Chapter 1140: The Experts

An hour later, a black Volga sedan stopped at the entrance of the medical center.

Four people stepped out of the car, two men and two women, all looking very serious and wearing formal clothing. One of the men, in particular, had an expressionless face the entire time. Looking to be in his forties, the people who stared at him could not help but feel their hearts skip a beat. They lowered their heads, daring not to look him in the eye.

It was evident that he usually held a lot of power at work, the reason he could develop such an autocratic temperament. In comparison, the three people around him looked much worse.

One of them, in particular, wore glasses and looked like a scholar. Some even noticed that one of her legs could not help but tremble slightly. This poor girl appeared to have been “bullied” by that detestable boss many times along the way.

The other two people were much more normal. However, one of the women wore a mask and did not look very well. She seemed to be feeling ill or something.

The four of them attracted the attention of many people as soon as they got off the car. Saying nothing, they directly walked toward the medical center.

In the end, the captain of the militia team in charge of the patrol hesitated for a moment, but he still extended his hand to stop the four people because he had received the order to not allow other unrelated people to enter the hospital.

The leader of the militia squad felt that he should still obey the order, but the middle-aged man who looked like a leader did not say a word. He only gave him a cold glance, and the leader immediately regretted his actions.

Fortunately, the bespectacled girl who seemed to be easier to talk to stood up and said to him, “We are the expert team from Moscow. We received an order to investigate the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. We are here to talk to the staff on duty that night.”

“A team of experts from Moscow? They came so quickly?” The captain of the militia team was stunned. According to the rules, he should check the documents of the four people next, but he saw that the girl wearing glasses kept winking at him. At the same time, the middle-aged man, who looked very mean and challenging to get along with, showed an impatient look, as if trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart. Thus, the captain of the militia team finally gave in. He saluted and allowed the four people into the medical center.

Besnova heaved a long sigh of relief. Although it was a brief confrontation, her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Fortunately, she managed to muddle through in the end. As long as she passed through the outermost defense line, naturally, no one in the hospital would dare stop them. Thus, the four fake experts swaggered their way into the inpatient department.

However, when they entered the inpatient department, Besnova’s heart started to race again. She had been working here all this time, and all the doctors and nurses knew her. She was afraid that her identity would be exposed.

After deceiving the captain of the militia unit downstairs, Besnova knew that she had completely fallen into the trap. If their identities were exposed now, she was afraid that she would be assigned to Zhang Heng’s group as well. Losing her job was certain, and she might even be sent to prison if unlucky. She certainly didn’t want to play the expert with Zhang Heng and Coconut if she had a choice.

Unfortunately, from the moment she fell into the players’ hands, she no longer had any freedom. She could only pinch her nose and accept Zhang Heng’s makeup. After that, she spent half an hour learning all kinds of posture and speech skills.

Zhang Heng did not expect Besnova to become a genius overnight, so he arranged for her to be a nuclear physicist. She was more of a research-oriented person, so she shouldn’t be too exposed to the ways of the world. In addition to him and Coconut, a doctor was also present. Their doctor’s identity was a radiation specialist. This was the role he was most familiar with, so he wouldn’t be easily found out.

After entering the hospital, Besnova felt a little nervous, but she quickly realized that her former colleagues couldn’t seem to confirm her appearance. She even deliberately walked around in front of her best friend, to which the latter had no reactions either.

Meanwhile, the head nurse complained, “Where did Besnova and Daysa go? Weren’t they supposed to be on duty last night? Why haven’t I seen them until now? The hospital is currently short of manpower. Can someone please call them back?”

“I think I saw Besonova come back. Perhaps something happened at home, and she left again,” Besonova’s good friend explained in a low voice.

Neither of them expected the person they were looking for had just walked past them. It was only then that Besnova realized just how good Zhang Heng’s makeup skills were.

She knew which ward Katarov was in, but she didn’t forget her current identity. She coughed twice and asked the head nurse beside her, “Are Anatoly Stepanović, Comrade Katarov, and Alexander Akimov Here?”

“You are?” The head nurse looked at Besnova and felt that the person in front of her seemed a little familiar, but she could not tell how. She then looked at the serious-looking middle-aged man behind her and was also shocked.

“We are the team of experts from Moscow. We have received orders to investigate the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. We needed to talk to the staff on duty last night,” Besnova repeated what she had said to the captain of the militia team.

“They appear to be big shots from Moscow,” the head nurse thought to herself. She received a call early in the morning and went back to work. She had heard the power plant staff that had been sent over talk about this matter before dawn. Therefore, compared to the militia team downstairs, she did not doubt the identity of the four people at all. She hurriedly said, “Come with me, but some of them are not in good condition. You’d better be mentally prepared.”

Even though the head nurse was a little afraid of the middle-aged leader, she mustered up her courage on the way to the ward. “There are a bunch of good people inside. Really, some of them are my neighbors. Sometimes when I get off work late, his wife will ask my children to have dinner at their house. This accident is a tragedy, and no one wants it to happen, but fortunately, I heard that it has been controlled.”

“The expert group is here to investigate this matter. We will definitely find out the cause of the accident, and when the time comes, we will naturally clear the name of an innocent person.” Besnova tried hard to recall whatever Zhang Heng had told her with a straight face, as calmly as she could.

Sure enough, the head nurse did not dare say anything else. She led them to a ward and knocked on the half-open door. “Mr. Katarov, the group of experts is here to see you.”
