Chapter 572 - Chapter 572 Invite her to dinner

Chapter 572: Invite her to dinner Chapter 572: Invite her to dinner Fu Xinheng could only agree, “Fine, you can’t compare your running to that of other girls.”

“So, a man running, panting heavily with breaths, mustn’t be a long-distance runner. Running and panting are two different things. As for panting, I can definitely tell the difference. How could someone panting catch up to me? Especially since it was climbing stairs, which places an even higher demand on cardiorespiratory stamina.”

“Did you mention this to the police?”

“I did hint to the police that he was panting when he caught up to me. I’m not sure if they grasped what I meant. Actually, after you, Teacher Fu, arrived, I thought about it some more and realized he might have taken some drugs that caused hyperexcitability, allowing him to catch up to me despite not being in the best physical condition.”

After the teachers processed her words, Fu Xinheng picked up his phone and called Section Chief Wang at the city bureau: “We have some information that needs to be reported to your police force. You might want to get a blood sample from the suspect to check for needle marks in his veins.”

Having heard his words, Section Chief Wang understood, “Are you doctors suspecting that he used drugs?”

“Exactly. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have all those hallucinations, insisting he had seen treatment at our Guoxie despite that not being the case, just because Guoxie is the most famous in the country. And he even prepared such a long knife. Where could he have bought that? We, as doctors, see this kind of knife frequently in emergency rooms; it’s a tool typically associated with organized crimes.”

“We have received the information from you doctors,” Section Chief Wang said, appearing ready to agree with their assessment.

Suddenly, a colleague burst into the office, flustered, “Section Chief Wang, there’s trouble at the detention center.”

“What happened?”

“Our colleague went to deliver food to the suspect, the one involved in the Guoxie case. He suddenly went crazy and bit our colleague.”

The police conversation was overheard at the hospital.

“That’s it then.” Zhu Huicang concluded, loosening his collar, feeling relieved that the cardiology department could fully clear its name now.

With the situation resolved, the cardiology department was ready to pull out. As Fu Xinheng got up, he said to Xie Wanying, “If you have time, I’d like to take you out for a meal.”

Teacher Fu was inviting her to dinner?

The neurosurgery department was initially surprised. Zhu Huicang quickly checked his old classmate while pulling Robot aside, “Why do you want to take her out for dinner?”

“She helped us, shouldn’t I treat her?” Fu Xinheng replied. He remembered what Chang Jiawei had said, that it was crucial to build connections when scouting talent, especially for girls who found this particularly appealing. He shouldn’t fall behind others. Just a meal, he thought.

“No need.” Zhu Huicang dragged him out, “Don’t let her get the wrong idea.”

“What misunderstanding?”

This Robot just didn’t understand subtleties.

“No, just tell me, what might be misunderstood?” Fu Xinheng insisted, holding on to Zhu Huicang’s hand, questioning him, “Haven’t you also taken her out for a meal before?”

Why could others court her favor, but he couldn’t? Fu Xinheng was genuinely annoyed.

“I never took her out for a meal,” Zhu Huicang explained, “If you ostentatiously invite her alone, people will get suspicious. Last time, it was Teacher Tan who invited a group of people out, not just her.”

That’s true, she initially invited Senior Cao to dinner, and then the whole group of senior brothers and sisters celebrated with her subsequently.

“Avoiding impropriety?” Fu Xinheng understood and reluctantly gave up, saying, “We’ll talk about it when she does her internship at our department.”

Was Teacher Fu inviting her to intern at the cardiothoracic surgery department?
