She didn't notice the change in the man's eyes beside her.

Yu Lian said awkwardly, "Who knows if you've been to places like that before?"

He Lin chuckled softly and whispered in his ear, "Really, there's nothing there. Why don't you check?"

Yu Lian turned to look at him, her face innocent, and said, "How can I check? I'm not a tapeworm in your stomach, how would I know what you've done?"

After He Lin whispered something in his ear.

Yu Lian's face flushed red at a visible speed.

"You scoundrel!"

He Lin answered seriously, "I'm telling the truth. I didn't even move while you were gone. Please have pity on me, okay?"

He Lin's eyes were full of pleading, and Yu Lian couldn't look him in the eye at all.

"No, no!"

They were in a sham marriage; how could they possibly have had a relationship?

Even if He Lin doesn't know, that's absolutely unacceptable! We must stick to our bottom line!

"No, well... you're not fully recovered yet, you can't do anything strenuous. Let's talk about it when you're better..."

"I asked the doctor, and it's okay. I'm completely better now, and it's not like I have any other illness."

Fearing that He Lin might do something, Yu Lian quickly distanced herself from him.

"I know very well that you can't, you're not thinking straight right now, you just can't."

Yu Lian, rambling incoherently, quickly left wrapped in a bath towel.

Just as Yu Lian had forgotten the bloody scene from earlier, the police came knocking on her door.

"Ms. Yu Lian, the patient has woken up, and we need to see you in person."

Yu Lian believed that cooperating with the police was a matter of course, but He Lin did not think so. Clearly, the suspicion in the eyes of the two police chiefs meant that it was not as simple as just letting the two meet.

So He Lin went to the hospital with her.

His head was wrapped in bandages, but his eyes and high nose bridge were the only visible parts that revealed a glimpse of his appearance.

He was a young man.

Yu Lian didn't think too much when she saved him, especially since he was covered in tattered clothes and his hair was growing like weeds that covered his face.

At first, I thought he was a man, but then I saw that he had long hair and was wearing women's clothes, so I wasn't sure. It wasn't until we got to the hospital and the nurse reported on the patient's condition that I realized he was a man.

"This is the room, let's go in."

Yu Lian pushed open the door with curiosity. This time, she didn't look at the person through the glass window and gained a deeper understanding of the person's injuries.

Not only was his head wrapped in gauze, but his limbs under the blanket were also wrapped up.

The injuries were far more serious than they appeared.

"Is it her?"

The police officer standing in front of the hospital bed asked the man lying on the bed, whose face could only be seen on half of his face, very cautiously.

"Yes, it's her."

Yu Lian assumed they were discussing whether she had saved him and didn't take it seriously.

It wasn't until the officer beside her whispered, "Madam, if you confess now, we can be lenient with you. We've already verified your identity, and you wouldn't want to be in the news and affect the company's interests, would you?"

Completely bewildered, Yu Lian didn't stay in that state for long. "You suspect I did it?"

The officer didn't speak, but her silence spoke volumes about the level of suspicion the police had of her.

He Lin pulled the person to his side, then waved to the police officers. His attitude left the officers stunned, but they couldn't help but follow him out.

Soon, the group started talking about it in the corridor, and Yu Lian happened to be standing outside the door, able to see directly the person lying on the hospital bed.

She glanced over unintentionally and found the other person looking at her with a smile in their eyes.

He even waved to me in a friendly manner.

Once she was sure the other person was greeting her, Yu Lian walked over.

He then asked the female police officer next to him, "Excuse me, ma'am, did he say that?"

The officer nodded. "You can speak again. I will take notes."

Yu Lian then looked at the strange man on the hospital bed. "Sir, I hope you will tell the truth and be careful with your words."

She looked at the other person very seriously and received a smile in return.

Looking at the officer's nonchalant attitude, Yu Lian turned to him with dissatisfaction. "Officer, I hope to talk to you after the patient has recovered."

The police officer gasped, not daring to speak, and could only use his hands and mouth to give Yu Lian a hint.

"He's...out of his mind."

"Are you dumbfounded!?"

The officer frowned. "Miss, please show some respect for the patient."

Yu Lian awkwardly covered her mouth, forcing out a smile.

"So you know he's mentally unstable, yet you still believe him. If it weren't for our dog smelling blood, he would be dead by now."

The officer told her to calm down, "Our police station will not wrong any innocent person. Please sit down. But he did carefully reconstruct the scene at the time and even mentioned your name."

"Impossible! We don't know him at all. By the way, didn't you go to his house to investigate? He lives across the street from us; an old lady bought the place."

The police officer looked puzzled. According to the information they had gathered, the house was registered under the name of the victim in front of him.

"Ms. Yu, you really don't know this Mr. Li?"

"You don't know him? You can even find out his name, how could you not know his interpersonal relationships?"

Yu Lian's casual remark made the police officer lose face, "But he said he only knows you."

This sentence seemed familiar to Yu Lian. What else could it be but a staged accident?

"Please, sir, I've already paid your medical bills. You're not going to try and get away with it from me, are you?"

Yu Lian decided that she would never again attempt to save someone without understanding the situation.

"elder sister……"

Yu Lian was startled by his sudden action.

Her hand was grabbed by the man who had looked very weak just moments before, and she didn't even have time to react.

A loud sound rang in her ears, sharp enough to make Yu Lian's body react in the most primal way.

After she moved aside, she glanced at the spot where she had just been standing.

He Lin had clearly replaced her, and there was also a hand that had been beaten red.

"Keep your hands to yourself."

He Lin showed no mercy, and in less than ten minutes, someone outside had taken his place in the negotiations.

"come over."

He Lin's outstretched hand carried an air of dominance.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

He Lin's hostility vanished at that moment.

"he……"

"Um."

With just two words, the conversation between the two ended, and the police officer guessed their relationship.

"Sir, if you're worried about your wife, you should contact a lawyer first..."

"Sister Ling needs you to come out for a moment."

The two police officers outside the door clearly looked like they were in trouble.

After the police officer, referred to as Sister Ling, left, only three people remained in the ward.

However, the nurse came in quickly and examined him.

The nurse's coaxing of a child left the two of them silent for a long time.

Yu Lian asked him curiously about his condition, "Nurse, what are the chances of him recovering?"

"I completely understand how you feel. Please believe that a miracle will happen."

The nurse misunderstood their relationship, said something slightly apologetic and comforting, and left the ward. After a few seconds of silence, the man covered in bandages pointed at He Lin, looking angry.

"Sister, he's bullying me."

He Lin clenched his fists, and the dangerous look in his eyes gradually returned.
