Chapter 555: Overkill
Brother Zhong was indeed there at the security office and he was busy talking to another security guard. As Jiang Yao approached them, she recognized the other person as Chen Zhibin.
“Jiang Yao.” Chen Zhibin noticed her from a distance away, as expected from one of Lu Xingzhi’s outstanding former subordinates.
He noticed Jiang Yao looking at his uniform with a puzzled expression and said, albeit a little embarrassed, “After my mother was discharged from the hospital, I came to work here at the hospital. I hope you don’t mind me doing this?”
“Of course I don’t, both you and Brother Zhong are underutilized here.” Jiang Yao smiled. “How is your mother doing?”
“The doctor said that her recovery was good. I listened to you and bought a two-storey house, along with a yard, here in the city. Once my mother’s condition improves, she can do some gardening in the yard and not have to work anymore.” Chen Zhibin grinned. It was obvious from his reply that he was contented with the current arrangement of his life. “I found a caregiver for my mother, who will be looking after her needs and also spend some time with her. I came looking for a job since I had nothing else to do at home.”
“That’s great. I’ll visit your mother once I am not as busy.” Jiang Yao did not know how to help since she was unfamiliar with Mrs. Chen’s condition. Seemed like she would have to wait till the visit.
“Are you here to talk to Brother Zhong? I’ll take my leave here.” Chen Zhibin had to work nightshifts since he was only a regular security guard here at the hospital.
After Chen Zhibin was out of sight, Wu Zhong remarked, “Chen Zhibin is a pretty good character. He is an honest man and a hardworking one too.”
“I know.” Jiang Yao’s expression lightened up. “Brother Zhong, I came here to tell you that I’ll be operating on you tomorrow night. Trust me on this.”
Her previous doubts and uncertainties had vanished as Jiang Yao was confident in her ability.
“Sure.” Wu Zhong nodded.
“You may need a month or so to recover after the surgery. I’ll talk to the hospital and have Chen Zhibin cover for you for the time being. Once you’re fully recovered, you can resume your work.”
Jiang Yao left the hospital after a short conversation with Wu Zhong. Now that she possessed a driver’s license, it was better if she had her own car. With this in mind, she called Manager Sun, instructing him to go shop for a car and send it her way once it was ready to go on the road.
After her lessons ended the next day, Jiang Yao went to the hospital. The surgery for Wu Zhong lasted over an hour but nobody in the hospital knew the reason why Jiang Yao was here. When she called for the nurses after the operation, she did not reveal much, saying that she had someone else carry out the surgery instead, who left immediately after the operation.
The operating theater was arranged for her by the director. It was a seldom-used operating room on the top floor of the hospital. Since the entire floor was still under renovation and was devoid of human traffic, nobody doubted Jiang Yao’s explanation.
Jiang Yao prescribed some medicine for Wu Zhong from the hospital, but switched them out with her own from the Medical System.
