The police officers quickly found the medical records of Shi Xing’s son, Shi Yue. They also found out that Lin Shanghuai was not in the hospital at all during the time that Shi Yue was admitted there.

It was in March last year. Lin Shanghuai was attending an international orthopaedic conference.

At that time, Shi Xing had brought Shi Yue to the hospital in a hurry. Shi Yue was seriously injured, and the doctors who were in the hospital at the time were not sure about how to save Shi Yue’s leg. It was regrettable indeed, they expressed; there would have been a glimmer of hope, although just a small one, with Lin Shanghuai, but given the extent of Shi Yue’s injuries…

Shi Xing held a grudge over something as simple as a sentence uttered in passing by those doctors.

He believed that if Lin Shanghuai had been present that day and not wandering around, he could have saved his son’s leg.

The people at the police station were infuriated upon hearing this, especially when they learned that Shi Yue’s leg injury resulted from his association with criminals. He was generally unruly and frequently engaged in mischievous activities. This made them even angrier.

Shi Xing had failed to properly supervise his child, and now he was blaming the doctor for the consequences.

It was truly baffling and infuriating!

Anger boiled within them.

They couldn’t even begin to imagine the enormous loss that the field of medicine would suffer if Lin Shanghuai did suffer a horrific incident today.

Understanding the truth of the matter relieved the burden in Lin Shanghuai’s heart.

He had been a doctor for many years and had encountered family members like Shi Xing before. Most of his patients were respectful to him, but considering the amount of people he treated, he was bound to meet a few unreasonable ones. His colleagues had experienced similar situations. News about doctors being physically assaulted was not uncommon.

However, he hadn’t expected such an incident to fall upon him. Even more absurdly, this entire matter was a case of displaced anger.

“There are many unreasonable people in this world, and even more with clouded judgment,” Qian Yan consoled Lin Shanghuai as they left the police station.

In her view, Lin Shanghuai was an excellent doctor. He shouldn’t be burdened psychologically by this incident.

He was a talented person.

If he were a subject in her empire, she would undoubtedly seek to retain him.

When Lin Shanghuai snapped back to reality, he noticed Qian Yan looking at him with a thoughtful expression. Being stared at by such a lovely young woman made him somewhat uncomfortable.

“I’ve seen this kind of thing happen before, but I didn’t expect it to happen to me,” Lin Shanghuai said. He then immediately changed the subject. “I didn’t expect Miss Gu to be very strong. I haven’t thanked you for saving me, either. If you didn’t happen to stop Shi Xing in the parking lot today… I don’t know what would’ve happened to me.

“Please let me treat you to dinner. I know a good seafood restaurant around here, and it’s almost time for dinner anyway,” Lin Shanghuai said. “I want to thank you for saving my life. Is Miss Gu willing to accept my thanks?”

Seeing Lin Shanghuai’s expectant look, Qian Yan agreed. She never liked to refuse reasonable requests from talented people, anyway.

Plus, given Gu Jingkui’s reckless behaviour, it was likely that she’d cause trouble for Lin Shanghuai in the future, so this meal seemed necessary.

Lin Shanghuai felt like he wasn’t quite himself today. Even though Shi Xing had been apprehended, his heart was still racing, and he couldn’t seem to control his heartbeat rate. This was abnormal for someone like him, who exercised regularly.

“Why don’t we take my car? I have a driver, and you don’t seem fit to drive in your current state,” Qian Yan suggested. She had noticed that Lin Shanghuai seemed a bit distracted.

She believed that he was experiencing some post-traumatic stress and fear.

Lin Shanghuai had initially thought to decline, as he was perfectly capable of driving, but the words that came out of his mouth were, “I do feel a bit shaken right now. Driving might not be the best idea.”
