Chapter 1197: Chapter 1195: 1194 really wants money

The female doctor moved very quickly, and despite her seemingly indifferent and lethargic demeanor, she was anything but sloppy in her actions. Once they left the director’s office, her legs moved as if they had rocket propellers, walking very fast. Tan Rou and Liang Lu had to quicken their pace considerably to keep up with her.

Upon reaching the inpatient department, the female doctor didn’t waste words with the duty nurse and directly started working on the computer. The nurse beside her watched with a nonchalant expression, apparently used to such behavior.

After figuring out which ward Liang Guo was in, the female doctor hurriedly led Tan Rou and the others to the ward without saying a word. This indeed saved them a lot of time, and they quickly arrived at Liang Guo’s ward.

“This is a single room, costing around a thousand per day, and they’ve already been here for two days,” the female doctor said. “The person who handled their hospitalization has already prepaid for a week’s stay.”

Tan Rou asked, “Can we find out who paid the hospital bills for them?”

The female doctor answered, “No, the person is quite cautious. He didn’t use a bank transfer to pay the hospital bills but paid in cash instead.”

Again with the cash payments, this was the third time someone had paid in cash — the first two instances involved the person sending the videos receiving cash, and now cash was used for the hospital fees. It seemed the person behind the scenes was really cunning, not wanting to leave any trace.

Having arrived outside the ward, Liang Lu didn’t want to wait any longer and said, “Let’s go in now.”

The female doctor stopped her, “You need to wait a moment before going in.”

Liang Lu asked, puzzled, “Why?”

The female doctor, pointing at a sign on the door, said, “To prevent single-room patients from being disturbed by visitors, we have installed this device on each single-room ward door. If they’re willing to see visitors at this time, the light here would be green; if not, it would be red.”

But at this moment, the light was yellow.

Tan Rou then asked, “Does the yellow light mean there are people inside?”

The female doctor nodded. “Yes, so you need to wait a moment. When the visitor leaves, then you can go inside. It’s hospital policy, and even if you are friends of my father, we can’t break the rule.”

Liang Lu said, “I really have very important things to ask them, I can’t wait any longer.”

However, the female doctor still disagreed, and she stood in front of the door, “You can’t go in now.”

Liang Lu wanted to force her way in, but was stopped by Tan Rou, “Just wait a bit, someone is inside, which means they haven’t left yet. As long as they are still there, it’s fine.”

Liang Lu calmed down a bit, “You’re right, I need to calm down and control my temper.”

After a while, the person inside finally came out, holding a camera — apparently a reporter.

“You two rest well, I will be leaving now,” said the reporter, who didn’t notice Tan Rou and the others. He turned back inside and added, “Don’t worry, I will surely send this out, and soon your two unfilial granddaughters will give you the money.”

Listening to this, Liang Lu almost felt like beating up the reporter. What did he mean by unfilial granddaughters — what terrible thing had she ever done?

Tan Rou, standing behind her, said, “Let’s not get agitated; let’s leave this matter with Zhuang Liu. His people are already at the door.”

Clenching her fist, Liang Lu managed to restrain herself, “Okay, let’s first go inside and settle this with those two people!”

Tan Rou had just learned about the two elderly persons’ intention from the reporter’s words; they wanted to ask Liang Lu for money. Tan Rou felt that those elderly people were unlikely to have contacted the reporter themselves, meaning someone must be helping them from behind the scenes. Tan Rou and Liang Lu needed to find that person soon, as the more they delayed, the more detrimental it would be for Liang Lu.

While Tan Rou was sending photos of the reporter to Zhuang Liu, Liang Lu had already run inside the ward, shouting as she entered, “Why are you doing this to me? In what way have I wronged you?”

Tan Rou instinctively looked around at the people nearby and at the reporter who had walked away. It seemed that the people around weren’t paying attention to the situation, and the reporter had already left.

She breathed a sigh of relief and then also walked inside the ward.
