Time flies to the end of March in the Gregorian calendar. After all, it was getting hot. When I opened the window at night, small flying insects kept flying in. Mo Weiming, who was working the night shift, couldn't bear the disturbance, so he finally pulled off a piece of tape and patched the hole in the screen window.
He was supposed to be working the day shift today, but he took a leave a few days ago and owed his colleagues a favor, so he simply continued to make up the night shift for him. After just one more day, it's time to go back to the 8 a.m. to 5 a.m. routine - and emergencies often like to take advantage of this jet lag.
In the quiet night, the sound of the phone downstairs broke in through the newly repaired screen window, beeping endlessly. A bad premonition spread in Mo Weiming's heart from the first second the bell rang. He counted in his mind for forty-four seconds before the gagging nurse hurried to pick him up. As expected, he and two other medical staff had no choice but to embark on a late-night journey to see patients.
The call came from the old city, but it was far away from the actual distance from the central hospital. The situation was said to be serious and the hospital dispatched an ambulance. House, firearms, sharp objects, and massive bleeding were the key words conveyed to them by the nurse who answered the phone. It sounds like a sudden home invasion incident.
The destination is the Yu Family Courtyard.
"It's definitely not theft. If you steal from the Yu family, you'll get tired of living."
"It's definitely an assassination. There were rumors before that the person killed in Feiye Bay had political disputes with them. It's been half a month, and I don't know when the National Police Agency will close the case... But this is beyond our responsibilities. The top priority is to save people. This is great. If something happens, we may not be able to escape responsibility."
"I heard there are guns. I don't know how many people are seriously injured. I don't know if the number of vehicles we have is enough. Carry out the seriously injured first, and we'll leave the others with two people to deal with. I don't know if the eldest lady is okay."
"The caller seems to be a girl, maybe a maid. I guess, since this is the case, maybe they have called the police, and we may meet with people from the police station..."
"Don't the people in the Yu family's deep compound hate interacting with outsiders?"
"Maybe it's really serious this time."
Hearing his colleagues talk to each other one by one, Mo Weiming remained silent. What they said was possible to Mo Weiming. There was just one thing: he remembered that there was something special about the Yu family. He still remembered clearly what Tianjiqing Shi Wuqi said.
amber……
The faint blue in his childhood eyes lingered in his mind. When Shi Wuqi mentioned it, he was only slightly concerned about it and didn't think much about it, let alone come to find out in person. But the opportunity just came to him, and he felt indescribable fear. One day later, the outpatient clinic quota will no longer belong to him. However, looking at the bright side, he is just a doctor. There is no need or possibility to go to other people's homes to rummage through boxes and cabinets.
To the south of Yu Mansion is Shi Wuqi's shop, and to the east is Qianhua Lane, but they are not completely bordered. The north side is next to the south bank of Sujiang River. It is said that in the more distant past, the north bank of the river was also the territory of the Yu family. Until later, with the war's need for material transportation, the development and management of rivers, and the further expansion of domestic and foreign trade... The Yu family returned the actual power of those territories to public resources to show their loyalty to the new forces. The area of the home is smaller, but the power in the hands is larger. Being able to stand in line is also a kind of ability.
arrive.
The hospital car couldn't drive into Yu's house, so they had to rush to the yard with medical equipment and a stretcher. A maid held a lantern to guide them. The lights in the courtyard have long been lit, and the bright light gives the landscaping of stones, plants and flowing water a unique mood. There are exotic flowers and plants whose names are hard to name, and the trees are taller than the others, and every one of them is old. As expected of being so close to Eclipse, the style of this generation retains the charm of the old days.
But Mo Weiming and the other doctors had no intention of admiring it, but hurriedly followed the maid who led the way. On the way, they heard her say in a panic that the housekeeper who had subdued the attacker had lost a lot of blood. Thanks to the quick response of Jiufang Butler, no more people were injured. The trouble is, the attacker is someone lurking within the family, so no matter how strong the security is, it will be impossible to prevent him this time.
"Who made the call? Is it you?" a doctor asked.
"No... it's the eldest lady." The maid paused, "She was also panicked at the time. According to the eldest mistress's rules, outsiders are not allowed to intervene in any matter in the family. The eldest mistress is afraid that she will punish her, and we servants will also It’s not easy to do.”
They rushed to the scene of the accident and saw a man sitting there as if nothing had happened. He had neat, straight short hair and was wearing a white shirt. A servant was holding a black and blue coat for him. There was a basin of hot water on the table next to him, as well as scissors, gauze, and ointment. Everything looked clean, but Mo Weiming keenly captured the blood in the air.
The water had to be changed several times before it became clear and steaming, and the towel beside the basin was still glowing red. He changed out of his white shirt, but traces of fresh blood could be seen on the corners of his clothes. The ground was also stained with blood that hadn't been wiped dry. His arms were wrapped with thick gauze, but his expression remained unchanged, as stiff and heartless as a stone sculpture.
"It's been a hard work. But as you can see, everything has been taken care of, so there is no need to trouble you. The eldest lady and the old man have already rested. I hope you won't disturb them too much. The others are not injured and do not need your help. Although I'm sorry to disturb you in the middle of the night, but you can go back."
"Are you kidding..." Mo Weiming heard his colleagues complain, "Is it easy to call the hospital? And there is no reason for us to be rushed back when we go to the clinic. At least let us check the injuries and make sure there are no serious problems before we leave. You guys The treatment methods may not be professional, and if there are sequelae, it will become our responsibility to make the diagnosis unfavorable."
"I'll say it again, please come back. The Yu family is old and young, and they can't stand the harassment of outsiders. It would be disrespectful for me to see the guests off in person."
Mo Weiming, who was standing at the door, walked in with a frown. Hearing this voice, he felt inexplicably familiar. And when Jiu Fangze and Mo Weiming's eyes met, he suddenly stood up.
This person...he had indeed seen it before. Mo Weiming took a step back, but secretly recalled it in his heart.
Four years ago, five years ago, or more? At that time, the tall man looked younger than he does now. It should be him. Complex thoughts were rushing through Mo Weiming's heart, and he forced himself to calm down.
"Sir, please cooperate with our work. If you are the only one injured, it is safest for us to check your injury, re-sterilize it, and bandage it with professional techniques. Rusty metal contacts the wound, or the wound is accidentally injured. If other debris is introduced, it will be detrimental to your recovery. Moreover, on the phone, Ms. Yu mentioned that someone was holding a gun. If this caused a penetrating injury, it would not be able to be treated with a simple bandage. If something happens to you Unexpectedly, the Yu family will lose a capable steward and their vitality will be severely damaged. If someone sneaks in by then, the gains will outweigh the losses. "
Even if he deliberately mentioned the eldest lady, Jiu Fangze's skin that seemed to be solidified did not show any emotion. He realized that Mo Weiming was not an easy man to deal with, so he might as well speak more clearly.
"I appreciate your kindness. The Yu family has a big business, is well-informed, and has rich experience in dealing with injuries. There is no need to worry too much about this. The gun belongs to the attacker, but Miss Ji was mistaken. I have taken the first step. It was time to seize the gun and subdue him. What hurt me was the fruit knife on the table. It had no rust, so don’t worry about it. I only suffered some skin injuries. It looked scary, but it was all a misunderstanding. The lady is too young. , I have never seen the world, so I am exaggerating for you."
"If there is an attack, I suggest you contact the police department. Until now, I have never seen any police officers." Mo Weiming couldn't help but ask, "And where is the attacker? How are his injuries? These are all us responsibilities.”
Jiu Fangze's tone became more severe: "The old lady doesn't want outsiders to disturb her, let alone call the police. Although the eldest lady is naughty by nature, she is kind-hearted. She disobeyed the old lady because of me. I don't know why the young lady was on the phone. Let me tell you... the incident happened suddenly, and she was too panicked, so no one stopped her. The time of both of us is quite precious, and it is worthless to waste it here. "
Seeing as he was still talking energetically, I guess it was nothing serious. Coupled with the attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, Mo Weiming's colleagues could not control their emotions and walked away.
"Okay! Let's just think that we worry so much that we deserve the trip in vain."
"They are our servants. They have their own way of handling matters. No one else has the right to interfere. Please come back."
Sitting in the ambulance on the way back, my colleagues were dejected. Some people complained that their family was as weird as the rumors said, and they even dared to say that the doctor was "an idler." No wonder they had so many enemies. Another colleague persuaded him, "That's all, as long as no one is killed, they don't have to worry about other things."
Mo Weiming couldn't stop thinking for a moment. It was unmistakable. Although he had just arrived in Yaozhou at that time, this man had left a deep impression on him. This time, not only did he not see Amber, he didn't even see the eldest lady's hair. But speaking of amber...why did Ms. Yu choose to seek medical treatment instead of using it? Isn't Amber at home? Or other reasons?
Moreover, the eldest lady named Yu Ying...
When the servants sent them out, Mo Weiming asked a few more questions. Although he didn't ask too much, there was some additional information. He thought about that passage over and over.
"You must have heard about our eldest lady's temper... Well, the servants were a lot angry. Mr. Jiufang said it nicely because he was concerned about the Yu family's face. Many people couldn't stand her temper, so they chose to leave. The courtyard is getting emptier and empty. Everyone is eager for Miss to be taught a lesson by the old lady. We were originally afraid of being implicated, but we were willing to lead the way because we were still afraid that Jiu Fang would be too seriously injured. The longer you stay, the angrier the old lady will be. He is the one who He is kind-hearted and doesn’t want the eldest lady to be involved.”
Mo Weiming suddenly raised his head and said to his colleagues.
"According to the procedure, you still have to come back to confirm, eliminate risks, and clarify medical care responsibilities. Since I am the substitute, if something like this happens, it will be my fault."
Everyone's eyes were one of awe.
