"Don't say silly things."

Li Wei rubbed her head.

"I'll take you back."

Qin Xue was about to nod, but suddenly noticed that when Li Wei retracted his shoulder, his expression seemed slightly pained.

She recalled what her younger sister had said earlier today.

"Are you hurt?"

Li Wei paused for a moment.

"No."

Qin Xue stared at his shoulder.

"You tell me not to be disobedient, but aren't you being disobedient yourself?"

Li Wei wanted to say something, but Qin Xue had already reached out to gently touch his shoulder.

Li Wei instinctively dodged.

Qin Xue's expression changed.

"You really are hurt."

Li Wei remained silent.

Qin Xue bit her lip.

"Xiao Bing told me today..."

She paused.

"That last night, someone saved several children."

Li Wei looked at her without saying a word.

So that's what the sisters were talking about on the surveillance footage.

Qin Xue continued.

"That person seemed to have an injured shoulder."

She looked up into Li Wei's eyes.

"Was it you?"

Li Wei thought for a moment.

"What else did your sister say?"

Qin Xue hesitated for a few seconds.

"She said that person is very dangerous."

She paused.

"She said he took the law into his own hands and his methods were extremely cruel."

Her voice grew quieter.

"She also said he might have a personality disorder, antisocial personality, and violent tendencies..."

Li Wei smiled.

"What do you think?"

Qin Xue shook her head.

"I don't think so."

Li Wei raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

Qin Xue looked at him.

"Xiao Bing is a police officer; she only looks at things through the lens of legal statutes."

She paused.

"But I'm different."

Her voice was very serious.

"Regardless of whether that person is good or bad."

"In my eyes, he saved those children, so he is a hero."

She paused.

"As for his methods..."

She thought for a moment.

"When dealing with human traffickers, I don't think any method is excessive."

Li Wei looked at her, his gaze softening.

"And I think if those children hadn't been saved by him, they might have already been sold."

Qin Xue continued.

"What would be waiting for them then would be having their organs harvested, or having their limbs cut off to be trained as tools for fraud."

Her voice trembled slightly.

"That is the true hell."

Li Wei reached out and patted her head again.

"It's good that you think that way."

Qin Xue looked up.

"So... was it you?"

Li Wei smiled.

"If you think he is a hero."

He paused.

"Then I am."

Qin Xue was stunned for a moment, then she smiled too.

Although he didn't explicitly admit it, at this moment, silence spoke louder than words.

She suddenly felt that she liked the man in front of her even more.

At the same time, she was very happy.

Because she discovered that it wasn't just because he was rich and capable.

It was also because he had a sense of justice and responsibility.

He dared to take risks for his woman.

He was even willing to take risks for children he didn't know.

How could such a man not make one's heart flutter?

The sky gradually darkened.

Li Wei checked the time.

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat first."

Qin Xue nodded obediently.

The two walked out of the hospital.

When passing by the commercial street opposite the hospital, Li Wei pulled Qin Xue into a supermarket.

"Quickly, let's go push a shopping cart over."

He paused.

"We're going to buy some things."

Qin Xue wanted to say that for a few things, she could just carry them by hand and didn't need a shopping cart.

But Li Wei had already pushed her along as he walked.

Ten minutes later, Qin Xue realized that what he called "some things" was actually quite a lot.

Under her astonished gaze, Li Wei came back with a shopping cart full of items.

Those who knew would think they were shopping.

Those who didn't might think they were fleeing from a disaster.

It was filled with various fruits, snacks, and daily necessities.

Qin Xue covered her forehead.

"You bought too much?"

"Not too much," Li Wei said.

"Buy it all at once, and don't leave the hospital for the next few days."

Qin Xue felt a warmth in her heart.

"I still think it's too much..."

"Not too much."

Li Wei stared at her.

Qin Xue's eyes darted away, and she quickly conceded.

"Not too much."

Hearing her say this, Li Wei finally nodded.

"You scared me to death today; I don't want you going out again."

Qin Xue bit her lip, her eyes slightly red.

"Mm!"

Li Wei also went to a nearby fast-food restaurant and packed two meals.

During this time, Li Wei even made a trip to the bank.

Then, pushing the shopping cart and carrying the lunch boxes, he walked toward the hospital.

Qin Xue wanted to help.

"Let me carry it, your shoulder is still injured, right?"

"No need," Li Wei refused.

"Just follow me."

Qin Xue looked at his back, feeling an indescribable sense of being moved.

Just as they walked into the hospital lobby, two men in security uniforms walked up to them.

Looking closely, it was Old Zhang and Xiao Wang from the surveillance room.

"Dr. Li!"

Xiao Wang greeted them enthusiastically.

Old Zhang's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Xue.

"Miss Qin has been found?"

Li Wei nodded.

"She has."

Xiao Wang smiled.

"Sister-in-law is truly beautiful."

He glanced at the shopping cart.

"You bought so much stuff? Let us help you carry it."

Li Wei wanted to refuse, but Old Zhang had already taken the shopping cart.

"Don't be polite, it's on our way."

Xiao Wang took the lunch boxes from Li Wei's hands.

"Dr. Li, your girlfriend is really beautiful."

He paused and winked at Qin Xue.

"When Mr. Li was looking for you earlier, he was so anxious."

Qin Xue blushed slightly.

Although she didn't know why they called Li Wei "Dr. Li," she was more concerned about the repeated use of "Sister-in-law."

"Is that so? By the way, I want to ask, why do you call me Sister-in-law?"

"Dr. Li said you are his girlfriend," Xiao Wang continued.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know, just a moment ago he rushed into the surveillance room saying he needed to find someone."

He paused.

"He even said that for anyone who went to look for you, Sister-in-law, he would give them 20,000."

Qin Xue was stunned.

"20,000?"

Old Zhang nodded with a smile.

"Not only that."

He paused.

"He also said that the first person to find you would get two million."

Qin Xue's eyes widened.

"Two... two million?"

Xiao Wang smiled.

"Yes, we were all dumbfounded."

He paused.

"Dr. Li was so anxious at that time, he wished he could turn the hospital upside down."

Qin Xue turned to look at Li Wei, her eyes complex.

She hadn't expected that she was so important to him.

Li Wei coughed.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense."

Xiao Wang and Old Zhang exchanged a look, smiling without saying anything.

The four of them walked toward the inpatient department together.

Qin Xue walked beside Li Wei, her heart beating very fast.

She secretly glanced at Li Wei.

He must... like her, right?

Otherwise, why would he be so anxious to find her?

And hold her so tightly?

And be willing to offer a two-million reward?

Qin Xue's face grew redder and redder, her heart feeling both nervous and sweet.

They arrived at Room 508.

Old Zhang and Xiao Wang put the things down.

Old Zhang took a walkie-talkie out of his pocket.

"Miss Qin, this is for you."

Qin Xue took the walkie-talkie.

"What is this?"

"It's for our hospital security internal use," Old Zhang explained.

"Press this button to talk, and release it to hear a response."

He paused.

"If you encounter any emergencies, you can call us directly."

Qin Xue gripped the walkie-talkie tightly.

"Thank you."

"It's our duty," Xiao Wang smiled.

At this moment, Li Wei suddenly took out stacks of red bills.

A full 100,000.

He gave each of them five stacks.

Old Zhang and Xiao Wang were instantly stunned, looking at the money in their hands.

"Dr. Li, this is too much," Old Zhang said hurriedly.

"We didn't really help with anything."

Li Wei waved his hand.

"This is what you deserve. If you think it's too much, just share it with the other security brothers."

He paused.

"After all, working is quite hard for you, it's not easy for anyone."

Old Zhang and Xiao Wang exchanged a look.

Especially Old Zhang.

He felt he shouldn't accept rewards without merit.

This money felt hot in his hands.

Li Wei seemed to sense their hesitation.

He pretended to be angry.

"Are you not planning to accept my goodwill?"

"If that's the case, I'll take it back and throw it away; I have plenty of money anyway."

After speaking, Li Wei made a move to step forward.

Hearing that Li Wei was going to throw the money away, although they knew it was a joke, Old Zhang and Xiao Wang quickly protected the money.

"Can't we just accept it?"

50,000 was indeed a lot for them.

Seeing Li Wei standing there smiling at them, they both stood up straight and saluted Li Wei.

"Then I will thank Dr. Li on behalf of all the security brothers."

"Wishing Dr. Li and Miss Qin good health."

"Wishing Dr. Li and Sister-in-law all the best."

"Wishing Dr. Li and Miss Qin a happy marriage."

"Wishing Dr. Li and Miss Qin a child soon."
