Chapter 1419: Chapter 1418: You Still Have Me

Qiao Chenyi nodded in praise and said, "If that’s the case, it can indeed protect Du Wanyu’s safety to the greatest extent. Once the approval is passed, I’ll send over some special Academy trainees, disguised as doctors, to handle any emergencies. This way, Du Wanyu’s safety is absolutely assured."

Everything was settled, and there were no conflicting issues.

Ning Fanwei finally felt a bit relieved and said, "Okay, since everything is already decided, let’s proceed with this plan. I’ll return to the bureau now to apply for special approval."

After all, as a deputy bureau, it’s not too problematic for him to handle things. It’s a matter of following procedures, only a bit of time-consuming paperwork. However, now that both sides agree, it’s probably just a matter of stamping the approval.

Qiao Chenyi chuckled silently and said, "You brat, you’ve got me all figured out, thinking of ways to outsmart us."

Ning Fanwei didn’t deny it. He thumped his chest twice and said, "Ha-ha, we’re brothers, this is what we should do."

Qiao Chenyi: "..." Yeah, right.

Li Yan: "..." Who would’ve thought that the genius Qiao would become good friends with someone like this?

Gu Tong: "..." Clearly, Chenyi is completely under his thumb.

...

The short meeting was over, and they had already discussed all matters. The only thing left was implementation.

Qiao Chenyi was the first to return to the Academy to handle follow-up arrangements and persuade his superiors.

Meanwhile, Li Yan accompanied Gu Tong to the glass window of the intensive care unit.

Through the glass window, they could see Du Wanyu lying on the hospital bed, tubes inserted all over her body, wearing an oxygen mask, struggling to breathe.

Du Wanyu constantly furrowed her brows, her face pale and showing a painful expression.

After all, at this time, the anesthesia should have worn off long ago. Even though Du Wanyu was in a coma, she could still feel the conveyed pain, which was undoubtedly a torment.

Li Yan held Gu Tong’s shoulder and calmly said, "Do you want to take care of her here?"

He didn’t know what the little woman was thinking, only guessing her thoughts.

Gu Tong pursed her lips, shook her head, and said, "No, I just want to see her..."

To see how similar Du Wanyu was to her past self, once upon a time, Gu Tong was also lying on a hospital bed, barely alive. Both harbored deep grudges but were unable to personally avenge themselves. That kind of agony is indescribable to outsiders.

Li Yan paused and said, "I know, it’s hard."

Watching helplessly as the person you saved suffers severe injuries, yet being powerless, is indeed difficult.

Gu Tong’s red lips moved slightly, showing a bitter smile, and said, "We are humans, not gods. Many things are beyond our power. Actually, seeing Du Wanyu is a wake-up call for me. To survive in this cruel world, one must have equivalent strength."

Li Yan furrowed his brow, looking at the serious expression on the little woman’s face, only to feel a skipped heartbeat followed by a wave of heartache.

He subconsciously wanted to tell her, ’You’re wrong.’

However, Li Yan couldn’t deceive his true feelings, because he deeply believed in Gu Tong’s words.

Li Yan tightened his hold on her shoulder, wishing to give all his warmth to her, and said, "She was unfortunate to meet the wrong people who ultimately harmed her, but you are luckier. You have a family who loves you, and you have me."
