Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law
Chapter 1396: Alone in an Empty Room?
To Murong Qian, hearing the words of Jiang Feng wasn't entirely unbelievable.
After all, she had witnessed "Dragons" on Tiandang Mountain before!
Having seen Dragons, being told that there are Walking Corpses in the world didn't seem too exaggerated.
She was just caught off guard, that's all.
At this moment, Xu Weiguo, Mu Jianmin, and Situ Yan also walked over.
Xu Weiguo and Mu Jianmin naturally had smiles on their faces, but Situ Yan's eyes kept intentionally or unintentionally fixed on Murong Qian's stunning face, with a hint of jealousy and rivalry.
"Director Murong, tonight you'll undoubtedly have a lot of work too. There are many injured, and they need to be transferred to various hospitals in the city. Your Central Hospital is the main treatment ground as the leading hospital; it's a lot of work, and I appreciate your efforts," Mu Jianmin said to Murong Qian with a smile.
"It's my duty. The two of you have worked hard too, personally leading the team at this late hour," Murong Qian responded politely with a smile.
"Well, this situation is unfortunate, so let's work together to resolve it properly," Mu Jianmin said with a wry smile and a shake of his head.
"All right, we can catch up later. For now, let's each handle our responsibilities."
Xu Weiguo was still worried about complications and said to Murong Qian, "Director Murong, please inform the rescue team to load the injured onto ambulances. I'll dispatch related action officers to accompany them, and once they're treated, we still need to pursue responsibilities."
"Alright." Murong Qian nodded.
She had been graciously speaking with both officers all along, without engaging with Situ Yan's jealous gaze.
This only made Situ Yan feel more uncomfortable, as if Murong Qian's arrival overshadowed her.
"Jiang Feng, don't leave later. Come back to the department to give a statement!" Situ Yan turned to glare at Jiang Feng. ๐ณ๐ซ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฏ๐๐จ๐๐๐น.๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ
"What statement?"
Jiang Feng frowned, "You experienced everything tonight; you know better than I do. Do I need to explain?"
"You!"
Situ Yan was furious. This guy was so obtuse; he knew she didn't actually mean it, but he still wouldn't cooperate?
Faced with Situ Yan's irritation and grievance, Murong Qian merely smiled calmly, graciously and serenely.
She and Jiang Feng had been through a lot together, making Situ Yan seem like just an immature girl by comparison.
"Humph! Then make sure you come to my house when you have time. Stop leaving me alone at night!"
Situ Yan snorted and threw an astonishing remark before turning away angrily without looking back.
Upon hearing this, both Xu Weiguo and Mu Jianmin were stunned!
They were experienced; how could they not understand what Situ Yan meant?
Who would have thought she and Jiang Feng had progressed to this extent...
"Ahem, Mr. Jiang, we'll be keeping busy now. Let's chat when we have time." Both men, skilled at handling things, pretended not to have heard and said with a dry smile.
"Mm."
Seeing both of them leaving, the scene was left only with Jiang Feng and Murong Qian, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere.
"Perhaps you could go accompany her. There's nothing much here; she looked so pitiful," Murong Qian teased Jiang Feng with playful eyes.
"Don't listen to her nonsense."
Jiang Feng quickly explained, feeling guilty, "I only took her home a few times. She works late; it's not safe aloneโ"
"Oh, so as a female action officer, she's afraid of the dark or bad guys? I also work late sometimes; why doesn't anyone take me home?" Murong Qian maintained a straight face, feigning seriousness more convincingly than Jiang Feng.
"... Sister Qian, please stop teasing me."
Jiang Feng laughed bitterly. If there was anyone he couldn't handle, it was probably Murong Qian.
With her around, there was no need for three women to create a drama; she alone could have Jiang Feng completely at a loss.
"I'll just go with you to the hospital later. You save people, and I won't disturb you, but I'll be outside waiting until you finish your shift. This way, if something unexpected happens, you can call me immediately."
The truth was, compared to Situ Yan, he was indeed more concerned about Murong Qian.
Sending Murong Qian to deal with injuries that involved Walking Corpses was risky, and he didn't want anything to happen to her.
"At least you still have some conscience!"
Murong Qian rolled her eyes at Jiang Feng and then walked forward with a hum, leading the Central Hospital's medical staff to start treating the injured.
Jiang Feng shook his head and followed her.
...
Next, in the chaotic hall of the Zunxiang Club, the action department and medical staff busied themselves.
The action department quickly transported the Walking Corpses away, while the medical staff urgently treated the injured.
Some with minor injuries were treated on the spot, but the seriously injured had to be taken to the hospital.
Thus, Jiang Feng accompanied Murong Qian, after quickly bandaging several people, and then they took an ambulance to transport the severely injured back.
Upon returning to the Central Hospital, the severely injured were all sent to the emergency room.
All that the doctors could do was clean, disinfect, and bandage the wounds.
Fortunately, they were only recently bitten, so the Corpse Poison wasn't deeply infected. Otherwise, simple medical methods wouldn't have sufficed.
Unknowingly, Murong Qian had been busy at the hospital until very late. Jiang Feng figured he wouldn't be able to leave tonight, so he helplessly called Nangong Qingcheng, telling them not to wait up for him.
In this way, nightfall came, and Jiang Feng, growing weary, leaned on a bench outside the hospital, nearly dozing off.
At this moment, a familiar fragrance returned to his side, and a gentle hand waved lightly in front of him: "Hey, why are you sleeping here? I would've given you my car keys if I'd known; you could rest in the car!"
Murong Qian's voice was always so gentle and melodious. Seeing Jiang Feng in such a state, she was deeply moved.
"Finished?" Jiang Feng opened his eyes and looked at her.
Murong Qian, now in her casual clothes, was wearing a cool sleeveless dress, barefooted in sandals, with long hair draped over her shouldersโshe seemed like a goddess walking from the midnight sky, except for the faint dark circles that showed her exhaustion and fatigue.
"Yes, all treated. Those people, really, all those playboys and rich ladies at the Zunxiang Club for pleasure, faced such an event, and they were indignant about it. I spent the whole night listening to their complaints; my ears are probably calloused now." Murong Qian said with a tired stretch, scenting the air with her fragrance and showing off her curves.
"It's very late. Let me drive you home." Jiang Feng, feeling sorry for her, stood up and said.
He knew that given Murong Qian's status, she didn't have to endure such hardship.
In some ways, Murong Qian stayed in Binhai and went through this for Jiang Feng's sake!
"You can drive."
Murong Qian smiled charmingly, tossing her car keys to Jiang Feng with a flick of her wrist.
Jiang Feng didn't hesitate, got into the BMW X5, and drove Murong Qian back to her residence.
