After consulting the doctor and getting permission to leave the hospital, Xiao Bai helped Jia Zhiqing go through the formalities to get discharged.

When Jia Zhiqing left, he was quite reluctant. "Sigh, you don't know this but the sister on the opposite bed is a beauty, has a good temperament, polite, and a reporter." When he said this, he paused for a moment then he continued with a tone filled with grief and indignation, "If only I've met her when I was still working at the insurance company, then it would've been fine."

Xiao Bai hailed a taxi and called him to get in, then he wondered and asked, "Why do you have to meet her when you were working at the insurance company?"

"Because Gao Qin said that from the moment we stepped into this line of business, the reporters are our natural enemy!" He clenched his fist and looked ahead with eyes filled with water.

The taxi driver suddenly turned his head and said: "Are you guys working undercover? If not, then why are you so afraid of being exposed to reporters?"

Xiao Bai pointed ahead anxiously, "Look carefully at the road."

"No problem. I've been driving for more than thirty years, and I've never had..." Before the taxi driver could even finish his words, he heard Jia Zhiqing yell in horror: "Watch out!"

Bang!

——Today was the day when he gets 'deflowered' for not causing an accident for more than thirty years.

As the driver was dealing with the rear-end incident, Xiao Bai and Jia Zhiqing [1] paid the fare and directly went back to the hospital.

([1] It was originally written as Gao Qin instead of Jia Zhiqing, which may have been a typo since Gao Qin was not at the scene at that time. We changed it to Jia Zhiqing to fit the scenario.)

When they were on the way back to the hospital, Jia Zhiqing covered his forehead with his hand as he bumped it on the car window and sadly said: "I hate the hospital and I hate the way they detain their patients more!"

Xiao Bai said with justice: "It's you who wanted to come."

Although it was a rear-end incident, at the crucial moment, the taxi driver had fully exerted his thirty years worth of driving experience and excellent quality, stepping on the brakes and turning the steering wheel in one go. Therefore, even if the rear of the taxi was broken, it was not that serious.

Jia Zhiqing let go of his hand, pointed at the big bump on his head and said: "This injury's already so serious. It's quite possible that there'll be things like an internal injury."

Xiao Bai measured him with his eyes and slowly said: "...actually, you still want to see that beautiful reporter, right?"

Jia Zhiqing was surprised: "How come your brain wasn't this fast in the past?"

Xiao Bai raised his neck slightly and gave him a sidelong glance, "Because I'm making progress, you're standing still."

Jia Zhiqing beamed and stroked the top of Xiao Bai's head, "Shorty really needs to work harder."

After calling the company to report that he had suffered a brave startling delay for the second time, Jia Zhiqing found himself poking a hornet's nest.
