Chapter 368 Zhao Zhengrong is not dead

When Wu Qingluan and Gao Yuan ran over, Gu Nankai was completely silent and no one knew what he was thinking. Everyone looked at him at a loss, but he was not aware of anything. Or rather, his attention was not on everyone, but on the content of the phone call that had just occurred to him.
"Hello, we have a patient here named Zhao Shengrong."
"Would it be convenient for you to come over?"
"The patient is in an unstable condition right now. You are the only one we can contact."
In just three sentences, the usually calm Gu Nankai lost all ability to think. At that moment, he felt the blood in his body flowing backwards.
"Teacher Wu, what's the situation now?"
Seeing Gu Nankai like this, everyone was at a loss. Cao Cang's face was full of worry. Finally, he shifted his gaze to Wu Qingluan and asked.
Wu Qingluan also frowned. Just what she had heard did not seem enough to surprise people to this extent, but she believed that what Gu Nankai had heard and his current reaction had already proved the authenticity of the matter.
"Let me ask you what happened."
After a brief silence, Wu Qingluan spoke up and said that she had not yet told everyone that Zhao Shengrong might still be alive. After all, no one had seen him yet, and there was no need to say it out loud and cause everyone to feel uneasy. It would be safer to ask Gu Nankai first and then make plans.
After he finished speaking, everyone nodded silently. At this time, Gu Nankai was the only one left in the car. The others had already gotten off. Wu Qingluan got back on the car after she finished speaking. Gao Yuan, Cao Cang and the others found a place and sat down, but their eyes were still full of worry and they looked in the direction of Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan from time to time.
After Wu Qingluan got in the car, Gu Nankai remained calm in his own world. She sighed silently, then sat next to him, looked at him twice, and then spoke softly, "Is it because of that phone call? About Zhao Zhengrong?"
Hearing Zhao Zhengrong's name, Gu Nankai suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Wu Qingluan. At that moment, Wu Qingluan's heart suddenly ached, because she clearly saw the helplessness and panic in Gu Nankai's eyes when he looked at her at that moment.
His eyes were fixed on Wu Qingluan, more gentle than ever before. Wu Qingluan also looked at him but did not speak until Gu Nankai said in a trembling voice: "They said that Zhao Shengrong is still alive, but... but how is it possible? I saw him shoot himself with my own eyes, how is it possible... how is it possible that he is still alive..."
Wu Qingluan didn't say anything, but just looked at him with concern. Gu Nankai didn't seem to expect her to answer him, and continued to talk to himself: "But... the moment I heard that he was still alive, I really... I admit that I was really a little excited. He is still alive. It's such a good thing to be alive. As long as he is alive, I have been thinking too many times over the years, if he were still alive..."
"But I, but I can't believe it, I'm afraid this is a joke..."
Wu Qingluan had never seen Gu Nankai so panicked. He clearly wanted to know the truth but was afraid to take a step closer. She knew that Gu Nankai was afraid. He was afraid that this sudden call might be a joke. He was extremely excited about the news, but if it was false, it would be another blow to him. It would be better to say that this incident never happened.
" They have already told us the place. Let's go over and take a look to see if it's true or not. I know you are afraid that this thing is fake, but you have to see it with your own eyes to be sure. Let's go and take a look. No matter what, we will give ourselves an answer." Wu Qingluan looked at him and spoke slowly with a gentle gaze.
After hearing what Wu Qingluan said, Gu Nankai stared at him. Gu Nankai, who was always calm and steady, actually showed a hint of childish hesitation in his eyes when he stared at Wu Qingluan. Wu Qingluan held his hand without even thinking: "Let's go and have a look. No matter what the result is, we can accept it, and..."
She hesitated for a moment: "Have you ever thought that these two people who have been dead for three years have recently..."
"Stop talking."
Wu Qingluan had just started talking when she was interrupted hastily by Gu Nankai in a firm tone. He did not want to hear the second half of Wu Qingluan's sentence. Wu Qingluan paused and sighed silently in his heart. He knew that he was unwilling to believe it and would not believe it. His feelings for those two people did not allow him to doubt them at this moment.
But in this matter, everyone except Gu Nankai noticed a strange coincidence.
Wu Qingluan knew that Gu Nankai was carrying too much on his mind at the moment, so she did not continue the topic with him. Instead, she said, "Didn't you say that he is in Yi County? Let's go take a look now. No matter what the matter is, we can always help."
Gu Nankai fell into a brief silence again, and then nodded solemnly. Wu Qingluan was delighted and quickly said, "Then let Gao Yuan and the others know, and we'll go over right away."
Gu Nankai didn't say anything, but he also agreed. Wu Qingluan got out of the car quickly. Seeing her get off, Gao Yuan and the others immediately came over.
"Teacher Wu, what's going on? The boss has never been like this before. Could it be that woman again..." Gao Yuan spoke immediately after he came over. He thought of how Gu Nankai could remain calm in all matters, but would lose his composure when it came to what happened three years ago. Seeing him like this, Gao Yuan naturally thought that this matter might be related to Zhang Qingqing.
He did guess right, but at this moment Wu Qingluan still smiled bitterly and said, "You only guessed half right. This time it's not Zhang Qingqing, but Zhao Zhengrong."
At first, no one understood what Wu Qingluan said. Soon, Wu Qingluan continued, "Gu Nankai received a call just now. The person on the other end of the phone said that they have a patient named Zhao Zhengrong and they hope Gu Nankai can come over. This means... Zhao Zhengrong is very likely still alive."
Everyone was shocked, not knowing what to say as they stared at Wu Qingluan, until Li Meng said in a daze: "Fuck you, this is not right!"
Wu Qingluan smiled bitterly. Li Meng was able to notice that there was something fishy at the first moment, but Gu Nankai was unwilling to believe it.
"He doesn't seem to want to believe that there's anything wrong here. Let's go over and take a look at the situation. We know his relationship with these two people, and he won't listen to anything we say now."
Wu Qingluan said something at the end, although it was said obscurely, but it was also telling everyone that Gu Nankai was more tolerant than everyone imagined when he encountered these two people. His calmness and self-control were completely useless in front of these two people. It was completely useless for everyone to say so much to him at this juncture.
Everyone naturally understood what Wu Qingluan meant. Cao Cang said calmly, "We know what to do. We just need to be more careful. Otherwise, we will have a rift with the boss. After all, we agreed to investigate with him. It will be difficult for the boss to get entangled in the identities of these two people."
What Cao Cang said was right. After everyone nodded, Wu Qingluan asked everyone to go to their next destination, Yi County.
Gu Nankai didn't say a word along the way, but everyone could tell from his occasional twisting of his body that he must be very excited about their trip. Wu Qingluan looked at him with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes, but then she wondered if she was too stingy.
Because she was thinking, if Zhao Zhengrong was like this, what about Zhang Qingqing? What would Gu Nankai do when he and Zhang Qingqing met face to face?
