Chapter 608 - The Disappearance
After a day and night, Qin Gengxin had finally pulled back from the hands of Yama and Wu Boqin finally transferred him back to an ordinary ward. No matter what, Wu Boqin couldn"t let him act rashly without caring about his body.
Wu Boqin firmly held qin Gengxin"s arm. When the nurse finished giving him the injection, Wu Boqin raised his head and took a step back due to the cold look in Qin Gengxin"s eyes. The nurse looked at him with an awkward expression, then looked at Wu Boqin, who had a serious expression, "Director Wu …"
"Go out, he has something to say to me. It"s none of your business." Then, Wu Boqin covered Qin Gengxin with the blanket and said, "I still have to observe you for one more day. I will let you slowly get off the bed and go to the bathroom by yourself. Of course, within this week, other than the bathroom in the ward, you can"t go anywhere else."
Qin Gengxin did not have much strength to begin with, and now that he was forcefully injected with anesthesia, he couldn"t even move. He could only helplessly say, "You"re ruthless!"
Wu Boqin smiled. "You can"t do too much with the anesthesia in your body. You"d better control yourself. Don"t make it worse."
Qin Gengxin closed his eyes and whispered, "Go to the Central Hospital and help me find someone."
Wu Boqin raised his eyebrows. "Who?"
"Xian Guiying." Qin Gengxin"s consciousness gradually grew blurry, but he said the name with worried before he fell asleep.
Although Wu Boqin had heard of Xian Zihao, he had never had the chance to meet him. Upon hearing that Qin Gengxin was looking for Xian Zihao"s sister, he immediately thought of Qin Gengxin"s wedding.
At that time, Wu Boqin was very busy, but he also attended the wedding and knew that Xian Guiying was the pregnant woman that Qin Gengxin had married at that time.
Wu Boqin finally understood something.
The next day, the nurse pulled out the catheter from Qin Gengxin"s body and suggested that he exercise slowly by going to the toilet. Once he was done, Qin Gengxin slowly walked back to the sickbed step by step and finally sighed in relief as he sat down on the bed. Wu Boqin looked at him with worry in his eyes.
"I"ve been to a Central Hospital."
Qin Gengxin didn"t have much energy left in his body. He took medicine after waking up in the morning and fell asleep again soon after.
Hearing Wu Boqin"s words, he looked up at him calmly, "Have you met that person?"
Wu Boqin pursed his lip and hesitated. He just looked at him. "When you came out of the police station, I found you fainted on the side of the road. I didn"t even have time to ask you what had happened that made you so desperate."
Qin Gengxin frowned. "Get to the point."
Wu Boqin looked at him. No one knew what he was thinking, but after looking at Qin Gengxin for a while, he didn"t say anything and just handed over an A4-sized paper.
Qin Gengxin took it. By the time he saw the death certificate and saw that the name was "Qin Wenqian", he couldn"t believe it. His pale face immediately turned paler.
"While I know a few doctors in the country, not many are too familiar with me at the Central Hospital. I went looking for Xian Guiying, but the staff there said they had no idea where she went. Then, there was a doctor named Wei Shanyuan and when he knew I was your friend, he treated me coldly and left without saying anything."
"Old Qin, is this your daughter?" Wu Boqin asked.
Qin Gengxin, on the other hand, was reading every word about Qin Wenqian"s critical illness, including the time of her death.
It was five days ago.
His grip on the A4 paper gradually tightened. He slowly placed the death certificate, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Wu Boqin, if you are really my brother, then let me leave the hospital."
Wu Boqin looked at him coldly, "You can"t leave the hospital now. Gengxin, it"s been five days. It"s too late for you to see the child. I"ve seen this child"s condition and symptoms. I"m afraid…" He didn"t finish the sentences.
Still, Qin Gengxin tightly held the death certificate in his hand and said in a quiet and hoa.r.s.e voice, "If anything really happened to Qin Wenqian, I"m afraid I"ll end up like her in your hospital. I must find her."
Qin Gengxin forced himself to stand up after he said that. As he moved his legs, the stabbing pain in his stomach caused him to frown. He restrained himself and insisted on walking towards the ward door.
Thirty-two years.
He, Qin Gengxin, had lived for thirty-two years and had never been so strong or defeated in his entire life.
Even back then when he was facing Jiang Ruolan"s and Xian Zihao"s marriage, even when he was faced with many ruthless things until he needed to give up, he never once felt the pain like this.
Wu Boqin didn"t insist this time, and he just watched as Qin Gengxin struggled to move his legs. Every step was very heavy, his face was pale, and his aching body had lost weight over the last few days.
Wu Boqin frowned and wanted to say something, but seeing Qin Gengxin"s unusual expression, he actually couldn"t open his mouth.
All the scenes of the past eleven years pa.s.sed before Qin Gengxin"s eyes, from the beginning of his acquaintance with Xian Guiying to their intimate friendship, to his indifference to the secret confrontation at the wedding ceremony, to Qin Wenqian"s small body crawled into his arms when she called to him in a soft voice, "Daddy...Daddy."
Qin Gengxin"s face turned pale, his pale lips pursed. He finally walked to the ward door and took the door handle, pulling it open.
"Old Qin."
At first, Wu Boqin was considering how he could stop Qin Gengxin"s reckless behavior in the current situation. However, when Qin Gengxin stepped out of the ward, he seemed to end up on his knees due to exhaustion.
Wu Boqin stepped forward to help him, but Qin Gengxin pushed him away and leaned against the cold wall. His hands still gripping the death certificate, his eyes were focused on the white wall in front of him and his knuckles turned a ghastly bluish-white.

When Qin Gengxin finally arrived at the Central hospital, it was already the sixth day since he got the death certificate from Wu Boqin.
All this time, he had called Xian Zihao. It wasn"t until Xian Zihao came to visit Qin Gengxin that he found out about what had happened to him recently.
Xian Zihao explained the situation, but the only thing he said was that Xian Guiying had hidden the truth from everyone and left H City, even submitting a resignation letter.
He had even checked Xian Guiying"s bank card usage records and entry and exit records, but she did everything smoothly as she left. On the day she left, she had transferred some money from her bank account, so no one knew what bank card she was using now and it was definitely not easy to find out.
Clearly, apart from the two brothers, Wei Shanyuan and Wei Zhengsheng, no one else knew where she was and no one knew where Qin Wenqian"s body was buried.
Xian Zihao knew that his sister had been heartbroken with the Xian Family, Qin Gengxin, and her daughter"s death, and that"s why he"s so worried about her. Her collapse was due to all the injustices she suffered and because of that, she decided to disappear before their eyes forever.
Because Xian Zihao understood his sister very well, he stopped trying to find her and instead comforted the Xian Family, asking them to give her time.
When Xian Zihao mentioned the evidence of Qin Wenqian"s death, Qin Gengxin"s calmness was terrifying.
Xian Zihao said that maybe he should give Xian Guiying some time to calm down. Even though he already knew the reason why Qin Gengxin didn"t see his daughter before she died, he kept telling him that there was no point in saying anything because it had all gotten to this point. When Qin Wenqian"s death certificate was handed over to him, the fighting had come to a complete halt.
Xian Zihao told Qin Gengxin to recover well. With Xian Guiying"s personality, even if she wanted to sever all ties with the Xian Family and others, that was her choice and she wouldn"t do something that will hurt herself.
He told him not to worry too much and that the time would pa.s.s slowly.
Qin Gengxin understood Xian Zihao. They had been friends for more than ten years, so naturally, he could feel that no matter what he had done to Xian Guiying over the last two years, even if there was understanding in Xian Zihao"s eyes, he (Xian Zihao) still supported his sister"s plan.
Even when Xian Zihao said this, Qin Gengxin knew that he was hiding something from him.
