Chapter 122: Temporary Cancellation of Contract

  The hustle and bustle in the emergency operating room can rival that of the busiest marketplace. The wounded coming and going, busy doctors rushing back and forth, occasionally brushing past Li Xiaoteng's side.

  But Li Xiaoteng's attention was now fully focused on Tong Lankun. Time seemed to have frozen at this moment, never passing again.

  Tong Lanjun didn't know if it was intentional or deliberate. He grabbed Li Xiaoteng's hand and wouldn't let go, until Zhao Baozi cried out in pain: "Teng ge, Teng ge! I'm done for, hurry up and help me!"

  Li Xiaoteng finally gently broke free from Tong Lankun's hand, and lightly swung his numb arm. He quickly walked to Zhao Baozi's side.

  Zhao Baozi lay on the simple bed, staring at Li Xiaoteng with a dazed expression. Zhao Baozi's face was tear-stained as he asked in an extremely weak voice: "Teng Ge, you won't let me die, will you?" Li Xiaoteng forced a smile, looking not much better than crying, and encouraged him: "It's just this little thing, what are you afraid of? The bullet didn't hit your vitals, so take it easy!"

  I wanted to comfort Zhao Baozi for another two sentences, when Kong Zhen and Yu Pian'er walked over. Kong Zhen spotted Li Xiaoteng at a glance and shouted loudly: "Teng Ge, Yu Su'er has already filed a case for us! The police have started investigating!" Li Xiaoteng hastily turned around and nodded towards Kong Zhen, but said to Yu Pian'er: "Yu Su'er, you must uphold justice for our brother!"

  Before the film was finished, Kong Zhen had already walked to Li Xiaoteng's side. His eyes were looking at Zhao Huazi, but his body was close to Li Xiaoteng. He whispered: "Teng brother, He Jinghua just called. Said he wants to drink with you tonight. I told him that my brother is in the hospital and you are in the hospital too. I'll call him back later!"

  At this time, Yu Pian also walked to Li Xiaoteng's side and looked at Kong Zhen with a strange expression. He said suspiciously: "Xiaoteng, what have you guys done to offend someone? If you're hiding something from me, even if our relationship is good, don't blame me for not reminding you that it's not my responsibility if the case can't be solved!"

  Li Xiaoteng didn't need to think about it and knew that Yu Pian'er had misunderstood. He hastily pulled Yu Pian'er's hand and said, "Yu Suo, you really misunderstood us! What do we have to hide from you? Tonight, a business partner is coming to find me to sign a contract. Kong Zhen told him to block the way, asking if I would return his call!"

  He's an old hand at criminal investigation after all. He glanced at Li Xiaoteng's eyes, smiled and said, "You know what you're doing, no need to explain it to me." He subtly shook off Li Xiaoteng's hand and walked over to Zhao Baozi's bedside, frowning as he examined the injured area. He sighed and said, "I didn't think Zhao Baozi was hurt this badly!"

  He immediately turned around and asked Li Xiaoteng, "I heard that Zhao Baozi was stabbed for you?" Li Xiaoteng thought for a moment. He then sighed and lowered his voice to Yu Pian'er, saying: "The killer seemed to be coming for me, but at the time, due to panic, Zhao Baozi himself blocked the knife with his body. However, the result is indeed that Baozi took the stab for me!"

  Yu nodded. Some words were heavy and long, saying: "You are brothers after all. You must take care of him." "Don't worry, I will take good care of him for emotional and rational reasons! But the murderer is still at large now. Hope you can help more!"

  "In the area under my jurisdiction, I will naturally do my best to crack the case. I have already arranged for someone to review the surveillance footage. The murderer won't be able to escape! You can rest assured!"

  Li Xiaoteng was about to pull Yu Pian'er aside to say something. Just then, several nurses pushed Zhao Biao's cart towards the operating room. Li Xiaoteng and others hurriedly surrounded them. Until the nurse sent Zhao Biao into the operating room. The crowd finally stopped in their tracks, looking at the dazzling lights of the operation in progress sign. They sat down dejectedly at the door of the operating room.

  A notebook suddenly appeared from who-knows-where. Sitting next to Li Xiaoteng, he asked: "You don't need to go to the police station to file a report either. I'll make a record for you right here, and leave the rest to me!"

  The operating room door is very clean, and the sign that prohibits noise seems to have no effect at all. After all, everyone who comes here is waiting for their loved ones in the operating room. No one will sing or dance, or discuss things here.

  Yu Pian'er sat on the resting long bench, asking about the course of events, frowning from time to time, and stopping her pen to ask repeatedly. Until she understood the general situation, she asked Tong Lanjun: "Miss, were you the first to discover that the knife-wielding man was going to attack Li Xiaoteng?"

  Tong Lanjun looked at Li Xiaoteng and said helplessly, "I didn't know at the time that the person behind was going to attack who. That person had already approached Xiaoteng very closely, and then pulled out a strange knife from his waist. At that time, my first feeling was that he was going to attack Li Xiaoteng. So I warned Xiaoteng!"

  He nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions. Closing his laptop, he said to Li Xiaoteng: "Let's stop here for today. I'll take care of the rest, if we catch the suspect. I'll let you know!"

  Saying this, Yu Pian'er stood up and said: "Don't see me off! Don't get up. I'm going back to my room!" Yu Pian'er told everyone not to see him off, but if Li Xiaoteng really sat firmly on the fishing platform and didn't get up to see him off, who knows what Yu Pian'er would think in his heart.

  Li Xiaoteng hastily got up and sent Yu Pian'er to the elevator entrance. His hands didn't idle, he took out a red envelope that was temporarily prepared in the bathroom and stuffed it into Yu Pian'er's pocket, saying: "Yu Su'er, we're all friends. You've worked hard! As for Zhao Baozi's case, please help me more! If we catch the murderer, I'll treat you to a celebratory drink!"

  Yu Pian'er touched the red envelope in his pocket, feeling its thickness. It seemed to have two or three thousand yuan inside. He thought it was acceptable. However, he said, "What are you doing! If we're friends, don't do this!" As he spoke, he pretended to take out the red envelope from his pocket. Li Xiaoteng pressed Yu Pian'er's hand, saying, "Yu Shao'er, I'm also your junior, just a token of my sincerity! If you refuse it, how can we be friends?"

  At this point, he suddenly became majestic and awe-inspiring, with a bright and powerful aura surrounding his entire body. He smiled and said: "Little Teng, since you think so highly of me, I'll let you in on a secret! This happened at the bank entrance, and there just so happened to be surveillance cameras! The murderer will definitely not get away! Solving the case is only a matter of time, just wait for my good news!"

  Li Xiaoteng said with gratitude: "Yu Pian'er, then I'll have to trouble you!"

  As soon as the film was gone, Li Xiaoteng felt a sense of unease in his heart. He weakly slid to the long chair at the door of the operating room, tilted his head back, and gently closed his eyes. His mind replayed the events from just now like a movie, quickly flipping through them several times.

  Li Xiaoteng suddenly heard the Nokia ringtone. He hastily patted his pants pocket, but before he could take it out, Tong Lankun beside him took out her phone and said softly, "Hello? What's up, Xiao Man?"

  Xie Xiaoman said with a spoiled tone: "Tong sister, what time is it now? You're not going back to the company, and the second group of people are still waiting for you to train us!" Tong Lanjun suddenly realized and apologetically said: "Something really came up today, I won't be able to go back to the company. Tell everyone to disperse first!"

  Xie Xiao Man somewhat unhappily asked: "Tong sister, you promised us, we're still waiting for you to invite us to sing a song together! You can't go back on your word. As the leader, you sold two big orders today! We can't be so untrustworthy!"

  Tong Lanjun glanced at Li Xiaoteng and hastily explained: "Xiaoman, I was withdrawing money from the bank today and happened to run into Li Xiaoteng. What's even more coincidental is that we just arrived when Li Xiaoteng's friend was stabbed by a thug! Now I'm accompanying Li Xiaoteng at the operating room door!"

  Li Xiaoteng narrowed his eyes, listening to Tong Lanjun's phone call in an extremely quiet atmosphere. At first, he still felt that his own affairs had delayed others' so much, and he was very embarrassed. Until he heard a scream from Xie Xiaoman on the phone, and the words that followed almost made Li Xiaoteng slip under the chair.

  Tong Lanjun's phone rang out with a scream from Xie Xiaoman. Xie Xiaoman exclaimed loudly: "No way! Ah yo! Sister Tong, Li Xiaoteng is a golden son-in-law! He's worth two houses just by raising his hand! Whether he has money himself or his parents have it. If you get along with Li Xiaoteng, you'll start off as a wealthy lady!"

  Tong Lanjun, whose secret was exposed, quietly swept a glance at Li Xiaoteng with her eyes. She found that Li Xiaoteng seemed to have fallen asleep. He lay there with his head tilted back and his eyes narrowed, as if he really hadn't heard the phone call, without any reaction.

  Tong Lanjun's heart slightly calmed down, and she scolded in a soft voice: "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl! If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll get some poison and make you mute!"

  Xie Xiao Man continued to chatter: "Tong Jie, you must seize the opportunity! If all else fails, just give him a forceful kiss. The little piglet you've raised for over 20 years can be directly stuffed into his mouth. I don't believe he won't surrender! When it's time to spread your legs, you'll spread them. Who knows where the next village will be after this one? Old maidens are hard to marry off, oh!"

  Tong Lanjun's face suddenly turned bright red, like a steamed hairy crab!

  Kong Zhen was originally lowering his head, sitting opposite Tong Lanjun, and didn't know what he was thinking. Suddenly, he raised his head and took a look at Tong Lanjun in front of him, with a slight smile on his face as if he was smiling but not quite. Then he lowered his head again.

  Tong Lanjun didn't notice anything unusual about the face opposite him, and he tilted his head to look at Li Xiaoteng. He saw that Li Xiaoteng's body seemed to have slid down a lot. Feeling that his own thoughts had been exposed, and the person involved was just a few seats away from him. It was unclear whether he had been heard or not.

  Tong Lanjun was at a loss for words and didn't say a word, listening to Xie Xiaoman's endless speech on the phone. Annoyed and ashamed, he thought: "If you put this energy of gossip into sales, how many buildings would have been sold!" He then hung up the phone fiercely.

  Li Xiaoteng, with his eyes closed, suddenly felt that the eyelid of his left eye jumped a few times. He opened his eyes and said to Kong Zhen: "Brother, contact He Jinghua and cancel today's signing!"
