Chapter 31: New Life 2

Li Xiu Ying was still in a daze when she entered her apartment. She didn't know what happened in the last 24 hours. She doesn't know what will happen as well since the hearing was moved. She could not do anything like applying to different hospitals as she wanted to finish everything first. 

She was in the middle of contemplating the things in her life when Wang Jing opened the door at their apartment. She looked really tired she was dragging her bag while she walked towards her. When she plopped on the couch, she rested her head on Li Xiu Ying's shoulder. 

"Hi Bestie," she said and yawned "There was chaos in the hospital today," she said sleepily. 

"Chaos?" she asked

"Yeah, apparently the Director has been missing since yesterday," she said closing her eyes "Wait, didn't you have a hearing today with him?"

"Yeah, but they could not contact him. They re-scheduled it for next week" she said matter of factly.

"Aside from the Director missing, the hospital has a new owner," Wang Jing said to Li Xiu Ying "And the hospital was purchased two days ago after the Director has gone missing."

"What did you say?" she was shocked to hear that the purchase was made after the Director had gone missing. "So, what will happen to the hospital?"

"I dunno know, to be honest, everyone is scared about their job status" she answered "Everyone is scared to lose their job and be replaced once the owner of the hospital meets us next week." 

Li Xiu Ying needs to talk to Zhang Wei, she doesn't want to think that he had something to do with the disappearance of the director, but it would be too coincidental if he didn't have anything to do with it. 

Wang Jing suddenly got up and said "I'll sleep now babe, too tired, I don't even have the energy to eat," she then walked towards her room. 

Li Xiu Ying dialed Zhang Wei's number once Wang Jing closed her door. 

After two rings, Zhang Wei answered the phone. 

"What's wrong" he asked worrily once he answered the phone. 

"Nothing, I just have a question for you and you have to be honest with me please," she said confused about why he sounded so worried. 

"Okay," he answered "What is it?"

"Did you have anything to do with the disappearance of the director?" she asked straight forward. 

He was shocked by her question "The director is missing?" 

"Yeah, do you have anything to do with that?" she asked again. 

"Why do you think I have something to do with it?" he asked curiously

"Because the Director was missing when you purchased the hospital," she said her voice strained because she was trying to reign her anger. 

"Why are you still asking me when in your mind I already have something to do with it" he said sounding hurt. 

She felt guilty but did not allow this guilt to overcome her otherwise she would not get her answer. 

"Stop twisting the conversation, just answer my question" she irritably replied. 

"Fine!" he said "I do not even know who your Director is and buying the hospital has been on my list because it's one of the good investments especially after the pandemic." he added 

"Why do I find it hard to believe what you just said" she thought, however she said the statement out loud.

"Wow" he said hurt can be heard on his voice "Why did you bother to ask me if you will not believe me." then he end the call

"Eh?" she was shocked that she said out loud what she's thought earlier. The hurt on his voice did not sit well on Li Xiu Ying and she felt guilty. 

One of the things, she didn't like is hurting someone especially with what she said.

"It's okay" she said to herself "He's a toughie, he will not be hurt" she added convincing herself "For now, let's take a nap".
