Chapter 15 Go Back
◎Is the patient named Song Tian still in the hospital?◎
Gu Nian stood up and walked to Xie Han, lowered his head and asked him, "Someone you know?"
Xie Han nodded expressionlessly, "Yeah." But he didn't mean to introduce the other person's identity.
Gu Nian raised an eyebrow in surprise. This group of people were dressed in the same uniform and looked very aggressive. They didn't look like ordinary people, but more like skilled martial artists. Judging from the way they addressed her, they were probably bodyguards. It seemed like she might have actually saved a wealthy young master.
Gu Nian wasn't one to be curious about other people's privacy. Since Xie Han didn't take the initiative to introduce her, she pretended not to know. She simply asked, "Are you going back with them?"
After hearing Gu Nian's question, Xie Han looked up at her and did not speak for a long time.
The bodyguard next to him stepped forward and reminded him, "Young Master, the master is waiting for you at home. It's getting late, let me take you away." As he said that, he tried to push the wheelchair, but failed. His wrist was grabbed by Gu Nian, and the two of them were deadlocked in mid-air.
Gu Nian smiled and said, "Your young master hasn't said anything yet. This isn't a good idea."
The bodyguard frowned, and finally took his hand back first, but still insisted: "Please don't make things difficult for me, sir." At the same time, the other bodyguards who followed behind surrounded him.
Gu Nian glanced at the crowd gathered around him, reached out and took out his phone, and said to himself: "The military said just now that if there are any problems, I can contact them at any time. I think there are indeed some problems."
The bodyguard's expression changed slightly, and for the first time he looked directly at Gu Nian, "Miss Gu, thank you so much for saving our young master this time. The Xie family will never forget this favor. But please don't stop us from taking the young master back."
When the other party called out his last name, Gu Nian's expression instantly darkened.
The bodyguard said, "Miss Gu, please don't misunderstand. We learned some information in advance before coming here to ensure the safety of the young master. We have no other intentions."
Gu Nian gave him a cold look.
Xie Han said at this time: "I will go back with you."
He turned to Gu Nian and said, "They were sent by my father to take me home. You don't have to think too much about it."
Gu Nian frowned: "Are you sure?"
Xie Han: "Sure."
The bodyguard took out a business card and handed it to Gu Nian. "The Xie family's thank-you gift will be delivered later. In addition, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, Miss Gu, you can come to us with this business card. The Xie family will repay their kindness."
After saying that, the group took Xie Han away.
Gu Nian held the business card tightly, but she didn't feel happy. The other party seemed grateful, but in reality, he was condescending, even his thanks were given in a condescending tone. She glanced down at the business card and felt that the company name on it looked familiar. Xie Family, Xie Group. Could it be the fabulously wealthy Xie family?
But if it really was that Xie family, why would Xie Han be here alone?
Just as he was thinking, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. It was Gu Bai calling. Gu Nian casually put the business card in his pocket and answered the phone. "Didn't you say you'd be back in the evening? Why are you calling again?"
Her mother's hearty laughter echoed from the other side, followed by Gu Bai's shout: "Mom said we should go out to dinner tonight! We've already reserved a table at the Marriott Hotel in the city center, you can just go over there!"
Gu Nian asked, "What are you doing? Why does it sound so chaotic?"
Gu Bai chuckled and said, "You'll know when the time comes. Okay, I'm busy now. You'd better come early in the evening. Don't be late for this big day."
Gu Nian was confused as she looked at the hung up phone, but she didn't think much about it. Their parents loved to eat and enjoy life, and they would basically find a reason to go out to eat every once in a while.
Coincidentally, the Marriott Hotel was owned by the Xie Group. She wondered if they could offer a discount, but she would have to ask. After all, it was a life-saving favor, so she had to take advantage of it.
Gu Nian saw that it was almost time, so he took a taxi to the hotel.
On the way, she received a call from Zhong Xingchi, who said that her case had been reported and if there were no problems on her side, she could report to her new unit in three days. Gu Nian agreed.
After more than half an hour, the car stopped.
Gu Nian called to inquire about the location of the private room, then went over there. At the door, he met the waiter who was delivering the wine. Gu Nian asked, "Do you want more wine in this room?"
The waiter smiled and said, "You've booked the largest private room in our hotel. This wine is complimentary."
Gu Nian suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
From childhood to adulthood, from kindergarten to elementary school, elementary school to junior high school, junior high school to high school, and until the college entrance examination, their family has always had a tradition, which is to hold a graduation banquet.
A happy day...
Gu Nian took the wine, thanked the waiter with a heavy heart, and then pushed open the door of the box.
“Surprise!”
"Congratulations to Nian Nian on her promotion and salary increase! Your salary is getting higher every year!"
"Our Nian Nian is truly amazing. She has achieved such success in her career at such a young age. It's truly remarkable!"
"That's right, don't you see whose daughter she is? Our Gu family's children are awesome!"
"Stop standing there! You must have been working hard lately. Eat something good to replenish your energy."
Gu Nian raised her head, smiled, and began to call people: "Aunt and uncle, second aunt and second uncle, second uncle and second aunt, aunt and uncle, uncle and aunt, you are all here."
Gu Bai came up with his phone, grinning gleefully, "And our uncle and aunt, they're traveling and can't make it back, so they said they'll catch up with you later."
Gu Nian secretly gave him a glare, meaning that she would settle the score with him later, and then smiled and greeted her uncle and aunt on the screen.
After hanging up the phone, the family sat down. Gu Nian kicked Gu Bai under the table and said in a low voice: "Why didn't you stop him and tell me in advance? I'm so old, why am I still holding a promotion banquet!" He also hung a banner, and the waiters passing by burst into laughter.
"I'm telling you, your phone is gone!"
Gu Bai quickly begged for mercy: "Sister, I really didn't know. As soon as our mother knew that you got a promotion and a raise, she started calling relatives to inform them. I thought having a meal was nothing, who knew they would prepare all this." As he said that, he couldn't help laughing again.
Fearing that his phone was really gone, he quickly pointed to the thick stack of red envelopes next to him and said, "Actually, it's not without benefits. I even got some red envelopes. I don't even have any."
The two of them were talking in private, and the eldest aunt sitting next to them smiled with relief: "These two children have a really good relationship. Twins are just different. They have been attached to each other since their mother's womb."
My aunt, who was not far away, nodded in agreement: "These two children look alike, especially when they were young. They were exactly the same, just like looking in the mirror."
Mr. and Mrs. Gu looked at each other, smiled and said nothing.
Gu Nian and Gu Bai disliked each other and started arguing, but the topic quickly changed.
After the meal, everyone was very happy. The food here was a bit expensive, but it was indeed delicious. When it came time to pay the bill, Gu Nian took out the business card from his pocket and said, "This is given by someone from your group. They said there's a discount. What's the discount?"
The cashier, having never encountered such a situation before, finally asked her to wait while he took the business card to ask his supervisor. Soon, the cashier came back trotting and said respectfully, "Our supervisor has said that your meal is free, but you have to keep your business card."
Gu Nian nodded without hesitation: "Okay, here's your business card, and the meal is free."
It’s a free meal, what a bargain!
After the Gu family left, the cashier took the business card to a private room upstairs, handed it to the bodyguard at the door, repeated Gu Nian's words, and then left quickly.
Inside the private room, a group of wealthy second-generations burst into laughter after hearing the bodyguard's response. They all turned to the young man sitting in the middle and said, "Mr. Xie, is such a person worth your concern? I'd say your brother is already useless, so why are you still worried? He's at your mercy now. Even if he has any friends, they're all worthless."
The Xie family's priceless business card was used to cover a meal. It would make people laugh if they told anyone about it. What a short-sighted person! He didn't know how to seize the opportunity.
The young man ignored everyone, playing with the business card he had received back, and chuckled softly, "Do you think highly of my Xie family?"
The other side.
Gu Nian, who had left long ago, naturally had no idea there was such a thing going on behind the scenes, but even if she knew, she wouldn't have cared. Since the rented house was no longer habitable, she returned home with her parents.
Gu Nian found an excuse to move back home, and of course her parents were happy. Her mother always kept her room tidy and ready for her to move in at any time. However, her mother hadn't seen her daughter for a long time, so she simply sent her father to the guest room that night. The mother and daughter talked for a long time before falling asleep.
A dreamless night.
After waking up, Gu Nian breathed a sigh of relief. The series of events that had happened in her dreams before had made her wary of sleeping at night. Fortunately, everything was fine at home.
After breakfast, Gu Nian went out.
Zhong Xingchi said she would have three days to sort out her affairs, and she planned to go to her previous company to complete the resignation procedures. This wasn't complicated, as they said the higher-ups had already made arrangements, and she only needed to go there in person to confirm and collect her belongings.
Gu Nian had originally taken a week-long vacation. It was only the second day when her colleagues at the hospital came back, and they were a little curious. When Gu Nian told them that she was going to resign, everyone sighed.
However, everyone has their own aspirations, and it is normal for people to come and go in the workplace. I heard that Gu Nian’s new company has very good benefits, and everyone is very happy for her.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Gu Nian went to the director to cancel her leave application before completing her resignation procedures. The director, unaware of the situation, was still very optimistic about Gu Nian, a young woman, and naturally tried to persuade her to stay. However, seeing that she was determined to leave, he patted her on the shoulder and stopped trying to persuade her.
Gu Nian suddenly remembered something and asked, "Director, our hospital recently admitted a lot of patients with mental problems. How are they doing now?"
She did mention this matter to Zhong Xingchi, but she didn't know how he handled it.
Speaking of this, the director's expression relaxed and he smiled, "The higher-ups know that our hospital is under a lot of pressure, so they sent someone to transfer some of the more seriously ill patients. Finally, we're not so busy anymore."
Otherwise, he would not let go so easily and let such a good seedling go.
Gu Nian nodded upon hearing this.
Although he wasn't as busy as before, the director still had a lot to do. Gu Nian didn't waste too much of his time. He said goodbye and packed up his belongings to leave. As he passed through the corridor, he suddenly saw a nurse coming out of the ward. Gu Nian instinctively called out to her, "Nurse Zhang."
The nurse who was called stopped and turned around to see that it was Gu Nian. She smiled and said, "It's Doctor Gu. I heard that you resigned. I was so busy just now that I didn't have time to talk to you."
After exchanging a few polite words with the other party, Gu Nian asked, "I want to ask you something. Is the patient named Song Tian still in the hospital?"
Gu Nian still remembers that when she left the hospital for vacation, a baby-faced patient stopped her and said that the end of the world was coming and told her to be careful.
For some reason, she remembered this incident when she arrived at the hospital. She remembered the look in the patient's eyes at the time. He seemed particularly concerned that she remembered his name. So when she saw the nurse in charge of him, Gu Nian decided to ask.
Because it wasn't long after that, Nurse Zhang quickly remembered it. She said, "You mean that patient? He was transferred to another hospital that night. I heard he was sent to a specialized psychiatric hospital."
At this point, Nurse Zhang showed a puzzled expression. "Doctor Gu, did you know this patient before? I wasn't there when he was transferred, and I heard from other colleagues that he kept calling your name, saying things like the world was ending and asking you to go find him."
Of course no one believed such outrageous words. Nurse Zhang couldn't help but ask because the patient acted as if he was very familiar with Gu Nian.
Gu Nian frowned and shook his head, saying, "I saw him that day, so I'm asking."
Nurse Zhang nodded. "That's what I told you."
After the two parted, Gu Nian left the hospital and after thinking about it, she decided to call Zhong Xingchi.
After the call was connected, Gu Nian said directly: "I suspect you missed a person with special abilities. The other party may be trapped in a mental hospital now."
