Price Of Passion (YiZhan)
Ep2
In the Evening, Shennai General Hospital.
It was quite except of few people husted footsteps.
Wang Yibo
Yibo pushing open the door, his voice low but sharp "You’re her attending doctor?"
Xiao Zhan
Zhan turns around slowly, holding a clipboard "She was admitted two nights ago. Found in a drain, drugged, disoriented. Extreme trauma signs-"
Xiao Zhan
he tried not to show his unnecessary frustration. "Why are you here at this hour, Officer Wang?"
Wang Yibo
he walks up beside the bed where a fragile girl lies, trembling even in her sleep. "Because she’s our only living survivor. The bastard left her alive for a reason."
Wang Yibo
"I need to question her before the trail goes cold."
Xiao Zhan
Zhan quickly steps in front of Yibo, blocking the way "No. She’s in no condition for interrogation. She screams when the lights flicker. She flinches from her own reflection-"
Xiao Zhan
"You know she's so traumatize.."
Wang Yibo
His voice rising slightly, frustrated "And while we coddle her, the rapist is free to take someone else. Maybe a kid next time. Maybe another corpse on my desk." he paused. "She could end this. If she remembers anything..."
Xiao Zhan
zhan shakes his head before cuts him off firmly, "This isn’t about what you need, Officer Yibo. It’s about what she needs. And right now, she needs to feel safe- not interrogated by a man in uniform." He said and pointed towards his hard uniform clothing.
Wang Yibo
His expression darkens, he steps closer, towering over Zhan. "This isn’t personal, Doctor. This is my Job."
Xiao Zhan
Zhan takes a bold step forward, eyes defiant. "And I don’t care. You want her alive to talk? Then let me do my 'Job'. You touch her now, you lose her forever."
Wang Zhuocheng was behind the curtain, fidgeting inside the drawer.
Wang Zhuocheng
"Whoa. Testosterone’s thick in here. Should I get a tranquilizer for one of you?" Said to both of them, but didn't look.
Xiao Zhan
"I said no questions. Not yet." to Yibo.
Wang Yibo
he sighs through clenched teeth "You're protecting her more than your own staff."
Wang Zhuocheng
He smirks before giving a full nod. "That’s because he doesn’t like people who point guns where healing is needed."
Xiao Zhan
"Come back in two days. Maybe she’ll be able to speak. If not, you’ll wait longer." he just said and made yibo leave.
Wang Yibo
His fist clenched, silent for a second "You better hope she can talk then." he turns, walks out without another word
Outside Hospital, Haikuan is waiting, leaning against a police SUV, sipping coffee. He thought it would take longer but Yibo returned quickly.
Liu Haikuan
"So? Did Doctor Perfect give you what you wanted?"
Wang Yibo
"No. He’s protecting her like she’s glass."
Liu Haikuan
"You know what your problem is? You’re trying to punch your way through a locked door instead of asking for a key...He’s not your enemy, Yibo. You two are just doing your work."
Liu Haikuan
"Maybe she's really scared." Talking about the patient.
Wang Yibo
"So am I. I’m scared of what happens if I don’t stop this guy."
he put on his seatbelt before diving away. "And of how powerless I felt in that room."
Liu Haikuan
"Then maybe… start by listening next time.."
Xiao Zhan Texted Zhuocheng in night.
Xiao Zhan
"He came at her like a hammer. I nearly lost it."
Wang Zhuocheng
"He doesn’t know how to feel. Or ask. That’s why he comes in like a bulldozer."
Wang Zhuocheng
"But now i think, he must be desperate."
Xiao Zhan
"Desperate men make mistakes. This girl… she’s not just evidence. She’s broken. Like I was."
Xiao Zhan
"I won’t let anyone use her as a mere evidence."
Haikuan texted Yibo just after reaching his home.
Liu Haikuan
"Yibo, let's not rushed alright."
Wang Yibo
"Alright.. I can do that.👍🏻"
