Last night, when Du Yanqing returned to his room, he happened to see the message Gu Li had sent over via WeChat. The image of the boy on the small path appeared in his mind. He immediately sat up on the bed and took out the jade pendant from the bedside table.

Facing the light of the jade pendant, through the light, one could faintly see a word engraved on the pattern — "Qing".

This caused Du Yanqing to faintly feel suspicious. He used his phone to take a picture of both the front and the back of the jade pendant, and then sent a WeChat to Gu Li. He first apologized for Lu Juyan before trying to ask him to help search for the boy's family and return the keepsake to them.

"No problem."

Gu Li had just finished showering and saw the message Du Yanqing had sent over, so his words were extremely reserved. His fingertip inadvertently cut through his thin lips that had fresh blood flowing out. The anxious expression that was revealed on Du Yanqing's face resounded in his mind, and his mood became a lot better. For some reason, he didn't want to refuse this woman's request. He stared at his phone's input method for a long time before finally typing out two words.

Upon receiving Gu Li's consent, Du Yanqing, who was about to go to bed, immediately lost a large portion of his drowsiness. They chatted with WeChat each other and told her what had happened on the island. They didn't tell her that she had been kidnapped.

After the two talked for almost an hour, Gu Li finally started to urge Du Yanqing to rest. When there was nothing to talk about on the screen, he naturally began to investigate the background of the boy's family and jade pendant.

Until 5 in the morning, when Gu Li finally found some clues. Not daring to be too sure, he took out his phone and called Du Yanqing, trying to get her to come out and confirm the boy's face.

The sleeping Du Yanqing was suddenly awoken by the phone's ringtone, she narrowed her eyes out of habit as she had her hazy thoughts, and pressed the button to answer the call. Hearing Gu Li's words, he immediately sobered up and got up from the bed. He replied excitedly, "I'll go over right now!"

The reason why she didn't go to work all day was because of the situation of the boy's family. As a result, she didn't even have food to eat. When she met Lu Juyan, she did not know what to say.

When it was almost 3 o'clock, Du Yanqing felt that her stomach was a little uncomfortable, causing her consciousness to gradually clear up. She thought that she would be fine if she could endure it, but the more she endured, the more upset she felt.

At the entrance of the hospital, Lu Juyan ran into the hall while carrying Du Yanqing. He was extremely agitated, the veins on his neck were slightly bulging, and his tensed emotions made his entire body turn red. He strode towards a doctor who was reluctant to leave, grabbed his arm, and anxiously said, "Her stomach hurt so much that she fainted!"

The doctor who turned around saw the pale Du Yanqing, and was shocked. He immediately ordered her to be put on the sickbed in the hospital. He personally sent someone to treat her. Upon discovering that it was acute gastroenteritis, he immediately pushed it into the operation room to treat it.

Outside of the operation room, Lu Juyan's emotions fluctuated extremely badly, as his mind rippled with Du Yanqing's intermittent words. He took out his cell phone and called Xi Ao. Suppressing his nervousness, he coldly ordered: "Investigate about Du Yanqing's situation yesterday!"

When Xi Ao, who was just about to go to work, received this call, he was extremely confused, and vaguely felt like Du Yanqing was a woman who had a lot to do. After a few more words of ridicule, he immediately sent his subordinates to investigate.

When Xi Ao went into the company's office, his subordinates immediately sent him the information they had received. He indifferently swept his eyes over it, and felt that after his words were heard, he would immediately pass it to Lu Juyan. After waiting for ten seconds, he did not receive Lu Juyan's orders and put down his phone.

Lu Juyan, who was sitting at the entrance of the operation room, had indeed investigated and determined the exact situation to be what Du Yanqing had said. This greatly reduced the jealousy in his heart. He should have been able to relax, but he couldn't help but frown. It was as if something had blocked his heart, making him unable to describe the feeling.

After almost an hour, the lights in the operation room turned green. Lu Juyan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing the doctor come out and call for his family, he strode forward. Without waiting for him to ask, the doctor directly warned, "The patient is fine now. It's just that she's been hungry for a whole day and her stomach has worsened. She needs more care in the future."

Lu Juyan nodded his head and promised as he remembered every word the doctor said in his heart. Du Yanqing who was pushed out of the operation room followed behind the bed into the sickroom. Seeing the nurse skillfully insert a needle and drip glucose water for her, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her from the bottom of his heart.

After the few nurses left, Lu Juyan sat down on a chair beside Du Yanqing. He reached out his hand and used his fingertips to gently stroke her face, revealing his deep eyes that were filled with pity and love.

, who was lying on the sickbed, had a very comforting sleeping face. She hadn't woken up yet, so Lu Juyan had been guarding by her side the entire time. He didn't care if this place was boring or not. He just quietly sat on the chair and looked at her, waiting for her to wake up.

While waiting, Lu Juyan's phone suddenly rang. It was especially disturbing in this quiet environment. Lu Juyan immediately covered the location where the sound came from and pressed the hang up button. His gaze landed on Du Yanqing, and after realising that the other party had not woken up, he turned around and walked out of the ward with a slightly relieved heart.

Just as he closed the door to the ward, the phone rang again, and a hint of impatience flashed through the depths of his eyes. Angele walked to the window and pressed the answer button. * CHI *

"Ju Yan, we …"

The woman's heart filled with joy as the corners of her lips curled up into a happy smile. Putting away his previous anger, he coughed lightly and straightened his body. He slightly opened his lips and was prepared to speak out the words that he had prepared from the bottom of his heart.

Without waiting for the woman to finish speaking, Lu Juyan coldly opened his mouth and warned, "Don't call me again, I have no interest in you!"

His tone was fretful, and he disdained the love and adoration of a woman in the slightest. His vision drifted out of the window, stabilizing the emotions in his heart. Only then did he give up the impulse to smash his phone. With that, he hung up the phone and placed the woman's phone number on his blacklist.

After a while, Lu Juyan returned to the ward, looked at Du Yanqing who was still unconscious on the sickbed, and continued to sit in his original position to guard, as if he had never left.

The sky gradually darkened and an afternoon passed in the blink of an eye. Just as Lu Juyan turned on the light, he laid on the bed and opened his eyes.
