57 Shadow (2/2)

When they were almost done, spending a great time, Dongmei suddenly felt a quiet beeping from the bedroom. She was very familiar with that sound as she heard it almost every day at work. It was the sound of her pager which all doctors had and informed about various special cases in the hospital.

Her initial reaction for the sound was to quickly rush up to it, but then she looked at the plate with the last shrimp on the fork before checking Wuxing's expression and she hesitated for a moment.

”Maybe it is something important? It sounds like a pager so maybe you should check it out.” Wuxing commented as he looked at her reactions to which she nodded, saying unhappily, ”It's a signal from another doctor telling me that a patient is seriously injured and that he can't operate on his own.”

”Well, then why are you not going to check it out? Aren't you a doctor? The food can wait and I'm not going to escape from you either.” Wuxing found the situation quite simple and quickly asked, taking the plate away from her, even finishing the last shrimp to show there was nothing else for her to stay here.

”But I'm on my break… I wanted to spend the whole day with you…” Dongmei said unhappily, feeling like her plans were ruined, but Wuxing slapped her butt as a response and picked her up against her will, carrying her towards her closet. Her butt was naked with only her panties left while her top only had his t-shirt on, so she had to change anyway before leaving.

Placing her on the ground, he pointed towards the clothes and ordered, leaving her no chance to reject, ”Go change and rush towards the patient. If you don't save him then I'm going to be mad at you and I won't cuddle you tonight in bed.”

”Will you do so if I save him?” Dongmei asked interested while picking up the nearest bra. Wuxing knew that his carrot will work on her so he nodded, helping her hook up her bra at the same time, ”Yes. You will get a nice reward tonight if you do well.”

”Alright!” Hearing his confirmation, she explained happily and quickly wore her clothes, motivation visible in her eyes. If she could such rewards for work, she wouldn't mind taking overtime.

Taking the pager out from her drawer, she read the message on the screen and cursed right away, realising it was serious, ”Damn, it's a stab wound! How come someone got stabbed in this prison! What's more, its a guard!”

Wuxing frowned after hearing the news but quickly returned to his calm expression and called out to her, ”Then go, hurry. They need you.”

Dongmei put on her shoes hurriedly and run up to Wuxing, kissing him with an apologetic expression and said, ”I know, I need to go quickly. I will try to patch him up quickly and come back soon.”

”You can do it!” Wuxing cheered for her as Dongmei ran towards the doors and she gave him a warm smile together with a wave as she left. Just as he left, Wuxing looked towards the balcony and smiled, walking back towards the kitchen.

After more than five minutes of waiting, making sure that Dongmei wasn't coming back, he called out, ”How long are you planning to wait outside? It must be quite hard hanging there like that.”

Thud.

A person dropped down from the roof onto the balcony and entered the room right away, asking in a deep male voice, ”How did you know?” It turned out it was Shadow in his black outfit who was waiting outside for Dongmei to leave.

Wuxing flipped over the fish with a spatula and explained, ”It's obvious. There is very little chance that someone would stab a guard in the middle of day like that. I saw the protection here and its almost impossible to hurt the guard unless he wants to. Only if many people are involved there would be a higher chance, but there was only one victim and in case of a revolution, there would be much more wounded. The only reasonable answer is someone appearing and attacking a guard solo. There was only one victim necessary to lead Dongmei away from the apartment and the only person who wanted that would be someone sent by her father. Am I correct?”

”Bullshit. That's such a stretch. There is no way you would figure it out like this.” Shadow didn't believe it at all, calling Wuxing out without hesitation, to which he only shrugged as he continued to fry the fish on the pan and said, ”I saw the earth falling from the roof so I know there might be someone on the roof. I only connected the dots when you came in. If you didn't, I wouldn't know you are there. I just bluffed.”

Shadow sat down on the sofa and showed a rare smile from behind of his mask, ”Smart, but that won't help you keep Miss.”

”What do you want?” Wuxing asked as he placed the fish on the plate and sprinkled it with lemon before sitting on the opposite sofa to Shadow.

Shadow smiled and pulled out the phone from his pocket, throwing it towards him and called out, going straight to the point, ”Mr Guan wants to talk.”
