Chapter 468: [(468)] The junior sister has only Senior Cao. Chapter 468: [(468)] The junior sister has only Senior Cao. Huang Zhilei thought to himself that there was no way he, Senior Cao, and Senior Zhu would talk about it.
There were more than just a few of them in the operating room at the time; it must have been someone else who let it slip.
“Didn’t your junior sister tell you? Could it be that she knows something bad and has chosen to cover for that person?” Zhou Junpeng said.
“Impossible!” Huang Zhilei slammed down his chopsticks and vehemently retorted, “She’s not that kind of person. Besides, it was the child she was looking after who accidentally reached into someone’s pocket and pulled out an envelope. If she were up to no good, would the child she’s looking after accidentally pull things out of people’s pockets? It could only have been an unlucky coincidence.”
“Who keeps a large envelope in their pocket?” Zhou Junpeng continued to question him.
This matter mainly involved the hospital’s ongoing investigation into bribery among the staff. Envelopes full of cash meant for doctors were the most common form of bribery. It was hard not to make that association.
“How should I know?” Huang Zhilei thought about it and found the situation quite tangled. He and Senior Cao absolutely didn’t believe Xie Wanying would engage in splitting loot. The problem was, Xie Wanying hadn’t told them who it was either. The expression on their junior sister’s face at the time was very subtle, making it somewhat strange for the three of them to see.
“Huang Zhilei, why don’t you try to coax it out of her?” Zhou Junpeng suggested.
“Why should I coax her?” Huang Zhilei wouldn’t do such a thing; if he actively asked, wouldn’t it mean he and Senior Cao didn’t trust their junior sister’s character?
“Huang Zhilei, you haven’t understood what I meant. I believe she wouldn’t do such a thing. Because she’s smart enough to know there’s no benefit for her in it. But at the same time, she’s a person who values loyalty, right?” Zhou Junpeng said.
The reason their junior sister was so likable was precisely because she was intelligent and good at interacting with people, and her sincerity touched people’s hearts. Upon hearing this, Huang Zhilei could hardly describe the complex emotions welling up inside him.
“I’m afraid she’s been taken advantage of. Sometimes she’s a bit naive, right? Could it be possible that she’s very close with someone? Covering for them out of loyalty?” Zhou Junpeng further speculated, “Could it be the man she likes?”
Huang Zhilei couldn’t hold back any longer; he glared at him fiercely, “In my neurosurgery perspective, it’s your brain that has a problem!”
Because this guy had actually managed to reach such a wild guess that his junior sister had a secret lover! Standing up, Huang Zhilei decided to leave his fantasizing fellow countryman behind.
His junior sister couldn’t possibly have a lover; she only had Senior Cao. Why? Because she had called Senior Cao to arrange a meal together over the weekend.
When the surgery finished, Xie Wanying noticed that neurosurgery was done as well. After eating in her department’s office, she soon ran into Senior Gao.
Gao Zhaocheng casually said to her, “Give your Senior Cao a call and tell him to send someone over for a consultation in the next few days. It’s for my patient.”
Senior Cao and Senior Gao, as it was known, were quite close. Xie Wanying nodded. Senior Gao asked her to do this because her intern classmate hadn’t come to the department that afternoon, as they were at school taking classes.
She took out her mobile phone and dialed Senior Cao’s number. The ringing sound filled the air.
Senior Cao might have been busy and took a bit longer to answer her call, immediately asking her, “Yingying, what’s the matter?”
“Senior Brother, it’s . Senior Gao said he has a patient who needs a neurosurgery consultation and asked you to send someone over when you’re free in these next few days.”
“If it’s not urgent, I’ll send someone on Monday; it’s too late today,” Cao Yong said.
“He said in the next few days, so it should be okay to wait until Monday,” Xie Wanying answered.
