Tong Ren originally planned to escort Gu Nan home personally, but Gu Nan shook his head firmly and refused, because he knew that if he did so, it would probably scare Ran Qiuye.

After all, he was injured now. If he was sent back by the Public Security Bureau, Ran Qiuye would not know what had happened.

By then, Ran Qiuye will definitely have all kinds of thoughts, which would be really bad. Gu Nan would never allow such a thing to happen.

At this moment, the most anxious person was none other than Zhao Jian. He never expected that the extremely hateful Lu Yan was so incompetent that he couldn't even kill a person who had no power to fight back! Zhao Jian's mind was full of only one thing at the moment - how to put Lu Yan to death. After all, although Lu Yan could barely hold on for a day, no one could guarantee that the situation would not change as time went on.

However, what Zhao Jian didn't know was that although Tong Ren had not yet taken action to arrest him, he had actually already secretly sent people to follow him quietly, closely monitoring his every move, trying to figure out what he was up to.

As for why Tong Ren didn't arrest him immediately, it was because Zhao Jian had someone above him. If he arrested Zhao Jian without evidence, he would have to let him go later.

As night fell, Gu Nan rode his old bicycle back home alone. The street lamps on both sides of the road emitted dim light, and the surroundings were quiet, which seemed particularly eerie. When he returned home, the night was as dark as ink. Originally, Gu Nan did not want to disturb Ran Qiuye who was sleeping soundly, but he did not expect that even if he was careful, he would accidentally wake her up in the end.

Ran Qiuye slowly opened her eyes sleepily, and her eyes happened to fall on Gu Nan who had just entered the room. In an instant, she was so frightened that she suddenly sat up straight, staring at Gu Nan with wide eyes in horror. Gu Nan was covered in blood and his clothes were tattered, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death battle.

Ran Qiuye's heartbeat quickened rapidly, and her breathing became rapid. Without time to think, she jumped up from the bed, rushed to Gu Nan, grabbed his arm tightly, and asked in a trembling voice: "Gu Nan, are you...are you okay? What happened?"

Gu Nan smiled and looked at Ran Qiuye: "When I was riding my bike back, I didn't see the ditch, and I fell into the ditch while riding my bike, so nothing happened."

Ran Qiuye naturally didn't believe it, but Gu Nan asked Ran Qiuye to take a look. The arm that was hit by the bullet now only had external injuries. "Look, I'm fine. Okay, I'll wash myself and change clothes and then tell you."

Although Ran Qiuye was very worried, she didn't say anything. After all, Gu Nan looked very scary. Ran Qiuye must take a good look at Gu Nan to see if he was injured anywhere else.

Gu Nan briefly explained it to Ran Qiuye. In fact, Gu Nan couldn’t believe it. His injuries were almost healed, so he went to rest.

Gu Nan knew that Uncle Tong would investigate the matter thoroughly. In the Public Security Bureau, Tong Ren looked at Lu Yan and said, "Lu Yan, tell me, why did you want to kill Gu Nan? Who ordered you to do that?"

Lu Yan was still thinking that someone could rescue him, so he didn't say a word.

Tong Ren was not just interrogating an ordinary criminal. He seemed particularly calm and composed towards the stubborn Lu Yan in front of him, without any sign of anxiety.

He stared at Lu Yan quietly, as if he could see through the secrets hidden deep in his heart. When he was sure that Lu Yan would never easily reveal the truth, Tong Ren raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and said softly: "It doesn't matter, you will cooperate with me obediently after all."

Lu Yan was actually very scared, but he knew that he had to hold on, because Zhao Jian would definitely come to rescue him when the time came.

As for why he wanted to kill Gu Nan, Lu Yan's explanation was that it was to steal some money, and there was no other reason.

The children didn't even believe such words, let alone the experienced director. The director just nodded and didn't say anything else. As for whether Lu Yan would confess, the director didn't seem to be in a hurry.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Ren turned around and walked out of the room. Standing outside the door, he glanced at the people around him with a cold gaze, and gave orders in a serious tone: "Listen to me! Immediately detain this person in a separate ward. Without my permission, no one is allowed to visit him. Remember, not even a fly can fly in!"

The subordinates were naturally aware of the interests involved, and they all nodded in agreement, indicating that they would strictly carry out the orders.

However, Tong Ren did not leave. After thinking for a while, he beckoned his most trusted confidant and said in a low voice, "Wait a minute, do something for me. Remember, this matter must not be known to a third person, understand?"

The confidant nodded quickly. Although he was confused about the purpose of what Tong Ren had told him to do, he knew that he only needed to do it without asking too many questions about the reasons. After receiving the order, the confidant hurriedly left and set out to complete this mysterious task.

The night passed in a flash, and at dawn, the morning light shone through the window onto the bed. Ran Qiuye arrived at the hospital early, looking worriedly at Gu Nan lying on the bed, and asked with concern: "Gu Nan, in my opinion, you should take a day off today. Looking at your injuries, it's really heartbreaking."

Gu Nan knew that Ran Qiuye was worried about him, so he smiled and showed his arm. There was indeed a wound on it, but it would not hinder Gu Nan's actions.

Gu Nan looked at Ran Qiuye: "Qiuye, today is a big day, how can I not go? I'd better take you to work first."

Gu Nan looked at the bicycle. It was badly damaged. Gu Nan didn't expect that the bicycle was in such good condition at this time. It was still intact.

Gu Nan took Ran Qiuye to work. Qin Huairu happened to see Gu Nan taking Ran Qiuye to work when she went out: "Be careful, don't fall off the bicycle. What the hell is this? Why does Gu Nan always get all the good things?"

Qin Huairu really couldn't understand why she worked so hard and went to the steel mill every day, but now she was only a first-level fitter, while Gu Nan was an eighth-level fitter. This was not fair.

If Yi Zhonghai were here, he would definitely slap Qin Huairu. At least Gu Nan learned something, unlike you who just went to the steel mill to get by. It was Yi Zhonghai who asked someone to help him get the first-level fitter title.
