My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1408 - 560: Sibling Enabler? Winning Hearts_2

"Get in the car!"

Zhou Can did not want her to take the front passenger seat. To prevent her from feeling even more wronged, he proactively opened the rear door for her.

Often, such subtle actions and adaptability reveal a person's EQ and intelligence.

Not allowing her to drive anymore had already caused her some internal displeasure.

If he had then used a semi-commanding tone to make her sit in the back, it was imaginable that she would choose to walk home rather than ride in Zhou Can’s car, as it would deeply wound her pride.

However, Zhou Can opened the car door for her with great gentlemanly conduct, which immediately changed the atmosphere.

Her sense of grievance would be significantly lessened.

The car began to move again, and Zhou Can activated the autopilot.

"I'll take you home first. There's a criminal on the run, and that person is certainly not a common thug. It’s best to remain vigilant for a while; I’m concerned they might return to seek revenge against you."

Zhou Can offered this advice.

He did not dare to bring up the issue of the high-interest loan again, as it was clearly a sensitive topic for her.

"Thank you! It’s truly wonderful to have a boss like you!"

Her voice grew slightly hoarse.

Even without looking back, Zhou Can could distinctly sense that she was on the verge of tears, deeply moved.

"Regardless of whether we are colleagues, or even if you were a stranger and I learned of your predicament, I would still be concerned about your situation. Those who dare to engage in usury are not good people. If you fail to repay the debt, they will undoubtedly pursue you. Have you considered how you will handle this?"

Driven by compassion or a sense of team loyalty, Zhou Can wished to help her navigate this difficult period.

Nevertheless, considering her specific circumstances, her brother’s exploitation was likely to persist in the future.

Even if they managed to help her through this crisis, she might resort to high-interest loans again the next time.

"I will find a way to resolve it myself."

After a few moments of hesitation, she responded.

"Very well, I have faith that with your high level of education and intelligence, you will undoubtedly devise an effective solution. Should you encounter any difficulties, please do not hesitate to call or message me, just as you did tonight. Once I receive your message, I will assist you promptly."

Zhou Can had witnessed numerous young women fall victim to high-interest loans, eventually becoming pawns for criminals, their bodies exploited as the ultimate commodity for young females.

"Thank you!"

She deliberated for a few seconds before asking, "Why are you helping me in this manner?"

"Please do not misunderstand; I have a girlfriend and harbor no inappropriate intentions towards you. My assistance is offered without any expectation of reciprocation. If I were to desire any reward, it would be to see you excel within my surgical team."

Zhou Can’s tone was exceptionally sincere.

He genuinely harbored no ulterior motives.

As he matured, his adeptness in managing relationships between men and women had grown. Previously, with Qiao Yu and the journalist Mu Qin, emotional entanglements had gradually formed. Now, he could preemptively avert such complications.

A few years prior, whether it was department heads or hospital administrators speaking with him, they would consistently advise him to steer clear of inappropriate relationships.

Over the past year, the leadership had ceased bringing up this topic.

This indicated his newfound reliability in navigating interactions with young, attractive women.

"I will put in my best effort!"

Her voice carried a subdued tone as she replied.

They did not engage in much conversation during the journey, as it was palpable that her mood was quite somber.

When Zhou Can dropped her off at Century New City, he was amused to find that the security guard recognized his vehicle and greeted him with a warm smile.

"Ah, it’s you! Thank you for assisting our community in apprehending those two intruders."

As he spoke, the security guard voluntarily raised the parking barrier.

The barrier arm lifted automatically.

They permitted Zhou Can to proceed directly.

"Don’t I need to register?"

"No, no, I know you aren’t someone with bad intentions. Besides, if the residents of this community were to recognize your car, they would be more than happy to let you in."

The security guard, who appeared to be around forty years old, didn’t grasp complex principles but understood the value of gratitude and reciprocation.

"Thank you! I am merely dropping off a resident and will depart shortly!"

Zhou Can, concerned that accomplices of the criminals might still be lurking within the community, drove straight in.

Initially, his plan was to park outside the premises and escort her upstairs.

Now, the situation was much more convenient.

"Alright, I have arrived downstairs. You should head back now! Thank you for bringing me home and for the profound sense of warmth and security you’ve provided."

As she looked toward Zhou Can, her gaze shifted slightly, avoiding direct contact.

It wasn’t the kind of look shared between a man and a woman.

It was more akin to the reaction of someone burdened by guilt, unable to meet the eyes of their benefactor.

"Allow me to escort you to your apartment. It would bring me more peace of mind to see you safely inside. The security guard vouched for me, confirming I’m not a troublemaker and have no improper intentions toward you."

Zhou Can remarked playfully.

Her laughter erupted, a delightful sound as she covered her mouth, giggling uncontrollably.

"Ever since the day we met, I’ve never felt unsafe when I’m alone with you. Honestly, even if I were intoxicated late at night, I would trust you to take me home. Your gaze towards me has always been pure. It's a stark contrast to some male leaders, who are old enough to be my father yet their eyes reveal an unconcealed, base desire when they look at me."

As a woman with a Ph.D., her intelligence and perceptive abilities were undeniably formidable.

"On another note, I ran a red light with your car earlier today, so I'll take responsibility for the traffic violation."

Typically, one license plate can only accommodate a single instance of running a red light.

Committing a second offense necessitates remedial training.

"There's no need for you to fret about it. I seldom drive, and I've never once broken traffic laws. A deduction of 6 points is hardly a significant issue for me."

Zhou Can was indeed a model of adherence to driving regulations.

Since the day he obtained his driver's license, he had consistently followed every rule.

Not even for minor infractions like illegal parking.

Her residence was situated on the 15th floor, serviced by two elevators, with six apartments per floor. It was estimated that her living space spanned approximately sixty to eighty square meters.

"Apartment 1512 is my unit."

She gestured towards a door further down the corridor.

As they approached, she instinctively covered her mouth, nearly letting out a startled cry.

Zhou Can looked up, observing the door painted in a stark red, emblazoned with large characters proclaiming "Pay the Debt."

The methods employed in debt recovery could often be quite aggressive.

"Do not be alarmed. Should any situation arise, please do not hesitate to contact me or the police immediately," Zhou Can reassured her.

Reimbursement for outstanding debts is a fundamental principle of fairness.

However, this did not serve as a justification for employing such tactics in debt collection. Dispatching enforcers to apprehend her was an illegal act.

Naturally, if they were to obstruct her doorway and refuse to depart, even involving the police would likely prove futile.

Disputes of a civil economic nature were genuinely challenging for law enforcement to mediate.

"Would you perhaps care to come in for a cup of tea?"

"No, thank you. Simply ensure your door is securely locked. I will be on my way. Get some rest; Qiao Yu has been diligently studying lately, making you the sole instrument nurse capable of covering for her without compromising surgical efficiency."

Zhou Can held her in high esteem.

"Understood! Drive safely, and I'll see you tomorrow!"

She activated the lights in her living room, remaining at the threshold to bid farewell to Zhou Can. The interior's decor was noticeably minimalist yet tastefully arranged, reflecting a refined aesthetic. Individuals with intellectual depth truly possess a different perspective; they place significant value on the quality of their living environment.

Even with limited financial means, they can imbue their homes with an artistic flair.

...

Upon returning home, Zhou Can naturally shared some of the day's occurrences with Su Qianqian.

To his surprise, Su Qianqian expressed profound empathy for Jiang Wei after hearing the account, even encouraging Zhou Can to extend as much assistance as possible.

This reaction might stem from her own upbringing without parental support, having to fiercely fend for herself, much like Jiang Wei. Both had endured torment from various malevolent figures, experiencing feelings of isolation and helplessness.

Consequently, she felt a strong sense of shared hardship with Jiang Wei.

The following day, as Zhou Can arrived at work, Dr. Xu observed the injury on his arm and displayed considerable concern.

He recommended a few days of rest and advised him to refrain from surgeries temporarily.

Alternatively, he suggested working in the clinic and managing inpatient cases instead.

After all, surgical procedures are physically demanding, and while the left hand's role might be somewhat reduced, numerous operations still necessitate its active participation.

Zhou Can, however, was not one to indulge in perceived frailty. He considered it merely a superficial wound, not particularly severe.

He persisted with performing surgeries.

Furthermore, the caliber of his surgical outcomes remained entirely unimpaired.

When Jiang Wei arrived for her shift, she made no mention of the previous day's events, nor did Zhou Can reveal the extent of her high-interest loan obligations or the issues she was facing with debt collectors to anyone else.

Regarding her personal privacy, it was paramount to maintain discretion among colleagues to prevent any potential embarrassment or social discomfort for her.
