She certainly wouldn't tell the young doctor named Xie the truth.
Xie Xinyu frowned deeply.
Both of them seemed wary of him.
He knew the reason why Xi Chunzhi fell into a coma. She had lost something called inner elixir.
He's seen a lot of them lately.
His surname is Xie and he is a member of the Xie family. He joined the medical department to represent the interests of the Xie family.
The Wells family is looking for the inner elixir, so how can the Xie family just sit there and wait for death? Many people in the medical department are like him. They are doctors on the surface, but secretly they are studying things like the inner elixir. They have different divisions of labor. His main responsibility is how to heal people who have lost their inner elixir.
Xi Chunzhi is the first person who can wake up after losing his inner elixir. He is of great research value, but unfortunately these two people seem to be hiding something from him.
Forget it, he can just watch the surveillance video later.
Anyway, the surveillance in the ward covers 360 degrees with no blind spots.
"You are in good condition now and your vital signs are very stable. You should rest well first. I will check you later. If the condition remains good, you can be discharged from the hospital." Xie Xinyu said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, doctor." Tu Ran said politely.
"It's not hard, not hard." Xie Xinyu said, turned around and left, closing the door of the ward considerately.
He went directly to the office on the first floor, turned on the computer and pulled up the surveillance footage from 5:15.
It was not long after he left that Xi Chunzhi's physical indicators on the instrument fluctuated for the first time.
In the picture, Tu Ran was sitting on a chair beside the bed, with one hand supporting her forehead and the other hand on the chair handle, while Xi Chunzhi was lying on the bed. Both of them maintained their respective postures without any changes.
He scrolled back the progress bar and it was always the same picture. If Tu Ran hadn't blinked every once in a while, he would have thought he was seeing a frozen picture.
When it was almost six o'clock, Xi Chunzhi's eyelashes on the bed suddenly moved, and then Tu Ran stood up and called him. He knew everything that happened afterwards.
How could this be? Xie Xinyu was puzzled, propping his chin with one hand and watching the surveillance video in a loop.
Could it be that nothing really happened? Did he just wake up naturally? He subconsciously never doubted the authenticity of the surveillance.
In fact, the surveillance content has been processed by Ling. The picture Xie Xinyu sees now was moved from the surveillance picture of Tu Ran in front of Xi Chunzhi's bed a few days ago. Ling also made some minor editing to make the previous and next pictures more coherent, so Xie Xinyu couldn't find it.
Xie Xinyu gave up, leaned back in his chair, looked at the ceiling and thought about the reason.
In the ward, Tu Ran raised the head of the bed at Xi Chunzhi's request, and Xi Chunzhi leaned on the bed.
"Are you hungry?"
Xi Chunzhi shook his head.
"Would you like some water?" Tu Ran really couldn't find a topic to start with.
"I don't want to drink."
"Why don't you lie down and sleep for a while?" Tu Ran asked.
Xi Chunzhi: "...I have been sleeping for a long time."
Tu Ran: Okay...
Xi Chunzhi kept staring at Tu Ran, and her dry lips moved. She had a lot of questions to ask Tu Ran, but she knew there were surveillance cameras in the room, so she could only swallow her words.
"I want to be discharged from the hospital." That was all she could say in the end. Tu Ran glanced at the hidden camera in the corner of the room. Ling was looking at her.
There was no need for her to avoid Ling in her conversation with Xi Chunzhi. Ling knew everything, so this was not a big deal.
But she couldn't let Xi Chunzhi know about Zero's existence.
Their conversation had to take place in an environment that avoided Zero in Xi Chunzhi's cognition.
"Once the doctor confirms that you have recovered, we will discharge you from the hospital."
"I know my body and I'm fine now."
Xi Chunzhi clenched his hands, full of strength.
Since she took the inner elixir, her strength has been gradually recovering, and now it has almost recovered.
Tu Ran looked at the time. It was already 6:25. She had to rush to Pandalin District at 7 o'clock.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7pm," Tu Ran stood up. "I still have to go patrol the Pandalin District. You can rest here for another 24 hours. When I come tomorrow and you've finished your physical examination, we'll be discharged from the hospital."
Although Xi Chunzhi didn't know why Tu Ran went to Pandalin District, she didn't ask much. She must have missed a lot of things happening outside after lying here for so many days. She nodded and said, "Go ahead, and be safe."
"Well." Tu Ran asked again, "Do you want to lie down or sit?"
"Sit down. I want to sit for a while."
"Well, if you feel uncomfortable, press the bell and the nurses and doctors will be here soon," Tu Ran instructed. "The nurse will also be here in a while. She will bring you food and help you wipe your body. She has been taking care of you since you were in a coma for so many days. Ask her to buy you whatever you want to eat. It's all included in the salary, so you don't need to save money."
Looking at Tu Ran who was nagging, Xi Chunzhi laughed and urged her, "I know, I know. Hurry up and leave. You're going to be late."
Tu Ran looked at the time and as expected, she was late.
After making sure there was nothing else to remind her, she turned and left.
After taking the suspended tram to the Pandalin area, Tu Ran ran to the meeting room of the executive department. As expected, he was ten minutes late.
What gave Tu Ran a heart attack was that as soon as she opened the door, she saw Dead Fish Eyes Dangdang sitting at the top of the conference room, tapping on the table and lecturing the pioneers below. The pioneers below all had indignant looks on their faces, but they were holding back their anger and not letting it show.
Seeing Tu Ran rushing in, Dead Fish Eyes instantly changed its target and rushed towards Tu Ran with full firepower, "You are ten minutes late! Do you know how much time these ten minutes will delay?! What if a genetic monster appears in these ten minutes, can you rush to deal with it in time? How many residents of Pandalin District will be in danger of their lives in the meantime, can you afford it!!"
He was talking with saliva flying everywhere, but Tu Ran walked calmly to her seat, grabbed a chair and sat down, not taking him seriously at all.
Xi Chunzhi woke up today. She was in a good mood and didn't want to argue with him.
Besides, what's the point of arguing with a dying person?
Her appearance made Diao Hongzhi so angry that he almost got a stitch in the side, and his face turned as purple and red as a ripe eggplant.
"Tu Ran! Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you are a pioneer. Aren't you just a..."
Tu Ran rubbed his ears in annoyance. Just at this moment, the communicator rang twice. He clicked on it and saw that it was a mission message.
Tu Ran immediately stood up and interrupted Diao Hongzhi, "We have a mission, let's go."
Without even looking at Diao Hongzhi, she kicked away the chair, pushed open the door of the conference room and walked out.
Behind her, the other pioneers immediately followed her out of the meeting room.
They were already tired of hearing it and wished they could be ten minutes late.
