Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Doctor Lu Slapped in the Face

Lu Jing, being a doctor, naturally couldn’t just stand by and watch.

Not eating and training so fiercely would lead to vomiting, which meant his body had indeed reached its limit.

If he continued, he likely would suffer some degree of physical harm.

"Lai Xingchen."

"Ah?"

"Make a phone call."

???

Probably stunned for two seconds, he then reacted sharply:

"Oh, oh, okay, I’ll call right away."

It went directly to a video call, and after roughly three rings, Jiang Ye’s face appeared on the screen.

"Is there a problem?"

Lai Xingchen shook his head vigorously, looking quite timid through the screen:

"No, no, not at all, it’s Doctor Lu, Doctor Lu is looking for you, Captain Jiang."

....

At the firefighter training ground, a man silently made a gesture, and the previously widespread cries instantly quieted down.

On the screen, Lu Jing looked very serious, his gaze fixed straight on the camera.

Then he spoke word by word:

"Come for an infusion!"

"Your medicine was prepared long ago. If you couldn’t make it and didn’t notify us in advance, wasting medical resources is shameful!"

After he finished speaking, the video call was abruptly cut off.

Sheesh, didn’t even give a chance to respond, huh?

But, at the training ground, someone laughed.

He moved his neck and glanced over the group in front of him:

"Dismissed!"

This sudden dismissal shocked everyone—they thought they were about to be driven to death today!

"Wow, are we dismissed just like that?"

"Really?"

"Why did Demon Jiang suddenly become so kind?"

Jiang Ye didn’t care what these people were thinking; his long legs already striding a great distance, wishing he could reach the hospital ward in three seconds.

...

On the hospital’s side, Lu Jing felt very uneasy.

He had spoken very clearly last night, and the two of them seemed to have agreed.

Who knew that first thing in the morning... their agreement would be slapped back in their faces?

From an angle no one could see, he fiercely despised himself:

Lu Jing, oh, Lu Jing, letting your good nature lead you astray!

Letting your sympathy overflow!

Now you’re in an awkward position, aren’t you?

Indeed, the moment the call ended, Lu Jing regretted it.

Why should he care about someone else?

Even if there was an issue, that person had others to worry about her!

Ah, why isn’t there a pill for regret in this world?

However, his self-scorn was soon abruptly interrupted.

"Doctor Lu, there’s an emergency surgery; the patient has already been taken to the operating room."

"Alright, I’m on my way!"

He sighed in relief.

Now, he wouldn’t have to worry about the awkwardness anymore.

After all, once inside the operating room, you’re completely isolated from the outside.

As for Jiang Ye, it was obvious he had rushed over.

After he entered the ward, his sharp gaze instantly scanned around.

"Where is she?" he asked.

On the inner hospital bed, Lai Xingchen uncontrollably shivered twice before replying:

"She’s gone to the operating room!"

Man, that was scary.

Sure enough, upon hearing someone was in the operating room, Jiang Ye’s face immediately turned icy, his gaze ominously fixing on Lai Xingchen:

"What did you guys say?"

Cough, cough.

"Nothing, we didn’t say anything, just had a chat."

A chat?

If it was just a simple chat, that woman probably wouldn’t have contacted him out of the blue.

"Spill it."

Hiss~

Jiang Ye, of course, wanted to know exactly what had caused that woman to suddenly change her mind.

But poor Comrade Lai Xingchen was now wracking his brain, trying to recall every word previously said.
