C171 (2/2)

In the afternoon, as Zhang Jian was changing shifts with the Old Hu, he went straight back to the clinic. However, when he found out that Zhao Lei was looking for something at the front desk, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

On closer look, Zhao Lei's expression was a little furtive, as if she was afraid of being discovered.

”Xiao Lei, what are you doing?” The Old Hu approached them carefully before calling out to them.

Zhao Lei was originally squatting under the counter, but this sound startled her. She quickly stood up and bumped into the counter.

”Aiyo!”

”Kid, why are you so careless!” Old Hu hurriedly went forward to look at her, her eyes revealing a look of pain.

”I'm fine, I'm fine …” Zhao Lei struggled free from the Old Hu, her hands behind her back as if she was hiding something.

When Old Hu saw this, he became even more suspicious.

”Little Lei, what's that in your hand?” His tone was not very serious, mainly because she was afraid that she would scare Zhao Lei, and so she couldn't get any answers out of him.

”Nothing, sir …” Since you're back, I'll take my leave first. ” Zhao Lei didn't dare to look him in the eye the whole time, and was about to walk out after saying that.

This made Old Hu extremely curious, and he grabbed her wrist.

”Xiao Lei, I know you're definitely not stealing something, is there anything you're hiding from me?” Old Hu did not move. He waited for Zhao Lei to say it himself.

Because there was nothing at the front desk, just some cash and receipts.

If one were to say that Zhao Lei came to steal money, she would say that there was no need at all, because Old Hu would always give her pocket money, other than her salary.

Zhao Lei lowered her head and did not say anything. There was nothing she could do, she could only open her palm forcefully and realised that there was a name card inside.

He took it over and looked at it. On it was written: ”Director Zhang, Vice President of the Mercy and Gynecology Hospital...”

”Xiao Lei, isn't this just a name card? Why are you avoiding me? ” Old Hu did not understand, and he had never seen this name card before.

”It's nothing. I just saw him fall into a crack. It's useless. I just took it out and threw it away.” Zhao Lei explained loudly.

Some people lie, and their voices will grow smaller. Others, in order to convince others that what they say is true, increase their volume.

And Zhao Lei should belong to the latter.

Old Hu didn't plan to continue asking because he clearly felt that Zhao Lei wouldn't tell him the truth.

”How about this, don't throw it away for now, I still have some use, just put it in my drawer.” Old Hu put the name card into his pocket. Zhao Lei wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she didn't return the name card.

”Then you can go back first, I'll be fine here.” Old Hu sent Zhao Lei away then kept the photo at the back of the drawer. His intuition told him that this person must definitely have something to do with Zhao Lei, and since she could not ask, she could only find a time to follow him, they would definitely meet again.

In a flash, it was Friday and Zhao Lei came to work as usual. She didn't do anything abnormal as if Old Hu was overthinking things previously.
