Chapter 277: Chapter 266: Things Are Not That Simple
Yan University’s Affiliated Hospital’s Operating Room No. 3 turned on the red light. This operating room may not have been established the earliest, but it undoubtedly has the latest and most complete equipment, bearing the most advanced surgical equipment at Yan University’s Affiliated Hospital, and is more than twice the size of other operating rooms.
At this moment, the doctors and nurses living in the residential units of Yan University’s Affiliated Hospital had all gathered. Emergency Department Director Chen Feng, Vice President Liang Tianze, Internal Medicine Director Xu Bin were all present. Elder Qin had moved to the suburbs after retirement, and Wang Fuming, who was invited by Liang Tianze, was naturally arranged at the hotel.
At this moment, Dan Qing was already lying on the operating table, her face pale, without a trace of blood, her breathing weak and feeble, obviously already on the brink of the most dangerous edge, where a single misstep could very likely send her soul to the afterlife.
"Where is Xiao Lin? Why hasn’t he arrived yet? What’s going on? What about Elder Qin? Was Elder Qin informed?" Liang Tianze asked Chen Feng and Xu Bin in a low voice, with an inexplicable anger in his tone.
This time, Liang Tianze wasn’t as reckless as he had been with Dan Qing in the past few days, probably made wary by Xiao Lin.
The responsibility doctor in the VIP room stood in front of Dan Qing, looking at Liang Tianze standing not far from the operating table, and asked, "Dean, what should we do now? Should we proceed with the surgery immediately?"
Liang Tianze glared fiercely at Dr. Tang. Who dared perform surgery under such circumstances? If the patient had any serious mishap and Xiao Lin made a fuss, who could bear the responsibility? It’s known that currently, Xiao Lin is a frequent guest of the dean, and no one dares to take such a risk. Moreover, with past experiences as lessons, even Liang Tianze dared not act recklessly.
"But..." Dr. Tang was just about to speak when the door of the operating room was pushed open. Xiao Lin rushed in, followed by a nurse from the VIP ward. Chen Feng had arranged for someone to receive Xiao Lin at the hospital door in advance but didn’t expect Xiao Lin to be so fast, taking less than ten minutes.
However, as soon as Xiao Lin appeared, Liang Tianze’s face changed, and he directly questioned, "Dr. Xiao, what is going on here? Why did such a condition appear less than an hour after the patient consumed the dietary therapy prescribed by you and Elder Qin?"
"You are fully responsible for this matter!" Director Xu Bin also chimed in from the side. With such an issue arising, Xu Bin naturally had an unpleasant demeanor towards Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin furrowed his brow, staring at Liang Tianze and Xu Bin, with a faint murderous aura in his gaze that made Liang Tianze and Xu Bin’s hearts involuntarily skip a beat, as if being pointed at by a dark gun muzzle. Xu Bin originally wanted to say more but seeing Xiao Lin’s eyes, couldn’t help but swallow his words.
"I will naturally investigate the cause. The dietary therapy prescribed by Elder Qin and me has absolutely no problems, of this, I am certain!" Xiao Lin stated calmly.
"What do you mean by that? Do you think..." Xu Bin began to speak but didn’t know how to continue.
Xiao Lin snorted coldly and said, "I don’t have time to waste words with you now. If there’s nothing more involving you, please leave the operating room!" With that, he turned his back and headed towards the operating table, coming to Dan Qing’s side.
At this time, Dan Qing was already close to a comatose state, her face pale, and even her breathing was unstable. Her heart rate was growing weaker and might cease at any moment, reaching a level of danger that couldn’t be further exaggerated.
Even Liang Tianze could no longer sit still, angrily saying to Chen Feng, "Director Chen, is this the expert you brought in? Encountering a problem with his treatment plan, all he knows is to shirk responsibility? If this patient has even the slightest mishap, even if it’s reported to the Ministry of Health, I will not back down!"
At this point, Chen Feng’s face wasn’t looking good either. After all, this morning, Xiao Lin had already obtained the primary responsibility for this patient’s treatment, and he, along with Elder Qin, was responsible for the early-stage restorative treatment. Unexpectedly, after consuming the dietary medication, such a situation arose in less than an hour, causing Chen Feng to feel uneasy.
Yet having come to this point, Chen Feng would naturally stand unhesitatingly on Xiao Lin’s side, not only out of trust in Xiao Lin’s medical skills but also out of admiration for the massive power behind Xiao Lin. Moreover, he had no choice left at this point. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Lin interrupted directly.
"Get out!" Xiao Lin’s tone was indisputable, then he took out a Silver Needle from the medical kit and said to Director Chen, "Director Chen, please have the irrelevant personnel leave, leave just two nurses!"
"Xiao Lin... you..." Liang Tianze was almost so angry he couldn’t speak, but seeing the determination in Xiao Lin’s eyes, he dared not say anything further.
"Fine, I want to see how you handle this mess. Don’t think of yourself as a god!" Liang Tianze flung a remark and angrily walked out of the operating room, his expression quite unnatural.
In the operating room, only the two nurses who were originally taking care of Dan Qing remained, along with Chen Feng; others had all left. One of the nurses asked, "Dr. Xiao, do you need our help?"
"No, let me ask you, did Dan Qing strictly follow the treatment plan I discussed with Elder Qin in eating? Did she consume any other food or medication?" Xiao Lin paused and asked, while his hands continued working.
"No, but after Sister Danqing had eaten halfway, Dean Liang Tianze came over to observe!" Zhang Wanyue said.
"Liang Tianze came over?" Xiao Lin repeated suspiciously.
"Yes, but he only asked about Dan Qing’s condition and didn’t instruct us to administer any medication!" Zhang Wanyue replied.
"Right, when Dan Qing was drinking the soup medicine, Dean Liang Tianze personally watched and even stirred the soup medicine with a spoon!" Another nurse suddenly recalled.
Xiao Lin suddenly became alert and asked, "Is there any residue of the soup medicine left from today’s Dan Qing’s drink?"
"Dr. Xiao, what do you imply?" Zhang Wanyue asked, confused.
"Yes, actually Sister Danqing was fine after drinking, and I was about to take the pot back to the herbal medicine room for processing, but due to an emergency with another patient, we were short of nurses, so I left to help. At that time, Sister Danqing was still fine!" the nurse suddenly spoke softly.
"Good, now go fetch the leftover soup medicine and have Director Chen take it for testing!" Xiao Lin didn’t expect the soup medicine remnants to still exist. If there was an issue with the soup medicine, then Liang Tianze had the greatest suspicion since he had the motive.
"Dr. Xiao, Dean Liang wouldn’t do such a thing, would he?" Zhang Wanyue suddenly whispered, also sounding uncertain.
"One may know a person’s face but not their heart. I can assure you that the prescription Elder Qin and I came up with has no issues!" Xiao Lin said in a deep voice, his hand movements uninterrupted, taking the Silver Needle and piercing it into Dan Qing’s Sea of Qi.
