Escaping With Money

Ye Zhiqing had just finished reading when she heard the doorbell ring.

"Respected customer, your order has arrived."

Ye Zhiqing let them in. The waiter in a suit placed the lunch on the table and bowed before leaving.

There were three dishes and a soup on the table. They were all her favorite dishes. She didn't expect him to remember her preferences after just two meals.

However, Zhou Wenting, who had been with her for eight years, didn't know that. She shook her head and shook this thought out of her mind. She picked up the chopsticks on the table and started eating. She was indeed hungry.

As for where Gu Mingcheng went, she didn't need to guess at all. She had already transferred the one million yuan to him yesterday. He must have gone to buy a house.

After eating and resting for a while, she sighed and started to think about what to do next. She didn't want to go to the hospital anymore. The hospital was no longer the place she wanted to stay for her entire life. When did she start to change?

The doctors in the hospital became snobbish and scheming. The doctors stopped thinking about how to improve their medical skills and how to treat more patients better. She placed her arm over her eyes and covered her slightly red eyes. Suddenly, she remembered what her teacher said, "It's not just medical skills that can save people."

At that time, she didn't understand the words or the teacher's laments. Now… she seemed to understand. However, this clarity was not what she wanted.

Time passed minute by minute. At night, Gu Mingcheng still hadn't returned. Ye Zhiqing looked at the time. It was already midnight. When she wanted to call Gu Mingcheng, she realized that she didn't have his contact number. She then realized that she had only known this man for three days.

Unable to do anything, she could only wait in the hotel. Initially, she thought that the man had gotten the money and left. However, as the night progressed, she could not help but worry again. Could he have met with some danger?

Ye Zhiqing walked back and forth restlessly in the hotel. She couldn't help but imagine the scene of the man falling to the ground after being hit by a car. She shook her head. No, this wouldn't happen.

The next second, she thought of kidnapping again…

Her expression turned anxious. She told herself that this wouldn't happen, but at the same time, she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild. Just as she was thinking if she should go nearby to take a look, there was a knock on the door.

This voice startled her. She keenly felt that there was something wrong with the knock on the door. It sounded like someone had knocked on the door from the bottom. A normal person would probably knock on the middle of the door.

She pursed her lips and walked towards the door nervously. She did not forget to pick up a vase and held it in her hand. She held her breath as she walked to the door and placed her hand on the armrest. She pressed her ear against the door. It was silent outside.

She took a deep breath and carefully opened the door. There was no one outside.

Was it a prank?

She frowned and took a step outside. She almost screamed when she saw something soft under her feet. She looked down and was shocked.

"Gu Chen?"

Gu Chen's condition was not good. There was an obvious wound on his waist and blood was flowing out continuously, staining his shirt red. His white shirt was stained with large amounts of blood and he was lying unconscious on the ground. The knocking sound was probably the sound of his head hitting the door when he fainted.

Ye Zhiqing was a little panicked. This was the first time she had doubts about his identity. However, under the current circumstances, she could only grit her teeth and drag him into the room. Otherwise, she would be implicated if someone found out.

On this side, Ye Zhiqing had just barely dragged him into the room when Cao Ling, who had lured the pursuers away, also arrived. Coincidentally, he saw this scene. In order to not let Ye Zhiqing notice, he hurriedly hid on the other side.

He knew how serious Gu Mingcheng's injuries were. The people in the capital were much more powerful than they had imagined. Now, he couldn't bring Gu Mingcheng to the hospital. Otherwise, what awaited them would be death. He recalled the information he had previously gathered. Ye Zhiqing was the best surgeon in the Ting Family Hospital. This helped him make a decision.

Cao Ling glanced at the tightly shut door before gritting his teeth and leaving.

The doorbell rang again. Ye Zhiqing had just moved Gu Mingcheng onto the bed and was now sitting on the floor to rest. This man was really too heavy.
