Chapter 13

The emergency department was always busier than other departments. When Lu Anran returned to the department, she received a batch of severely injured patients from a series of car accidents. Operations were performed one after the other, and she didn’t even bother to eat lunch. She only munched on a Snickers bar and carried on until nine o’clock in the evening.

When she was finished working, she was completely exhausted.

There were many missed calls and unread messages on her phone. They were basically all from Cheng Zhi. The last was a WeChat message, saying that he was waiting downstairs in her dormitory to talk to her. It was sent 10 minutes ago.

Although it was no longer necessary for the two of them to talk about the matter, Lu Anran thought that breakups must be made face-to-face.

Therefore, she sent a WeChat message to Gu Liangchen: 

[There is something I need to do tonight. I’m staying in the dormitory.]

She needed to go through the basement parking lot to go back to the dormitory. She had been going through that passage for more than two years, but when she was halfway through, she suddenly saw Director Huang walking out of a dark corner.

She immediately stopped, but she saw that he smiled at her kindly and said, “Doctor Lu is off work? I was going to meet someone in your dormitory, so we just happened to be going in the same way.”

Lu Anran didn’t say anything when he saw how he was behaving, but, out of precaution, she took her phone out of her bag and held it in her hand as she walked forward.

Cars were coming in and out of the parking lot from time to time, and she was trained in martial arts. Although she was wary, she wasn’t afraid.

However, she forgot that there was a utility room at the end of the aisle where medical garbage was piled up. It happened to be a blind spot for surveillance cameras, and she didn’t expect Director Huang to play dirty tricks.

By the time she reacted, Director Huang had already grabbed her hair from behind with one hand and covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief soaked in chloroform with one hand. He forcibly dragged her into the utility room.

She was unprepared and took a big whiff. After struggling a few times, she felt a little dizzy. She pressed out a random phone number in a panic. However, her phone dropped as soon as the call was connected. Director Huang pushed and shoved her into the utility room.

It was dark inside. A sense of fear that she hadn’t experienced for a long time overwhelmed her in an instant.

She was really scared, and she desperately tried to prevent herself from fainting by fighting him.

But she didn’t eat much all day and was suffocated with chloroform, so her hands and feet couldn’t exert much effort.

Director Huang pressed her against the wall, covered her mouth with one hand to prevent her from screaming, then pinched her neck with the other hand while cursing, “Little sl*t, you have quite a big temper! But I like how stuck up you are. If you listen to me, I will pay for your dad’s medical expenses.”

Upon seeing the man’s stinky mouth was about to kiss her, Lu Anran bit him, then bent her right leg and slammed it into his knee.

Director Huang instantly turned pale, and he knelt to the ground while his blood-stained hands immediately clutched his crotch.

At this time, the door of the utility room was suddenly slammed open.

She didn’t see who the person was and only felt that there was a flash in front of her. Then she heard Director Huang howling like a pig.

Lu Anran’s tense nerves loosened. She finally slid down the wall and slumped on the ground.

The cool breeze brought in fresh air. She didn’t inhale much chloroform, so she soon began to sober up and finally realized that it was Cheng Zhi who was beating Director Huang.

He usually appeared mild-mannered and gentle, but now he was extremely ruthless with his punches and kicks, as if he wanted to beat him to death.

Lu Anran sat on the ground for a while and saw that Cheng Zhi had no intention of stopping, so she got up and dragged him away.

Cheng Zhi took out his phone to call the police. Director Huang was in panic. He began to spew out lies by shouting that Lu Anran seduced him and asked him to hook up here.
