11 Mysterious Boy
Xiong Zhi left the police station. Once inside the car, she called the driver's attention.
"Let's go to the Guangdong Hospital."
The driver looked at Xiong Zhi strangely.
First, police station. Now, hospital...
What next?
Cemetery?!
But the driver had no right to ask and satisfy his curiosity. He thought it was strange. Their Young Miss had no friends. She never left their house for sixteen years to socialize. That was why he was very curious, yet thrilled, at where they were going.
When they arrived at the police station earlier, at first he thought it was simply around the area where their young miss would go.
That was why he was so shocked when Xiong Zhi entered the police station!
He had many wild thoughts.
Imagine his horror when he heard Xiong Zhi say that they would go to a hospital.
A hospital!
Who was she going to visit? Why? Is it connected to the police station matter?
The driver had gone wild with his imagination while driving.
They arrived at hospital.
Xiong Zhi walked to the reception.
"Can I get the room number where Mrs. Xiao Ping is staying? I am her granddaughter's friend," Xiong Zhi said.
"Can I get your ID please? Just for confirmation, you can get it once you log-out later. And please sign this," the receptionist said while handing out the log-in record.
Xiong Zhi gave another fake ID. It was different from earlier. In this ID, everything was fake. Her name on the ID was Bai Qin, twenty years old. The picture was, of course, hers.
After some reminders from the nurse, she finally got the room number. She thanked the nurse and headed off to look for the room.
462C.
Seeing the room number, she entered.
What she saw was four bed occupied by patients. She looked at the bed labeled C.
There on the bed was an old woman in her seventies. She had a respirator on her mouth.
Once Xiong Zhi saw this scene, she knew she was not too late yet. She was relieved.
She went to the nurse who was currently talking to one of the patients.
"Excuse me, can I see the doctor of the patient on bed C?"
The nurse look at her.
"Are you her relative? Dr. Beiquing is the one in charge, but he is in the VIP area right now. "
"It's urgent. I think my grandmother needs immediate surgery. My cousin said that today grandma is supposed to get surgery. If not, I'm afraid she is not going to hold on. Her condition is worsening. Can you please help a life here?" Xiong Zhi said, saying half-truths.
It was true that the old woman, Mrs. Xiao Ping, needed a surgery as soon as possible. But not today, the true relative was not here. She could not just decide.
The second reason why she needed to see the doctor right now was because she did not want to waste time. There were many things she needed to do.
The nurse gasped. She did not know that it was such a life-threatening situation.
She looked at the old woman in bed C. The respirator in her mouth had been there since the old woman came here. But she was never awake.
The nurse got scared. She was a nurse. If she did not do anything and the patient died because of her carelessness, she would die of guilt!
"Err… Okay, Miss. Please wait, I will notify Mr. Beiquing's assistant," the nurse said hurriedly.
She walked out of the room and ran frantically.
Xiong Zhi followed her secretly.
When the running nurse saw another nurse pushing a wheelchair with an old man on, she called out to her,"Mi'er!"
The nurse who was called stopped and turned around.
"Qann'er, what is it again? Is there another patient looking for Dr. Beiquing? I told you he is in the VIP area right now. Not just him, all head doctors in every department together with Director Yang are in the VIP area right now. Can you not tell that it is very important? They can't be disturbed," Mi said impatiently. She was especially exhausted as she had been repeatedly asked by patients and nurses of the whereabouts of the head doctors.
She really regretted that she followed Dr. Beiquing earlier to the VIP floor. She was the only one who entered the VIP area and saw the situation inside. Hence, all of them were asking her.
Well, she saw a thing or two, but she did not even grasp the situation because Director Yang had dismissed her.
Thinking about the scene she saw earlier, she could not help but fall in a daze.
"Mi'er, a life is a stake here! You only need to call Dr. Beiquing. He has an operation scheduled today," Qann said pleadingly.
"If I disturb them then my life will be at stake here! Maybe it can wait until later. It will probably only take two hours," Mi said. She was afraid she might lose her job if she went up there.
"It was only one doctor, there are so many of them. Do they need all of them?" Qann could not help but complain.
"It's VIP, my dear. But I can guess it should more than that. Our hospital favors VIP's for years. Still, Director Yang had never led a horde of head doctors to the VIP before. Usually, only five doctors at most. But today, he brought all of the heads! The VIP patient must be a really big shot!" Mi exclaimed with enthusiasm.
"Who is he? An old man? Maybe a CEO," Qann asked.
Mi looked around. She did not see anyone. She leaned closer to Qann and said in a lower voice:
"Not an old man, but a very beautiful boy. He is a teenager. When I first saw him, I thought I saw an angel. He was truly very beautiful. Even more than I am!" Mi said dreamingly.
"Really? Is he more beautiful than our idol, Jian Mu?" Qann asked. She knew that Mi only considered their idol Jian Mu as the most beautiful man in the world. She was really curious about what Mi's answer would be.
"Yup! If you saw him, you'd definitely think he was better than our Jian Mu ten times over! Ah, sorry, my husband Jian Mu, I'm still loyal to you, I was just attracted by a true beauty for a bit—" Mi said to the empty air like she was talking to her idol.
Qann did not hear the proclamation of Mi's love to their idol. Jian Mu was a celebrity, the number one guy whom girls wanted to sleep with, the number one in the list of the most gorgeous men. In short, to them, there was no one comparable to his looks. Yet she just heard Mi say that the boy in the VIP room was 10 times better than their Jian Mu in terems of looks!
Qann's eyes sparkled. She could not imagine the boy's looks.
She really wanted to have a glimpse of him. She was already imagining the beautiful, mysterious boy smile sweetly at her. Imagining the scene, she smiled dreamingly like a lunatic.
The old man between them almost vomited blood. If he was not paralyzed, he would leave this place immediately.
Seeing the two nurses immersed in their own world, he could not help but curse.
Was I in a mental institution? These people here were crazy! I want to go home!
Unfortunately for him, he could not speak so no one could hear his cries.
