Chapter 849 - 824:
"Li Cheng?!" Fang Qin was taken aback. Hasn’t Li Cheng disappeared for quite a while? When the elder Li Tianya was killed, Li Cheng vanished as well, and no one knew where he went. However, the Li Family’s explanation was that Li Cheng had gone abroad, so the police didn’t pay much attention. Fang Qin quickly said, "Contact Li Ruo immediately and have her come to identify!"
"Okay!" The police officer nodded and was about to check Li Ruo’s contact details when Fang Qin quickly interrupted, "No need to contact her, just wait for Ye Chen! First, take the body to the funeral home for preservation while we await further investigation!"
"Yes!" The police officer could only nod. The traces at the scene were photographed, and the forensic experts had withdrawn. The police recorded everything that needed to be registered, and all statements had been taken. After some investigations, Fang Qin stepped back.
The blockade lifted, and the day had mostly dawned. Several cleaners gathered together and then exaggeratedly embellished the scene’s situation. Some elderly people out for morning exercises also gathered around to listen to their description, and news of the explosion in the Central Business District spread throughout Jianghuai City.
Ye Chen lay at the bedside, waking up on the second morning. The poison within his body had either been absorbed by his resilient physique or expelled through metabolism. Upon waking, the first thing Ye Chen saw was Dian Ling sleeping soundly at the bedside. Dian Ling was holding Ye Chen’s hand, sleeping sweetly. It seemed he had been brought to the hospital last night after losing consciousness.
Ye Chen didn’t want to disturb Dian Ling’s sweet dreams, so he planned to gently withdraw his hand and quietly get up. However, as soon as he moved his hand, Dian Ling woke up immediately. Dian Ling half-opened her eyes, glanced at Ye Chen, and their gazes quickly met. Dian Ling was startled and, seeing Ye Chen open his eyes, she immediately exclaimed joyfully, "Ye Chen, you’re awake?"
"Yes!" Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "I made you worried!"
"Oh! No, not at all!" Dian Ling shook her head immediately, with a slight blush on her face. She quickly stood up and asked, "Do you... want to eat something? I can go and buy it for you!"
"No, just help me up. I’m not used to lying down and being waited on!" Ye Chen chuckled softly.
"You scoundrel, haven’t you been lying down letting me wait on you often enough?" Dian Ling snorted lightly, her face already flushed scarlet. Ye Chen paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. He hadn’t expected Dian Ling to be so cheeky; she’d managed to conjure so many associations from just one sentence. Did that sentence really have that much information? Ye Chen’s laughter made Dian Ling feel very embarrassed.
She didn’t know why she’d suddenly said that out loud. As a girl, why couldn’t she be a bit more reserved? Thinking about this, Dian Ling immediately playfully chided, "You scoundrel, hurry up!"
As she spoke, she rushed over and unceremoniously helped Ye Chen up.
