Chapter 982: Chapter 389: Lawless—Dr. Xu’s Atonement
Now that the dust has settled, she must have arranged everything in the department pretty well.
After work, the first thing she did was thank Zhou Can.
She successfully became the department head. Congratulations from colleagues, well-informed classmates, and relatives and friends were sure to be plentiful. In this situation, her sending a message to Zhou Can right after finishing work shows the importance of Zhou Can in her mind.
"No need to be polite, Sister Yan! If there’s anything you need, just call me anytime."
Zhou Can replied to her with a message.
He skipped the usual congratulatory nonsense.
The closer the relationship, the more casual the conversation.
"OK!"
She only replied with an emoji. She must be particularly busy at the moment.
Zhou Can started the car, preparing to go home. Now that Su Qianqian’s work isn’t as busy, she looks forward to him coming home early every day to be with her.
He hasn’t needed to work in Cardiothoracic Surgery for the past two days, and the Emergency Department is letting him leave on time, with no night shifts scheduled for him for now. It’s rare for him to have a few early shifts.
Zhou Can’s car slowly drove out of the garage, then joined the queue to exit through the back door.
It was peak hours after work, so there were a lot of cars.
As a result, the progress was slow.
When his car left the hospital’s back entrance, his gaze tightened slightly. He noticed two people tugging at each other not far away, and one of them was none other than his surgical nurse, Qiao Yu.
"Turns out she’s already got a boyfriend and kept it quite secret!"
Zhou Can had never heard about her having a boyfriend.
But this kind of thing is personal privacy, and he certainly wouldn’t intentionally pry into it.
The young man pulling her was quite tall, with hair dyed bright colors and a non-mainstream style. He drove a flashy bright red convertible sports car.
The guy was forcefully trying to pull her into the car, and Qiao Yu seemed to be desperately struggling.
This situation seemed a bit off.
Zhou Can quickly stopped the car, ignoring the drivers behind him honking frantically, and ran over directly.
"Hey there, buddy, don’t be rough with the girl."
Zhou Can spoke fairly politely.
It’s quite normal for young couples to argue and have conflicts.
Looking at the situation, it probably was just a quarrel between them. The guy seemed trying to cheer the girl up.
"Who the hell are you? Get lost, this is a private matter between my girlfriend and me, none of your business." The guy was quite tough.
No matter what, his arrogant tone made Zhou Can look down on him a bit.
"He’s not my boyfriend, Dr. Zhou, help me!"
Qiao Yu shouted anxiously.
She seized the opportunity and stomped hard on the man’s foot.
"Ouch..."
The man jumped in pain, and eventually let go of her.
"Qiao Yu, you bitch, dare to step on me... hiss!"
The man was sucking in cold air, enduring the pain, and once more charged toward Qiao Yu. By now, many people had gathered to watch the commotion, but none stepped forward to stop it.
Qiao Yu hid behind Zhou Can in fear.
"Get out of my way, or I’ll beat you up too!" The guy threatened Zhou Can fiercely.
Zhou Can simply ignored him.
"Damn it, asking for a beating!"
The man surprisingly swung a slap towards Zhou Can.
The fact that he dared to act up in front of Zhou Can was like jumping high in a toilet - looking for crap.
Zhou Can swiftly reached out and grabbed the guy’s wrist, then with his right hand, slapped the guy’s face left and right, delivering four consecutive hard smacks.
"Watch your mouth, or people might think you’re uncultured."
After hitting him, Zhou Can let go of his hand with a flick. The guy stumbled and fell to the side.
Zhou Can turned to look at Qiao Yu, who was trembling behind him, "What’s going on? He knows your name, which means he must be someone you know."
"This guy is a creep, a lunatic. Over two months ago, he came to the emergency room for treatment, and I happened to be on night shift. I gave him an injection and changed his medicine, then he started harassing me..."
Qiao Yu looked extremely frightened, her body shaking severely.
Sometimes, a nurse being pursued by a patient can lead to a romantic story ending in marriage. But it can also be a source of fear for the nurse.
Like this young man who just got beaten.
"Don’t you usually leave through the front door after work? Why did you exit through the hospital’s back door today?"
Zhou Can was still puzzled.
"After I became a full nurse, I applied to stay in the dormitory on the hospital premises. It’s the same building where you used to live." She seemed slightly embarrassed when mentioning this.
Given Zhou Can’s intelligence, he naturally understood her intentions.
"Alright, I get it. So, you never dated this guy, and just now, he tried to forcefully drag you into the car, right?"
Zhou Can asked her.
"Yes! That’s right. This guy is a creep, a madman..." She usually rarely curses, but she was terribly frightened, which made her particularly angry.
"I’ll help you call the police and let them deal with this scumbag!"
As Zhou Can spoke, he directly took out his phone and dialed 110.
At this moment, the hospital security guards also walked over.
"Is that Mercedes-Benz yours? Could you please move it? You’re blocking the cars behind!" The security guard said to Zhou Can.
Before Zhou Can could respond, the surrounding crowd began to shout in alarm.
"Run!"
"Run quickly!"
At the reminder from the onlookers, Zhou Can quickly looked over and saw the young man, who’d just taken four slaps to the face, retrieving a 30-40 centimeters-long watermelon knife from his sports car and rushing over.
"I’m gonna kill you today!"
The young man seemed completely lawless, daring to forcefully drag a girl into the car and now, even brandishing a watermelon knife, intended to hack Zhou Can down.
