My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

"Xiao Zhou, ever since you started your internship in the orthopedic department over the past two months, you've performed exceptionally well. Today, you even averted a potential surgical failure and accident. To encourage you, I will provide you with more opportunities for surgical training and guidance. Additionally, I will report to the department and give you an excellent evaluation at the end of your standardized training."

These were all tangible benefits.

Zhou Can thanked him repeatedly after hearing this. The other two standardized trainees were green with envy.

But they also understood that this was the extra reward Zhou Can had earned through his abilities and hard work. It was the result of fair competition.

The two of them accepted this wholeheartedly.

At this moment, a nurse rushed in.

"Director Shen, two police officers said they need to speak with the person in charge of our department."

"Director You is in a meeting, I'll handle it!"

Hospitals are special locations.

When incidents occur, they are typically communicated with the department heads or hospital leadership first. Then subsequent actions are taken.

"Hello, two police comrades! What brings you to look for the person in charge of the department?"

Director Shen had a strong presence, her tone and expression remained quite composed.

Obviously, she had faced many similar situations before.

Hospitals are never too peaceful places, often facing all sorts of incidents that require police intervention.

"Who made the police report just now?"

"It was me!"

Zhou Can stepped forward.

"After our investigation, the patient with the injured left foot you reported is very likely involved in a cellphone store theft. Where is the patient now?"

"He's in bed 77!"

Zhou Can had not expected the patient to be actually involved in a crime.

Director Shen led the two police officers straight to bed 77.

Mr. Zhao on the hospital bed immediately turned pale, his eyes filled with panic.

Mr. Zhao's elderly father was completely bewildered, not understanding why the police had suddenly come looking for them.

"You know what we're here for, right?"

"I do!"

Mr. Zhao's face was ashen, and he dejectedly nodded.

"We are now formally summoning you for an oral interrogation, please come with us to the station for further investigation."

Mr. Zhao knew he couldn't escape legal punishment and didn't bother with futile excuses.

"Son, what on earth did you do wrong?"

His elderly father looked at his son, feeling both distressed and somewhat angry.

"Dad, I'm sorry. You've been looking forward to me bringing a wife home, but I have no particular talents, haven't much education, and all I do is low-wage, grueling jobs. Every girl I meet for matchmaking walks away without looking back as soon as they hear about my job and income. Not just one, but every single one of them. I know they look down on my poor job and low earnings."

Mr. Zhao also knew that once he was in prison, it would be very hard to speak these heartfelt words to his father again.

"A colleague quietly told me, as long as you pose as a rich person, you can get a girlfriend. A while ago, I pretended to be a rich second generation and finally got a girlfriend. After we started dating, to keep up appearances, I went all out with the facade. I often took her to fancy hotels and bought her expensive clothes and cosmetics."

One lie requires ten more to cover it up.

Without the means, pretending to be wealthy is unsustainable and bound to be exposed.

Mr. Zhao dug a hole for himself, and could only jump into it with closed eyes, which inevitably led him down a criminal path.

"My monthly salary is less than 3000 yuan. After living expenses, I couldn't even afford to treat her to one visit at a five-star hotel. Her birthday is in a couple of days, and to give her a surprise, I was strapped for cash and thought of stealing. There was a cellphone store where I'd bought a phone before; it had many high-end models. If I could sneak in, I was sure to make a fortune."

"After scouting the place, I found the store was equipped with several surveillance cameras. Breaking in surely wouldn't work. Just as I was worried, I noticed there was a ventilation duct behind the store's sign. So, I took a chance and crawled in through there, then disconnected the power to the surveillance cameras before entering the store through the ceiling."

"In total, I stole over a hundred mobile phones. As I was escaping, I unfortunately injured my foot. For the first few days, no matter how painful it got, I dared not go to the hospital because I knew the police would be on the lookout for the thief. After suffering for about a week, I could no longer bear the pain. Afraid of becoming disabled and with my girlfriend's birthday approaching, I mustered my courage to seek hospital treatment."

Mr. Zhao must be one of the most unlucky thieves in the world.

To maintain the shiny façade of a 'rich second generation', he did not hesitate to trample the law.

"Police comrades, I have only one request, please don't tell my girlfriend about this. This is my first time stealing, and I assure you, once I'm out of prison, I'll never walk this path again."

Even at this point, he still thought of maintaining the perfect image in the eyes of his girlfriend.

"According to regulations, we only need to inform the next of kin. Your girlfriend does not count as your next of kin, so we don't have to notify her."

The police conducted their affairs in a quite humane manner without breaking the law.

Perhaps they also felt this thief was not beyond redemption.

"Dad, when I get out, I promise to earnestly return to our rural home to farm and do odd jobs, and to take good care of you."

Mr. Zhao looked at his elderly father.

"You... this silly boy, what foolishness!" His elderly father was so angry that he began to cry.

Seeing his son who had made such a serious mistake, his heart ached like it was being cut by a knife.
