Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 241 Women, Oh Women

Who is Mimi?

"How could anyone be named Mimi?"

A crowd of people discussed it curiously.

Then they saw a cat squeeze through the crowd, rush to the ambulance, and nimbly leap into the window.

The ambulance drove away, leaving behind only a magical legend about a cat saving a person.

Even later, the surveillance video from the internet cafe was leaked, and everyone saw the cat rushing to the front desk to dial 120 in a split second. This scene shocked many people, and their interest in keeping cats inexplicably grew stronger.

Of course, this is a story.

Lin Ge sat quietly on the nurse's lap, turning his head to watch the young doctor nervously treating Wang Jun.

The initial diagnosis of hyperventilation syndrome was quickly ruled out by the doctor. Especially as Wang Jun's heart rate continued to drop, the young doctor's expression became increasingly grave, and the various instruments in the ambulance began to beep frantically.

The nurse who had been happily holding Lin Ge earlier now had to get up and help. Seeing this, the driver silently sped up and began weaving through traffic, just to gain that precious little bit of time.

Lin Ge could only watch helplessly as the atmosphere inside the car became extremely tense and oppressive.

He never imagined that spending too much time online and being overly emotional could bring a young man to the brink of death. Human life is always more fragile than anticipated, and now all he could do was pray for Wang Jun's safety.

Time flew by, yet seemed to drag on. With a wailing siren, the ambulance quickly arrived at the city's central hospital.

A large group of doctors in white coats were patiently waiting at the entrance of the emergency room. As soon as the ambulance stopped, the crowd rushed forward and hurriedly pushed Wang Jun into the emergency room.

There was no hesitation, no obstruction; all movements were fluid and efficient, tense yet orderly. Judging from this scene, the doctors at the city's central hospital were quite reliable, and Wang Jun's life should be saved. Lin Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

His efforts to save someone were worthwhile.

Soon, when Lin Ge slowly got out of the car, only one person in a white coat was left at the entrance of the emergency room.

"Director Yang!"

The nurse timidly greeted Yang Xiaotong, then stole a glance at the cat that was staring at Yang Xiaotong, and suddenly felt that she shouldn't be here.

So she bowed slightly, turned around, and ran into the emergency room, leaving Lin Ge standing at the door facing off against Yang Xiaotong.

"You actually know how to call me?"

Yang Xiaotong stared at Lin Ge with a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, it was hard to tell whether she was expressionless or smiling. But it has to be said that, wearing a white coat, she inexplicably lacked the aloofness she had in her everyday clothes, and even made Lin Ge feel a little more approachable.

"Ow!"

Lin Ge called out in response.

"Hmph! Come with me!"

Yang Xiaotong didn't seem to understand, she just hummed a nasal sound and turned to walk into the hospital.

Lin Ge obediently followed.

The nurse at the front desk saw a cat come in, but since it was being led by Director Yang, she didn't dare stop it. She watched helplessly as the cat went up the elevator with Yang Xiaotong, and then quickly shared this big news with her colleagues in the WeChat group.

On the other side, Lin Ge followed Yang Xiaotong to the thirteenth floor.

This was Yang Xiaotong's domain. After she entered the office, she sat down, turned her chair around, and stared at Lin Ge without blinking, making Lin Ge feel a chill down his spine.

Lin Ge couldn't help but want to run away; the woman's aura was simply too strong.

However, Yang Xiaotong quickly smiled and said, "Mimi, thank you so much for what happened last time. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how much harm Yining would have suffered! Zhang Yong is a bastard, thankfully you were there to protect Yining."

Oh, so you came to express your gratitude.

Only then did Lin Ge realize why Yang Xiaotong had called him up. He breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but wag his tail to relax.

Furthermore, he didn't need Yang Xiaotong's gratitude; after all, Zhang Yining was one of the youngsters he cared about. How could Lin Ge, who was willing to help even strangers save lives, possibly turn a blind eye to the harm done to someone he knew?
"Aww!" Lin Ge let out another howl, telling Yang Xiaotong that this was all things that should be done, and there was no need to express special thanks.

Yang Xiaotong genuinely smiled this time, her beautiful appearance startling Lin Ge. He hadn't expected this woman, hidden behind her cold demeanor, to possess such a captivating smile. Zhang Yong was indeed blessed; Zhang Yining also had a wonderful mother.

There's no need to keep expressing gratitude verbally. Yang Xiaotong shifted her posture, crossed her legs, and looked at the collar around Lin Ge's neck, saying, "By the way, how does the new collar feel? Oh, and there's a function I haven't told Zhang Yong about, and nobody else knows either. If you turn the ratchet on the back of the collar one full turn clockwise, half a turn counterclockwise, and then half a turn clockwise again, you can disable the tracking system and call permissions. Once disabled, no one else will know where you are or be able to call you. This mode is suitable for when you're performing tracking missions or have personal matters to attend to. It's a small upgrade that fits your profession. They say cats love freedom, and I believe you'll like it."

Lingo was overjoyed.

He never expected that the collar would have such a function, and wasn't this exactly what he had always wanted?
Yang Xiaotong took out her phone, and Lin Ge followed her instructions to turn the ratchet. Sure enough, the call stopped coming in. Yang Xiaotong kept getting the message "The number you dialed is currently busy," while Lin Ge didn't get any response at all.

However, by turning the ratchet one more turn, the flight mode would be instantly deactivated, and Yang Xiaotong's call would soon be successfully connected to Lin Ge's collar.

"That's it! You're really smart, your intelligence is nothing like a cat's."

Yang Xiaotong concealed the surprise in her eyes, casually saying something before changing the subject: "By the way, has Jiang Yan contacted you again since you came back? Let me tell you, from now on, no matter what she gives you, you have to report it to me honestly, understand? You know that we've both benefited from our affair, so don't take advantage of it and not do any work. If you dare to hide anything, you'll regret it!"

She poked Lin Ge's head with a ballpoint pen, and only stopped with a cold laugh when she saw his impatience. She waved for Lin Ge to find a place to squat, saying they would go home together to cook after she finished get off work, and then Yang Xiaotong continued her busy work as a doctor.

Her task today was to work in the outpatient clinic, which would take up the entire afternoon.

Being a doctor is an incredibly busy profession. It wasn't until the clinic closed at 6 PM that Yang Xiaotong finally had a moment to get up and move around. She rubbed her lower back with some difficulty, yawned, and went to the restroom.

Whether she was always this busy or there were just more patients today, this woman had managed to stay awake for four or five hours straight this afternoon, without moving or even having time to go to the bathroom. She only just finished all the registrations, and the intensity of her work astonished Lin Ge.

I always thought that being a police officer was a very tough job and that people were prone to sudden death, but I never imagined that being a doctor was just as difficult.

After taking off her white coat, Yang Xiaotong made a phone call to the inpatient department to inquire about the accommodations of the patients admitted that day and made detailed arrangements for their examinations and medications. It took another half hour before she finally finished her shift.

"Let's go pick up the package first. The swimming crabs I ordered should have arrived. We'll steam them at home tonight."

Yang Xiaotong yawned as she went downstairs, greeting her fellow doctors who were also leaving get off work along the way.

Interestingly, almost all the doctors left work half an hour to an hour later than their scheduled end time, and almost everyone was rubbing their lower backs and yawning as they walked. Even in the less busy departments, someone was rubbing their neck, showing signs of discomfort. They jokingly asked the massage therapists next door for a massage, only to be met with disdain. Judging from the way the massage therapists looked, barely able to lift their arms, they were probably the ones who needed massage therapy the most. When these people saw Yang Xiaotong, they all greeted her, clearly showing a significant difference in status among the same group of doctors on duty.

"Oh! Dr. Yang, is this your cat?"

A bald, middle-aged man who was also the head of a department greeted Yang Xiaotong with a smile, and then noticed the cat following behind her.

Animals are a rarity in hospitals. In strictly managed hospitals, if even one animal is let in, everyone from the lobby manager to the door nurse will be punished. Of course, rules are rules, but people are flexible. The reason patients aren't allowed to bring animals into the hospital is to avoid cross-infection and accidents caused by uncontrolled pets. As for doctors who work long hours and have no one to care for their pets at home, they usually turn a blind eye to it.

"How is it? It looks pretty good, doesn't it?"

Yang Xiaotong glanced back at Lin Ge, neither denying nor denying, but boasting, "Director Zhao, let me tell you, my cat is incredibly smart! It can not only understand what we're saying perfectly, but it can even help my husband, Lao Zhang, solve cases. It's a permanent employee at the police station."

"Wow! That's really something!"

Director Zhao sighed, then smiled and said, "By the way, Dr. Yang, there's something you need to address. It's about the dinner party mentioned in the group chat. It's for the elites from various departments to get together and build relationships. It's not good for you to always decline these gatherings, is it?"

Yang Xiaotong's eyes flashed, and she continued with a smile, "Director Zhao, how could I possibly have time for a get-together! My husband at home is useless; he doesn't even know how much salt to put in fried rice. Plus, I have a daughter and this little darling at home. Do you think I have any time to relax even after get off work? Of course, I know that everyone in our internal medicine department is an elite, and we're all very united, right? So my absence won't make a difference. Please bear with me."

After being told that, Director Zhao had no choice. He couldn't very well expect a mother and wife to abandon their husbands and daughters to attend a gathering, could he? Besides, Yang Xiaotong didn't usually interact with others much, so he just laughed it off and changed the subject.

"Humph!"

Once inside the parking lot and in the car, Yang Xiaotong, who had been smiling the whole time, finally let out a muffled groan, her face showing utter exhaustion. "Phew... I'm so tired! That old codger who only knows how to resort to underhanded tricks! He thinks he can fight against the outside world just because he has his subordinates under his thumb? Humph! He has neither medical ethics nor skills, yet he dares to form factions in a place like a hospital. One medical accident and he'll be ruined! It's really... a real headache! Why can't they replace him with someone truly capable? Or at least someone who doesn't cause trouble..."

Yang Xiaotong muttered to herself, her demeanor completely different from her polite and smiling appearance outside.

However, Lin Ge could tell that perhaps the weakened woman in the car now, and the woman who argued with Jiang Yan, were her true selves. Or rather, as a strong woman, a chief physician in her thirties, a wife, and a mother, Yang Xiaotong carried a lot of pressure. She needed to do all her job duties well, and take care of her husband and daughter, and only in the confined space of the car did she dare to secretly reveal her fatigue and dejection.

"If you dare tell anyone, I'll kill you!"

Yang Xiaotong glared fiercely at Lin Ge.
