Chapter 32: Chapter 31: Laying the Cards on the Table, Actually I'm also a Chief Physician
"Alright, we've completed the detailed investigation. Once the prosecutor's office reviews and initiates public prosecution, they will inform you and your family about the final verdict!"
Officer Xiao Hu clicked his retractable pen, pocketed it, and pulled out a camera to snap close-up shots of Boss Pu's wounds, medical records, and other key information.
"Officer, officer! I have a question! For cases like this, how many years might that girl who injured our boss get sentenced?"
Seeing Officer Xiao Hu preparing to leave, Yu Shutong quickly followed up with a question.
"In your boss's case, a second-degree serious injury is for certain, and Dr. Dai has just confirmed it. Under normal circumstances, it would be at least three years, right? It also depends on whether you guys will forgive her or not."
"But what I say doesn't count. Everything is subject to the final verdict of the prosecutor's office!"
Officer Xiao Hu thought for a moment and briefly discussed the possible sentencing.
But out of precision, he did not give an exact answer, as sentencing was not his responsibility.
"Forgive? No way is forgiveness just possible! Compensation must be fully settled before consideration of forgiveness!"
"Exactly! Medical expenses, food expenses, nursing care fees, transportation costs, nutritional fees, compensation for mental distress—they must all be fully compensated!"
Yu Laoer and Qin Laosan were counting off on their fingers the various compensation items they could think of.
After all, Boss Pu had encountered a benefactor this time!
Such an opportunity was rare and not to be missed!
"Alright, I'm out!"
Officer Xiao Hu, speechless, glanced at these two characters and didn't forget to greet Gu Yu as he passed by.
After all, Gu Yu had been a witness twice in less than a week, which was truly exceptional!
"Shall I see you out?"
"No need, you better take good care of your roommate!"
Gu Yu wanted to follow him out but was declined by Officer Xiao Hu.
After the two officers left, there were still seven people left in the room, including him!
Professor Dai, accompanied by two female students, stood to the side and didn't seem to be planning to leave.
And Yu Laoer and Qin Laosan were obviously not going anywhere!
However, one person couldn't hold it any longer!
"Could the... ladies step aside for a moment? Laoer, Laosan, Laosi, one of you help me put on the adult diaper? I've got a tube here and it's inconvenient for me to move!"
Boss Pu tore open the packaging and pulled out a white adult diaper that was several times larger than a baby's.
He looked at his three buddies with an urgent expression.
He truly couldn't care less at that point!
If he didn't pee soon, his bladder was going to burst!
"Pfft, hahahaha..."
Huo Xiaoyi, who was standing by, saw the oversized adult diaper in Boss Pu's hand and his desperate face, and couldn't hold back her laughter.
The others also couldn't hide their smiles, though none laughed as freely as she did.
Being laughed at by a beautiful girl, Boss Pu was filled with both shame and anger but could do nothing about it!
"Damn it, I'm really going to leak!"
He looked pleadingly at Qin Laosan, but Qin Laosan shook his head: "I don't know how, Boss!"
Then he turned to Laoer, who also shook his head.
Both of them had never cared for a baby and were new to taking care of a patient, with no experience at all.
Boss Pu had no choice but to turn his gaze to Gu Yu.
A smirk tugged at the corner of Gu's mouth.
He was just about to bite the bullet and step in when Professor Dai Zhengguo unexpectedly spoke up.
"Gu Yu, come out with me for a moment, I have something I want to ask you!"
Now, Gu had no choice.
He couldn't exactly refuse his professor, could he?
He could only offer an apologetic look to Boss Pu.
Boss Pu was on the verge of despair, what unreliable buddies they were!
Only buying, not helping him put it on! He couldn't possibly just catch the pee with the diaper, right?
Now that would be embarrassing!
Just when Boss Pu was in dire straits, an unexpected person spoke up.
"Let me do it!"
Huo Xiaoyi volunteered, raising her hand.
"You'll do it? You're a kind girl, but you're a girl!"
Boss Pu looked decidedly reluctant, and the others were surprised by Huo Xiaoyi's bold offer, not understanding why she wanted to take such a big step.
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Huo Xiaoyi realized they had misunderstood her meaning.
She rolled her eyes, then approached the bed, took the adult diaper from Pu Tongren's hands, and addressed Yu Shutong and Qin Shan:
"What I mean is, I'll teach you two how to use it!"
"Oh~"
Everyone let out a long sigh, finally understanding what she meant.
Gu Yu watched Huo Xiaoyi diligently instructing his second and third brothers and, feeling reassured, followed Professor Dai out.
Qin Wanwan also followed behind the professor, her eyes stealing glances at Gu Yu from time to time.
Professor Dai took Gu Yu to a quiet medical staff-exclusive corridor.
"Gu, I have a question I'd like to ask you, if it's not too inconvenient for you to answer?"
Dr. Dai Zhengguo began by seeking Gu Yu's consent.
"You may ask, as long as it doesn't involve particularly private matters, I can answer."
Gu Yu nodded his head, thinking to himself, after having come all this way, how could it be inconvenient?
A professor is indeed a professor, always following a procedure no matter what the task.
"It's not really a difficult question, I just wanted to know what your major is?"
With Gu Yu's consent, a smile appeared on Dai Zhengguo's face.
"I'm a student majoring in Software Engineering from the class of '18."
"Is that even a question?" Gu Yu muttered to himself, but still answered promptly.
Unexpectedly, after hearing his answer, Dai Zhengguo's expression became incredibly animated, as if he had seen something utterly bizarre.
"Software Engineering?"
An old and young voice exclaimed at the same time, with Qin Wanwan's sharp pitch markedly prominent.
Realizing that shouting was not appropriate in a hospital, she quickly covered her mouth.
But her gaze at Gu Yu still resembled that of someone looking at a charlatan.
"Yeah? If you don't believe me, look at my student ID!"
Gu Yu said, his mouth twitching as he pulled his student ID out of his pocket.
Upon opening it, the first page displayed his photo.
The other page listed his college, class, student number, name, and various other information.
College of Software and Big Data, Software Engineering (Class 1), 418180102, Gu Yu.
It was clear at a glance.
But Qin Wanwan still couldn't believe it and compared the photo on the student ID meticulously with the person in front of her.
In the end, aside from realizing that the Gu Yu in front of her was slightly handsomer than the one in the photo, there was no major difference!
He really was a software student!
Dai Zhengguo also found it hard to accept this reality.
It would have been better if Gu Yu was a veterinary student! Although it seemed unrelated, at least his knowledge of medical science made sense!
But he was actually studying computer science!
A programmer knowing about closed thoracic drainage was ludicrous!
It was as preposterous as Zhou Shuren proposing the theory of relativity!
Dai Zhengguo struggled to accept this fact, but he hadn't given up and continued to ask Gu Yu, "Then how did you know that a tension pneumothorax needs to be treated with closed thoracic drainage? Does someone in your family study medicine?"
If someone in Gu Yu's family practiced medicine, it wouldn't be impossible for him to be exposed to such knowledge regularly!
Sure enough, Gu Yu nodded.
Dai Zhengguo finally breathed a sigh of relief; it was as he had guessed.
But then he felt somewhat disappointed, thinking if Gu Yu only memorized some medical theory because of his family, there was no point in cultivating him further.
Memorizing theory and understanding practical operations are two different things!
"My grandmother was an army doctor, and I learned a lot of medical knowledge from her since I was a child."
Gu Yu blurted out a background he had concocted in his own mind.
The identity fabricated by the system felt as though it were truly his own memory, requiring no deliberate effort to disguise his tone or expression.
"Hmm."
Dai Zhengguo nodded, his interest in Gu Yu waning.
Except for Qin Wanwan standing nearby, whose heart was set on getting closer to Gu Yu.
An army doctor, how envious! There must be so many stories! She wanted to hear them!
"Alright, Wanwan, I don't have any more questions. If you have something you wish to talk about with Gu Yu, please continue chatting."
Dai Zhengguo turned aside, gently patted Qin Wanwan on the shoulder.
He thought it was normal for a girl to like a handsome boy.
Dai Zhengguo took a step forward, about to leave, when Gu Yu suddenly blurted out another sentence.
"And, I am actually a Chief Physician in the army..."
"What!!?"
Dai Zhengguo had taken a step when he heard this, nearly dropping his glasses.
Qin Wanwan, who had just taken out her phone, attempting to add Gu Yu on Feixin again, paused her hand mid-air, not knowing what to do.
