But Zhou Mo felt that Qi Tan's behavior was more like a guilty conscience.
Especially when facing Han Chen's serious, scrutinizing and deep gaze.
Zhou Mo felt that Qi Tan must be afraid of something.
Xu Yide went out to find the waiter and closed the door after leaving.
There were only three of them left in the house.
Ling Yuebin looked puzzled. "Duan Feng, what's wrong? Didn't the hospital take action against him? His quota was withdrawn, and he still has the mood to go out to eat with his friends?"
Han Chen: "He has always had a strong mental state."
Ling Yuebin: "I've seen it all. Not only did he happily go out to dinner with his friends, but he was also polite and smiled at me. His mentality is really strong. I was worried that he would get jealous and blame you for losing his spot."
Han Chen: "He won't. It wasn't me who made him lose his place. It's just... I don't know if he wants to find out who reported him, and I don't know if he will retaliate."
Ling Yuebin: "If it were me, I would definitely do it, and...the first person I would suspect would be you."
Han Chen: "If I were him, the first person I would eliminate as a suspect would definitely be me."
Ling Yuebin: "Why?"
Han Chen: "This approach has no benefits other than allowing me to get this year's quota. And... the quota is only a matter of a year earlier or later for me. If I act so aggressively in front of Director Gu, and my colleagues in the same department attack and frame each other for the quota... this is not a situation Director Gu likes. The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Director Gu will be able to put me in my position without waiting for Duan Feng to find a way to deal with me."
After associate professor, there is professor. If you work in the medical and health system, there are also associate chief physician, chief physician... There are many titles to be evaluated.
If I lag behind Duan Feng, at most I will be overshadowed, but if I make Director Gu unhappy...I can forget about staying in the orthopedics department.
No matter how stupid you are, you will never lose the big picture for the small.
So Duan Feng, there is no reason to doubt him.
Zhou Mo suddenly stood up and said, "I want to go out for a while."
Han Chen was confused and worried: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Mo: "Go to the bathroom."
Han Chen: "Go ahead."
Zhou Mo stood up and walked out.
After closing the door of the private room, Zhou Mo looked in the direction where Duan Feng and Qi Tan had just disappeared.
There are many private rooms inside, and it is not certain which one they just entered.
Zhou Mo sent a message to Qi Tan: Come out for a moment.
Qi Tan:?
Zhou Mo: Come out.
Qi Tan: Is there something wrong?
Zhou Mo: Come out!
Qi Tan: Whatever you want to say, say it in the text message. You are not afraid that your husband will be jealous, but I am afraid.
Zhou Mo: If you don’t want me to come to your house and embarrass you in front of your friends, come out now.
He held on for a moment.
Qi Tan: Right away.
Zhou Mo waited for less than a minute.
The door of the innermost private room opened.
Zhou Mo stood there, calmly waiting for him to come over.
The lights in the corridor were not very bright. The light above Zhou Mo's head was behind her, and her front was hidden in the shadows. Combined with her extremely fair skin, she looked like a female ghost in a horror movie.
"Is there something?" Qi Tan saw that Zhou Mo was not as lively as usual. One could even say that her expression was stiff, with obvious signs of anger.
"Come here," Zhou Mo turned around and led the way to the pedestrian stairwell at the corner.
Qi Tan followed him without any precautions. As soon as he stood still, Zhou Mo turned around and slapped him in the face.
Qi Tan was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He didn't even react to the pain.
"I hit you first. As for whether you're wronged or not, you know it in your heart," Zhou Mo said. "I have no evidence to prove that you were the one who sent Ren Huaibo to kill me. If you think I hit the wrong person, you can slap me back now."
Qi Tan clenched his fists, his face serious, "Are you crazy?"
"Whether I'm crazy or not, you don't need to lecture me," Zhou Mo said, "Qi Tan, even if we were in a relationship and broke up, it was at least a peaceful breakup. It hasn't reached the point of a falling out. It's fine to greet each other politely when we meet. If you insist on using these methods, even nearly costing me my life, to deal with Han Chen, I will never allow it!"
Qi Tan was speechless for a moment, and he felt inexplicably panicked.
"Zhou Mo..." He wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything.
Zhou Mo's bright black eyes stared deeply at Qi Tan, "I'm going to ask you a question, please answer me truthfully."
Qi Tan was so panicked that he couldn't meet Zhou Mo's eyes.
It was a natural panic, just like... the panic a child who had done something wrong would feel when facing his parents.
Qi Tan didn't know why he could be cold and indifferent to outsiders, or put on a smiling face, but when facing Zhou Mo's serious and earnest expression, he felt so panicked and unnatural.
He knew that his feelings for Zhou Mo had always been complicated.
He couldn't help but admit that he still had feelings for her. When she was in danger, his first reaction was to save her, protect her, and comfort her, but he never thought of destroying her marriage because of this.
However, this level of emotion is not enough to offset his pursuit of power, nor is it enough to stop his progress and plans.
He actually wanted to be friends with Zhou Mo, just ordinary friends.
Just like...they were friends before Ren Huaibo tried to strangle her.
Now it seems that these simple wishes have become luxuries.
"Ask whatever you want."
"Will you tell the truth?"
