Chapter 282: Chapter 279 He’s Looking for a Mistress
He raised the car window back up and played a song he liked.
By the time he got home, He Qianhui had already started bustling around in the kitchen.
"You’re back so early today, tired?" Zhang Hao asked.
"Not tired, there hasn’t been much going on at work recently, but there’s something I need to tell you."
Seeing He Qianhui become serious all of a sudden, Zhang Hao also put away his smile, "What’s wrong?"
"This afternoon, I received a strange phone call. It was from a woman, asking if I knew Liu Gang."
"I gave a vague answer at the time. You don’t think that woman could be..."
Thinking that He Qianhui had encountered some trouble, Zhang Hao waved his hands in dismissal.
"Don’t worry, she’s just a street worker, my cousin played with her and then ran off without paying."
He Qianhui was astonished at these words.
Although no one knew Liu Gang’s whereabouts, it was clear to everyone.
He must have gone to a place where no one knew him.
Being so far apart, how could Zhang Hao know about it so clearly?
Zhang Hao chuckled and said, "Because I also received a phone call from that woman."
"If it wasn’t for my generosity in giving her two hundred yuan, I might not have been able to come home."
"What, you gave her money?" He Qianhui was very surprised.
"I had no choice, she was blocking my car and wouldn’t let me leave."
"You saw her?" He Qianhui asked, finally realizing.
"How else could I give her the money if I didn’t see her? If I’d known she was after money, I wouldn’t have gone there at all."
He Qianhui complained, "That Liu Gang really, knowing full well he’s impotent, still insists on finding a prostitute."
"It’s one thing to find a prostitute, but it’s another to not pay her. What was he thinking?"
What was going through Liu Gang’s mind was something the two of them couldn’t possibly know right then.
As for that woman, her line of work definitely revolved around a high volume of low-profit deals.
Moreover, she wasn’t picky about the place, time, or circumstance, even if she had to travel all this way.
Finding a place to settle, she could get a few clients and make some money.
But after seeing Zhang Hao today, a peculiar thought struck her.
She couldn’t keep going on like this forever, she had to think about her future; she couldn’t be a bride every night.
Besides, she wasn’t one of those high-class workers who could make thousands in one go.
Continuing like this, even if she worked until she was old and gray, she would have nothing to show for it.
And she might miss the prime time to find a good man to marry.
Zhang Hao she met today was not bad, he had the looks and a job.
If she could fool him into her hands, she wouldn’t have to worry about food and drink in the future; she could definitely turn her life around.
With that in mind, the woman immediately took out her phone and dialed Zhang Hao’s number again.
The worst-case scenario would be a compromise on both sides, as long as Zhang Hao could tell her Liu Gang’s whereabouts.
Then, she wouldn’t have to pay for Liu Gang’s services.
But when she made the call, she found out that her number had been blocked.
In the end, she had no choice but to use the hotel front desk phone to contact him.
However, Zhang Hao had learned his lesson; apart from work, he didn’t answer calls from any unfamiliar numbers.
As for hospitals needing to reach him urgently, they could always use a landline number or his personal phone.
Everyone there was a colleague, so it was normal to have each other’s phone numbers.
"Who is it?" He Qianhui asked.
"Don’t know, some unknown number. Don’t bother with it."
Zhang Hao snapped his phone shut, silencing the ringtone naturally.
A long while passed, and the call was automatically disconnected.
From Liu Gang’s behaviour, He Qianhui guessed something too.
"If you don’t answer," she said, "be careful they might make a scene at the hospital one day, and then you’ll regret it."
Zhang Hao appeared indifferent, "If she’s got the guts, let her make a fuss. I’ll be waiting at the hospital. But can you let me cause a scene with you tonight first?"
Qianhui knew Zhang Hao had nothing good in mind, but she didn’t refuse.
There were a lot of troubles these past few days, and it was a good opportunity to release the inner stress.
At the same time, it could deepen their emotional connection.
The next day, He Qianhui took a day off at home, not needing to go anywhere.
Zhang Hao still went to the hospital as usual.
But the moment he got to the hospital entrance, he saw a woman pacing back and forth in the hall.
Zhang Hao didn’t pay attention at first, until he was about to enter the elevator when the woman suddenly chased after him from behind.
She grabbed his arm, "Ignoring my calls? You really thought I wouldn’t know you work here?"
"Your cousin told me everything, either you give me money,"
"or tell me Liu Gang’s whereabouts, or else don’t think about having peace today."
Zhang Hao squinted at the woman, and only at this moment did he realize her craziness.
He took out his phone so she could confirm the number on the screen, which was indeed Liu Gang’s, before he made the call.
After hearing the mechanical, cold prompt, the woman was still clutching onto Zhang Hao.
"All these tricks you brothers are pulling off, just to bully a weak woman, right?"
"Anyway, if I don’t see the money today, I’m not leaving."
To attract more attention, the woman sat on the ground and held onto Zhang Hao’s leg.
This scene was witnessed not only by patients’ families but also by other hospital staff.
And since Zhang Hao was always a celebrity of this hospital, everyone from top to bottom knew him well.
Seeing the situation go awry, the security guards immediately came forward, trying to drag the woman away.
That’s when she pointed at Zhang Hao and shouted, "This man’s been with hookers, had fun, and didn’t pay!"
Zhang Hao’s mind went blank for a moment, but the security was quick to react, covering the woman’s mouth.
Even with her mouth covered, the woman was still trying to shout out loud.
With just those words, Zhang Hao’s sterling image instantly crumbled, especially to those patients who were about to book appointments with him.
They switched to other doctors, but after Zhang Hao came to his senses, he signaled the security to let the woman go.
He might as well be frank, since she was throwing cold water on him, he might use her words to vindicate himself.
"You say I’ve been with hookers, can you state the time and place?"
The woman sat on the ground, her eyes filled with panic, her mouth slightly ajar, but she couldn’t utter a single word.
"You want to slander me, that’s fine, I can take it, it won’t affect my life,"
"But if you’re falsely accusing me for no reason, I have the right to hold you responsible."
"Besides, with your line of work, you’ve already broken the law, and here you’re making a racket — are you trying to die even faster?"
Upon hearing this, the woman reacted immediately, "Then... what do you want? After all, you have to give money."
"Whether or not it’s you who played, you and your cousin can’t bully me, a woman."
Just then, the woman’s phone also rang.
Seeing the name jumping on the screen, she perked up immediately.
After answering, she started yelling, "Liu, you bastard, you finally returned my call."
Zhang Hao didn’t know what the cousin on the other end of the phone said, only seeing the woman’s face break into a joyful smile.
