  The whole process took only ten seconds from Xiaoyu's action to his departure, and the Garden Road remained silent, with no one witnessing the entire incident.

  He walked out of the garden road, and Xiao Yu walked for three or four more intersections. In a small alley, he took off his gloves and threw them into a trash can by the side of the road. After leaving the alley, he hailed a taxi and headed straight to the hospital.

  Back in the observation room, Old Zhang's head was still asleep, it seemed that he hadn't woken up during the few hours I was away. Xiao Yu had consumed too much energy today and felt a bit dizzy, so she fell asleep heavily on the edge of Old Zhang's bed.

  Fire.

  All is on fire.

  It's that dream again, with ear-piercing screams all around, countless flashes of knives and swords dancing before my eyes, and countless blood splatters spraying across my face.

  It's that girl with a star-shaped birthmark on her forehead again, accompanying me by my side.

  The scene changed, and he found himself sitting shoulder to shoulder with her on the lush green grass. The girl's eyebrows were like a painting, her bright eyes sparkled, and there was a shallow star-shaped birthmark on her forehead. A gentle breeze blew by, and the girl's hair fluttered, sometimes sweeping across his face, that kind of faint fragrance, once smelled, would be forever unforgettable.

  "Shadow"

  "Hey, young man, you slept all night like this? Are you someone from Zhang Fulin's place?"

  Xiao Yu was suddenly awakened by someone, his mind still lingering in that dream, and he didn't come to his senses until after a while. He lifted his head to take a look, and it turned out that the one who woke him up was a kind-looking middle-aged female nurse.

  Xiao Yu quickly rubbed his eyes and stood up, saying, "Oh, Zhang Fulin is my godfather. What can I do for you?"

  "Adopted father?" The middle-aged female nurse's face showed a hint of surprise, no wonder this young man's appearance didn't match the old man on the hospital bed. However, this young man was able to stay by the old man's side for a whole night, their relationship as adopted father and son was truly extraordinary.

  "Zhang Fulin's leg injury has stabilized now, as long as he goes home and rests well, it will be fine. Just give him some extra nutrition from time to time, and the fracture should heal in a few months. Let's go take care of the discharge procedures now!"

  Xiao Yu felt a surge of joy in his heart, it seemed that Old Zhang's injury was not serious. He followed the nurse to the cashier to handle the discharge procedures.

  The hospital charges are really high now, Old Zhang has already paid some X-ray photography fees and examination fees in advance. Now the total settlement is still needed for Xiaoyu's treatment fee, bed fee and material fee, which is a total of 2,000 yuan.

  Xiao Yu secretly thought that if it weren't for the 10,000 yuan he had received from Wang Guochang, he really wouldn't have been able to afford this hospital bill.

  After paying the bill, Xiaoyu called Xiaodao and asked him to tell Daniu to borrow a yellow fish car immediately and bring a quilt to Hongmei Hospital.

  Lao Zhang's leg was in a cast and couldn't bend, the taxi space is too small, it's not convenient to get in and out, it's still more comfortable to sit in a yellow fish car.

  Xiao Yu plans to move Lao Zhang's head to his own store, now that there are many people in his own store, even if he is not around, Zhou Xin and Tao Hong will help take care of Lao Zhang's head, these two girls are much more meticulous than himself.

  Anyway, everything in his room is ready-made, and it's just right for Old Zhang to recover from his injury.

  Back in the observation room, Old Zhang had already woken up and was leaning against the headboard listening to music. Seeing Xiaoyu, he immediately shouted, "Good son, quickly help Grandpa with the discharge procedures. Just now I heard the nurse who gave me medicine say that staying here for one night costs 300 yuan, which is almost as expensive as staying in a hotel. We can't afford it."

  "Old dad, I've already handled the discharge procedures. Wait a bit and Big Cow will come to pick us up and take us back to the store. You can recover from your injuries at my place for now. There are plenty of people there, so even when I'm not around, someone will be able to look after you."

  "That's great! Little Yu, your uncle has caused us trouble this time." Old Zhang's eyes were a little moist.

  "Hey, Dad, why are we speaking two different languages in one family?"

  "Good! Good! Good! In this life of Old Zhang's, the most meaningful thing he has ever done is to take in this adopted son!"

  The father and son were chatting, when Xiao Yu suddenly discovered that there was an extra person at the door. He took a closer look and found it was none other than Police Officer Feng, with whom he had a few encounters before. His heart skipped a beat as he wondered if what happened last night had been exposed?

  However, Xiao Yu's face remained expressionless as he slowly stood up and asked, "Officer Feng, how did you get here?"

  "Officer Feng?" Old Zhang was taken aback, turned his head around, and found that the person who came was also someone he knew, it was the middle-aged police officer they met when catching thieves that day.

  What is this Officer Feng doing with his own godson? Is it still about the fight with that little hooligan? Didn't you interrogate him yesterday? Why are you interrogating him again? Are the police not done yet?

  Old Zhang scolded Police Officer Feng, "Do you police really have a sense of justice? The little hooligan injured me and you didn't care, but when my adopted son beat up a few hooligans, you kept asking questions back and forth. It seems that there's a saying in society that's true after all: 'The police and the underworld are one family!'"

  Feng Yong did not respond to Old Zhang's pressing questions, but instead looked deeply at Xiao Yu, wanting to see a hint from his eyes, but found nothing.

  "Zhang Xiaoyu, I want to ask you something, do you have time?"

  "Understand the situation? Alright! No problem! You go ahead and say it!" Little Yu replied without any hesitation.

  "Can you go outside with me?" Feng Yong hinted that Old Zhang was here and it wasn't convenient to talk.

  Xiao Yu nodded and was about to walk out, but Lao Zhang grabbed his arm, "If you have something to ask, ask it here, my adopted son isn't going anywhere!"

  Feng Yong looked at Old Zhang and thought he was also a party involved, so it wasn't inappropriate to ask questions here. He walked in, moved a chair to sit down in front of the two men, pulled out a pen and a small notebook from his briefcase, and began taking notes.

  "Zhang Xiaoyu, may I ask where you went after leaving the police station yesterday?"

  "Did you come out from the police station? I went to buy some medicine to treat my injuries, and then ate two boxed lunches on the side of the road, and then came to the hospital." Little Yu replied very briefly.

  "Can anyone prove it?"

  "Yes! The owner of the pharmacy, the owner who sells boxed lunches, and Li Touer who sells fish at the wholesale market, as well as Su Laoban who sells pork, can all testify."

  "Were you here last night?"

  "Yes, I was taking care of my grandfather here until this morning." The little universe contained water vapor, and when he left the hospital, he was very careful not to be seen. Only the taxi driver knew that he had been to Huayuan Road.

  There are so many taxi drivers in Shanghai, how easy is it to find information about oneself? Moreover, the company that driver belongs to is not a big one like "Dazhong" or "Lianhe", but a small and obscure one, and it's very likely that he's working on his own. To think of finding one's whereabouts through this driver lead is simply wishful thinking.

  "Can anyone prove it?"

  Xiao Yu was stunned, and indeed no one could prove they had been here all night.

  "I can prove it!" Old Zhang shouted loudly beside him, "Little Yu was here all night, I, Old Zhang, can prove it."

  Feng Yong smiled slightly and said to Old Zhang, "You two are in a father-son relationship, we can't rule out the suspicion of perjury, your testimony is invalid."

  "Besides Lao Zhang, is there anyone else who can prove that they were here for the whole night?"

  Facing Feng Yong's aggressive questioning, Xiao Yu could only remain silent.

  Just as they were at an impasse, a middle-aged woman's voice came from outside the door, "I can testify that this young man slept here all night."

  Xiao Yu and Feng Yong both looked towards the door, Xiao Yu was overjoyed, this woman was the nurse who had just woken him up.

  "Director Wang, you're here again!" Old Zhang's eyes lit up.

  "Officer, this old man was beaten by thugs and has a fractured leg. He's been in the observation room since yesterday. This young fellow came in this afternoon and has been keeping him company. I'm the one who woke him up this morning. Do you have any other questions?" Nurse Wang replied, her eyes fixed on Feng Yong.

  Xiaoyu didn't expect the head nurse to speak up for her like that, it was quite unexpected. Although it was she who woke her up in the morning, but at night when she made her rounds, shouldn't she have discovered that Xiaoyu wasn't there? Why would the head nurse speak up for her? Xiaoyu found it somewhat inexplicable.

  Feng Yong stood up and walked to Wang Huishou's side, frowning and saying, "Qiu Ying, I'm on official business, what are you doing here causing trouble?"

  Xiao Yu and Old Zhang were both stunned, listening to Officer Feng's tone, they actually knew each other, and their relationship seemed quite close.

  The head nurse, however, was not taken in by Feng Yong's tactics and replied calmly, "Isn't it that you want this young man to find a witness? I was on night shift yesterday evening and have been here all along. And since I'm not related to him, can't I be a witness?"

  Feng Yong was stunned, but he couldn't refute them. He and his wife had a fight a few days ago, and he was afraid that she would make false accusations just to spite him.

  At this moment, Wang Huishou was pulled out of the observation room door by someone and the door was closed. In a low voice, he said to her, "Qiu Ying, last night one of our colleagues in the police station was ambushed outside and seriously injured. This young man named Zhang Xiaoyu is one of the suspects he interrogated yesterday. We can't make false evidence!"

  "Fabricate evidence?" The head nurse's anger flared up, "When the old man was beaten by thugs like this, didn't see any police come to investigate. Now that our police are being beaten, you want to arrest the old man's adopted son? Is there still justice in this world? And my nephew was stabbed with a knife at a bar, what happened? Because the other party is the deputy mayor's son, the case was dropped. You cops are just a bunch of bullies who only pick on the weak!"

  Feng Yong is now having a headache, the other day he and his wife were arguing about her nephew's matter. Can this little head of the criminal investigation team move the deputy mayor's son? Even if he wants to, the bureau won't approve the arrest warrant!

  In this society, there are indeed many helplessness, perhaps just as my wife said, the police can only bully those ordinary people who have no power and influence, but for those officials and wealthy businessmen, they do not have any deterrent force at all.

  As for Zhang Xiaoyu, he still likes him very much, but what happened last night was a big deal, and he had to handle it officially.
