Chapter 5 – 500,000 Yuan check
Gu Ning didn't immediately act to get rid of the man, she observed the situation and waited for an opportunity.
Because the gun was currently pointed at the woman, Gu Ning knew that if she startled the man, he may accidentally fire and hit the doctor.
Gu Ning looked around before she saw a pile of cardboard boxes. She planned to hide behind them and wait for a good opportunity to approach the opposite party.
"Yang Hao you-you, what are you trying to do?" The woman trembled in fear as she stared at the gun the man's hand.
"Huh, what do you think I'm doing?" The man named Yang Hao snorted. Angry, he waved the gun at the frightened woman as he spoke again, "I've fallen to this state because of you, An Qian! You're asking me what I'm doing? If you hadn't reported me I wouldn't have been fired from the hospital and my wife wouldn't have run away with someone else! It's because of you, everything is your fault!"
Though An Qian was scared out of her mind, she subconsciously replied, "I did it because of your misconduct. As a doctor you not only don't have any medical ethics, you even accept red packets from the patients' families. I only acted to save human lives."
"SHUT UP! That was my business; you have no right to interfere in my matters!" Yang Hao seemed to be getting more and more agitated by the minute. Fiddling with the raised gun, he reigned in his rage and said, "Now, immediately transfer 5 million Yuan to my bank account or I'm going to shoot." (791,000 USD)
An Qian trembled as she spoke, "I don't have 5 million but I can give you 2 million." (316,400 USD)
"That's no good, I want 5 million. That cheap woman, she left me for 5 million, so I can only snatch her if I have 5 million as well." Yang Hao's expression was a bit excited, his hand was ready to make trouble as he frantically waved the gun again.
At this time Gu Ning finally made her way behind the boxes, arriving 2 meters behind Yang Hao. Seeing the man was becoming more and more excited, Gu Ning decided that it was best to wait until the man had calmed down a bit before taking him down.
Yang Hao's nerves were stimulated, he couldn't think straight anymore.
Not to mention that he would probably get arrested for his actions today, even if he managed to get 5 million, what waited for him was the law. He wouldn't have a chance to snatch his wife.
Even if there was an opportunity, his wife wouldn't want to follow him back.
If the other party can offer her 5 million, naturally they must have a substantial net worth. If she was such a greedy woman who would leave her husband for money, then she obviously wouldn't throw away the watermelon for a sesame seed!
Even if Yang Hao's wife didn't care about the watermelon, but Yang Hao was now a criminal. Even if she left with him for the 5 million, she wouldn't have a chance to put it to use.
Gu Ning felt a bit anxious as she stared at the excited Yang Hao, at this rate she wouldn't have a chance to take him down before he open fired.
However, An Qian was an intelligent woman. Seeing Yang Hao's agitation, she put away her rebuking manner and comforted him. "Okay, okay, 5 million. I'll get you 5 million. But I only have 2 million in my account; I'll have to contact a family member for the other 3."
So long as she could live, An Qian was even willing to pay 5 million.
Moreover, she didn't believe that Yang Hao would be able to escape the police with the actions he was taking currently.
Gu Ning, on the other hand, didn't think that Yang Hao would let off An Qian even if she paid him 5 million. He wasn't an idiot. If he let her go now, what would he do if she turned and called the police?
If that happened, Yang Hao would never be able to rest even if he got the money.
Hearing An Qian compromise, Yang Hao's mood relaxed by several points. "Good, but put your phone on speaker when you talk."
"Yes, yes." An Qian pulled out her phone from her pocket with trembling hands.
As An Qian was finally complying, Yang Hao couldn't help but subconsciously lower his tired arm.
However, this was the opportunity that Gu Ning had been waiting for. She rushed at Yang Hao and fiercely struck Yang Hao from the back. Because Yang Hao was off guard, he wasn't able to guard himself. Unable to stand against gravity, he fell to the ground and the gun that was loosely held in his hands fell.
Everything happened too suddenly. An Qian who was already frightened dropped the phone.
However, the matter hadn't ended yet, but the Yang Hao without the gun was no match for Gu Ning. Before he even had the chance to scream, Gu Ning knocked him out.
In the case that the man woke up, Gu Ning tied him up with rope she found lying around and gaged his mouth with a cleaning rag she had found.
"Are you not going to call the police?" Gu Ning asked An Qian whos brain had yet to catch up.
"Ah ah yes!" Snapping out of her stupor, An Qian picked up the phone from the ground.
However, before she could even press a single digit, her phone rang, scaring An Qian again.
Seeing the name of the caller, she quickly picked up. "Dad?"
"Qianqian, where are you?"
"I-I'm at on the room of the inpatient department." An Qian quickly narrated what had happened to her father. "Dad, should I call the police or should we settle it ourselves?"
Hearing An Qian, Gu Ning couldn't help but scrunch her eyebrows. She couldn't understand what An Qian was saying. Not only did she not report it to the police, she even wanted to settle it herself!
"First, are you alright?" As soon as he heard his daughter's story, An Qian's father felt as if his heart was going to jump out of his chest.
"I'm alright now dad." An Qian reassured.
"Wait for me, I'll come to you. Don't call the police." Hearing An Qian agree, her father immediately hung up.
Given Gu Ning's hearing abilities, naturally, she was able to hear what An Qian's father said. Puzzled, she asked An Qian, "Why don't you want to call the police?"
"If we report to the police, they'll show up at the hospital. If that happens, it'll scare the patients. It's not good for their health." An Qian answered.
Hearing that, Gu Ning had to agree.
An Qian spoke again, "But we'll still take Yang Hao to the police, but we'll do it more discretely. I recorded Yang Hao's ranting from before and the gun also has his fingerprints."
Recorded?
Gu Ning couldn't help but give the doctor another look. In that kind of situation, she remembered to record.
"Little sister, if it weren't for you, I'd probably be dead by now." An Qian expressed gratitude towards Gu Ning. She pulled out a check and a pen from her clothes. After scribbling something, she gave it to Gu Ning. "Little sister, I don't know how to repay you. This is a 500,000 Yuan, I hope you'll accept." (79,100 USD)
Looking at the check, Gu Ning knit her brows. Although she was very short on money, she was still unwilling to accept that check.
She had her principles. Since she took care of Yang Hao of her own initiative, she didn't want any rewards from the opposite party. Therefore she rejected, "I didn't save you to get a reward, take this back."
An Qian went blank. She didn't expect this.
However, she didn't doubt the other person. Since Gu Ning had turned down half a million, she could feel her sincerity.
