After listening to Qiu Yongfei's story, Jiang Ning stood up and prepared to leave the hospital.
Li Zhichun was shocked to hear that Jiang Ning was leaving so soon. "Leaving so soon? Why don't I treat you to a meal? Lingling has been watching videos about you on her phone these days. If she knew you were coming to City A, she would be very happy."
"Some other time." Jiang Ning raised his hand and glanced at the time on his watch.
It's still early for dinner, so there's nothing else to do if we continue staying here.
Seeing that the two were determined to leave, although Li Zhichun wanted to keep Jiang Ning, he was afraid that it would delay Jiang Ning's other things.
Li Zhichun turned around and took out an envelope from the drawer and handed it to Jiang Ning: "This is what I prepared a long time ago. It's a thank you gift for saving Lingling..."
Before Li Zhichun finished speaking, Jiang Ning looked down and knew what was in the envelope.
Jiang Ning's expression froze and she refused: "No, it was just a piece of cake that day. Besides, you've already paid me."
That day, they caught the two human traffickers outside the train station and rescued Li Ling, and the system gave Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou a reward.
Moreover, Li Zhichun contacted Jiang Ning afterwards and informed her of what happened in the Maternal and Child Health Hospital. Otherwise, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou would not have completed so many tasks at once today and received so many rewards from the system.
Jiang Ning was unwilling to accept any more money.
"Of course, of course, please keep it. I prepared it specially and I'm waiting to give it to you when you come to the hospital." Li Zhichun actively stuffed the envelope into Jiang Ning's hand.
However, just as he stuffed the envelope into Jiang Ning's hand, before Jiang Ning could raise her hand to refuse, another bony hand suddenly reached out.
His hands, which had never done any rough work, were not only slender but also white as jade. Even when he held something in his hands, people would involuntarily fix their eyes on his hands.
Seeing Qi Xingzhou's sudden action, Li Zhichun was stunned.
Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows but said nothing.
Then, the two of them watched Qi Xingzhou take the envelope and then put it back into Li Zhichun's pocket in the blink of an eye.
The attending physicians' white coats are all issued uniformly by the hospital. Not only do they have square pockets, but they are also particularly large.
While Li Zhichun was stunned, Qi Xingzhou put the envelope into the big pocket on the left side of Li Zhichun with a blank expression, and said, "Put it in your pocket, Ningning, don't take it."
Jiang Ning: “…” Puff.
Li Zhichun: “…”
The thick envelope fell into his pocket.
If this action was done by Jiang Ning, Li Zhichun would definitely take out the envelope from his pocket and stuff it into Jiang Ning's pocket immediately.
But facing Qi Xingzhou, who was a head taller than him and had cold eyes and brows... Li Zhichun couldn't do this.
It’s not that Qi Xingzhou is intimidating, but the feeling he gives is far less friendly and down-to-earth than Jiang Ning’s first impression.
In the end, it was Jiang Ning who spoke up to break the silence.
"Doctor Li, we're leaving first." Jiang Ning said with a smile.
In fact, Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised by Qi Xingzhou's action just now.
In the past, Qi Xingzhou would not have noticed these things, let alone taken the initiative to help.
Jiang Ning felt that it was all thanks to those little hedgehog apples.
Li Zhichun sighed secretly. He really wanted to thank Jiang Ning, but he missed the first reaction just now. It seemed a bit inappropriate to take the red envelope out of his pocket now. Li Zhichun could only nod and said, "I'll give it to you."
Li Zhichun's office is on the third floor.
There are many people in the hospital, the elevator is always busy, and there are many people waiting for the elevator.
Jiang Ning and the other two did not take the elevator, but chose to take the stairs.
Jiang Ning noticed that there seemed to be a lot more people in the hospital than when she first came in. Many people were holding up their phones, and it was unclear whether they were live streaming or recording videos. They did not look like patients or their families.
When walking into the lobby, Jiang Ning also saw several groups of reporters and behind-the-scenes staff carrying filming equipment and holding microphones, randomly interviewing passers-by in the hospital.
There was a hint of surprise in Jiang Ning's eyes.
It had not been that long since Cen Yufang and the others were taken away, not even half an hour, yet so many reporters, media and onlookers had arrived.
Jiang Ning suddenly realized that this matter might be more popular than she thought.
Jiang Ning pulled the mask on her face closer, lowered her head and followed behind Li Zhichun.
Just as the three were about to walk out of the hospital gate, they happened to meet a reporter holding a microphone.
When the reporter saw Jiang Ning and the other two, his eyes lit up as well. The next second, he handed the microphone to Li Zhichun, who was walking in front, and said in a clear voice: "Hello, we are reporters from Orange Entertainment. Can we spare a little time for an interview?"
As everyone knows, the people just taken away by the police in City A are the hospital's president, vice president, department heads and a series of other staff members. Now all the staff members in this hospital are avoiding outside media like them.
What good luck he had! He met a doctor on duty as soon as he arrived!
It shouldn't be too much to get some inside information from an insider, right? As soon as the reporter finished speaking, the camera immediately turned towards Li Zhichun.
Li Zhichun stopped involuntarily.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning behind him quickly pulled Qi Xingzhou and ran away.
The reporter was only focused on Li Zhichun's white coat and completely ignored the two people behind him.
Jiang Ning secretly felt lucky that during this morning's live broadcast, she and Qi Xingzhou appeared very rarely in front of the camera and did not leave a deep impression on netizens.
Otherwise, she and Qi Xingzhou would have been recognized by now.
The scene of being surrounded by the masses at the Wangjiang District Third People's Hospital two days ago was still vivid in Jiang Ning's mind, and he didn't want to see it happen again.
She gestured to Li Zhichun, then pulled Qi Xingzhou away quickly.
She originally wanted to grab Qi Xingzhou's sleeve, but she grabbed Qi Xingzhou's hand by mistake.
This was not the first time that Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou had come out to do missions. Qi Xingzhou had long since learned how to quietly follow behind Jiang Ning and be his big tail.
When Jiang Ning suddenly grabbed his hand, Qi Xingzhou, who had been expressionless, suddenly froze.
The 1.80-meter-tall man was easily pulled away after Jiang Ning exerted a little force.
He lowered his head and stared at the two people's holding hands, feeling the warm body temperature of Jiang Ning from the back of his hand and the unfamiliar touch of skin against skin. Even his breathing couldn't help but become as light as possible.
Jiang Ning's hands seemed to have magic. A tingling sensation gradually spread from the place where their hands were held to every part of his body. The tingling sensation made him feel something was wrong with his body. He walked lightly and his feet felt weak, as if he was walking on clouds.
After they walked a hundred meters away and Jiang Ning let go of his hand, Qi Xingzhou himself hadn't reacted yet, but the hand that had let go reacted faster than his brain, and the slender fingers couldn't help but move towards Jiang Ning, but only caught a ball of air. (End of this chapter)
