Out of Control Overnight: The Irritable Top Alpha Goes Mad Searching for His Wife - Chapter 18

Lu Shijun wanted to go to the rest area several times. He wanted to lift that troublesome sweater and see exactly what secret was hidden underneath, but in the end, he did not take action.

His friend was sick, and he could not disturb his sleep.

Fortunately, the assistant was very fast. In less than an hour, the entirety of Shen Qing’s movements over the past month had been delivered to him.

Shen Qing’s life was very simple. He traveled between two points in a straight line, only occasionally going out to buy daily necessities. Lu Shijun had participated in 90% of these activities. During this period, the only thing that caught his attention was a trip Shen Qing took to the hospital alone not long ago.

Lu Shijun stared at the information. It was listed as a common fever, and even the medications purchased were clearly detailed, yet he still felt that something was wrong.

Across the desk, several assistants felt the terrifying pressure and did not dare to breathe loudly.

Finally, the chief assistant, Jiang Qin, stepped forward and asked cautiously, “CEO Lu, is there a problem with this investigation report?”

Lu Shijun’s sharp eyes fixed on the consultation time. Finally, as if he had detected something, his lips curled into a cold sneer.

“Who was the doctor who treated Assistant Shen?”

Jiang Qin replied, “CEO Lu, it was Dr. Lin Zhian from the emergency department.”

The investigation report stated Lin Zhian’s name, but Lu Shijun felt the name was strangely familiar. For a name to be familiar to him, there had to be a reason.

He narrowed his eyes. “Find a photo of him.”

Photos of doctors at the First Hospital could be found online. Soon, Jiang Qin handed the photo over.

“CEO Lu, I found it.”

The moment his gaze landed on the photo, Lu Shijun remembered instantly. His face darkened, and the cold smile on his lips intensified. “No wonder it took two full hours from the consultation to leaving the hospital. It turns out he ran into an old acquaintance.”

Lu Shijun finally identified the source of the problem and called the other party without hesitation.

However, Lin Zhian was not someone who was easily intimidated. He naturally knew Lu Shijun’s identity, but for that very reason, he was even more determined to help Shen Qing hide the truth.

Lu Shijun could not get any useful information, especially since the other party hung up the phone early. His expression was dark and malevolent. He nearly smashed the phone in his hand. At the last moment, he remembered Shen Qing was still sleeping in the rest area. Although a great deal of money had been spent on soundproofing during the renovation, he was still worried about waking him.

His phone was raised high, then set down gently.

He stood up from his chair with a grim face. “Jiang Qin, come with me. The others stay here.”

If Lin Zhian was unwilling to speak, then he would go to the First Hospital personally. He wanted to see just how long the man could keep the secret.

On the other side, Shen Qing did indeed fall asleep after Lu Shijun left, but he was awakened midway by a phone call.

He answered the phone in a daze, only to hear Lin Zhian’s serious voice on the other end.

“Shen Qing, Lu Shijun suspects you.”

The moment those words were spoken, Shen Qing’s sleepiness vanished. He jerked upright in bed.

Lin Zhian continued, “He just called me to ask what you were doing at the hospital and why the consultation took two hours.”

Those numerous test reports had indeed taken some time, but Shen Qing had not expected him to investigate this for no reason.

No, it was not exactly for no reason.

Shen Qing’s heart suddenly leaped into his throat. “Senior Lin, did you help me hide it?”

Lin Zhian said, “The report from your last checkup is out. My student has already sent it to you and should be on the way. As for the tests you did before, I have already deleted them on my end. However,”

Before he could finish his sentence, the door on the other end sounded as if someone had kicked it open.

There was a loud bang, followed immediately by the busy signal of a disconnected call.

Shen Qing was stunned.

He scrambled out of bed. When he went out, he found the entire CEO’s office was empty and silent.

He grit his teeth and went to the assistants’ office.

Fortunately, except for Jiang Qin, the others were all there, especially the one who was easiest to get information from.

“Zhuang Jing, why is CEO Lu not in his office?”

Shen Qing pretended to be confused, acting as if he had just woken up and was simply asking around because the boss was missing.

When Zhuang Jing first joined the company, he had caused several minor problems that Shen Qing had helped resolve. Perhaps due to a fledgling’s instinct, Zhuang Jing was particularly attached to him and had no guard against him. Hearing the question, he blurted out without thinking, “CEO Lu went to the First Hospital to find Dr. Lin.”

The other assistants had been tense from the moment Shen Qing entered, but they were a step too late. Just as they were about to cover Zhuang Jing’s mouth, the big mouth had already said everything.

Seeing the expressions on the others’ faces, which looked as if the sky had fallen, Zhuang Jing realized his mistake too late. “That,” he licked his lips and stammered, “did I get into trouble again?”

The others did not speak, only looking at him with eyes that said, “You are finished.”

Shen Qing’s mind was in a mess. Just then, an unknown number called him.

The caller was the intern from the hospital, who had just been assigned to work under Lin Zhian. He was currently downstairs waiting for him.

As soon as Shen Qing went downstairs, he saw a bright and cheerful young man standing across the road. The man waved at him enthusiastically and smiled as he approached.

“You must be Mr. Shen? Dr. Lin asked me to give these things to you.”

Shen Qing took them and thanked him. “Thank you. Did you take a taxi here? I am sorry for the trouble. Let me reimburse your fare.”

The young man waved his hand and said with a smile, “No need, Dr. Lin already gave me money and even paid me an extra errand fee. By the way, you do not look well. You should go back and rest quickly.”

After saying that, he felt he had said the wrong thing. This was clearly an office building. There was no way to go back and rest. He would likely have to work like a beast of burden.

The young man showed a sympathetic gaze. “You still have to work even when you are sick.”

Perhaps because the young man’s expression was so vivid, Shen Qing laughed.

At his laugh, the young man’s face suddenly turned red. “That, Mr. Shen, do you want to cover your neck a bit?”

Shen Qing had not noticed, but the other party continued, “Your clothes are messy, and there is a mark on your neck.”

He spoke carefully, as if afraid of making Shen Qing unhappy.

Only then did Shen Qing notice that his clothes were disheveled and his collar had turned down.

His heart panicked. He was actually relieved that Lu Shijun was not by his side at this moment.

“Thank you. I did not notice it just now. It is a good thing you reminded me.”

The young man gave a bright smile again. “I saw you were intentionally wearing a high collar, so you must have wanted to hide it. By the way, you can buy concealer. It is waterproof and works very well. My girlfriend taught me.” He scratched his head. “You know, working in a hospital, if you show those kinds of marks, you will be scolded by the teachers.”

This was truly a huge help to Shen Qing, as he had originally planned to go buy more clothes.

“I will send you a red envelope as a thank you.”

The young man tried to decline, but Shen Qing had already added him on WeChat.

“Accept it. You have helped me a great deal.”
