Chapter 804: Waiting for Him to Turn Dark

Xu Shu glanced at the time.

It was already this late, and there probably wouldn’t be any big events.

It was his turn to be on duty tonight, so he asked another doctor to keep an eye out and had not left the ward since entering with Bo Yanching.

“What exactly happened?”

Xu Shu looked at Yaen Chi, “How did Jiaojiao end up stabbing him?”

Yaen Chi had been silent since waiting outside the surgery room.

It was rare for him to be so tight-lipped and to let his emotions show on his face.

Anyone could see the words written all over his face:

This is serious.

He held a document folder in his hand, occasionally weighing it in his palm.

The white thread around the button had never been untied.

Apart from a watermark, there wasn’t a single handwritten word on the cover.

Xu Shu cast a downward glance and then returned his gaze to Yaen Chi’s face, asking, “I’ve been meaning to ask, what’s inside?”

Yaen Chi furrowed his brow slightly, tapping the corner of the document folder against his forehead.

“I don’t know.”

It was something Yeh Hannian tossed out the window while leaving.

Instinct suggested it was for Bo Yanching, and it probably wasn’t anything good.

Yaen Chi had considered destroying it but dismissed the thought in a moment of hesitation.

“It’s Brother Yan’s, I’ll give it to him when he wakes up.

I haven’t looked.”

Hearing him say that, Xu Shu didn’t press further.

He checked Bo Yanching’s forehead, finding nothing particularly concerning for the time being.

As he got up, he undid the button on his lab coat, walked to the sofa, and lightly kicked Mo Tingshen’s shoe tip, “Slide over a bit, I need a nap.”

Mo Tingshen curled his lips, “You’re really not holding back.”

“I’m busy around the clock, and still have to keep an eye on you guys making trouble at any moment.

I’m exhausted and need to catch some sleep here.”

Xu Shu adjusted the position of the cushion and said before lying down, “I’m just taking a short break, call me if anything happens.”

Mo Tingshen, avoiding Xu Shu stretching his legs over, voluntarily sat on the adjacent single-seater sofa.

There was a companion bed beside them, but Xu Shu never used it during hospital breaks, fearing he might get too comfortable or sleep too deeply to wake up in case of an emergency.

Yaen Chi didn’t have such concerns.

He occupied a bed himself, unfolded a blanket over his stomach, and casually placed the document folder on the nightstand.

He turned his head and noticed Mo Tingshen also staring at that document.

Yaen Chi asked, “Mo the Fox, what do you think we should do now?”

He usually disliked listening to Mo Tingshen talk; that man never had anything nice to say and often made him toss and turn at night.

But there was no denying that Mo Tingshen was good at handling matters.

Now with Bo Yanching unconscious and Nan Jiaojiao’s identity a mystery, Yaen Chi found himself instinctively regarding Mo Tingshen as the anchor.

However, Mo Tingshen just gave him two words: “Wait.”

“Wait for what?” Yaen Chi bent his arm, resting it behind his head, and angled himself towards Mo Tingshen.

Mo Tingshen glanced at Bo Yanching and let out a snort, “Wait for him to turn dark.”

Yaen Chi was momentarily speechless, “There’s a saying, you know, I don’t know if you’ve heard it, but a dog’s mouth never gives ivory.”

Mo Tingshen didn’t even pause to think before firing back, “Haven’t you lived like that since you were a kid?”

“Nonsense!

I’m not arguing with you.

People like you should be struck by lightning, and even after turning to ashes, your mouth would still be hard.”

Yaen Chi turned over, presenting his back to Mo Tingshen, unwilling to say another word.

In the latter half of the night, after Mo Tingshen went out to smoke two cigarettes, he returned to find everyone on the beds and sofas asleep, and planned to find a spot to nap himself.

But inexplicably, he picked up that document folder.
