He retracted the silver needle.
Shen Yao looked at Yu He with admiration, nodding vigorously: "No problem!"
Afterward, he felt something was off. Wasn't this a return gift?
How did it turn into him running errands again??

Meanwhile.
"Brother Ting, the reports are out," Lu Yiming knocked on the office door and placed a stack of reports on Qin Beiting's desk.
He glanced at Shao Chen, who was asleep on the sofa, and unconsciously lowered his voice, continuing:
"There were indeed two groups of people. That group of bandits was hired by the younger brother of a drug lord you dealt with previously from abroad, seeking revenge for his brother. However, they have now been arrested."
"Mm," Qin Beiting flipped through the reports.
Lu Yiming continued:
"The sniper rifle's bullet caliber, size, material, and casing propellant are identical to those previously retrieved from Qin Meimei's body. The area in the woods has been cleared, and no useful traces were found. The modus operandi is consistent, making it 90% probable that it's the same person who shot Qin Meimei."
The second time!
This made Qin Beiting suspect that the sniper from last time wasn't trying to silence Qin Meimei, but Yu He?!
"Continue the investigation," Qin Beiting said coldly.
Lu Yiming: "Yes."

Yu He arrived in the capital. After disembarking, she checked her phone and saw a message from Shi Ban. She turned and handed her backpack to Qiao Wei, keeping only a small bag.
"You guys go back first. I have something to do, so I'll leave now."
With that, she turned towards the taxi stand, hailed a car, and went to the main hospital of Renren Hospital.
In the VIP ward of the inpatient building.
Qin Xinhong slowly opened her eyes and, seeing herself in the hospital, immediately clutched her stomach and sat up.
"Wife, easy," Gu Sinian, who was guarding the bedside, quickly helped her.
"Why am I here?" Qin Xinhong asked.
She had been taking a walk in the backyard and suddenly felt dizzy, after which she lost consciousness.
"You fainted," Gu Sinian said.
"Is the baby okay?" Qin Xinhong immediately asked.
Gu Sinian hesitated before pressing the call button by the bed to summon the doctor.
Qin Xinhong suddenly had a bad feeling.
Since she stopped taking the pills given to her by Qi Yuanyuan, she had been vomiting severely, and instead of gaining weight, she had lost weight.
She had consulted the most famous obstetrician-gynecologists in the country, who said there was abnormal fetal development and recommended terminating the pregnancy.
How could Qin Xinhong agree!
She had been declared infertile by countless doctors and her greatest hope in life was to have her own child. Now that she was finally pregnant, how could she possibly terminate the pregnancy so easily.
So, the doctor prescribed her some fetal protection medication, but less than half a month later, Qin Xinhong fainted.
The vice president and head of obstetrics and gynecology of Renren General Hospital personally examined her.
"Is my baby okay?" Qin Xinhong asked after the examination.
"Miss Qin, your blood sugar has been rising too rapidly recently, coupled with abnormal fetal development. If the pregnancy continues, the fetal heart will stop, and it will also threaten your health. Based on your current condition, we recommend terminating the pregnancy promptly and receiving medical treatment," the head of obstetrics and gynecology said.
"No!" Qin Xinhong refused immediately. "No matter what, you must save my child!"
"We're very sorry, but we can't," the head of obstetrics and gynecology said with difficulty.
"Bang—"
Qin Xinhong smashed the water glass on the table onto the floor.
"My baby was developing perfectly well. If it wasn't for the drugs given by your Qi Yuanyuan, would it have become like this?!
"Get Qi Suilin to come here. I don't care how you do it, you must save my child! Otherwise, don't blame the Qin family for being impolite!"
"Wife, don't get angry, be careful not to upset your fetus," Gu Sinian said, quickly trying to pacify her.
"Miss Qin, even if the dean comes, he won't be able to save your pregnancy. We are also doing this for your health," the vice president said with difficulty.
Due to Qi Yuanyuan's scandal, the relationship between the Qin and Qi families was already delicate. It was said that even the medical equipment project that the two families were supposed to cooperate on had been suspended.
If the child in Miss Qin's womb couldn't be saved now, the relationship between the two families would likely deteriorate completely.
"I don't want to hear it. Get Qi Suilin to see me, get out!" Qin Xinhong said angrily.
The vice president and the head of obstetrics and gynecology immediately left.
"Wife, don't be upset. Let's go find the nameless divine doctor. Maybe she has a solution," Gu Sinian comforted her.
Mentioning the nameless divine doctor, Qin Xinhong's gaze deepened. She didn't speak, caressed her flat abdomen, and nodded.
Just then, the ward door was pushed open, and a girl walked in, "Looking for me!"
