Chapter 888: Chapter 890: Too High Expectations

So Xiao Yifei explained the entire course of events in detail, including what Zheng Peng had done before, and finally he repeated: "This time, I have some responsibility, but I assure you I really didn’t know it would turn out to be such a big deal."

Then the two detectives left Lin Mu’s office, not forgetting to say as they left: "Sorry for disturbing you, Dr. Xiao, we’ll come to you if there’s anything else."

Xiao Yifei saw them off with a smile, but in his heart he was saying, "Next time? I never want to see you again." Although thinking this, he was still a bit worried, as the fact that the detectives had come must mean it won’t be resolved easily.

If it can’t be resolved satisfactorily, Xiao Yifei fears he might not be able to continue in this industry. He now utterly hates Zheng Peng, and he can’t understand why such a person always has to go against him. This time there was definitely Sun Xingyao’s involvement, otherwise with Zheng Peng’s demeanor, he wouldn’t dare to commit such acts. Encountering something like this, Xiao Yifei could only resign himself to bad luck.

The few patients who passed away due to the infection were a knot in Xiao Yifei’s heart. He kept comforting himself that this matter had nothing directly to do with him, and it should be Zheng Peng and their responsibility to bear. However, he still couldn’t find peace of mind. noveldrama

The morning’s progress had been significantly delayed by the arrival of the detectives, so Xiao Yifei decided not to work anymore and considered it a half-day off for himself. He had no idea where his future would take him.

He walked out of his office and saw the two detectives still hadn’t left and were asking a receptionist nurse some questions. What could you possibly find out from them? Xiao Yifei thought to himself.

Then he went to the director’s office. As soon as the director saw him come in, he put down what he was doing and sat up straight, asking: "Have the detectives left? What questions did they ask you?"

"They’re still in the lobby understanding the situation from other doctors. They asked those questions, and I answered truthfully. Director, do you think this will be a problem for me? Will I not be able to stay at this hospital anymore?" Xiao Yifei asked worriedly.

He felt he didn’t fit the atmosphere of this hospital. Over the years, many things had happened, both good and bad, which were inseparable from him. He thought he might as well not be a doctor anymore. But then he quickly remembered that other than being a doctor, he couldn’t even manage to work a full month at a job like delivering packages.

Xiao Yifei felt a great sense of frustration, and now he didn’t dare to give up easily. His relationship with Tang Rong was entering a stable period, and he didn’t want this incident to ruin the life he had painstakingly built.

"No need to worry just yet. They’re here to understand the situation first. Even if they wanted to charge you, they’d need enough evidence. As long as they investigate thoroughly, they’ll definitely find out that someone purposely framed you for this. Rest assured," the director comforted him.

Hearing the director’s words, Xiao Yifei felt much more relaxed, although he knew the director might just be comforting him. So he said nothing further and left the director’s office.

He still felt uneasy. He thought that since Zheng Peng and the others could do such harmful things, they might have already destroyed the evidence or pinned it all on him. What would he do then? He knew Zheng Peng and the others could definitely do such things.

Since the detectives left, Xiao Yifei hadn’t found peace of mind. He was already prepared for the worst. Xiao Yifei seemed naturally pessimistic, always preparing for the worst from the outset.

For instance, during the college entrance examination, even though he knew with his grades he’d definitely get into his first choice, he spent the summer with the mindset that he might not get into college. Actually, this kind of mindset was understandable because he’d experienced too many disappointments before, so he didn’t dare to hold high expectations for anything anymore.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Xiao Yifei started without expectations, preparing for the worst. Of course, this saying can also be reversed: the greater the disappointment, the greater the hope. So from another perspective, this mindset might not be a bad thing.

In a break from his busy schedule at the hospital, Xiao Yifei went home, only to find that Tang Rong wasn’t there. So he called her.

"Hey, where are you? I’m home, but I need to go back to the hospital later. When can you come back?" Xiao Yifei asked.

"Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If you had, I’d have come back. But I’m working overtime now, so I won’t see you again, will I?" Tang Rong sounded a bit regretful. Actually, she could have gone home earlier today, but she thought she’d have nothing to do at home alone and would start missing him out of boredom.

So by the time she finally got around to packing up after work, she’d been caught by the person assigning them tasks, and unfortunately, had to stay overtime. Luckily, it was paid overtime, or Tang Rong would have been really upset.

Of course, she didn’t dare tell Xiao Yifei she could have been home on time; he would surely scold her for it.

Xiao Yifei didn’t say much more and hung up the phone. Tang Rong felt she and Xiao Yifei weren’t like a couple at all but more like a father-daughter relationship. They hardly ever exchanged sweet nothings over the phone. Xiao Yifei only occasionally used affectionate terms when texting.

Initially, Tang Rong thought it was due to Xiao Yifei not liking her enough, but as they spent more time together, she realized he was actually quite shy. Whenever Tang Rong called him something sweet, he’d become terribly embarrassed, which made her want to tease him even more.

After hanging up, Tang Rong still felt a bit disappointed. Couldn’t he at least say a few more words? It’s been days since they properly talked. Tang Rong didn’t dwell on it, being too busy to think about anything else.

After hanging up, Xiao Yifei casually packed a few clothes in his bedroom and then went out, driving to a restaurant he and Tang Rong used to frequent. He packed some meals and drove to Tang Rong’s company, calling her when he arrived downstairs.

"Come down for a bit, I’m downstairs at your company," Xiao Yifei said and hung up before Tang Rong could respond.

Upon hearing this, Tang Rong rushed downstairs. When she saw Xiao Yifei standing there, she leaped forward and hugged him tightly. Xiao Yifei freed a hand to hug her back. They hadn’t seen each other for several days.

"I feel like I haven’t seen you in ages. Quickly, tell me, did you miss me?" Tang Rong asked, her face buried in Xiao Yifei’s chest.
