Yu He left the classroom and did not go directly to find Lu Chenyu. Instead, she went out of the school gate and took a ride-hailing car to the city center hospital.
She bought a fruit basket at a fruit store next to the hospital entrance and then went straight to the fifth floor of the inpatient department, entering the last room at the end of the corridor.
Inside the ward, there was no one on guard, only Chen Hao lying in the hospital bed in a patient's gown.
"Miss Yu, why are you here?" Chen Hao quickly sat up when he saw Yu He.
"I came to see you. Is your wound getting better?" Yu He locked the ward door and placed the fruit basket on the table.
Chen Hao lifted his clothes, revealing a bandaged wound on his side. "It's fine, just a minor injury. How is the investigation of the case going?"
Yu He pulled over a chair, sat down, and said in a flat tone, "There's a mole in the bureau."
"Is it really him?" Chen Hao clenched his fists.
Yu He shook her head. "Not sure."
It turned out that Chen Hao's injuries were not as serious as Yang Lin had told Yu He on the phone earlier.
Ever since the items in the banyan tree forest were taken, Yu He had begun to suspect an inside informant, but she didn't know who it was.
Later, at Shengda Venture Capital, Qin Beiting received news that Qin Meimei had bribed the media. Around that time, Chen Hao had been injured on a mission.
So, the two of them colluded. They had Chen Hao exaggerate his injuries to the point where he couldn't handle the case, temporarily hand over the case he was working on, and reveal Gu Yan's whereabouts.
As expected, the person who took over the case immediately arrested Gu Yan and quickly closed her case.
The speed at which it was done made Yu He even more certain that in addition to Zhao Xincheng, who had already been expelled from the bureau, there were people from Qin Meimei's side, or an inside informant. It could be the same person, or not, or even multiple people.
Because as soon as Gu Yan's news broke, Qin Meimei's pre-arranged news was immediately released, and she began to make big moves. She didn't expect that Gu Yan would bite back and land in jail again.
It took less than half a day from Qin Meimei's imprisonment and interrogation to her attempt to bite her tongue and commit suicide, to her being sent to the hospital and being killed by a sniper at the police station entrance.
Clearly, someone had leaked the bureau's movements to the sniper outside, otherwise, the sniper wouldn't have been able to silence Qin Meimei so accurately.
Because no one had anticipated that Qin Meimei would try to bite her tongue to commit suicide, and Qin Meimei herself probably knew that biting her tongue wouldn't lead to a quick death. The police would send her to the hospital before she bled to death, and then she could seize an opportunity to escape, or go to the hospital to see Gu Ze.
However, her true intentions could no longer be expressed. Instead, it confirmed to Yu He that there was an inside informant in the bureau, not just in the northern part of the city, but also in the southern part.
And "he" in Chen Hao's words referred to Yang Lin.
Although Yu He said she wasn't sure, Chen Hao knew that he had received the screenshot of Luo Xiaoyao's email from her, which he had only shown to Yang Lin, but the item was missing, and Yu He had been kidnapped. It was obvious that Yang Lin was highly suspicious.
When he thought of his good brother committing a betrayal of morality, a fire of anger ignited in his heart.
"He only called me once after your incident, saying you were in trouble and that Gu Yan's case was closed. He hasn't made any other moves," Yu He said.
Chen Hao lowered his head, his expression hidden, but his clenched fists showed that he was desperately suppressing his inner rage.
Yu He took out a small brocade box from her bag and gave it to him. "This is a homemade medicine to enhance immunity. Recover well first. The task of catching the informant next, you are more professional than me."
Qin Meimei's death made her suddenly realize that she had been too impatient.
She thought that as long as she was fast and ruthless enough, she could catch the real killer who had killed her adoptive mother, but she had overlooked the cunning of the mastermind.
She needed to learn to be patient. If she openly investigated the informant at the bureau at this time, it would surely alert the mastermind.
If Qin Meimei could be so openly silenced, she feared there was nothing the mastermind wouldn't do.
"Okay," Chen Hao replied.
He understood Yu He's intentions. First, find the informant, then follow the clues to find the mastermind, and finally uproot all the informants in the bureau to rectify the police force!
Yu He didn't stay long. After telling Chen Hao to remember to take his medicine, she left. Before leaving, she reminded him, "Don't tell Brother Ting that I came."
After all, at this time, she should be taking exams at school.
As Yu He left the ward and was about to enter the elevator, she was called out.
"Miss Ye? Is that really you! That's great, I finally got to see you. Our dean has been wanting to contact you."
Yu He turned around and recognized the person who had called her. It was Dr. Li, the attending physician of Old Mrs. Ye.
Dr. Li was very excited to see Yu He. He had witnessed her Thirteen Needles of Gui Men last time, and the dean had praised her highly. However, when they tried to retrieve the video for research, they found that the surveillance system had suddenly malfunctioned, and the recordings were gone.
Since then, Dean Xiang had been thinking about Yu He.
"Is there something?" Yu He asked.
"Our dean has been looking for you for a long time. Are you available to meet? He's in his office right now, and the anonymous divine doctor is also here today. Would you like to meet them together? Please wait here for a moment, I'll be right back," Dr. Li said excitedly.
After speaking, he couldn't wait for the elevator and turned to run towards the stairs, rushing to the dean's office to fetch someone.
In the dean's office.
Qi Yuanyuan had finally figured out some clues. To stabilize her current identity, she had specifically come to explain the questions about the Thirteen Needles of Gui Men that Xiang Tianrui had asked before.
As the two were enthusiastically discussing, Dr. Li burst in. "De-Dean, Miss Ye, Miss Ye has appeared! The Miss Ye who used the Thirteen Needles of Gui Men."
He didn't know Yu He's name, but he knew she was Old Mrs. Ye's granddaughter, so he instinctively called her Miss Ye.
Xiang Tianrui was about to scold him for interrupting him so rudely, but when he heard "Miss Ye," he suddenly stood up. "Where is she? Quickly, take me to her."
"Miss Qi, I apologize. I'll be right back," Xiang Tianrui said to Qi Yuanyuan and then immediately went out with Dr. Li.
Leaving Qi Yuanyuan alone in the office.
She had specifically come to explain the questions about the Thirteen Needles of Gui Men to Xiang Tianrui, but she was treated so coldly. Was the Miss Ye they were talking about even more formidable than the anonymous divine doctor?
She stood up and followed them.
She also wanted to see who this Miss Ye was that they spoke of so highly for her mastery of the Thirteen Needles of Gui Men.
However, when the three of them arrived at the fifth floor of the inpatient department, at the entrance of the elevator, Yu He was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is she?" Xiang Tianrui asked.
"She was just here!" Dr. Li, afraid they wouldn't believe him, said, "I'll have someone retrieve the surveillance footage. Miss Ye really did come."
"No need. She probably had an urgent matter and left," Xiang Tianrui said regretfully. Even if the surveillance footage was retrieved, it wouldn't help, as the person wasn't here. "I believe there will be opportunities to meet her."
