"Ah—"
Qiao Jingjing exclaimed as if she had seen a ghost:
"Mom... Mom! Aunt Jin Huan calling at this time must be to hold you accountable for taking the Ye family's salary yet posting on Moments to promote Zhetu Tian."
"What's the rush?"
Su Shan had already made her choice the first time Zhetu Tian posted on Moments to promote the Dragon Liver Phoenix Marrow Soup. Of course, she wasn't afraid of facing Ye Jin Huan. After all, she could find another job if she lost this one, but she would have nothing if she lost her life.
Without hesitation, she snatched the phone from Qiao Jingjing's hand and pressed the answer button without thinking. She got straight to the point:
"I'm very sorry, Director Ye, I'm planning to resign."
On the other end of the phone, Ye Jin Huan roared furiously:
"Su Shan, you've been by my side for over twenty years, and I've always treated you well. Even a guard dog should be well-trained by now. How can you openly jump ship to Zhetu Tian, which is under the Song family?"
"Heh."
After twenty years of hard work, she was compared to a guard dog. Su Shan couldn't help but give a bitter smile:
"Director Ye, even dogs get sick. My current physical condition is no longer suitable for the job of a guard dog, so I've chosen to resign. If you don't believe me, I'll send my recent check-up reports and medical certificates to your email."
She paused and couldn't help but add in a more self-deprecating tone:
"As for whether I'll choose Zhetu Tian as my new master after my lucky recovery, it seems to have nothing to do with you, my former master, does it?"
On the other end of the phone, Ye Jin Huan became even angrier:
"Hmph! Since you insist on choosing the Song family, then we'll see. I'd like to see if Song Yan is willing to pay the sky-high liquidated damages for your non-compete agreement for you, this guard dog!"
As soon as she finished speaking, another call came in on Ye Jin Huan's phone. She simply hung up on Su Shan and answered:
"Have you found out?"
Ye Jin Huan was on a business trip abroad at this time. The sleepless work had made her, who was usually deep in thought and kept her emotions hidden, appear unusually anxious. Coupled with Commander Dao's stern warning, she couldn't control her emotions, and her tone was filled with gunpowder.
The person calling her said tremblingly:
"Director Ye, Young Master Tian, Master Leng, and Vice Dean Jiang are still being interrogated at Juxian Mountain Prison. According to my multiple inquiries, Young Master Tian sent Master Leng to the emergency department of the Central Hospital this morning to teach a doctor named Chen Xiao a lesson. Master Leng insists that he absolutely did not interfere with the Dragon King's treatment at the Central Hospital, and Vice Dean Jiang can also testify. Therefore, I think Young Master Tian is being framed..."
Ye Jin Huan, fearing the call might be intercepted, quickly interrupted the other person:
"Nonsense, how could the Dragon King be framed? Have you thoroughly investigated that doctor named Chen Xiao? Is it possible that the Dragon King is actually his patient?"
"That's unlikely, right? According to my investigation, Chen Xiao is just an intern. But what's perplexing is that he was just fired by the Central Hospital the day before yesterday, and today he has become a specially appointed resident physician by the Central Hospital..."
"Send me all his information immediately!"
Ye Jin Huan, with her sharp intuition, confirmed her guess before the person on the phone could finish speaking. She hurriedly called Mu Ni Hong, Ye Qing Tian's mother:
"Sister-in-law, I've investigated and found out that the important figure Qing Tian offended is Chen Xiao, a resident physician in the emergency department of the Central Hospital. I suspect the Dragon King is very likely his patient. Qing Tian actually sent Leng Shan to the hospital to cause trouble for him, isn't that courting death? You go to the Central Hospital immediately and beg him. As long as he's willing to settle this privately, Qing Tian should be able to get out of prison, and our Ye and Mu families won't have to live in fear anymore."
Mu Ni Hong, as fat as a 300-pound pig and with a poor heart, collapsed when she learned that Ye Qing Tian had surrendered himself for seriously interfering with the Dragon King's treatment. She was currently being given an IV drip under the care of more than a dozen family doctors.
Upon receiving Ye Jin Huan's call, she was both shocked and delighted. After Ye Jin Huan sent her Chen Xiao's information, she impatiently dialed Chen Xiao's number without even looking at his photo, saying nervously:
"Excuse me, is this Doctor Chen Xiao from the Central Hospital? Hello, my name is Mu Ni Hong, and I am Ye Qing Tian's mother."
Chen Xiao had just returned to his office from Su Shan's temporary transitional ward. He was not surprised that Ye Qing Tian's family would call him and said coldly:
"What is it?"
Mu Ni Hong, imagining Chen Xiao treating the legendary Dragon King, became even more nervous:
"Dr. Chen... Chen, I... I want to beg you to let my son go."
