Reborn : Space Intelligent Woman

Chapter 2750: Chapter 2750: Want To Return To His Duty

The next morning, Tang Qin Hao finally woke up. The first thing he noticed was that the heavy, suffocating weight that had completely pinned down his nervous system the day before had entirely vanished. He slowly flexed his long fingers, watching them respond instantly to his commands, before carefully attempting to stand up from the plush sofa. To his immense relief, raw physical strength had finally returned to his legs. He rose to his full height effortlessly, without a single hint of dizziness or fatigue.

Just then, the soft click of the master bedroom door opening cut through the quiet suite.

Turning around, he watched as the mysterious, disguised figures of Yu Qi and Long Hui walked out of the room together. Simultaneously, Yu Qi and Long Hui noticed that Tang Qin Hao was already standing firmly on his own two feet.

”It seems you have fully metabolised the antidote and recovered your strength.” Yu Qi smiled faintly, her eyes softening as she scanned his posture. ”That’s a relief.”

”Yeah. Thanks to both of you. Otherwise, I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened to me in that basement.” Tang Qin Hao nodded sincerely, his tone carrying a rare warmth.

”So, what are you planning to do now?” Yu Qi asked, crossing her arms as she observed him.

”I have been thinking about returning to the medical conference and finishing everything I started.” Tang Qin Hao answered without a single shred of hesitation.

”Oh? Even after experiencing a full-scale abduction? Aren’t you worried that those people might try to kidnap you a second time?” Yu Qi raised a delicate, perfectly arched eyebrow.

Tang Qin Hao fell silent for a long moment, staring out the floor-to-ceiling windows before letting out a helpless, pragmatic sigh.

”To be completely honest with you... I am worried.” Tang Qin Hao admitted. ”But I can’t just leave my professional obligations unfinished. My keynote presentation, the panel discussion, and the global conference itself are all responsibilities I formally accepted before flying out here. If I vanish without completing them, it will create immense, unnecessary chaos for the organisers and colleagues.”

Yu Qi looked at him quietly, a fond but resigned expression crossing her hidden features. She knew this was exactly the kind of unyielding, duty-bound person Tang Qin Hao was. Even after surviving a terrifying, high-stakes kidnapping, the very first thing occupying his brilliant mind was still his professional responsibility to the medical community.

Long Hui glanced sideways at Yu Qi, silently gauging her reaction, before looking back at the stubborn surgeon. For several long, tense seconds, nobody spoke a word. Finally, Yu Qi broke the silence with a soft sigh.

”Alright.” Yu Qi nodded, giving her approval. ”You can go back to the conference hall.”

”Really?” Tang Qin Hao blinked in slight surprise, not expecting her to give in so easily.

”Yes. However, you must be infinitely more careful this time. Do not follow unknown staff members so easily, especially if they suddenly claim a critical patient desperately needs your help.” Yu Qi answered calmly, her tone suddenly turning razor-sharp with warning.

Tang Qin Hao looked at her thoughtfully, his analytical mind picking up on the details. The fact that she knew the exact cover story used to lure him out made it perfectly obvious that she had already thoroughly interrogated his captors. He smiled bitterly, a touch of self-deprecation in his eyes.

”I will remember that lesson.” Tang Qin Hao stated.

”Good.” Yu Qi smiled.

”Once again...” Tang Qin Hao stopped at the threshold and bowed respectfully toward both of them. ”Thank you very much for my life.”

Without waiting for them to break protocol or reveal their identities, he turned around and left the Presidential Suite, his stride confident once more. Tang Qin Hao headed straight down the carpeted hallway toward his assistant’s room. Fortunately, he still had his original room key card safely tucked away, and his assistant’s room happened to be situated right next door to his own. He knocked firmly on the door.

A few tense seconds later, the door suddenly swung open with violent haste. The exact millisecond, his panicked assistant saw Tang Qin Hao standing right there, alive, completely unharmed, and perfectly composed. His eyes widened to the size of saucers in absolute, jaw-dropping disbelief.

”Dr... Dr Tang Qin Hao!” The assistant exploded, his voice cracking with emotion. The very next second, the young man nearly dropped to his knees on the carpet in sheer, unadulterated relief. ”Doctor Tang Qin Hao... You are back! You are actually back!”

”Hmm,” Tang Qin Hao nodded calmly, stepping past him. ”Let’s go inside first. I will explain the situation.”

”Yes... Yes... Of course! Please come in!” The assistant hurriedly stepped aside to clear the way before slamming the door shut and locking it behind them.

The moment they sat down at the room’s desk, the assistant could no longer suppress the overwhelming anxiety that had been building since the previous afternoon.

”Doctor Tang Qin Hao, what on earth happened yesterday? Everyone has been turning the city upside down searching for you! The international organisers, the local police, the hospital board... everyone was in a state of absolute panic!” The assistant asked.

Tang Qin Hao calmly and methodically recounted the entire harrowing ordeal from beginning to end, his medical precision showing in his narrative. He explained how a young, seemingly distressed conference staff member had approached him, claiming there was an immediate medical emergency involving a high-profile patient. He detailed how he had followed her directly to the isolated eastern wing of the hotel before being ambushed by the middle-aged man. He described being forcefully led down into the dim basement parking lot, surrounded by heavily armed operatives, threatened at gunpoint, injected with an unknown chemical sedative, and eventually waking up imprisoned inside a locked concrete basement room.
