"What happened?!" Upon hearing this, Rong Mo became extremely anxious. He was momentarily dazed and slammed on the brakes, which prevented him from crashing directly into the rear of the car that was stopped at the traffic light.
"Just now, the young lady said she was going to the restroom. I thought the restroom was at the end of the corridor, a place I could see directly. I was also afraid that the young lady would find it inconvenient, so I didn't follow her and stand guard at the door."
Unexpectedly, as the young lady came out, a man suddenly jumped out from the stairwell, pulled a sharp knife from his down jacket, and held it directly to her neck...
He threatened to kill the young lady immediately if we dared to call the police.
Wei Qiao was flustered and somewhat incoherent. Rong Mo became increasingly alarmed as he listened. He quickly composed himself and calmly instructed, "Before I arrive, do not provoke that man. Fulfill all his requests and let him say whatever he wants. Agree to everything he says, understand?! I'll be there in fifteen minutes."
Rong Mo glanced down at the navigation, which showed that there was still almost half an hour left, but he couldn't care less at the moment.
"Understood, Mr. Rong."
As soon as the car in front started moving, Rong Mo turned the steering wheel to the right and then floored the accelerator.
"Holy crap, are you crazy?! Who's got a death wish, driving like that in the middle of the night!"
Seeing Rong Mo's crazy actions, the driver in the car in front couldn't help but roll down the window and curse.
Wei Qiao hung up the phone and cautiously approached the man, afraid of upsetting him.
"Don't come any closer! If you do, I'll kill her!"
The man, in a fit of rage, shoved the knife against Shen Zhi Qiu's neck again.
"Alright, alright, we won't go!"
Lu Jia quickly reached out to stop Wei Qiao and said earnestly to the man, "If you have any difficulties, you can tell me directly. Please don't hurt her!"
"What difficulties do I have? What difficulties do I have?"
The man cried out in anguish, his voice trembling with sobs, "My wife is dying! What difficulties could I possibly be facing?! If I hadn't been driven to the brink, would I have done something so heinous?! My daughter is about to lose her mother, and she's still a preschooler!"
"What's wrong with your wife?" Shen Zhi Qiu frowned and asked patiently, her voice gentle, trying to calm the man in front of her down.
Shen Zhi Qiu was extremely frustrated. Today was supposed to be her big day of returning to the Rong family and recognizing her relatives, but not only did Gu Qing Yan cause a scene, but she also ended up in the hospital because of Si Ming Yu's matter, and now she was being held hostage with a knife.
When she saw the news before, she saw that a famous ophthalmologist in China was stabbed. She lamented to Lu Jia that hospitals really should strengthen security measures to ensure the safety of doctors and patients.
I never imagined that I would be threatened in my own hospital today.
"She was in a car accident and was still somewhat conscious when she was brought to this hospital. But after the doctors performed surgery, she became a vegetable! Now she lies motionless in her hospital bed, unable to speak or eat, and can only survive on a ventilator!"
How could I not hate you?! If it weren't for the hospital's negligence, my wife wouldn't have ended up like this!
The man became increasingly agitated as he spoke, waving his dagger in the air a few times and shouting, "Get Dr. Li out here right now!"
I must kill him to avenge my wife!
"Don't get agitated, I'll go find Dr. Li for you!" Wei Qiao immediately agreed, trying to calm the man down.
"Yes, Brother Mo, please don't act rashly. Let's talk things over calmly. I'll call Dr. Li for you right away. It's the middle of the night, I don't know if I'll be able to get through."
The nurse on duty tonight was almost in tears; she had never seen anything like it before. She cried out in a trembling voice.
"Ha, hurry up! But let me tell you, if you dare to lie to me, I'll kill this woman in front of me first to vent my anger!"
The man shouted regardless of the consequences.
“Killing her won’t do any good, brother. Don’t get agitated. Let’s talk this out, okay?” Lu Jia looked at Shen Zhi Qiu with a pained expression, afraid that the knife might accidentally hurt her.
Zhou Xiaoran looked anxious but didn't dare say anything, afraid of upsetting the man.
"I know it's useless!" the man roared. "I also know that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor! I should seek revenge on Dr. Li!"
However, no one at the hospital would tell me where Dr. Li went!
They must have known that the surgery failed because of Dr. Li, so they hid him and prevented him from seeing me!
"I had no choice but to arrest her, so don't blame me!" the man said, looking down at Shen Zhi Qiu with a sorrowful expression. "Only if I kill someone first will the hospital take it seriously and reinvestigate the cause of my wife's failed surgery!"
"Re-investigate?" Shen Zhi Qiu immediately grasped the key point. "Didn't you already request the hospital to investigate? Why didn't you call the police? If there really is a problem after calling the police, they will definitely help you!"
"No way!" The man's emotions suddenly became even more agitated, and he roared with bloodshot eyes, "I called the police from the very beginning! But it was no use at all!"
Haha, I should have known long ago. The hospital has such great influence, and everyone here knows what kind of presence the Rong family has in the capital!
They must be under protection! It's all my fault for being so stupid; what good did calling the police do?!
I have no choice but to do it myself, to avenge my wife!
The man roared in agony, "You've really had the worst luck today, running into me! If I kill you, I'll pray for you during every holiday so you can be released from this cycle soon."
The man's words became increasingly outrageous, and Lu Jia's face turned completely pale. He glanced at the stairwell behind the man and had an idea.
Taking advantage of the moment when Shen Zhi Qiu distracted the man, Lu Jia gave Wei Qiao a wink and pointed with her chin toward the direction of the stairwell.
Wei Qiao understood immediately and nodded solemnly.
"What should we do? Dr. Li hasn't answered the phone!" The nurse who had just gone to make the call ran out crying.
Lu Jia immediately stepped forward and called out to the nurse, "Is Dr. Li on duty tonight? If so, take me to his rest room. I'll go and bring him here now!"
"He's not on duty?!" The nurse was a little confused until she saw Lu Jia winking at her repeatedly, then she realized what was going on and said, pretending to have just remembered, "Dr. Li usually sleeps in the hospital break room if he gets off work late and goes home early the next morning. He's on the night shift today, so he might indeed be in the hospital break room."
