Seven to eight people had entered the hospital in just five minutes, but they were clearly visiting someone at the hospital. None of them looked like a peerless doctor.
Song Qi contemplated briefly. She told Zhu to check the East side entrance to be safe. She was worried that the peerless doctor might have entered from some other entrance.
Zhu went over and waited for a few minutes, but the doctor did not show up there either. Since it was almost time for the hospital to close, the security guard at the entrance went over and started locking the glass doors.
Zhu could only go back to the front entrance and tell Song Qi about it. “Why don’t you check with your brother?”
Song Qi acknowledged softly. Just as she was about to call Song Zhi, he came in from outside, so she put away her phone.
Song Zhi walked over and looked at Song Qi quizzically. “Why are you still here? Where is the peerless doctor?”
Butler Wang was following behind Song Zhi. Butler Wang nodded to Song Qi and greeted her.
“I was just about to call and ask. We have been waiting here the entire time and even checked the side entrance, but we did not see the doctor,” said Song Qi as she frowned.
“How can that be? Mr. Fu told me ten minutes ago that the peerless doctor had arrived. I don’t understand why you did not see the person.” Song Zhi paused briefly before taking out his phone. “Let me call Mr. Fu and ask.”
Song Qi nodded with her eyes glued to the main entrance.
The phone got through before long. Song Zhi courteously asked Fu Cheng about the peerless doctor. Fu Cheng sounded equally surprised. He told Song Zhi to give him a minute while he checked with the peerless doctor.
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Song Zhi before hanging up the phone. He looked at Song Qi. “Mr. Fu said he would call the doctor and find out more. Oh yes. How’s Dad doing? Did his condition aggravate?”
Song Qi shook her head. “Nope. He is still unconscious.”
Song Zhi felt slightly relieved. He thought about the peerless doctor and told, “Mr. Fu said the peerless doctor is the chairman’s friend. Since he is a fine doctor, he is quite confident about treating Dad. He has an 80% chance of curing Dad.”
Song Qi opened her eyes wide. She responded in a shocked voice “The chairman’s friend? Sounds like the real deal then.”
Song Zhi nodded. “Exactly. We mustn’t be rude. Since the doctor is the chairman’s friend, I am sure he is no ordinary person.”
“In that case, there is hope for Dad.” The worry on Song Qi’s face dissipated. She turned to look at Zhu. “What are you standing around here for? Go look for him in the car park.”
Butler Wang hurriedly followed behind Zhu. “I will come along with you.”
The two of them walked out one after another.

Huo Yao was still in the parking lot. She leaned against the side of the black car lazily with both hands in her pockets. She seemed particularly cold and annoyed.
When her phone rang, she took it out and checked the caller ID. Then, she raised her brow and answered it.
“Dr. Huo, have you arrived at the hospital? My friend said they couldn’t find you,” said Fu Cheng over the phone courteously.
Huo Yao raised her chin. She reached her hand out to pull some loose hair over her lips behind her ear as she said mildly, “I did go to the hospital.”
Fu Cheng quickly said, “Where are you then? I will get them to go over to get you right away.”
Huo Yao kicked the stones on the ground gently. “No thanks. I am not going to examine the patient.”
Fu Cheng was stunned. Fu Cheng did not see this answer coming. He noticed Huo Yao’s voice sounded a lot colder than previously. He tightened his grip on the phone as he asked. “May I ask why?”
