Chapter 2 — In Rebirth, I Choose to Save People Before Saving Myself

"I just received a quest." I replied. "Emergency dispatch order from the National Medical Rescue Team. Next week I will leave for the disaster area in the Northwest, the support period is three months."

I gave him the phone. On the screen is an electronic notification sent by the National Medical Rescue Team. The director took it and read it very carefully. After reading, he raised his head to look at me, his eyes were completely different.

"Northwest natural disaster area? There was an earthquake there a few days ago, the situation is very complicated."

"I'm just an intern. What can I do there? In the rescue team, there are all experienced doctors, even the deputy director."

"I can be an assistant, I can do anything that needs me." I looked straight at him. "But I want to go."

The director was silent for a few seconds.

"The dispatch dispatch from the rescue team has been sent to the hospital since this morning." He spoke slowly. "The leader of the team is Commander-in-Chief Han. I talked to him on the phone. He said that manpower is extremely lacking. If the hospital has suitable people, I hope to be able to report as soon as possible."

I was stunned. Did he... already know?

"Did the director also receive the notice?" I asked.

"Since this morning." He returned the phone to me. "Originally, I was also planning to find you to talk to. The rescue team specifically wanted a young doctor specializing in Internal Medicine, requiring quick response, good physical strength, and ability to endure hardships. The hospital nominated you."

I stood frozen in place. It felt like something exploded inside. In my previous life... This was absolutely not the case. In my previous life, before I could wait for the official transfer exam results to be announced, I had Lam Hieu's denunciation letter nailed to the column of humiliation.

"Dear Director, can I get the dispatch dispatch now?"

"In Human Resources." He replied. "Take my approval letter and go there to receive it. The handover of the work will be completed today. The rescue team will depart the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow you have to go to the Provincial Health Department to register."

I received the approval paper he gave me. Fingertips are cold.

"Thank you, Headmaster."

"Thank you for what?" He waved his hand. "Go there and try to do well and bring honor to the hospital."

I turned around and walked towards the door.

"Tham Thanh Tu."

I stopped walking but didn't turn around.

"My best friend, Lam Hieu..." The principal's voice rang out from behind. "At ten past three this afternoon, she went to the Disciplinary Inspection Committee office and submitted a set of denunciation documents."

My hand clenched the approval paper until it wrinkled. When I returned to the duty room, Lam Hieu was still there. She sat right in my seat, flipping through her review notebook. Seeing me enter, she immediately smiled.

"Where are you going? The coffee's gone cold."

I walked over, picked up the cold cup of coffee, and poured it straight into the sink. The smile on her face stiffened for a moment.

"Thanh Tu, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

I dried my hands and then started gathering things on the table.

"The announcement has gone down. I give up the official transfer exam. The day after tomorrow I will follow the National Medical Rescue Team to the northwest disaster area as a dispatch."

Lam Hieu immediately stood up.

"National Medical Rescue Team dispatches emergency." I put each set of review materials into a drawer as I spoke. "Now I have to go down to the Human Resources department to check in."

She looked I. A very familiar light suddenly flashed in his eyes. That look... I've seen it countless times in my past life. Confused at first. It's an emotion that's even deeper than that.

"But... you've been preparing for the official transfer exam for so long." She said softly. "If I give up now, won't all my efforts be wasted?"

"It's not a waste."

I calmly replied.

"Natural disaster areas need doctors more."

Lam Hieu was silent for a few seconds. Then she smiled again, reaching out to help me arrange things on the table.

"That's good." She said gently. "No matter how good your results are, there will still be many opportunities in the future. Conditions in natural disaster areas are very harsh, remember to take care of yourself if you go alone."

I looked at her hands. Those hands... Last night I sat in front of the computer, using photo editing software to fake the conversation between me and the professor. This morning... Those same hands held that set of forged documents and knocked on the door of the Disciplinary Inspection Committee office. And now... Those hands are helping me fold the white blouse. His movements were gentle and gentle, as if he was really worried about me.

"Lin Hieu."

I spoke up. She raised her head to look at me, her eyes curved as before. I looked straight into her eyes and slowly pressed each word.

"Three ten this afternoon..."

"What documents did you submit to the Disciplinary Inspection Committee office?"

Lam Hieu's movements stopped. Her hand stopped floating in mid-air. The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. The sound of the air conditioner in the on-call room was still buzzing, chilling to the bone. Lam Hieu's hand slowly lowered and placed it on the edge of the table. She looked at me. The corners of the lips still maintain a smile. But the light in the eyes...

"Thanh Tu..."

"What...what are you talking about?"

"I asked you."

I repeated again, my voice strangely calm.

"At ten past three this afternoon, what documents did you submit to the Disciplinary Inspection Committee office?"

Lam Hieu did not respond. Eyelashes fluttered, eyelashes trembled slightly. In her previous life, at this time she would pretend to be bewildered, then feel sorry for herself and ask if I had misunderstood something. But in this life... I won't give her that chance. I pulled open the desk drawer and took out the spare phone from inside. Open the recording. Immediately, Lam Hieu's voice rang out from the phone speaker, clear to every word.

"...Every time her case analysis paper gets a perfect score, she must have seen the question in advance. I once saw her contact Professor Li privately, even sending him 50,000 yuan... Yes, I have a photo of the conversation..."

In the recording, the voice of a Disciplinary Inspection Committee staff member asking questions was also heard. Lam Hieu's face immediately turned pale. The blood on her face drained away, even her lips turned blue.

"You... you recorded me?"
