"Hey—, the person inside, open the door right now, or I'll call for help." The nurse disregarded hospital rules, worried that something might happen inside, and kept banging on the ward door, trying to get the person inside to come out.
Di Sheng anxiously peered inside. The lights in the ward flickered, and he could vaguely see a figure lying motionless on the ground, seemingly dead. Sensing something was wrong, he immediately went to find someone, preparing to break down the door together.
Xu Qingqing moved the chair that was propping up the door. The men outside who were banging on the door were stunned when they saw it suddenly open. They couldn't stop themselves from lurching forward, and they shouted in horror, "Get out of the way—"
Seeing that they were about to crash into Xu Qingqing in front of them, the group closed their eyes, unable to bear to watch. With the force of the impact, even if they weren't crippled, they wouldn't be in much better shape.
Xu Qingqing had anticipated this, and just as they were about to crash into her, she took a step back and hid behind the door. The group of people were propelled forward by inertia until they stepped on something, tripped, and fell hard.
Hai Fugui was the worst off. Not only was he stepped on several times, but he also had to bear the weight of several people, which made him roll his eyes back and almost unable to breathe. He couldn't say a word.
Xu Qingqing stepped forward and lifted them up one by one. If she didn't hurry, she was afraid Hai Fugui wouldn't be able to hold on and would kick the bucket.
When the nurse entered the ward and found that nothing serious had happened, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her expression immediately turned stern as she reprimanded Director Li and the others: "You, you, you guys blocked the door. If anything had happened in the middle, who could have taken responsibility?"
What angered the nurse was that by blocking the door without her consent, she would also be held responsible if something happened.
Xu Qingqing touched her nose and bravely stepped forward: "That was my responsibility. I was the one who barred the door and wanted to quietly enjoy the show."
"What melon?" The nurse asked, puzzled. She looked around and checked, but couldn't find the melon she was referring to. Thinking the nurse was playing a trick on her, she said angrily, "Where's the melon? I don't see it. Comrade, how could you lie? And... anyway..."
Xu Qingqing felt dizzy and drowsy from listening to the nurse's incessant scolding. She looked up at the light bulb above her head; the filament inside was flickering and could break at any moment, or even explode.
The nurse then noticed that Xu Qingqing was daydreaming. It turned out that she hadn't heard a word of what Xu Qingqing had said and was actually just spacing out.
"Comrade! I'm talking to you. Your attitude is really too much. If you continue like this, I will definitely report it to our leaders and explain what happened tonight."
Seeing that things were not going well, Director Li quickly went over there, smiled apologetically at the nurse, bent down and earnestly apologized: "Nurse, please don't hold it against her, she has a problem here!"
As he spoke, he pointed to his head, leaned closer to the nurse, and whispered, "Don't be fooled by her seemingly normal state now. When she has an attack, she'll be ruthless, biting anyone she can get her hands on, even tearing flesh off your body."
"Really? Is it true?" Upon hearing this, the nurse glanced at Xu Qingqing and saw her strange look and the sound of her grinding her teeth. Her face turned pale instantly. Oh my god, she wanted to go home.
Factory Director Li was close enough to see her trembling. He didn't understand why, but then he realized that she might have been scared after hearing what he heard and wanted to comfort her. Then he remembered that he was trying to help Xu Qingqing out of a predicament.
If he were to explain that he was just talking nonsense, wouldn't that be a slap in his own face? And then there's that petty, crazy guy waiting to teach him a lesson.
Seeing that she was really scared, Director Li patted his chest and assured her, "Don't worry, as long as we don't provoke her, we'll be safe. There's absolutely nothing to worry about."
Even though the nurse was scared, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. A guarantee? What guarantee could he offer? His body? Forget it.
Taking a few steps back and seeing that there was nothing wrong inside, the nurse quickly said, "Since there's nothing wrong inside, I'll continue my shift. Hehe, whether there's anything or not, wait for the next shift of medical staff tomorrow. Hey, you guys, loud noises are prohibited in the hospital, you should all go to sleep and rest."
After saying that, he took off running before anyone could react, afraid that someone would catch up with him.
Xu Qingqing watched the nurse run away like a rabbit, twitched the corner of her mouth, glanced back and saw that Di Sheng had already untied the curtains covering Hai Fugui and helped him up. When he saw the injuries on Hai Fugui's face, he immediately became angry and blamed Director Li for being too ruthless, saying, "Look what you've done to him!"
Afterwards, Di Sheng settled Hai Fugui on the hospital bed before questioning Director Li: "Old Li, I'm not trying to criticize you, but how could you be so ruthless? He's been your brother for decades, couldn't you have been more tolerant?"
He had witnessed the two men's falling out, and now, watching them stab each other with knives, hurting each other, he felt heartbroken and said, "Can't you two just talk things out calmly?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingqing scoffed as if she had heard the best joke ever, and retorted, "Old comrade, let me ask you this: if your good brother secretly tried to kill you, could you forgive him? Then sit down and have a calm conversation with him. Ask yourself honestly, could you do that?"
Di Sheng was speechless. Yes, anyone could bear this.
"Ha, just like you bystanders, you can think that everything is easy to talk about, and that a victim can forgive the perpetrator. It's only because you're shameless and haven't been burned yourself that you're willing to be good people."
Xu Qingqing loathed this kind of person. They weren't the victims themselves, so why should they make decisions for the victims? Some disgusting, self-righteous people would argue that you're not innocent, but they would deliberately stab the victims in the heart. Sometimes, these kinds of people are even more terrifying than the perpetrators.
They never think they are wrong, and they never recognize their own shortcomings. They simply continue to uphold their own sense of justice, basking in the glow of hypocrisy.
Then who would know the darkness hidden in the hearts of those people?
Factory Director Li was deeply moved. He vowed that from this day forward, he would never call her "Little Crazy" again.
Di Sheng lowered his head, opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't continue. Looking at Factory Director Li with a guilty expression, he said shamefully, "Old Li, I never thought I'd get so old and confused. Old Hai did something wrong, and I'm the one pleading for him. Sigh—"
He didn't say anything more. Director Li understood that the reason why their brotherhood had come to this point after all these years was because he had never truly seen through the allure of wealth and power. The rest was his own problem.
