"The Dean is amazing!" The driver clapped, gazing at him with admiration. "If the Dean hadn't driven away the evil being, we would probably all be dead by its hand."
The mute man, the moment he woke up, used his bloody finger to write on the car window…
[I will sue you.]
He was treated so terribly. Even if you wouldn't save me, why use me as a shield? Why such cruelty? Don't you have any conscience?
Li Laifu waved his hands modestly. "What I said was just a possibility, I'm still not entirely sure. But when encountering an evil being, I must stand up. Protecting my staff and patients is my responsibility. Even though I'm old, that brave heart still exists."
Then he looked at the driver and said,
"I'm still just the Vice Dean, not the Dean yet. That 'Vice' prefix is still necessary."
"Yes, Vice Dean," the driver replied.
Li Laifu nodded with satisfaction. He was only the Vice Dean, but the staff already addressed him as Dean. This was the will of the people!
The four experts from the Special Department felt something was off.
Actually, there was no need to be so uncertain.
It was definitely off. They didn't believe the evil being was driven away by this Dean.
"It's so cute."
"It's also delicious."
Lin Fan and Old Man Zhang muttered to each other.
The four experts from the Special Department, unaware of their identities, inquired, "Did you see where the evil being went?"
Lin Fan looked at them calmly, a slight smile on his face. Who is the evil being, and what is that? I don't understand, I can only smile and show them we are friendly. We are not bad people.
"Old Zhang, did you see it?" Lin Fan asked.
"I don't know who he is," Old Man Zhang said, confused.
The two looked at each other again and laughed inexplicably.
The Special Department experts looked at the two in front of them, feeling that something was wrong with them. They were definitely not right in the head.
Li Laifu said, "Let me introduce you. These two are mental patients from Qingshan Mental Hospital, also my patients. We were passing by here to send them back to Qingshan."
"You understand, right?"
The four Special Department experts looked at each other, somewhat helpless.
They had just been communicating with mental patients.
Weren't they asking for trouble?
No wonder. They had noticed the frightening looks and smiles these two gave them. It turned out they were mentally ill, which made it easy to understand.
Li Laifu's purpose was simple: to send the two mental patients back. He had sworn he would never leave them at his hospital.
Even if the sky fell, he would hold it up with one hand and steer the wheel with the other to send them back.
The situation was indeed troublesome now, but what he lacked wasn't time. Hadn't they noticed the light drizzle when they left the hospital? Now the weather had turned fine. What beautiful weather!
It meant that even the heavens were reminding him: send them back, and your world will be sunny.
The Cross-River Bridge was a crucial transportation route. After the evil being was eliminated, a department came to clear the road. The drivers who had fled, upon learning that everything was alright, immediately returned to find their cars.
Just kidding, those were their beloved cars. They usually couldn't bear to even touch them. If someone damaged them, what would they do?
Before long, the road was cleared.
The mute man continued to write his grievances with his bloody finger.
Li Laifu comforted him, "Your injuries are quite complex. I think you need to go to the hospital for a proper check-up. Stop writing for now and come with me. After I send these two patients back to Qingshan Mental Hospital, I'll take you to my hospital for a thorough examination."
Although he encountered some trouble while passing the Cross-River Bridge, picking up a patient to bring back to the hospital would add to the hospital's income. His luck was pretty good.
Qingshan Mental Hospital.
Director Hao stood by the French window, smoking, his eyes fixed on the hospital gate.
He had received the news.
Li Laifu was personally sending the two mental patients back again. This was heartless to the extreme. He had earned a good reputation for their hospital. If they had any conscience, they should invite them to stay for a while.
A proper thank you.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The familiar sound came. He knew it was all wishful thinking. They were really being sent back.
Downstairs.
Li Laifu and the driver unloaded the emergency stretcher. He had no other intention but to give them two more as a gesture of goodwill.
"Brother Li, this isn't very nice of you. No matter what, our mental hospital's patients brought your hospital a great reputation and made you happy for a while. You just sent them to your hospital yesterday, and today you're sending them back. That's excessive!" Director Hao strongly disapproved of their actions.
Where was their medical ethics? Where was their humanity? Where was their compassion?
Heartless and ruthless!
Li Laifu looked at Director Hao, his expression calm. He had pleaded and knelt, and he would not do so again, because it was completely useless. Director Hao, his senior, was more ruthless than anyone.
"Director Hao, Senior Hao, Brother Hao, do you know what I encountered on the way back?"
"You probably don't know, but I can tell you."
"An evil being, a terrifying evil being. But even an evil being couldn't stop me. Look at how the car windows are smashed, completely shattered. Do you think this car can still be driven?"
"You don't have to answer, I'll tell you. Actually, it can't. But why could I still send them back? Because I have determination. You know what I'm thinking, right?"
"No need for more words. I won't ask for repair fees or medical expenses. I'm even giving you two emergency stretchers. No other meaning, just please accept them."
"Goodbye!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Laifu turned around without looking back, got in the car, and stepped on the gas.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The ambulance disappeared like the wind around the corner, leaving quickly without any hesitation.
Lin Fan and Old Man Zhang opened their arms, breathing in the fresh air.
"I'm back."
"I'm back too."
They had missed home while at the hospital, and now they were finally back. Their restless hearts finally calmed down.
Director Hao looked at the two, sighed slightly, and waved for the orderlies to take them back to their ward.
Ward 666.
Lin Fan and Old Man Zhang lay on their beds, taking deep breaths.
"This is my smell."
"This is my smell."
Old Man Zhang took two bags of soy milk from the cabinet.
"Drink Sprite."
"Drink Coke."
The two sat on the bed, leisurely drinking.
"Finally, I can drink Coke."
"I can drink Sprite too."
Old Man Zhang was in a good mood. Then he saw a bulge in Lin Fan's crotch and asked curiously,
"What's that?"
Lin Fan looked down at his crotch, then opened his pants and pulled out a small knife. He looked puzzled yet calm, and said,
"Huh!"
"Didn't you return it? Why is it here? Oh, right, I used it to cut the cute meat. I was afraid of losing it, so I put it here. Do you think they will come looking for us?"
Old Man Zhang scratched his head. "I don't know. Better hide it."
"That's right."
Lin Fan nodded calmly, opened his pants, put the small knife back in his crotch, and then enjoyed his drink with Old Man Zhang. It was so good.
It felt so good to be home!
