Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Just as Tan Rou turned around, Wang Si’s neighbor came out. It was a young woman with a baby in her arms.

“Are you here to look for Old Wang? Old Wang should be at home,” the young woman asked. “I heard some noise in his house just now. It sounded like an argument. I had to care for my child which was why I couldn’t check up on them. If you know Old Wang, you should take a look.”

“This door isn’t open. I can’t go in,” Tan Rou said as she looked at the door.

The young woman smiled. “The lock of his house is not strong enough. The wind will blow it open if it’s slightly stronger. You just need to use a little strength to pull the door open.”

Tan Rou was skeptical, but she still did it anyway. Just as that woman had said, the lock on the front door of Wang Si’s house was indeed weak. Even a ten-year-old girl could pull the door open, let alone her.

After entering the door, Tan Rou heard the nursing robot’s warning voice. “Warning, warning. Someone has broken in. We will adopt a defensive mode in three seconds.”

“K101, deactivate defense mode.”

When the nursing robot heard her voice, its tone seemed to have changed. “Defense mode has been deactivated! Welcome, Miss Tan Rou.”

Tan Rou walked into the living room and realized that there were two people lying there. One of them was wailing on the floor, while the other was lying on the sofa without moving.

She guessed that the younger person was Wang Jun. Looking at him, he must have been attacked by the nursing robot. Did the nursing robot treat him as a stranger? That shouldn’t be the case. Wang Si should have given Wang Jun the authority to control the robot.

“K101, replay everything that happened in the last half an hour,” Tan Rou ordered as she walked across the sofa to the robot.

The chest of the nursing robot caved in, and a palm-sized electronic display screen appeared. Then, it began to play back.

Tan Rou turned on the 4x speed and finished watching the video in a few minutes. After watching it, she gently held her forehead. “I shouldn’t have asked you to be a volunteer in the first place. It’s too troublesome!”

Wang Si was unconscious, so he couldn’t hear a word.

Tan Rou tidied up the living room and thought about what she should say to the doctor next. She couldn’t possibly say that she was Wang Si’s relative, right?

“That…” The young woman who had just spoken came back after coaxing the child to sleep. She was very surprised to see Wang Jun lying on the ground. “What’s going on?”

“It was like this when I came in,” Tan Rou replied calmly.

The young woman nodded. “Where’s Old Wang? I just heard his voice.”

Tan Rou pointed at Wang Si who was sitting on the sofa. “He’s over there.?I’ve already called the emergency number. They should be here soon, but I’m a little busy, so I’d like to trouble you to take care of him until the doctor comes. Do you think it’s okay?”

The young woman said, “If you’re busy, go and do your own things. Old Wang and I are neighbors. Every time I go out to buy vegetables, Old Wang will help me take care of my child. Now that Old Wang is sick, I should take care of him.”

Tan Rou had quite a good impression of this woman. She took out a card from her wallet and said, “The card should cover all of the medical expenses. There are six ones. You can use this card when you pay later.”

The woman was too embarrassed to accept it. “I can also pay for Old Wang’s medical expenses first.”

Tan Rou looked at the woman’s clothes and thought of the environment here. She felt that this woman was not very rich. “It’s okay. There’s not much money in there. It’s just enough to pay for the medical expenses. If you have any money left, use it to buy some food for the child. Treat it as a thank you fee from me.”

The woman thought of her child and accepted the card. “Thank you for your help. May I know your name? If there’s anything left, I’ll return this money to you.”

Tan Rou shook her head gently. “You’re welcome. Keep the money and spend it. I probably won’t come back in the future.”

She stood up and operated the robot’s control panel. “I’ll leave first.”

Tan Rou took the robot away. This incident had made her realize the shortcomings of the robot, and she didn’t want the robot that she had carefully designed to stay in such a place.
