Chapter 532: Good Means

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The hospital was really quiet.

Deep in the night, a place like a hospital would seem more desolate.

Quan Shaoteng waited fruitlessly for another whole day. After taking a nap earlier around noon, he took on the night duty again.

Although Cheng Zheng didn’t like him, he felt that he needed to step in. “Why work so hard? You should take a rest. Let me help you with the night duty!”

“I can’t do that.” Quan Shaoteng looked at him lazily. “I can’t do your work. You can’t help with my work either.”

“Can’t you use anyone else from your team?” Cheng Zheng furrowed his eyebrows at his stubbornness.

“It’s different,” replied Quan Shaoteng casually, before suddenly sniffing the air. “What smell is this?”

Cheng Zheng was startled. “I don’t smell anything.”

Quan Shaoteng gave him a glance. “Something wrong with your nose? It’s the smell of stewed pork with brown sauce. You didn’t smell it?”

Cheng Zheng: “It’s just your illusion! You must be hungry.”

Quan Shaoteng sniffed the air again. “It’s not an illusion. It really smells nice, you still didn’t smell it?”

Cheng Zheng looked at him again and decided to start packing up for the day. “Order a takeout delivery then.”

He had stayed behind till now and he need not do the night duty. Hence, he was preparing to go back home.

Hmph! Quan Shaoteng let out a yawn and didn’t say anything more.

In less than two minutes, Miao Zichen came to the doctor’s office. “Handsome, are you done? Shall we go?”

Oh, so she’s waiting for him? thought Quan Shaoteng.

Are they going back together?

In the middle of the night?

A man and a woman?

Quan Shaoteng’s imagination started to run wild and he knocked on the table.

“Hey!”

Cheng Zheng heard that and turned his head. “What?”

Quan Shaoteng looked at his calm expression and showed an evil grin. “Why did I suddenly have an urge to agree to your earlier suggestion?”

“…”

Cheng Zheng looked at Miao Zichen who was waiting for him. “Too bad, you’re a little too late.” He turned to Quan Shaoteng.

After that, he took his bag and got out of the doctors’ office.

“Hey!” Quan Shaoteng watched their backs move away. “How can you do this!”

Last night, Miao Zichen was the one on night duty. It was hence, Mei Xin’s turn to be on night duty. It was something that was very normal and reasonable but recently, Quan Shaoteng saw Cheng Zheng as an eyesore. He felt that these two were clearly bullying Mei Xin, the stupid girl in his eyes.

Guarding Cui Jiaying was his mission, as well as the mission of the Operations Team. Quan Shaoteng couldn’t leave his post just like this.

Otherwise, he would have agreed to Cheng Zheng helping him with the night duty.

After puffing a sigh, he went to order a takeout delivery.

But thinking about it, he sent a message in the Gossip group chat.

“Is there any comrade who wants supper? I’ll be ordering hot and spicy crayfish. Whoever wants to eat, please tell me, it’s my treat.”

Salimu and Ding Yifan immediately responded with enthusiasm.

However, as they were in a different location from him, Quan Shaoteng told them to scram.

“You’re the one who said to tell you yet you refuse to buy us supper. Captain Quan, are you pranking us? What are you trying to pull?”

“I’m serious. Are you sure you’re alright, Captain Quan?”

Quan Shaoteng’s face turned gloomy. “This young master likes to tease people, what about it?”

“… We can’t take the teasing. We’re hungry already.”

“Hmph! Since you’re so pitiful, just wait for it! My treat!”

The detectives in the group chat cheered in joy.

Everyone instantly forgotten that they had asked Quan Shaoteng if he was alright earlier. Currently, they were complimenting how handsome and generous Captain Quan was.

There was no response from Mei Xin.

Quan Shaoteng thought for a moment and ordered takeout delivery for the detectives in the group chat. He even ordered the same thing for the hospital staff who was on night duty and in the same department as him…

Half an hour later, the takeout delivery arrived.

The hospital staff were delighted to receive the food and expressed their thanks to him.

After the staff left, Quan Shaoteng still had two sets of food.

He looked at the hot and spicy crayfish. Actually, he was not that hungry.

Then he took a set and went to Cui Jiaying’s ward.

Mei Xin was a very responsible person for she did the same work as the actual nurse at the hospital.

“Hey!” Quan Shaoteng knocked on the door.

There was another nurse who was about Mei Xin’s age and was on night duty with her.

Both of them turned around when they heard him.

Mei Xin took a glance at Quan Shaoteng but chose to keep quiet. The other nurse, however, her eyes lit up at the sight of him.

“Doctor Teng, is there anything you need?”

She only knew that this was a new doctor that came to their department. His surname was Teng and their Department Head called him—Little Teng. She didn’t know much about him. Nevertheless, as Doctor Teng was a really good-looking guy, she couldn’t resist stealing a few more glances at him.

Quan Shaoteng was very familiar with such gazes from women.

Nonetheless, Mei Xin’s gaze was still as apathetic as ever. He showed a confident smile and lifted up the takeout delivery. “There’s one extra takeout delivery. Anyone of you wants it?”

“Umm…”

In fact, the hospital staff were not allowed to have supper when they were on duty.

On the other hand, the workload on the doctors and nurses was heavy. When they got hungry during the night, they would also order takeout delivery. Even when their superiors learnt of it, they would turn a blind eye to it as well. Moreover, the nurse found it really hard to reject supper from such a good-looking doctor.

She took a look at Mei Xin and wanted to talk when she heard Mei Xin’s voice. “I don’t want it. I have work to do.”

Her expression was indifferent and she rejected the offer outright.

The nurse felt embarra.s.sed. “Actually… it’s alright to eat, really. It won’t affect our work.”

“You can go ahead.” Mei Xin turned away and did not look at Quan Shaoteng anymore.

“…”

It was a kind gesture but he got the cold shoulder?

Quan Shaoteng narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled at the nurse. “Go ahead and eat then, you can have it all to yourself… The taste is great, you won’t be disappointed.”

The nurse was flattered by his unexpected comment. “Sure! Thank you Doctor Teng!”

She walked up happily to him to get the food.

But when she stretched out her hand, Quan Shaoteng didn’t pa.s.s the food to her.

He looked towards Mei Xin’s direction. “Did both of you smell anything?”

Mei Xin took a look at the food that he was holding. She thought that he was trying to tempt her with the food. “Nope.”

“Something’s amiss!” Quan Shaoteng was very alert. That sensitivity to changes and alertness came from the many years of training with the military. “There’s a strange smell in the air…”

Mei Xin looked at him in the eye.

And suddenly, they had a drastic change of expression.

“A burning smell!”

Burning? Quan Shaoteng focused and sniffed the air again and his facial expression turned grim.

He instructed Mei Xin, “Don’t move about unnecessarily.” After that, he gave the food to the nurse and walked out of the ward where he immediately contacted his team.

“Immediately check what is happening at the hospital. There is a burning smell in the air and I feel that something is amiss!”

The hospital was very big, if they could smell a faint burning smell in the air, there would certainly be areas that could smell it as well.

In no time, a team member immediately reported, “Captain Quan, the hospital pharmacy is on fire…”

“How did the fire start?”

“I heard that someone was secretly cooking in there. But the fire is not that big. The hospital is now trying to put out the fire and has called up 119…”

Hur!

Coincidence? Not.

Setting a fire to create chaos or a diversion was one of the most popular means of doing so!

Quan Shaoteng deliberated for a moment and issued a command for his team.

“Immediately get ready and go into standby mode!”

“Roger!”

“Roger!”

Of course, they would not rule out the possibility that it might have been arson.

Quan Shaoteng immediately contacted Bai Muchuan and told him what happened at the hospital. When he ended the call, he could see thick smoke rising from the windows. The pharmacy that caught fire was in the building next to the hospital, connected by a walkway.

Just earlier, his team member said the fire was not big, yet in less than a few minutes, the fire seemed to have spread..
