Chapter 499 Who did this?

Xia Luoluo dared not admit to such a thing casually; if someone overheard it again, she would be in big trouble.

Having learned her lesson, Xia Luoluo became much more cautious. Since it was Zhang Lina who did it, even if an investigation were to be conducted, it would ultimately lead to Zhang Lina, and would have nothing to do with her.

"Luo Luo, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise even I can't protect you." Xia Wanwan suddenly became very angry.

Xia Luoluo gave a forced smile: "Don't worry, sister, I'm not that stupid. However, since the hospital has lost power, the operating room definitely can't perform surgeries normally. If I'm not mistaken, Qiu Shiming will probably cause trouble. We are family with Ning Xi, and staying here might affect us."

“We can’t run now.” Xia Wanwan rejected her suggestion and said, “Li Yancheng has already heard what you said today. If we run away right after this happens, we’ll be highly suspicious. Go to the operating room and wait outside. Even if we can’t help, we can’t just run away.”

Xia Luoluo's lips twitched: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? What if something happens to Qiu Shiming's daughter, and he takes it out on us in a fit of rage?"

"No, with Nan Xiao here, Qiu Shiming wouldn't dare to hurt us even if he had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard." Xia Wanwan said firmly.

Xia Luoluo wanted to run away: "But I think I should go back first."

"Since the hospital power outage has nothing to do with you, why are you running so fast? It just makes us look guilty," Xia Wanwan interrupted her.

Xia Luoluo was genuinely feeling guilty. She didn't want to stay here, but seeing Xia Wanwan's dazed expression, she couldn't force Xia Wanwan to leave with her. She gripped Xia Wanwan's wheelchair tightly and forced herself to walk towards the operating room.

In fact, Xia Luoluo was more panicked than anyone else.

What if they run into the Qiu family outside the operating room and they take out their anger on them?

When the time comes, we must shift all the blame onto Xia Ningxi.

After making up her mind, Xia Luoluo gritted her teeth and quickened her pace.

Just as she had guessed, it was pitch black outside the operating room, and the lights in the corridor were all off. A dense crowd of people paced anxiously back and forth in the corridor. Only when someone turned on a flashlight could they vaguely see some of the path.

Just as Xia Luoluo had guessed, the Qiu family was as anxious as ants on a hot pan!

Qiu Shiming burst into a tirade: "What on earth is going on? How can such an important place as a hospital have its power cut off!"

The dean said, "We're already getting people to investigate, and the power will be back on soon."

"How fast is 'soon'? My daughter is still in the operating room. If anything happens to her, can you take responsibility?" Qiu Shiming roared angrily.

The dean could only keep apologizing.

No matter how much the hospital director apologized, he couldn't appease Qiu Shiming. He paced back and forth anxiously, saying, "What's the use of apologies! All I want is for my daughter to be safe and sound. It's outrageous that such a large hospital like yours could make such a basic mistake!"

"You have to give us an explanation! You have to give us an explanation!"

Qiu Shiming was so angry that he almost got into a fight with someone.

Xia Luoluo watched this scene from afar, secretly chuckling to herself, but she dared not show it too obviously.

“Mr. Qiu, Xia Ningxi is, after all, the chief surgeon of the capital city. Her abilities are outstanding and cannot be compared to ordinary people. Don’t worry, this surgery will not go wrong,” Xia Luoluo reassured him.

Qiu Shiming glanced at the two of them, gritted his teeth, and asked, "What are you two doing here?"

Xia Wanwan: "Ning Xi is my sister. We were worried about her having such a big operation, so we came to check on her."

"Hmph, just came to take a look?" Qiu Shiming sneered. He had heard plenty of stories about this family's messy affairs.

Xia Wanwan reassured him, "Please rest assured, Mr. Qiu, I was cured by Xia Ningxi. I am sitting here in front of you perfectly fine now. Your daughter will definitely be alright. Please give the doctors some more time."

Qiu Shiming remained silent, his face ashen.

The dean readily agreed, "Yes, it's just a power outage, it's not a big deal, everything will be fine."

"It's pitch black here, there aren't even any lights, and you're telling me it's okay? Can your doctors perform surgery in complete darkness?" Qiu Shiming questioned.

Xia Luoluo: "Dr. Xia is so amazing, maybe she really does have this ability."

Qiu Shiming was so angry his eyes turned green: "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Xia Luoluo sneered inwardly. Anyway, it was Xia Ningxi who was going to have the surgery. If it didn't go well, the Qiu family would be the ones to cause trouble for Xia Ningxi. As for outsiders like them, all they had to do was fan the flames and praise Xia Ningxi to death. Who told Xia Ningxi to be so popular?

If she's so capable, then let her perform surgery in the dark! If she doesn't do a good job and something happens to the patient, then it's perfect for her to pack her bags and leave.

Xia Luoluo had planned all of this in her mind.

Xia Wanwan was very angry and grabbed her hand, signaling her to shut up.

The hospital director also felt that Xia Luoluo was trying to flatter Xia Ningxi to the point of ruining her. After glancing at her thoughtfully, he said to Qiu Shiming, "Brother Qiu, don't worry about the surgery. Although the hospital is experiencing a power outage, we have a backup power source."

The operating rooms and intensive care units have backup power supplies. Only the public corridors and elevators are without power. The medical equipment won't be affected, and the operating rooms will be fine. Don't worry.

"Why didn't you say something so important sooner?" Qiu Shiming, burning with anger, was stunned.

Dean: "You didn't even ask, you just kept throwing a tantrum."

Qiu Shiming: "You should have told me even though I didn't ask!"

Dean: "You didn't even give me a chance to speak."

"Okay, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten so angry. As long as everything is alright in the operating room, that's all that matters." Qiu Shiming breathed a sigh of relief.

He stopped making a fuss.

The Qiu family breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that the operating room had a normal power supply.

Xia Luoluo, who was watching the commotion, was not happy at all after hearing the dean's words. She was stunned and never expected that the hospital would have a backup power supply!

Just as Xia Luoluo was feeling down, Lu Qi rushed over.

"Young Master Huo, the cause of the power outage has been found, and a suspect has been apprehended," Lu Qi reported.

Qiu Shiming's eyes widened: "What suspicious person? You mean someone deliberately caused the hospital to lose power?"

“That’s right.” Lu Qi nodded.

Qiu Shiming roared angrily, "Who is it! Who is this damned, vicious bastard!"

Lu Qi glanced at Xia Luoluo.

Xia Luoluo's face turned pale instantly: "W-Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xia Wanwan also noticed the ill intent in Lu Qi's eyes and immediately said, "Lu Qi, just say what you've found out directly. Don't beat around the bush, or people will misunderstand."
