Beside him, Lin Hao, who was on night shift during his internship, stood there trying hard to stifle a yawn, thinking: What on earth is Student Xie doing, being all mysterious and forcing everyone to beco detectives to solve her case?
The investigation on Student Xie’s case continued. Huang Zhilei said, "I figure, transferring to a hospital in the Capital for treatnt but not seeking services from Guoxie, there aren’t many hospitals like that in the city. We could quickly find which hospital she’s in by checking them one by one."
"There’s no need," Song Xueling inford his seniors. "Going from one hospital to another would still be troubleso, even if there are only a few."
Huang Zhilei squinted at him: "Can you guess which one it is?"
It wasn’t a matter of whether he could guess, but rather Cao Yong probably figured it out when he hung up the phone, otherwise he wouldn’t have ended the call like that.
After hanging up, Cao Yong imdiately took off his white coat, changed back into his regular clothes, and grabbed his jacket and car keys, ready to head out.
"Senior Cao." Huang Zhilei followed him, feeling a bit anxious. He thought that if Senior Cao found their junior sister after being worried for so long, he might scold her initially to express his concern. Senior Cao was very kind, but in such situations, he would still nag as a form of showing care.
Rather than scolding, all Cao Yong could think about now was seeing her and ensuring she was well. Without chatting further with the junior, Cao Yong instructed him, "Don’t tell anyone where I’m going."
Since she temporarily wanted to keep it a secret, he would respect that.
Senior Cao was very considerate of his junior sister. Huang Zhilei nodded earnestly in agreent.
Going downstairs, Cao Yong drove out of Guoxie.
Contrary to what Xie Wanying thought, it wasn’t that there was a competitive relationship between Guozhi and Guoxie that made teachers from Guoxie seem to have issues with Guozhi. In reality, the two hospitals often collaborated as brother hospitals. The bosses from both sides frequently interacted due to academic exchanges.
Experts like Cao Yong, a famous neurosurgeon in the circle, were often invited by Guozhi for cross-hospital consultations and were extrely familiar with Guozhi’s environnt.
Last week, he had just been to the Guozhi Ergency Departnt for a patient consultation. The background noise during the call with his junior sister was too familiar to his ears. It wasn’t the sound of the heart monitor that was familiar; it was the call bell ring from the nurse’s station. The call bell sound from the Guozhi Ergency Departnt’s nurse station was different from other hospitals, specifically customized to feel distinct.
Thus, it was too easy for him to deduce she was at the Guozhi Ergency Departnt.
(Xie Wanying: Senior Cao, you’re so sly~)
He wouldn’t expose her on the spot, knowing it would be hard for her to answer questions. A dical student from Guoxie taking her sick family mber to Guozhi instead of Guoxie—how would Guoxie’s faculty think of her? Of course, he believed she had special reasons for doing so.
First, he wanted to go to the Guozhi Ergency Departnt to see what the situation was, to understand why her family mber was seeking treatnt at Guozhi, and how serious it must be to require treatnt in the Capital.
She had gone back to her hotown to be by the patient’s side and still needed to transfer the patient to the Capital, indicating her family mber’s condition was likely not mild. Cao Yong thought of this and grew concerned about her state of mind. When family mbers are sick, no one is in a good mood.
In the middle of the night, traffic in the big city was finally smooth, and in less than half an hour, Cao Yong drove up to the Guozhi Ergency Departnt. There was parking at night, and he easily found a space, slamd the door shut, and strode into the ergency departnt.
A nurse on night duty was at the ergency triage desk, and seeing soone enter from the main entrance, she habitually stood up and asked, "Are you here to see a doctor?"
