Chapter 23

Ye Qiu followed Bai Bing out of the intensive care unit and all the way to the director's office.

After entering, Bai Bing sat down in the office chair, her beautiful face covered in frost.

Seeing her like this, Ye Qiu felt uneasy and cautiously asked, "Director, did you need me for something?"

"Can't I call you if there's nothing?" Bai Bing's tone was unfriendly.

Ye Qiu steeled himself and smiled awkwardly, "Director, you're joking. You're my superior, you can call me whenever you want."

"I'm asking you, do you have feelings for Lin Jingzhi?" Bai Bing asked bluntly.

"No, Director, don't misunderstand..."

"Misunderstand? Do you mean my eyes are blind?" Bai Bing said angrily, "Don't think I didn't see it. She fed you a bun, and you looked so pleased."

"Director, it's not what you think, actually it's..."

"Shut up!" Bai Bing interrupted Ye Qiu, "I'm warning you, Lin Jingzhi is not a good woman. It's best to stay away from her, or you might not even know how you die."

Ye Qiu looked at Bai Bing in surprise, thinking to himself, Director Bai is so angry, could it be that she has a grudge against Lin Jingzhi?

"What are you looking at! Do you think I have a personal grudge against Lin Jingzhi? I can clearly tell you, I don't. I'm telling you to stay away from her for your own good."

Ye Qiu was even more surprised.

Although Bai Bing was nice to him before, she rarely spoke. They hardly exchanged a few words in a week, but today, Bai Bing seemed to be talking a lot!

Very abnormal.

Ye Qiu said, "Director Bai, I'm a nurse now, and Lin Sister is my patient. Taking care of her is my duty."

"Lin Sister? You actually call Lin Jingzhi 'Sister'?" Bai Bing said angrily, "How long have you known her? You don't even know her, and you dare to call her 'Sister'?"

"It's just a title, right?"

Ye Qiu was puzzled, completely unable to understand why Bai Bing was so angry.

Slap!

Bai Bing slapped the table hard and said angrily, "Ye Qiu, I'm warning you again, don't get close to Lin Jingzhi. I'm doing this for your own good."

"Director Bai, I know you're doing this for my good, but can you be a bit more specific? I can't just be left in the dark, can I?"

Bai Bing said, "Lin Jingzhi may look beautiful, but she has a heart like a scorpion. Do you know, her fiancé was poisoned to death by her."

What?

Ye Qiu's face was full of shock, finding it hard to believe.

"What, you don't even believe me?" Bai Bing's eyes were unfriendly.

Ye Qiu shook his head quickly, "Of course I believe you, but it's hard for me to believe that Lin Sister is that kind of person."

"You still call her 'Sister'?" Bai Bing said coldly, "Remember, in front of me, you're not allowed to call her 'Sister'."

"Okay." Ye Qiu nodded and asked, "Director Bai, what's really going on? Lin... Lin Jingzhi doesn't seem like a bad person, how could she kill someone?"

"Some people look normal, but who knows what they're really like behind closed doors. The incident where Lin Jingzhi poisoned her fiancé was a big scandal a few years ago, known throughout Jiang-Zhe. However, there was no substantial evidence at the time, otherwise she would have been in prison long ago."

"Because of this, Lin Jingzhi was kicked out of her family and came to Jiangzhou to start a business."

Bai Bing continued, "This woman is very cunning. As soon as she arrived in Jiangzhou, she infiltrated the upper circles of Jiangzhou. With her outstanding appearance and figure, she attracted many admirers, whether they were unmarried young men or married men, all revolved around her."

"In a short few years, she became very successful in Jiangzhou, her company successfully went public, and she was hailed as the first beauty CEO of Jiangzhou by financial magazines."

At this point, Bai Bing sneered, "Others don't know her background, but I know very well. She's just a socialite, what's there to praise?"

Ye Qiu asked curiously, "Director Bai, why do you know so much about Lin Jingzhi?"

"Because I and she are..." Bai Bing stopped halfway, then said, "Anyway, she's not a good person. Remember, stay away from her."

"Earlier in the ward, when I criticized you in front of her for not working hard, it was to prevent you from having any further contact with her."

Bai Bing's voice softened a bit, "I'll find a way to transfer you back from the nursing station. In short, stay as far away from Lin Jingzhi as possible."

So that's how it is.

Ye Qiu, who had some grievances with Bai Bing earlier, instantly felt no resentment after hearing her explanation.

"Director Bai, thank you," Ye Qiu said gratefully.

"You're welcome," Bai Bing continued, "In private, you can also call me 'Sister.'"

"Ah!" Ye Qiu stared at Bai Bing in a daze, thinking he had heard wrong.

"What 'ah'? I'm older than you, anyway." Bai Bing glanced at Ye Qiu and quickly looked away.

Ye Qiu keenly noticed a hint of shyness in Bai Bing's eyes.

Strange, why would Director Bai be shy for no reason?

"By the way, Guo Shaocong and Guo Dangnu didn't cause you any trouble, did they?" Bai Bing suddenly asked.

Ye Qiu shook his head, "No."

"Although they haven't caused you trouble for now, you still need to be careful. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry," Bai Bing reminded him.

"I will."

"I'll go to the nursing station and have you transferred back to the department... No, I'll go and talk to Lin Jingzhi myself to prevent any further issues."

Bai Bing acted decisively and brought Ye Qiu back to the intensive care unit.

When Lin Jingzhi saw Bai Bing and Ye Qiu enter, she smiled and said, "Director Bai, thank you for bringing Ye Qiu back to me."

"I'm here to tell you that from now on, Ye Qiu is no longer your nurse," Bai Bing said.

"What do you mean?" The smile on Lin Jingzhi's face disappeared.

Bai Bing continued, "From now on, Ye Qiu will be transferred back to the surgery department to continue as a probationary doctor. The nursing station will send you a new nurse."

"What do you mean, Bai Bing? Ye Qiu is my nurse, what right do you have to transfer him?" Lin Jingzhi was angry.

"Because I'm the director of the surgery department."

"If you abuse your power, I'll file a complaint against you."

"Go ahead."

"You—"

Lin Jingzhi was very angry, but the next second, she giggled, "I almost forgot, with your status, even if I file a complaint, no one in this hospital would dare to do anything to you."

"But I'm curious, why are you transferring Ye Qiu? Is it because you're jealous of him being with me?"

"Lin Jingzhi, don't talk nonsense," Bai Bing said sternly.

"If not, then why are you getting so angry?" Lin Jingzhi's smile grew wider, and she said in a well-meaning tone, "Bai Bing, I'm just saying, with your temper, you should find a man to take care of you, or you might end up with hormonal imbalance."

Lin Jingzhi winked at Ye Qiu and asked, "Ye Qiu, do you think I'm right?"

How could Ye Qiu dare to respond? He pretended not to hear.

"Hmph." Bai Bing snorted heavily, "Ye Qiu, let's go."

"Stop!" Lin Jingzhi suddenly turned hostile, "Ye Qiu is my nurse. Without my permission, no one is allowed to transfer him."

"I'm his superior, I have the right to transfer him," Bai Bing said.

"I signed an employment contract with Ye Qiu, it's clearly written in black and white. Bai Bing, are you trying to make Ye Qiu breach the contract?"

"Let him breach the contract. I'll cover all the compensation for Ye Qiu."

"Bai Bing, are you deliberately trying to be my enemy?"

Lin Jingzhi's face was very unpleasant, and she exuded a powerful aura, making her seem like a queen even though she was sitting on the bed.

"So what if I am!"

Bai Bing was not to be outdone, and she also exuded a unique aura, cold and elegant, like a goddess high above.

They looked at each other, their eyes icy, and the temperature in the ward dropped to sub-zero in an instant.

Ye Qiu was stunned.

He didn't expect this to happen and wanted to mediate, but didn't know how to start.

At this moment—

Ding ding ding.

Ye Qiu's phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who is this?" Ye Qiu asked politely.

"Are you Ye Qiu?" A hoarse voice came from the other end.

"Yes, who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am. I just want to tell you that Qian Jinglan is in my hands. If you don't want her to die, come to the abandoned building on Zhongbei Road immediately."

"You're dead!" Ye Qiu said only this much and then rushed out of the ward.
