Chapter 15 Section Fourteen

After get off work in the afternoon, on the way down the mountain, Wu Leting dialed 114 and found the number of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Third City Hospital.She called immediately. "Hello, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Third Hospital." The other party answered the phone.A woman's voice. "Hello, I'm a friend of Nurse Qian Li." Wu Leting lied, "I want to ask, is she going to work tonight?" "Let me see..." The other party seemed to be looking up the list. "Well, she's on duty tonight." Great! "Okay, thanks!" She hung up the phone.

On the road, Wu Leting hailed a taxi and went straight to the Third Hospital without even thinking about dinner. Sitting in the car, Wu Leting imagined how to talk about this matter with Qian Li.Just to confirm that she took care of Dinon in the first place - or to talk to her in depth to find out more?Of course, the more detailed the better.But—Wu Leting was a little worried—this way, the fact that she was taking care of Di Nong might be exposed.If the dean finds out... Forget it, it depends on the situation.Don't think so much anymore. When they arrived at the Third Hospital, Wu Leting asked about the building where the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department was located at the consultation desk in the lobby.She took the elevator to the obstetrics and gynecology inpatient department.As a graduate of medical university, she knows very well that nurses are generally not in outpatient clinics, but are much more likely to be in inpatient departments.

The inpatient department of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department is full of expectant mothers.Wu Leting initially estimated that there would be no less than 100 wards here.It seems impossible to find them next to each other.She came to the nurse's station to ask. "Qian Li? She is mainly in charge of wards 702-705." An old nurse told Wu Leting.He asked again, "What are you looking for her for?" "I'm a friend of hers, come and see her." "Do you want me to call her for you?" "Can you? Thank you very much." The old nurse grabbed the phone on the table and dialed a series of numbers.After connecting, she said: "Qian Li, are you free now?... Very busy? Then come to the nurse's station after you are done. One of your friends came to see you...well, girl. She is Here..."

The old nurse looked at Wu Leting. "She asked what your name was." Oops.Wu Leting's heart skipped a beat.I lied about being her friend, but she didn't expect her to ask my name.Up until now, she could only bite the bullet and reply, "My name is...Wu Leting." The old nurse told Qian Li this name.Sure enough, she quickly looked at Wu Leting suspiciously and said, "Qian Li said she didn't know you." "I'm a friend of a friend of hers." Wu Leting said awkwardly, "I have something to do with her, so I'll hold her up for a while."

The old nurse conveyed Wu Leting's words.This time she hung up the phone and said, "Qian Li, please wait for a while, she will come over when she is done." "Hey, okay." Wu Leting breathed a sigh of relief.She sat on a row of chairs in the corridor and waited.Now her stomach is growling a little, but she doesn't know when Qian Li will come, so she has to hold back and dare not go out to eat. While waiting, Wu Leting kept paying attention to every young nurse coming and going in the corridor, trying to recognize Qian Li through intuition.About forty minutes later, a beautiful female nurse came from the left aisle.Wu Leting's eyes lit up - big eyes, round face - similar to Di Nong's description.Could it be her?

The female nurse walked to the nurse's station and asked the old nurse who called just now: "Sister Yuan, is the person who called for me still there?" It's really her!Wu Leting felt excited.Before the old nurse could answer, she stood up from the chair.Walking up to Qian Li, she smiled and said, "Hello, is this Nurse Qian Li? My name is Wu Leting." "Hello." Qian Li replied in a friendly manner, and she seemed to be a very easy-going person. "Are you looking for me?" "Well... I found out about your workplace through a friend of mine in the health school. I want to delay your time and ask something."

"What's the matter, you can ask." Qian Li said generously. Wu Leting looked around and said, "Can we find a quiet place to talk?" Qian Li thought about it for a while. "Okay. But I'm really busy—there are a lot of pregnant women having babies at this time. Can't wait too long." "I know, just a few minutes, not too long." "Well then, let's talk on the terrace." Qian Li took Wu Leting to a wide terrace next to the corridor.This is a place for patients to take a walk, but now because it is dinner time, there is no one there.They walked to the flower bed, and Qian Li faced Wu Leting. "Can we talk now?"

"En." Wu Leting nodded. "That's right, I want to confirm one thing to you." "What's up?" "You went to medical school before, didn't you?" "yes." "About ten years ago, you were on a summer vacation before graduating from the medical school—have you ever worked in the 'Renai Hospice Hospital'?" Qian Li was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Yes, there is such a thing." Wu Leting suppressed her excitement. "So, were you responsible for taking care of a special old man called Dinon?"

"Ah..." Qian Li exclaimed, "You... how do you know?" "Why are you so surprised?" Wu Leting stared into Qian Li's eyes, "Shouldn't someone know about this?" Qian Li suddenly became embarrassed, she avoided Wu Leting's gaze. "I... don't know what to say. This matter is a..." "It's a secret." Wu Leting told it for her. "right?" Qian Li opened her mouth wide in surprise. "You... who the hell are you? How do you know everything?" "Don't worry, I don't mean any harm. I just want to understand what happened in the first place."

"Sorry, I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to tell you about this." "I understand." Wu Leting nodded, "Because you signed a contract at the beginning, it stipulates that this matter must be kept confidential, right?" Qian Li was already stunned in shock. "My God, you really know everything!" "Yes, I know. So you don't need to hide it from me. Besides, it's been so long, even if you breach the contract, you don't have to pay 10 times your salary as liquidated damages." "You have read this contract." Qian Li said with wide eyes.

"You can say that." Wu Leting nodded. After a moment of silence, Qian Li asked, "What exactly do you want to do when you ask me about this matter?" "Nothing. I just want to know why you went to work there in the first place; what is your job content; and, some details about how you got along with the old man Dinon—that's all, can you tell me?" "Why should I tell you?" "Just take it as a favor for me, okay? This matter is very important to me." Wu Leting said sincerely. Qian Li and her looked at each other for a moment. "Well. It's been ten years since this event, but I'm still impressed. I have rarely encountered such special and fortunate events in my life." "Lucky?" "Isn't it?" Qian Li looked up at the night sky and recalled, "I was only sixteen years old. Before the summer vacation came, I saw a notice on the school bulletin board about recruiting summer nurses. I wanted to exercise I also wanted to earn some pocket money, so I applied for the job, and I succeeded in a short time. "I was very happy to be able to apply for the job. But what surprised me even more was that the director of the hospice hospital offered to give me a high salary. At that time, I was just a student—a naive little girl .Even if I was only given three or four hundred yuan a month, I would be very satisfied. However, I actually got a salary that was unimaginable-2,000 yuan a month! A summer vacation is 4,000 yuan! Do you know , At that time, my parents' monthly salary was not so high!" Wu Leting nodded, expressing her understanding - the same feeling I had at that time.she thought to herself. After Qian Li opened the chatterbox, it seemed that she couldn't close it: "Of course, the price of getting a high salary is to sign a contract that looks a little weird-you already know the content. However, in my opinion, the contract The terms stipulated in the above are really too easy to fulfill—isn’t it just confidentiality? What’s so difficult about it? Besides, the job content is very simple, just need to take care of an old man—this kind of good thing doesn’t happen often .” Wu Leting realized that the next part was the key point. "How do you take care of old Di?" Qian Li recalled: "It's very easy and relaxed. I remember, I just fed him, wiped his body and so on. Then, I just chatted with him." Wu Leting cleverly reminded: "Why do you feed him? Can't he eat by himself?" Qian Li thought for a while, and said "ah" in a low voice: "I remembered, his hands were fixed on both sides of the hospital bed, and he couldn't move freely. The reason seems to be... because he has mental problems." It's all right.Wu Leting took a deep breath to further confirm. "That dean told you, didn't he?" "Yes, he told me." "Then what do you think? Do you think Mr. Di has mental problems?" Qian Li replied almost without thinking: "To be honest, I really don't feel that he has mental problems. He is very amiable, and his speech and behavior are quite normal. Except... sometimes he will say some weird things." "What did he tell you?" "It's actually about telling me stories. He is very good at telling stories, and he often fascinates me." "Do you remember the content of those stories?" Qian Li shook her head. "I can't remember clearly, it's been too long. But I have a vague impression-those stories are quite magical and unbelievable. "Like a story about Da Vinci?" Qian Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded again and again: "Yes, he told the story about Da Vinci...God, how do you know this? Who are you from Old Di?" Wu Leting didn't know how to answer.She changed the topic: "I also know that you shared the little secret of his short cabinet. And, you quietly wrote the pinyin letters of your name on the bottom of the cabinet with a ballpoint pen." "Ah... oh!" Qian Li put her hands on her cheeks, her face flushed slightly.Her expression now is very complicated - moved, surprised, and a little embarrassed. "God, this is incredible. I almost forgot about it! Yes, I did. I wanted to poke fun at whoever later found out about the secret of the cabinet. But I didn't expect anyone to know that it represented me name……" Suddenly, she realized something and asked Wu Leting: "Are you the one who discovered the secret of the cabinet?" Wu Leting hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "How did you find out?" Qian Li asked, suddenly seeming to think of the answer. "Are you Di Lao's granddaughter?" "Didn't Mr. Di tell you? He doesn't even have any children. Where's the granddaughter?" "What's going on?" Qian Li just asked, and guessed another possibility. "Before Mr. Di died, did he give you this cabinet?" Until now, Wu Leting couldn't bear it anymore.She stared into Qian Li's eyes and said, "If I told you that Di Lao didn't die at all and is still alive and well, would you believe me?" Qian Li opened her eyes wide, stared at Wu Leting for half a minute, then shook her head and said, "No, it's impossible. He was terminally ill at the time, it seems..." "leukemia." "Yes, and it's incurable. That's why he's in the hospice. There's no way he's... alive now." Wu Leting has no intention of continuing to talk about this matter, what she wants to prove is very clear.She smiled at Qian Li: "Thank you, Nurse Qian Li, that's all I want to know. I won't disturb your work. Thank you very much, goodbye." After speaking, Wu Leting walked towards the corridor.Qian Li stood there in a daze, staring at her back in a daze. Walking out of the Third Hospital, Wu Leting walked slowly on the street.With so many thoughts in her mind now, she even forgot the hunger in her stomach.She had to clear all the doubts and confusions in her mind. So far, one thing is certain—Dinon said he had lived in this hospice for thirteen years, and it was true!He didn't lie to me, let alone talk crazy.On the contrary, the person who lied was Dean Ge!He knew very well how long Dinon lived here, and cheated every girl who came to take care of Dinon.Let them all think that Dinon died of illness not long after they left. The question now is - why did Dean Ge do this?He fixed Dinon's hands, and every once in a while, he found different people to "take care" of him—in fact, he might be monitoring him—so what is the purpose of controlling Dinon so deliberately?Could this be a conspiracy? And, oddly, there was another thing—why didn't Dinon take offense to this?By the way, he said that he had done a wrong thing before.For this reason, he is willing to use his life to atone for his sin.What is this "wrong thing"?Is it related to Dean Ge? Suddenly, Wu Leting suddenly remembered one thing Dean Ge told her when she applied for the job on the first day—— If this old man dies suddenly one day, or you have a premonition that he is going to die, you must tell me as soon as possible. Ah——Wu Leting was startled, and a thought popped up in her mind—could it be that the purpose of the dean to "raise" Dinong is to wait for him to die? But what happens when Dinon dies—suppose he dies? At this time, Wu Leting thought of the confusing and unbelievable stories that Di Nong told her—the truth about the Blue Diamond of Hope; Darwin's unknown secret; the "message" left by Da Vinci— —God, if it's true that he said he spent thirteen years in a hospice, are these things true? A series of unknowable questions intertwined and circled in her mind, making Wu Leting feel deeply confused.What made her even more perplexed was that now that she had been involved in this matter, should she get out of it as soon as possible, or stay and find out more about it? A breeze caressed Wu Leting's cheeks, as if blowing away some of her troubles and confusion, and made her sober up a lot. How could I just leave like this?There must be a big secret behind this incident.Now that I have come into contact with this matter, I should use this opportunity to find out the truth. Without solving this mystery, I will never feel at ease for the rest of my life.
