Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot-Chapter 704: Wanwan’s unwarranted disaster, auntie wants to kill him (3 updates)_2
Tang Wan rarely saw Zhou Zhongqing get angry. After exchanging glances with Shen Shuci, they both fell silent.
"Don’t bother looking for him anymore, he’s not a three-year-old, he’s an adult. Let his family come looking for him. With so many patients, who can watch over him 24 hours a day?"
The nurse nodded in agreement, greeted Tang Wan, and then left.
Zhou Zhongqing gave some instructions to his assistant before turning to Tang Wan, "You’ve been looking quite well lately."
"It’s just that you don’t look so good. Did you run into a troublesome patient? You look like you’re about to burst a blood vessel," Tang Wan said with a smile as she poured him a cup of tea.
Zhou Zhongqing suddenly glanced at Shen Shuci and muttered, "It’s Liang Han."
It was then that Tang Wan vaguely remembered; Jiang Jinsang had mentioned that Liang Han had been admitted to the hospital.
"I have some connections with his family. When he transferred here, he specially sought me out and asked me to take care of him. But once he arrived at the hospital, he was uncooperative during examinations, and would disappear on a whim. Without being examined, we can’t treat him accordingly. What can I do?" Zhou Zhongqing snorted coldly.
Tang Wan recalled the first time she met the Liang family; it was at the family recognition banquet Zhou Zhongqing organized for her, so they definitely had old ties.
"Right, that young man tried to hit on one of our nurses on his first day here. He asked someone for her phone number, but she has a boyfriend. Her boyfriend caught them, and it nearly ended up with Liang Han getting beaten again."
"Xiaowu did right by hitting him. That boy really had it coming. How did the Liang family raise such a child? He even got physical with you last time..."
"Knowing our relationship, it’s already decent of me not to have beaten him up. And he has the gall to ask for my help?"
Speaking of Liang Han, Zhou Zhongqing was full of complaints. He had been uninformed about the previous incident and had thought Jiang Jinsang had beaten Liang Han into the hospital.
When he heard that Liang Han had tussled with Tang Wan, he was so furious that it was a wonder how the Liang family had the nerve to ask him for help. But when he saw the state Liang Han was in after the beating, all he wanted to say was:
Jiang Xiaowu, you really did a fine job!
Shen Shuci was standing by, lips tightly sealed, not saying a word.
"Have some water and cool down. You shouldn’t waste your energy getting angry over such a person," Tang Wan said, handing him the water.
"You’re pregnant, so don’t move too much. Where’s Xiaowu?"
"He went to register."
"Good," Zhou Zhongqing nodded, "I called you last night. For the checkup, you need to hold your urine, you haven’t been to the toilet yet, have you?"
Tang Wan shook her head. It was usually fine, but talking about such topics really made her feel a bit awkward when she was considered a patient.
...
When Jiang Jinsang returned, Tang Wan began her examinations. Zhou Zhongqing thought it best to be thorough and ordered many tests.
For some of the gynecological tests, Tang Wan did not want Jiang Jinsang to accompany her, fortunately, Shen Shuci was there and stayed with her throughout the process.
"Next, there’s still..." Shen Shuci eyed the sign on the wall, searching for the next department to visit.
"Auntie, I want to go to the restroom first." Tang Wan was holding her urine for the examination, and now that it was over, she was desperately looking for a restroom.
"I almost forgot, the restroom should be on the right."
"I’ll head over there then, I’ll be right back," Tang Wan said, as she was in such a rush that Shen Shuci couldn’t help but laugh, watching her run off. "Wanwan, take it easy!"
"Got it..." Her voice trailed off as she disappeared around the corner.
Shen Shuci continued to study the wall signs, contemplating which path to take to the next department.
As she was figuring out the way and noticing that Tang Wan had not returned, Shen Shuci prepared to go find her at the restroom when she heard a scream.
This area was for various imaging tests, and at that moment, the entire corridor was empty. The familiar sound startled Shen Shuci, and she grabbed the various documents in her hand and ran towards the restroom —
Jiang Jinsang was in Zhou Zhongqing’s office, just having finished an examination, and was getting dressed while occasionally glancing at his watch.
"The tests won’t be done so quickly, what’s the rush?" Zhou Zhongqing laughed as he poured him a glass of water, "You’re recovering well. In a few days, you should get a comprehensive checkup, an even a CT scan, but there should be no big issues."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou." Jiang Jinsang stretched out his hand to take the paper cup from him, which was filled with boiling water. Perhaps because it was too hot, his fingertips trembled, and just then Zhou Zhongqing also let go, causing half the water to splash onto him.
"You, can’t even hold a cup properly!" Zhou Zhongqing frowned, handing him a tissue.
Jiang Jinsang lowered his eyes to look at his half-wet shirt, feeling his heart scalded and pounding erratically, filled with a sense of unease.
...
When Shen Shuci rushed over to the washroom area, she saw someone in a patient’s uniform clutching something similar to a syringe, tussling with Tang Wan.
"Hey—" Shen Shuci shouted.
The person stiffened with fright, panicked and dropped the object in his hand, then turned and ran!
Shen Shuci grabbed him, but he was running too hastily, and his clothes were ripped apart as he recklessly dashed forward.
"It’s you!" As soon as Shen Shuci’s words fell, he bolted, stumbled along the way, nearly falling. She was about to chase after him but instead turned back to check on Tang Wan first.
"What happened, how did you run into him! You..."
Tang Wan had just been almost pinned against the wall of the washroom, and now she was sitting on the ground, weak and gasping for air.
Her phone lay on the ground, the screen cracked like a spiderweb.
Yet, what truly made Shen Shuci’s scalp tingle was seeing the object on the ground and then the needle that had been stuck into Tang Wan’s shoulder. The needle had separated from the syringe, breaking off and remaining in her skin...
She was in complete panic, her face deathly pale, anxious and her eyes filled with redness as she gripped Tang Wan’s shoulder, not knowing what to do, instinctively trying to pull the needle out, only to be stopped by Tang Wan.
"Auntie, it’s alright." Tang Wan swallowed a breath, her breathing heavy, "Just help me up, I can’t stand."
"He... he is... that trash!" Shen Shuci bit her lip hard, struggling to keep from chattering her teeth, "Don’t be afraid, I’ll call for help right now."
Shen Shuci’s eyes flickered to the men’s washroom, where some syringe-like objects still lay on the floor.
Could it be...
That beast!
Her scalp went numb as her fingers trembled slightly while searching for her phone, and she almost failed to grasp it.
In broad daylight, and in a hospital, both Tang’s father and Jiang Jinsang had been admitted here before. Tang Wan was familiar with the place.
In a public setting, probably no one would expect anything to go wrong. Originally, Jiang Jinsang thought that by not following her and having Jiang Cuo and Jiang Jiu accompany her instead, especially since Tang Wan was also going to the gynecology department, having two men waiting would be strange. Indeed, nobody could have guessed that something would happen here.
She hadn’t even dialed Jiang Jinsang’s number when his call came in.
"Auntie, is Wanwan okay? I called her earlier, and it suddenly got disconnected, and I can’t get through to her phone."
"Hurry over... hurry over! Something’s happened." Shen Shuci suppressed her teeth from chattering.
"Where are you?"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Shuci finally looked at Tang Wan, who had a confused look on her face and seemed a bit dazed, "Auntie..."
"Hm? It’s nothing, nothing will happen." Shen Shuci’s eyes were red as she tried to reassure her, forcing herself to appear calm, reaching out to straighten Tang Wan’s clothes, "Don’t be afraid."
Tang Wan managed to squeeze a slight smile from her lips, "Yeah, nothing’s wrong."
The hospital was already silent, and during the speechless moments, the atmosphere grew eerie and weird.
Tang Wan’s grip tightened on her arm, pressing so hard that her fingernails snapped. Her eyes involuntarily reddened, and her body shook without control.
Shen Shuci, however, clenched her teeth:
She wanted to kill him!
