At this time, the police officers who learned that Hu Tao had woken up also came to the hospital.

The police officer was stunned when he saw Hu Jianguo, then saluted solemnly, "Director Hu."

Director Hu? You Jinge and the other four blinked, looking at Hu Tao in surprise, then at Hu Jianguo.

They didn't expect that Hu Tao was the son of an official.

Then he looked at You Jinge and asked with a puzzled look, "Do you know?"

The main reason why Zhen Wei and Zhang Xin risked their lives to find Hu Tao was because of You Jinge.

Ye Jixiang and Ning He are similar. Although they will lend a helping hand to anyone in danger, they have no relationship with Hu Tao. They will not calculate that Hu Tao is in danger for no reason and then risk their lives to save her.

You Jinge shook her head. She and Hu Tao often met in the store, but rarely made plans to go out and play together. They would share their interests, but they would never talk about their family background for no reason, so she really didn't know.

The five people didn't say anything. They stood at the end of the bed and looked at Hu Tao and others.

Hu Jianguo returned the salute, then moved aside to make room for the police and his daughter to ask about what happened.

Hu Tao was talking halfway when Fang Rou in the next bed woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Zhen Wei waving at her and You Jinge and the others looking at her with concern. Although her body was still very tired, her heart was relaxed.

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, it seemed that she was still alive.

I pressed the bedside bell and the nurse came to check on the situation.

Hu Tao and Fang Rou inevitably suffered signs of frostbite, with pigmentation, numbness, tingling, itching, etc. on their skin.

But still alive.

After the police officers finished questioning the two, they provided routine care and then saluted Hu Jianguo and said goodbye.

After confirming that Zhen Wei was not the yellow-haired man who had set his sights on his daughter, Hu Jianguo and his mother Wen Xinyue once again expressed their sincere gratitude to You Jinge and the other four.

Hu Jianguo: "I have to take them both back for a thorough checkup. When this is over, I will bring them both to thank you."

Medical care in this small county is limited, and two girls in their prime cannot suffer any sequelae in their health.

You Jinge and others nodded.

"It's almost the New Year, so let's go back first."

Maybe I can even make it in time for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Of course, Zhang Xin and Zhen Wei were also beaten by their families.

Hu Jianguo quickly said: "Wait a minute, I'll have someone take you back."

In his eyes, You Jinge and the others were still not steady enough, and he was a little worried that something might happen to them when they returned.

Zhen Wei patted his chest and said, "Uncle, I'm so tall and strong, who would attack me?"

Hu Jianguo waved his hand: "You are wrong to think so. Men are facing many dangers nowadays. Wait, I will call someone."

Having said that, he turned and left the ward.

About ten minutes later, he walked in and waved to a few people, "I'll take you back."

Hu's mother also stood up and followed.

We were taken all the way to a minibus in front of the hospital entrance.

Two handsome and steady men got off the bus and shouted to Hu Jianguo and his wife, "Third Uncle, Third Aunt."

Hu Jianguo introduced You Jinge and the other four to the two men, and then instructed his two nephews, "Remember to send them home safely."

"Yes."

Hu's mother took out another red envelope from her pocket and asked You Jinge and the other four to accept it in the name of New Year's money.

You Jinge and the other four didn't want it, but they were no match for Hu's mother. With Hu Jianguo and his two nephews assisting them, the five of them seemed so helpless in refusing. Seeing how helpless the five of them were, Hu's mother burst out laughing.

Mother Hu: "Come to our house often and I will make delicious food for you."

You Jinge and the other four nodded repeatedly, but they couldn't guarantee when they would go. They were too afraid of such enthusiastic adults.

The red envelopes had all been received, and there was no need to delay getting the New Year gifts. The back seat of Ye Jixiang's van was soon filled with New Year goods.

As the back seat of the van had been dismantled and modified, Hu Jianguo naturally criticized it for being dangerous to drive.

Hu Jianguo's two nephews turned their backs to him and grinned at You Jinge and the others with a look of gloating, their originally steady temperaments completely gone.

You Jin Ge and the other five: "..."

The two nephews obviously didn't want to listen to their uncle's nagging. One of them quickly got into the driver's seat of the van and said to Ye Jixiang and Ning He, "Hurry up and get in the car. It will be hard to drive on the road if it snows."

Ye Jixiang and Ning He quickly said goodbye to Hu Jianguo and his wife and got into the car quickly.

The car started and drove away in a flash, just like running away.

Hu Jianguo turned to look at You Jinge and the other two, as if he wanted to say something.

Another older nephew quickly got on the driver's seat of the bus, leaned over and said to You Jinge and the other two, "Let's go. I'll take you home."

The three of them hurriedly got into the car.

Hu Jianguo smacked his lips as he watched the bus go by: "..."

He still has something to say.

If you say you will send me home, you will be sent home.

At the foot of the mountain, Hu Jianguo's nephew delivered the New Year's goods in the car one by one to the white-walled and gray-tiled courtyard halfway up the mountain, and then asked the villagers to take him back to the hospital.

You Jinge and the other two did the same, carrying large and small bags onto the high-speed train, and then were sent to their doorsteps one by one.

Zhang Xin and Zhen Wei clasped their hands together and begged their nephew Hu Jianguo not to tell their families what he had done, at least not before school started, otherwise the feather duster at home would break on them.

Hu Tao and Fang Rou in the hospital could not escape a scolding either. They were given face when there were many people around, but they were naturally scolded when there was no one around.

After Hu Jianguo and his wife and the doctor confirmed that the two were not seriously ill, they scolded them harshly. If they had not been lying in bed, they might have been slapped.

.........

You Jinge returned to the rented house carrying gift bags of various sizes, sat down on the sofa, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

“Knock, knock, knock—” There was a knock on the door, and Pan Lili’s voice rang out at the door, “Sister Jin Ge.”

You Jinge let out a long sigh, stood up, opened the door, and looked down at Pan Lili, "?"

Pan Lili: "Auntie Peng and I just saw you coming back from the balcony. Auntie Peng said today is New Year's Eve, so she asked me to ask you if you want to celebrate the New Year together."

You Jinge smiled and said, "Yes, I'll wash up and go upstairs later."

"Yeah." Pan Lili nodded happily, "Sister Jin Ge, hurry up, Aunt Peng fried some meatballs, they're just out of the pan, they're delicious."

After saying that, he jumped away.

You Jinge smiled, closed the door, and simply packed up the things in the room. After washing up, she carried the New Year's goods prepared by Hu Jianguo to the rented house of Peng Shuijuan and Pan Lili.

As soon as I entered the door, I smelled the aroma of meat.

Peng Shuijuan, who was frying meatballs, looked over from the kitchen and asked, "Are you okay?"

Walnut put the gift on the table, rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen, "It feels good."

Seeing that Hu Tao and Fang Rou were still alive, she felt strangely satisfied. When she saw them smiling at her, at that moment, Sun Zhipeng and Qiao Yixuan, and all the hatred, seemed to no longer be so important.

"What about you?" You Jinge asked back.

There were often reports in their city that citizens would seek death when they went out, but she knew in her heart that it was Peng Shuijuan who did it.

And those people are not innocent either.

"I often see you coming home late." You Jinge said calmly, "You should be more restrained recently and don't go out."

Peng Shuijuan turned her head to look at her in confusion. They never talked about this topic before, so why were they suddenly talking about it?

You Jinge didn't want to think about it either. "I went out this time to save Hu Tao, but I found out that she is the son of an official. Her father is the director of a bureau, the kind that the police would salute when they see her. I guess she is from the public security system. And her two cousins ​​seem to be from the army too."

You Jinge: "Although they seem to be easy to get along with and are very grateful to us, who knows if they are suspicious and will investigate me carefully in private."

Hu Tao sent her the rescue address, which means that she has not completely forgotten the previous time she was rescued. If she let something slip, her father might become suspicious and find out and associate something with it.

You Jinge: "Besides the people from my hometown, the only people I know well are you and the two bosses in the store."

Peng Shuijuan was speechless after hearing this, "Is this what you said? It feels good?"

If you’re not careful, your water meter will be checked!

You Jinge snorted and laughed, "When you dealt with those people, didn't you feel satisfied because you had vented your anger and done a good thing?"

Peng Shuijuan's expression became subtle. She didn't answer, but Pan Lili, who was listening nearby, answered, "Yes."

Pan Lili puffed out her chest and said: "Some classmates in our class were asked to pay protection fees by people from other schools. I beat those people away. When I heard my classmates thank me, I felt very happy!"

You Jinge gave a thumbs up and praised, "Great."

She looked at Peng Shuijuan, then at Pan Lili, and felt emotional.

They were all shrouded in darkness, but darkness became the cornerstone of their growth.

“I thought I was going to grow crooked, but it seems I didn’t.”
