When the Doctor Uses A Hack

After seeing Chen Cang off, the Criminal Police Unit's office fell silent again!

Everyone, who should have been happy, couldn't muster any joy!

Now, thanks to Chen Cang's involvement, the truth was gradually emerging.

But precisely because of that, they saw the truth—so heinous, it was unbearable!

This kind of expertly executed crime demanded they refine the clues continuously.

Following flowcharts, task line diagrams, and other forms of analysis and organization.

At this point, the team captain couldn't help but ask, "Director Xu, what's this Professor Chen's background?"

Xu Chutai glanced at the captain and replied with a chuckle, "Impressive, huh?"

"Impressive! We worked for two days without results; he came for two hours and delivered a conclusion. That's freakishly good."

"He looks quite young to me!"

"Yeah, absolutely brilliant!"

"Director Xu, quickly poach him over here. Offer him a high salary; with him around, our case-solving efficiency would skyrocket!"

"Exactly, Director Xu!"

Several officers nodded in agreement, amazed beyond words!

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm to get Chen Cang on board, Xu Chutai felt a bittersweet pang deep down.

How could Chen Cang be just anybody?

If they could really poach him, that would be monumental.

Looking at his old colleagues, Xu Chutai didn't hold back, but smiled and said, "Don't count your chickens. Even the head honcho in our system couldn't sway him!"

That one sentence immediately caused an explosion of laughter among the crowd:

"Is that even possible?"

"Exactly!"

Seeing everyone's disbelief, Xu Chutai looked at a female officer and said, "Xiaomi, pull up Professor Chen's profile for everyone to see—but don't go gossiping after this, okay?"

"Don't get Professor Chen into trouble."

Everyone chuckled. They knew how to keep their mouths shut.

The female officer then projected Chen Cang's profile onto the screen.

As soon as the details came into view, everyone instantly froze in shock!

World-class president?

National-level team leader?

Editor-in-chief of… what?

But the real kicker was the Central Health Committee at the bottom!

...

The sheer weight of these accomplishments left everyone stupefied.

Each person couldn't help but wonder—had they made a mistake somehow?

After all, they had just been joking around with Professor Chen earlier. He had been so casual and down-to-earth, without even the faintest hint of arrogance.

This was just too low-key!

All at once, Chen Cang's face popped up in everyone's minds, and they blurted out their thoughts: "Awesome!"

"This is what they call true awesomeness!"

"But so unpretentious!"

Now everyone finally understood Director Xu's point.

Professor Chen, not even 30 years old, had accomplished so much—how could he possibly work for the police system?

That'd be like burying himself alive.

Even if the head of the police system went to recruit Chen Cang, the health system's head wouldn't be silly enough to let him go!

Seeing their reactions, Director Xu couldn't help but say, "Alright, now you know. Just consider this a little perk I gave you; someday, if you need medical care, maybe you can pull some strings!"

No one appreciated the gesture!

They shot back: "Boss, stop jinxing us!"

"Exactly!"

Director Xu swept his gaze over the crowd, chuckling softly, then clapped his hands and wiped the grin off his face.

He addressed the team: "Alright, let's get back on track!"

"We need to keep discussing the case and finish everything within three days!"

...

...

When Chen Cang got home, he set down his keys and immediately heard Qin Yue talking on the phone.

Qin Yue basically called Ji Ruyun every couple of days; lately, conversations about her wedding had made the calls even more frequent.

Besides, Qin Yue's daily schedule was practically synced up with her department head, Sun Guangyu.

Regarding Qin Yue…

Sun Guangyu wouldn't dare to push her too hard.

After all, in a certain sense, she was practically like half a "Teacher's Wife!"

Every time Sun Guangyu thought about this, he felt a mix of pain and joy.

The joy came from Qin Yue's case analyses, which frequently featured fresh perspectives.

As a result, the weekly difficult case discussions had basically turned into Qin Yue's special lectures.

Naturally, the department had to treat her like a rare animal, preserving her carefully.

So much so that Qin Yue had become the Xiehe General Surgery Department's: Qin-the-Talisman-The-True-Mascot-Yue!

Especially now that people knew she was about to get married, Sun Guangyu had given her as much time as possible to prepare!

This naturally stirred up dissatisfaction among the other young women in the department!

"Teacher, when I was in school, you explicitly told me I couldn't get married or pregnant!"

"Exactly, Teacher. You said no having kids while doing a graduate program!"

Faced with these complaints and objections, Sun Guangyu always responded magnanimously with a slight smile.

Then he would ask with a laugh, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

That one question would deal a million points of raw damage to Qin Yue's senior sisters!

Too darn real!

Never mind how hard it was for female Ph.D. students to find a partner.

If you added a field of study to that, please don't let it be medicine.

Because that would drop your chances of finding a partner even lower!

Sun Guangyu found this profoundly frustrating.

To be honest, it wasn't as if he enjoyed saying such unvarnished truths.

But the truth could only hurt.

Generally speaking, when graduate students chose their advisors, most advisors preferred male students, and were less inclined to choose females.

Of course, this wasn't because advisors liked boys better.

It was simply because, by the time female students reached the graduate school age, they were often preparing to settle down and have children.

However, advisors were usually super busy, and their students inevitably had to keep up with their schedules.

But if a female student got pregnant, asking her to keep pace would be a case of 'heart willing but uterus not able.'

As a result, many advisors brought this up as a condition during initial student interviews.

They would ask prospective students if they were willing to refrain from having children while studying.

As for Qin Yue… Sun Guangyu admitted he chickened out.

And chickened out decisively.

Standing on moral and ethical high ground, Sun Guangyu could even claim he was respecting his "teacher's wife."

...

When Qin Yue saw Chen Cang return, she glared at him and pointed at the clock hanging on the wall, signaling: Look at the time!

Chen Cang gave a goofy smile and didn't bother defending himself.

Still holding the phone, Qin Yue didn't unleash her anger on Chen Cang, but she stood there, hands on her hips, cheeks puffed, her eyes filled with murderous intent!

Chen Cang chuckled awkwardly.

On the other end, Ji Ruyun heard the commotion and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Chen Cang's back?"

Qin Yue replied angrily, "Yeah, just walked in. Do you see what time it is?"

Ji Ruyun chuckled, "Staying out late like this, he must be working hard. Make sure to take good care of Chen Cang; he works so hard every day, running around endlessly."

Ji Ruyun rambled on for a while.

As she spoke, Qin Yue's expression turned helpless, and she finally blurted out:

"Mom, whose mom are you exactly?"

"I'm your real daughter, but you're bending over backward for him?!"

No sooner had Qin Yue finished speaking than a faint voice came through the phone—Qin Xiaoyuan's:

"When it comes to bending over backward, you mother and daughter are perfectly aligned—in both angle and precision."
