Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

They had managed to reduce the time taken to get to the hospital and arrived there in half the time.

Wen Ping almost had trouble standing when he finally got off the car.

After parking the car, Huo Changfeng's subordinate was very worried about Huo Yao. He could only apologize to Wen Ping before lifting the young man by his clothes and proceeding to enter the hospital quickly.

Wen Ping did not know what to say when the driver lifted him so high that his feet were in mid-air.

Li Chenhui had once remarked that Huo Yao's family members resembled mafia leaders. He now felt that Li Chenhui might be right about this.

Before long, Huo Changfeng's subordinate strode into the ER, setting Wen Ping down and letting go.

Wen Ping steadied himself awkwardly. He disregarded his uneasiness and asked the nurse at the reception. "A student was sent here for falling into the water. Where is she? Is she still getting treated?"

The nurse looked at him. "I don't have any students sent here for drowning in my records. Are you sure you're at the right hospital?"

"Impossible. She was sent here." When Wen Ping left the university, he had already checked about it repeatedly.

"I've been on duty all day. No student who suffered a case of drowning was sent here." The nurse flipped through the patient records and showed them to Wen Ping.

Wen Ping looked at the records. "Why isn't she listed here?"

Huo Changfeng's subordinate looked even more serious than before. He walked outside briskly and gave the chief steward a call.

Wen Ping kept arguing with the nurse, so he failed to see the group of people walking out from a corridor from the other end of the hall.

Huo Yao was talking to the cops. When she spotted Wen Ping, she said a few words in English to the cops and headed toward Wen Ping.

"Senior Brother," said Huo Yao.

Wen Ping's face was red from anxiety. The moment he heard Huo Yao's voice, he thought he was hallucinating.

After walking closer to Huo Yao, he finally snapped out of his daze. He looked up and down at Huo Yao. Other than her wet clothes, she looked fine.

Wen Ping could finally relax. "Junior Sister, I thought you… I'm so glad you're fine."

"My bad for making you worry," said Huo Yao apologetically.

She thought it would only take a few minutes to settle the problem, but it took longer than expected.

Wen Ping shook his head. He looked at Huo Yao's wet clothes and promptly took off his coat and put it on her. "How did you fall into the lake?"

After asking the question, he felt puzzled. The reception nurse confirmed no student saved from a drowning incident was sent to the hospital by ambulance. In that case, it made no sense for Huo Yao to be here.

Huo Yao lowered her eyes and checked her wristwatch. "This is a long story. Senior Brother, why don't you go back to school first? The cops have a few questions for me, so I have to go to the police station. I don't think I can make it to the conference in the afternoon. Can you tell Mr. Wu about it?"

The cops were still waiting for her nearby.

Wen Ping knew things were not as simple as they appeared after hearing this. Since she did not want to get him involved, he went quiet for a few seconds and said, "Fine. Junior Sister, if you can't handle it, just tell us about it. Even if this might cause trouble, we have to uphold justice for you."

Huo Yao felt moved. She nodded and said, "Thanks, Senior Brother."

Wen Ping raised his hand and patted her shoulder. "In that case, I'll make a move first."

"Okay."

When Wen Ping got to the ER lobby, he saw the driver of the car using the phone there.

He paused before walking over toward the man. He wanted to tell the driver Huo Yao was fine.

After taking a couple of steps, Wen Ping could faintly hear him saying gather the men and bring your weapons. Someone was going to die for this. Wen Ping promptly had trouble walking and was really puzzled.
