"Everyone, open the doors to your rooms and let the police station conduct a thorough search. Being accused of stealing women's underwear is a serious charge—if it falls on the heads of our health center doctors, who would dare to visit our clinic for treatment?" Liu Jinzhi shouted aloud.
Zhou Peng and a few others found themselves in a dilemma as they had specifically targeted Pang Feng. They had prepared a plan to frame Pang Feng the day before, but now their attempt to 'steal the chicken' had backfired and instead they were exposed by Pang Feng, with He Jun even making a fool of himself.
Starting from Zou Wenming's report this morning, the person who reported the crime and the cues from the police station all pointed towards Pang Feng. Especially Zou Wenming, who thumped his chest saying he saw Pang Feng steal Ou Jiaojiao's underwear with his own eyes. Now that the police had searched Pang Feng's room and found nothing, could the matter just end like this?
Once Liu Jinzhi said this, all the male doctors in the hospital were even more unwilling to accept it. This accusation was too severe—if the matter wasn't cleared up, people outside would gossip, saying there was a pervert among the Wugai Mountain Sanitation Hospital, suspecting any doctor that worked at the hospital. How could that be allowed?
"Our rooms must be searched by the police station! Let's open our rooms!" Tang Zhijian, from the traditional Chinese medicine department, was the first to call for a search. Those who studied traditional medicine were typically very conservative, and Tang Zhijian was the first to not let the police station off the hook.
As soon as Tang Zhijian spoke, the other doctors all responded in unison.
There was no way out for Zhou Peng; if he was riding a tiger, then let the search begin.
Initially, it was just a few people from the police station who entered the dormitory building to search, but there were too few of them and they couldn't keep up. Then, everyone from the hospital entered the dormitory building, helping to search together. Any item that could be turned over in the rooms was turned over. Later, onlookers from outside also poured into the dormitory building, joining the search.
This was a serious matter, and everyone hoped for as thorough a search as possible. Everyone wished they could turn the place upside down.
However, after all that searching, they found absolutely nothing.
"Alright, alright, we can't draw any conclusions about today's incident for now. Go back to whatever you need to do, and we'll revisit this once we have new leads," Director Zhou Peng announced.
"Doctor Zou, what's going on? Didn't you say the evidence was conclusive? Could you have seen wrong?" Liu Jinzhi challenged Zou Wenming.
Zou Wenming hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth and said, "Sister Liu, how could I have seen wrong? It's impossible; I didn't sleep at all last night, I was specifically watching for this!"
"But that's not right; how could it not be found?"
As Zou Wenming was pressed by the crowd, he rolled his eyes and looked coldly at Pang Feng, saying, "Maybe he already disposed of the items. He's an old hand at this. Next time, I will catch him red-handed in the act!"
Pang Feng had been waiting for these words from Zou Wenming. He burst out, "Zou Wenming, don't slap the shit bucket on someone's head too early. The search isn't over yet, damn it! All our rooms have been searched, but Vice President Wen's room hasn't been. Vice President Wen, to prove your innocence, shouldn't you let everyone have a look inside your room too?"
As soon as Pang Feng said this, there was a unanimous silence, and Zou Wenming strode up to Pang Feng, saying, "Pang Feng, what the hell are you talking about? You dare to doubt Vice President Wen? Are you looking for death?"
Pang Feng sneered coldly, saying, "It's not a question of doubt. With such a huge bucket of shit dumped down, we need to clear things up for everyone! Besides, we've all been treated equally; every room has been searched. If Vice President Wen's room is not searched today and the police station leaves such a big loophole, how will outsiders talk about it later? It will only lead to Vice President Wen being the subject of criticism. If Vice President Wen has done nothing wrong and is steady in his position, why fear a search?"
Pang Feng's words left Zou Wenming speechless, and Wen Xuebing's face turned green and then pale, extremely unsightly.
Now, Wen Xuebing had no say in the matter, as Pang Feng had made it very clear. If Wen Xuebing refused the search, his status might protect him from the crowd, but there would certainly be no shortage of gossip. Why could other people's rooms be searched, but not Wen Xuebing's? There must be something fishy!
With so many people present today, what was abundantly clear was that gossips thrived—the kind who couldn't wait to spread a word. As soon as one of them started chewing on the story, there was no telling what it would turn into by the end.

"Fine, I'll open the door so you can search. Search all you want," Wen Xuebing said coldly. "Pang Feng, I can tell you clearly that today is your last day as an intern at our hospital. Later, you will pack your things and get out." If looks could kill, Pang Feng would have died a hundred times over.
Pang Feng let out a cold laugh, "Vice President Wen, my internship report is with Director Jin. Since when did you become the president of the hospital?"
"You..." Wen Xuebing was so choked by Pang Feng's words that he almost spat blood. Wen Xuebing was the Vice President in charge of operations, meaning he oversaw hospital operations, not personnel.
Only Director Jin had the authority to make personnel decisions in the hospital. Although in reality, Wen Xuebing had a significant say, even with that influence, he couldn't just tell Pang Feng to get lost with a single sentence—he didn't have that right.
Wen Xuebing's room was finally opened. The Vice President in charge of operations had a different setup—three bedrooms, two living rooms, luxurious decor.
"Search, go on and search!"
Zhou Peng and a few others entered the room, rooting around here and there. It was obvious they were just going through the motions, not really intending to conduct a thorough search.
The crowd outside didn't expect any skullduggery either. Seeing the excitement dying down, many were ready to leave in twos and threes.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Pang Feng shouted loudly, "Wow! Look under the mattress. What's that under the mattress?"
Pang Feng's outcry grabbed everyone's attention.
Those who were about to leave stayed, crowding by the window to look at what was on Wen Xuebing's bed.
"There's nothing! Where is there anything? I don't see anything!"
Pang Feng strode in swiftly. Wen Xuebing screeched, "What are you doing?"
Nobody could stop Pang Feng because he was too fast. He rushed to Wen Xuebing's bedside, flipped over his mattress with one hand.
"Wow! What's this?" Pang Feng picked up a plump object with something resembling hair on it.
"Oh, I made a mistake. This doesn't seem to be a lady's underwear! What is this thing?"
Wen Xuebing was already beside himself with rage, charging over and roaring, "Pang Feng, get out, just get out!"
Pang Feng, feigning ignorance, slowly brought his head close to Wen Xuebing's, pretending to have a private exchange, then suddenly stepped back and said, "Vice President Wen, what is this? Is this an inflatable doll? What's an inflatable doll used for?"
"And what's this?"
Pang Feng pulled out another object from below the mattress. This one was easy to identify, as it hadn't been deflated yet—it was a mold of a human body, specifically a woman's voluptuous bottom and those private parts were all too clear...
And lo and behold, the legendary Fleshlight was also discovered by Pang Feng.
