Shao Feng heaved a sigh of relief. He had not agreed with Hu Wan on where they had gone. After all, they had not expected Chen Chen to ask this.

If Chen Chen had already gotten something out of Hu Wan and came to confront him again, that would be bad.

However, it seemed like Chen Chen had only heard the news from the Dean. The Dean did not know the details.

Shao Feng said in relief, “It’s my responsibility to take care of the patient. I was impulsive about this, but because the patient was in the hospital for a long time, her internal pent-up frustration was not conducive to her condition. I could not openly violate the hospital rules and could only bring her out secretly. However, along the way, I took good care of her, and her condition did not worsen.”

Chen Chen smiled gently and said, “That’s why I want to thank you. With her current condition, it’s good that she went to enjoy the sea breeze. By the way, where did you two go?”

Shao Feng suddenly looked a little nervous, but he immediately said, “We didn’t go anywhere nice. We just went to a scenic spot to take a breather.”

However, he heard the “sea breeze” in Chen Chen’s words. It seemed like Hu Wan had told him that they had gone to the beach.

At the thought of this, Shao Feng gradually became certain.

“Then Doctor Shao, you were following her along the way, right? Hu Wan’s health is not good. Aren’t you afraid that something will happen to her?” Chen Chen said.

Shao Feng nodded. “Of course, I followed her. Other than staying at the same place, she was fine.”

Shao Feng was busy denying his responsibility as an attending doctor, but he did not know that he had been tricked.

“That’s good. Doctor Shao is indeed dutiful.” Chen Chen smiled. “I wonder what scenic spot you went to?”

Shao Feng smiled confidently and said, “We didn’t go anywhere. Hu Wan said she felt uneasy and wanted to go to an open place to take a look, so I brought her to the beach to take a look and relax.”

Chen Chen smiled secretly. This kid was really easy to take the bait. With this level of intelligence, why was he trying to be a spy?

These two people were really interesting. One said that he went to the beach, and the other said that she went to the grassland. They did not even know how to tell the same lie.

“Not bad. It’s been hard on you, Doctor Shao. But I still have something to ask you,” Chen Chen said again.

Shao Feng became nervous again and asked, “What is it?”

Chen Chen said, “Is Hu Wan really sick?”

With that, Shao Feng’s heart instantly clenched.

He tried to look calm and said, “Of course. Why would you ask such a question?”

However, he knew very well that the Dean must have realized that Hu Wan’s illness was fake last time. This matter had also reached Chen Chen’s ears.

The hospital’s current countermeasure was to deny to the outside world that she was pretending to be sick.

He had to handle this matter well. Not only did he have to prove to the outside world that Hu Wan’s illness had always been true, but he could not implicate the Dean.

Especially when facing Chen Chen, he had to give a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, if he asked the Dean to question him, his future would really be ruined.

Last time, when she pretended to be sick, he had found so many experts to consult and then tried his best to explain in front of the Dean. He had even specially appeared to calm the public opinion before the Dean reluctantly let him continue to be the attending doctor.

If he forced Chen Chen to question the Dean again, the Dean could only tell the truth. Then, Chen Chen would definitely blow the matter up.

At that time, everything he had painstakingly concealed would be exposed, and the hospital would be embroiled in public opinion. At that time, not to mention his future as a small doctor, even the hospital and the Dean would not be able to escape.

This matter was extremely difficult to deny.

If he said that pretending to be sick was a mistake, this matter had already been resolved. Chen Chen would definitely look for the Dean to confirm it.

If he said that she was really pretending to be sick, then he was courting death.

For a moment, Shao Feng fell into a huge predicament, his mind buzzing.

This was really a huge test. Should he choose his future or should he admit that she pretended to be sick?

It seemed like both sides were dead ends.

Shao Feng did not speak for a long time and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

If only he had expected Chen Chen to come and denounce him. As long as he knew what the Dean had said, this matter would not be difficult.

However, although he had thought of it, he had been too busy recently and did not have the time to look for the Dean.

Shao Feng’s eyes darted around. Chen Chen seemed to have already expected him to be speechless. He said, “Are you speechless? If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it. You and Hu Wan joined forces to lie to everyone. It’s time to tell the truth today, right?”
