Chapter 175: He Overestimated Guo Miao’s IQ

In addition to visiting Lu Zhenting, Guo Miao and the others also brought chicken soup for him.

After all, the hospital food couldn’t compare to home-cooked meals, and Lu Zhenting needed to take good care of his body while he was recovering from his injury.

When Guo Miao and Lu Wanting arrived, they were relieved to see that Lu Zhenting had woken up.

Brother Ting, it’s a good thing you’re okay. You don’t know, I was almost scared to death. That educated youth, Shen, is really vicious. She actually shot someone!

Speaking of Shen Ruyi, everyone thought she was a lunatic.

When Su An heard Guo Miao mention her, she asked curiously, Have the results of yesterday’s investigation come out? How did Shen Ruyi get a gun?

At that time, guns were tightly controlled, so discovering how Shen Ruyi obtained one was crucial.

Guo Miao replied, Sister An, the gun Shen Ruyi got seems to be left behind by enemy spies. I don’t know what kind of luck that woman had to dig up a gun like that.

And the two people who followed her yesterday were bribed by her to help.

Su An frowned, where did she get the money?

She had thought Shen Ruyi was out of funds after losing everything, so where could she have gotten the money?

I don’t know, Guo Miao continued, but I think she might have stolen it from those people on the farm.

Today, I saw someone from the farm go to the police to report that something was lost.

After hearing Guo Miao’s explanation, Su An understood the source of Shen Ruyi’s money.

She couldn’t comprehend Shen Ruyi’s current behavior. After all, she was an educated youth from Beijing, knew Cheng Siyuan, and must have come from a wealthy family, yet she had ended up in this situation.

Now she was committing all sorts of evil—murders, arson, stealing. Such a person deserved severe punishment.

Su An decided not to worry about Shen Ruyi’s affairs; the police would handle it.

Lu Zhenting and Guo Miao shifted the conversation away from Shen Ruyi and focused on Lu Zhenting’s recovery.

Seeing that Su An might struggle to manage everything alone, Guo Miao suggested, Sister An, why don’t you go home and rest? I can take care of Brother Ting here. We can take turns looking after him; what do you think?

After Guo Miao finished speaking, Lu Zhenting shot him a resentful glance.

While Guo Miao had good intentions, Lu Zhenting felt he didn’t need help. He cherished the time alone with Su An and didn’t want Guo Miao to interfere.

So, Lu Zhenting tried to give Guo Miao a hint with his eyes.

But Guo Miao was oblivious, Brother Ting, what’s wrong with your eyes? Why are you blinking so hard? Is it a side effect from yesterday’s injury? You should let the doctor check it out!

Guo Miao looked at Lu Zhenting with genuine concern.

Lu Zhenting’s mouth twitched in response to Guo Miao’s words. This guy usually lacked common sense, and now he seemed even more oblivious.

Fortunately, he thought Guo Miao would be smart enough to pick up on his hints, but it seemed he had overestimated him.

I’m fine, Lu Zhenting replied, trying to sound reassuring.

But Guo Miao persisted, Brother Ting, I really think you should see a doctor. It’ll put your mind at ease. Look, not only do your eyes seem off, but your complexion isn’t great either.

Don’t tell me there’s something really wrong with you!

Lu Zhenting: …

What should he do if he felt like hitting someone?

Su An stifled a laugh, realizing that Lu Zhenting was just annoyed by Guo Miao.

Understanding that Lu Zhenting wanted her to stay and take care of him, Su An decided to fulfill his wish.

After all, he was her man, and she wanted to spoil him.

So Su An said to Guo Miao, Don’t worry about Lu Zhenting; the doctor has checked him, and there’s nothing wrong.

He just needs to rest well in the hospital.

I can handle this by myself, so you don’t have to worry.

Seeing that Su An insisted on taking care of Lu Zhenting, Guo Miao had no choice but to accept.

Since Lu Zhenting wanted Su An to nurse him back to health, Guo Miao didn’t want to intrude on that.

Although Guo Miao didn’t take care of Lu Zhenting, he still made it a point to bring him meals every day.

Su An felt that the food at home was much more to her liking, and she couldn’t stand the hospital cafeteria.

With her picky eating habits, she knew she wouldn’t enjoy the food there.

Over the next few days, Su An took care of Lu Zhenting in the hospital diligently.

Thanks to her careful attention, Lu Zhenting’s condition improved day by day.

After about a week, Lu Zhenting was finally able to be discharged.

Of course, being discharged didn’t mean he was completely healed. He still needed to rest after returning home.

The doctor advised him to stay in bed as much as possible for a month and avoid any strenuous activity to prevent the wound from reopening.

Su An took the doctor’s advice seriously. She promised to keep a close eye on Lu Zhenting and prevent him from overexerting himself.

When it was time for Lu Zhenting to leave the hospital, Su An took care of the discharge procedures and arranged for him to leave.

Worried that the bicycle ride would be too bumpy for him to lie down comfortably, she borrowed an ox cart from the county town.

Guo Miao and the others helped clean the ox cart and laid down bedding, ensuring that Lu Zhenting could lie down comfortably during the journey back.

As they returned to Yutou, many team members from the village came out to express their concern for Lu Zhenting.

They had all heard about his injury, and when they learned that Shen Ruyi had attempted to kill someone again, they were shocked.

They knew Shen Ruyi wasn’t a good person, but no one expected her to go so far as to kill.

If Lu Zhenting hadn’t been so lucky, he might have really lost his life.

While Lu Zhenting was recovering, Wang Weihua felt regretful and blamed himself.

If he had known Shen Ruyi would go this far, he wouldn’t have been so lenient with her. He felt the reputation of the team had suffered, and he regretted not taking action when he first saw Shen Ruyi’s violent tendencies.

When Wang Weihua saw Lu Zhenting returning in the ox cart, he rushed over to check on him, eager to hear how he was doing.

By the time Wang Weihua reached Lu Zhenting, he noticed that Lu Zhenting looked much better, almost like a normal person.

Seeing that Lu Zhenting was not seriously injured eased some of Wang Weihua’s guilt.
