The nurse gathered Xia Zhi and the others around the child’s body and said, “This is it.”
“I see,” Xia Zhi replied. Then, she bent down slightly and lifted her hand to gently open the girl’s eyes. After observing her for a moment, she moved to other parts of her facial features.
While Xia Zhi probed around, she asked the nurse, “This child died of a heart attack, right?”
The nurse’s face went white in shock. Tears appeared in her eyes. But then, she forced herself to say, “No, no, she died from eating bread. That’s right, they said she died from eating bread!”
The nurse kept saying the same thing over and over, as if she were obsessed.
Xia Zhi calmly watched her outburst. “I know medicine, so you can’t hide anything from me.”
Hearing this, the nurse stopped struggling and said in a low voice, “The girl’s name is Gao Lin. When she was alive, I was the one who took care of her. We slowly got to know each other. Gao Lin was very optimistic. She had high hopes that her heart condition could be treated and that she would have a long and healthy life. Her health seemed to be improving, or so she told herself.”
She continued with anger in her eyes, “That day, my family happened to have something to do, so I took a day off. When I got back, I didn’t think Gao Lin would no longer be with us. Later, the bread incident was exposed on the internet, and Gao Lin was portrayed as the main victim. But I knew it was impossible, because Gao Lin despises bread more than anything else!”
When Xia Zhi heard this, she asked calmly, “Do you know anything else?”
The nurse wiped her tears away and clenched her teeth. “I didn’t believe that Gao Lin would die because of this, so I went to check the surveillance cameras. Then, I saw Gao Lin’s parents enter the ward that day. When they came out again, Gao Lin was dead. I wanted to expose this matter, but Doctor Zhang insisted that she died because of bread. When I went to look for the surveillance camera again, I found that the surveillance footage had been deleted.”
Xia Zhi raised her head. She had already felt that there was something wrong with this hospital, and after hearing what the nurse said, she decided to pursue Doctor Zhang.
“Is it convenient for you to bring me to see Doctor Zhang?” Xia Zhi asked the nurse.
Before the nurse could express her agreement, however, another voice was heard.
“Nurse Li, don’t ruin the hospital’s good name by talking nonsense. No surveillance footage has ever been erased from our system. And the bread was the cause of Gao Lin’s demise!”
Xia Zhi turned to see a man in a doctor’s outfit enter the room from the direction the voice had come. After some consideration, she concluded that this must be Doctor Zhang.
Doctor Zhang did not enter alone, though; another man was following close behind. He was dressed as a police officer, and the crucial point was that they appeared to be identical twins.
Xia Zhi looked the other two in the eyes and said icily, “If there’s no problem, then why are you so agitated and came so quickly? You called the cops, too?”
Zhang Xi’s expression hardened in response to Xia Zhi’s question, but he quickly relaxed and said, “We just happened to be nearby. Furthermore, you illegally entered a medical facility.”
After Xia Zhi heard Zhang Xi’s words, she was now certain. He was so anxious that he had rushed over to her without even asking how she got in.
Xia Zhi thought of this and saw the police officer beside Zhang Xi. She felt that this was a good opportunity and made a decision in her heart. She gave Sun Chuan and Zhou Zheng the side eye as a signal for silence.
Then Xia Zhi said, “If I don’t leave, what will you do?”
Zhang Xi smiled after hearing that, then said with a cold face,”If you don’t leave, I’ll get my brother to arrest you!”
As Zhang Xi’s voice fell, Zhang Meng took a step forward. “Will you cooperate, or do I have to step in?”
Xia Zhi gave him a smile. “We’re leaving.”
