The senior is a doctor and has a unique way of persuading patients.
Xie Wanying was scared, scared she might surrender. Sugar-coated bullets are far more terrifying than the real ones.
Sensing her shrinking back, Cao Yong was even more cautious: "I promise you, I wonât do anything without your consent. So, will you let me take a look at your neck?"
Looking around, whether it was Senior Cao or Teacher Tan or Teacher Cui, none of them would let her off tonight. Itâs like thereâs no escape.
Accepting Senior Caoâs proposal seemed somewhat better. Xie Wanying pondered over it in her heart.
While she hesitated, Cao Yong gently pulled down the raised collar of her coat and saw the purplish bruises on her neck. Instantly, several faces changed. Although the marks werenât very obvious and the injuries were minor, it couldnât erase the fact that someone tried to strangle her.
"You." Cui Shaofeng stood up and took a glance at the collar situation, his tone full of exclamations, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
Naturally, the teacherâs sighs had a reason. Tan Kelinâs brows furrowed like a big iron clamp. This smart student was repeatedly fixated on that collar, which indicated trouble. Now seeing the real situation, had he known earlier, he wouldnât have assisted in contacting a doctor for that personâs sisterâs transfer. The disciples he trained were meant to save countless lives, not to be strangled by a scoundrel.
"Do you know what youâre doing?" Teacher Tan asked her word by word.
"Teacher Tan." Xie Wanying attempted to explain to the teacher, "About this matter, at that time heâ"
"I donât care how he was at that time. Tell me, were his actions meant to kill you?"
"I definitely wouldnât let him kill me."
"Why are you defending him? Knowing his actions were intended to kill you, why are you defending him?"
"Xie Wanying." Cui Shaofeng couldnât help but interject, "Sympathy should have its limits. Why sympathize with someone who wants to harm you? No wonder Teacher Tan was worried about you before and specifically asked me to keep an eye on you."
Teacher Tan entrusted Teacher Cui to pay extra attention to her, which meant Teacher Tan was always thinking of that previous phone call. This was indeed something she hadnât anticipated. It can only be said that the teacher is a boss, easily perceiving the unusual secret she harbored in her heart. From the teacherâs perspective as a doctor, he felt obligated to pursue the root of her secret, believing her mindset was not right.
Cui Shaofeng, speaking on behalf of Tan Kelin, pointed out her problem: "Your mindset is not normal. A normal person wouldnât defend someone who harmed them. Do you have a special relationship with him?"
Definitely not. To her, the Luo Family Siblings were merely patients and their family.
"If thereâs no special relationship, then tell me, did you see something in him? Has anything similar happened to you before?"
The boss-like teacher, when pursuing the cause of a problem, is quite formidable, even better than Sherlock Holmes at discerning insights.
Several teachers looked at her, waiting for her answer.
How could she reply, surely she couldnât just say that she had seen her grandpa die once before, right?
The few people around watched her respond in silence, their brows furrowing tighter.
Cui Shaofeng turned to look at Tan Kelin: Whatâs with your student? Why is it so hard for her to speak?
This student of his was famously stubborn. Sometimes she wouldnât speak no matter what, and sometimes when she wasnât supposed to, she insisted on voicing out. Though all the teachers knew that whether Xie spoke or not, she had her own reasons. Tan Kelin gathered his eyebrows in concentration, seemingly striving to devise a solution. As a teacher and a doctor, he needed to seriously assess the situation in front of him.
