"Of course I wanted to, but there was no other way, was there?" The two hugged for a long ti before they finally separated.
"I bought you this al. Eat it while it’s hot. I need to rush back to the hospital now, so you should head upstairs!" Xiao Yifei handed the al to Tang Rong.
Tang Rong stood still, just looking at Xiao Yifei. Being gazed at by such a beautiful woman made Xiao Yifei’s heart lt, yet he still said, "Go upstairs quickly, I’ll leave once I see you’ve gone up."
So Tang Rong headed upstairs, turning back every few steps. Xiao Yifei watched her backside slowly disappear, sighed, and then got into his car, heading towards the hospital.
He still hadn’t told Tang Rong about the hospital matters, deciding to wait until there was an outco. After all, knowing wouldn’t help Tang Rong much, except to worry. So he had been holding off discussing the recent events at the hospital with her.
Xiao Yifei suddenly realized that Tang Rong might be the only person he was closest to in this world, if nothing disrupted their relationship in the future. So even if sothing happened to him, there probably wouldn’t be many people who’d be concerned.
The road back wasn’t congested at all, as it coincidentally was the rush hour in the opposite direction, with cars jam-packed on that side. Xiao Yifei’s path was clear, making his mood inexplicably better. There’s a saying, every day you’re alive is the newest day of your remaining days, so you might as well live happily.
Once he got to the hospital, most of the doctors had already gone ho, leaving only Xiao Yifei and a few on duty. Xiao Yifei thought his life was destined for overti. Doctors are usually busy, but soone as busy as Xiao Yifei was rare.
He saw Zheng Qiang still in the office and teased, "Zheng Qiang, you’re on duty again tonight? Don’t ss with ; my delicate young heart can’t handle your scares!"
"I’m heading ho soon, Brother Xiao. Are you planning to settle in at the hospital? You should be scared; I just watched a horror movie about a hospital a few days ago. Want to recomnd it?" Zheng Qiang replied.
"I’ll be fine. After all, there are so many doctors here in the hospital. But when you go ho, you’ll be alone, right?" Xiao Yifei said sinisterly.
A doctor nearby overheard their conversation and said, "You two are almost thirty and still playing childish gas like this. I love watching horror movies. If you’re interested, I can recomnd lots of good ones!"
Xiao Yifei has always kept his distance from horror films. Even with company, he wouldn’t dare watch them. So when he heard this delicate young woman say she loved horror movies, he felt his male pride was insulted. But he couldn’t understand what was appealing about horror movies other than the scares.
Zheng Qiang was the sa, looking at the doctor with wide eyes, utterly incredulous.
Even though Xiao Yifei had ntally prepared himself, his heart still raced when the police showed up at the hospital again. A phenonon like this is easily explained in dicine, caused by tension or fear.
Clearly, Xiao Yifei felt both reasons. He didn’t know what the police’s return to the hospital ant. Perhaps the worst scenario he prepared for would co looking for him.
It was the sa two police officers as before; they headed to the director’s office first, leaving Xiao Yifei to wait apprehensively. Thankfully, no one saw his awkward state.
About ten minutes later, they arrived at Xiao Yifei’s office, accompanied by the director. Those ten minutes felt like a century to Xiao Yifei.
Upon entering the room, the officer, who was relatively polite to Xiao Yifei, said, "After a thorough investigation on our end, unfortunately, all the evidence points to you. As per the police’s decision, you’ll need to co with us to the station. This directive also cos from the higher-ups, as they take this case very seriously."
"But more importantly right now, the hospital must urgently develop the antidote to this virus. Initially, the authorities intended to arrest you, but due to special circumstances, they’ve decided to overlook this case for now. Once everything is resolved, a decision will be made."
"From now on, you’ll be restricted in your movents. All activities must occur within the hospital, and any plans to leave must be reported to . Only with my approval can you leave. Dr. Xiao, here’s a guarantee form, please sign it."
After finishing her ssage, the beautiful officer thought that although it hadn’t reached the final step, the situation wasn’t optimistic either. What she said sounded pleasant, but how was this different from being under house arrest?
The current outco was simply because he was of use, and that kept him out of jail. But where was the true culprit, Zheng Peng, now? Was he punished like Xiao Yifei? Xiao Yifei knew without evidence, nothing would hold.
Willingly accepting the verdict, Xiao Yifei felt he owed sothing to those patients who died despite treatnts. His heart ached, and he felt a need for punishnt to lessen his sorrow.
After signing, Xiao Yifei told the officer, "I have no more issues on my end. I’ll remain in the hospital as required. Sorry for any trouble I caused you."
"It’s no trouble; it’s my job, just like your job is to heal and save people," replied the calm officer.
In fact, she had a bit of admiration for Xiao Yifei. Ever since their first encounter regarding Zheng Peng at the hospital, she held so curiosity about him. That’s why she volunteered to investigate this case when she learned it involved him.
These types of cases are generally dull and lacking in challenges, so the original investigator willingly swapped with her. She then dug into various channels for information on Xiao Yifei, which piqued her interest.
He was peculiar; a few years ago, he owned a clinic, which he inexplicably transferred and then joined the hospital as just a doctor. She found out he was once the private nurse for a company president’s daughter in the city, but also inexplicably quit, despite the higher pay of private nursing.
What kind of person was Xiao Yifei? Based on her findings, he seed quite carefree, indifferent about money. This situation was indeed puzzling—could soone have frad him? But all evidence pointed to Xiao Yifei, and he himself admitted it.
Moreover, his recent deanor affird it was his doing. Xiao Yifei was truly an enigma! She shook her head, sighed, and sat idly in the hospital corridor.
