Chapter 374 - 374 366 The Ungrateful One
?Chapter 374: Chapter 366: The Ungrateful One Chapter 374: Chapter 366: The Ungrateful One Affiliated Hospital, the old lady panicked after receiving a call from the security guard.
Old Man Li had just fallen asleep after getting an injection and taking his medicine, and the old lady had dozed off next to him in her chair. The other awake patients in the room were discussing the changing weather outside in hushed voices, but when they saw a tree being brought down by the wind, someone couldn’t help but let out a loud sound of surprise. The old lady woke up because of their startled sounds, and so did Old Man Li.
After seeing the weather outside, both elders became visibly unsettled, especially Old Man Li. The first thing he thought of was that Xiao Hua was still tied up near the guard room. With the wind howling and rain pouring, what would happen to Xiao Hua!
Before the old lady could make a call, the security guard called them first. The old lady had left her number with the security guard, so as soon as he saw Xiao Hua run away, he quickly called to inform her of the situation.
Xiao Hua running away made the elders very anxious, but thinking that Xiao Hua had run off following the cat from Teacher Xiao Jiao’s household provided some relief. A few days ago, when Xiao Hua was injured, it was Teacher Xiao Jiao’s cat that had taken Xiao Hua to the Pet Center for treatment. Xiao Guo had told the elderly couple about this, and Old Man Li had even called Professor Jiao to express his thanks. Privately, Old Man Li had told the old lady: The person is good, and the cat he raises is also good.
However, given the bad weather outside, Old Man Li couldn’t rest easy. He asked the old lady to hand him the phone, and he directly called Mr. Jiao.
Mr. Jiao, who was in his office organizing a lecture, saw the incoming call and picked up immediately. Although Old Man Li, a retired professor from the Life Science Institute who specialized in plants, didn’t have much overlap with Mr. Jiao’s area of expertise, the professors at the institute still respected Old Man Li a lot, which is why Mr. Jiao didn’t think twice before answering.
“Hello, Teacher Xiao Jiao, has your cat returned home?”
Old Man Li briefly explained the situation at the hospital, and after thinking for a moment, Mr. Jiao said, “I’m currently at the office, let me make a call and ask.”
“Thank you, Teacher Xiao Jiao. If you have any news, please call me back.”
After hanging up, Mr. Jiao called home.
Normally, Zheng Tan would pick up the phone if he were at home and saw the familiar number on the caller ID, but the call went unanswered for quite some time. Mr. Jiao glanced at the weather outside, frowned, and then called Jiao Wei’s parents and Feng Baikin to ask about it, but Feng Baikin told him that Zheng Tan had left early.
While Mr. Jiao and Old Man Li were searching for Zheng Tan and Xiao Hua, these two were actually taking shelter from the rain in a convenience store.
