An Eye for News Chapter 4
Se Cai
said quietly. Unsurprisingly, a golden flashed burst before him to reveal a
folder icon. Se Cai concentrated on the icon and it opened to the details on
the Blue Sky Rehab a.s.signment.
News
Lead: Received tip about Blue Sky Rehab’s illegal custody of its patients and
its involvement in causing intentional injury. Expose on the rehab will lead to
public awareness and pressure for shut down.
“It’s
you who have crossed me first. I don’t believe I can’t take you down with the
help of this Eye for News system!”
Se Cai
uttered through clenched teeth.
Se Cai
was raised in a single-parent family so he not a factious person, he only
became so determined because the Blue Sky Rehab’s people had him cornered. They
not only a.s.saulted him, they wanted him spiritually and professionally dead!
“Se
Cai!”
The
call of his name was followed by a string of rushed footsteps. Se Cai turned to
see Gao Xiang running towards him. He set down the thermos and implored
hurriedly, “Are you okay? I just came back from your attending doctor and
happened across a bunch of unpleasant looking people exiting your room.”
Trailing
behind Gao Xiang was a team of nurses who looked equally nervous.
“I’m…
fine. Just feeling a bit faint.”
Se Cai
breathed in deeply to calm himself, “Those were the people from Blue Sky Rehab,
they came to apologize.”
Se Cai
purposely kept his elaboration brief because there were too many unfamiliar
faces in the room, especially the doctor that Se Cai’s eyes eventually fell on.
“Nice
to meet you, Mr. Se. I’m doctor Wong, you’ve been transferred to us this
morning so let me first go through your medical report…”
The
doctor said as he habitually pushed the bridge of his spectacles upwards.
Thanks
to the clue provided by his mind-reading skill though, Se Cai was extremely
suspicious of this doctor.
Maybe
this was the doctor who had been bribed?
Se Cai
zeroed in on the doctor and yelled internally, “Activate mind-reading!”
“Sigh,
I wonder which powerful figure this poor guy has crossed that the president of
the hospital personally ordered me to surrept.i.tiously add small dosage of
dimethyl pyridine in his drop feed. Isn’t this just a set-up, the smell of that
chemical is so darn strong. O well, it’s all for the promise of a promotion…”
Se Cai
was stunned by this doctor’s inner thoughts. He tried activating his
mind-reading skill again to find out more about this dimethyl pyridine but a
warning issued in his mind.
“Failure
to activate mind-reading skill! Elementary mind-reading skill is limited to 2
usages per day. Please upgrade skill if the host wishes to increase usage
number.”
“d.a.m.n!
There’s limitation to things that I’ve paid for?!”
Se Cai
was so caught up in his inner turmoil that he didn’t notice the doctor that had
moved beside him.
“Mr Se?
Mr Se?”
Doctor
Wong frowned as he waved his hand in front of Se Cai. He jotted some
observations in the medical report before adding, “Mr Se, it doesn’t appear
that you suffer from any internal injury. The only thing worrying is the
concussion, it seems to be more serious than we suspect. I suggest you take a
CT scan and stay for an additional few days for observations. In the meantime, I’ll
prescribe you some brain supplements…”
“No.
That won’t be necessary. Look at me, I’m perfectly fine.”
Se Cai
said hurriedly after he heard the term supplements, “I was only temporarily
s.p.a.ced out. I’m feeling alright, you can even discharge me this moment.”
Even
though he had no idea what dimethyl pyridine was, he had no doubts that it was
something harmful and he wanted to have nothing to do with it.
“Se
Cai, stop kidding. You can’t possibly walk of the hospital like this!”
Gao
Xiang scolded sternly, “Your injury is not serious but since the director has
already given you leave, why the haste to leave the hospital? Listen to the
doctor, I’m sure doctor wong only wants what’s best for you. Why are you so
intent on going back to the life of a slave? You have to savor this golden
opportunity to rest…”
“Stop!
I’m serious, I want to leave this hospital now. There so many things waiting
for me to do, I don’t want to be the person responsible for bringing our whole
team down.”
Se Cai
confirmed in a tone that brook no argument.
If he
wasn’t privy to the trap that was waiting for him, Se Cai wouldn’t even dream
of leaving the comfort of his bed. Staying there spelt certain doom so he might
as well try his luck outside!
The
doctor wasn’t expecting Se Cai to be so adamant on leaving the hospital so he
fl.u.s.tered, “Mr. Se, I seriously do not advise you to leave the hospital with
your current condition…”
“Doctor,
you yourself said my physical’s a non-issue and my brain… well, it’s doing just
fine.”
Se Cai
smiled, tapping his head lightly.
“Well,
as fine as it could be with a mysterious future system bound to it…” was the
sentence that he didn’t finish.
“Se
Cai, you…”
Gao
Xiang stammered because he had not seen this side of his friend before.
Then, a
salacious smile crept to his face, “Now I understand. Bro, you’re still
thinking about our star anchorwoman right? I’ve said she wanted to thank you
personally when you’re discharged so you’re anxious to go on this date, isn’t
it…”
“F*ck,
what kind of person do you think I am?”
Se Cai
chastised him half-jokingly.
However
the mention of Zhang Xin Yu’s name did remind him of something. The gang of
thug wanted to mean her harm as well!
Se Cai
doubted they would really injure a woman, but in any case, it was necessary to
warn her.
Se Cai
couldn’t reveal all these before the doctor, so he only smiled lightly.
Gripping the rail of his bed, he feigned concern, “Aren’t we following the
County Beautification news? You’ll need my help to finish it. Surely I can’t
leave the whole a.s.signment to you.”
Gao
Xiang saw Se Cai’s determination so he sighed, “Fine, didn’t know you’re so
dedicated to the job. But please stay in the studio to do the paperwork, don’t
run outside w.i.l.l.y-nilly.”
Yes, Se
Cai was dedicated to his job but he had a completely different job in mind.
He was
ready to throw himself back into work, fully determined to begin the expose on
Blue Sky Rehab!
