Chapter 370: Best Friends Are Not Recognizable Across the Street
Following Gu Nankai's voice, everyone's eyes fell on him. Wu Qingluan licked her lips and asked him seriously, "Did you see clearly? Are you sure it's him?"
Gu Nankai nodded solemnly: "There are traces of healed gunshot wounds on his head, and the location is basically the same as what I saw at the beginning. I can be sure of it."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at his ward, then turned around and said, "I didn't expect that. The most likely possibility is that the bullet was slightly off target, which saved his life. But after being in the water for so long..."
He seemed to have explained to them the circumstances of Zhao Zhengrong's murder through his few words. Wu Qingluan was happy for him from the bottom of her heart as she saw the excitement and joy on his face that he couldn't hide. Perhaps she was just overthinking it.
"The doctor said that in his case, amnesia is certain, but he doesn't know when the memories he has now will be from. So you have to be prepared."
After thinking about it, Wu Qingluan told Gu Nankai the bad news. Gu Nankai nodded. At this moment, he seemed very happy, as if as long as Zhao Zhengrong was alive, no matter what happened to him, as long as he was alive, it was enough for Gu Nankai.
"I know this, but now there is something we must know..."
At this moment, Gu Nankai finally came out of his previous unstable mood and regained his rationality and composure when investigating cases. Looking at the puzzled eyes of Wu Qingluan and the others, he said, "We can't let too many people know that Zhao Zhengrong is still alive. After all, in everyone's eyes, he is a dead person. At the beginning... at the beginning, for him and his family, my brother and I took a lot of effort to give him the status of a martyr. Now..."
He suddenly felt that the matter was a bit difficult. Zhao Zhengrong's child was in junior high school when the family suffered such a sudden change. The old people all collapsed at once, leaving only Zhao Zhengrong's wife Wang Lan to support the family. At that time, he couldn't bear to see that the originally happy and hopeful family suddenly fell into such a state. Did he really want his children, his wife, and his parents to live with the reputation of him committing suicide out of fear of crime for the rest of their lives?
How can...
Zhao Zhengrong's eldest son, Zhao Xiaowei, is a very smart child. He has always taken his father as his role model. His dream is to become a glorious people's policeman like his father. When Zhao Zhengrong was involved in a money laundering case, the child was surprised but still stood firmly by his father. Because of this rumor, he and his sister were often bullied at school, but he endured it all alone.
Zhao Xiaowei is the hope of the Zhao family and the family's lifelong expectation. Even though Gu Nankai could not be sure of the reason why Zhao Zhengrong finally chose to commit suicide, he still fought for the status of a martyr for him. In addition to believing from the bottom of his heart that Zhao Zhengrong did not betray the party and the country, there is another point that he did not want to see such a big family fall down because of Zhao Zhengrong's departure.
Although Wu Qingluan and the others didn't know the twists and turns involved, they knew that Zhao Zhengrong had been named a martyr. Of course, this matter couldn't be told to the higher-ups now. They looked at Gu Nankai, and Gao Yuan said, "Boss, let's do this first. I think Brother Zhao needs to rest now. I'll arrange a place for him to recuperate first. If our family wants to hide someone , we can still do it. The old man is very open-minded now, and I support everything he does."
After Gao Yuan finished speaking, Gu Nankai patted his shoulder with gratitude in his eyes: "Gao Yuan, thank you."
"Hey, why are we discussing this between brothers? Besides, it's not like we haven't heard about what happened to Senior Brother Zhao back then. He deserves that title. As long as we find out the truth, I don't think anyone will think that his return is not a happy thing. But now is a special period, so we'd better be cautious, for the sake of the investigation and for his safety."
Gao Yuan's words were obscure but reasonable, and no one refuted them.
"When he wakes up, we can transfer him to another hospital. Perhaps sending him to the hospital for further treatment is a better solution." Gu Nankai said again, and Gao Yuan immediately said, "I can arrange for the best sanatorium. This is not a problem."
Gu Nankai smiled at him, and for once he was in the mood to tease him, "It's really good to have a rich second-generation brother. Gao Yuan, can you support me in the future?"
Gao Yuan burst out laughing, and even the others laughed along with him because of Gu Nankai's sudden relaxation. Gao Yuan chuckled and said, "Then after you retire, you can all help out in my dad's company, either for free or to pay off debts. What do you think?"
Li Meng scratched his head cheerfully: "I think it's okay."
"What the hell!" Shang Lu punched him lightly, and everyone laughed. Not long after they finished speaking, a nurse suddenly came out to greet everyone: "Zhao Zhengrong has woken up, and only one person can go in. You guys discuss it, and you must come out immediately when the time is up."
Almost without thinking, Gu Nankai rushed over quickly and said to the nurse anxiously: "Nurse, I know I will come out at the specified time. Can I go in now?"
His eagerness startled the nurse. She looked at him strangely, then looked at Wu Qingluan and the others not far behind him, and then nodded blankly: "Okay...you...go in."
Gu Nankai was very excited when he received the order. Wu Qingluan and the others even saw that his hand on the door handle was trembling slightly when he opened the door. Then he went in quickly, and a door separated him and them.
After Gu Nankai entered, Wu Qingluan looked at Gao Yuan and asked the question in her mind: "Gao Yuan, you just took over the matter of Zhao Zhengrong going back, do you have any other intentions?"
Gao Yuan was stunned and looked at everyone's eyes. Shang Lu and Li Meng's eyes were full of curiosity, but Wu Qingluan and Cao Cang seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He quickly smiled and said, "Look, you all saw it, but the boss couldn't. You can imagine how good his relationship with Brother Zhao is. He doesn't have any thoughts at all now. I always feel that the time when Zhao Zhengrong woke up is too strange. It's always easier to observe him if you keep him by your side."
"Good boy, you have thought so deeply about this."
After he finished speaking, Cao Cang patted him on the shoulder with deep appreciation and recognition in his eyes. Wu Qingluan also looked at . Soon Wu Qingluan added: "We must not let Gu Nankai know our intentions. He is now focused on Zhao Zhengrong's condition. If he knew that we had such thoughts, he would definitely be angry. We must not let him know until we find out anything, otherwise..."
Wu Qingluan paused before saying, "Otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to accept this blow."
Everyone nodded in tacit understanding. Three minutes later, Gu Nankai came out of Zhao Shengrong's ward, but everyone could clearly see that there was some dejection and sadness in his eyes.
This means that the situation is not as good as they imagined.
"What's the situation?" No one dared to ask, so they could only push Wu Qingluan forward. Wu Qingluan, who was forced to do something, was pushed to Gu Nankai's side and could only ask with gritted teeth.
Gu Nankai looked up at Wu Qingluan at this moment, and suddenly he felt sad when he remembered the strange look in Zhao Zhengrong's eyes when he was in the ward just now. He looked at Wu Qingluan and said in a soft and sad voice: "He doesn't remember me..."
He doesn't remember me. These few simple words seemed to have pierced Gu Nankai's heart. They were once such close friends, but now they don't recognize each other. Even though he was prepared, he still couldn't accept it.
