Huo Yan went to the vending machine in the elevator room and bought two bottles of water. When he came back, Ning Shuyi could no longer be seen by the window at the end of the corridor.
Looking around again, I saw her sitting on a chair on the edge of the corridor on the other side, waving to me.
Huo Yan walked over, sat down next to her, and handed over the water: "Why don't you stay by the window sill? Are you tired of standing?"
"Don't think people are so lazy!" Ning Shuyi raised a finger and shook it in front of him, "I'm afraid you're allergic to pollen, so I think it's better to sit here."
Huo Yan was stunned for a moment, his expression slightly uncomfortable, as if he was worried that Ning Shuyi would follow this topic and start asking more questions.
But after waiting quietly for a long time, Ning Shuyi just drank water silently and took out his phone to check messages, with no intention of talking to him.
Her calm reaction made Huo Yan a little confused, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange: "You didn't plan to ask me anything?"
"No." Ning Shuyi looked at him, shook his head, and smiled, "Is it possible that you were expecting me to ask you something?"
"No." Huo Yan denied this without hesitation. He was silent for a moment, and then said with a bit of self-mockery, "I thought you had noticed something, and wanted to break the casserole and ask the truth, and then provide me with something. There’s help.”
"Put your heart in my heart, but I don't have that kind of hobby." Ning Shuyi raised his hand and patted Huo Yan's shoulder gently, "Providing help to others after asking for help is goodwill and a kind deed.
If someone has no intention of asking for help at all, and one-sidedly insists on thinking that someone else has something embarrassing to hide, and inquires about it thoroughly, and then says that he wants to help others solve their difficulties, it is all hypocrisy. In the final analysis, people who do this kind of thing only want to satisfy themselves. Just curiosity!
If you want to inquire about other people's privacy out of pure curiosity and gossip, how low-level it would seem! So I have to wrap it up, I have to say, I think you have a knot in your mind! I think you need to talk, maybe I can help you! "
When she said this, she deliberately put on a "compassionate" expression. Even Huo Yan, who rarely showed emotions, couldn't help but lower his head slightly and chuckle.
Neither of the two mentioned any more topics related to Xinghua. They were sitting in the corridor of the hospital and it was not convenient to talk about work, so they simply stopped talking. One of them took his mobile phone and replied to the question that he had been saving up for most of the day. A bunch of news, and the other one leaned his head on the wall behind the chair, closing his eyes and concentrating.
No one spoke, and no one felt there was anything embarrassing or uncomfortable.
After almost half an hour, a patient completed the operation and was returned to the treatment area surrounded by his family members. Several nurses immediately got busy. One of them had just received them and told Ning Shu by the way. Yi, this surgery was performed by Dr. Xiao they were looking for.
Now that the patient has returned, Dr. Xiao can return to the office after handling the follow-up matters, and they can communicate with him then.
Ning Shuyi quickly thanked her, and Huo Yan got up and waited near the doctor's office so as not to interfere with other people's normal work.
After a lot of chaos, the post-operative patient was finally settled back into the ward. Judging from the excited voices of the patient's family members, the operation should have been a success.
About ten minutes later, a middle-aged male doctor in his forties walked toward the office with a tired look on his face. He was still wearing operating room clothes and had not taken off his sterile cap, but Ning Shuyi They could still recognize based on the introductions of doctors and nurses posted in the corridor just now that this was Chang Rong's attending doctor.
It is estimated that when they were in the ward just now, the nurse had already found an opportunity to tell Dr. Xiao about the police coming. When he saw two strangers standing at the door of the office, he did not show any surprise.
Especially when Ning Shuyi presented evidence and explained his purpose, he calmly opened the office door and motioned for them to go in and talk slowly.
"I'm sorry, you guys sit down first. I'll drink some water and catch my breath." Dr. Xiao took off the sterile cap on his head and threw it away. He washed his hands again in the sink nearby, and then picked it up from his desk. A huge tea cup, "I entered the operating room before nine o'clock in the morning for this operation, and it has only been completed now. I have stood for so long without eating or drinking. What else can I say? My throat is so thirsty and smoking, It’s inconvenient to speak.”
Ning Shuyi hurriedly spoke politely to him, saying that Dr. Xiao was working very hard and that the inquiry was not urgent.
She was previously worried about whether Dr. Xiao, who was the most direct insider to the whole incident of Chang Rong being sent to the hospital for treatment, would be willing to communicate. Now when she heard the doctor speak, she found that he had a relatively cheerful personality, which was very important to them. It's definitely a good thing.
When Dr. Xiao drank more than half a glass of water in one breath, stretched out on the chair for a while, and sat up straight again, she knew it was the time to speak.
"Dr. Xiao worked hard. He performed such a long operation and had to be interrupted by us. We will try to keep the conversation short and give you time to rest." She said politely.
Doctor Xiao waved his hand: "You and us, let alone whether the other is working hard or not, is the relationship between the eldest brother and the second brother.
Which patient did you come to me to ask about? Many of the patients I have handled have been involved in forensic and legal disputes. "
"Chang Rong." Ning Shuyi said the name of Chang Junchao's father, the deceased in their case, "I wonder if Dr. Xiao still remembers it."
"Chang Rong?" Dr. Xiao didn't expect that Ning Shuyi was asking him. After being slightly stunned, he immediately nodded, "I'm impressed, and it's quite profound."
"After so many years, Dr. Xiao can still remember it so clearly?"
"Yes, I have dealt with many patients over the years, but Chang Rong is the one who impressed me the most. Don't talk about it now. If you ask me in twenty years, I will still be able to tell you his name immediately. Let me remind you of what happened back then!”
Dr. Xiao shook his head gently and felt deeply: "To others, they are patients. Here I am only responsible for treating illnesses and saving people. As for their rights and wrongs and lawsuits outside the scope of the hospital, it has nothing to do with me.
But this Chang Rong is different. Because I was his attending doctor back then, I was taught a solid lesson by their family. It allowed me to have a new understanding of people and human nature for the first time in so many years of medical practice. This understanding has really broadened my horizons! "
