Battered Young Miss

As though controlled by a string, the movement of Zhang Tianyu appeared somewhat robotic, onlookers in form of patients and visitors pointed in his direction, with whispers of, "Something must have happened! Just look at him! Hmmm...what a pity!"

The ever sharp ears of the press picked up on what was said, unfazed by the sn.o.bbery of Zhang Tianyu, the reporters still persisted in their questioning, "President Zhang, Tell us what happened! Is the heiress dead?!"

A female reporter boldly shouted such an insensitive question, this caused an audible gasp from other reporters and bystanders. At the same time, the facial features of the Zhang President froze, he looked as one who just got punched in the face, not a single splash of color remained on the fair skin of Zhang Tianyu.

"Who said that?!"

The unexpected roar from Zhang Tianyu made the mic from the reporter you made such a remark fall loudly to the ground. Never had the President of Zhang Corporation lost his cool in public, he was well liked by the press by how he handled them. Among them were his personal "buddies" whom he could control at the snap of his fingers.

When this happened, he was already where they were, his men pus.h.i.+ng through the ma.s.s of reporters to pave way for their boss to pa.s.s through. Not a single question came afterwards, it was as though he tore off their tongues.

"Wow! This people are not human! Can"t they see that the man looks sad? I can"t imagine what he and his family must be feeling"

"So true, I don"t know them, but I feel sorry towards them..."

"Hmmm...hmmm.."

The bystanders kept conversing among themselves, showing through their words the lack of compa.s.sion that the press was showing towards a man that for all appearances looked like an important figure. Until one of them said, "That"s is! I remember, he is the one that took his niece, I think she was an heiress or something. They had to go to court and the case just became resolved of recent."

"Is that really true, so people can have mind to take their niece who is as good as one"s daughter to court? Wow! He is really something!"

"Wait! So it is okay to let a family member do as they want and not seek justice if they are taking advantage of you?!"

"Is that what really took place?!"

"I don"t know the exact story, wasn"t really following."

"Then don"t speak as though you are sure about your fact. What nonsense!"

"Hehn?!"

"Please, let us all get alone. Don"t fight over something so little."

"..."

The conversation from the bystanders finally ceased, as they watched the President of Zhang Corporation leave the building along with the men that came with him.

Zang Tianyu"s harsh rebuke spurred Yang Lin to action, by asking that an ambulance be called to take his "deceased" former boss to the Zhang villa. This was a very unusual request that caused each person from the surgical team to look one from to the other.

"Is it possible or not? I need an ambulance urgently to take the body of Miss Zhang back to her home, is there like a back door or elevator that is not frequently used? To avoid drawing attention. None of you is to say anything to the press, that is for President Zhang to handle. I need not remind you that he is a very scary person."

The head surgeon, Dr w.a.n.g opened up to directly speak to Yang Lin, "I know someone personally from the dispatching unit who owes me one, can I use your phone, that is if you have one one you, to make a call?"

Surprised by the gesture of Dr w.a.n.g, Yang Lin dipped his hand into his pocket to hand the other man his phone.

"h.e.l.lo, this is Dr w.a.n.g please I need you to get me an ambulance by the back entrance of the hospital, it is very urgent. We need to transport a patient out of the hospital. *Tetete*"

What Dr w.a.n.g meant at the end of the conversation was a coded way of saying that only the man should personally handle the errand and no one else.

"I hear you, the ambulance will be there in no time."

The doctor pressed the red b.u.t.ton on the phone to end the call, before handing the phone back to Yang Lin.

The nurse silently mouthed the word, "What did he mean by teteee?"

Only to receive a shrug in return, as the rest had no idea behind the words of their teammate.

The other man that Dr w.a.n.g spoke with already guessed that his friend may have borrowed the phone he called with, probably because he may not have been able to gain access to his phone.

A little over five minutes and Yang Lin heard his phone beep, by the second ring he picked up, "h.e.l.lo..."

"A Dr w.a.n.g called me with this phone, the ambulance is waiting at the location he asked."

"Thank you, I will let him know."

This time the caller at the other end cut the phone, as Yang Lin spoke to the people present.

"The ambulance is here. Only Dr w.a.n.g and the nurse need follow, the remaining of you can stay back."

The two men and woman pushed the bed with the "body" of Zhang Mi through a rickety emergency elevator down the hall, until they got to the last floor and out the gla.s.s door that led straight for the emergency exit out of the building where a running ambulance stood with a man in a paramedic uniform.
