Chapter 36: All Kept for Observation!
“Alright, alright, the bodyguards can stay, but you need to leave immediately!”
Fang Xiaocao said with a cheeky smile.
Zhi Qi rolled her eyes at Fang Xiaocao, waved her hand, and got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom driven by her bodyguards.
Watching Zhi Qi leave, Fang Xiaocao picked up her phone and tried sending a message to “Hot Noodles.”
“Are you okay?”
After typing the message, she hit send.
Since her situation was now resolved without harm, thanks to Zhi Qi’s timely arrival, she assumed Hot Noodles should be fine too.
Seeing the “Message Sent” notification, Fang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally! No more ‘contact does not exist’ errors!
Ding-dong!
Her phone chimed almost instantly.
Fang Xiaocao hurriedly checked the reply.
[Hot Noodles]: Miss, can you stop causing trouble?
[Hot Noodles]: If you keep this up, I’m going to die!
Hot Noodles sent two messages back-to-back.
“Hehe, I was just trying to save someone~”
Fang Xiaocao replied with a guilty-looking sticker.
Seeing Hot Noodles’ reply, Xiaocao knew she was fine.
If something had really happened, she would definitely be cursing her out.
[Hot Noodles]: You got to play the hero, but I suffered for it.
Hot Noodles continued to complain, criticizing her reckless behavior.
“Alright, alright, I know I was wrong.”
Fang Xiaocao quickly softened her tone and apologized.
[Hot Noodles]: Fine, I forgive you. But seeing Zhi Qi today reminded me of something. Once you’re done handling your situation, I’m going to look up some old news articles.
Reading this, Fang Xiaocao paused.
“Zhi Qi?”
“What about Zhi Qi?”
Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself, puzzled.
She quickly sent a message.
“What do you mean about Zhi Qi?”
However, this time, there was no response.
Just then, a commotion erupted near the elevator.
Fang Xiaocao turned to look and saw Wang Qiang and his colleagues escorting Shen Tao, Han Xue, and the security guards out of the elevator.
As they passed by, Shen Tao and Han Xue shot Fang Xiaocao a venomous glare.
Instinctively, she took two steps back, wary that Han Xue might lose her mind and attack her.
Seeing her reaction, the bodyguard who had stepped on Shen Tao’s face earlier immediately stepped forward, shielding Fang Xiaocao behind him while glaring coldly at the two.
“Behave yourselves!”
Wang Qiang’s stern warning immediately broke the tension.
“Load them into the car!”
He ordered his officers.
“Yes, sir!”
The officers responded and shoved Shen Tao and Han Xue into the police vehicle.
“Xiaocao, you and your friends need to come to the station to give a statement,” Wang Qiang said.
“Understood,” Fang Xiaocao replied softly.
“Is she alright?”
Wang Qiang glanced at Wen Shi, who was still unconscious.
“I think she was drugged,” Fang Xiaocao said worriedly.
“Anyone else injured?”
Wang Qiang’s brows furrowed.
“Yun Luoshu was beaten while resisting. I got kicked once. Su Wanqing was also knocked down.”
Fang Xiaocao reported honestly.
“Alright, I’ll assign an officer to accompany you all to the hospital for a full examination. If there are any injuries, we’ll document them for the case.”
Wang Qiang said solemnly.
“Okay.”
Fang Xiaocao nodded.
“I’ll take these suspects back to the station first,” Wang Qiang said before leaving with his team.
After they departed, Fang Xiaocao and her friends got into Zhi Qi’s bodyguards’ car and headed straight to the hospital.
As soon as they arrived, before Fang Xiaocao could explain, the bodyguard who had stepped on Shen Tao’s face immediately sought out the hospital’s director, demanding top-tier medical attention for the four of them.
For departments with no available doctors, a single phone call was enough to summon the best specialists back to work overtime. Even the hospital director personally came to oversee the process.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao couldn’t help but marvel.
“The Zhi Qi family’s influence is really something else.”
Even the hospital director had to run around organizing everything just for the four of them.
Special treatment was granted, and results came in at lightning speed.
What would normally take a whole day, they managed to complete in just an hour.
When the examinations were over, before Fang Xiaocao could even ask, the bodyguard and hospital director had already reached a conclusion.
“Wen Shi and Yun Luoshu need to be kept for observation.”
“All the necessary medical documents have been prepared to hold those security guards accountable.”
The hospital director said as he handed over the reports to the bodyguard.
The bodyguard, however, frowned.
“What about them?” He gestured toward Fang Xiaocao and Su Wanqing.
The hospital director was momentarily stunned before he understood what the bodyguard meant.
He quickly reviewed the reports again.
Seeing that Su Wanqing had sustained a minor head injury, the director’s eyes lit up.
“Su Wanqing hit her head when she fell. There’s mild swelling, so I can diagnose a minor concussion and recommend hospitalization for observation.”
He said with a grin.
The bodyguard nodded. “That works.”
“And Miss Fang?”
The bodyguard turned to Fang Xiaocao.
The director hesitated. Fang Xiaocao’s report was perfectly normal—there was nothing he could manipulate.
But the bodyguard simply said, “Just write ‘internal bleeding’ and keep her for observation.”
The director nodded and followed instructions.
Once everything was arranged, the four girls were wheeled into a shared hospital room.
The bodyguard took the hospital’s official reports and left for the police station with Wang Qiang’s officer.
Inside the hospital room, Su Wanqing chuckled.
“Xiaocao, that Miss Zhi Qi is so cool!”
“Her bodyguards alone can command the hospital director. That’s beyond cool!”
Su Wanqing rambled excitedly as if she were the one with all the power.
“But… are we really going to be okay?” Yun Luoshu asked hesitantly.
“Don’t worry, we have hospital records.”
Fang Xiaocao reassured her.
“That’s good…”
Yun Luoshu still seemed nervous.
“Relax! If the bodyguard and the director were willing to arrange this, they must be confident in handling everything.”
Su Wanqing waved her hand dismissively.
“Yeah, Husky’s got a point.”
Fang Xiaocao nodded in agreement.
“FANG XIAOCAO!”
Su Wanqing instantly flared up.
“If you call me a Husky one more time, I swear I’ll bite you!”
Hearing this, Fang Xiaocao quickly raised her hands.
“Hey, hey, calm down! Don’t forget—you have a concussion!”
