Chapter 1586: Chapter 1591: You’re Sleeping in the Study Room Tonight7
Huangfu Ye asked what happened, to which the man answered, “It looks like a break-in and murder. The adult was stabbed a dozen times, the infant was also stabbed but is still breathing. The infant was rushed to the hospital, but the adult is already dead…”
Huangfu Ye’s head was throbbing. He rubbed his forehead and said, “Make sure you solve this case as quickly as possible. I don’t want to have to come and sort out your police department!”
“Yes!” The police officer quickly went on his way to handle the situation.
Gong Xue was murdered, her newborn Baobao was also stabbed, but fortunately, the child survived.
Gong Xue was murdered in her bedroom, showing signs of abuse. Her death was gruesome.
Qiao Si was dumbfounded. It took him a while to think of calling Huangfu Ye over, as he was in a state of total panic at that moment.
Just earlier that day, Gong Xue and Baobao were fine. Although he and Gong Xue were still on bad terms, their conflicts had subsided somewhat because of Baobao.
He had been spending almost every day with Baobao. He would watch Gong Xue tenderly care for Baobao, and his restless heart would gradually settle.
Only tonight, he had an engagement that had kept him away. He had originally planned to return home when his fiancée called him away.
Later, he couldn’t shake this feeling of unease and decided to return home, only to walk in on such a horrifying scene.
Huangfu Ye was deep in conversation with the police officer. The officer stated that the heavy rain that day had probably washed away most evidence, and that the perpetrator was likely a seasoned criminal with strong counter-surveillance skills. He had left no hint of his identity.
Gong Xue’s body was carried away, covered in a white cloth. Qiao Si stood up, watching her as she was taken away, feeling a sudden surge of pain in his chest…
…
After all matters were taken care of, the villa was temporarily sealed off. Huangfu Ye had already alerted Bai Jingqing, asking him to spare no effort in saving the child.
Bai Jingqing informed him that Baobao had already been moved to the ICU with dedicated personnel attending to him, but the situation wasn’t looking good.
After all, Baobao was so small, just a few months old. It was something of a miracle that he had survived being stabbed.
Huangfu Ye accompanied Qiao Si to the hospital; while the adult was gone, the child remains.
Qiao Si watched as Baobao, naked and connected to all sorts of machines, lay with a tube in his mouth. Qiao Si’s heart felt as though it was being minced.
During the day, he had held Baobao’s tiny fist in his mouth, and Baobao had giggled at him. How much pain could the tiny body take to survive the stab?
After Huangfu Ye helped Qiao Si settle in, he stepped out of the hospital room and hurriedly dialed An Xiaonuan’s number.
Does that woman manage to lock the door, considering how unaware she can be? And what if some criminal comes calling?
Just the thought made Huangfu Ye’s heart clench with worry.
The phone rang for a long time with no answer, adding to Huangfu Ye’s worry. Just as he was about to hang up and rush over to her loft, the call was picked up. An Xiaonuan’s voice came through.
An Xiaonuan was woken by the call. She didn’t want to answer and tried to cover her ears with a pillow, but the relentless caller would not give up, forcing her to pick up.
Huangfu Ye let out a sigh of relief and angrily asked, “Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?”
“Look at the time for god’s sake! If you don’t sleep, does that mean the whole world shouldn’t?!” An Xiaonuan also sounded enraged, sitting up in her bed to retort.
