20 Hmm?!!!

"..."

Pipeline? Acceptance? Explosion incident? Ah this...

Looking at this gas company employee whose eyes were swollen like peaches and whose little face was full of guilt, Li Ang didn't know what to say for a moment, so he had to scratch the back of his head awkwardly.

If this really was a gas pipeline explosion, resulting in Anna's thigh injury and almost falling to her death, he would probably have the heart to dismantle the other party alive right now.

But the problem is, this time it really wasn't the other party's fault; the explosion incident was compiled by the brain of that evil god, and the hospital accident belonged to the attack launched by the director, not that the gas company's pipeline was unqualified.

As for the little girl in front of him, her work had no problems; it was purely bad luck that she encountered this, and she was implicated by the strange operation of that abnormal object of the Cleaning Bureau...

"This... I see your apology is quite sincere, how about... as long as you cover the medical expenses, this matter will be considered settled?"

Li Ang, whose conscience was a little uneasy, originally thought about just letting it go, but felt that Anna almost having an accident in the 'gas explosion' and him not pursuing it would be too fake, so he made a relatively compromise request.

Anyway, his relatives seeing a doctor could be reimbursed with the Cleaning Bureau's ID, Anna's lung disease didn't need to be paid privately, and she only injured her leg in the 'gas explosion' incident, which would cost at most one or two silver wheels, and wouldn't cause much economic pressure on the other party...

Not expecting Li Ang and the other person to be so easy to talk to, the doll-faced girl raised her head abruptly, her face full of disbelief:

"Just this... is that enough?"

Looking back at his sister, seeing her face slightly red and lost in thought, not raising any objections, Li Ang turned back and nodded apologetically to the girl who was crying pitifully in front of him.

"Hmm, that's enough."

"..."

Only need this little compensation? Are there really such people?

Hearing Li Ang's affirmative answer, the girl wearing the professional suit couldn't help but freeze for a moment, her eyes, swollen into a slit, filled with an expression of disbelief.

Among those affected by this incident, most were stunned by the volatilized anesthetic, and some haven't even woken up yet, but these people actually belong to those who are relatively easy to compensate; just pay for the lost work and medical expenses.

The most serious one left is the hospital director, but that person doesn't seem to be a good person and was reported for doing many bad things. If he didn't die, he might have to go to the gallows, so there's no need to compensate.

Then there are the few people who jumped out of the window on the fourth floor. The older nurse wasn't injured, just a little frightened, while the young nurse with serious joint trauma, together with her fiancé, jointly knocked a large sum of money from her company.

But her fiancé said he wanted to buy something and left in a hurry with the money. She felt that the man seemed to be taking the money and running away, so she specifically reminded her, but was pointed at by her nose and scolded for more than an hour... woo...

Thinking of this, the doll-faced girl couldn't help but sniff hard, looking at the kind Li Ang in front of her with tears in her eyes, feeling that there is really no comparison between people.

The last girl, although her injury wasn't as serious as that nurse's, was also slashed in the thigh by broken glass, and if she hadn't reacted fast enough, her end would probably have been the same as that director on the sixth floor.

Before coming over, she hesitated for a long time and was prepared to be scolded or even beaten, but this couple was so kind and only asked for medical expenses. Are they too good?

"That... I should still pay you some more compensation!"

Looking at Li Ang's somewhat worn-out coat, and then at this 'simple' ward where staying for one night wouldn't even cost two silver wheels, the doll-faced girl felt even more uneasy in her heart.

This couple in front of her,

are clearly the kind of people who don't have much money, but after encountering an opportunity to knock a sum, they only asked for basic medical expenses. She can't let such good people suffer!

After clenching her little fists hard, the doll-faced girl raised her head and persuaded Li Ang with a moved face:

"You two are so young, you shouldn't have saved too much money yet. This time your wife was injured, and you have to take leave to take care of her, which will definitely delay your work.

If I compensate you with some more money, you can use this money to hire a nurse for your wife, which will not only allow her to get better care but also avoid delaying..."

"Wait? Did you get it wrong?"

The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Li Ang, whose mind was full of the explosion incident, seriously chewed on the other party's words and said speechlessly:

"We aren't a couple, we are siblings!"

"Ah? Is that so? Sorry! Sorry!"

Hearing Li Ang's correction, the doll-faced girl's face turned red, and then she bowed and apologized repeatedly:

"The compensation list I received only had names. I saw your and her surnames were the same in the hospital's visit registration, and your hair colors were different, so I thought you were... ah! Sorry! Very sorry!!!"

"It's okay..."

Reaching out to touch his light golden hair, and then looking at Li Ang's deep black hair, Anna on the hospital bed seemed to be in a good mood, smiled shallowly at her, and said softly:

"My brother's and my hair colors are different, and we don't look very alike, so it is indeed easy to misunderstand if one is not careful. As for the compensation, I didn't suffer any injury, so let's do as my brother said...

Oh! By the way!"

Speaking of this, Anna seemed to have remembered something, propped herself up from the hospital bed with effort, and asked earnestly:

"What about Auntie Hannah? Although she wasn't injured, she was also frightened yesterday, and she hasn't come to the hospital until now today. Have you given her compensation?"

"Are you talking about that older nurse?"

The doll-faced girl recalled for a moment, and said with a face full of guilt:

"As for her, we have already given compensation! And I guarantee it is very generous!

After all, although she wasn't injured, she was truly frightened by yesterday's explosion, and even possibly... possibly mentally unstable..."

"What?"

Hearing that the older nurse who had taken good care of her had an accident, Anna became anxious, propped herself up on Li Ang's arm, and asked with a face full of worry:

"How could that be? When we separated last night, wasn't she still fine?"

"This... I'm not very clear either..."

Thinking of the situation of another poor victim, the doll-faced girl lowered her head guiltily, bit her lip, and said in a small voice with tears in her eyes:

"When we went, we heard from her husband that she was just a bit uneasy last night, but her condition was still quite stable. But when she woke up this morning, she suddenly started talking nonsense for no reason.

She first insisted that no explosion accident had occurred, then said the hospital floor would eat people, and many patients had been eaten, but later a woman wrapped in bandages came and let her down from the window... she must have been frightened by yesterday's incident..."

Hearing this, Li Ang, whose face was full of sympathy, couldn't help but freeze slightly.

Wait, no explosion occurred, the hospital floor would eat people, and a woman wrapped in bandages...
