The man paused for a moment, then, upon seeing the blood, seemed to be provoked and stabbed again with the knife.
The nurse, who was being held hostage, was so frightened that her legs went weak. However, she was quite perceptive and took advantage of the man's distraction to escape his control.
Before the man could stab Dr. Zhuo a second time, Li Mu had already run up to him, kicked the knife out of his hand, and swiftly pinned him to the ground, handcuffing him.
Seeing Dr. Zhuo lying in a pool of blood beneath him, Li Mu hurriedly shouted, "Doctor, doctor... save him quickly!"
The doctors and nurses who were watching also realized what was happening and rushed over to help.
On the other side, Cheng Hao received a police report, put away his phone, and hurriedly said, "There's been a medical dispute at the Second Hospital. A patient stabbed a doctor."
Xia Jie strode after her: "Master, I'm going too."
Cheng Hao habitually said, "This time it's a bit dangerous, you..." He immediately realized something before he could finish, "Okay, let's go." Xia Jie was encouraged, "Thank you, Master!"
Chen Xincheng also stood up: "Let's go, Dawei, let's go together."
Hearing the commotion outside, Wang Shouyi went up to the second-floor platform and asked Cheng Hao, "What happened? Why are so many people involved?"
Cheng Hao said, "A patient at the Second Hospital stabbed a doctor."
"Second Hospital... Oh. Be careful." Wang Shouyi gave a few words of advice, and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "Wait, which Second Hospital?"
Cheng Hao said, "The Second Hospital in our jurisdiction."
"Get me a car ready quickly." Wang Shouyi thought of the kind-hearted Dr. Zhuo and suddenly had a bad feeling. He hurriedly ran downstairs.
Unable to get a police car, Wang Shouyi looked tense the whole way, repeatedly dialing Dr. Zhuo's number, but only getting a cold busy tone: "Answer the phone, answer it!"
When the group arrived, Wang Shouyi looked at Li Mu and said, "Chief Li, you're here too. Where are the people... the injured doctor... the suspect!"
Li Mu pointed to the suspect being guarded by several security guards and said, "Where is the suspect? I've already apprehended him. Also, Dr. Zhuo was stabbed and has been sent to the emergency room."
Wang Shouyi's face turned pale, and he ran towards the emergency room.
……
After instructing Chen Xincheng and the others to take the suspect away, Li Mu suddenly noticed that Xia Jie's expression was not good.
She stared blankly at the large pool of blood on the ground, and took several steps back in fright.
This scene left Xia Jie in a daze, with jumbled images flashing through her mind: Xia Junxiong lying in the morgue, the whole scene in black and white, except for the white sheet covering Xia Zhenxiong, which was quickly stained red with blood...
Xia Jie almost lost her balance for a moment. Seeing this, Li Mu quickly reached out to support her: "Xia Jie, what's wrong?"
Xia Jie then came to her senses: "No, it's nothing! I'm just not feeling well."
Li Mu said, "Then you should rest today. I'll take you home."
Xia Jie hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay! Thank you for your help."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite with me!"
……
Because of what happened during the day, Xia Jie didn't get a good night's rest, and she was still feeling groggy when she went to work the next day.
Just before she was about to leave work, a police officer rushed over and whispered a few words to her. Xia Jie was startled and hurried to the police reception area.
Sure enough, Xia Jie saw her mother sitting there and quickly went up to her: "Mom, what brings you here?"
Xia's mother said, "You're still asking me? I was worried about you, and I didn't sleep well all night."
Xia Jie said helplessly, "Mom, what do I have to worry about? Didn't we already agree? I'll go back today."
Xia's mother asked, "Then what exactly happened yesterday?"
Xia Jie looked around and said, "Mom, let's go outside to talk." She forcefully pulled her mother out of the police reception hall.
Meanwhile, Gao Chao rushed into the director's office with a document in hand, only to find Cheng Hao and Ye Wei inside. He was taken aback: "Where's the director?"
Ye Wei smiled wryly and said, "I was just looking for you, but the director has taken leave."
Gao Chao asked, "What about Director Li?"
Ye Wei said, "I went to a meeting at the bureau."
Before Gao Chao could say anything more, a policeman rushed in, panting: "Something terrible has happened! Xia Jie and her mother are fighting!"
Ye Wei, Cheng Hao, and Gao Chao were all taken aback: "What?!"
The police officer realized that his words might cause a misunderstanding: "It wasn't a real fight, it's just that Xia Jie's mother wanted to come to the station, but Xia Jie wouldn't let her."
Cheng Hao panicked: "Where is it?"
The policeman said, "It's right outside the gate."
Cheng Hao stamped his foot: "Oh no!"
Ye Wei hurriedly said, "Go and take a look!"
The group quickly ran downstairs.
……
Xia Jie stopped her mother, who was trying to rush in, outside the police station, almost pleading, "Mom, you can't do this! This isn't our home, and the police station isn't just for us. You can't just make whatever demands you want."
Xia's mother said angrily, "Don't stop me. I won't make any demands. I just want to ask Wang Shouyi why he won't answer my calls. He promised me that he would take good care of you and not let you participate in dangerous missions, but what did he do? How can I live if something happens to you again?"
Xia Jie was both anxious and embarrassed, her face flushed red as she said, "Mom, please stop talking, okay? This is the police station... please don't embarrass me anymore..."
Just then, Ye Wei, Cheng Hao, and Gao Chao rushed out, and everyone quickly made way for them.
Suddenly, Ye Wei seemed to be possessed by Wang Shouyi, and ran up to grab Xia's mother's hand: "Oh, my old sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Xia's mother said angrily, "Don't try to fool me. I don't know anyone. Just look for Wang Shouyi."
Ye Wei greeted him with a smile: "What a pity, the director is on leave. Why don't we go in and sit down to talk slowly?"
Xia's mother said, "Where has Cheng Hao gone hiding?"
Cheng Hao quickly stepped forward and said, "Teacher's wife, I didn't hide. According to the order, the director asked for leave, and the instructor is in charge of the affairs of the institute."
Xia's mother said, "I don't care. What did Wang Shouyi and you promise me back then?"
Gao Chao couldn't stand it anymore: "Sister-in-law, this is Deputy Director Gao Chao. The director really took leave today, and we can't get in touch with him. What's your request? Let's talk inside."
Upon seeing the unfamiliar face, Xia's mother became somewhat more reserved.
Ye Wei seized the opportunity to step forward: "Let's go, sister-in-law, let's talk inside."
Xia's mother followed her inside. Xia Jie had no choice but to follow.
Cheng Hao glanced at Xia Jie and said to Chen Xincheng beside him, "Xincheng, you're going on a police call, right? Let Xia Jie come with you."
Chen Xincheng understood: "Okay."
Li Dawei tugged at Xia Jie: "Let's go."
Xia Jie glanced at her mother, then was pulled away by Li Dawei.
As Ye Wei, Cheng Hao, and Gao Chao accompanied Xia's mother into the hall, Xia's mother suddenly burst into tears, startling them all.
Ye Wei quickly hugged Xia's mother: "Sister-in-law, don't cry, come to my office."
In his haste, Gao Chao pointed to the mediation room, asking Ye Wei to lead him inside, and then followed her in. Cheng Hao quickly fetched some water and carried the cup inside.
In the mediation room, Xia's mother cried, "What does Wang Shouyi mean? My husband Xia has already sacrificed himself, and now Xia Jie has to sacrifice herself too? If Xia Jie is gone, how am I supposed to live?"
Did no one understand what she was saying?
Cheng Hao forced a smile and said, "Teacher's wife, I don't understand what you mean. We'll correct any mistakes we made, but no one wanted Xia Jie to sacrifice herself!"
Xia's mother cried and said, "You still want to lie to me! I heard there's a crazy person at the hospital who stabbed a doctor. You're sending Xia Jie to such a dangerous place."
Cheng Haoxian understood: "Teacher's wife, this is my fault. Don't worry, Xia Jie has us protecting her, nothing will happen to her. Actually, I've been neglecting Xia Jie lately, not being overprotective of her."
Xia's mother objected: "What do you mean by overprotective? Don't you know that after what happened to her father, Xiaojie faints at the sight of blood? She didn't recover for half a day after coming home yesterday."
Cheng Hao quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Madam, it was my oversight, I neglected to consider it..."
Xia's mother's tone remained sharp: "Is 'sorry' all it takes? If something really happened, would I even be able to survive?"
These words were a bit harsh, and Cheng Hao was stunned.
Ye Wei smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you're too kind. The station knows that Chief Cheng is very protective of Xia Jie. Xia Jie has argued with Chief Cheng several times because of this. Xia Jie is also a good person; she always takes the lead in everything at the station."
Xia's mother snapped again: "Let her be at the forefront? What were you thinking?"
Ye Wei hurriedly said helplessly, "No, sister-in-law is overthinking it..."
Gao Chao chimed in, "Yes, it's not that bad."
Xia's mother said, "I want to know more! Where is Wang Shouyi? Tell him to come out and explain himself!"
Gao Chao couldn't stand it anymore, so he slammed his hand on the table, startling everyone, including himself.
Ye Wei kept winking at him: "What are you doing, Gao Chao!"
Gao Chao also realized something was wrong: "No... I won't do anything."
Xia's mother looked around, took in where she was, and suddenly realized something: "What do you mean by bringing me to the mediation room?"
Ye Wei gave an awkward smile: "Sister-in-law, it was nothing, I just happened to be there."
Xia's mother questioned, "Are you treating me as a suspect, or as a troublesome, disruptive family member?"
Gao Chao said, "You're overthinking it, sister-in-law. We don't bring suspects here."
