Chapter Fourteen It Was You All Along

  Tang Xiaofeng and Zhang Wei rushed to the small restaurant where Zhang Wei had eaten with Liu Li earlier. They quickly walked into the restaurant, where three tables were occupied by diners, but none of them had tomato dishes. Tang Xiaofeng didn't care about them and found the owner of the restaurant, explaining their intention. However, the owner did not believe them at all, saying that he had been running the restaurant for many years and never had any problems with customers in his restaurant, and suspected that Tang Xiaofeng and Zhang Wei were colluding to extort him.

  Tang Xiaofeng was furious, and the boss said that Zhang Wei had eaten here before, but Tang Xiaofeng had never been there. He insisted that they were in cahoots to extort him. At this time, all the diners stood up and started talking. After Tang Xiaofeng's repeated explanations failed, he simply called the police. The police arrived quickly, just a few minutes later, and after hearing Tang Xiaofeng's statement, they immediately sealed off the scene, ignoring the restaurant owner's objections, and took several tomatoes to the hospital for testing.

  The results came out soon. According to the analysis, there were large amounts of organic phosphorus insecticides on the tomatoes, which led to food poisoning in people who had eaten them.

  Then who should be responsible for this, the restaurant owner or the farmer who delivered the vegetables to the boss? Tang Xiaofeng didn't have the mood to care about this matter anymore, these things would be handled by the police.

  As the two rushed back to the hospital, it was already approaching 11 pm. Zhang Wei pulled Tang Xiao Feng to go check on Liu Li's condition in the emergency department. Tang Xiao Feng thought that going back to the dormitory to sleep a little late wouldn't make a difference, and he also wanted to see how the girl he sent to the hospital was doing. He followed Zhang Wei towards the emergency department. However, as soon as they stepped into the emergency room, Tang Xiao Feng was stunned. He saw two women standing outside the triage desk, asking the nurse something, and his eyes widened in shock. When the nurse inside the triage desk saw him and said a few words to the two women, pointing at him, Tang Xiao Feng was completely stunned.

  Two women outside the consultation desk turned around to look at Tang Xiaofeng at the same time. Tang Xiaofeng suddenly felt that he shouldn't have come to the emergency department with Zhang Wei, and suddenly had an urge to run away. Zhang Wei looked at the two women for a moment, one of whom was a woman who appeared to be in her early forties, with long hair neatly combed and tied up in a bun on top of her head, with big eyes as clear as autumn water under her wide-rimmed black glasses. The other was a girl about 23 or 24 years old, tall and slender, wearing a light blue denim shirt, with shiny black hair that looked like a waterfall, making her look particularly elegant and charming, with an oval-shaped face, long curved eyebrows, and big eyes as clear as spring water under them, a small straight nose, soft and delicate lips that exuded a warm and gentle flavor. After looking at Tang Xiaofeng for a moment, thinking they knew each other, he didn't pay attention to it anymore and walked straight towards Liu Li's hospital bed.

  Tang Xiaofeng gazed at them, and the middle-aged woman's face broke into a smile. The smile seemed to convey that she had discovered something worth striving for. The girl's facial expression was initially taken aback, but then her face lit up with joy. Tang Xiaofeng thought to himself, "What is going on? Who goes on a blind date at the hospital? And it's not even four or five hours apart?" Just as he was hesitating and didn't know how to greet them, he suddenly heard a pleasant voice.

  "It really is you!" The girl looked at Tang Xiao Feng and said.

  Just as Tang Xiaofeng was confused and didn't know what to do, a middle-aged woman walked up and said: "I'm Li Juan's aunt. Thank you for sending Li Juan to the hospital. I heard from the emergency doctor that fortunately you were on the scene and did first aid to induce vomiting, otherwise the child's condition would not be so good now." After finishing speaking, she looked at the girl and said: "You chat for a while, I'll go see if your sister is okay."

  Suddenly, the girl walked up to Tang Xiao Feng and revealed a bright smile, extending her slender white hand: "Hello, my name is Li Na, nice to meet you!" Tang Xiao Feng smiled and extended his hand, their right hands touching, Li Na's hand was warm, soft and smooth, giving Tang Xiao Feng's palm an extremely comfortable feeling.

  Li Na said in a low voice: "Thank you, you saved my sister, you're really amazing."

  Tang Xiao Feng awkwardly opened his mouth, revealing a set of snow-white and neat teeth, and said in a low voice: "A doctor's heart is benevolent, every doctor present would do the same."

  "Sister, you're here too." Li Juan walked out of the ward with her aunt, but when she saw Tang Xiao Feng beside Li Na, her originally happy smile suddenly turned into a shy blush, and she said in a barely audible voice: "Thank you, I'm sorry for misunderstanding you back then."

  Tang Xiaofeng smiled at the soft-spoken little girl and said, "It's okay now. Go back and pay attention to rest and diet. It's normal for headaches and loss of appetite to appear after recovery."

  Li Na wanted to say something, but saw Jiang Tao and Tang Xiao Feng walking over to greet her warmly: "Xiao Feng, aren't you going back to rest? Tomorrow you still have to follow the director on duty." Tang Xiao Feng smiled: "I'm waiting for Zhang Wei, aren't I?" Li Na's mother led Li Juan and her sister to thank Jiang Tao and Tang Xiao Feng again and again, said goodbye and left. Jiang Tao and Tang Xiao Feng symbolically escorted them to the entrance of the emergency department.

  Jiang Tao smiled and said, "Xiao Feng, I've helped you so much, you should at least show some gratitude!" Xiao Feng awkwardly smiled and said, "Uh, yeah, I'll treat you to dinner later." Jiang Tao nodded in agreement: "Alright, go get some rest first, we still have to be on duty with the director tomorrow."

  When Tang Xiao Feng finally managed to extricate himself from the food poisoning incident, it was already 12 o'clock. He glanced at his watch and saw that the night shift doctors were about to arrive. He rushed straight to the emergency ward, only to find Zhang Wei chatting with Liu Li. Tang Xiao Feng's face turned black with anger as he said to Zhang Wei, "The night shift doctors are almost here, do you want to keep chatting and try to make it onto tomorrow's morning news?" Zhang Wei and Liu Li hastily bid farewell to the on-duty doctor, Zhao Yong and Jiang Tao, before rushing towards their dormitory at the back of the hospital. Tang Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Zhang Wei was completely ignoring him now, a typical example of someone who values romance over friendship. Despite his good intentions in reminding Zhang Wei, the latter had already taken off on his own. Tang Xiao Feng smiled wryly and quickly followed after him.
