Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The ambulance arrived at the county hospital.
Xia Wan got out of the car and accompanied Liu Hua into the emergency room.
While waiting for Liu Hua’s check-up, Xia Wan called Officer Song. “Officer
Song, I need your a.s.sistance with something.”
“Miss Xia, why are you here?” Fang Ming, the director of the emergency department, greeted Xia Wan warmly upon seeing her.
The director had specifically instructed not to expose Xia Wan’s ident.i.ty, so even though the hospital staff recognized her, they referred to her as Miss Xia.
Xia Wan and Fang Ming, having met twice before, were not very familiar with each other. However, since she was appointed by the hospital and was Fang Ming’s colleague, she couldn’t afford to be too distant.
“Director Fang, my friend was brought here for emergency treatment. I’m waiting for her,” Xia Wan replied succinctly.
“Your friend? In emergency treatment?” Fang Ming found it hard to believe.
With Xia Wan’s medical expertise, complex diseases were easily handled. If someone needed emergency room care, the situation must be serious.
Director Fang immediately perked up. “Miss Xia, rest a.s.sured, we will do our utmost to save your friend!”
Realizing that Director Fang had misunderstood, Xia Wan was about to explain.
That was when the emergency room door opened from the inside.
Liu Hua, tidying up her clothes and still pale but looking much better than before, greeted Xia Wan with a smile, “Wanwan, let’s go!”
Director Fang, momentarily stunned, looked at Liu Hua and then back at Xia Wan. “Is this your friend?”
The expected scene of bloodied and severely injured patients was completely absent.
Liu Hua greeted Director Fang politely. “Thank you, everyone. I’m feeling much better now!”
“Don’t you need a more thorough examination?” Director Fang eventually regained his senses.
Xia Wan nodded at Director Fang. “Thank you, Director Fang. We came to the emergency room for a specific reason.”
“If there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving now,” Xia Wan said, taking Liu Hua’s hand and heading out.
Had the police not insisted on an ambulance for Liu Hua, this trip wouldn’t have been necessary. However, it did provide Xia Wan the opportunity to contact Officer Song, avoiding some unnecessary ha.s.sle.
Linda was still at the police station. They had to hurry there as soon as possible.
As Xia Wan and Liu Hua were leaving, they heard Director Fang’s voice again.
Xia Wan turned to see Director Fang gesturing for her to wait while he picked up a landline phone and dialed a number.
After hanging up, Director Fang approached Xia Wan. “Miss Xia, the hospital will arrange a car to take you home.”
“No need,” Xia Wan immediately declined.
Director Fang persisted, “Your friend just came out of the emergency room and needs rest. Besides, this is the hospital’s arrangement. It’s a courtesy you deserve!”
Although Xia Wan was hesitant, she eventually agreed, considering Liu Hua’s condition. “Thank you, Director Fang.”
Liu Hua, puzzled about why Director Fang said it was arranged by the hospital, did not inquire further. She a.s.sumed it was due to her recent emergency treatment and the director’s acquaintance with Xia Wan.
The car arrived at the police station entrance just as Xia Wan saw Officer Song waiting.
“Officer Song, we’re here,” Xia Wan greeted.
Officer Song promptly approached. “Miss Xia, we’ve cleared up today’s incident. Regarding your friend…”
“Officer Song, I didn’t call to disrupt the police station’s normal operations,” Xia Wan interrupted. “Also, what did you find about that person?”
“We haven’t found anything unusual about that person,” Officer Song shook his head.
“Then perhaps I was overthinking it,” Xia Wan said, slightly lowering her head.
She then addressed Officer Song. “We’re here to cooperate with the investigation. Please lead the way.”
Xia Wan and Liu Hua entered the interrogation room of the police station. After giving their statements, they proceeded to the hall to wait.
Shortly after, Linda was brought in.
Fang Ge and his companions were brought out soon after.
Upon seeing Linda, Fang Gels anger flared up again, but he was quickly restrained by a tall, muscular man.
Linda made a face at Fang Ge and snorted before turning to Xia Wan. “The police said I can go first.”
“Are you and Liu Hua alright?” She clasped Xia Wan and Liu Hua’s hands, examining them.
Liu Hua’s complexion was still poor, but noticeably better than before..
