Jiang Tingxu had just washed her hands and removed her surgical gown. As she walked out of the operating room, she heard the police were looking for her. She was a little confused.
Liao Jiayu and Deng Peng locked eyes at each other and quickly walked forward. “Why are you looking for the chief surgeon?”
“Both of you had participated in Mr. Ni’s surgery, right? Please come to the station with us. It’s no big deal. We just need your assistance to comprehend the situation.”
Eh?
Jiang Tingxu stepped forward. “I’m the chief surgeon, Dr. Jiang Tingxu.” Phew, to be summoned by the police as soon as they came out from the operating room…
“Hello, Dr. Jiang. We came over after receiving a report from the hospital this morning. As we got here, quite a few witnesses had provided their testimonies, saying Mr. Ni had an emergency because of Ms. Lan. So we would like your cooperation with the police to help resolve this matter.”
Ah, so that’s what it’s about. The surgeons had thought that they’d were involved in a crime.
“We could go with you, but could you wait for a moment? We need to change our clothes or something.” Jiang Tingxu had thought that she and the other doctors couldn’t just go to the station in their white coats—they also needed to tidy up their appearance and wash their faces. They had to look professional for representing Yun City’s No. 1 Hospital.
“Okay, doctors.” The police wouldn’t reject such a simple request.
Jiang Tingxu, Liao Jiayu, and Deng Peng shrugged at each other.
When he saw Pei Rusi coming over from the corner of his eyes, Liao Jiayu immediately called out, “Director Pei.”
As a matter of fact, Pei Rusi had been keeping an eye on the situation in the operating room. Yet, there were many patients in the emergency department this morning. He was so occupied that he didn’t even have the time to check on the surgeons and the patient. Right now, he had some spare time, so he came over. His face was calm when he replied, “Mhm, don’t worry. The board trustees had been informed about this matter. You guys are just going to help out with the police investigation. You’ll be fine.”
To begin with, it had nothing to do with the hospital. Pei Rusi hadn’t said anything about the incident anymore. He brought the message from his boss. “Dr. Jiang, Doctor Liao, you can come to work at 10 p.m. tonight.”
Did the hospital delay their shift by a few hours?
Pei Rusi nodded his head once again. “That’s right. 10 p.m. President’s orders.”
It was almost 3 p.m. now. Nobody would’ve known how long the investigation would take. If they hadn’t delayed it, they would’ve taken over the shift at 5.30 p.m., meaning no breaks between their shifts. They weren’t machines—they couldn’t have withstood the long working hours. How considerate the management board was for their fellow employees.
As for Deng Peng…
“Director Pei, what about me?” he asked.
Pei Rusi coughed. “You’ll need to ask thoracic surgery about that.”
Deng Peng’s face had looked twisted like he was trying hard to not break down in tears.
After the notice, Pei Rusi had returned to his office. Jiang Tingxu and the other two hurriedly tidied up before leaving the department. They got into the police car and left. As soon as they were seated, they had fallen asleep.
…
At Shengshi Entertainment, the audition was nearing its end, and there were still three more to go.
Mo Boyuan and Wang Weizhi had conducted the audition personally, which had shocked everyone who was auditioning for their roles. No one had known anything about it before they had gotten there.
When they’d opened the door, sitting right there were the two legendaries of the entertainment industry—it was more of a fright than a surprise.
After auditioning so many people, both the gray-bearded Wang Weizhi and the youthful Mo Boyuan had looked exhausted.
It was at this moment that his phone on the table had rung. Mo Boyuan waved his hand and signaled to have the audition paused. He picked up his phone, and Leng Zheng’s voice came through. “Boss, Madam has been taken to the police station.”
Mo Boyuan stood up. “What’s going on?”
