Emerging from the director’s office, Lu Jing suddenly remembered the words Director Wang had muttered when they had encountered Director Wang and his wife earlier.
At the time, he hadn’t understood, but now it was completely clear what they meant.
No wonder Director Wang had reacted that way then.
Director Wang had been his lead surgeon back in the day; of course, he knew all too well what had happened.
He couldn’t possibly be unaware of the consequences such actions would bring!
Clutching his phone in hand, he eventually slipped it back into his pocket.
He wanted to ask, yet dared not.
His mind was a mess, thoughts churning in disarray. Orıginal content can be found at novel_fіre.net
"There’s a patient looking for you."
He pinched his thigh several times, forcing himself to snap out of it.
All morning, Lu Jing hadn’t had a moment to think about the messy matters.
Was it Black Friday or something? Why were there so many patients today?
By the time he was finally done, it was already noon.
Just as Lu Jing entered the cafeteria, Jia Yuqing and Tan Xiaofeng approached:
"Hmm? Dr. Jia, Dr. Tan?"
The two of them sighed in unison:
"We just came back from the police station."
As the victims, making a statement was, of course, necessary.
"Nothing was lost, right?"
If those two little thieves had hidden something, no one could tell except the person involved.
In any case, they would certainly be searched once at the police station.
The two shook their heads:
"Doctor Lu, were you in the dormitory at the time?" Jia Yuqing asked curiously.
Lu Jing swallowed before nodding:
Jia Yuqing took a deep breath in shock:
"That’s terrifying; I wouldn’t even know what to do if it were me..."
I’d be so scared stiff I wouldn’t be able to react.
Tan Xiaofeng also shivered a bit; being a girl, how could she not be afraid?
After a while, she asked again:
"So, Doctor Lu, are you not going to come back?"
After all, the room had been cleared out.
No one knew how everything had been removed in one night.
Of course, Jia Yuqing and Tan Xiaofeng were unaware that firefighters had been at the scene the previous night.
Those were professionals – moving stuff was nothing to them.
Breaking windows, doors, walls – they made it look easy.
Lu Jing naturally wouldn’t volunteer any information, instead just nodding.
On hearing this, both looked at each other, and Tan Xiaofeng said:
"We are also thinking of moving out. The dormitory really isn’t that safe, and besides, it’s not very convenient."
For them, the inconvenience must be due to boyfriends, probably.
Lu Jing was reminded of an evening some time ago; it really was tough.
"Let’s get lunch," he suggested.
And with that, the three avoided the previous topic.
They lined up for their meals, ate, and the whole process took but fifteen minutes.
After eating, of course, everyone returned to their respective departments.
With nearly twenty minutes left before work, Lu Jing lay his head down on his office desk, planning to rest his eyes for a bit.
But no sooner had he closed them for half a minute than he was hurriedly awakened:
"Doctor Lu, there’s an emergency."
He instantly became alert:
He plunged into surgery and didn’t emerge for several hours,
To the point that when the call from the kindergarten came, he was bemused.
"Okay, teacher, I got it. I’m tied up at the moment; can someone go pick up Yaoyao for me?"
Over the phone, the teacher hesitantly agreed:
"Alright, but your confirmation is needed before we can let Yaoyao leave with anyone."
