~4 min read 763 words

"Oh, my Dr. Xu, it's not that I care, sigh..."

Lu Yuan sighed, then said, "Let me put it this way: I and Jiang Lai's brother used to be good buddies, good brothers. Jiang Lai can be said to have been raised under my watch; since childhood, I've treated her like my own younger sister."

"Besides, after I returned to the country, I started working at Jiang Lai's restaurant. You say, encountering such an unreliable boss, what if one day she just shuts the restaurant down? Where would I go to find another job? So, that's why I've sought you out time and again..."

"Understood."

Xu Li nodded: "You brought me here hoping I would treat Jiang Lai, keep her condition stable so she doesn't have an episode, and ensure it doesn't affect the restaurant or your work, correct?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Lu Yuan nodded repeatedly: "Dr. Xu, let me tell you, whenever Jiang Lai has an episode, she's like a mad dog, biting whoever she catches, really..."

"Who are you calling a mad dog?"

A voice suddenly sounded behind Lu Yuan,

then, Jiang Lai, with a smile on her face, sat directly opposite Xu Li,

seeing this, Lu Yuan was directly startled, quickly stood up and said, "Well, uh, Dr. Xu, I'm entrusting her to you; I still have things to do in the back kitchen, I'll get busy first."

Xu Li nodded, then turned to Jiang Lai with a slight smile: "Hello, Jiang Zong, I am Xu Li."

"I know."

Jiang Lai smiled, nodded, and shook hands, then said directly: "Lu Yuan has told me several times that he must bring you in to treat my madness, but I think I'm perfectly normal."

"I also think you are perfectly normal."

Xu Li smiled gently: "But since I've taken Lu Yuan's money, even if I'm just putting on a show, I have to chat with you; do you have time?"

Hearing this, Jiang Lai turned her head to look at the restaurant: "I have time; there aren't many guests right now. Dr. Xu, would you like something to drink? I'll have the waiter bring it over."

"Mineral water, please. Thank you."

After Xu Li finished speaking, she professionally took out a pen and notebook, then asked: "Jiang Zong, Lu Yuan just mentioned to me that something happened to you these past two days, and you damaged an instrument at a certain hospital; are these things true?"

Jiang Lai nodded: "Mm, yes, but it's all been resolved."

"Is that so?"

Xu Li looked at Jiang Lai with some surprise: "As far as I know, hospital instruments are generally precision instruments, usually starting at several million; Jiang Zong, did you handle it that quickly?"

"Yes."

Jiang Lai smiled self-mockingly: "Who else but I have such a good boss? A magnetic resonance imaging machine worth tens of millions was given away just like that; the hospital leaders were overjoyed."

"Mm?"

Xu Li wrote a few words in her notebook, then asked: "Then, Jiang Zong, is this boss you mentioned your brother?"

"No."

Jiang Lai shook her head: "It's my boss, Qin Feng, a super handsome guy!"

"Hehehe... 253..."

Hearing this, Xu Li chuckled, then wrote the two characters Qin Feng in her notebook,

then,

Xu Li asked again: "Then, Jiang Zong, may I ask boldly, why did you deliberately pour high-proof white liquor onto a guest's wound, and why did you go to the hospital in the middle of the night and beat them up?"

"..."

Jiang Lai thought for a moment, then said frankly: "They deserved it; even if it happened again, I would still do the same, because they were simply too disgusting..."

Xu Li nodded,

after writing preliminary conclusions such as "strong sense of morality, individual heroism, suspected of having suffered unfair treatment in childhood" in her notebook,

closed the notebook, and began listening carefully to Jiang Lai's account...

More than an hour later,

Jiang Lai felt a bit dry-mouthed; after finishing the lemon water in her cup,

she finally summarized: "Anyway, the result is this: the bad guys received their due punishment, and I, in turn, was saved by an angel."

"Is that so?"

Xu Li smiled and shook her head slightly: "From your description, I actually feel that your boss, Qin Feng, is actually a demon. Jiang Zong, I am personally more interested in your boss, Qin Feng; could you tell me a bit more about him?"

"Okay."

Jiang Lai nodded, the image of Qin Feng's handsome and devilish smile flashing in her mind, then smiled and began to recount...
