Chapter 144 Visiting Gao Zongyang
Chapter 144 Visiting Gao Zongyang
Li Jiawen looked at the onion carved into a flower and exclaimed in amazement: "Did you really buy this from a roadside stall? Or a five-star hotel? When did roadside stall vendors become so skilled?"
Li Jian thought to himself, "This is just an ordinary bowl of char siu rice. If you were to eat that earth-shattering, soul-stirring rice, you'd be as good as dead."
"There are many hidden masters out there. Why don't you try it and see if it suits your taste?"
Li Jiawen took a small bite and narrowed her eyes. "This is the best char siu rice I've ever eaten."
Whether food is good or not sometimes depends on who delivers it.
If it's delivered by a food delivery guy and it doesn't taste good, I'll give it a bad review.
If it's a gift from a simp's goddess, even if it's a pile of shit, the simp will still praise Shi Zhenxiang.
"So full!"
After eating a bowl of char siu rice, Li Jiawen patted her still flat stomach, "I really can't eat any more of these beef balls."
Li Jian said, "If you can't finish it, you can take it to the hospital for Officer Gao. If that's not possible, you can give it to the doctors and nurses."
"Goodaidi!"
Li Jiawen, carrying a lunchbox, waved to Li Jian: "Come on, let's go see your Inspector Gao!"
The two people entered the elevator.
There were several other people inside the elevator.
A pregnant woman wearing a red shawl and blue maternity dress, with a large belly, is at least 7 or 8 months pregnant and about to give birth.
The pregnant woman was on the phone: "Hello, I'm in the elevator, the signal is bad. Yeah, playing mahjong is fine. When? My husband is only home a couple of days a week, I'm always home alone. Who knows what he's playing? He left before dawn."
There are three more people.
A person dressed formally in a suit and tie is either a banker or an insurance salesman.
Standing next to the man in the suit were a square-faced woman in a black blazer and a young man in white sportswear.
The square-faced woman had thick, dense hair, wore light makeup, and had a strong stigma.
The aroma was so strong it was almost suffocating.
The pregnant woman greeted Li Jiawen, "Mrs. Gao, are you going out?"
Li Jiawen greeted her, "Yes, I'm going to the hospital to see Zong Yang. Mrs. Ye, when is your baby due?"
"Gao sir is so lucky to have married you. You've stayed by his side through thick and thin. If it were me, I would have run away long ago."
The pregnant woman stroked her large belly, her expression full of maternal love: "I'm 38 weeks along now, and I'm planning to have a natural birth. I'm going to the hospital for a prenatal checkup today."
Li Jiawen asked, "Is Mr. Ye not home?"
"Him? He goes out to play basketball before dawn and is always busy with social engagements, but I can manage on my own." As she spoke, the pregnant woman glanced at Li Jian and asked, "And who is this?"
Li Jiawen introduced, "This is A-Jian, Zong Yang's colleague."
The pregnant woman waved to Li Jian as a greeting.
Looking at the pregnant woman's face, Li Jian immediately thought of the older single woman active in the live-streaming room in 2024—Ye Xuan (Shangguan Haitang, Lianhua) with false teeth and pigtails.
The pregnant woman was still very beautiful, and it's not hard to imagine how beautiful she must have been when she was young.
As for the square-faced woman in the black suit, she was just a passerby.
So ordinary that Li Jian didn't even bother to glance at it.
When the pregnant woman greeted Li Jiawen.
The square-faced woman was also talking to the man in the black suit.
The woman was probably there with her younger brother to look at the house, and the man in the suit was a real estate agent.
The square-faced woman asked, "So, what did the homeowner say?"
The agent pushed up his glasses and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Zheng, Mr. and Mrs. Zeng are very insistent on the price and refuse to budge. There's nothing I can do."
To be honest, the price of this unit is really reasonable.
Look, I've shown you several companies, and there are several that are better than this one, right?
How about you go take a look at Building D over there?
The square-faced woman shook her head and said, "That place isn't by the sea, I don't want it."
The agent shrugged: "That's right, you absolutely must have a sea view. There's no better deal than this, Ms. Zheng."
Well, to be honest, the homeowner doesn't just represent us; many real estate agents bring their clients to see the property.
The square-faced woman nodded and said, "I know, let me think about it."
Just then, the agent's phone rang. While taking out his phone, the agent said to the woman with the square face, "If you want to buy, do it sooner rather than later. Don't hesitate. Excuse me, I need to take this call."
Exited the elevator.
The real estate agent and the two sisters who were buying the house left quickly.
Li Jian watched the woman's departing figure, feeling a sense of déjà vu.
It wasn't the kind of déjà vu that you'd seen before, but rather a feeling he'd only ever seen in Ah Feng.
"Is this woman also insane?"
Li Jian shook his head, feeling that he was being a bit neurotic.
Since becoming a policeman, I've always looked at people with a scrutinizing eye, seeing everyone as a criminal.
Seeing Li Jian staring at the woman in black.
Li Jiawen asked with a hint of jealousy, "What are you looking at? Do you want me to get your phone number for you? Or even play matchmaker for you?"
Li Jian snapped out of his daze and smelled a hint of jealousy: "What are you saying, sister-in-law? This is just a professional habit. Besides, that woman's looks are far inferior to yours. You wouldn't be so insecure about your appearance, would you?"
Hearing Li Jian praise her appearance, Li Jiawen was secretly pleased, but spat and said, "You smooth talker, drive!"
Li Jian was driving Gao Zongyang's car.
A silver Mercedes with its hood ornament standing up.
In mainland China it's called a Tiger Head Ben, but in Hong Kong it's called a Pingzhi.
People who ride in this kind of car usually don't race.
So the two of them arrived at He Qiuqi Hospital in just twenty minutes.
Li Jiawen has long, flowing hair, wears a light blue dress with a white openwork cardigan over it, and white high-heeled sandals.
Her perfectly rounded jade feet were crystal clear, and she exuded an air of intellect.
The two, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, attracted a lot of attention as soon as they appeared.
"Hey, your sweetheart is here!"
Li Jian and Li Jiawen entered the special ward. Jim (Zhao Shanhe) patted Ayan (Zhang Hudie) on the shoulder and teased her.
Ah Yan (Zhang Hudie) glanced at it once and then ignored it: "What does it matter to me whether he comes or not? How boring!"
Jim (Zhao Shanhe) shrugged and said, "Some people are just hypocritical. If they didn't care, they wouldn't be angry."
Inside a special ward.
Gao Zongyang lay on the hospital bed, still unconscious with his eyes closed.
However, the instruments monitoring his heart rate and blood pressure were still working normally.
As Gao Zongyang's resident physician, Ayan also came over and said, "Mrs. Gao, your husband's condition is stable, his heart rate and blood pressure are normal, and we have also equipped him with an EEG monitor."
Ah Yan (Zhang Hudie) pointed to a device resembling a heart monitor next to the hospital bed and said, "Mr. Gao is responsive to the outside world, which means he can hear what we say."
His brain processes auditory information, and our next step is to help Mr. Gao regain his sight so he won't have to lie here forever.
Li Jian was startled upon hearing this: "Didn't you say he wouldn't be able to resume his actions?"
