The wound on Lin Gantang’s forearm was long and deep. Fortunately, it did not hurt the main artery. After arriving at the hospital, it was immediately sutured.

Because the wound was large, the doctor suggested that she stay in the hospital for observation and infusion to prevent infection. It was also convenient for future examinations.

The middle-aged man who had sent her there had asked the doctor about her injuries and left after knowing that she was not in any danger. Lin Gantang could not find him when she came out after getting her wound sutured.

Such a big wound could not be hidden from her family, so Lin Gantang had no choice but to tell Wen Yanqing and Mr. Lin.

The kind-hearted person had sent her to the nearest hospital. It was not far from Shengfang, so Wen Yanqing arrived first. He saw Lin Gantang sitting on the bed with her bandaged right hand. He looked at it again and again, his heart aching, but did not dare to touch it.

Lin Gantang comforted him instead. “It looks scary. I’ll be discharged after a few days with the IV drip. Don’t worry too much.”

“Does it hurt?” Wen Yanqing touched the fingers on her right hand; they felt icy due to her injuries.

Wen Yanqing held her hand with his palm and carefully warmed it with his body heat.

“It doesn’t hurt now. The anesthetic hasn’t worn off yet,” Lin Gantang said honestly.

“How did you get hurt?” Wen Yanqing asked.

Lin Gantang told him the truth about what had happened earlier. After she finished speaking, she was so angry that she couldn’t help but want to scold Gu Shuyue. “Isn’t grabbing someone in that situation an attempt to harm the other party? Do you think she’s really stupid to hide behind everyone she sees, or is she deliberately using me as a shield? I don’t have any deep grudges with her, right?”

“Gu Shuyue.” Wen Yanqing repeated the name and said, “Do you know why the ruffian was chasing her?”

“No.” Lin Gantang shook her head. “It was dangerous at that time. How could I have had the chance to ask?”

Wen Yanqing pursed his lips and touched the pearl bracelet on her left hand that was stained with blood. He took it off and held it in his palm. “I won’t let you get hurt for nothing. I’ll keep an eye on Gu Shuyue.”

Lin Gantang leaned against the headboard listlessly and whined, “I don’t want to be hospitalized. I can come to the hospital every day to change my dressing.”

“Oh? But I’m not a family member, so I can’t decide on your matters. You can tell your dad,” Wen Yanqing replied calmly.

“You are…” Oh, yes, he was her boyfriend. Lin Gantang encouraged him. “I have a good idea. I’ll talk to the doctor and you can persuade my dad. It’ll definitely work.”

Wen Yanqing lifted his eyes. “I thought that the good idea you mentioned was to solve the problem of my identity first.”

“Then you first have to…” Lin Gantang had just opened her mouth when she heard Mr. Lin’s voice.

“Lin Gantang, you’re injured and you’re still not content. What kind of bad idea are you up to? I heard you say that you want to be discharged? Discharged?” Mr. Lin walked in with a sullen expression. “What are you thinking! If the doctor told you to stay, you’ll stay. You’re better than the doctors and don’t need to listen to them, is that it?”

Lin Gantang immediately shrank back and shut her mouth.

Wen Yanqing felt that Mr. Lin had come at the wrong time and felt a little regretful.

When Che Qin saw that Lin Gantang’s family had arrived, she was too embarrassed to stay on. She went over to Lin Gangtang and said, “I’ll go back first. I’ll come and see you later.”

“Be careful on the road. Thank you so much for today.” When she had been in danger, Che Qin had obviously been terrified, but she still came forward to help restrain the ruffian. Lin Gantang was extremely grateful.

Mr. Lin saw Lin Gantang thanking Che Qin and guessed that this lady must have helped. He kindly said to her, “The driver is still here. I’ll ask her to send you back.”

After Che Qin left, Mr. Lin asked Lin Gantang for the name of the lady.

“Her name is Che Qin,” Lin Gantang said. “She was the one who painted the sunflowers at home. She was also the one who told me in advance that Zhang Rongqing wanted to get me poisoned..”
