Chapter 296 — An Evening Engagement

Hearing the owner's words, Qiu Lingshan could not be bothered to explain further; she simply told him to come straight to the city police station and accompany Wei Zhao to the vehicle registration office to complete the transfer. So long as the car was not stolen, Qiu Lingshan could not care less where Wei Zhao had gotten it.

"All right, your business is settled. How about you fill in the statement?" Qiu Lingshan took out her statement notebook and prepared to take down Wei Zhao's account.

"Skip the statement. Just make one up yourself. The credit is all yours anyway; I don't want a bit of it," Wei Zhao said.

"No." Qiu Lingshan refused flatly. This time Wei Zhao had finished off Huang Guanya in full view of everyone. How could the credit possibly go to her? What would people say?

"Let me make a phone call first." Wei Zhao could not be bothered with her. He dialed Yang Huaijun's number directly, said a few words, then handed the phone to Qiu Lingshan. "Listen."

Qiu Lingshan took the phone and heard Yang Huaijun's voice. Though she was somewhat reluctant about his order, she still meekly agreed. "Understood, Chief Yang!"

With a furrowed brow, Qiu Lingshan returned the phone to Wei Zhao. What on earth was this fellow's relationship with Yang Huaijun? The ever-impartial Yang Huaijun, once tangled up with Wei Zhao, had seen his image in Qiu Lingshan's mind come crashing down.

"All right, you can go." Qiu Lingshan spoke bluntly. Since Yang Huaijun had said the credit this time would count as hers, then it would count as hers. The people on the ** Squad were all Yang Huaijun's old subordinates; once Yang Huaijun gave the word, no one would object.

"Hah, next time you pull that by-the-book attitude again, don't come looking for me." Wei Zhao was a little angry too. He had moonlighted as a secret agent without pay, and this was the attitude he got?

Qiu Lingshan shot Wei Zhao a glare and said nothing. In her heart she thought: What are you so cocky about? Think you're invincible? Just wait until next time you run into something you can't handle; then watch me mock and needle you. For now, I'll put up with it.

Wei Zhao had not been insisting that Qiu Lingshan declare anything. To him, whether she declared it or not made no difference; it hardly mattered.

Outside the police station, Wei Zhao spotted a fat, big-eared creature glancing left and right at the entrance.

"President Wang?" Wei Zhao walked over and asked.

"Yes, that's me." Wang Mingri came up to meet him, his face wreathed in smiles. "You're Captain Song's friend, right? Shall we go complete the transfer now?"

"Hah, let's go. Sorry to trouble you, President Wang." Wei Zhao nodded.

Although Wang Mingri saw that Wei Zhao was not the man who had bought the car that day, Captain Song of the ** Squad had called him, so there could be no problem with this person. Captain Song would never cheat him over a car worth ten thousand yuan, so Wang Mingri, without even asking in detail, went to the vehicle registration office and completed the transfer for Wei Zhao.

As he was leaving, he even gave Wei Zhao a business card, telling him to call directly the next time he wanted to buy a car. New or used, he had connections and could help.

Wei Zhao thanked him and pocketed the card, then prepared to drive to school.

In any case, this junk car was now Wei Zhao's private property. He could drive it to and from school every day without having to ask Gu Mengyao's permission.

Before he reached school, Wei Zhao's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Guan Xuewen's number.

"Grandpa Guan?" Wei Zhao answered quickly.

"Xiao Yi? What are you busy with?" Guan Xuewen's voice came over the line.

"Nothing much. I was just about to drive to school. Grandpa Guan, is something the matter?" Wei Zhao asked.

"Are you free tonight? My granddaughter is on leave tomorrow and will be home tonight. I'll have her cook a few dishes, and the two of us can share a drink. How about it?" Guan Xuewen had not discussed medical matters with Wei Zhao for a long time and could barely restrain himself.

If he did not call Wei Zhao, Wei Zhao would not come to him on his own. With no other choice, Guan Xuewen had to summon his nerve and dial Wei Zhao's number.

"Tonight? That works too." Wei Zhao had also been wanting to discuss his idea of founding a pharmaceutical company with Guan Xuewen, but simply had not found the time. Now that Guan Xuewen had called him, Wei Zhao naturally would not refuse.

"Then it is settled! I will be waiting for you at home on the dot!" Guan Xuewen was delighted to hear Wei Zhao agree to visit.

"No problem. I will be there on time to disturb you," Wei Zhao said with a smile.

After hanging up on Wei Zhao, Guan Xuewen immediately called his granddaughter Guan Xin.

Guan Xin had just finished giving her statement and had been given several days off directly by the director, who told her to go home and rest properly.

Guan Xin's words—"Don't worry about me, shoot, quickly! The patient in the ward was stabbed by him; if he is not treated soon, his life will be in danger"—had already spread through the hospital, and even the news media had gotten wind of it and come to interview her.

Director Qin was overjoyed, his face wreathed in smiles before the reporters who came to interview him! Nowadays, many reporters liked to run negative stories about hospitals, and Director Qin was furious about it, but this time, with what had happened to Guan Xin, Director Qin could hold his head high!

Who would dare speak ill of our hospital now? Our nurse is the finest; when faced with a threat to her life, the first thing she thought of was the safety of her patient, not herself.

Of course, beyond that, no one knew the details of how Huang Guanya had been***, because at the time only the police had been in front; everyone else could only stand far off at the perimeter. They had heard Guan Xin's shout, but did not know that Huang Guanya had been finished off by Wei Zhao.

Because Guan Xuewen and Guan Xin's father were shareholders in the hospital, Director Qin wanted to do Guan Xin a favor, but could not find a suitable reason. Promoting someone always required convincing others, did it not?

This time, however, he intended to promote Guan Xin by exception, and he supposed no one would voice any objection. Such an outstanding nurse—if not her, then who should be promoted?

While giving Guan Xin her leave, Director Qin had already decided to convene a meeting of the hospital leadership that afternoon to discuss the matter of Guan Xin's personnel adjustment. Was not the old head nurse of the inpatient department about to retire? First promote Guan Xin to deputy head nurse, and then wait for***.

As for whether Guan Xin could achieve even more in the future, that would depend on her.

Guan Xin had just left the hospital and was about to head home when her phone rang. She took it out and saw it was the home number. Guan Xin was startled—could her grandfather have learned that she had been injured?

Guan Xin frowned and silently cursed some loose-lipped, bootlicking leader at the hospital! She had been afraid her grandfather would worry, so she had instructed Director Qin not to tell her father and grandfather about the matter—so how had her grandfather's call come so quickly?

"Grandfather..." Guan Xin answered the phone and greeted him somewhat uncertainly.

"Xin Xin, are you off tomorrow?" Guan Xuewen asked with a smile.

"Yes... why?" Guan Xin was slightly taken aback. From her grandfather's tone, he seemed not to know about what had happened at the hospital earlier, and Guan Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
