Chapter 496 - Sudden Panic (1/2)

On the high-speed train, there were not many people sitting in the first-cla.s.s seats.

The journey was less than an hour, and the tickets for first-cla.s.s would cost a few dozens of dollars more. Most people would think it was not worth it.

Su Yun was quite satisfied with Gao Shaojie’s arrangements. He listened to music, played with his phone, and occasionally looked at the scenery from outside the window.

The high-speed train left the Provincial Capital. Zheng Ren leaned against the window and quietly looked outside. No one knew what he was thinking.

“Boss, are you thinking about Liu Tianxing’s condition?” Su Yun asked with a teasing expression as he moved closer to Zheng Ren.

“Yes,” Zheng Ren answered. He did not try hard to hide what he was thinking.

“When did you become so sentimental? Liu Tianxing wants to kill you. Don’t you hate him?”

“I did think so too in the beginning.” Zheng Ren put his right index finger on his lips and looked out the window. His voice sounded a little erratic. “But recently as technology becomes more advanced, I’ve been less and less interested in Liu Tianxing.”

“Oh, so you still actually think about people? You talk as if you can do anything.”

“I grew up in an orphanage.” Zheng Ren smiled. “I was bullied. If I didn’t fight back, more people would bully me. In the end, I’d be worse than a stray dog.”

Su Yun did not have such life experience and was stunned.

“The hospital is only a part of society. To a large extent, the ways of the world are the same. Liu Tianxing wants to kick me out of the General Hospital. I’ve told you this in the Capital. I can’t let this go.”

“Hey, my uncle has resigned.”

Zheng Ren did not answer Su Yun. He looked out the window like a philosopher thinking about the future and tomorrow.

“Others treat me well and I want to repay them. With a drop of kindness, a gus.h.i.+ng spring returns.”

“Is this like how you refuse to resign because of Chief Physician Pan?”

Zheng Ren nodded. “If others want to mess with me, I have to take revenge. Otherwise, if everyone sees a soft persimmon, who wouldn’t want to step on it?”

“For the first time, I think you’re right.” Su Yunshen agreed. Just like school bullies, entering society has never changed. It’s just that there are some changes in the way they do it.”

“But today, I saw Liu Tianxing raise his head on the stretcher. The moment our eyes met, do you know what I thought?” Zheng Ren asked.

“You don’t actually want to operate on him now, do you?”

“Yes, I do.” Zheng Ren sighed. “I’m afraid of this thought.”

The teasing look on Su Yun’s face disappeared. It was rare for him to not poke fun at Zheng Ren.

“The Medical University’s level of surgery is not as good as mine. I have a thirty percent chance of helping him recover but why would I want to operate on him?” Zheng Ren was very confused. This was the first time Su Yun had seen Zheng Ren reveal his true feelings after meeting him. He revealed the contradictions in his three views.

“Boss, let me tell you. Is there a problem with the point you’re focusing on?” The two of them were silent for almost a minute. Su Yun’s face revealed a familiar expression. After he finished speaking, he blew at his fringe. The hair on his forehead fluttered about as he silently said, “Why am I so handsome?”

“Huh? What problem?” Zheng Ren did not understand what Su Yun meant.

“What happens on the tenth of December?” Su Yun asked.

“It’s the date for the n.o.bel Prize award,” Zheng Ren answered without hesitation.

“Hey! You said that you weren’t coveting the n.o.bel Prize. Are you actually looking forward to getting the n.o.bel prize?” Su Yun returned to normal and said this to him sarcastically.

“Everyone knows. It’s common knowledge.”

“You’re a heartless man.” Su Yun clicked his tongue and said, “Don’t you know that the tenth of December is Little Yiren’s birthday?”

Su Yun’s words successfully diverted Zheng Ren’s attention.

Liu Tianxing, the sparks created by the fierce collision between curing a patient, and saving a life… All of these were not as important as Xie Yiren.

“Boss, is your fickle nature a natural part of your personality?” Su Yun asked.

“I… I…” Zheng Ren stuttered.
