Chapter 182
After coming out of the old veterinary station, Mu Ling took Chai Yunyue to Shanlin Canyon.
Giving the two some space to talk alone, she went to the back mountain to see the animals.
As it turned out, the new doctor Wu and nurse Tian were also there in the back mountain. A wolf had a relapse of its old illness and its front limbs could not move, so they came to check what was going on.
Seeing the two busy, Mu Ling went over to help them. The two greeted the head nurse. After a while, Dr. Wu said to Nurse Tian, "Xiao Tian, go get another bottle of disinfectant from the car."
Nurse Tian got up and left, but Mu Ling took a look at the medicine box next to her. Wasn't there still half a bottle in it? There wasn't any external injury that needed to be treated. Was so much disinfectant needed?
Mu Ling was thinking when Doctor Wu suddenly spoke up: "Director, what is Director Chai doing here?"
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling: “!!!”
Mu Ling widened her eyes and looked in horror at the doctor Wu who was in his thirties and looked honest and simple.
What, how did you know he was coming!
Seeing the director remained silent, Doctor Wu paused in massaging the wolf's forelimbs, looked up at the director, and asked, "Can't you speak?"
It's not a question of whether or not I can tell you, but you rashly ask...
Mu Ling choked, neither admitting nor denying, just playing dumb and innocent: "What are you talking about?"
Doctor Wu was surprised to see the director so wary of him. "Ah, didn't you hire me because you knew who I was?"
Mu Ling was dumbfounded: "Who are you?"
Doctor Wu was even more dumbfounded: "You don't know? Then why did you hire me?"
Mu Ling said as a matter of course: "Because you submitted your resume!"
Doctor Wu: “…”
Mu Ling stared at Dr. Wu: "So who are you?"
Doctor Wu said, "I came from the Qiufeng Laboratory."
Qiufeng Laboratory, never heard of it...
Doctor Wu was a little confused when he saw that Mu Ling had no recollection of him. "Qiufeng Laboratory was originally a campus laboratory, but later became independent and expanded with investment from the Bai family of Gulanxing. The head of the laboratory was my teacher, Qi Fenghao."
Mu Ling was originally alert, but when she heard the three words Qi Fenghao, she was stunned and her eyes widened.
"Qi Fenghao?"
"The principal of the School of Life Sciences, Qi Fenghao?"
Mu Ling graduated from the School of Life Sciences of Star 877, which is one of the five branches of the Capital Star General Hospital. On the first floor of the school's teaching building, there are photos of the top teachers of the general hospital.
Among them, the photo of President Qi Fenghao was hung first. He is the president of the School of Life Sciences and a well-known big shot in the entire medical industry.
Mu Ling's mentor once worked with Principal Qi. Because of this relationship, when Principal Qi came to the branch to give a speech, she was called to the door to greet him and even shook hands with him!
Mu Ling looked at Dr. Wu in shock and asked blankly, "So, are you a human doctor or a veterinarian?"
Doctor Wu: “…”
Doctor Wu said, "I graduated from the College of Life Sciences. I initially studied conventional medicine, but later switched to veterinary medicine. I took the senior veterinary qualification exam and also served in military areas. It's just as written on my resume."
Mu Ling didn't say anything, just looked at him blankly.
Seeing that the principal was still confused, Dr. Wu said, "I thought the teacher had already told you, so that's why you hired me."
Mu Ling was puzzled: "How could I possibly know Principal Qi Fenghao?"
Doctor Wu was puzzled: "Don't you know him? But didn't the teacher say that you are his junior?"
Mu Ling was confused and pointed at her nose: "Me?"
Doctor Wu nodded: "The teacher asked me to come to the Beak Zoo so that I can take care of you. He said you are my junior sister. Look at this."
Dr. Wu turned on his laptop and a chat box popped up.
Inside is a conversation between him and a person labeled "teacher".
This "teacher" had just come to see him yesterday evening.
Teacher: [Chief Chai will be at the Beak Zoo tomorrow. Ask your junior sister what he is doing there?]
Doctor Wu: [Who is Director Chai?]
Teacher: [Just ask.]
Doctor Wu: [Okay, but teacher, why doesn't my junior sister ever call me senior brother? Not even in private.]
Teacher: [You asked her.]
Doctor Wu: [I’m embarrassed to ask, could you please ask for me?]
The teacher didn’t reply.
The teacher never came back.
Mu Ling stared at the chat box, but Doctor Wu blushed. How could he have forgotten the last two sentences he had said? He quickly closed the chat box, then coughed lightly and said, "See, he asked me to ask."
Mu Ling was still in shock...
At this time, Nurse Tian came back with disinfectant.
Mu Ling and Dr. Wu said nothing more.
After a while, after giving the wolf another injection of painkillers, Dr. Wu began to pack up the medicine box.
The gray wolf looked very haggard because of the pain in its legs. It rested its head on Mu Ling's knees, lazily enjoying her caress.
Mu Ling touched the floor absent-mindedly. Seeing that Dr. Wu and Nurse Tian were about to leave, she looked at Dr. Wu again. Dr. Wu also happened to look at her. The two looked at each other, and Mu Ling looked away.
Doctor Wu understood that she didn't want to tell him about Director Chai, so he didn't ask any further questions. He was just a messenger. It would be better if the principal contacted the teacher himself.
After Dr. Wu and Nurse Tian left, the other animals squatting nearby saw that Mu Ling was the only one left, so they all ran over.
Mu Ling played with them for a while, and soon her computer started ringing. It was Brother Xiang calling.
Mu Ling picked up the phone and the other end said they had finished the discussion.
Mu Ling stood up and walked back.
Over there, Chai Yunyue had already gotten into the patrol car and was waiting. Mu Ling took the sleeping little gorilla from Brother Xiang's arms, glanced in the direction of Chai Yunyue, leaned close to Brother Xiang's ear, and said something.
Xiang Bie was stunned after hearing this and frowned. Then, seeing that Mu Ling also had a serious expression on her face, he raised his hand and touched her head, asking, "Have you guessed who it is?"
"Maybe it's my uncle..." Mu Ling analyzed, "Qiufeng Laboratory. The name of this laboratory is too suggestive. My aunt is Bai Huanqiu, and Dean Qi is Qi Fenghao. It has both autumn and wind in it. Doesn't it clearly show that they are a husband-and-wife shop? And have you forgotten what my aunt said last time? She said that my uncle is very smart, as smart as my grandfather. My grandfather is so amazing, and my uncle is an authority in the medical field. This is also normal. And I have always wondered why our 877 planet has a branch of the Academy of Life Sciences. The Academy of Life Sciences is a first-class medical institution. What reason is there to build a branch on a small planet like 877? I heard people say that it was because the land on 877 planet was cheap and it was more cost-effective to build a school here. But if the dean is my uncle, I think this branch might have been built specifically for me by the elders..."
Xiang Bie was silent for a moment, and then said: "When your uncle performed the operation on me, I was blind and had never seen him. I can't be sure whether he is Mr. Qi."
Mu Ling said: "My aunt must know."
However, it was inconvenient for Mu Ling to contact her aunt. In order not to expose her aunt's location, she had one-way communication with her aunt and she did not have her aunt's contact number.
"No rush." Xiang Bie comforted her, "They will contact you again if they want to know."
Mu Ling nodded and looked at Brother Xiang again: "So what exactly did Director Chai want to see you about?"
Xiang Bie paused and said nothing.
Mu Ling looked at his expression and was silent for a while, as if she had guessed it.
She exhaled and said, "I'll send him away first. Don't let him stay here for long."
Xiang Bie let go of Mu Ling, and Mu Ling returned to the patrol car with the little gorilla in her arms.
She opened the back door of the patrol car, put the little gorilla in the baby seat, fastened its seat belt, and covered it with a small blanket. Then Mu Ling walked around to the driver's seat and started the car.
Chai Yunyue had just seen Brother Xiang and Director Mu being reluctant to part and touching each other. Now that the person in question was sitting next to him, he didn't dare to say anything and pretended to look at the scenery around him.
The car was mid-air, and Mu Ling drove down the mountain while saying, "Are you here to take your brother Xiang back?"
Chai Yunyue: “…”
Chai Yunyue broke out in a sweat in an instant and didn't dare to say a word.
"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just a case of forcibly separating a couple. We were fine, but you insisted on calling him away and breaking us up."
Chai Yunyue: “…”
Chai Yunyue panicked and quickly explained, "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean that, but Brother Xiang can't stay in the zoo as a keeper forever, right? He's so talented and capable. Besides, the capital planet is in turmoil right now, and the president is in need of people around him. We all need him, he..."
Mu Ling interrupted him and said, "Do you know why I don't like you?"
Chai Yunyue closed his mouth and held it in for a long time before finally saying, "Because I'm a bit humble?"
Mu Ling sneered: "You are quite self-aware."
Chai Yunyue: “…”
Chai Yunyue lowered his head with a sad look on his face.
Mu Ling said, "The president knows he's here, but he's never forced him. Even his uncle doesn't need him to risk his life, yet you insist on urging him to go back."
"I..." Chai Yunyue said one word, then stopped and lowered his head again.
Mu Ling said calmly, "You don't know what he's been through over the years, and you don't know how much psychological pressure he'll face when he returns. You're just standing from your perspective and asking him to take responsibility. He really owes you."
Chai Yunyue lowered his head even lower.
"He has another friend, his last name is Wei. The biggest difference between you and Brother Wei is that Brother Wei only wants the best for him, while you only want the best for yourself."
Chai Yunyue's head was almost buried in his chest.
Mu Ling added, "I won't make any decisions for him. If he really wants to leave, I won't stop him. This is his own business, and he will make his own judgment. But I still want to say, Chai Yunyue, you're so annoying."
Chai Yunyue: “………………”
Woo woo woo.
Chai Yunyue then spoke cautiously: "So, do you know where Lao Wei is..."
"I don't know, and even if I knew I wouldn't tell you. Don't talk to me anymore. I don't want to bother with you."
Chai Yunyue: “…………”
After sending Chai Yunyue to the gate and watching him leave in disgrace, Mu Ling returned to the park.
When passing by the veterinary hospital, Mu Ling glanced over there and then fell silent.
Doctor Wu suddenly asked Chai Yunyue what he was doing here. Did Dean Qi Fenghao really want to know?
Not necessarily. If Dean Qi is really her great-uncle, then he should just want to remind her indirectly not to stop Chai Yunyue from taking Brother Xiang away.
His fingers gripped the steering wheel slightly tightly.
The elders had their own plan, and this plan required Brother Xiang's participation, but they didn't tell her directly because she didn't need to know about it, right? They kept it a secret from her to protect her, and she should be grateful...
But, is Brother Xiang’s life no longer a life?
Mu Ling was not afraid that Brother Xiang would leave.
She was just afraid that if he left, he would never come back... Was that what he wanted?
