Finally, after a while, the call went through, and Doctor Cheng's anxious voice emerged: "Teacher Cao, they said there's a tricky emergency pediatric case. I told Sanbao to wait for the general surgery doctor to come down to the ER. Now I hear they've taken the kid somewhere else."
Cao Zhao, with one hand in his lab coat pocket, walked with his head down, holding the phone to his ear. Hearing the questioning tone of his subordinate, a slight smirk flickered across his brow.
Maybe this subordinate of his wanted to trap him into saying something, but ended up being incoherent himself.
The superior remained silent. Doctor Cheng realized he had misspoken and respectfully adjusted his tone: "Teacher Cao, have you returned from the meeting?"
In the afternoon, Cao Zhao had gone to a meeting. When Student Duan sought him out, he could only text Teacher Cheng for inquiries.
