Chapter 887: Chapter 889: Inquiry

"Just take it, a few days ago I specially went to the bank to change the password. With you holding my card, I’ll feel a bit more at ease; otherwise, I always worry you’ll abandon me or something." Xiao Yifei placed the card back in Tang Rong’s hand.

Since Xiao Yifei insisted, Tang Rong didn’t say anything more and accepted it, but she still said, "Don’t think that you can buy me off with this, you still need to accompany me when you should. You don’t want to live in the hospital forever, do you?"

Xiao Yifei originally wanted to call Tang Rong, but considering how late it was, she must be asleep. So, he sent a WeChat message: "Dear, I was busy again today, so I didn’t come home. I’ll definitely come back in the next couple of days."

These days, Xiao Yifei hadn’t had a good night’s sleep. After all, being in a hospital isn’t as comfortable as his own cozy place. Plus, sleeping alone in a large office felt a bit empty. Even though there were other patients and doctors on duty in the hospital, Xiao Yifei still felt a bit scared.

Though he’s a doctor and an atheist, Xiao Yifei maintained a cautious attitude toward the supernatural. Confucius once said to respect the ghosts and gods but keep a distance from them. So, in his heart, Xiao Yifei believed they existed, and being alone in the hospital still frightened him a bit.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, scaring him into a cold sweat. He hid under the covers and weakly asked, "Who is it?"

"Xiao Ge, it’s me, Zheng Qiang." The person outside answered.

Only then did Xiao Yifei relax, got out of bed, opened the door, and asked, "What’s up? You’re trying to scare me to death at this hour!"

"Xiao Ge, and you’re still scared as a doctor!" Zheng Qiang teased.

"What do you want?" Xiao Yifei asked again, though he welcomed Zheng Qiang’s visit, as he wouldn’t have to be scared anymore.

"Hehe, I’m on duty tonight. It’s a bit boring being alone in the office, so I came to check if you’re asleep. If you’re scared, I can stay." Zheng Qiang scratched his head, embarrassed.

Xiao Yifei saw through it; Zheng Qiang must also be scared and came to him for company.

"Then just stay here. If you’re tired, you can lay on the sofa for a while. I’ve been busy all day, so I’ll sleep first. By the way, where’s the doctor on duty with you?" Xiao Yifei said.

"Xiao Ge, you’re so kind. You sleep, don’t worry about me. He had some family issues and took leave to go home." Zheng Qiang was very satisfied with Xiao Yifei’s arrangement. That’s exactly why he came – to have company, so he wouldn’t be scared.

Being reassured, Xiao Yifei quickly fell asleep. Zheng Qiang listened to his snores and couldn’t help but marvel at the good quality of Xiao Doctor’s sleep.

When dawn was about to break, Xiao Yifei woke up and found Zheng Qiang had already left. There were no signs of anyone having been on the sofa. Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but wonder if Zheng Qiang’s visit last night was just a dream.

So he found Zheng Qiang’s office, saw Zheng Qiang preparing to leave, and asked, "Did you come to my office yesterday?"

Hearing this question, Zheng Qiang was initially puzzled but quickly understood, thinking whether Xiao Yifei had forgotten in his sleep. Zheng Qiang decided to tease him, saying, "No, I was in the office with Xiao Zhao last night. Why would I go to your office? I didn’t even know you were working overtime." noveldrama

Xiao Yifei saw him speaking with a serious face, mumbled to himself, maybe last night was indeed a dream, "Did you really not come to my place at around eleven? I remember your visit!" He asked again to confirm.

"Of course not, why would I go there so late. I didn’t even get close to your office door last night." Zheng Qiang denied again.

"That’s weird, I clearly remember it. Maybe I’m mistaken." Xiao Yifei muttered softly.

"Xiao Ge, just kidding. I did go to your place last night to rest for a bit, but I left in the middle of the night. Oh, I scared you. Considering the number of corpses you’ve seen, what else is there to be afraid of?" Zheng Qiang couldn’t help but laugh, occasionally teasing Xiao Yifei was quite amusing.

"Zheng Qiang, I thought you were an honest person, but you’ve learned to deceive. You almost scared me to death." Xiao Yifei felt he was too gullible, easily falling into Zheng Qiang’s trap.

They say a new day should be full of hope, but for Xiao Yifei, he was extremely reluctant for the new day to come. This virus hasn’t been conquered yet, and as days pass, patients and their families are anxious, and Xiao Yi is even more anxious, as this disease outbreak was closely related to him.

Moreover, no one knows what will happen on a new day. There might be new patients, or previous patients’ conditions might worsen leading to death. All these, Xiao Yifei could not predict. If such things happened again, the deceased’s family causing a scene would be uncontrollable.

In the morning, two detectives from the Police Department arrived at the hospital. One of them was somewhat familiar to Xiao Yifei. Last time during Zheng Peng’s incident, that detective was also present and had an enjoyable chat with Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei was wondering why they were visiting the hospital now.

The two detectives went into the director’s office.

"Director, we’re here on duty. The Police Department received a report that a doctor from your hospital deliberately leaked the virus, causing this outbreak. We want to meet the doctor and learn more about the situation."

Since they spoke plainly, the director had to fully cooperate with their actions. They came to Xiao Yifei’s office, and upon seeing him, said: "Dr. Xiao, we’re here to learn some details. Don’t overthink; we’re just doing a simple inquiry."

They asked some irrelevant questions, leaving Xiao Yifei unable to figure out their purpose. Then, the detective whom Xiao Yifei had met before asked, "You deliberately didn’t treat Zheng Peng, right?" His eyes were fixed on Xiao Yifei, with a stern look that seemed to say, don’t lie; I can tell if you’re speaking the truth or not.

Xiao Yifei swallowed and said, "Yes, but I didn’t do it on purpose. I thought Zheng Peng was just..." Xiao Yifei also looked into her eyes. From the beginning, he hadn’t intended to deny it.

But before Xiao Yifei could finish, the other detective interrupted, "Alright, we got the information we need. No need to say more."

The detective who had interacted with Xiao Yifei had a pretty good impression of him. Although their previous encounter was brief with little exchange, she felt Xiao Yifei wasn’t someone who would neglect other people’s lives. On the contrary, Zheng Peng had a history.

However, the most taboo thing in police work is getting emotional; detectives must always base their investigations on evidence. It’s said that once all wrong answers are ruled out, whatever remains, however implausible, must be the truth. The same applies to detectives; as long as there’s evidence, even illogical things become logical.

So she softened her attitude slightly and said, "Tell us all the details, the more detailed, the better." The detective beside her wanted to say something, but a glance from her silenced him.
