As the elevator door opened, the two of them instantly perked up.
Regardless of whether he was afraid or making plans for the next step, at this moment, what he had to face was finally in front of him. Two people in protective suits slowly walked out of the elevator and walked in the direction of the guards inside.
“President Shan, are you ready? If you regret it now, it’s not too late. But once you go in, there’s no chance of regret.” Deputy Director Cui turned his head and said softly, “We’re getting closer and closer. If you’re ready, I’ll have to prepare to take action.”
Shan Yue looked up slightly. From the corner of her eye, she saw that Chang Ling was already in position in the corner, waiting for her next move. Hence, she gave her answer without thinking.
“Of course I am.” Shan Yue did not show much expression on her face, because the environment on the top floor was already dark. In addition, Shan Yue was wearing a protective suit, so she gave off a mysterious and unfathomable feeling.
Right on the heels of that, she muttered to herself, “Let’s get to work.”
“Deputy Director Cui, why are you here? It’s already so late and it’s already midnight. Besides, you’re not on duty today. Logically speaking, you shouldn’t be here.”
Before Deputy Director Cui and Shan Yue could approach the door of the isolation ward, the two guards guarding it took the lead to bow slightly and greet them.
Without waiting for Deputy Director Cui to answer, another guard chimed in. “That’s right, Deputy Director Cui. At this time, this isn’t a place you should come to, right? Director Cheng specially instructed us that the room is too dangerous, so as long as there are no special circumstances, no one is allowed to enter.”
“I naturally know this. You don’t have to remind me. Ever since I came with Director Cheng last time, 1 haven’t come to investigate. Recently, Director Cheng has been busy with work, so I’m here to relieve some of her burden.”
Deputy Director Cui’s tone was very confident. He did not look like he had done anything wrong at all. “Director Cheng often told me that this virus is very rare, so 1 specially brought a miracle doctor who treats all illnesses. Let’s see if we can find any new clues.”
“But, Deputy Director Cui, this isn’t too good. After all, even the patients inside are already resting at this time.”
One of the guards was still holding on and refused to give in. “Why don’t we do this? Come back tomorrow during the day. 1 can inform Director Cheng about this. Let’s make a concession to each other. It’ll be more convenient for both of us.”
“There’s no need for that at all. Since I’m already here today, I’m not prepared to go back like this. Besides, even if I can come back tomorrow, the doctor behind me doesn’t have the time.”
Deputy Director Cui’s voice gradually became louder and louder, and there was even a hint of impatience. “I’ll tell Director Cheng about this tomorrow myself. You don’t have to worry about it. You just have to do your job. The rest is not under your jurisdiction.”
With that, Deputy Director Cui prepared to bring Shan Yue in. To his surprise, the two of them had just taken two steps forward when the guard at the door reached out and stopped them. It was precisely because of this action that Deputy Director Cui deeply felt offended. He was already impatient, but the anger in his heart was provoked at once. His eyes were clearly aggressive.
“What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel? Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me? Do you not want to continue working here?”
Deputy Director Cui’s voice rose a notch, making it especially obvious in the already silent corridor. “When I was working in this hospital, you didn’t even know where you were. Now, even monkeys want to be overlords?”
“No, don’t misunderstand. We don’t mean to offend you. It’s just that Director Cheng did give us an order. We’re all paid to do things. Don’t make things difficult for us. Give us a way out..”
