Chen Xiao showed no fear, instinctively rolling up his sleeves and rushing into the cordon.
"Just repairing a malfunctioning, suspended elevator, you really think I can't do it?"
During his five years of university, he had worked part-time as an elevator maintenance technician, urgently repairing many stalled elevators, and was not intimidated by Lei Qingfeng's provocation.
However, Lei Qingfeng's intention was to let Aunt Zhang, trapped in the elevator, die, so how could he allow Chen Xiao an opportunity to repair it?
With a chuckle, Lei Qingfeng said to the repair workers,
"Master Huang, since Doctor Chen is so capable, you can step aside first. I want to see if he can fix this elevator!"
To the repair workers, Lei Qingfeng was like a benefactor. After a slight hesitation, they all lowered their heads and withdrew from the cordon.
Time was life. Every second delayed could lead to Aunt Zhang's death. Chen Xiao had no time to argue with Lei Qingfeng. He picked up a wrench and began to operate skillfully, his white coat quickly getting stained with engine oil.
The repair workers were stunned by his proficient movements and speed. The leader, Master Huang, couldn't help but exclaim,
"My God! A doctor's familiarity with the various parts of an elevator is even higher than mine!"
Lei Qingfeng never dreamed that Chen Xiao could also repair elevators. He immediately became anxious and pretended to be concerned, saying,
"Chen Xiao, be very careful. If the suspended elevator suddenly plummets out of control and causes a death, you won't have enough heads to compensate, even if you had nine!"
Chen Xiao ignored him, his hands moving even faster, as only a moment had passed, and five minutes were already gone.
Ignored, Lei Qingfeng became even more furious. He roared at the security guards behind him in a rage,
"What are you all standing around for? Stop that crazy Chen immediately! If someone dies, you'll all be in trouble!"
Instantly, the security guards surged towards Chen Xiao like a tide.
"Ding dong—"
At this moment, the elevator suddenly emitted a notification sound, indicating it had returned to normal.
Chen Xiao raised the heavy, oil-stained wrench and pointed it angrily at Lei Qingfeng outside the cordon, his voice cold and low,
"Lei Qingfeng, you'd better pray the patient is still alive, or you'll be spending your life in prison!"
Lei Qingfeng sneered unscrupulously,
"Heh, even if the patient dies, it should be the attending physician's responsibility. What does it have to do with me? As the deputy director of the security department, isn't it my duty to consider the safety of the repair site?"
As soon as Lei Qingfeng finished speaking, the elevator doors suddenly opened.
The first thing that caught everyone's eye was a cold, mobile hospital bed. A white sheet was spread out, and a human silhouette, completely covered from head to toe, was faintly visible.
The doctors and nurses pushing the mobile bed, Feng Daxing, Hu Yun, and others, all lowered their heads, like a group of lifeless zombies.
Following closely behind, Zhao Dongcheng burst out of the elevator, disheveled, with a bruised face. His white coat was covered in shoe prints, and his glasses were nowhere to be seen.
Seeing Chen Xiao, he pounced on him as if he had found a lifesaver and knelt down, pleading,
"Dr. Chen! Help! Help me! Please, quickly use the Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Needle to prolong the patient's life, woo woo woo..."
Lei Qingfeng recognized that it was indeed Zhao Dongcheng who was kowtowing to Chen Xiao. His heart leaped into his throat, and his body went limp as he slumped to the ground, his expression filled with horror.
In fact, even if Zhao Dongcheng hadn't pleaded, Chen Xiao, with his benevolent heart, would not have stood by and watched.
He hastily threw down the wrench, wiped his oil-stained hands with his white coat, and rushed to the mobile hospital bed. As he took out the silver needles he carried, he quickly lifted the white sheet covering Aunt Zhang, and the mysterious, wordless golden formula in his mind operated to its extreme.
However, the silver needles in Chen Xiao's hand never pierced, because Aunt Zhang had been dead for a long time, and her body was already cold.
In an instant, boundless rage surged towards Chen Xiao's forehead like a volcanic eruption.
He turned back and glared furiously at Lei Qingfeng and Zhao Dongcheng, who were whispering to each other, and roared in a deep voice,
"You two bastards, aren't you going to come over and kowtow to the deceased?"
Guiltily avoiding Chen Xiao's sharp gaze, Zhao Dongcheng shrunk his head and argued,
"I... I wasn't the deceased's attending physician."
Lei Qingfeng's gaze was equally guilty, but his words were venomous,
"Chen Xiao, Deputy Director Zhao has already told me that the patient was handed over to you by Zhou Wanning. Anyone who participated in the intern clinical skills competition can testify, so the patient's death should be your sole responsibility!"
