Meanwhile in another part of the hospital; someone else was also being questioned.
Unity Hospital- Private office
Elder Qin had tears in his eyes at laughing so hard at his son. He couldn't believe his ears when his son had told him he was locked in Li Xiuying's office. He wiped the tears from his eyes and looked at his eldest son: ”Why did Dr. Li lock you in her office?”
Qin Song didn't speak.
Qin Song had tried calling Jiang Huan first, but after trying for the 5th time in the last hour and a half with no response he gave in and called his father.
Elder Qin looked at his son with a critical eye, he was wandering why Song was so reluctant to speak: ”What did you do?”
Qin Song didn't answer and sat in his chair like an ice sculpture.
Elder Qin's voice took on a stubborn tone: ”You're not leaving until you tell me.”
Qin Song knew that if he didn't say anything that his Father would stubbornly follow him around until he received an answer; his father had once followed him around for two weeks.
Qin Song: ”A simple misunderstanding.”
Elder Qin pressed on: ”A misunderstanding about what?”
Qin Song: ”She misunderstood.”
Elder Qin looked at his son suspiciously: ”Why are you treating your words like treasure? Just hurry up and tell me.”
Qin Song's phone started ringing.
One word appeared in his mind: Saved.
He took out his phone and looked at the screen; it was Qin Xian Jun.
Qin Song's was saved. He answered the call: ”Hello.”
Qin Xian Jun: ”Bro, you need to come to the company ASAP. Huang Teng the CEO of World Bank has just arrived at the company and wants to speak to you.”
Qin Song: ”I'm on my way.”
Qin Song: ”Father, Jun just called. There's an urgent matter at the...”
Elder Qin rose from his chair and started walking to the door: ”I heard. Let's go and see what Huang Teng wants all of a sudden. You can tell me what happened with Dr. Li on the way to the company.”
Qin Song followed his father; his face displayed his usual icy expression but on inside he was filled with regret at having called his father.
He thought to himself: I should have just called a lock smith.
