Chapter 171 Interrogation
The man was also wearing a thick military coat, but a corner of his white hair was faintly visible under his hat.
The three parties met in the night, looked at each other, and nodded knowingly.
Then, Ruan Chuxia took out the key she carried with her, carefully inserted it into the keyhole, and gently turned the key.
With a click, the door opened and three people walked in one after another.
The three of them didn't turn on the lights. They relied on the faint light coming in from the window and their familiarity with the place to quietly sneak into the dean's office.
As soon as I stepped into the office, before I could even gain a firm footing, Dean Hu spoke in a low voice.
His voice was so low that it almost rolled out in his throat.
"I've made up my mind. Zhiyu and I will stay here tonight. You're a lesbian, so don't suffer with us. I'm also worried about Xiaojun being home alone. Go back and lock the door to the infirmary."
After listening to this, Ruan Chuxia did not refute immediately, but nodded slightly.
She knew that saying more would be useless at this critical moment.
Men are indeed more mobile.
"Then I'll come and bring you breakfast tomorrow morning."
She spoke in a calm tone.
"Just take what's for Zhiyu. I'm not hungry."
Dean Hu took over the conversation and continued.
"Just bring some biscuits with you. A couple of biscuits will be enough to fill your stomach when the time comes."
After saying that, he waved his hand and signaled her to go home.
The cold wind was howling outside, and the footsteps on the ground made a slight and crisp sound.
When Ruan Chuxia's footsteps gradually faded away and no echo could be heard at all, Dean Hu immediately pulled Xiao Zhiyu and hid in a corner of the office.
That place was extremely hidden, almost blending into the wall, with no light reaching it. In addition, there was a tattered wooden board standing behind it blocking the view.
Even if someone outside were to randomly sweep a strong flashlight around, it would not be easy to be discovered.
Not only that, he also brought over a long, old-fashioned bench and asked Xiao Zhiyu to sit down, whispering, "No one can see you here. It's safe. Stay here and relax."
The night was freezing cold.
The whole office was immersed in darkness.
This atmosphere inexplicably makes people feel creepy, and there is a vague sense of foreboding in their hearts.
To resist the cold of deep winter.
Xiao Zhiyu deliberately wore a thick and warm military coat.
This dress is an older style and can be wrapped below the knees, although it is a bit heavy and difficult to carry.
But it was indeed warm enough on such a cold night, preventing him from freezing into a popsicle.
But even so, he still felt cold all over and could not withstand such bad weather.
Looking at Dean Hu who was shivering beside him, Xiao Zhiyu moved his wrist, took out a roasted sweet potato that was still slightly warm from his arms and handed it to him.
Sweet potatoes have a light sweet aroma.
"Warm yourself up."
His voice was still very soft.
The two of them simply ate the hot sweet potatoes in their hands.
Throw the remaining skin into a small trash can in the corner.
Then he readjusted his posture, tensed his nerves, pricked up his ears, and began to pay attention to every move in his surroundings.
They waited until about 4:30 in the middle of the night and still didn't see any suspicious people approaching.
The sky was gradually turning white, and it seemed that the sun was only one step away from rising.
But their agreed time was still about an hour away.
Realizing this, Dean Hu couldn't help but frowned. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Zhiyu next to him with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
She saw Xiao Zhiyu sitting on a bench and dozing off.
His head was nodding, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his lips were chapped, obviously from staying up too late.
Dean Hu next to him was leaning against the window smoking, ashes kept falling from his fingertips, and many cigarette butts were scattered on the ground.
Apart from this, there was no one else in the room.
The atmosphere in the room was stagnant.
She vaguely understood something in her heart, but didn't say much.
Without disturbing them, he just quietly approached and took out an insulated box from his arms.
She carefully opened the lid and found a neatly stacked stack of pancakes inside.
There were also side dishes separated by partitions, and a peeled boiled egg in the corner.
"Eat it while it's hot. We still have a while before work, and you can take a nap after eating."
Hearing the voice, Dean Hu raised his eyes and his gaze fell on the lunch box in Ruan Chuxia's hand. He was obviously stunned for a moment.
"Didn't I say I brought cookies?"
He said.
"How can biscuits be considered a proper meal?"
Ruan Chuxia said softly.
"Besides, we can't make do at a time like this."
"Besides, I had to cook anyway, so I made you one."
She smiled.
After these words were spoken, the room seemed less oppressive.
She is always careful and thoughtful in her work.
At this time, these words not only relieved the awkwardness, but also brought some warmth to Dean Hu's heart.
He didn't refuse anymore, just said "thank you", lowered his head to take the lunch box, and slowly started eating.
The pancake had just come out of the pan, and it was fragrant with oil, sprinkled with sesame seeds, and had an attractive golden color.
Unfortunately, Dean Hu didn't have a good appetite. He put down his chopsticks after eating two bites and stared out the window again in a daze.
The sun has climbed up the courtyard wall.
Seeing this, Ruan Chuxia felt worried.
She couldn't help but say, "Eat a little bit at least. Even if you don't catch that person, don't take it too seriously."
But Dean Hu still did not respond, nor did he show any intention of picking up the chopsticks again.
She sighed softly, reached out to close the lunch box again, and carefully placed it on the corner of the table.
At this moment, Xiao Zhiyu next to him was awakened by the noise of the two people.
He opened his eyes and rubbed the corners of his eyes which were slightly swollen.
The whole person looks extremely haggard.
His eyes were cloudy but somewhat lucid.
"Who said they didn't catch anyone?"
As he finished speaking, his eyes turned to the two people opposite him.
The lunch box in Ruan Chuxia's hand hit the table with a clang.
She looked up suddenly: "Did you catch it?"
"Um."
Xiao Zhiyu responded softly with a complicated expression, and then added another sentence.
"And now... the trial is still ongoing."
After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Dean Hu, who had remained silent.
After all, this matter involves people inside the medical office and the situation is sensitive.
As an outsider, if President Hu hadn't nodded.
He himself couldn't get a word in, let alone overstep his bounds.
Dean Hu certainly understood this, so he slowly lit a new cigarette, took a deep puff, and then slowly walked to the window.
Looking at the empty yard downstairs, his face was full of contradiction and struggle.
He took a deep drag on his cigarette and pointed to the vacant clinic next to his office.
“The people are right there.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to take Ruan Chuxia to the scene to check it out.
After all, things have developed to this point, and he must tell her some facts in person.
Ruan Chuxia looked at his slightly hunched back and couldn't help but shout out in worry.
"Are you all right?"
"It's okay, just follow me."
No matter who the other party is, since this incident has already happened, there must be a result.
