In Xiao Bai's view, although the developnt of events was slightly different from the original plan, having the police involved was even more effective than having Zhang Jin and his team handle it. Anyway, his goal was to stir up trouble, the bigger, the better.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Bai imdiately reported the matter to his master Li Zheming, who was quite pleased. Leaning back in a comfortable executive chair, a proud and satisfied smirk appeared on his face.
"Chu Ge, Chu Ge, last ti you got away by luck, let's see how you escape this ti? I ssed with your wife's company. I bet you have no idea who did it, do you?"
Lighting a cigarette, Li Zheming took a leisurely drag and exhaled slowly, his smile growing even brighter.
"You, surnad Chu, you're really going to be in big trouble this ti. This small trick is just the beginning, consider it insignificant interest! Acting all arrogant before, huh? I've moved on from the past, just you wait and see, as I play you to death bit by bit!"
anwhile, at the First People's Hospital in Lidu City.
Chu Ge, along with Lin Gaoze and dozens of guests who had just dined at Shangjian, marched grandly into the hospital. Chu Ge chose this hospital because the two South Koreans were sent here earlier.
They all had food at the sa restaurant, and now they were at the sa hospital for check-ups. Once the results were out, the truth would beco evident.
Seeing the long queue, almost reaching the entrance at the registration counter, Lin Gaoze frowned slightly. There were indeed too many people, weren't there?
Lin Gaoze gestured for everyone to wait a mont while he personally went to discuss with the hospital about handling a unified registration, because otherwise, just queuing up for registration would waste a lot of ti.
Chu Ge, of course, had no objections. He didn't want to stay in the hospital for too long either; the pervasive sll of disinfectant was rather unpleasant.
Striding over to the window, Lin Gaoze expressed his wish, but the staff didn't buy it. Even when he revealed his identity as the captain of the criminal police, they just rolled their eyes at him.
The expression seed to say, "So what if you're police? Get in line and don't waste my ti."
Because of his profession, Lin Gaoze was used to giving commands and having others comply, but now his pride was sowhat tested as the staff simply ignored him and people in line behind him impatiently urged him on.
This was, in fact, normal; the attitude of staff at public hospitals was notoriously tough, and they were just doing things by the book. Lin Gaoze really couldn't do much about it.
Swallowing his annoyance, Lin Gaoze made a few more attempts to negotiate but to no avail. He could only retreat, sowhat embarrassed, back towards Chu Ge.
Seeing Lin Gaoze's expression, Chu Ge knew he'd hit a wall. Although a bit resigned, he wasn't too surprised. Without special treatnt, they could only queue up.
As Lin Gaoze walked back, an elevator arrived on the first floor of the hospital, and two elderly n stepped out.
One of them, half-gray-haired and wearing glasses, looked scholarly. He spotted Chu Ge right away, paused slightly, then spoke a few words to the other elder before walking over with a warm smile.
Before Lin Gaoze could say anything to Chu Ge, the two old n arrived beside them.
"Isn't this Mr. Chu? Haha, long ti no see," the scholarly-looking elder greeted Chu Ge cheerfully, extending his right hand.
Chu Ge was slightly taken aback; the old man looked familiar, but he couldn't recall who he was at the mont. However, the elder was very polite, so Chu Ge returned the smile and shook hands, glancing briefly at the man's white coat but couldn't see a na badge.
"Hello, may I ask who you are..."
"Haha, Mr. Chu, you seem to have forgotten . I'm Hu Tai'en from orthopedics. We t a few tis when you were in the special care ward."
Realization dawned on Chu Ge, and he smiled apologetically, "Oh, Dean Hu, I'm really sorry, my mory, you know."
As the two exchanged handshakes and pleasantries, Lin Gaoze and the guests from Shangjian were all taken aback. Did Chu Ge have such connections? Not only could he stay in a special care ward, but even the hospital dean was so courteous with him?
After releasing hands, Hu Tai'en glanced at the group around Chu Ge and asked curiously, "Mr. Chu, what brings you here...?"
"Oh, due to so special circumstances, I'm bringing these people for a check-up. We were just about to line up for registration."
Hearing this, Hu Tai'en imdiately shook his head with a smile, "Mr. Chu, you really shouldn't have to bother with such things. Why didn't you call in advance? Since you're bringing people, there's no need to register. I'll arrange it for you."
Chu Ge was secretly taken aback, thinking to himself that he didn't have Dean Hu's phone number at all, did he? And…what's up with this Dean Hu? They don't seem to know each other that well, right? Is there any reason for him to be so concerned about his affairs?
Lin Gaoze's jaw twitched slightly, gosh? This Chu Ge is too much, right? How is he so effective wherever he goes?
Seeing Dean Hu's enthusiasm, even if a leader at the level of the city mayor or the municipal party secretary were to be hospitalized, they'd probably receive this kind of treatnt, wouldn't they?
Chu Ge declined a few tis, but Hu Tai'en waved repeatedly, said it was no big deal, casually called a staff mber from the hospital, instructed them a few tis, and then arranged the whole group dical check-up thing.
"Mr. Chu, here's my business card. If you or any relatives or friends need sothing here in the future, feel free to give a call, and don't be formal with at all."
Receiving the business card handed over by Hu Tai'en with both hands, Chu Ge felt even more puzzled; the old man's attitude was truly strange.
If Hu Tai'en is being so polite because of He Junming, that seems off too, doesn't it? The current situation of the He Family is so bad that it's already a public secret, and Hu Tai'en couldn't be unaware. Even if Hu Tai'en thinks a dying cal is still bigger than a horse, there's no need for him to lower his stance this much in front of him, right?
Despite feeling puzzled, Chu Ge couldn't ask much, so he said so words of thanks and politeness for now.
"Mr. Chu, you be busy first, I have so matters to attend to, sorry I must leave for a while. If there's anything you need from later, just give a call anyti."
"Alright, thank you, Dean Hu."
Hu Tai'en smiled humbly and nodded, and left with the elderly man beside him. Recalling that minute or two just now, Chu Ge wasn't sure if it was just his illusion, but he felt that while chatting with Hu Tai'en, the elderly man with Hu Tai'en seed to be constantly paying attention to him, and his gaze towards him was a bit odd.
Could it be…that Hu Tai'en's manner is related to that elderly man?
If that's the case, who exactly is that elderly man whom he hadn't t before?
Unable to figure it out, Chu Ge didn't think about it further for now, directly arranging the dical check-up for everyone before sitting on a long bench in the resting area with Lin Gaoze to wait together.
"Chu Ge, you're not fair, you have connections here but didn't find this Dean Hu earlier, causing to lose face upfront."
After recent events, Lin Gaoze and Chu Ge had beco quite familiar with each other and stopped bothering with pretenses, asking sowhat gloomily.
Chu Ge smiled helplessly, "Brother Lin, actually I'm not as familiar with that Dean Hu as you see, we've just t a few tis. I'm also puzzled why he would volunteer to organize this matter."
Upon hearing this, Lin Gaoze secretly rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that you're just fooling people, but then he thought, maybe Chu Ge just wants to keep a low profile, so he didn't pursue further and changed the subject.
"By the way, bringing so many people for a check-up this ti, do you have it under control?"
"Rest assured, apart from those problematic ats delivered this morning, all other ingredients are the freshest, and there's no issue in the kitchen."
"What do you plan to do about soone deliberately trying to sar Shang Jian? How do you want to deal with those problematic frozen ats?"
Chu Ge smiled faintly, "I'll have soone conduct tests to see how severe the issues with those ats are, and then decide what to do afterwards. I actually know who's trying to disgust ; the saring this ti and the tampering with my car a few days ago are done by the sa group."
"Hmm?" Lin Gaoze slightly frowned but didn't say much more; if Chu Ge wanted to continue talking, he naturally would, otherwise, asking wouldn't help.
After a few seconds, Chu Ge shared his previous dealings with Li Zheming and Park Sungjin with Lin Gaoze.
"Brother Lin, not to ntion my issues with Li Zheming, just those South Koreans who purposely ca to Lidu City make feel that Zhiling Headhunting Company is suspicious. You might as well have soone monitor them from ti to ti; you might discover sothing useful to you. If you manage to uncover an international criminal organization, then I should congratulate you."
Lin Gaoze nodded in agreent. As the saying goes, it's not a fierce dragon that doesn't cross the river, he also felt it strange for such a group of South Koreans to gather at Zhiling Company, likely hiding so tricks.
Another matter that concerned Lin Gaoze was that Chu Ge had already been undermined twice by the opposing side, yet Chu Ge did not ntion letting him handle it.
If Chu Ge was going to tolerate it like this, he absolutely wouldn't believe it a hundredfold.
Since Chu Ge didn't ntion it, there seed to be only one possibility left, which was that Chu Ge intended to take action in his own way.
