After seeing Aunt Wang off, Li Chu returned to the ward and told the deputy director who had come with him earlier, as well as another staff member, to go back as well.

“Vice Dean Li, how about we let Xiao Zhao stay?” The deputy director pointed to another person. “You can have him take care of anything he needs.”

"Don't worry, there's no shortage of staff at the hospital."

After the people from the General Office left, only Li Chu and his wife, Secretary Liu and Zhang Jianshe, and Uncle Wang's special nurse Xu Ying remained in the ward.

Seeing her husband sitting on the sofa with a dark expression, Ding Qiunan felt a little scared, but she also knew that she couldn't be too angry about what had happened today.

"Jianshe, I won't say anything about you. Your father will take care of you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianshe's face was full of bitterness. He knew that he couldn't escape this beating no matter what, and he just hoped that it wouldn't affect his future work.

"Secretary Liu, as a work secretary, don't you know when you should arrange for the leader to rest?"

Secretary Liu was about to say something when Li Chu raised his hand to stop him: "You don't need to explain anything to me. You're not under my management. I just hope you can remember that."

At this point, Li Chu pointed to the inner room: "There's not just a leader lying in there, he's also an elderly man in his seventies. If something were to happen to him, I don't know if you could handle it."

Secretary Liu's heart sank lower and lower. He knew that he was in grave danger this time, and being able to return to the secretariat would be the best outcome.

Although the person in front of me is just a vice president of a hospital and seems to have no authority over me, even if I work for another ten years by the side of the leaders, I probably still can't compare to this person.

Their relationship is closer than that of father and son.

Secretary Liu opened his mouth with some difficulty, but his throat was so dry that he couldn't utter a single word.

"Xu Ying, I'm asking you, where is the pill I prescribed for the commander?"

"I..." Xu Ying opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. She never expected that she could feel this just by taking a pulse.

"Are you planning to say it here, or do you want to say it after you've been taken away?"

Now even a fool could understand Li Chu's words. The group stared at Xu Ying in shock, wondering if she had gone mad.

Zhang Jianshe had already taken the gun into his hands.

Seeing that Xu Ying still didn't want to talk, Li Chu said to Zhang Jianshe, "Jianshe, call your bureau and have them send someone over to take Xu Ying away."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ying collapsed to the ground and hurriedly said, "Deputy Team Leader Li, I'll talk, I'll talk."

Zhang Jianshe had just walked up to the phone when he stopped what he was doing and turned to look at it.

Li Chu didn't speak, but just looked at Xu Ying, waiting for her to give an explanation.

Ding Qiunan stood up from the sofa, walked over and left the door to the inner room slightly ajar.

Secretary Liu was stunned. He couldn't believe that his boss's fainting from exhaustion had led to such a shocking incident.

He really wished he hadn't ended up in this house. Now was not the time to be a bystander; if things went wrong, he would become the one being gossiped about.

“Deputy Team Leader Li, I just… I just thought the medicine you prescribed for the leaders was good, and my father’s health isn’t good either, so I took a few pills back for him to take.”

After hearing her words, Li Chu did not say anything, but just squinted at Xu Ying, who was slumped on the ground, making her sweat profusely.

After a long pause, Li Chu finally spoke, "Jianshe, make a call and have someone come and take her away."

Xu Ying panicked immediately: "Deputy Team Leader Li, I'm telling the truth!"

"Bullshit!" Li Chu slapped the armrest of the sofa and stood up. He walked over to Xu Ying and squatted down. "Do you think you're stupid, or do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I learned traditional Chinese medicine for nothing, or that you learned nursing for nothing? If you're going to try to fool me, at least try to make me fall asleep."

Having been together for almost twenty years, Ding Qiunan had never seen her husband so enraged. She was a little scared at the moment, feeling as if the air pressure in the house had dropped and she could hardly breathe.

Li Chu reached out and grabbed Xu Ying by the collar, lifting her up like a little chick.

"Xu Ying, you've been a special nurse for quite a while now, I don't believe you don't know that medicine for regulating the body can't be taken randomly, otherwise it could be fatal. You dare to give that medicine to your father? Are you kidding me? Believe me, I'll have someone bring your father here, and I can tell whether he took it or not just by taking his pulse."

After saying that, he turned to look at Zhang Jianshe next to the telephone: "What are you standing there for? Why aren't you making a call?"

"Okay, okay, Uncle Li, I'll call right now."

Li Chu loosened his grip, and Xu Ying slipped to the ground like a noodle.

"You don't need to say anything now, I don't want to know anymore."

Looking at Zhang Jianshe, who had already hung up the phone, he said, "Keep a close eye on him."

"yes"

"Secretary Liu, come in with me."

After saying that, he went into the inner room. Ding Qiunan hesitated for a moment, then followed her husband in.

After Secretary Liu entered, he closed the door behind him and went to Li Chu, who was standing next to the hospital bed. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Secretary Liu, I believe you understood what I just said. After Xu Ying is taken away, have Jianshe drive you back to the central headquarters to find Director Chen Fangguo and explain this matter to him in detail."

"I understand, Vice Dean Li."

Li Chu raised his hand and patted Secretary Liu on the shoulder. This pat reassured Secretary Liu that this man hadn't given up on him yet, and at least he still had a chance.

Seeing that Li Chu was no longer willing to say anything, Secretary Liu walked out of the inner room and closed the door behind him.

Only Uncle Wang, who was fast asleep, and Li Chu and his wife remained in the house.

Ding Qiunan walked timidly to her husband's side and gently took his hand.

Li Chu, who was deep in thought, was startled by her action and turned to look at his wife.

"I'm sorry, darling, I scared you."

Ding Qiunan slowly shook her head, tightening her grip a little more.

"After you get off work, go back to our house first to feed the dog, then go to Aunt Wang's place. You can stay with her there tonight. Aunt Wang is a little too emotional today, and I'm a bit worried."

"I see."

"Don't tell her about what just happened. When you leave tomorrow morning, find an excuse to bring back the medicine I prescribed for her so I can take a look."

"Okay, is there anything else you need to tell me?"

That's all.

Li Chu pulled his hand away from her grasp, put his arm around her shoulder, and let her lean against him.

The room fell silent for a moment.

After a while, the sound of voices outside and a knock on the door rang out. Li Chu then lowered his arm from his wife's shoulder.
