Chapter 64
When Gao Quan arrived, Wang Haidong showed no intention of leaving. Instead, his attitude became even more arrogant.
"Even if you call the police, it will be useless. Haiyun's estate must be inherited by me."
Facing Wang Haidong's arrogance and unreasonableness, Xia Zhongqin showed no fear. The things she had experienced since childhood had already made her see through human nature. Some people's bad nature is in their genes, and they are born bad. Don't try to change or influence them. He can only be arrogant, but you have to be more arrogant than him.
Xia Zhongqin picked up her phone and called 110 to report the incident.
As soon as the operator picked up the alarm call, Wang Haidong rushed forward to snatch Xia Zhongqin's mobile phone. However, when his hand was about to touch Xia Zhongqin's phone, he was stopped by Gao Quan and Zhu Hongmiao.
Xia Zhongqin briefly explained the reason and location for the report. After all, it happened in a nursing home and had affected the normal operation of the nursing home. The police were immediately dispatched after receiving the feedback and arrived in about fifteen minutes.
When Xia Zhongqin called 110 to report the incident, she turned on the speaker, so Wang Haidong naturally heard everything the operator said. However, he did not continue to act arrogantly as he had just done. As soon as Xia Zhongqin hung up the phone, Wang Haidong violently broke free from the restraints on both sides of his arms and ran out of Wang Haiyundong's bedroom in a panic.
Gao Quan immediately went forward to chase after him, but he was stopped by Xia Zhongqin after taking just two steps forward.
"Uncle Gao, there's no need to chase him. Doesn't the gate of the nursing home need a remote control to open it..."
Before Xia Zhongqin could finish her words, she was abruptly interrupted by curses coming from downstairs.
"You son of a bitch, open the door for me now, or you're going to have a hell of a time."
As the three of them reached the door of Wang Haiyun's bedroom, a heart-wrenching cry of "Help" came into their ears at the same time, followed by a loud noise downstairs.
When the three of them went downstairs, they saw that Wang Haidong had a dagger in his hand. He was holding the dagger against the neck of a grandfather who looked to be about 90 years old.
It was just eight o'clock in the morning, and it wasn't too hot at that time. Many elderly people liked to sit on the elderly-friendly chairs in the corridor outside the guardhouse, enjoying the rare coolness in the hot summer. Some of them watched TV, and some chatted.
The elderly who were originally sitting in the elderly chairs watching TV or chatting leisurely at this time are now in chaos. Two elderly people have slipped from the elderly chairs to the ground because they were too frightened. Several caregivers in the hospital have rushed over to help the elderly evacuate.
Xia Zhongqin knew that Wang Haidong was bad and evil, but she still underestimated the extent of his evil. The hostage-taking scene she had seen on TV was happening right in front of her. She was a little panicked, but when her eyes swept across the old man's pale face and saw the wet ground where he was standing, she calmed down.
Gao Quan and Zhu Hongmiao were both terrified. Although they were both over fifty years old, they had never seen such a scene. They only reacted when they heard Xia Zhongqin's voice.
"Uncle Gao, please open the gate quickly."
Gao Quan reacted quickly and took out the automatic remote control of the door from his lower pocket.
As the door opening button on the automatic remote control was pressed, the door slowly opened.
Seeing that the door was half open, Wang Haidong pushed the old man he was holding hostage forward.
Xia Zhongqin quickly stepped forward and held the old man steadily. Then Zhu Hongmiao came over and held the old man's arm from the other side, and then she checked the old man's neck.
Blood could be seen oozing from the place where the dagger was held. Before Zhu Hongmiao could say anything, the grandfather who was supported by her and Xia Zhongqin on both sides suddenly fell backwards. The force was too great, and the two who were not mentally prepared at all also fell forward. If Gao Quan had not come over to support the grandfather and then stood up, they would have fallen to the ground.
Grandpa's condition was very serious, so Xia Zhongqin quickly called the 120 emergency center.
Wang Haidong, who fled in panic from the Sunset Red Nursing Home, ran a red light at an intersection and was hit by a speeding truck. He died on the way to the hospital by ambulance.
With the help of Zhu Hongmiao, Xia Zhongqin spent three days to take care of Wang Haiyun's funeral arrangements.
Although no mourning hall was set up at the funeral home, Director Fang, the leader of the park's Civil Affairs Bureau, still came to the Sunset Red Nursing Home in person to pay his respects.
Xia Zhongqin hired a moving company to move all of Wang Haiyun's personal belongings from the Sunset Red Nursing Home to the house in Modern Garden.
As a five-star nursing home in Suzhou Industrial Park, the Sunset Red Nursing Home has many people coveting the position of director. In the eyes of outsiders, every year the Suzhou Charity Federation and private charitable groups or individuals donate money and materials to the Sunset Red Nursing Home, and there is a lot of money to be made from it.
On the second day after Wang Haiyun's accident, the new director reported to the Sunset Red Nursing Home and brought an assistant director with him. It was obvious that this assistant director was to gradually take over the work of the deputy director Zhu Hongmiao.
After working in the Sunset Red Nursing Home for seven years, Zhu Hongmiao has already developed feelings for the elderly people there. Like Wang Haiyun, she basically works all year round, and every night when the nurses make their rounds, they both put themselves on the patrol list.
After dealing with Wang Haiyun's funeral on the third day, Xia Zhongqin and Zhu Hongmiao stayed together in Wang Haiyun's bedroom at night. Xia Zhongqin knew that from now on, she might never be able to enter this place where she had lived since she was seven years old.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, both of them took a shower and sat on the sofa together.
"Aunt Hong Miao, what are your plans for the future?"
"Qinqin, the boss is gone. Originally, I wanted to continue to run the nursing home that the boss had worked so hard to build over the years. But you have seen the current situation. I am alone and powerless. I told the new director that I would resign after the handover work in the nursing home was completed. Do you know how she reacted? She said there was no need for handover and asked me to complete the resignation procedures as soon as possible." At the end, Zhu Hongmiao's voice was choked with sobs.
Xia Zhongqin moved closer to Zhu Hongmiao, gently patting her back a few times and comforting her, "People with different ideals cannot work together. Aunt Hongmiao, believe it or not, as soon as you leave, the entire Sunset Red Nursing Home will collapse immediately. She only got the position because she's Director Fang's sister-in-law. She thinks that with a few years of experience working in a nursing home that combines medical care and elderly care, she can easily run the Sunset Red Nursing Home. She's completely overthinking it. Others may not know the hard work you, Mother Wang, and the nursing staff put in behind the scenes, but I know it all."
With Xia Zhongqin's comfort, Zhu Hongmiao's mood was obviously much better. "Qinqin, your words hit the nail on the head. You see things as clearly as the boss. No matter what difficulties Qinqin encounters in the future, you must tell me and don't try to handle it alone."
Xia Zhongqin nodded, and then she transferred 200,000 yuan to Zhu Hongmiao's WeChat.
The 200,000 yuan is half of the 400,000 yuan that Wang Haiyun has saved over the years. The insurance premium is still going through the process and has not been paid out yet.
After transferring the money, Xia Zhongqin directly took the mobile phone that was placed on Zhu Hongmiao's right side.
Xia Zhongqin had used Zhu Hongmiao's phone before, and she had written down the password at that time. This time, she opened the phone as soon as she entered the password. She quickly opened WeChat on her phone and clicked to receive the transfer she had made.
Xia Zhongqin's movements were almost done in one go.
By the time Zhu Hongmiao reacted, Xia Zhongqin had already put her cell phone in her hand.
"Aunt Hong Miao, although you've never told me about your family's situation, I've overheard conversations between you and Mother Wang several times over the years. I know your family relies on your salary alone. Your son Zhu Yiyan is in college now and needs money. Mother Wang has transferred this money to you several times, but you've always refused it. Please accept it this time. This money must not be known to Yiyan's father, that gambler."
As soon as Xia Zhongqin finished speaking these heartwarming words, Zhu Hongmiao's eyes were already moist. "Qinqin, consider this money as a loan from Yanyan and me to you and the boss..."
"Auntie Hong Miao, please don't feel any psychological burden. You have worked alongside Mother Wang for so many years, and you have been very hardworking and dedicated. Without your hard work, the Sunset Red Nursing Home would not have become as famous as it is today, so this money is what you deserve."
Xia Zhongqin paused for a moment and continued, "Auntie Hong Miao, what are your plans for leaving Sunset Red Nursing Home temporarily?"
"Yi Yan is a sophomore at Northwestern Polytechnical University. To save on round-trip airfare, he found a part-time job near the school during the summer vacation. To save money, he didn't come back for the Spring Festival last year. I want to go see him. I'll make plans after he comes back. Qinqin, don't worry about my work. Several nursing homes have expressed interest in hiring me as director. I'm currently considering my response. I really can't bear to leave the elderly in the nursing homes and I'm worried about them."
The two chatted for a while, and it was almost half past ten when the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a young woman in her thirties came in hurriedly.
"Vice President Zhu, Grandpa Liu from Room 306 defecated on the bed and won't let us change. He's throwing a tantrum now, and I specifically want you to go."
The woman's voice was urgent. The person who came was none other than the assistant dean, Hu Xiaoxiao, brought by the newly appointed dean, Hu Hong.
Ever since Hu Hong came to the hospital, he has been bossing Zhu Hongmiao around and has no idea how to write the word "respect". The hospital assistant also follows suit and is not in a good mood towards Zhu Hongmiao.
Now that Ken had swallowed his pride and came here in the middle of the night, Xia Zhongqin and Zhu Hongmiao both realized the seriousness of the matter.
Grandpa Liu is a disabled elderly man who cannot even take care of himself. He relies on a caregiver or Zhu Hongmiao and Wang Haiyun to feed him.
