Chapter 41: Wang Chuan, My Father Is Looking for You

"Wang Chuan, thank you for your brave intervention this time; those who caused this disturbance must definitely go to jail..."

Pei Hangping stopped mid-sentence upon seeing the bitter smile on 'Wang Chuan's' face.

When Pei Nanli's father said, "So it's Wang Chuan," Yang Fang suddenly realized he was nothing but a clown, his spirit struck by a critical blow.

But he was not a student; regaining his composure, Yang Fang straightened his back and said, "Director Pei, I am Yang Fang, an Attending Physician in the General Surgery Department of Mingzhou First Hospital, and the Group Leader managing this batch of Interns under Wang Chuan."

"Are you Yang Guohua's nephew?"

Pei Nanli's father now recalled that this Yang Fang had introduced himself at last week's banquet.

Having just received a frantic phone call that his precious daughter was nearly struck with an iron rod while interning at the Hospital, he had rushed over; upon entering and seeing Yang Fang standing close beside his daughter, he had mistaken him for Wang Chuan.

"Dad, Wang Chuan hasn't been released yet," Pei Nanli spoke up.

"What's going on? The person who saved her has been arrested?"

At that moment, the Secretary closed his Mobile Phone, approached Pei Hangping, and whispered, "Yang Guohua has arrived, and Bureau Chief Chen Donghai from the Branch Bureau will be here shortly."

At the main entrance, a middle-aged man entered and said respectfully, "Director Pei, I'm late; I was just performing a surgery."

Yang Fang, standing nearby, knew that his uncle Yang Guohua had actually been getting a foot massage moments ago.

Just then, a man wearing a police uniform with two bars and two stars approached with a broad smile, saying, "Director Pei, let's go to my Office for some tea."

Several people, including Pei Nanli, followed them into the Bureau Chief's Office.

After sitting down, Pei Hangping took a sip of tea, his expression serious as he looked at Yang Guohua and criticized, "Dean Yang, the Hospital's security system must be strengthened; do not let doctor-patient conflicts escalate—they must be extinguished in their budding stage."

Yang Fang wore a bitter expression; he had just heard from his nephew Yang Fang that an Intern had gotten into a fight over jealousy regarding the Director's daughter, deemed it a minor issue, and planned to deal with it only after finishing his massage.

As a result, halfway there he received a call from Pei Hangping stating that over a dozen people were causing a disturbance at the Hospital, so he hastily pulled up his trousers and rushed over to the Heshu Branch Bureau.

Pei Hangping then addressed Bureau Chief Chen Donghai of the Heshu Branch Bureau, "How will you handle Wang Chuan, the Hospital Intern who saved my daughter? Does this not count as acting bravely for a just cause?"

Chen Donghai felt somewhat troubled after hearing this; the key witness, Tao Tao, had been struck on the shoulder by an iron rod, claimed a bone fracture, and fainted in the ward, so no official statement had been taken from him.

Currently, the only statement on record was from Monkey, who claimed he had verbally harassed Pei Nanli, and that after Wang Chuan left the Respiratory Medicine Department with Pei Nanli, he returned to cut him with a blade in retaliation.

Wang Chuan's account was that he had acted in self-defense, using a blade to injure the attacker in an emergency to save Director Tao Tao.

The tattooed man's testimony matched Monkey's; Pei Nanli could not provide testimony since she was not in the Respiratory Medicine Department at the time.

Suddenly, Pei Hangping stood up to take a phone call, then returned and said, "Bureau Chief Chen, you'll be receiving a call shortly from Director He of the Municipal Bureau."

"Director He has already received instructions from higher leadership: the crackdown from 2001 to 2003 has just ended, yet over a dozen hooligans dared to cause a disturbance at a Hospital; such matters must be curbed."

Upon hearing this, Chen Donghai hesitated no longer, since the decision had already been made from above.

Although the disturbance at the Hospital and Wang Chuan cutting Monkey were two separate matters.

It was not entirely impossible that Wang Chuan, as a young man, might have broken the law to stand up for his girlfriend.

But since Tao Tao would inevitably be able to testify sooner or later, releasing Wang Chuan now posed no significant problem.

Chen Donghai picked up the Landline Phone, made the connection, and immediately issued his orders.

As Wang Chuan walked into the service hall, he heard Li Wei's excited and joyful voice: "Chuanzi, you're free!"

Luo De and Wang Jia came over to greet him; Yang Fang naturally approached as well, saying, "Wang Chuan, are you okay? Regardless, it's good that you're out."

Yang Fang did not yet know that over a dozen people had caused a disturbance at the Hospital, as he had rushed out immediately upon receiving Cheng Keyuan's call.

Therefore, he believed that Pei Hangping had temporarily secured Wang Chuan's release only out of gratitude for saving his daughter.

You kid won't escape responsibility for stabbing someone over Pei Nanli.

Wang Chuan knew Yang Fang meant no good and was likely here to mock him; his gaze fell upon Cheng Keyuan, who was still sitting there swinging his legs.

So he stepped forward with a smile and said, "Group Leader Cheng, why do you look so unhappy? Is it because you're upset that you didn't get to see me thrown in jail?"

Before Cheng Keyuan could respond, he turned to Yang Fang and added, "In a few days, Group Leader Yang, will you be awarding me an Outstanding Intern Plaque or a title for Acting Bravely for a Just Cause?"

"Thanks to Director Tao Tao's testimony; he was nearly smashed in the head by those hooligans, and I only acted to save him."

Yang Fang froze upon hearing this, glanced at Cheng Keyuan, and thought, 'You fool! If I ever listen to you again, I'm a pig!'

Without waiting for his uncle to emerge, he turned and stormed off in anger; Cheng Keyuan, who had originally intended to watch the show, also slunk away shamefully.

At this moment, Luo De said, "Wang Chuan, Li Wei said Director Tao Tao is still unconscious in the Hospital; how could he have testified for you?"

Li Wei looked surprised: "That's right, he is still unconscious."

"Stop guessing; it must be thanks to Pei Nanli's father; they are still in the Bureau Chief's Office," Wang Jia analyzed coldly.

'Pei Nanli's father has come?' Wang Chuan's heart drummed with anxiety.

Suddenly, the roar of an engine erupted, and shortly after, an urgent, mature female voice rang out.

Suddenly, the roar of an engine erupted, and moments later, an urgent voice belonging to an older sister figure rang out.

A young woman stood at the entrance, featuring a delicate nose, rosy lips, a chin carved like jade, and eyes shining with a cold light; strangely, she was barefoot.

A young woman stood at the doorway, featuring a delicate, straight nose, rosy lips, and a chin carved like jade; her eyes gleamed with cold light, yet strangely, she was barefoot.

"Have you forgotten? This is the girl who drove the Porsche to pick up Wang Chuan yesterday morning," Wang Jia, who had sharper eyes, noted; although Lin Weiwei's styling had changed greatly from a mature woman to an innocent School Beauty, she secretly compared her to Pei Nanli in her mind, finding each had their own merits.

"Chuanzi, don't blame me; I figured Lin Weiwei, being in business, might know someone at the Branch Bureau, so I called her," Li Wei said, awkwardly scratching the back of his head.

Lin Weiwei had been asleep just past Midnight when Li Wei's Mobile Phone woke her; she had rushed out of her room in cooling slippers, only discovering upon starting the car in the underground Garage that she was wearing them, so she simply drove barefoot.

Getting out of the car just now had been so urgent that she hadn't even put her cooling slippers back on.

Wang Chuan approached Lin Weiwei, and together they walked outside the service hall; Lin Weiwei reached out and patted Wang Chuan all over, from top to bottom.

"There's blood but no wounds; do you have internal bleeding?"

"I'm fine! Someone caused a disturbance at the Hospital; I got into a fight with the troublemaker, and he's the one who bled."

"How can it be like this? Even being a Doctor carries life-threatening risks. Wang Chuan, why don't you quit being a Doctor and go into business with me?"

Lin Weiwei raised her eyes, looking at Wang Chuan with sincere gaze.

'Don't be like this, Lin Weiwei; I just lied,' Wang Chuan groaned inwardly.

Lin Weiwei raised her eyes, looking at Wang Chuan with a sincere gaze.

'Don't be like this, Lin Weiwei; I just lied,' Wang Chuan groaned inwardly.

"Sit down," Wang Chuan commanded.

"What are you doing?" Lin Weiwei asked, her face a mask of confusion.

He turned and left; a moment later, Wang Chuan returned, lifted Lin Weiwei's foot, and took out the cotton swabs the Police Officer had returned.

Dampened with water, he wiped the soles of Lin Weiwei's feet clean, then disinfecting them twice with iodophor-soaked swabs.

A sensation of coldness and soreness rushed into Lin Weiwei's head.

Throughout the entire process, she said nothing, merely gazing at Wang Chuan, her beautiful eyes shining, the corners of her mouth curving upward.

Wang Chuan hoisted Lin Weiwei onto his back, placed her in the driver's seat of the Porsche, then retrieved shoes from the front trunk and helped her put them on.

Wang Chuan smiled and said, "The Porsche 911 offers average visibility. Since you often drive on highways, you could switch to an SUV; the visibility is better, and it's more comfortable to drive. The space isn't bad either; you can do many things in it."

"Ah~~ next time you have to give me a discount!" Lin Weiwei's voice turned playful, coated with sweetness.

"Thank you for coming to see me. Next time, don't drive barefoot," Wang Chuan said, speaking from the heart.

After seeing Lin Weiwei off, Wang Chuan noticed Li Wei and the other two had also come out; waving his hand, he said, "Let's head back to the dormitory."

Suddenly, Pei Nanli, who had just walked out of the service hall entrance, said, "Wang Chuan, my father wants to see you!"
