Price Of Passion (YiZhan) Ep1

A voice raised through the ER intercom, Doc Zhan.

Xiao Zhan

"Prep the OR! Severe lacerations on both wrists. 20-year-old male, unresponsive, probable suicide attempt!"

Nurse said "Vitals crashing. BP dropping fast. He’s lost a lot of blood!"

Xiao Zhan

"No time for hesitating. We save him, or he dies. Let’s go!" He bursts through the ER doors with gloves on, leading the gurney to operation room.

Meanwhile, outside of operation theatre. Wang Yibo and Lui Haikuan rushed with a dead body.

Wang Yibo

he enters with a covered body bag, face expressionless but jaw tense* "Murder victim. Female. Another one. Same reports."

Liu Haikuan

Behind Yibo, Haikuan feets rushed, his lips muttering. "This bastard’s getting bolder. Third one this week. Left her to rot in a parking garage."

Nurse (at reception) said to zhan in a relief manner. "Dr. Xiao is in surgery. Trauma wing. He’ll see the case after stabilizing a patient."

Wang Yibo

Yibo glances toward Zhan and his slightly leaning onto the recipient table, then the red light blinks above the door. "He saved the last one, right?"

Liu Haikuan

Haikuan grins slightly "Guy’s a miracle worker. Also, intense as hell." he leans in, whispering "do you think he’ll talk to you?"

Wang Yibo

"He’ll have to."

...

Xiao Zhan

Clamp the artery! We’re losing him again. Suction!"

Wang Zhuocheng

"I swear, Zhan, you’re gonna die before 35 if you keep this up." he locks eyes with him as he hands a suture needle "But you’ve got this. Just breathe."

Xiao Zhan

he breathes in slowly, focused "Almost there… pulse is stabilizing. Come on, kid… fight."

Xiao Zhan

he removes gloves, blood on forearms, face pale with exhaustion. "He’s alive. For now."

Wang Zhuocheng

he's grinning, arms crossed "Another soul dragged from death by Dr. Zhan. That’s one hell of a record."

Xiao Zhan

"They keep trying to die... I just keep sewing them back together."

Wang Yibo

Soon yibo approaching slowly, his eyes scanning Zhan. "You’re the attending Xy patients. You saved the suicide victim."

Xiao Zhan

Zhan turns towards him, his eyes narrowing "And you’re the one who keeps sending me corpses."

Liu Haikuan

Haikuan smiles widely, clapping his hands once "Ohh, I like this tension." he elbows Yibo lightly "He’s spicy. You sure you’re ready for him?"

Haikuan has always been a rotten mouth. And mostly childish.

Wang Yibo

Yibo ignores Haikuan, to Zhan "Did the boy say anything before he passed out? Names? Places?"

Xiao Zhan

Zhan shakes his head "He barely had a pulse. You want answers? Let him live first."

Wang Yibo

"Listen.. This case needs his statement-"

Wang Zhuocheng

Zhaucheng steps between them, his sharp voice as a brick, "If you want to bark orders, Officer Wang, do it outside my hospital."

Wang Yibo

Yibo stares at him, deadpan. Trying to scare him but nothing works "Noted."

Xiao Zhan

"He was… strange. Cold. But something in his eyes. I think He cares." Zhan texted him in midnight while sipping soup in a mug.

Wang Zhuocheng

"Yibo? Yeah. i think that too but- Stay careful. I don’t trust this city right now."

Xiao Zhan

"Neither do I. But something about this case… it feels personal."

At the same time, Yibo sat beside Haikuan, his head feels heavy.

Wang Yibo

"He’s efficient. Focused. But hiding something."

Liu Haikuan

sipping bubble tea smugly "And yet, you didn’t stop looking at him. Maybe you’re hiding something too."

Wang Yibo

"What would i'll be hiding from you?" he took a breath to calm his head.

Liu Haikuan

"I was just teasing.. You know me."

Wang Yibo

he gritted his teeth slightly. "I need that boy awake. We’re running out of time."
