Just after going down about three floors, a man appeared on the floor that Li Tao and the others were about to reach.
The elder brother took the initiative to greet him: "Doctor Zhou, are you on night shift today?"
Zhou Minghua looked a little tired, with dark circles under his eyes. "Yes, it's my turn to work the night shift in the emergency room."
"This kind of place is really not suitable for you. I think you have aged four or five years in just two weeks."
Zhou Minghua sighed: "All the houses allocated by the company have been rented out. After paying off the loan, I have nothing left except this. I can only sleep on the street. I will be fined if I sleep outside."
Finally, Li Tao also knew that Luma University has a school rule that applies to everyone.
That is, after midnight, you cannot lie down anywhere other than in buildings, such as on benches in artificial lake parks, otherwise certain points will be deducted.
Of course you can sleep in a car, but those who sleep on the streets are too poor to buy a car.
Zhou Minghua's eyes fell on Li Tao, and his expression suddenly became hesitant: "Have we met before?"
Li Tao pursed his lips and thought for a moment. He also felt that this doctor named Zhou Minghua looked familiar.
"Oh, it's you~"
The two people recognized each other at the same time.
"You must be the doctor who rescued Qiu Shuyu."
"You are the one who pulled out the needle and did the acupuncture!"
The elder brother looked at the two of them curiously, but he looked at the time and saw that they could not go any further in two minutes, so he could only urge them:
"If you have anything to do, go down first. You're only on the third floor. Don't wait another five minutes for the next wave."
Li Tao and Zhou Minghua nodded at the same time, followed the old man, and walked down one after another.
After leaving the unit, the old man received a phone call and his face turned very ugly. He said goodbye to Li Tao and Zhou Minghua and trotted away into the alley.
"Uh... Doctor Zhou... right?"
"Ah."
"This teacher said that this is my first time here today. There are quite a few people at these food stalls at night..."
“The price is relatively cheap.”
Li Tao scratched his head, unable to continue the awkward conversation. He was a little embarrassed to speak his mind directly: "I just used my mobile phone to call a taxi, but there was no car matched at all. How can I leave?"
Zhou Minghua shook his head helplessly: "Those part-time taxi drivers don't dare to go to Fuziyue during the day, let alone at night, but there is a bus stop, I will take you there."
Chapter 170 Doubts
"Click~"
Li Manzi squatted on the sofa in front of the TV, and the big bag of potato chips on her lower abdomen was empty.
"Xue'er, the women in this drama all have great bodies. This man wakes up feeling happy every morning. But she doesn't have a good body like me, don't you think?"
After Li Manzi finished speaking, she didn't wait for Xiangxue's reply, so she turned her little head away curiously.
Xiangxue, who was standing in the living room mopping the floor, disappeared.
"Hey, didn't Xue'er say she would watch this episode with me?"
"Click~"
Li Manzi ate another piece of potato chips, put her feet on the sofa and slowly stood up, looking towards the second floor of the duplex.
"Xue'er, where are you? The heroine said she's going to use her ultimate move to seduce men, come and learn it quickly~"
A female oligarch who was once a powerful figure in the business world now looks like a dirty, shameless otaku. Anyone who knows Li Manzi's identity would be stunned.
There was a series of "ding-dong" sounds coming from the bedroom, followed by Xiang Lian saying in a slightly weak voice: "No, I'm going to lie down on the bed and take a nap."
Why does the voice sound so weak?
She must have heard the cheesy love words in the drama when she was mopping the floor in the back...
Li Manzi was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face flushed, she sat back on the sofa, her face flushed as she whispered:
"It's obvious that she has never had a boyfriend. She can't stand watching anything about love and starts daydreaming..."
Li Manzi pouted, hummed, and murmured: "It doesn't matter, if you don't want to watch it with me, forget it. I have a husband anyway, and I don't need to daydream when talking about love. It's embarrassing~"
"Click~"
Li Manzi turned her attention back to the TV, her mouth unable to stop talking. When she saw those cheesy words, her face turned red and her heart beat faster, so she gobbled potato chips to relieve her hunger and thirst.
On the second floor, Xiangxue’s bedroom.
The half-open door was shrouded in a strange atmosphere. A very faint smell of blood was hidden in the air and came out from the crack of the bedroom door.
A woman with a red face as if she was sunburned was lying on the floor, her lips trembling. If you look closely at her face, you can see a horrifying scene.
It's not redness from sunburn.
It is a layer of very fine blood beads, which seep out from the pores of the skin like mites. From a distance, people may think it is congestion under the skin.
Xiangxue's pupils were slightly dilated, but the whites of her eyes looked as if they had been scratched by claws, and countless fine blood threads infected the entire eyeball.
"特(t)恩(eng)"
She bit her lips tremblingly, her teeth bleeding, but she still didn't want to make any loud noise.
Xiangxue's fingers slowly moved on the ground, reaching for the small white medicine bottle that had fallen under the bed...
……
"Here we are. This is it. Bus No. 494."
Zhou Minghua patted the dazed Li Tao and signaled him to get in the car.
"Oh, this is the car. Can it get to the city?"
"What city? This is a school. But it will be much more convenient to take a taxi when you get to the hospital. That's the bus terminal."
Zhou Minghua shook his head and got into the car first. Li Tao took a deep breath and followed closely with a sad look on his face.
He saw Zhou Minghua found a seat by the window and sat down, so he walked to the row behind that seat and sat down facing Zhou Minghua's back.
He did not speak to Zhou Minghua directly because he was in a daze while waiting for the bus just now. He suddenly had a bad premonition.
His right eyelid kept twitching.
The left eye twitching means good fortune, the right eye twitching means disaster. Although this has no scientific basis, it was so accurate in predicting Li Tao.
"It's unlucky..."
Zhou Minghua thought Li Tao's muttering was talking to him, so he sighed and agreed: "Yes, this name is really unlucky. 494, if you die, you die. I don't know what logic this name follows. It's really..."
Ha, Li Tao was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that he had this homophonic habit.
"By the way, Dr. Zhou, why do you come to live in a place like this?"
Although Li Tao heard him say that he had paid off the loan before, he still asked formally in order to further the conversation.
Zhou Minghua turned his head and looked out the window, his expression indescribably complicated.
"For personal reasons, I borrowed some points from a loan shark, and then I couldn't make ends meet and couldn't pay it back on time. Those people were really mean... so I had to sell things, and then I came to live in Fuziyu."
Obviously, Zhou Minghua had no interest in telling Li Tao why he took out the loan. Li Tao did not have the financial resources to help him pay off the debt, so it was not convenient to ask further.
However, Li Tao himself was not curious about Zhou Minghua's story. He approached Zhou Minghua more because he wanted to learn from him about the process of rescuing Qiu Shuyu.
"Alas, this loan is life-threatening, and the Luma Council doesn't intervene..."
Li Tao's sigh did not attract Zhou Minghua's interest in talking, but Li Tao's next words made him take the initiative to start a conversation.
"Qiu Shuyu is like this. She is beautiful and has good grades, but she was forced to that point by the debt..."
Zhou Minghua frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Qiu Shuyu is the girl who was not rescued in the car accident, right?"
"Yes, you were the patient at that time."
"Alas, he died at such a young age, and suffered so much before his death. It's so pitiful."
Zhou Minghua touched his nose, glanced at Li Tao behind him, and continued to ask: "You just mentioned debt, does she owe money too?"
"I guess so. To be more precise, it was the money owed by her beastly brother. He dumped all the debts on her and then left to enjoy his life abroad."
A debt of ten million was enough to make Li Tao hate the man he had never met to the core.
Because of the debt, Qiu Shuyu, who was originally at an above-average level, performed poorly in the assessments time and time again, and finally reached the point where she was about to be asked to drop out.
At this time, she met Zhao Lin and began her miserable life as a mistress.
Then, the Art Academy was driven around by Zhao Lin’s wife Bai Shuzhen, who almost drove her crazy that night.
Poor person, God will never have mercy on her. Soon she was hit and killed by Han Guguan and his three men while she was out sketching.
Li Tao still can't forget the happiness in Qiu Shuyu's eyes when she kissed him before she died.
"This Zhao Lin is such a fucking beast. I've known that bastard for three or four years, and I always thought he was not a good guy. He's a polite beast who forced his female students to be his mistresses. I..."
Zhou Minghua was also a man of temperament. After listening to Li Tao's part of Qiu Shuyu's story, he couldn't help but get angry and kicked the seat in front of him so hard that it made a loud noise.
Li Tao originally wanted to know whether anything strange happened when Zhou Minghua was being rescued. After all, Zhang Chenxi's strange remarks in the simulated battle made him have many speculations about Qiu Shuyu's death.
Her death was not simple, perhaps there was a huge conspiracy behind it.
But unexpectedly, Zhou Minghua actually knew Zhao Lin!
"Excuse me, how did Dr. Zhou and Zhao Lin know each other?"
Zhou Minghua reached out and poked the air outlet of the air conditioner. It must be because his body was uncomfortable being blown directly, so he adjusted it to a suitable direction. After pondering for a moment, he began to explain.
Zhao Lin is a teacher at the medical school and has a great reputation, otherwise he would not have been specially hired as an outstanding talent to work as a human structure consultant at the Academy of Art.
For teachers in medical school, it would be a waste if they were only allowed to teach in the school, so occasionally teachers also have to come to the school hospital to study some difficult and complicated diseases.
It was at this time that Zhou Minghua met Zhao Lin.
It should be mentioned that the school hospital of Luma University represents one of the world's top medical technology teams. Although it is only for students on campus, it still treats some complex cases.
There are some cooperative hospitals outside. When they admit patients, they will come into contact with some special patients, which are very difficult or even cases that have never appeared before. These cases will be transmitted to the school hospital as files through the Internet.
The school hospital will also conduct diagnosis and provide treatment plans for them, or use remote operation and robotic arms to perform remote surgery. When necessary, the patients will be taken to the school hospital.
They are not compassionate, they just use those difficult and complicated problems to improve their own level.
