Rebirth of Brotherly Love

At ten o'clock in the evening, the corridor of the hospital.

A tall man came from the end of the corridor and stopped in front of the door of the ICU intensive care unit.

He looked tired, and his body was no longer as straight as before when he sat in the chair next to the hallway.He leaned stiffly against the wall, but kept his eyes fixed on the direction of the ward.

In the intensive care unit, the whole body of the people on the hospital bed was tightly wrapped, and all kinds of infusion tubes were inserted into their bodies, as if they might leave this world at any time.

"Brother..." The voice in his throat sounded strangely hoarse, his deep eyes were bloodshot due to the exhaustion all day, "you will be fine, I believe you can survive... ..."

Anze originally thought that after going through the thrilling last time, he was strong enough, and he could calmly say on the phone like last time: "You think I should sit at the door of the intensive care unit like a fool Do you want to be in a daze with the words Declined to visit?"

But now, he was indeed sitting at the door of the intensive care unit like a fool, staring in a daze at the words declined to visit.

He didn't want to leave at all, let alone dared to leave.He was afraid that something would happen to An Luo as soon as he turned around; he was afraid that as soon as he left, he would never see that person again.

It turns out that it is so easy to say calm words, but it is too difficult to actually do it.

The last time I was able to restrain myself from flying to the hospital to see him, it was only because there was an urgent mission to be carried out. As a soldier, he must obey the orders of his superiors unconditionally. He must put the mission first, so he was able to call Zhou After Taiping confirmed that his brother had been rescued, he quickly collected his mood and concentrated on carrying out the mission with his comrades.

But this time is different.

Watching his brother lying in the distance, he wanted to rush over to hug him, but was suddenly separated by the chaotic crowd, only a distance of more than ten meters, but became out of reach, calling his brother's name hoarsely, he But there was no reaction.

At that moment, Anze even felt that his heart stopped beating.

Otherwise, what is the suffocating pain in the chest?

Ambulance, hospital, police interrogation, noisy voices in my ears...

During the chaotic morning, Anze didn't even know how he spent it. He played back the picture of his brother falling in front of him again and again in his mind. Anze really wanted to jump in front of him to protect him from all the injuries, but in the end, But he could only watch helplessly as he was carried away by the ambulance.

Strong remorse and self-blame almost drowned Anze completely.

At this moment, in the dead of night, he finally calmed down, and then dragged his tired body back to the door of the ward and sat alone.If this is the most difficult moment for his brother, Anze just thought, silently accompany him outside the door.

Just be with him.

***

I don't know how long it took before the phone in his pocket rang suddenly. Anze looked at the caller ID and saw that it was his mother calling. The time on the phone showed 11:30. Before he knew it, he sat here for an entire hour .

When Anze picked up the phone, Zhou Bizhen's calm voice came from next to his ear: "Anze, where are you?"

Anze said, "I'm in the hospital."

Zhou Bizhen frowned, "The doctor said that your brother's life is not in danger, and the intensive care unit can't get in. What are you still doing in the hospital? Come home."

An Ze said: "It's okay, I'll stay in the hospital tonight, in case something happens to my brother and he needs surgery in the middle of the night, I can deal with it in time here."

"Anze..."

"Mom, go to bed early, don't worry about me." Anze's voice was undeniably stubborn.

Zhou Bizhen was silent for a moment, then hung up the phone.

After a while, Zhou Chengping, who was wearing a white coat, walked over hurriedly.

Seeing him, Anze asked in confusion, "Taiping? What are you doing here?"

Zhou Chengping said helplessly: "My aunt called me just now and said that you are still in the hospital and haven't even eaten dinner. I happen to have the supper I bought just now. Let's go and eat some together."

Anze shook his head, "I have no appetite."

Zhou Chengping glanced at him, then looked back at the ward, and said, "Don't worry, An Luo's life is no longer in danger, it's useless for you to stay here, come and eat with me, don't starve."

An Ze stood up from the chair, walked to the window and looked in. In the ward separated by curtains, there was a person lying on the bed, connected to the wires of various monitors, and only a vague silhouette could be seen through the window. .

Anze asked in a low voice, "Can I go in and see him?"

Zhou Chengping shook his head: "No, the intensive care unit refuses to visit him. He is not in good health now, and if he gets infected, it will only get worse."

Anze frowned lightly, "I've been recuperating him according to the recipes given by the nutritionist during this time, his health is already much better, logically speaking, it shouldn't be worse than last time..." After a slight pause, he said in doubt, " Where did the bullet hit?"

Zhou Chengping said: "I didn't do the surgery, and I don't know. It probably hurt vital organs like the heart and lungs. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent it to the ICU."

Anze said, "Find me a sterile gown, and I'll put it on and go in to see him."

Zhou Chengping hurriedly said, "No."

Anze asked: "Why not? Last time he was hospitalized, didn't his father also wear a sterile gown to see him?"

Zhou Chengping was silent for a moment before he said: "This time is different. This time it was an order from the police. This afternoon, the team leader of the special case team came to greet the hospital leaders in person. It is inevitable that someone will take the opportunity to assassinate your brother. Your brother is in the hospital. Li must receive key protection, and no one other than the doctor in charge is allowed to visit, even family members."

An Ze still had some doubts in his heart, but was forcibly pulled away by Zhou Chengping, "Let's go, let's go eat."

***

It happened that Zhou Chengping was on the night shift that day, and it was already 11:30. The patients in the emergency department ward were all asleep, and the light was very dim. An Ze and Zhou Chengping walked through the ward to the duty room together. There are two takeaways on the table.

Zhou Chengping removed the magazines on the sofa and said, "Sit down, my place is a bit messy."

Anze looked around, nodded and said, "Well, it's very messy."

Zhou Chengping glanced at him helplessly, "You and An Yan really are two extremes, one is glib and can say that the dead are alive, while the other is serious and serious, and never knows how to say good things to make people happy, so I say , women chasing An Yan can form a long queue, and you are still single up to now."

Anze interrupted him: "I'm hungry."

Zhou Chengping pushed the takeaway in front of him, "Eat it, beef rice for [-] yuan, fill your stomach first, and then go to eat supper by yourself when you are hungry. There is a porridge shop in front of the hospital, open all night."

Anze nodded, took the disposable chopsticks, opened the lunch box and started eating.

Since his brother had an accident at the banquet in the morning, Anze hadn't eaten all day, and he was indeed hungry at night, so he quickly settled for a boxed lunch.It's just because I'm in a bad mood that I can't taste anything in my mouth.

Zhou Chengping also finished his lunch box, took it out and threw it into the trash can, then turned around and said, "Anze, you should go back, your mother is very worried about you, and she called me so late to ask me to buy it for you. food."

Anze shook his head, "No, I will stay in the hospital tonight."

Zhou Chengping scratched his head: "But, there is no place for you to sleep in the hospital...how about you sleep in my duty room?"

An Ze said: "No need, I can't sleep even if I have a bed."

Zhou Chengping was stunned, and sighed softly, "An Luo is also full of disasters. He has been in constant trouble since he was a child. He was in a car accident, kidnapped, and lost his memory. He was shot again today. He really can't kill him. Same as Xiaoqiang."

Anze frowned, "Don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Chengping smiled, "I'm right. Although accidents happen all the time, he manages to turn bad luck into good luck every time. Don't worry, it's the same this time. He will get through it."

Anze was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "What do you think about the fact that he was assassinated today?"

Zhou Chengping thought for a while and said, "The police are investigating, so don't they say there are no clues yet? Do you have any opinion?"

Anze said in a low voice: "I don't think it's that simple. The people who came to the banquet today, apart from An's relatives and friends, were the popular stars of the entertainment company. Grandpa was worried about something going wrong, so he sent people to strictly check at the door. A fly If you can’t even fly in, why would someone sneak in with a gun?”

Zhou Chengping rubbed his chin, nodded thoughtfully, "That's right."

An Ze's gaze gradually became deeper, "So there can only be one explanation, that is, there is an inner ghost in the An family, and someone secretly assisted, allowing the killer to lurk in smoothly."

Zhou Chengping was shocked and said, "The ghost? How is this possible?"

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, Zhou Chengping took out his mobile phone, looked at the caller ID, went outside and answered the phone, "Hello, brother, can I help you?...Professor Lin from the psychiatric department of our hospital?... ...I don't know anyone in the psychiatric department, wait a minute, I'll check your address book for you..."

Zhou Chengping's footsteps gradually receded, Anze watched his back disappear at the end of the corridor, then turned around and went to the computer desk and moved the mouse.

The screen lit up, and what popped up on the desktop happened to be the hospital's medical record management system.Anze entered An Luo's name in the search box, and sure enough, he found a newest medical record.

Admission time, June 6 at 17:11 am, receiving doctor: Zhou Chengping.

"I didn't do the surgery, and I don't know..." "Probably because it hurt key organs like the heart and lungs, otherwise they wouldn't have been sent to the ICU..." Recalling Zhou Chengping's words just now, Anze couldn't help but frowned slightly. I frowned.

Since Zhou Chengping is An Luo's receiving doctor, that is to say, he knew about the attack that happened today when An Luo was admitted to the hospital. He should be very concerned about An Luo's condition, how could he not even know where the bullet hurt?

Zhou Chengping, who insisted on rescuing last time and never gave up until the last moment, could not even explain An Luo's injury this time?This is so unreasonable.

Why did Zhou Chengping lie to others?

A strange uneasiness suddenly appeared in Anze's heart.

It happened that Zhou Chengping took off his white coat and hung it on the hanger when he was eating just now. Anze took off his white coat decisively, put it on himself, took out a disposable sterile mask from the drawer, and put it on. With only a pair of eyes exposed, he quickly turned around and went out.

The hospital in the middle of the night was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

An Ze walked quickly through the corridor in a white coat, and went straight to the door of the intensive care unit. The nurse on duty was taking a nap in front of the nurse's desk. Suddenly, a doctor appeared in front of him. He was wearing a mask and couldn't tell who it was. The little nurse squinted her eyes to see After glancing at his badge, he said, "Doctor Zhou, what's the matter so late?"

Anze lowered his voice, imitating Zhou Chengping's tone and said, "Well, I'll check on the patient's condition."

The little nurse laughed, "It's really hard for Dr. Zhou to be on duty, to see patients at such a late hour."

Anze nodded, walked to the door of the ward, took out the employee card in Zhou Chengping's pocket, and swiped lightly on the door. Sure enough, the door of the isolation ward was slowly opened.

Anze walked into the ward and closed the door, walked quickly to the bed, and whispered, "Brother, I'm here to see you."

The people on the hospital bed didn't respond.

Anze approached suspiciously, stretched out his hand and lifted the thick quilt——

The one lying on the bed was not his elder brother whom he was worried about, but a dummy made of plastic.
