Not long after Liao's mother woke up, Liao Qingmei took the initiative to invite the police over.

Knowing that it was a routine questioning, Liao's mother was very cooperative and took the initiative to tell her all the things she remembered before she fell unconscious.

"It was a day of routine inventory, I came out of the warehouse to order, and I had just walked a few steps when I heard an exclamation, and then the fire started. Liao's mother's pupils shrank, and she held Liao Qingmei's hand unconsciously and slightly, and she still had palpitations when she said it.

"All of a sudden, the fire got bigger, the corridor was full of black smoke, I couldn't see anything clearly, I remembered that there was a room at the end of the corridor for Lao Liu to show the goods, and at that time I only thought about going to the house quickly. โ€

"Why don't you run downstairs?" asked the officer who was recording next to him.

Liao's mother glanced at him, "There are a lot of raw materials in the factory, I have to order the leather, and I have to go to some accessories, fabrics and sticky, the factory is just such a building, or in the opposite direction, when the fire burns, there is no way to retreat." โ€

The shoe factory is just a small private factory, it has only been open for two years, but it has developed rapidly, in a small three-story building, production, warehouse, and accommodation are all together, because in the peak production season, the corridors outside the warehouse are full of raw materials, and the shoe factory has no escape channel at all, as for fire safety, it is not at all.

No one could have imagined that such a serious accident would happen.

The officer nodded, and suddenly stopped writing, "Excuse me, did you hear an exclamation? remember what kind of exclamation it was, and who was the owner of the voice?"

Liao's mother tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head, "I don't remember much, but it sounds like a woman." โ€

Asked this, there was nothing more to ask, the police closed the folder and told Liao's mother to rest more and leave.

Liao Qingmei sent people out, knowing that most of the injured occupations and family members on the other side of the big ward had been appeased, and she was slightly relieved to make sure that they would not suspect and make trouble.

At noon, Liao Haoyu rushed home in the rain to get the soup that Aunt Xu cooked, after the mother and son finished eating, Liao's mother rested first because of the drug, Liao Haoyu guarded, and Liao Qingmei went to the boiling water room to clean the dishes.

"Does it still hurt?" As soon as he entered the boiling water room, Gu Minglang squeezed in, holding an empty rice bowl in his hand.

At this time, Gu Minglang's image is not very good, after a heavy rain in the morning, it turned into a light rain, Gu Minglang's head was wet by the rain, and his trousers were even more wet, and there were mud spots and black charcoal rubbed marks on it.

Liao Qingmei paused with her hand, twisted her face slightly, and continued to wash the rice bowl, "It's okay, why are you here?"

Shouldn't it be the time to be busy? She saw him twice today, and she hurried by, only seeing his back and side face.

"Half an hour for lunch. Gu Minglang raised the rice basin in his hand, and after washing it, he took the rice bowl that Liao Qingmei didn't have time to wash in his hand, put it under the water faucet and washed it, Liao Qingmei's mouth moved, but she didn't stop it, and washed it in her hand.

"Don't worry, Auntie will be fine. โ€

Speaking of Liao's mother, Liao Qingmei's throat choked, her nose was a little sour, and she responded sullenly, "Hmm." โ€

In fact, Liao Qingmei especially wanted to ask about the progress of the matter, and wanted to clear the suspicion on Liao's mother at this time through the truth, rather than verbal threats.

Such a threat can stabilize everyone for a while, but once something is wrong or changes, everyone will still subconsciously put the blame on Liao's mother.

Now that Liao's father is not here, she is only afraid that the next time she makes trouble, she will not be able to resist.

But she also knew that there were some things that she couldn't ask, even if she asked Gu Minglang, she couldn't tell her, they had regulations, there were confidentiality regulations, and they had to abide by discipline.

"You're busy, I'll go back first. "Three lunch boxes, even if Gu Minglang wants to delay time, he can't delay it for a few minutes, drain the water, Liao Qingmei put away the rice bowl and is about to go back to the ward.

The moment he turned his head, his hair raised slightly.

"Wait!" Gu Minglang's eyes shrank suddenly, and he called out to Liao Qingmei.

Liao Qingmei stood still and looked at him suspiciously, only to see Gu Minglang stretch out his hand and gently pry the hair hanging down from the side of her face, Liao Qingmei hurriedly hid back, but did not dodge.

I didn't see it clearly when my hair was blocked just now, and Gu Minglang only now noticed that the redness and swelling on her face were shocking!

Liao Qingmei stepped back and turned her face away, a little annoyed how could Gu Minglang find out.

She was so seriously injured! She actually dared to say that it was okay! Gu Minglang was angry, his face immediately sank, and he looked at Liao Qingmei without speaking.

His gaze was too oppressive, Liao Qingmei lowered her head, "I didn't expect people to pounce on me...... I was defenseless for a while, and I don't blame others, after all, her child was so badly injured, it is understandable......"

"......" Gu Minglang sighed in his heart, resisted the urge to take her into his arms, and strode around to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Gu Minglang heard someone mention it, but he didn't expect to be hurt so badly, and he knew that Liao Qingmei couldn't be blamed for this, after all, the accident happened too quickly, and she later stopped others from continuing to hurt her, and he didn't blame the mother who was emotionally out of control, he only blamed himself for not being by her side to protect her.

"Don't sneak away, wait!"

Gu Minglang's tone was obviously angry, Liao Qingmei kicked the ground under her feet, calculated the consequences of sneaking away in her heart, and finally chose to stand where she was and wait.

This is a hospital is a public place, but it is not outside the courtyard with few people in his hometown, and most of the people who come and go in the hospital now are Liao's mother's colleagues, in case Gu Minglang is angry and does something, how can she still have the face to see people.

It's not Liao Qingmei's cowardice, it's really Gu Minglang's criminal record that has too many criminal records, and he can't prevent small movements.

She didn't want to be in the middle of this, spreading that there was something wrong with her style.

Gu Minglang took the medicine and came back, and found Liao Qingmei waiting obediently in place, the corners of her mouth hooked without a trace, "Go, I'll take you to the medicine." โ€

"You give me the medicine, I'll take it myself!" Liao Qingmei refused to let him give herself the medicine, as long as she thought of the man's hand on her face, she felt very uncomfortable and extremely ashamed.

"Keep up!" Gu Minglang had already discovered that the stronger she was, the weaker Liao Qingmei's momentum would be, and if she was used to her, she would dare to kick her nose in the face.

Gu Minglang borrowed a doctor's office and asked Liao Qingmei to sit down to rub the medicine on her.

"I said I'll just come by myself!" Liao Qingmei covered her face stubbornly, refusing to let him succeed, and stretched out her hand to ask for medicine, "I'll take the medicine myself." โ€

"Here you go, and you give it to someone else?" Gu Minglang had a smile on his face, Liao Qingmei choked, remembering the medicinal oil that she had given to her aunt, and she was speechless.

"Obedient, there are no mirrors here, you can't see it yourself. Gu Minglang coaxed her softly, holding a twisted handkerchief in his hand, and saw that Liao Qingmei still had something to say, "You can't do it by feeling! Your face is so swollen that you are numb now." โ€

"......" Liao Qingmei, the left side of her face has indeed lost her feeling.

Looking at the closed door, Liao Qingmei gritted her teeth, her heart was closed, and she raised her side face as if she were at home.

Looking at her little appearance, Gu Minglang's depressed mood improved, and after seeing the injured face, Liao Qingmei's skin was white and tender, and the slap marks on her face were particularly obvious and terrifying, afraid that she would be in pain, Gu Minglang moved very gently, first gently rubbed the scratch with a handkerchief, and then gently applied the ointment to her face.

Knowing that she doesn't like excessive contact, she uses smooth flat bamboo chips that are specially used for medicine.

The red, swollen and hot cheeks finally felt a trace of coolness after being medicated, Liao Qingmei opened her eyes, and after seeing that Gu Minglang was using bamboo chips, her tense heart eased up, and she was not so uncomfortable.

After taking the medicine, Gu Minglang was called away by a colleague who came to him in a hurry, Liao Qingmei shook the ointment box in her heart, and she didn't know where he was looking for the medicine, but there was no smell of medicine, only a faint fragrance of herbs and trees, so she didn't have to worry that Liao's mother would find out.

Liao Qingmei went back to the ward to take care of Liao's mother, thinking that there would be no more problems after asking in the morning, but she didn't expect another group of investigators to come around three o'clock in the afternoon.

It was still those questions in the morning, but the attitude of the person who came was obviously a little impatient, and Liao's mother was a little uneasy, but she still held on in front of her children and refused to show weakness.

All the answers were the same as in the morning.

The investigators quickly left again, Liao's mother breathed a sigh of relief, and when she turned around, she saw that Liao Qingmei had been frowning, and patted her hand to comfort her, "What are you doing, it's okay, they just came to ask about the situation, after all, it's a big deal, just let us cooperate." โ€

Liao Qingmei smiled, "It's okay, I just think the people in this investigation team are a little blind." โ€

"Then you can still recognize everyone!" Liao's mother was amused by Liao Qingmei, but she was still worried about the people and things in the factory, "I don't know what happened to the factory director, I haven't seen him anymore, hey! I don't know if anyone in our group is injured......"

Liao's mother is worried about a lot of things, but at this time, Liao Qingmei will not let her go to the big ward anyway, only persuading her that everyone has suffered a little injury and needs to rest, she is still a patient now, and it is not too late to visit everyone when she gets better.

Looking at her plaster arm and bandaged calf, Liao's mother sighed helplessly.

On the third day, the rain had stopped, and the magnolia tree was crumbling with green leaves and droplets of water hanging from the tips of the leaves.

Since the middle of the night, there have been intermittent cries in the big ward, Liao Qingmei is a little uneasy in her heart, and Liao's mother has been unable to sleep steadily, and in the second half of the night, the crying stopped, and now she is crying again.

"What's going on?" Qingmei!" Liao's mother panicked, pulled Liao Qingmei and asked, "You go over there to see, what's going on, I listen to Lanxiang's voice." โ€

On the other side of the big ward, Liu Lanxiang's man was gone, he had escaped during the fire, and when he returned to save people, he injured his leg and suffered extensive burns all over his body, and he committed suicide in the middle of the night after knowing that he would have to amputate his leg and huge medical expenses.

He left behind a young wife and a three-year-old child.

Liu Lanxiang fainted from crying in the middle of the night, woke up and continued to cry, and the low crying made people's hearts sour and astringent.

Liao Qingmei's biggest worry still happened!
