Chapter 565: Run to the Dean’s Office Chapter 565: Run to the Dean’s Office Li Qi’an was almost scared into cardiac arrest, “I didn’t hear it very clearly, but it seemed like there was a lunatic who wanted to kill her. However, Yingying helped the police catch the person on the spot–”
A lunatic? That meant the warning he issued last time had come true. No wonder, when he looked into the car earlier and made eye contact with her, not only was she not the least bit panicked, but she also waved at him to signal: ‘Thank you, Senior Tao.’
Tao Zhijie’s brow rarely furrowed, and he wanted to smile but knew the matter was too serious to make light of it, showing he understood her meaning.
The reason he had told her to be careful walking alone at night was because of the rumors he’d heard about the lost envelope. The crazier the rumors spread, the more likely it was for a real lunatic to pop up.
“This might be related to the hospital’s investigation into who’s taking bribes. Let’s go ask President Wu,” Tao Zhijie said, preparing to head to the administration building.
He Guangyou turned around with him, only to see a man’s figure hastily crossing the corridor and heading towards the administration building ahead of them.
“Isn’t that Dr. Tan?” He Guangyou exclaimed, recognizing Tan Kelin’s silhouette. He thought it unusual for this insensitive man from General Surgery Department Two to be sprinting .
Since Tan Kelin knew about it, that probably meant his Junior Cao was already in President Wu’s office. Tao Zhijie narrowed his eyes.
It was then that Huang Zhilei received a phone call from his fellow townsman and exploded, “The junior sister lied yesterday morning, Senior Xia didn’t recognize the wrong person!”
Make a call to Senior Cao.
Cao Yong was handling affairs in the administration building. Upon receiving a call from his junior brother and hearing that the police had come for President Wu, he immediately went to the president’s office door and pulled it open without hesitation.
Inside, Director Yang was pouring tea for the leader from the city bureau, “Section Chief Wang, please have some water.”
“Thank you. Director Yang,” Section Chief Wang stood up to take the teacup.
Sitting behind the desk, President Wu touched his forehead, overwhelmed by the sudden news, “He insists without proof that someone from our hospital took bribes? Is this person mentally ill? Has he suffered any head injuries?”
“Is a head injury an excuse to kill someone!”
When the others heard this cold voice, they turned around and realized Cao Yong had come in.
“No, that’s not what I meant,” President Wu clarified.
Seeing that Cao Yong seemed to know something, Director Yang tugged at him, “Dr. Cao, please take a seat.”
Cao Yong was too anxious to sit down; he came to understand the situation before hurrying to her side, fearing she might encounter some mishap. Therefore, he questioned, “Knowing that man wanted to kill her, you still asked her to go see this murderer?”
The police and doctors think differently.
Section Chief Wang explained, “This is part of the investigation process; the criminal needs the victim to identify him.”
“Don’t you consider the potential trauma and secondary harm this could cause the victim?”
“Dr. Cao, please calm down,” Section Chief Wang recognized him as a famous neurosurgeon well known in the medical field, and said, “This process is very important. We encourage victims to bravely confront and identify the criminal, ensuring they receive the punishment deserved by law. You doctors believe it is harmful to victims, but don’t you likewise encourage them to bravely face the past and embrace the future?”
“Have you fully investigated the case? Why are you in such a hurry to have her identify the criminal now?”
“This–” Section Chief Wang hesitated.
Another voice forcefully interjected.
Tan Kelin burst into the room like a whirlwind, his face sallow with rage as he confronted Section Chief Wang, “President, how can their people do this, taking away my staff without any notice to us?!”
President Wu said with a sense of grievance, “They didn’t notify me beforehand either! I just found out about it, the same as you.”
