Chapter 249 - Missing?

"Thank you." Lin Sitong pursed his lips and thanked Doctor Lu.

"Dr. Lin, no need to be so courteous. This is what we should do. Furthermore, the Director Pei is our colleague. " Doctor Lu repeated, but after thinking about it, she added, "Director Pei was awake just now, if Dr. Lin has any hopes, we can go in to see Director Pei now."

"Huh?" Hearing Doctor Lu's words, Lin Sitong's face revealed a trace of hesitation.

"This …" Lin Sitong opened her mouth and hesitated, "Should I …"

"Then, I'll have to thank Doctor Lu!"

Without waiting for Lin Sitong to finish speaking, Ling Xiaorui immediately interrupted him and said to Doctor Lu with a smile: "Then, we'll go in and take a look."

Lin Sitong: "!"

Then, she saw Doctor Lu reveal an 'as expected' expression.

Lin Sitong, "..."

Doctor Lu, are you... Misunderstanding what?

Doctor Lu apparently did not feel that he had misunderstood anything. A knowing smile appeared on his face. "Go." After thinking for a while, he added, "Be careful not to get too emotional ~"

Lin Sitong gave up on the idea of explaining as she was pushed into the ICU by Ling Xiaorui with a face full of despair.

Pei Qingheng was lying on the bed, and upon hearing the sound of someone entering, he turned his head around with a cold expression. The moment he saw Lin Sitong, his expression immediately changed by 180 degrees, and a faint smile immediately emerged on his pale face.

Being stared at by Pei Qingheng's burning gaze made him feel a little uncomfortable. Lin Sitong silently turned her head and avoided Pei Qingheng's gaze, "I heard Second Brother Ling say that you're awake, so … I just came to see you. "

"I'm fine." As Pei Qingheng said that, he sucked in a breath of cold air, and beads of perspiration trickled down his plump forehead.

Lin Sitong's heart suddenly jumped, and she hurriedly raised her head only to see Pei Qingheng's handsome face revealing a painful expression, as large droplets of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

"That's alright?" Lin Sitong's heart became anxious and she suddenly stood up from her wheelchair. A wave of dizziness came over.

She stumbled forward, her thin fingers gripping the hospital bed rail for a long time before she recovered.

"Stone!" Pei Qingheng's nervous and concerned voice rang beside Lin Sitong's ears, and a palm with a faint warmth grabbed onto Lin Sitong's wrist.

After that intense wave of dizziness passed, Lin Sitong opened her eyes and raised her upper body. A pair of amber eyes looked at him nervously.

"Aren't you afraid of dragging the wound again?!" Lin Sitong's brows immediately tightened together.

Pei Qingheng stared blankly for a moment, and upon seeing Lin Sitong's expression, a rare look of shock appeared on her face.

"Quickly lie down! I'm fine! " Lin Sitong frowned, then held Pei Qingheng's hand and carefully helped him lie down.

Seeing Pei Qingheng obediently lie back down, Lin Sitong heaved a sigh of relief. With furrowed brows, she ridiculed, "Pei Qingheng! You're a doctor yourself. Don't you know how serious the consequences will be if the wound is torn open? Not to mention that you're even burned! "

The more Lin Sitong spoke, the angrier she got, and sshe thought back to how Pei Qingheng had fallen on the ground before, and fear rose in her heart immediately. "I was careful to recuperate my injuries, yet you … His wounds had yet to fully heal, and he was already running around everywhere! You're still thinking of deceiving me! Can you make a snack? "

"Yes." Pei Qingheng said with a smile.

Lin Sitong became even angrier: "You're still laughing! "And you?!"

Pei Qingheng changed his words smoothly, "Alright, I will pay attention to recuperating from my injuries and won't let Dr. Lin worry about me."

"That's more like it …" Lin Sitong wrinkled her nose, as she ridiculed, she raised her head and glared at Pei Qingheng, but met his amber eyes. That pair of eyes was brimming with indescribable emotions, with a faint smile within. It was so deep that it seemed like an unfathomable abyss, as if it could attract people to its depths.

Lin Sitong's words were stuck in her throat, she bitterly lowered her head and said: "Since you have nothing to say, I will be going now."

"How are you going to get back?" Pei Qingheng chuckled.

Lin Sitong turned her head to take a look, and immediately became dumbstruck.

At some point in time, Ling Xiaorui and the wheelchair had disappeared from the ward!

Ling, Xiao, Rui! Lin Sitong enunciated Ling Xiaorui's name word by word with gritted teeth in his heart. His pretty face immediately distorted for an instant.

Pei Qingheng lightly placed his hand on the back of Lin Sitong's hand. I'm sorry. "

"N-nothing." Lin Sitong bit her lips and said softly, "It was my fault that I did not ask clearly. I misunderstood you."

The big hand covering the back of his hand tightened even more, and Pei Qingheng's clear voice carried a trace of nervousness: "Then your words from before …"

"Right!" Lin Sitong suddenly raised her head, interrupting Pei Qingheng and changed the topic, "I didn't ask you guys before, but you guys …. "How did you find me?"

Pei Qingheng's face suddenly darkened.

Lin Sitong's eyelashes trembled, she opened her mouth, but did not say anything, and in the end, chose to remain silent.

After a long while, Pei Qingheng's voice lightly rang, "Qiao Nana has discovered that something is wrong. While we investigate the address of the person that belongs to the account, we ask Qiao Nana to call you again to find out the approximate region where the cell phone's signal is coming from."

"So …" And then Nana called me again? " Lin Sitong suddenly realized.

Pei Qingheng looked at Lin Sitong, his eyes revealing a trace of laughter: "You reacted quickly."

"And then?" Lin Sitong asked again.

"Then we called up the surveillance footage from the nearby area and found where you might be going."

Lin Sitong coughed lightly and turned her head around in embarrassment. She asked again, "The person who was in the same car as me … Is he still alive? "

"He's dead." Pei Qingheng lightly coughed, and said indifferently, "After we left, that car exploded."

Explosions?

Lin Sitong clenched her hands nervously.

Although Pei Qingheng had only casually said a few words, Lin Sitong could imagine how complicated the process of searching for him was and how tense the situation was at that time. She pursed her lips, feeling that she had gone too far without knowing the truth.

The surrounding environment suddenly became quiet, and all that could be heard was the 'Beep Beep Beep' sound of the apparatus.
