Chapter 46

In an ordinary ward.

Xu Xian sat by the bed, accompanying Jin Yunhao.

More than an hour after the surgery, he finally woke up.

Opening his eyes, Jin Yunhao saw Xu Xian staring at him intently with her chin resting on her hand, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable: "Cough... How long have I been asleep?"

Seeing Jin Yunhao awake, Xu Xian was delighted, her words tinged with excitement: "For more than an hour. How are you feeling?" Xu Xian blinked her bright eyes, asking inquisitively.

The anesthesia hadn't worn off yet, and Jin Yunhao couldn't feel much, just that his body was very weak and he couldn't muster any strength: "That... I want to make a call. Can you help me find my phone?"

Jin Yunhao had just searched his trouser pockets but couldn't find it.

"Here, your phone kept ringing earlier, so I answered it for you. It was your friend calling, and I told them the address of this hospital." The phone was on Xu Xian's lap, and she quickly handed it to Jin Yunhao, explaining.

"Thank you." Jin Yunhao nodded, politely, and then called Captain Park Jitae: "Captain Park, it's me, Jin Yunhao. How is the pervert? Did he confess?"

Seeing that Jin Yunhao's first concern upon waking was the case, Xu Xian was deeply moved. What a dedicated person! She quietly stood up and moved a bit away.

On the other side, Jin Yunhao was listening intently to the call.

"He confessed, everything. The pervert was hiding in an abandoned warehouse during the day and planned to commit one last crime tonight before fleeing Seoul. He didn't admit it at first, but when I told him your identity, he realized that assaulting a prosecutor is a serious crime, punishable by at least a few years. Realizing the severity, he confessed everything, hoping to gain your forgiveness and a lighter sentence. According to his confession, he committed over ten crimes in the Tongjae area, mostly targeting young women wearing glasses. His reasoning was that young women have less experience and are less likely to report the crime. He also targeted nearsighted women, saying they are less likely to recognize him in the dark..."

Park Jitae reported the details of the pervert to Jin Yunhao.

"Phew... Watch him closely. This guy is very bold and has a good attitude. Make sure nothing goes wrong." Jin Yunhao instructed.

"Don't worry. In the police station, there's no way he can escape. He's currently in solitary confinement, and we've already applied for an arrest warrant from the prosecution. We'll send him to the detention center tomorrow morning." Park Jitae replied casually, then changed the subject to Jin Yunhao's injuries: "How are you doing now? When I called you earlier, a girl answered and told me the address. I'm on my way."

Jin Yunhao knew it was Xu Xian who answered the call. He glanced at Xu Xian, who was a short distance away, and nodded before responding: "No need. Focus on the case. You know the situation better, so handle the follow-up. I'm fine, just a bit anemic. I'll be fine after some rest."

Actually, his injuries weren't that severe. If he hadn't struggled fiercely with the pervert, he wouldn't have torn his wounds and lost so much blood.

On the other end of the phone, Park Jitae was unaware of the severity. He thought Jin Yunhao had just been stabbed. Police officers often encounter such situations, and hearing Jin Yunhao say he was fine, he put his worries aside: "Alright, I'll come see you in the morning after I finish with the pervert."

"Thanks." Jin Yunhao hung up the phone. The conversation had been a bit long, and his head was starting to feel dizzy.

Seeing Jin Yunhao put away the phone, Xu Xian hurried over to help him lie down.

"Thank you. Today, I..." Jin Yunhao didn't finish his sentence when the door suddenly opened, and a figure rushed in.

The person who rushed in was none other than Shin Donghae. Seeing Jin Yunhao lying pale on the bed with an IV in his hand, he was heartbroken, his eyes red: "Boss, how are you? Are you okay? Where is that bastard now? I'll go beat him up."

Seeing Shin Donghae's angry face, Jin Yunhao felt a warm feeling in his heart but scolded him: "Stop being foolish. You are a public servant; how can you break the law? Besides, catching him and getting stabbed was worth it."

He was in a good mood now, having caught the vicious pervert and proving that he was a serial offender. This gave him a chance to keep his position as a prosecutor.

However, Shin Donghae wasn't as calm as Jin Yunhao. After working with Jin Yunhao for so long, he had always respected him and considered him like an older brother.

Seeing Jin Yunhao injured, he was naturally furious.

But after calming down, he realized it wasn't the right time to let Jin Yunhao worry. So he suppressed his anger and asked about Jin Yunhao's injuries.

"It's not serious. The dagger didn't penetrate deep and didn't hit any vital organs. I just lost a lot of blood." Jin Yunhao joked.

Noticing the location of Jin Yunhao's injury, Shin Donghae frowned. On his way, he had been puzzled about how Jin Yunhao, who was so skilled, could have been injured. Seeing the injury on his left abdomen, he was even more confused: "Boss, how did you get injured on your left abdomen? Didn't you wear a jacket?"

Shin Donghae had a degree in law and had received combat training. He knew that prosecutors often use that area to block attacks in critical moments.

But the question was, he clearly remembered Jin Yunhao wearing a jacket when he left. How could he have been injured on his left abdomen? A dagger shouldn't be able to pierce through a sturdy gun belt.

Shin Donghae, with his questions, looked around and saw that the jacket was in Xu Xian's hands.

Although Shin Donghae recognized the girl as Xu Xian from Girls' Generation and was curious about why she was here, his mind was full of questions, and he didn't have the energy to focus on other things.

He walked over, nodded to Xu Xian, and then carefully examined Jin Yunhao's jacket. The jacket was covered in blood but was intact, with no signs of being pierced by a dagger.

Seeing this, Shin Donghae was angry: "Boss, how could you be so careless? Why didn't you wear a jacket during the arrest?"

Although Shin Donghae meant well, Jin Yunhao couldn't explain that he had given the jacket to Xu Xian, who was sleeping. He was afraid Xu Xian would be embarrassed, so he quickly interrupted Shin Donghae's questioning: "The situation was urgent; I didn't have time to think about it. I'm hungry; get me something to eat."

"Boss, you..." Shin Donghae wanted to argue.

"Go quickly. I'm dizzy from losing blood. Don't waste time. And I want something from Xiaonan Restaurant."

"Boss, at this time, can't you be a bit less frugal?" Shin Donghae knew that Jin Yunhao chose that place because it was cheap.

"Others are here; can't you give me some face?" Jin Yunhao said weakly, partly due to his physical weakness and partly because he was annoyed by Shin Donghae.

Seeing Jin Yunhao speaking with difficulty, Shin Donghae quickly left to get food.

From the conversation, Xu Xian understood that Jin Yunhao had been injured because he had given her his jacket.

Adding to the previous misunderstanding, Xu Xian felt even more guilty. Although she didn't say it, her constantly furrowed and twisted brows showed her current mood.

"Don't frown. Your eyebrows will turn into a braid." Jin Yunhao, unusually, made a joke, teasing Xu Xian.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know..." Xu Xian bowed deeply to Jin Yunhao, very sincerely.

"It's okay, it's all in the past. And if anyone should apologize, it should be me. I said I would buy you and your friend ice cream at the hospital, but I got a call about a case and rushed back, probably making you wait for a long time."

Jin Yunhao explained the situation from that day. He had noticed the hostility from Xu Xian and Lin Yoon-a early on, and now he realized it was likely because of that incident. So he took the initiative to explain.

"Oh... I'm really sorry for misunderstanding you. When... When you recover, I'll buy you ice cream." Xu Xian, chin in hand, head slightly lowered, said softly.

After saying this, her cheeks turned red. This was the first time in 18 years that she had offered to buy a boy something.

"Ha ha... It's a deal. Let's put the past behind us." Jin Yunhao found Xu Xian particularly cute at that moment, realizing how beautiful she looked when she wasn't frowning.

Noticing Xu Xian's embarrassment, Jin Yunhao quickly changed the topic: "By the way, where is Lin Yoon-a? Didn't she come with you? Why can't I see her?"
