Chapter 125 - Let Me Handle It (2/2)

In order to not make matters worse, Little Six summoned the yellow-toothed, tattooed man to the fire escape and asked about the situation.

Soon, the professional troublemakers had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few family members who had been blinded by greed.

“Brother Zheng, this is a difficult issue to deal with,” said Little Six, embarra.s.sed.

“Let us talk in my office.” Zheng Ren preferred not to discuss this matter in front of the troublemakers.

Little Six put a few men on guard duty in the obstetrics department to prevent the patient’s family members from harming medical staff. Then, he followed Zheng Ren to the office in the emergency department.

Su Yun trailed behind them with his head lowered and his footsteps light, as if he was sleepwalking.

“Brother Zheng, honestly, this is troublesome,” said Little Six as soon as he entered the office and closed the door.

“How troublesome?” Zheng Ren was also aware of the magnitude of their situation, and he wanted to hear Little Six’s judgement.

“The troublemakers alone don’t pose any threat,” Little Six said, “However, I hadn’t expected them to have connections with the newspapers or even invite a reporter to the scene.”

Zheng Ren sighed heavily.

“Had this happened a few years ago, you’d not need to pay them much mind. Just shoot them a glare, give them a red packet, and everything would be settled, but now…” Little Six looked helpless.

Zheng Ren recalled the slogan—crime prevention is everyone’s responsibility!—that Little Six had shown him the day he had accepted Bu Li’s invitation for dinner.

However, calling the police would be pointless in this case.

After noticing Zheng Ren’s dejected, sunken expression, Little Six immediately added, “I’ll visit the newspaper office tomorrow and see if I can find anyone to talk this over with.”

Zheng Ren thought about it and smiled.

Little Six was taken by surprise. What happened to Doctor Zheng? Had he lost his mind due to tremendous stress?

“I used to hate socializing. How dull it is to share nonsense with a bunch of boring people and pretend to be best friends for life…” Zheng Ren continued to smile and said, “Let me handle it this time.”

Little Six lowered his gaze in response. He had intended to propose an option to Zheng Ren.

There was an easier method to settle this issue—seeking help from either Miss Bu or Elder San, both of whom had high social statuses. The medical staff was in the right this time, but even in an unreasonable situation, they still held the power to turn the tides.

“In that case, we have no choice but to wait. I’ll make a phone call as soon as the sun rises.” Zheng Ren stretched himself lazily.

Even though it was already past five o’clock in the morning, the winter sky was still as dark as coal outside the window.

Like a black hole, consuming all light.

Before taking his leave, Little Six repeatedly advised Zheng Ren to call him without hesitation in case of trouble.

Zheng Ren returned to the on-call room after seeing Little Six out. Laying on the bed with his hands underneath his head, he stared at the inky darkness outside, waiting for dawn to come.

That was all he could do right now.

Fortunately, it was just a small local newspaper instead of a large firm. Not everything was lost yet.

“I left Imperial Capital because of this.” Su Yun brushed his black bangs aside. “We’ll always meet this type of people in the medical field. Hey, I think you’re doomed this time, so let us establish a pet medical center together.”

Zheng Ren ignored Su Yun, who was just blathering.

“How did you find him?” asked Zheng Ren absent-mindedly.

“Xie Yiren has his phone number. She gave it to me a few days ago and told me to call it if trouble arose,” Su Yun said lazily, “I didn’t expect a blockhead like you to also have good social connections.”

“This isn’t actually a problematic issue. I think Chief Physician Pan can easily settle it.”

“You can’t always trouble an old comrade either.”
