A vegetative state.
Xu Tingyu found it hard to digest this news.
A person who had a big argument with her just five or six hours ago might turn into a vegetative state in the blink of an eye.
Regardless of whether this person had a feud with her or not, the shock was a bit too much.
She couldn't tell what she was feeling. She just felt a sense of stuffiness in her chest.
After the doctor's assistant finished explaining the situation, he went back into the emergency room.
Qi Shifeng had a few words with the hospital director and then let the director leave first. Only he and Xu Tingyu were left sitting in the office.
"We won't get the specific results today. I'll ask Jiang Li to contact the best doctors. Let's go back first."
Seeing that she looked unwell, Qi Shifeng knew that she must have thought of Xu Jia.
Back then, Xu Jia had the surgery here and died here.
Xu Tingyu coming here and hearing the news of Xie Yu being in a vegetative state would surely make her feel emotional.
"How could this happen?"
Xu Tingyu murmured to herself.
Qi Shifeng couldn't answer her question.
However, Xu Tingyu didn't stay in a daze for long because Chen Yan's call came in soon.
"Tingyu, there are policemen looking for you. What's going on? Where are you?"
It turned out that after Chen Yan arrived outside the hotel and was led in through the back door by A Xing, he saw policemen in the lobby asking the receptionist about Xu Tingyu.
Chen Yan was startled. He thought something had happened and immediately stepped forward to inquire.
As a result, the policemen were also very vigilant towards him and asked who he was.
Both sides were very cautious in their answers, and in the end, nothing was really sorted out.
Chen Yan didn't know the exact reason why the policemen were looking for her. He only knew that A Xing said Xu Tingyu had gone out and wasn't in the room.
The policemen said that when she came back, they wanted her to go to the police station, and then they left.
As soon as the policemen left, Chen Yan quickly called Xu Tingyu.
"Is it because of those things on the Internet? Did you call the police?"
Not getting an answer from her, Chen Yan asked another question.
Xu Tingyu shook her head. Then, realizing that the other person couldn't see, she said, "No, I didn't call the police. I just entrusted a lawyer to collect evidence and prepare to file a lawsuit."
She didn't know why the policemen were looking for her either.
"Let's talk about it when you come back. Where are you now? Do you want me to come and pick you up?"
Of course, Chen Yan knew that she was with Qi Shifeng. He just asked deliberately.
Because A Xing said that she had left with Qi Shifeng. As for when Qi Shifeng came, A Xing didn't know either.
Chen Yan was quite depressed when he heard this.
No matter when he came, he had come before him after all.
Was he late again this time?
Xu Tingyu refused. "No need. I'll be back soon. You should rest first. We'll talk about things tomorrow."
After flying such a long distance back, of course, he should have a good rest now.
Chen Yan didn't say much. He just said that he would wait for her to come back.
After she hung up the phone, she saw that Qi Shifeng had been staring at her, his eyes full of possessiveness and dissatisfaction.
"You feel sorry for him flying back and tell him to rest? Why don't you feel sorry for me?"
He was like a child who couldn't get any candy, a bit angry and a bit sad.
But now Xu Tingyu didn't have the time or the energy to coax him.
"My heart is mine. I can feel sorry for whoever I want."
She turned around and walked away, not giving the other person a good look at all.
Qi Shifeng was already used to being angry. He immediately stepped forward and took her hand on his own initiative.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Tingyu looked at their clasped hands.
He argued plausibly, "If we show up at the hospital in the middle of the night and are so well - dressed, it's bound to attract others' attention. Holding hands can divert their attention."
What kind of logic was this?
Xu Tingyu was speechless, but she couldn't break free, so she had to let the other person hold her hand and enter the elevator.
This time, there were other people in the elevator. When they saw the two of them, they all cast their gazes.
After all, it was really strange to be dressed like this in the hospital in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, the two were holding hands. Their clothes looked quite normal, and they both exuded an air of nobility. So after people took a look, they shifted their gazes.
The two entered the elevator. Xu Tingyu voluntarily stood in the corner, and Qi Shifeng naturally followed.
The two didn't say anything else. A little girl in her teens beside them stared at them for a long time and suddenly asked, "Are you celebrities?"
As soon as this was said, everyone looked over again.
This dressing really did look like that of celebrities.
The little girl then continued, "Your hands are so nice, especially this elder brother's. They're so much like my idol's."
She still wanted to see the two people's faces. Some people even took out their phones and were about to take pictures.
But Qi Shifeng quietly stood in front of Xu Tingyu and said to the little girl, "You've mistaken us. We're not."
His voice was deep and carried an imposing sense of oppression that made the little girl take a step back in fear.
"Oh, sorry. The voice really doesn't sound like it. I'm sorry."
Realizing they had made a mistake, the people who had just taken out their phones quietly put them back.
The elevator soon reached the first floor, and most of the people got off.
Qi Shifeng had been protecting Xu Tingyu in his arms and didn't let go even after the people got off.
When they reached the underground parking lot, the two quickly got out of the elevator and didn't notice that the little girl still quietly raised her phone behind them.
After getting in the car, Xu Tingyu took off her mask and hat.
"What do you think about Xie Yu's accident?"
She stared into his eyes and suddenly asked.
Qi Shifeng was caught off guard by the question. He was stunned for a moment and then started the car.
"I'll wait for the police's investigation results, but this incident will surely cause a huge stir."
"Tingyu, if the outside world finds out that she came to the hotel to look for you, the public opinion will surely attack you."
This was true.
Both of them knew it very well.
It was just too much of a coincidence. Xie Yu had just come to look for Xu Tingyu and then had an accident on the way back.
The conflict between these two people could even be traced back four years...
There were too many things in this that could be used as a gimmick. There were surely people who would want to catch this wave of popularity.
However, Xu Tingyu didn't really care about this. She continued to ask, "What else did you talk about after I went up?"
She had completely calmed down by now.
She still didn't believe that it was a simple accident.
Qi Shifeng's car had already driven to the ground and merged into the main road.
Hearing this, his slender fingers tapped on the steering wheel a few times.
Xu Tingyu noticed this detail. This was an action he often did subconsciously when he was annoyed.
She squinted her eyes slightly.
He was very annoyed now. Why?
Was it because of the question she asked or because of Xie Yu's current situation?
But if he was annoyed because of Xie Yu's accident, he would have stayed there instead of leaving with her.
Even in the hospital just now, he didn't seem very shocked or sad.
Did he already know that Xie Yu would have an accident?
