The Undercover Heir is Actually Tycoon's Secret Girlfriend-Chapter 348 - 277_2
As soon as they stopped focusing their gaze on her, Qi Nian instantly breathed a sigh of relief, her palms sticky by her sides.
The medicine was indeed not bought by herself; it was given to her by someone she was negotiating a collaboration with at the time.
Rong Zhi sounded calm and steady, "But how did I hear that you spent the entire winter vacation traveling abroad?"
Qi Nian stiffened all over, disbelief in her voice: "You investigated me?"
Rong Zhi shook her head, "I’ve already reported it to the police; that’s the result of their investigation."
The implication was that she also had just heard about it.
Qi Nian suddenly panicked.
Report to the police, how did Rong Zhi end up calling the police?
Wasn’t she supposed to... consider how to compensate her, and then minimize the problem?
Rong Zhi’s sudden move threw Qi Nian into a panic, while officers from the Criminal Police Force had already arrived in the hospital room.
Having not seen him for a few months, Sheng Zizhao’s complexion was even darker, and his aura had become even more formidable.
When their eyes met momentarily in the air, he carefully hid his feelings, while she remained cold and indifferent.
Sheng Zizhao suppressed his heartache and spoke coldly, "The case regarding the substandard quality of SL Pharmaceutical’s drugs is now being handled by the Criminal Police Force. Miss Qi, we need to transfer the patient to a sanatorium for treatment; you need to come with us to the headquarters."
Qi Nian’s mind raced, but having not used her brain for too long, she got stuck, stumbling over her words: "I, I, am not, I don’t need to go to the Criminal Police Force; Grandpa, he is fine, he—"
"Miss Qi," Sheng Zizhao interrupted her coldly, "Whether the patient is fine is up to the doctors, and you don’t need to be nervous. It’s just a routine inquiry."
Even a routine inquiry is not fine!
The police station, in the minds of ordinary people, is a formidable and solemn place that represents justice and fairness. Qi Nian, who was already feeling guilty, didn’t dare to go at all.
But Sheng Zizhao had no intention of wasting words with her, signaling for a female colleague to come up and half-carry, half-drag her away.
The female colleague tried to soothe Qi Nian, speaking gently.
Listening to the incessant murmuring in her ear, Qi Nian felt internally devastated.
With the nuisance gone, Rong Zhi gestured to Song Yue to take the patient over first, while she took a turn around the hospital room.
Seeing this, Sheng Zizhao asked, "What are you looking for?"
Rong Zhi searched for a long time; there was nothing in the nightstand, so she looked in the bathroom and trash can.
She didn’t respond to Sheng Zizhao and headed straight to the bathroom.
Sheng Zizhao had no choice but to follow.
He saw the girl half-squatting in front of the bathroom trash can, probably because the trash bag hadn’t been changed by the nurse, it’s filled with garbage and a faint odor emanated. However, the girl remained expressionless.
Just as Sheng Zizhao was about to speak, his pupils shrank, and without thinking, he reached to grab the girl’s extended hand. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"Don’t move!"
Rong Zhi, touching the tissue on the washbasin, turned her profile and said calmly, "What’s wrong?"
Sheng Zizhao froze on the spot, full of embarrassment.
He silently retracted his hand, furrowing his brows, with a slightly annoyed tone, "Don’t touch those things without gloves; you are a doctor yourself, and understand the risk of viral infection better than I do."
Rong Zhi responded simply, "Then you do it."
"I do it, then I’ll do it..." Sheng Zizhao instinctively blurted out.
The words suddenly paused at the tip of his tongue; he pursed his lips, almost stiffly snatched the tissue from the girl’s hand, awkwardly changing the subject, "What are you looking for?"
Rong Zhi didn’t mind, she stood up and made way, "The rainbow-colored stick on the left, yes, it’s that one."
Sheng Zizhao found two perfectly wrapped lollipops from the trash can.
Rong Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling the urge to tease.
Who sets someone up without destroying the evidence? Besides luxury goods, what else is in Qi Nian’s head??
Sheng Zizhao handed her the lollipops, but she directly asked him to take them away, as they were evidence; it’s better for the Criminal Police Force to carry out the investigation.
Rong Zhi took another round outside, and after confirming there was nothing else, she left.
She still had to perform surgery on Grandpa Qi, and separated with Sheng Zizhao downstairs; he didn’t even get a good look at the back of her car, she just disappeared in a flash.
Sheng Zizhao realized belatedly that she seemed to be a famous international racing driver.
No wonder her driving skills are so impressive.
He furrowed his brows and tapped his chest at a certain spot; it felt stifled and uncomfortable.
-
The surgical plan was given out in the shortest time, Rong Zhi as the chief surgeon, assisted by Tang Xuyun, and Grandpa Qi was pushed into the operating room, marking the start of a lengthy surgery.
The moon quietly peeked out from the edge, casting its soft light over the earth, hazy and dreamlike.
The light in front of the operating room door was dazzlingly bright.
Grandpa Qi’s son and son-in-law had passed away early, leaving only a granddaughter for company, growing old and now ill. If he hadn’t seen his granddaughter settle down, he feared he might have lost the will to live long ago.
