Chapter 392: Hospital-wide Mobilization

“Director, you’re back.”

“Did the meeting end this quickly today?”

Head Nurse Ding Xia, who was organizing medication, couldn’t help but look surprised to see Liu Lei return less than twenty minutes after she’d just left.

“There was an incident over in the ER.”

“Dean Jiang took a call and immediately transferred all the chief physicians and associate chief physicians from every department related to general surgery over there. The meeting, naturally, was cut short.”

Seeing that there weren’t many patients in their department, Liu Lei stopped to chat with Ding Xia for a moment. Her gaze swept over to Xu Mo, who was standing beside Ding Xia. Liu Lei had always taken special care of the only intern nurse in their department.

After all, Jiang Man asked about her every now and then. It was clear she was highly valued by the dean, so how could Liu Lei dare to neglect her?

“Huh?”

“Such a big commotion?”

“What happened in the ER?”

Gossip is a woman’s nature. Hearing Liu Lei’s reply, Ding Xia’s face immediately showed a flash of interest. Xu Mo, who was organizing medical instruments beside her, also cast a curious glance over at the right moment.

“I’m not sure.”

“Dean Jiang just mentioned a name, and then her expression completely changed.”

“It sounds like some big shot—someone rich or powerful. And their injuries must be very serious, otherwise she wouldn’t have called over all the department heads related to general surgery.”

Liu Lei shook her head, indicating that she didn’t know the full situation either.

“I guess we’ll hear some news from over there in a little while.”

Ding Xia didn’t seem too bothered and replied with a smile.

“I was planning on letting you all leave early since this afternoon was supposed to be quiet. But now that this has happened, everyone better just stay put.”

“Even though the chances of our ophthalmology department being needed are extremely low, with things like this, it’s better to be safe than sorry. If Dean Jiang suddenly calls for us and our department can’t scramble a team together, we’ll be in big trouble.”

After speaking, Liu Lei waved to Ding Xia and Xu Mo. “You two get back to work. I’m heading back to my office. Later, tell everyone else to be on their best behavior today. Don’t go looking for trouble.”

“Okay, Director Liu.”

Ding Xia and Xu Mo replied in unison.

Liu Lei walked around them and headed toward her office.

‘Strange…’

‘Where on earth have I heard the name Gu Heng before?’

‘Why can’t I remember?’

Liu Lei muttered to herself, stretching her sore neck.

CLANG…

The moment the words left her mouth, she heard the sharp sound of a metal medical tray falling and hitting the floor behind her.

“Director Liu, you…”

Xu Mo’s voice trembled slightly. “Who did you just say?”

“Gu Heng.”

“That’s the name Dean Jiang heard right before her expression changed so drastically.”

Seeing Xu Mo’s eyes instantly turn red, Liu Lei was a bit stunned. “Momo, you know him?”

Xu Mo didn’t answer Liu Lei. She turned and ran toward the emergency center.

“What the—?”

“What’s wrong with Momo?”

Seeing this, Liu Lei turned to Ding Xia in astonishment.

Ding Xia gazed in the direction Xu Mo had run, her expression tinged with worry. She lowered her voice and replied to Liu Lei, “Director Liu, the Gu Heng you just mentioned, combined with your description of Dean Jiang’s reaction… he’s most likely Xu Mo’s boyfriend.”

“Xu Mo’s boyfriend…”

Liu Lei murmured, and in that instant, everything seemed to click into place.

“Quick!”

“Ding Xia, go after Xu Mo!”

Once she snapped out of it, Liu Lei quickly ordered Ding Xia, “Look after her, and call me immediately if anything happens!”

But after saying that, she felt a nagging sense that something wasn’t right.

“Forget it!”

“I’ll go with you!”

Liu Lei grabbed Ding Xia, and they also hurried toward the emergency center.

A tense and heavy atmosphere quietly descended upon Jilin University Ninth Hospital, a provincial-level Class A hospital. But what Jiang Man and the others didn’t know was that this—

was only the beginning!
