Chapter 361: Chapter 361 Xiaosheng (9)

Ou Yanan.

Like Xiaosheng, the young doctor, although young, had already earned a good reputation in the hospital. Following Tang Sili meant he was excellent in his medical studies, and even if he couldn’t handle something, he could consult with Tang Sili. With this in mind, Fang Yongxing was guaranteed to be saved.

Tang Sili might not be the most likable person, but ultimately, his superb medical skills meant people had to turn to him for help.

This move of hers was a roundabout way to save the country.

Gu Nuan made up her mind, not letting herself think or worry about her brother, and immediately dialed Ou Yanan’s number.

Ou Yanan was one of the few people who knew her hearing wasn’t completely gone.

The long tones rang out, testing the limits of anyone’s patience. Suddenly, Gu Nuan felt a twinge of anxiety—what if he deliberately didn’t answer her call?

After all, why should he feel obliged to answer her call? They weren’t even friends.

As for being a doctor, what if he had finished his shift? Looking at the time, it was indeed the normal time to get off work.

As Gu Nuan’s mind was chaotically spinning, the call was suddenly picked up with a click.

"Miss Gu?"

On the other end, a voice with a hint of Gu Sheng’s accent came through, not addressing her as Mrs. Xiao like Tang Sili did.

Gu Nuan paused briefly before asking urgently, "Dr. Ou, it’s me. Are you in the hospital?"

"What? Are you in the hospital?" Ou Yanan sounded slightly surprised and, suspecting she was in the hospital and had called him, had reason to worry that she might have suddenly fallen ill. He pressed her, "How did you get to the hospital? Are you feeling unwell? Have you called Professor Tang?"

His barrage of questions left Gu Nuan somewhat stunned.

There was a trace of anxiety and tension in his voice that felt like concern. Or was it merely the worry of being scolded by Tang Sili, a doctor’s sense of responsibility?

As unrelated thoughts flashed through her mind again, Gu Nuan took a sharp breath and suppressed them. Just as she was about to deny it, she suddenly thought that doctors from different departments would likely want to avoid getting involved. If she was straightforward, he might back out like Tang Sili—after all, their relationship wasn’t close enough for him to feel obligated to help.

Seizing an opportunity, Gu Nuan said, "Yes, I haven’t had a chance to speak to Professor Tang yet. It doesn’t seem too serious, but I thought you could take a look at me first."

"What seems to be the problem?"

"Are you in the hospital? I’ll come to you."

"No, tell me where you are, and I’ll come to you."

Gu Nuan listened carefully and thought she could hear the sound of footsteps through the phone. He was moving, possibly just departed from the hospital entrance—now he was turning back.

This made Gu Nuan feel a twinge of guilt, but there was no other way given Fang Yongxing’s condition.

After telling him her location, it seemed Ou Yanan initially had no suspicions about the validity of her words.

It wasn’t until he took the elevator to the orthopedics department that Ou Yanan realized he might have been fooled. He was stunned by this revelation, finding it laughable that he was so oblivious to such an obvious trap, especially since he worked at the hospital and hadn’t recognized it immediately.

It could only mean that he was genuinely anxious when he received her call—anxiety so overwhelming that his mind could only focus on her, without considering anything else.
