My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 115
Chapter 115 Rong Jian who was Rejected
Mu Yu had not expected that Rong Jian was the person who led to Feng Rubing’s screams that sounded in the forensic lab!
At the same time, Rong Jian who was hugging Feng Rubing had not expected Mu Yu to walk in on them as well. He hastily let go of Feng Rubing and adjusted his slightly messy clothes while awkwardly providing an explanation to Mu Yu.
“S-Sister-in-law, we, I—”
“Get out!”
“Rubing, hear me out—”
“Leave!”
Rong Jian with his bloodshot eyes opened his mouth but no words came out. He gave her a deep stare and without glancing at Mu Yu, left with his head down. With a solemn look on his face, he walked past Mu Yu and went out of the forensic lab.
“Well… I am here to sweep the floor.”
Mu Yu awkwardly picked up a broom and kept her head down. When Mu Yu saw Feng Rubing keeping her silence, she also had no idea how to break the silence so she chose to keep quiet and lowered her head to focus on sweeping the floor.
“Mu Yu.”
“Ah?” Mu Yu was shocked and stopped in her steps to stare at Feng Rubing. She did not expect Feng Rubing to speak up all of a sudden.
“Regards to today’s incident…”
“I didn’t see anything! I swear!”
Feng Rubing did not continue with the conversation but merely turned around and calmly smiled at Mu Yu who was flustered. Then, she picked up a folder and passed it to Mu Yu. “These are detailed documents that I have gathered last night with regards to Zhao Yongli’s case. I forgot to pass it to Rong Jian just now so do me a favor and pass it over to him.”
“Well…” Mu Yu placed the broom down and took the folder. She hesitated and asked, “Madam Feng, is this the reason why you chose not to be a part of the task force…”
Then, she immediately realized it was a rather inappropriate question. She quickly came to a halt and stopped herself from asking if Madam Feng was avoiding Chief Rong. She had no idea Feng Rubing’s absence was not the only reason she could enter the task force; in fact, Qin Xiaozhi’s arrangement was the main reason why she got in.
“I am not feeling too well lately so I cannot push myself. Sorry for troubling you with the work,” Feng Rubing yawned and said with a haggard look.
“No worries, it’s not tiring at all.” Mu Yu shook her head in response, not surprised by Feng Rubing’s response. At the same time, she was rather anxious and said, “I am not worried about being tired, I am just worried I am unable to complete the tasks well.”
“Don’t worry, you can do it.”
“What if—”
“If you face any problems, give me a call.”
“Oh, alright. Thank you, Madam Feng.”
“You’re welcome.” Feng Rubing glanced at the clock on the wall and said, “It’s time you gather with the rest of the team.”
“Oh, alright. I will make a move then. Take care.”
“Mu Yu!”
“Ah?” Mu Yu stopped in her steps and turned around.
Feng Rubing did not look at Mu Yu’s eyes, instead she kept her head down and cleaned the table while saying in a soft voice, “Look for an opportunity to persuade Rong Jian to stop arguing with Director Xiao for no apparent reason. Let him know, he should be considerate toward his leaders and the problems they face.”
“Huh? Chief Rong is in an argument with Director Xiao? Why?”
“Rong Jian complained about the lack of manpower in the forensic lab. If he continues to bring this topic up, the bureau would definitely make it difficult for Doctor Nie and Doctor Dan.”
Mu Yu knew the forensic lab had two other forensic doctors, Nie Yunkang who was looking after her daughter as well as Shan Rui who was on maternity leave. Upon hearing that, she felt uneasy and said, “Are you saying that Chief Rong requested the bureau to allocate more forensic doctors to be a part of the forensic lab? Is it something wrong I did?”
Although Feng Rubing was still rather young, she had tremendous experience in the field and a strong reputation in the forensic medicine industry. It was not surprising to Mu Yu who had just stepped foot into the industry to feel that way after Rong Jian’s incident.
“It’s none of your business, don’t think too much and just stay focused on your job. It’s time for you to leave so you shouldn’t be late and hold the task force back.”
“Alright, I will make a move then.”
Mu Yu was in a rather solemn mood as she arrived at the lobby. However, when she saw that Liu Xiaofan was taking the attendance, she quickly dashed over.
Everyone introduced themselves and got ready to depart.
Just as Mu Yu was about to get into the car with everyone else, Rong Jian’s car pulled next to her and he said, “Doctor Mu, hop in my car.”
“Oh, alright.” Mu Yu was smart enough to understand Rong Jian had something to discuss with her. Similarly, she could pass him the folder given by Feng Rubing. Thus, she turned around and got into his car.
“Sister-in-law, today…”
“I didn’t see anything.”
Mu Yu knew he was going to provide an explanation for what happened today so she flashed him a smile. Then, she passed him the folder given by Feng Rubing and said, “These are the documents Madam Feng compiled with regards to Zhao Yongli’s case.”
“She requested for your help to pass it over to me?”
“Yes, she also informed me to pass you a message—”
“What did she say?” Rong Jian threw the folder to the passenger seat. He was about to ignite his engine but upon hearing what Mu Yu said, he immediately stopped and turned his back.
Mu Yu was shocked by his sudden eagerness. She stuttered and replied, “She said you should stop arguing with Director Xiao and leave it up to the bureau to deal with the human resource issues in the forensic lab.”
“Oh, that’s it?” Rong Jian turned his head around in disappointment and ignited his engine once more.
“Yup. Madam Feng said Forensic Doctor Nie and Shan are both dealing with certain issues and she’s afraid if you continue complaining, the bureau would order them both to return to work.”
“I am not requesting for the bureau to get them back to work. I merely requested for the bureau to hire a couple more forensic doctors. The entire lab is currently being managed by just you and Rubing, and it’s obvious that the workload is overwhelming. Rubing has always been in poor health and because she had to stay up all night, she ends up in the hospital every now and then.”
“Stayed up all night?” Mu Yu was surprised. The haggard and exhausted look of Feng Rubing flashed her mind, and she immediately asked, “Are you saying that Madam Feng stayed up all night yesterday? Didn’t she get off work earlier than me?”
“Yes, she did leave a short while before you but she was recalled back before she even got home. That’s because we managed to gather a few more evidence which needed some analysis.”
“Then why didn’t you inform me about this?”
“I was going to call you but Rubing said it wasn’t much work so she could handle it by herself. Who knew by the time she got things done it was already the next day.” Rong Jian did not hide his distress in his tone.
No wonder Feng Rubing had such a pale complexion.
Mu Yu was touched and extremely guilty as well. She said, “Chief Rong, if something like this happens again in the future, you must give me a call! An extra set of hands is always helpful!”
“Alright. By the way, did Rubing leave when you got out of the forensic lab?”
“Nope.”
“Oh.” Rong Jian kept quiet after that.
Mu Yu thought that he was planning to focus on driving but shortly after, he continued speaking. However, he was not speaking to her but he was giving Feng Rubing a call. “I have received the folder already. Since there is nothing much going on now, head back home and have a good rest. Remember to eat something before going to sleep. I would like to apologize for just now… Oh, alright. Goodbye.”
Rong Jian kept quiet after hanging up the phone.
Mu Yu saw the frown he had on his face through the rear-view mirror and it piqued her curiosity. She could not help but sit up straight and ask, “Chief Rong, didn’t you accompany Madam Feng last night as she stayed up to work over time?”
“She didn’t allow me. She said I would be a hindrance so she chased me out of the lab.”
“Couldn’t you have pretended to buy her supper and just stay behind in the lab?”
Rong Jian gave a bitter smile, “I did buy her supper which she rejected at first but eventually she accepted it. However, she took the food at the entrance of the lab and didn’t allow me to enter.”
Images of the scene which occurred this morning flashed through Mu Yu’s mind and she instantly felt sympathetic with Rong Jian. She did not have to question him any further as she was able to deduce that Rong Jian confessed but was rejected by Feng Rubing. However, Mu Yu simply had not expected Rong Jian to be so daring and took the initiative to hug Feng Rubing.
Based on what happened this morning, Feng Rubing was clearly not attracted to him and his love for her would be going down the drain.
Such a pity.
Mu Yu was concerned about Rong Jian so after some thought, she gently asked, “Chief Rong, how long have you been pursuing after Madam Feng?”
“Pursuing after her?” Rong Jian was stunned and then honestly replied, “I wouldn’t consider this as pursuing after her. After all she had rejected me all this time and never gave me any chance.”
“How long have you been in love with Madam Feng?”
“Should be a few years.”
“A few years?”
“Yup. I had fallen for her since the very first day she started working in the forensic lab.”
“Ah? If I am not wrong, Madam Feng has been working here for five years!”
“Then I have been in love with her for five years.”
Mu Yu was extremely shocked. “Oh my god! She rejected you for five years? Does she have a boyfriend? Or is she married?”
“She is still single and has not married as well.”
“Ah? T-then over the past five years, have you seen her hanging out with another man?”
“Nope.”
“Could it be she is a lesbian?” Mu Yu blurted out. Only then did she realize that it was something rather awkward.
However, Rong Jian did not seemed to be bothered by it and instead casually replied, “She is not a lesbian. It’s her personality issue whereby she does not like hanging out with others.”
Upon hearing so, Mu Yu could not help but ask, “How do you know she is heterosexual and not a lesbian?”
“Her younger sister told me.”
“Her younger sister?” Mu Yu burst out laughing. “Her younger sister actually told you that? Did her younger sister fancy you as her brother-in-law and hoped Madam Feng would marry you?”
Rong Jian awkwardly nodded his head and with a smile, said, “There were a couple of times that I paid Feng Rubing a visit when she would be home to which she shut me out. Her younger sister would always open the door for me and she was very welcoming. Not only did her younger sister reprimand Feng Rubing for treating me like this, she even encouraged me to not give up. She also expressed that she would do her best to help me successfully court her sister. Truth be told, if it wasn’t for Feng Rubing’s younger sister, I may have given up my feelings towards her.”
Out of curiosity, Mu Yu asked, “How old is her younger sister?”
“Qiqi is thirteen years old and is a very cute lolita.” Something suddenly struck Rong Jian’s mind and he said, “Did you know, Qiqi would address me as brother-in-law every single time we met and Rubing would always reprimand her for that.”
When Mu Yu heard Rong Jian bring up the word ‘brother-in-law’, Yin Anran came into her mind. She hesitated and asked, “Chief Rong, Huan has a close friend whose surname is Yin, do you know anything about her?”
A loud screeching sound of the tyres braking could be heard. Mu Yu couldn’t stop herself in time and smashed her head onto the back of the seat in front of her.
Rong Jian turned his head in a hurry and said, “Sister-in-law I am so sorry. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, what happened?” Mu Yu rubbed her head as she looked peered anxiously. She thought something had occurred to the vehicle.
“Oh, luckily you are fine. I was avoiding a passerby who was not abiding the traffic rules.” Rong Jian was afraid that Mu Yu would notice his unusual behavior so he randomly found an excuse to cover up. Then he slowly booted the car and mumbled, “Huan has a lot of friends. I don’t have a great memory thus I barely remember the names of his friends.”
“Oh.” Mu Yu did not doubt what Rong Jian said and kept quiet. In her heart, she was planning to pick another time to inquire about Yi Anran from Wen Zeyu.
Shortly after, they arrived at the entrance of Jin Tian building. From afar, both of them saw Wen Zeyu anxiously waiting for them at the entrance. Wen Zeyu also saw Rong Jian’s car turning in and ran over immediately from afar. Once the car came to a stop, he smacked on the window in a hurry and said, “Get down the car now! I have clues to the murderer!”
“Clues to the murderer? What clues?” Rong Jian was elated and hopped off the car without even removing his car keys. Mu Yu followed suit and got out of the car as well.
“Follow me.” Wen Zeyu dashed into the building.
Rong Jian and Mu Yu followed suit and ran after him.
