“Make way! Make way!” The medical staff member ran and wheeled a cart past Rong Jian. The wheels created jarring sounds due to the friction with the ground, drowning out the mumbling and long sigh.
“Are you the patient’s family?”
“Yes.” Rong Jian immediately pulled himself back to reality and stared nervously at the doctor. “How is she doing? Is she in a bad state?”
When the doctor pulled off his mask, he scanned Rong Jian from head to toe and asked, “What is your relationship to her?”
“I’m her… brother.” Rong Jian stopped short of claiming himself as her boyfriend when he saw Feng Rubing being wheeled out from the emergency room by a nurse. He hurriedly approached them and asked, “How are you feeling?”
“She’s okay,” the doctor answered on behalf of Feng Rubing and gestured for Rong Jian to follow him. “Here's the prescription. Pay and get your meds.”
“Oh, okay.” Rong Jian gave a deep look at the pale F
Liu Xiaofan turned around and took a look at Rong Jian before answering, “That’s provided by Miao Baogui, his housemate. Is there anything wrong?”“No. I’m just asking.” Rong Jian continued to pore over the file.Mu Yu sensed that something was wrong through his expression and immediately glanced at him. It happened that he was flipping the page over and she saw the words ‘sexual harassment’.“How about the information behind these phone numbers?” When Gu Jihui suggested looking into the numbers, Mu Yu noticed that Rong Jian’s hand trembled a little, causing her to look at him quizzically.“Yes, yes, it’s in my email. I forgot to print it out.” Fan Lifeng quickly walked near Mu Yu. “Doctor Mu, may I borrow your laptop?”“Sure thing.” Mu Yu retracted her glance and swiftly moved aside to make space. She quickly walked over to Rong Jian and whispered, “Chief Rong, did you have any new discoveries?”Rong Jian
“W-Who are you?” Mu Yu did not have time to pick up the mug on the table as she stood up and took a few steps backward.“I’m sorry. I must have frightened you,” the man hurriedly apologized to her while taking off his mask. He explained, “Doctor Mu, it’s me.”“Sir Nie?” Mu Yu let out a long sigh and broke into a smile. “I almost could not recognize you with your mask on. By the way, why are you in the office at this hour?”“To take over.”“Take over?”“Yeah. Where are your notes? Show it to me.” “It’s here.” Mu Yu quickly handed him her notebook with both hands. “About your daughter, Xue…”“Wait! I’m down with the flu.” Nie Yunkang took two steps backward and put on his mask again before receiving the notebook from her. After flipping through some pages, he looked at her. “I got it. You can go home now.”“How’s Snow doing?”“She’s still in the hospital.”
M-Madam Feng? Mu Yu was surprised and her hand froze mid-air when she attempted to open the door.“Chief Rong, drink some water. I’ll interrogate her.” Next, she heard Wu Xing’s nervous voice. “Go away!”“Chief Rong!”“I did not kill anyone.” Feng Rubing’s surprising reply signaled her willingness to cooperate with Mu Yu.“You said you didn’t kill anyone. So, tell me, what was your relationship with Li Jianyun? Why did you call each other multiple times? What did he say to you in the final call before his death? Also, where were you from nine o’ clock yesterday to midnight today?”“Chief Rong, I think you should ask the questions one at a time. You just fired a few questions at her. How could she possibly answer you?”“Shut up! Take your notes! Feng Ru… Who’s out there?” When he shouted, the door in front of Mu Yu was forcefully flung open. The gush of air from the movement made her take a st
“Young mistress!” Bian Zijun rushed over from afar and held her in time, screaming out of fear.Following that, Mu Yu quivered and abruptly woke up. She quickly grabbed his sleeve and asked, “Did something really happen to Huan? How is he now?”When she was asking, she felt her throat getting dry and even her voice croaked as she was close to tears due to the bolt from the blue. “Young mistress, you don’t look good. Let’s take a seat in there.” Feeling a bad hunch, she shoved him hard and started wailing. “Tell me, what happened to him?”Bian Zijun took a step backward and stared at her with sorrowful eyes but remained silent. In fact, the incident had happened at the factory to the north of the city in the evening. At that time, Qin Jinhuan hurriedly brought Wen Zeyu over to the location. Before his departure, he sent Bian Zijun to prepare the nutritional meal and take care of Mu Yu. He even threatened
Mu Yu was shocked by the gynecologist’s expression and her heart was throbbing wildly. She could feel her back getting uncontrollably hot. Staring fearfully at the silent gynecologist, she had wanted to ask questions for a few times, but the fear of hearing bad news forced the words back.Beside them, Qin Jinhuan seemed more nervous than Mu Yu. Pursing his lips, his laser-sharp gaze focused on the gynecologist without blinking.Finally, the gynecologist slowly pulled her hand back.“How’s the baby?” He immediately fired the question. The gynecologist looked at him with uneasiness and carefully checked with Mu Yu with some questions on menstruation before turning to Qin Jinhuan. “You said that your wife is pregnant. Where did you do the checkup?”Qin Jinhuan’s face was plastered with band-aids, and he didn’t get the chance to change into fresh clothes from the factory incident site. Therefore, the gynecologist did not recognize that the ma
“Huan?” Rong Ying turned around in astonishment.“Don’t tell grandpa about it.” Because Qin Jinhuan had slightly flicked some dust from his shirt while speaking, Rong Ying thought that he was referring to the earlier incident at the workers’ dorm. “Hasn’t grandpa heard about that news? Impossible! It is all over the internet!” She was struck by surprise.“I’m referring to the misunderstanding on Mu Yu’s pregnancy. Today’s events have been stressful enough for grandpa. I guess his blood pressure has increased, so I can’t burden him anymore.”Knowing that Qin Xiaozhi was very excited about her pregnancy, she immediately nodded. “I got it.”“Don’t mention Mu Yu’s condition to anyone else, except for Lei Zhi.” Qin Jinhuan knew that they could not hide anything from the family doctor. “Alright.”“You should leave,” Qin Jinhuan’s voice finally sounded relaxed. “When Yu is done resting, I’ll bring her home. Gran
“What’s wrong? Huan? Huan?” When Mu Yu jumped off the bed and ran after him with her questions, Qin Jinhuan was already heading downstairs. With a bad hunch in her mind, she quickly returned to her room to change and wash up. Next, she dashed to the first floor, preparing to follow him and to understand the situation.“Yu!” When she ran past the living room, she heard grandpa’s yelling and stopped in her tracks. Turning around, she noticed that grandpa and Qin Chengxi were both sitting there.Aside from them, three rare guests were there too: Qin Wentao, Dong Yueyun and Dong Wanqing.Dong Wanqing’s round eyes were fixated on her, which made her feel uncomfortable. Instantly, she glared at Dong Wanqing, who then pretended that she was unintentionally looking at Mu Yu and shifted her gaze away.“Yu, don’t run around! You could fall down… I mean hurt yourself!” Qin Xiaozhi did not have time to take his walking stick as he stood up to
Initially, Mu Yu thought that Yin Anran would be returning a slap and therefore was wary about her hand movements. However, she did not anticipate Yin Anran to be kicking back. When she was aware of her attack, it was too late for her to dodge and she could only reflexively cover her belly with her hands.In a split second, they heard Zhi Xiaoyin yelling, “Madam, look out!”. At the same time, she flung herself over to protect Mu Yu with a hug. The next moment, Yin Anran’s kick landed heavily on Zhi Xiaoyin’s waist.“Ouch!”“Hey!”The first thing Mu Yu did was to hug Zhi Xiaoyin but due to the external force, she stumbled six to seven steps backward before she managed to steady herself. Looking up, she noticed Zhi Xiaoyin’s contorted expression in pain and she hurriedly grabbed the secretary’s arm to check on her, “How are you feeling?”“I’m… Argh... I’m okay.” Zhi Xiaoyin gritted her teeth and forced a smile. “Madam, a
