On the way to the hospital, Wen Qiu fell into a coma, mainly due to mental and physical exhaustion, and the injuries on his body were not that serious. The doctor bandaged his broken head and gave emergency treatment to the wounds everywhere.

Pei Du's injuries were much more serious, but he insisted on not accepting the injection until he saw Wen Qiu being sent to the ward. After examination, he had multiple knife wounds, two bullet scratches, and slight fractures in his thigh and ribs. The most serious one was his left shoulder, where the strenuous activity caused the knife wound to tear further, and the wound was so deep that the bone was visible.

It took the doctor a lot of time just to sew up those tattered wounds. When Wen Qiu woke up, the operation was not over yet, so he could only sit outside the operating room and wait anxiously.

There was someone around him who was even more anxious than him. An Yunqi was scrambling around, and the soles of his shoes almost made the floor smoke. Li Tianchang was also receiving treatment in the same hospital. Wen Qiu asked about it and found out that the situation was more serious than he had imagined. He was sent here with heavy bleeding, and the doctor gave him a critical illness notice after taking a look.

At three o'clock in the morning, Pei Du's surgery was over, and the doctor came out and asked, "Who is the family member?"

Wen Qiu stood up immediately, "It's me."

"Okay, the operation was successful, the patient has woken up, please be careful after the operation..."

Before she could finish, Wen Qiu had already rushed into the ward and saw Pei Du leaning on the bed, with many bandages wrapped around his body, his eyelashes slightly drooping, and he looked a little listless. But when she saw him coming, she quickly raised her head, carefully looked him up and down, and then smiled with a relieved look.

His throat was also bandaged, so it was a little difficult for him to speak: "Great, you're okay."

"Take care of yourself more." Wen Qiu felt very uncomfortable when he saw his appearance. "Does it hurt? Is there any other discomfort?"

"I'm fine...really, I'm not lying to you," Pei Du raised his hand with great effort and touched his cheek, "How could anything happen to me when I'm protected by such a brave Qiu Qiu?"

His comfort seemed to have the opposite effect. Wen Qiu bit his lips tightly, and seemed to have swallowed a sob with great effort. He sat down beside the bed, not even daring to hug him, for fear of hurting the wound. He looked at him helplessly, his eyes slowly turning red.

"Don't cry," Pei Du managed to sit up a little, and like a magic trick, he took out a leaf from his palm - he had just plucked it from the potted plant on the bedside table, "I'll play the flute for you, okay?"

He placed the thin leaf against his lips, pinched the edges with his slender fingers, and blew gently. He actually produced a decent melody, a light and lively tune.

Wen Qiu listened in a daze. It was not until this moment that he felt that all the nightmares were gone and they were really rescued... Tears fell unexpectedly, big drops running down his cheeks. He wanted to wipe them away with his hands, but the tears overflowed from between his fingers.

Pei Du had failed to appease his wife and instead made her cry. He looked at Wen Qiu's red eyes and wet cheeks, feeling distressed and a little itchy. He sighed, "You finally cried..."

"Huh?" Wen Qiu was puzzled and looked up at him with tearful eyes.

"You used to cry so much, but you haven't cried since you came back," Pei Du wiped his cheek with pity, "I thought the water in your body had drained away."

This deservedly slapped remark was more effective than ten thousand words of consolation. Wen Qiu's tears stopped immediately. She raised her eyes and stared at him angrily, but there was still a tear on her wet eyelashes. "Are you proud of making me cry?"

"Every time you cry, my heart breaks, so it's better for you to smile," Pei Du looked at him with a smile, "Smile?"

Wen Qiu bit her lower lip, unable to smile at all, but she supported herself on the bed with both hands and leaned over to kiss him. Her lips were also wet, with the salty taste of tears. The soft tip of her tongue came over enthusiastically, licking him like a kitten. Pei Du closed his eyes in satisfaction, enjoying his wife's rare active service.

A voice in his heart jumped up and told him to seize this opportunity! While Wen Qiu's heart was filled with fear, sympathy, gratitude and joy of regaining what he had lost, there would never be a better time than this!
So in between kisses, Pei Du looked at him very seriously, his black eyes filled with sincere love, "I love you, Qiuqiu."

Following this confession, there is a sentence that he has kept in his heart for four years and has been repeatedly wiped by him like a ring:

"Will you marry me?"

Wen Qiu was stunned, but not very surprised, as if he had known that he would not miss this opportunity.

"Hmm..." He propped his chin up as if thinking, but his eyes were full of a foxy smile. He deliberately said slowly, "In fact, the proposal I imagined would be more formal and grand."

Now it was Pei Du's turn to be stunned - although he didn't agree, he didn't refuse either. This was undoubtedly a huge victory!

Besides, a formal and grand proposal? He might be the best person in the world at it.

But in a flash, Pei Du had already figured out what to do. This was a once-in-a-lifetime gamble, and he had to go all out and exchange everything he had for everything he had.

/
That afternoon, Wen Zhiyao came. He heard about this great change after school and rushed to the hospital.

Wen Qiu didn't want to avoid him, mainly because he couldn't avoid him, and Pei Du said that he was old enough to face these things. As an extremely superior ALPHA, they always have to know fear and pain first, and then learn to be strong and brave.

Wen Zhiyao was indeed very strong and held back his tears. He clenched his fists and asked who had done it. Wen Qiu told him that all the bad guys had been chased away.

"But Uncle Pei is seriously injured..." Wen Zhiyao said sadly.

"Don't be sad. Getting injured to protect your loved ones is something to be proud of." Pei Du pulled his little hand over and placed it on the wound he had sutured. "This is a medal of honor."

Medal of Honor... Wen Zhiyao touched the hideous wound, his eyes suddenly filled with admiration, wishing he could get one for himself. Wen Qiu saw that he was getting more and more biased, so he quickly ordered someone to get some water.

At night, Wen Zhiyao was sent back to sleep by the nanny, and Wen Qiu continued to accompany him in the hospital. The dinner was specially prepared by the aunt and brought from home, all of which were light and nutritious soups. Pei Du was unable to move, so Wen Qiu fed him spoonful by spoonful.

After dinner, he asked the nurse to set up another bed in the VIP ward so that if anything happened in the middle of the night, he could still take care of it.

While he was taking care of these things, Pei Du stayed in the hospital bed, his eyes following his movements, with a smile on his face all the time. He thought that it was worth it to undergo a few operations in exchange for Wen Qiu's meticulous care.

After talking to the doctor, Wen Qiu returned to the ward, moved a chair over, sat beside the bed and peeled an apple for him, "An Yunqi blew up Xie Guangming's lair."

"Huh?" Pei Du raised his head while holding an apple in his mouth. "Just now, several oil tankers rushed into the Xie family's gate. First there was an explosion, and then there was a fire."

"Oh, it seems like something he would do." Pei Du took a bite of the apple with a look of disapproval, indicating that he would never do such a reckless and brutal thing.

"Li Tianchang's operation was successful, and he has been transferred to the ICU," Wen Qiu had just run into An Yunqi in the corridor, and could see the murderous intent behind him. "It's a good thing the operation was successful, otherwise I'm afraid he would turn himself into a nuclear bomb and explode with Xie Guangming."

It's strange to say, the thorns in Xie Guangming's side were obviously him, Pei Du and An Yunqi, but this time only An Yunqi was not attacked, but Li Tianchang suffered the misfortune.

"Xie Guangming thought about taking action against An Yunqi," Pei Du said, "but he found that he had nowhere to start."

"Ok?"

"His family is from the underworld. If they play the game of gangsters robbing gangsters, Xie Guangming can't beat him."

Don't be fooled by the fact that the men around An Yunqi look like decent human beings. In fact, each of them is capable of fighting and killing. Take his delicate little secretary for example. She can pick up a 200-pound barbell and smash it on people's heads at any time.

The day after An Yunqi and Xie Guangming's revelations, Xie Guangming was arrested by the police - an anonymous whistleblower submitted thousands of pages of materials and a large amount of video and audio, which contained detailed evidence and rigorous logic, listing his crimes one by one.

Several witnesses with real names also appeared, the most important of which was his trusted subordinate Lei Ge. This dog bit people viciously, and bit his master even more fiercely. Under his accusation, a black industry chain of forcing children into prostitution was exposed, which also involved an orphanage funded by Xie Guangming, causing an uproar in society.

For Xie Guangming, being arrested by the police was actually a good thing. When the explosion occurred, he was in the basement, so he was lucky enough to escape the fatal attack of the oil tanker, but he was also scared. The cold fence in the detention center made him feel safe.

When he entered the prison, he was placed in a solitary cell. The sheriff was his old friend and came to visit him. After having an exceptionally sumptuous lunch, he leisurely asked for a phone and called a certain important person.

The phone appears to be switched off.

A crack appeared on his calm face and he quickly dialed a second number. This time the call went through, but after hearing his voice, the secretary on the other end hung up without saying a word.

Xie Guangming's face turned pale and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.

He spent the whole afternoon sitting there dialing, waiting, and hanging up. Finally, he couldn't help but smash the phone to the ground. The old plastic phone broke into two pieces. He woke up from his dream and knelt on the ground to try to put it together. When he found that he failed, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Someone come! Someone come! Change my phone!"

After an afternoon of absence, his "old friend" came back, but his expression was very different. He knocked on the fence impatiently: "You are damaging public property, and you will be punished once! Your contact time has long ended, come out!"

"Wait, I haven't called your Director Song yet. Director Song and I are old classmates! Can you talk to him about Juming's shares and Leye Real Estate's house for me..."

"Okay, okay, when did you think it was?" The old friend grinned. "By the way, did you know that the explosion opened up your basement, and they said they dug out a lot of good stuff?"

/
"Yes, Director Song, thank you for your help." In the ward, Pei Du held the phone between his shoulders and talked to someone. "Oh, no need, just keep him locked up normally. I have no interest in personal revenge."

"Haha, it turns out that Xie Guangming built his own treasury downstairs of his house. He sleeps soundly with tens of millions of cash every day. There are also account books for decades, and every corruption and bribe is recorded clearly." An Yunqi sat aside and browsed his phone, laughing heartily, "You are amazing, how did you know there is a basement there?"

"I don't know, I just wanted to blow up his hometown." Pei Du hung up the phone and half closed his eyes - the wound hurt a lot. Whenever Wen Qiu was not around, he always looked cold and sleepy.

"Don't give me that. Are you addicted to pretending in front of Wen Qiu?" An Yunqi smiled and pushed him. "You secretly connected everyone up and down the chain. I didn't even know that so many people were involved. The whole Yan City, no, even higher up, is probably going to be shaken."

That is why the capture of Xie Guangming was so smooth and there was almost no resistance - that was naturally because someone had cleared the obstacles one by one in advance, and in the end all it took was a light push and the ball would go into the hole.

He didn't know the severity of his move, so Pei Du slapped his hand away and confessed, "I'm not that amazing. It's just because Xie Guangming was so impatient to attack us that I was sure that he had been abandoned by his own people."

It was because Xie Guangming bit so crazily that he thought of an even crazier revenge. Otherwise, he would not have blown up someone's house if he had done good deeds and burned incense in the past few years.

Of course, he came up with the plan while he was lying on the hospital bed, and the specific execution was entirely done by An Yunqi. Who could have thought that he would do it so spectacularly, he was just short of labeling himself a terrorist.

This was a desperate move. An Yunqi was already bloodthirsty for revenge. Pei Du no longer hesitated and threw out the weight in his hand, laying out all the evidence and witnesses. If this move failed to completely kill Xie Guangming and redeem himself, he and An Yunqi, especially An Yunqi, would probably get into huge trouble.

He had not told Wen Qiu about all this, but was just silently preparing a way out for everyone with his usual meticulousness and carefulness.

As a result, on the third day, a shocking news suddenly came - Xie Guangming died in the detention center.

Director Song only revealed vague details, which probably said that Xie Guangming wanted to apply for medical parole, but was rejected. He was furious and immediately offered to be a tainted witness in exchange for a reduced sentence, and proudly declared that he could catch a big tiger with his intelligence.

He had gone a little crazy after a series of blows, so he didn't notice the way people around him looked at him, as if they were looking at a corpse.

That afternoon, Xie Guangming suffered a sudden heart attack and died in the detention center before he could be sent to a doctor.

Of course, the turmoil he stirred up was far from over. According to the subsequent excavation of information, the bridge collapse case, which had already been concluded, also stirred up new waves. The central government sent a special investigation team and actually caught several big tigers. The whole Yan City experienced a baptism of vigorous and resolute actions.

An Yunqi climbed to the top by stepping on Xie Guangming's corpse, and finally got what he wanted, swallowing up the steel plant he had been dreaming of, and firmly sat on the top seat in Yan City. Pei Du was picky and took away some emerging industries that he was interested in. Xie Guangming's grand whale fall fed two larger predators. The Pei and An families were already huge, and now under the leadership of the two young heads of the family, they are even more powerful.

The tide of the times is constantly surging, old and decaying things are dying, and new forces are rising, and old cities are gaining new vitality. These are all stories for later.
