Chapter 564: [564] Stop the car Chapter 564: [564] Stop the car “Silly child. What are you talking about? When they ask you to see that murderer, I worry even if you do not, aren’t you afraid after seeing him? I’m afraid. Afraid that he might see you and want to kill you again,” Aunt Zhang said.
“There are police officers around, he won’t be able to kill anyone,” the policewoman said helplessly.
“No matter what, I’m going with her. I’m her godmother,” Aunt Zhang insisted, as she voluntarily climbed into the police car.
Li Qi’an also attempted to tag along but was stopped by a police officer.
Since it was a mere inquiry and not an arrest, Hu Zhenfan consented to Aunt Zhang accompanying her. Aunt Zhang made a phone call to her husband, “You hurry and get a lawyer over here–”
Li Qi’an, seeing that everyone else had gotten into the car, leaving him behind, felt anxious about what to do next.
Not far away, two people who were getting off work and had just stepped out of the hospital building on their way to the parking lot suddenly spotted Li Qi’an. One of them said in confusion, “Teacher Tao, isn’t that the intern from General Surgery Department Two?”
Hearing He Guangyou’s words, Tao Zhijie turned and together they looked toward the police car.
“Is that a police car?” He Guangyou said hesitantly, “Why is he chasing after a police car?”
A beam of gaze shot over, and Tao Zhijie noticed the familiar silhouette in the police car, his eyes showing surprise before he quickly walked toward the police car, with He Guangyou carrying a briefcase and following behind him.
The male police officer who was about to drive away hadn’t pulled out the gearshift when he saw two men approaching and blocking the front of the police car.
The extremely anxious Li Qi’an was startled upon seeing Tao Zhijie and the others: Aren’t these people from the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department? The renowned Dr. Tao?
He Guangyou stepped forward and knocked on the police car window, “Officer, may I ask what happened?”
The three police officers in the car: What now! Who are these people coming up to us?
“It’s nothing,” the policewoman answered.
“She is an intern at our hospital,” Tao Zhijie said, standing next to the police car, his gaze piercing through the window and locking onto Xie Wanying inside the car, “Where are you taking her?” At that moment, his face was devoid of any smile, his look as chilling as a winter’s day, somewhat frightening.
“This–” the policewoman looked to Hu Zhenfan for guidance on what to say.
“Doctor.” Hu Zhenfan guessed that these two must be doctors from Guoxie and turned to explain with a smile, “Don’t worry. She hasn’t done anything wrong, we’re taking her to our city bureau for some cake.”
“Who are you trying to fool, comrade? She’s an intern at our hospital, why would the police take her to the city bureau for cake?” He Guangyou said, knocking on the car door somewhat angrily.
This was clearly an attempt to mislead, wasn’t it?
“It’s true. We did buy a big cake to treat her. You don’t believe me, but her godmother is with her, sitting inside the police car,” Hu Zhenfan offered Aunt Zhang as proof.
“That’s right. They said someone wants to kill her, and now they’re taking her to identify the murderer,” Aunt Zhang spoke.
Shock flashed across Tao Zhijie and He Guangyou’s faces: Murder?!
“That’s how it is.” Hu Zhenfan seized their moment of stunned silence, patted his colleague’s shoulder, and drove off.
The male officer stepped on the gas, and the police car sped away.
Coming to his senses, He Guangyou chased after the car for a couple of steps but couldn’t catch up. He ran back to Tao Zhijie and said, “Can we trust what the police said? Why is there such a serious incident like someone wanting to kill her.”
Tao Zhijie’s eyes turned to Li Qi’an.
Under his scrutinizing gaze, Li Qi’an quivered: The man’s eyes were truly like a Buddha’s, so piercing it scared him.
“Clarify what you mean,” Tao Zhijie said to Student Li, with a faint smile on his face.
