Chapter 131 Don't be afraid, we will always be together.

It's a pity we won't be able to see it tonight.

As soon as the two returned to the apartment, Su Wanwan received a call from the hospital saying that there had been an unexpected accident that night, and several emergency surgeries needed to be performed. There was a shortage of manpower, and everyone who could go back had to go back.

Xie Yanning took Su Wanwan to the hospital, where everything was in a flurry of activity.

"I'm going up first."

Su Wanwan only had time to say a few words before she went inside as quickly as possible.

Xie Yanning glanced outside and saw several ambulances rushing in.

He could even see bloodstains on the person who was taken off the stretcher.

He took out his phone; the latest news report had already been published.

It has rained recently, and the roads are slippery. A multi-vehicle rear-end collision occurred on the highway. The extent of injuries and fatalities is currently unknown, and emergency rescue efforts are underway.

Xie Yanning sighed softly.

Su Wanwan is probably going to be busy tonight.

As he expected, Su Wanwan arrived at the hospital late at night and followed the surgeon into the operating room, where she attended three surgeries that night.

As a large hospital, Su Wanwan is used to such emergencies, but she is still exhausted.

When I came out, my legs were almost not my own anymore, even after chugging down two bottles of Red Bull.

As soon as I entered the office, I smelled the aroma of food.

After a long night of work, it would be a lie to say I wasn't hungry.

Nan Sisi waved to her, "Come over here, there's food."

Su Wanwan looked at the sumptuous breakfast and swallowed hard: "Who kind person sent this?"

“A family member surnamed Xie,” Dr. Li said casually, taking a steamed dumpling into his mouth.

Inside was fresh shrimp meat, tender and smooth, with a natural sweetness from the shrimp itself. It was so delicious that Dr. Li was moved to tears.

Nan Sisi was scalded and her mouth was watering. "Professor Xie is truly my savior."

Su Wanwan picked out a seafood porridge. When the delicious porridge slid into her mouth, it really felt like she came back to life.

She took out her phone and saw a WeChat message Xie Yanning had sent her an hour earlier.

[Xie Yanning: I've parked your car in the parking lot. You can drive it back after work.]

I sent her a picture, afraid she wouldn't be able to find it.

Xie Yanning has to give a report today, so he might not have time to pick her up.

Su Wanwan smiled and replied to him while eating.

Thank you, Professor Xie, for the treat.

Whenever Su Wan worked the night shift, there would always be some kind of food in the office. After this, everyone in the office who were indebted to her would say, "Dr. Su, someone like Professor Xie is one in a million. You can't let him down."

Su Wanwan said to Xie Yanning, "You know what? Everyone in the office is on your side now. If I were to abandon you, they might just drag me right in front of you."

Xie Yanning pulled her onto his lap, saying, "This is to give myself an extra layer of insurance."

Su Wanwan thought to herself: I wouldn't dare abandon them either.

Seeing her expression, Nan Sisi pretended to sigh and said, "Alright, alright, look at you, so lovesick. You miss your Professor Xie after just a short separation?"

“You don’t have a boyfriend, you don’t understand,” Su Wanwan said.

Nan Sisi was filled with grief and indignation, and then ate an extra steamed bun.

Su Wan had a lot of patients yesterday and still had many things to do, so she couldn't get off work so quickly.

She sent it, and Xie Yanning replied shortly after.

When do I get off work?

I don't know, don't worry about me, I'll go back by myself later.

Xie Yanning wasn't entirely at ease knowing that Su Wanwan had been busy all day and still had to drive back.

He told Su Wanwan his closing time and asked her to let him know if she was still there by then, so he could come pick her up.

Su Wanwan didn't understand why Xie Yanning was so insistent on arranging her commute to and from get off work.

It's just a short distance; it would only take her about ten minutes to walk back, let alone with a car. The speed limit in this area is 60 km/h, so driving back would only take five or six minutes. She wouldn't be driving while fatigued.

However, Xie Yanning was very persistent.

Su Wanwan thought, let's just treat it as Professor Xie's training.

After quickly finishing her meal, Su Wanwan went to check on patients and update their medical records. During this time, a patient suddenly experienced an emergency, triggering an epileptic seizure for unknown reasons, which kept them busy for a while.

By the time Su Wanwan was able to get off work, it was already noon.

Su Wanwan stretched her aching back.

I've decided to go back and get a good 12 hours of sleep.

Xie Yanning went to a research institute today to give a report. The department head wanted him to stay for dinner. Normally, Xie Yanning wouldn't have said no.

He was just feeling a bit uneasy today, so he smiled and said he had some data to get back to school.

Seeing how dedicated Xie Yanning was to her job, it was difficult for the others to stay.

Xie Yanning got into the car and drove to Su Wanwan's hospital.

He even sent Su Wanwan a voice message, "I'm going to the hospital now, let's go back together."

Xie Yanning was half an hour's drive from Su Wanwan, and Su Wanwan had already packed up and was ready to go back.

She wanted to say no, but Xie Yanning was always a bit stubborn about certain things.

Let's just wait, it won't make a difference if it takes a little longer.

I can also have a meal with Xie Yanning.

She texted Xie Yanning, "Okay, okay, I'll wait for you at the hospital."

Judging by Xie Yanning's timing, Su Wanwan slowly walked to the square outside the hospital.

There are many evergreen trees and shrubs that are almost as tall as a person planted here. They are arranged in a pleasing and orderly manner.

Su Wanwan took out her phone when it rang.

It is a family group.

Inside, his aunt was nagging about how Su Shili still hadn't found a girlfriend, and even Su Wanwan had a boyfriend. She wondered when he, as her older brother, would find her a daughter-in-law.

Su Shili tagged Su Wanwan for a moment.

[Quickly bring your boyfriend back to divert attention!]

Su Wanwan smiled as she looked at it.

I think we should find some time to take Xie Yanning back to formally meet his family.

She was so engrossed in watching that she didn't notice her surroundings.

A startled cry came from nearby, "Wanwan, watch out!"

It belongs to Xie Yanning.

For the first time, Su Wanwan heard a deep fear in his voice, and she subconsciously looked up.

A man, almost a head taller than her, suddenly appeared in front of her, a silent, sinister smile on his lips. He swiftly drew a gleaming dagger from his waist and plunged it into her neck without hesitation.

The goal was to kill with a single blow.

Su Wanwan opened her eyes wide and dodged the fatal blow in 0.01 seconds. Relying on her good physical fitness, she leaned back slightly. The sharp knife did not pierce her carotid artery, but pierced below her right collarbone.

"Wanwan!"

The intense pain made it difficult for Su Wanwan to hear clearly, but she could vaguely see Xie Yanning running towards her.

The man, failing with his first strike, pulled out a sharp knife, which likely pierced an artery, causing blood to gush out.

“Don’t be afraid, we will always be together,” the man said.
