Sent to the countryside, I turned the health center into a top-tier hospital.

"May I ask, how many years will this mother and child ultimately be sentenced to?"

Chen Ping asked.

"This..." The police officer surnamed Liu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm not really sure either."

"However, the maximum sentence should not exceed ten years, since he is not a human trafficker, but someone who was bought."

"As for the old lady, she will probably get a shorter sentence, or even no prison sentence at all."

After listening to the police officer's words, Chen Ping felt a little down and nodded, "I understand."

As I walked out of the police station, the evening breeze caressed my face. Although I had just vented my anger, ten years seemed far too short when facing a girl whose life had been ruined.

Chen Ping now hopes that he can catch the human trafficker and execute him by slow slicing.

How hateful...

After returning from the police station, Chen Ping felt much better.

Just thinking about Lin Wan's scarred body and years of imprisonment still weighed heavily on my heart, filling me with mixed emotions.

The health center cafeteria had already opened for dinner, but no one touched their chopsticks; everyone was waiting for Chen Ping.

When Chen Ping returned, everyone began to eat. No one discussed the daytime arrest incident anymore, but the atmosphere was much more somber than usual.

No one expected that such dark and sinful things were hidden in the peaceful and tranquil Siping Township.

After dinner, Zhao Guosheng didn't let everyone leave. Instead, he cleared his throat and said, "Someone needs to be on night duty tonight. The pregnant woman's condition is unstable, so someone needs to stay with her."

"Dean, I'll take the shift tonight..." Zhou Jie volunteered.

In the entire health center, she was one of only two nurses, working alongside Sun Xiaoyan. If she wasn't on night shift, then Sun Xiaoyan would have to be on night shift.

Sun Xiaoyan had just undergone an induced abortion some time ago. Although she had almost recovered, Zhou Jie was still worried, so she volunteered to help.

"Okay, Zhou Jie will be on duty tonight."

Zhao Guosheng nodded, then looked at Liu Wei and Wang Jianguo, "Dr. Liu and Dr. Wang, one of you will have to stay tonight. Zhou Jie is only a nurse and can't handle any emergencies."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping casually remarked, "No need to trouble Dr. Liu and Dr. Wang. I'll just stay in the dormitory. If there's any emergency or a patient feels unwell at night, just call me."

Chen Ping was understanding of Liu Wei and Wang Jianguo, as Wang Jianguo was older and staying up all night would be bad for his health.

Liu Wei has a wife and children at home, and there are many things at home that he needs to take care of.

They were all colleagues and had a good relationship, so Chen Ping tried his best to be understanding.

Moreover, he lives in the health center and is available whenever needed, so he can completely cover all expenses.

To everyone's surprise, Zhao Guosheng shook his head, his attitude resolute, and he did not budge.

"Chen Ping, I know you are kind-hearted, technically skilled, and willing to take responsibility. But for the health center to operate in the long term, rules must be established."

"After the treatment center is built, the number of inpatients will only increase, and the number of emergency and night clinics will gradually increase. You can't handle everything by yourself."

"Everyone depends on you. If we don't work out, our department won't be able to function properly. We need to get the scheduling system right now so that things won't go wrong later."

Zhao Guosheng had a long-term vision. He didn't just want to schedule a night shift; he wanted to take the opportunity to thoroughly standardize the night duty system in the hospital and eliminate a lazy and dependent atmosphere.

Previously, the health center did not have night shifts at all, and these elderly people at the health center had never worked a night shift.

But things are different now. The treatment center is almost finished, and there will be more and more patients and hospitalizations, so we need to hurry up now.

Chen Ping found Zhao Guosheng's words reasonable, so he stopped arguing and nodded in agreement with the arrangement.

As everyone was talking, Wang Tao immediately stood up and volunteered, "Dean Zhao, I'll take the night shift tonight."

Upon hearing this, everyone present subconsciously glanced at him, their eyes filled with knowing smiles.

Wang Tao is still in his internship period. According to the rules, he should not be forced to work night shifts and can rest normally.

But everyone knew perfectly well that he wanted to use the night shift as an excuse to spend more time with Zhou Jie.

The little thoughts of young people are so easily seen through, so clean and straightforward.

"No, you're still in your internship and can't work shifts independently!"

Zhao Guosheng also saw through Wang Tao's thoughts and deliberately put on a stern face.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tao became somewhat anxious: "Dean, I have been learning from my master for so long, and I have no problem with daily patient consultations, changing dressings, observing vital signs, and handling minor and acute illnesses. I can already treat patients independently."

"Tonight's situation is special. Sister Lin Wan is in critical condition after childbirth. I'm taking her pulse now, and I dare say I'm better than Viagra and Dr. Wang. You can ask them if you don't believe me."

After speaking, Wang Tao looked at Liu Wei and Wang Jianguo, and winked at them.

"Dean, Wang Tao is right. His pulse diagnosis skills are much better than ours, aren't they, Dr. Wang?" Liu Wei said.

"Yes, yes, Wang Tao may be young, but he's better than me, a doctor who's been treating patients for over thirty years. If I were a few years younger, I would have become Wang Tao's apprentice."

Wang Jianguo, all smiles, teased Wang Tao relentlessly.

Wang Tao's face flushed red instantly. He had been in a hurry to express his opinion, which was why he said that he was better than Liu Wei and Wang Jianguo.

Now that the two of them were teasing him, Wang Tao felt a little embarrassed.

To be honest, both of them are experienced doctors, and my words lacked emotional intelligence.

"Alright, let Wang Tao be on duty tonight!" Chen Ping said, trying to smooth things over when he saw Wang Tao's awkward expression.

"Okay, then Zhou Jie and Wang Tao will be on duty." Zhao Guosheng nodded. Since Chen Ping had spoken, Zhao Guosheng couldn't possibly object.

"Wang Tao, but I must remind you, you can sleep during the night shift. We'll only need you if there's a problem."

"Don't keep me up all night, or I won't have the energy to help you tomorrow," Chen Ping instructed Wang Tao.

"Don't worry, Master, I know what I'm doing."

After Wang Tao finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Zhou Jie.

Zhou Jie pursed her lips and lowered her head, refusing to look at Wang Tao.

Everyone secretly chuckled at the sight of the two men's expressions.

"Director, if needed, I can also work the night shift. I can just lay a blanket on the pharmacy floor."

Liu Mei spoke up.

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to be on duty. There's a pharmacy at night. Anyone who needs medicine can just go and get it themselves. Our health center isn't that well-regulated yet."

"Once the treatment center is completed, we will all move into the building to work, and then the pharmacy will be more standardized."

Chen Ping followed up with Liu Mei's words.

"Okay, just let me know whenever you need me to be on duty," Liu Mei nodded.

"Alright, everyone, go home!"

After making the arrangements, Zhao Guosheng waved his hand, and everyone dispersed.

Before leaving, Liu Wei and Wang Jianguo patted Wang Tao on the shoulder and jokingly told him that he was young, promising, hardworking and diligent.

Moreover, the two of them emphasized the word "willing to work" so much that Wang Tao blushed a little.
