197 Whether It’s Worth It or Not Isn’t up to You
Xie Shi’an looked haggard, as if he hadn’t slept well for a while. “Qianqian, I have something to tell you.”
Sang Qianqian followed him to a place where no one was around. “What is it?”
Xie Shi’an was in a daze for a long time before he said in a low voice, “Qianqian, you should give me that video. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome.”
Sang Qianqian stared at him for a moment before her lips curled up. “What video? Shi’an, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Xie Shi’an looked at her with a complicated expression. “Qianqian, Ruan Cheng knows what you asked when you hypnotized me. He installed a camera on my watch, and I… Only now did I just know.”
Sang Qianqian’s eyes narrowed, but after a moment, she calmed down. “So what happened yesterday morning wasn’t an accident? If you hadn’t appeared at that time, would I have been dead by now?”
Xie Shi’an was silent for a moment. “Qianqian, he said that as long as you don’t do anything with the video, he won’t hurt you.”
“But he almost killed Shen Hanyu.”
Sang Qianqian said word by word, “I will not give you this video.”
“Ruan Cheng is much scarier than you think.”
Xie Shi’an held her hand and said in an almost pleading tone, “Qianqian, he didn’t even fear Shen Hanyu, so he definitely won’t fear you. Listen to me, give me the video, and forget what I said. Don’t pursue the shooting, okay?”
Sang Qianqian pulled her hand away and smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. “Shi’an, I’m not even asking you to go to the police station to testify and accuse Ruan Cheng of being the murderer. But you’re asking me to forget what you said? Shi’an, is it really good for you to help the evildoer?”
Xie Shi’an took a deep breath. “Qianqian, don’t tell me that you’re going to hand the video over to the police.”
Sang Qianqian had wanted to say that her brother had already returned to Ming City to meet the police.
The words were about to come out of her mouth, but she changed her mind. “I haven’t decided whether to hand it over or not. Let me think about it carefully.”
She didn’t want to stay any longer. “I still have to go to work. I’ll leave first.”
Xie Shi’an looked at her back with a sad expression.
Before she could return to the office, Ruan Cheng called. His voice was light. “Shi’an, how’s it going?”
Xie Shi’an gritted his teeth. “She said she would consider it. Don’t worry, the video is still in her hands. She’s the only one who knows about it and she didn’t tell anyone.”
Ruan Cheng said lightly, “I don’t think she’ll listen to you. Why don’t I help you?”
Xie Shi’an’s expression changed. “Ruan Cheng, don’t do anything stupid. You said you would give me three days. Today is only the first day!”
Ruan Cheng smiled. “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to her. I’m just giving her some pressure.”

When Sang Qianqian was called to Director Miao’s office, she saw four or five people sitting in the room, all of them looking very serious.
Other than Department Director Miao, there were also the hospital’s Director, Deputy Director, Office Director, and so on.
She was slightly stunned, but didn’t say anything.
“Qianqian, why are you so silly?” Department Director Miao said with a pained heart. “You’re a doctor, you should know the taboos of a doctor. How could you do such a thing?”
Sang Qianqian was a little confused. “What did I do?”
Department Director Miao threw a few photos in front of her and sighed. “Look at these for yourself.”
In the photo, she took out the medicine and a syringe from her bag and injected it into Xie Shi’an’s wrist.
Sang Qianqian looked at the photos quietly without saying a word. Was this a warning from Ruan Cheng?
He had failed to get Xie Shi’an to ask for the video from her, and now this happened.
“This drug is used to hypnotize patients. You’re not a doctor from their department, so how did you get it? What do you want to do by using this drug on your colleague?”
The director’s face darkened. “Sang Qianqian, your actions have already violated the hospital’s rules for medical personnel. After some discussion, we have decided to suspend you for a week for further investigation. During your suspension, if you can’t give the hospital a reasonable explanation, the hospital will have no choice but to announce your actions to the entire industry and fire you.”
Sang Qianqian’s face turned pale.
The dismissal notice announced by the entire industry would be filed and registered within the government’s Medical Management Department.
That would mean she would have no chance to become a doctor again in the future. No hospital would dare to accept her again.
Even if the hospitals under the Sang family’s name were willing to hire her, she would have to risk being reported and investigated at any time, which would bring trouble to the Sang family’s hospital for no reason.
Ruan Cheng was really ruthless.
“Qianqian, go back and think about it. Talk to Dr. Shi’an as well. Just admit what you’re wrong about, it’s not something embarrassing.”
Department Director Miao said earnestly, “You have to write a detailed report to the hospital. Don’t make a mistake and ruin your career prospects.”
Sang Qianqian had completely calmed down and smiled faintly, “Alright,” she said.
After taking off her white coat, Sang Qianqian walked out of the hospital building. Xie Shi’an was waiting for her at the entrance.
He stepped forward silently and said in a hoarse voice, “Qianqian, just give me the video. Don’t leave anything behind and don’t hand the video to the police. I’ll get Ruan Cheng to contact the hospital so that you won’t be fired. I’ll also cooperate with you and write a statement. Then, this matter can be resolved.”
Sang Qianqian stopped in her tracks. Behind her, there was a parasol tree that had lost all its leaves. The branches that stretched across the sky outlined a sense of alienation and coldness.
Her gaze turned cold. “Shi’an, even if I can never be a doctor again, I will never give you this video.”
“Qianqian, why do you have to do this?”
Xie Shi’an looked at her, his heart aching. “It’s not worth it.”
Having known Sang Qianqian for so many years, he knew how much she loved the medical profession and how much she hoped that she would be able to achieve something in this field.
Being a doctor wasn’t only her dream and pursuit for many years, but it was also the direction she wanted to devote her life to.
Xie Shi’an knew very well how much she had invested in this profession.
A gust of wind with a bone-piercing chill blew past, and Sang Qianqian’s light but firm voice fell with the wind.
“Xie Shi’an, whether it’s worth it or not isn’t up to you. If I think it’s worth it, then it’s worth it.”

It wasn’t even noon yet, but Sang Qianqian didn’t go home right away.
Ever since she came to the capital, she had been either going to work or going home to study. She had never really taken a good look at the city.
She didn’t really want to take a car, so she just walked slowly on the street.
She suddenly missed Wen Xu.
In the past, whenever Wen Xu was in a bad mood, he would go on a rampage. At that time, Sang Qianqian would always accompany him, and when he was done, his mood would really be much better.
She didn’t know how long she had been walking. Her face was red from the wind, but she didn’t feel cold.
A car had been following her from behind and stopped in front of her when she tried to cross the road.
The car window rolled down, revealing Shen Hanyu’s handsome and well-defined face.
The man’s face was as calm as water, and no emotions could be seen. He looked at her indifferently. “How long do you plan to walk?”
