Chapter 110 - A Means Between Light And Darkness (1/2)

Zheng Ren took out his cell phone and called the emergency department.

Soon, a paramedic rushed over with a stretcher trolley, almost out of breath.

Zheng Ren leaned closer to the paramedic and said softly, “Everything is fine.”

“A troublemaker?” guessed the paramedic, an experienced man, as he scanned the area.

“Yes.” After the brief conversation, they quickly transferred the rogue to the stretcher trolley and hurried to the emergency department.

Upon arrival at the emergency department, Zheng Ren pushed the stretcher trolley directly into an empty treatment room instead of the observation unit, closed the door and said, “The patient has lost consciousness. It’s a serious condition and we’re in big trouble now.”

The young traffic officer’s face was chalk-white.

Due to a lack of experience, he could not grasp the meaning behind Zheng Ren’s words.

“Prepare for resuscitation!” yelled Zheng Ren furiously while repeatedly blinking his eyes, trying to give the traffic officer a hint.

After that, he left the room, looked for the night s.h.i.+ft nurse and gave her a few instructions in a low voice.

The nurse smiled with a gleam in her eyes. “Chief Zheng, you look so honest, how did you even come up with such an evil plan?”

“A troublemaker has been drunk driving, isn’t that enough?” replied Zheng Ren with a grin.

Drunken driving and brawls were the most annoying issues ever encountered in hospitals.

Zheng Ren had no issue with alcohol, but when people started losing control of themselves after getting drunk, it could inadvertently lead to tragedy.

For example, a student due for a college entrance examination the next day had been struck by a drunk driver during a walk and was reduced to a vegetative state. In another case, a husband had taken his pregnant wife for a stroll, but a drunk driver had brought all of them to heaven…

Thus, Zheng Ren hated such people the most.

He was a good man, but not a doormat. He had his own judgment, and at certain breaking points, he would break the rules and furtively seek revenge.

Just like now.

After collecting the right medication, the nurse went to the treatment room and started injecting them into the drunk rogue’s veins.

Then, she hung up a bottle of solution and maximized the infusion rate.

“He should be fine if he regains consciousness. Otherwise, we’ll have to resuscitate him.” It was pure nonsense, but Zheng Ren maintained his serious tone.

The young traffic officer was completely drenched in a cold sweat as if a war was raging within his mind. His imagination was going wild with the fear of getting suspended for this incident.

“He… He should be… be fine, right?” the officer stuttered in fright.

Zheng Ren patted his shoulder to signify that everything was fine.

However, the young traffic officer still could not understand Zheng Ren’s actions. His mind had gone blank from the start.

“Doctor, please make sure he is alright,” he said pitifully, “I didn’t even touch him.”

“It depends on the effects of the drug.” Zheng Ren’s expression remained at ease despite his solemn tone. “Drugs with special effects have been administered. If the patient wakes up, everything will be fine. Otherwise, I’ll have to admit him to the hospital.”

After that, Zheng Ren turned around and left without looking at the drunk ruffian, who was pretending to be unconscious.

Sitting on a hard, red plastic bench at the door, he explained his current situation in the group chat and inquired about the CT result.

Zheng Yunxia had finished a contrast-enhanced CT scan, and everyone was discussing where they would have dinner at the moment.

Zheng Ren was speechless; everyone always left him behind when going out for a meal. Even though he disliked eating out and hectic environments, he could not help but feel that the whole world had abandoned him.

It was deeply depressing.

Xie Yiren seemed to detect Zheng Ren’s dejection from the other side of the phone and volunteered to bring food for him.

Chang Yue mentioned in the group chat that she had gone for another ward round and all patients were stable, and so he could take his time returning to the emergency department.

The group chat became silent afterward.

‘They must have gone for dinner.’ Zheng Ren helplessly turned off the phone.

‘Well, they might as well go. Youngsters prefer a lively environment anyway,’ he thought, reverting to an old-fas.h.i.+oned mindset for a moment.
