Chapter 39 You Chase Me and I Run Away
After get off work, Xu Yingdong stayed in the laboratory for another hour and a half before leaving. He took off his white coat, changed into his usual clothes, and walked out of the hospital gate quickly.
Judging from his appearance, Xu Yingdong has a tall figure and is well-dressed. He is a young man with a fashionable spirit. If you hadn't seen him in the hospital, no one would have thought that he is already an internationally renowned hematologist.
Xu Yingdong has been determined to study medicine since he was young, and he has been getting closer to his goal with excellent grades. In terms of professional choice, many powerful mentors advised him to choose surgery, which is easier to achieve success and fame, but he seemed to have chosen hematology very early, and then he became a specialist doctor without any surprise. During the exchange and study abroad, he quickly attracted the attention of the industry. He could have easily stayed in those well-known international medical centers, but he resolutely chose to return to China. Of course, the first-class hospitals in China also extended olive branches to him. The reason why he finally chose the First Hospital of the City was that the hospital leaders agreed to approve a laboratory with complete facilities for his exclusive use.
Young talents like him naturally faced many temptations, including beauties and money, but his life had always been simple - he was either working or on the way to work. Many senior and junior students who had pursued him unsuccessfully said half-jokingly and half-complainingly after hitting a snag that the famous doctor Xu seemed to be marrying his beloved blood virus. Now it seemed that there was really such a trend...
The apartment where Xu Yingdong lives is not close to the First Municipal Hospital, about five or six kilometers away. However, he never drives, but walks to and from get off work. Xu Yingdong likes to walk briskly over long distances, and he believes that this process can allow him to think more attentively.
The road from the hospital to the apartment is almost the most prosperous area in the city. There are shops, large shopping malls and amusement parks along the way, so there are many children laughing and talking. When Xu Yingdong sees them, he will occasionally smile unconsciously, but sometimes he will subconsciously regard himself as an "ominous" person, and quickly avoid them when he sees them rushing towards him.
Today, as usual, it was dark when Xu Yingdong left the hospital. He lowered his head slightly, thinking about the little girl who had just been admitted to the hospital.
Because he is serious most of the time, Xu Yingdong is labeled as "cold". Only he knows that this is actually an occupational disease or occupational habit. In this professional medical practice, he has seen too many separations and deaths. If he really wanted to cry and laugh with the patients, he would probably have collapsed long ago. So he can only force himself to be numb.
Wu Doudou suffers from a typical acute leukemia, which is highly malignant. Although there are examples of cure, it cannot be used as a general clinical reference. With the development of modern medicine, the most dangerous liver cancer and lung cancer have been gradually conquered. Even in the late stage, as long as the right method is used, there is still a chance of cure. However, Wu Doudou's disease is still a helpless executioner for most families. Xu Yingdong has been doing a new experiment recently, with little progress, but as long as Wu Doudou's family members do not give up easily, he is willing to fight with this girl.
Xu Yingdong was thinking about the next treatment plan and several unexpected possibilities all the way. He left the main road and turned into a small alley. The purpose of doing so was not to take a shortcut, but to enjoy the quietness here.
A heavy sound of footsteps followed closely behind Xu Yingdong, which finally caught his attention.
Ever since he could remember, Xu Yingdong found that nothing within a radius of 200 meters could escape his ears and nose. In other words, within 200 meters, no matter if you were whispering, your stomach was growling, or even if you farted so lightly that only you knew about it, Xu Yingdong could hear and smell it clearly. He will never forget the time when he was sitting in a classroom at the end of the corridor and heard his head teacher whispering about the principal's gossip with other teachers in the office at the other end of the corridor . When he asked other classmates for confirmation, that classmate had a confused look on his face.
Yes, it took Xu Yingdong a longer time to realize that others did not have the same abilities as him.
When Xu's parents were called by the teacher for his various strange behaviors, his father told him a secret that night - he was a member of the Strongman Tribe. After that, his father kept it a secret and rarely mentioned it again. It took Xu Yingdong a long time to finally figure out that most of the other members of the so-called Strongman Tribe were different from him. They were better at fighting and self-recovery, and Xu was a special example of the Strongman Tribe: his ears and nose were extremely sensitive, and his eyesight was even more so. As long as he wanted, he could see the hair on the mole on the nose of the driver in the car a kilometer away without the help of any equipment.
His father told him that if he wanted to live in peace, he had to hide his abilities. If he was discovered, he would either be sent to a mental hospital or a research institute. Unlike those powerful tribesmen, he did not have the ability to protect himself.
Over the years, Xu Yingdong has strictly followed his father's instructions, and has also developed a habit of not interfering in matters that do not concern him. Because of his physical convenience, he can inadvertently find out many secrets. In recent years, he has been working and entering the society, and his realm has been further improved. Even if a colleague says bad things about him next door, he just smiles. Most of the time, he just treats the voices he hears as background noise and does not investigate them deeply. You can't hear two people 200 meters away saying that someone's wife gave someone a green hat and follow them to see what someone looks like, nor do you have to hear a few bosses in a passing luxury car discussing which stock to make red and follow the trend. Xu Yingdong has his own things to do. He deliberately trained himself to turn a deaf ear to those voices. The results of these years of training have satisfied him.
The members of the Strongman tribe cannot do two things at once. As long as they focus on one thing, other things will be automatically ignored.
But the heavy footsteps had followed him all the way. Turning a deaf ear to them did not mean ignoring the potential danger.
Xu Yingdong leaned slightly to the side and sniffed. He smelled a smell of rust, a bit like a wallpaper knife that had not been taken care of for a long time, and then... there was also a smell of blood on the knife!
Without looking back, the young hematologist determined from the footsteps and smell that there was a strong, armed man who was likely to have committed a crime before! He quickened his pace and randomly entered an apartment building on the side of the road.
Lei Yuanzheng didn't think much about it. He followed Xu Yingdong calmly, and when he saw the other party enter the apartment, he followed him in.
Xu Yingdong judged the distance between himself and the other person based on the sound of footsteps. At this moment, an elevator arrived. He got in and pressed the button for the third floor first, and then the button for the sixth floor.
Lei Yuanzheng was a step behind and didn't get on the elevator. He stared at the numbers on the screen, stopped at the 3rd floor, and then went up to the 6th floor. According to the fact that the apartment building was full of tenants, it was possible that someone was on the 3rd floor, so the target was downstairs on the 6th floor. He walked into another elevator that arrived and pressed 6 directly. After thinking about it, he pressed 3 again.
Xu Yingdong was indeed downstairs on the 6th floor. At this time, he was not sure whether the man was following him, so he stood in the straight and deep corridor on the 6th floor, listening attentively.
Another elevator opened its door on the third floor, and the footsteps of a big guy walked out of the elevator. The footsteps lingered on the third floor for a while, probably because he was exploring the corridor. The footsteps returned to the elevator and ran upstairs!
As the elevator approached, Xu Yingdong smelled the blood again. Now he was sure that the man was following him!
Xu Yingdong walked up the stairs to the fifth floor. Heavy footsteps sounded above his head. The person who was following him seemed to be searching. Then the person also walked towards the stairs.
Xu Yingdong once again began to calculate the distance between himself and the other person based on the sound and smell. He did not escape from the stairs again, but steadily stopped an elevator going up and went up to the 6th floor.
The big guy ran up the stairs to the 5th floor—
The big guy seemed a little confused. He returned to the stairs and began to walk slowly with small steps, probably looking for his own footprints.
The big guy followed the footprints and came to the elevator again, but he obviously didn't know whether to go up or down.
Xu Yingdong detected Lei Yuanzheng's location remotely, took an elevator that was not in the same location as his to the ground floor, and quickly left the apartment.
