Chapter 88

Not finding the wedding ring, Qin Yan felt a headache.

She bit her lip awkwardly; she was indeed impulsive last night.

But thinking of the man who slept in the same bed as her every day and still went to open a room with another woman, it was hard for her not to feel disgusted.

However, Zhuang Sitian's words reminded her: since Lu Qianchuan had been secretly in love for so many years, how could anything have happened?

If something had happened, it wouldn't be a secret love anymore.

When did she become so sensitive?

Knowing that the two might not have a good future, why did she still take the risk and do such hurtful things to herself and others?

Thinking until her head hurt, she was too lazy to think anymore and decided to be honest.

She sent a message to Lu Qianchuan.

【Last night, I took off the ring when I showered, and I didn't find it. Did you see it?】

Lu Qianchuan: 【I put it away. I'll give it to you tonight.】

Qin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she didn't lose it; that ring cost tens of thousands.

Since she decided not to move, there was no need to be busy anymore. She should go to school to collect literature for her paper and write her research proposal.

Saying goodbye to Zhuang Sitian, she went to school. Just as she arrived outside the teaching building, she heard the sound of police sirens.

Qin Yan looked up at the second floor of the teaching building. Outside Teacher Shi's office stood people in police uniforms. She hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, rushed into the teaching building, and ran to the second floor, only to see a police officer sitting inside talking to Teacher Shi.

Qin Yan was worried and wanted to go in, but was stopped by the person at the door.

Teacher Shi looked up, saw her, and walked to the door, "Don't panic, nothing happened on my end."

"Then what are they here for?"

"Shi Yuanhong harmed someone and almost caused a life to be lost. They came to ask about some circumstances," Teacher Shi explained, then looked at the police, "I don't know about his behavior. If there's anything I can help with, I will also take action."

"Since Dean Shi doesn't know, we can only go elsewhere to look," the police were looking for Shi Yuanhong. Since he wasn't here, they could only get up and walk out.

After they walked away, Teacher Shi explained to Qin Yan, "Shi Yuanhong tricked a female student into taking abortion pills. That girl happened to go out to play and drink, which led to a massive hemorrhage. She was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and it was only after the emergency treatment that they checked her blood and suspected it was done by Shi Yuanhong."

Qin Yan frowned. Last night, she saw that Shi Yuanhong indeed had a bag in his hand. Looking at it, he had just come out of the lab; someone must have prepared the medicine for him.

And the person who could freely dispense the medicine bottles in the lab, the director of the medical teaching and research group, could deceive everyone.

These two were truly beasts in cahoots!

"Teacher, you, don't be too sad."

Teacher Shi sighed helplessly and reached out to her.

"Take another look at my situation."

Qin Yan was puzzled but still took his pulse. His condition was still stable, with no abnormalities.

"Teacher, is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?"

"Although I've studied medicine for many years, I have oligospermia. This is hereditary."

"..." Qin Yan pursed her lips.

Teacher Shi returned to his seat and said expressionlessly, "I didn't think about marriage before. It was when I was in my thirties that my parents forced me with their lives to arrange a marriage, and I had to compromise. Less than a year after marriage, Shi Yuanhong was born. I didn't expose it. All these years, I've also cultivated him with care."

"But this gene, and his mother's education, are truly things I cannot reverse. I also have responsibility for causing such karma."

"It's not your fault, you—"

"If I had insisted back then, insisted on refusing the marriage, perhaps this child wouldn't have appeared in my Shi family."

"..." Qin Yan frowned.

Teacher Shi gave a bitter smile. His usual arrogant bad temper had now left his shoulders drooping powerlessly, like a balloon that had been pricked.

Having a scumbag child in his later years and watching him commit evil—this kind of retribution was truly heartbreaking.

She still wanted to comfort him a few words, but Teacher Shi waved his hand, his voice and breath weakening, "You go see that girl for me this afternoon. If you can provide compensation, provide it. It's best to bring Shi Yuanhong to justice."

He paused, then got up and said self-reproachfully, "I'd better go see her."

Qin Yan had no choice but to accompany him to the hospital. Upon arriving at the hospital, she heard noise.

It was Mo Shu's ward.

Qin Yan followed the teacher to the outside of the ward and saw Shi Yuanhong's wife, He Yu.

She was cursing Mo Shu, saying that she was fooling around with others but was framing her husband, splashing dirty water on her husband—it was simply shameless to the extreme.

Mo Shu lay on the bed, trembling with anger. Having just had a miscarriage, she was already physically weak, which led to acute respiratory alkalosis. A group of doctors rushed into the ward for emergency treatment.

He Yu thought she was faking a faint and was still yelling and shouting beside her, telling her to get up quickly to withdraw the case and apologize to her, otherwise she would absolutely not let her off.

The doctor couldn't bear it anymore. When they pushed Mo Shu's hospital bed away, they lifted the quilt, revealing Mo Shu's pants stained red with blood. He Yu was scared and backed away, only then showing a hint of nervousness.

Teacher Shi saw this situation, his face ugly. He took Qin Yan and turned to go to the Chinese medicine pharmacy, found someone in the pharmacy to get medicine, and immediately boiled two bowls to send to the ward, telling Qin Yan to let Mo Shu drink them.

After the medicine was fed to her, Mo Shu vomited a pile of blood, and there were blood clots in the blood.

Her pale face finally had a hint of color. She looked at Qin Yan with trembling lips.

Qin Yan patted her back, brought another bowl of medicine, and told her to drink it before speaking.

Mo Shu cried and drank the medicine, saying, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have believed him. He kept showing me favor, helped me, and said that if I were with him, he could help me in scientific research and help me get promoted to a graduate student. I believed his ghost talk for a moment, drank with him, and only then had relations with him. I didn't intend to be a mistress, and I never thought about keeping this child."

Mo Shu trembled with crying. Only after being hugged by Qin Yan did she gradually stop crying, close her eyes, and fall asleep.

Qin Yan helped her lie down, took her pulse, and after checking her physical condition, told the teacher the situation.

She was not a doctor at this hospital and didn't have the ability to prescribe medicine, but with Teacher Shi's status, if he spoke, the hospital would listen to his advice.

After the doctor agreed, Qin Yan took the prescription to get the medicine. Boiling the medicine would also take several hours.

She took the medicine bag out of the pharmacy and didn't expect to run into Gu He'an.

Gu He'an was holding a prescription. Seeing Qin Yan, his eyes lit up, and he stared intently at the medicine bag in her hand.

The medicine bag she gave him before was like this. Because she had prepared it herself, she would use her unique knotting method.

He ran to her excitedly and reached out to stop her.

"Qin Yan, I knew it. Although I did some things that made you unhappy before, I'm still very important in your heart. You came to get medicine for me again."

Qin Yan looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a fool, "A good dog doesn't block the way. Get lost!"

"Qin Yan, I know you're angry with me. I was indeed confused before. Let me apologize to you, okay? I was also momentarily confused by that woman, which is why I did some wrong things. But now I know I was wrong. The person I love most is still you!"

Qin Yan rolled her eyes. Since she couldn't talk to him, she was too lazy to say anything. She bypassed him and continued walking forward.

Gu He'an chased after her, "Qin Yan, if you ignore me, I won't give up. I'll help you carry the medicine."

Seeing him trying to grab the medicine, Qin Yan dodged, staring at him with cold eyes.

"Gu He'an, you were the one who said we had nothing to do with each other. You gave me a fake marriage certificate and watched me look happy—did you feel like you were looking at a fool?"

"I'm sorry." Hearing her directly state the matter of the fake marriage certificate, Gu He'an apologized in a low voice with annoyance, his eyes looking at her affectionately, "Qin Yan, what do I have to do for you to forgive me? As long as you're not angry, I'm willing to do anything for you."
