"You have to make it public, or it will damage your reputation, since this matter is getting more and more serious."

Xu Xi acted sincerely, "We've been working together for so many years, so I don't want you to become the scapegoat."

Yang Jing quietly watched Xu Xi persuade him so sincerely. He smiled all of a sudden, "No matter what will happen, it's my own business."

Xu Xi was stunned and didn't know what he meant.

Yang Jing looked at her and said, "I will take care of my own business, and I don't need anyone else to do it for me."

Xu Xi looked gloomy.

Yang Jing meant that she should mind her own business and stop bothering him.

Xu Xi felt ashamed and wanted to make him change his mind, "Doctor Yang..."

"I know clearly what I'm doing, Xu Xi."

Though he was injured, he looked serious.

But he was not joking.

Xu Xi also knew that he was saying this seriously.

He still decided to become the scapegoat for Bai Shengsheng.

Xu Xi felt depressed, but she knew it was useless to persuade him anymore. She stood up and said, "I hope you will always be lucky."

Yang Jing nodded, "Thanks for your wish."

Xu Xi turned around and left.

After she left, Zhou Yiyi came back with an ice bag.

She was confused when she didn't see Xu Xi here, so she asked, "Where is Xu Xi? She was here just now."

"She has something to do, so she left."

Yang Jing explained it.

Zhou Yiyi snorted, "I knew she's insincere. She is not really worried about you."

Zhou Yiyi thought Xu Xi was annoying.

She put the ice bag on Yang Jing's eye that had been hit before.

Yang Jing kept his head up to carry the ice bag. He could feel the pain was being relieved by the ice.

Zhou Yiyi asked with concern, "Does it hurt? Or too cold?"

Yang Jing shook his head, "It's okay."

Zhou Yiyi focused on listening to the voices in the corridor. She could still hear those people argue with Mr. Jiang.

"They look tough."

"Yeah."

Yang Jing nodded.

"Did they come here to extort money?"

It was not rare that the family of the dead patient extorted money because of a failed operation.

But Yang Jing didn't think they came for this.

"I don't think so."

"Then what do they want?"

Zhou Yiyi was confused.

Yang Jing suddenly said, "I want to ask you a question."

"What question?"

Zhou Yiyi listened to him carefully.

Yang Jing hesitated for a while and then finally asked, "If... I mean if..."

In case that Zhou Yiyi might think too much, Yang Jing emphasized that it was just a hypothesis.

Zhou Yiyi nodded and said, "Well, I got it. Just ask."

"If the surgeon who took charge of Ye's operation were not me, should have I spoken it out?"

Hearing his question, Zhou Yiyi answered without hesitation, "Of course, you have to speak it out, or you will become the scapegoat of the surgeon. Why should you take responsibility for what he or she did?"

"But maybe the surgery is not the cause of Ye's death."

Yang Jing reminded her.

Zhou Yiyi kept silent for a while, then frowned, and said seriously, "I still think you should speak it out. No matter whether it is the cause or not, it has nothing to do with you."

"But the surgeon..."

"It is none of your business!" Zhou Yiyi interrupted him, "You can't be so generous in this world. Those people come here to make trouble. If they really cause an uproar, or the forensic expert verifies that Ye really died from this, you will not only become the scapegoat, but also be condemned by the public. Don't you have any idea about the power of net citizens? You should know how terrifying cyber-violence is. Maybe now it's not a big deal, so you think it's still okay, but what if cyber-violence really comes to you? You will be depressed, and your career will be ruined."

Zhou Yiyi came straight to the point.

In her opinion, Yang Jing should get out of this trouble as soon as possible.

"Before it becomes bigger, get yourself out of it. Let the real sinner take the responsibility."

Zhou Yiyi said this from the perspective of Yang Jing's friend.

But Yang Jing refused, "If I speak it out, the doctor helping me finish the operation will suffer much from the cyber-violence."

"That's what she deserves, since she has failed the operation." Zhou Yiyi said.

"But I was there watching her finish it. There was no problem with her skills, and she was even more skilled than me."

Yang Jing said seriously.

He focused on explaining it, so he had forgotten that it should be a hypothesis.

Zhou Yiyi also realized it according to Yang Jing's tone. She asked, "So it's true, isn't it?"

Yang Jing finally realized that he had made mistakes. He hurriedly denied, "No, it's a hypothesis."

"You can't lie to me."

Zhou Yiyi persuaded Yang Jing, "Tell the public who the real surgeon is, if you really didn't do that, or you will get your reputation ruined. The doctor in C City, who suggested the patient buy foreign medicine, has lost his job just because of the medical trouble."

Zhou Yiyi warned Yang Jing.

Yang Jing was also scared by that.

But he still couldn't make a decision.

Zhou Yiyi knew Yang Jing couldn't make a decision in a short time, so she sighed and continued to persuade him, "You have a bright future. You will marry a good woman, and have a cute kid. You also love your job. Now you've got into trouble, but it's not you who made mistakes, so you don't have to be the scapegoat for anyone."

Yang Jing kept silent.

Zhou Yiyi continued, "Speak it out, and be generous to yourself."

Yang Jing was still silent.

Zhou Yiyi continued to persuade him stubbornly, "Your life is much more important than anyone else."

Yang Jing still kept silent after he heard that. After a long time, he suddenly said, "You are so selfish."

Zhou Yiyi finally stopped persuading.

...

Gu Baisheng was waked up at night.

She blearily heard that Song Shuang was speaking to someone on the phone.

"They already come to the hospital?"

Gu Baisheng couldn't hear what the person on the phone said, but she could hear clearly Song Shuang's voice.

Song Shuang asked a few words briefly, and then said, "I'll be there soon."

He put on his clothes.

Gu Baisheng rubbed her eyes to wake herself up, and then reached out to stop Song Shuang, "I'll go with you."

Song Shuang said as he saw her sleepy look, "You have to sleep."

"No, I want to go with you." She had guessed something, "Did someone make trouble in the hospital?"

Since he couldn't hide it, he nodded, "Yes. They said they are Ye's family, so they come to the hospital to ask for the compensation."

Gu Baisheng got out of bed and got dressed. Though she felt tired, she had to go there. She said when she put on her coat, "Such an event last time happened a decade ago in the Second Hospital. The whole Beicheng will know this matter tomorrow morning if it has been spread out. I have to go there, because I am worried about Yang Jing."

Song Shuang frowned.

She knew much about the history of Second Hospital in Beicheng.

After Gu Baisheng got dressed, they drove to the hospital.

She felt a headache on the way, so she closed her eyes to take a rest.

Song Shuang was worried as he saw this, "Is it a headache?"

She would have a headache whenever she slept little.

She would always stay in the operation room for more than ten hours without a break.

But actually, she was not a strong woman.

She didn't like to go shopping, but when Qu Xiaobo asked, she would go with Qu Xiaobo. She would be exhausted and snuggle up on the sofa after she came back, even if she had just gone shopping for only one hour.

"A little bit."

Gu Baisheng didn't hide this from him. She kept rubbing her temple.

"Does it hurt much?"

"I'm fine. I just need a rest."

"Take a rest. I will wake you up when we arrive."

Gu Baisheng nodded and then closed her eyes.

It was cold at night in Beicheng.

But the air conditioner made it warm in the car. Gu Baisheng took a nap on the way, and felt better when they arrived.

After they got out of the car, Song Shuang took off his coat and put it on her. He was afraid that she would have a headache again if she felt cold.

Gu Baisheng looked at him, "Aren't you feeling cold?"

"It's troublesome if you get ill."

Song Shuang said this coldly.

But Gu Baisheng knew that he was worrying her.

Song Shuang went into the hospital with her.

When they got to the second floor, they heard the argument in the corridor.

"The police won't help you. My brother is killed by the quack doctor. We need the compensation, or we will live here and won't go anywhere."

Gu Baisheng said to Song Shuang as she heard this, "They are like rogues."

The forensic expert hadn't gotten the result yet, but these people had already become impatient.

Song Shuang didn't want her to go close to them, so he said, "Wait for me in my office."

"I just stand here."

Gu Baisheng didn't want to leave.

Song Shuang stared at her.

She was scared by his dominant and serious look.

She had to give in, "Come to me as soon as you finish it."

Song Shuang wrapped her up and handed the key to her, "Go."

Gu Baisheng turned around and went to his office.

She just pretended to go, and wanted to come back after he left, but when she turned back after taking a few steps, she saw Song Shuang still watching her there.

Song Shuang had guessed her thought as he saw her turn back, so he looked more serious.

Gu Baisheng had to turn around again and go to his office.

It seemed that she had really left. Song Shuang finally went to the place where they were arguing.

Jiang Shouyuan was almost driven crazy by these unreasonable people.

When he saw Song Shuang, he cheered up all of a sudden as if he had seen a savior. He said to Song Shuang, "You're finally here."

Song Shuang nodded at him.

Those people who were pestering Jiang Shouyuan stared at Song Shuang.

But they didn't dare to move at once when they saw Song Shuang's cold face.

He looked much tougher.
