She thought Gu Mingchen was getting under her skin too much. She was just being polite. “Didn’t I get in danger because I helped you?” Bai Rong said softly.
“Ah.” Gu Mingchen chuckled softly and said, “I won’t force you. Take a good rest.” Bai Rong had a strange feeling. He sounded like a sweet guy, so different from the person she knew when they first met.
“You have a good rest too. Bye.” Bai Rong hung up after speaking.
Lieutenant Shang glanced at Bai Rong but did not say a word. He sent her back to the hospital and the moment he returned to the base, he received a call from the chief.
“Has she reached home?” Gu Mingchen asked.
“No, she said send her to the hospital.” Lieutenant Shang reported truthfully.
“Got it.” Gu Mingchen hung up the call.
It was better for her to go back to the hospital than to go home.
At 8 a.m. the next day, Liu Yan rushed to Bai Rong’s office.
“Bai Rong, that bitch sued you! You will be sanctioned by the hospital. I heard she requested you to be fired.” Liu Yan said worriedly.
“The bitch you’re talking about is the pregnant woman who delivered that day?” Bai Rong asked in confusion.
“Yes. Why did you perform an unnecessary surgery?”
“The umbilical cord surrounded the neck of her child. If I hadn’t performed the surgery, the child would be dead. I’m not at fault, so how could the hospital sanction me?” Bai Rong said plausibly.
“I heard that it’s the higher-up who is putting pressure on the hospital, so I’ll ask around and see who is the one putting pressure. Could it be Su Xuyan? But he has no reason to do so.”
Bai Rong’s eyes glinted and called her husband, “It should be him.”
“Isn’t it a bit too late to think of me at this moment?” Su Xuyan said sarcastically.
“What do you want?!” Bai Rong lost her composure and yelled.
“I’ve told you that provoking me will do you no good. Now I’ll give you an hour to come home. Whatever happens will be at your risk if it exceeds one hour.” Su Xuyan hung up the phone without giving her a chance to speak.
“What did he say?” Liu Yan asked with concern.
“I’ll need to go back. Let me call our department head to apply for leave.” Bai Rong said helplessly.
“Why do you even care? Ask him to screw himself!” Liu Yan said infuriatingly.
“He’s from the Ministry of Health, so the hospital will not offend him. I will go. The matter must be resolved anyway. I’ll contact you later.” Bai Rong packed up her things and went back.
Opening the door to her apartment, she was greeted by Su Xuyan lounging lazily on the sofa.
Upon seeing his wife, he looked at his watch, “48 minutes. Well done. He then picked up a paper bag from his feet and threw it rudely onto the coffee table. As though he was rewarding her, he asked, “Here’s your reward. See if you like it?”
“Su Xuyan, what do you want? You are a free man, so why bother with me. Once I regret getting a divorce, you will only have endless troubles coming for you.” Bai Rong reasoned with him.
“When I’m sick of you, I’ll get the divorce. And it has to be me suggesting it. You are not in any position to do so.” Su Xuyan answered arrogantly.
The man took out a jewelry box and handed it to her, “Put it on.” Knowing that she couldn’t offend him, she stood still and looked into the interested eyes of Su Xuyan, then irritably took the gift.
He was a hunter who loved watching his prey struggle and enjoyed the fun of tracking and playing them. Their shot was ruthless, and they would never be interested in only one prey.
A pair of platinum diamond earrings caught her eyes when she opened the box, but it didn’t take her a second to close the box again and threw it onto the coffee table.
