Chapter 600: Chapter 600 Qiao Yin’s Test
Today was another day for Gu Guotai to receive treatment.
As always, the person accompanying him was his second son, Gu Chengsong.
This time, Qiao Yin actively struck up a conversation with Gu Guotai, occasionally bringing up her mother in the conversation intentionally.
Gu Guotai did not avoid any questions about her mother, and he even took the initiative to ask her, “Doctor Qiao, if it’s not too much trouble, could you tell me how your mother passed away? I remember her being very healthy, and she was also a doctor, it couldn’t have been due to illness, could it?”
Qiao Yin looked up at him, then glanced casually at Gu Chengsong without changing her expression, only to find that he was also waiting curiously for her answer. Apart from that, neither of them had any different expressions.
She answered in a low voice, “My mom was killed by a patient with a knife during treatment.”
“What?!”
Gu Guotai was shocked, “Killed by a patient? Who? Why did he kill your mother?”
Gu Chengsong was also shocked, “How could this happen? I remember your mother had a good temperament and was a good doctor, why would a patient want to kill her?”
Qiao Yin shook her head, her eyes filled with sorrow, “I don’t know why, he suddenly took out a knife to attack her, I was there at the time, the murderer also tried to kill me, my mom held him down tightly, I managed to escape by chance, but she…”
She couldn’t continue, although she did intentionally probe these two people, the scene of that year was like an unshakeable nightmare. Whenever she brought it up, it was extremely painful.
Gu Guotai frowned, “Your mom didn’t offend anyone, did she? Did the murderer know your mom?”
Qiao Yin shook her head, “No.”
Gu Chengsong interjected, “Dad, knowing Shen Tang’s personality, who could she offend? I’ve never seen anyone with a better temperament or kinder heart, if the murderer could kill her, he’s nothing short of a beast!”
Gu Guotai thought for a moment and agreed with him, “Doctor Shen really doesn’t seem like someone who could offend others. It’s a pity, she was so dedicated to her medical career, yet she was killed by a patient. Even doctors aren’t safe, the murderer has lost all humanity.”
Hospital Director Song, who was sitting at the side, wore a pained expression on his face. He had no idea that Qiao Yin had such a painfully dark childhood.
That she could still be working as a doctor now, still wanting to treat and save patients, it was very commendable.
He wanted to give Qiao Yin a comforting pat on her shoulder, but when he raised his hand, he thought it wasn’t appropriate since she was a young woman.
So he put his hand back down.
“I also don’t think my mom would offend anyone, it should be a crime of passion, the police also said that the murderer was mentally unstable.”
Of course, Qiao Yin wouldn’t tell them the truth, if it was really the Gu Family who had hired the murderer, telling the truth would spook them, Hong Changgong’s life wouldn’t be guaranteed then.
However, she had done quite a bit of probing today, she felt from their demeanour and tone that her mother’s death probably didn’t have anything to do with these two people.
If it had nothing to do with them, then it very likely had something to do with the first branch of the Gu Family.
And Gu Jing, was the child of the first branch.
As Qiao Yin was thinking, the door to the Director’s office was pushed open.
She looked back and saw the person on her mind, Gu Jing.
Gu Jing’s eyes lit up when he saw her, he pretended to be displeased and said, “Grandpa, didn’t we agree that I’ll accompany you to the hospital from now on? Why did you stand me up?”
Gu Guotai glared at him, “I don’t need your company!”
Gu Jing wasn’t bothered by his grandfather’s attitude, he complained to Gu Chengsong, “Uncle Chengsong, you’re to blame too. You brought grandpa to the hospital without telling me, you can’t be the only one to show filial piety. I want to fulfill my duty as a son for my dad too!”
Gu Chengsong laughed, “If you want to show your filial piety, then I’ll call you next time. Dad, since Jing has matured and understood his responsibilities, why not give him a chance to accompany you?”
