Chapter 126 Han Yubin Offers Himself to the Door
Han Yubin was carrying a briefcase. He spoke urgently, but his demeanor was pretentious, as if he had everything under control.
The doctor was momentarily stunned when he was suddenly questioned; he knew Han Yubin.
Dr. Han, the most promising candidate for director of the military hospital this year, is known for his close relationship with the top leaders. He even oversees the pharmaceuticals, so everyone speculates that he holds real power and the director position is practically his.
"Director Han, we did indeed follow the rules and regulations. We only administered the medication to the patient after seeing the signed instructions and prescription. The patient had a fever twice last night, and the situation was really urgent. Please forgive us."
"Does he have a fever?"
Han Yubin adjusted his glasses without any surprise, and the corners of his mouth even turned up slightly, almost imperceptibly.
"How is the situation now? Can they be saved...? Let me tell you, children are so delicate. They get sick from just a gust of wind, and the adults are just making things worse. Penicillin is such a precious drug, do you think you can just get your hands on it like that? I didn't sign anything. I'll have to go over there and check later to see who signed it. Forging a signature is a serious crime that can land you in jail!"
Zhizhi walked slowly behind Uncle Han with her hands behind her back, raised her little head and looked at his back with a puzzled expression.
I went to wake him up last night, but he was sleeping like a log and I couldn't wake him up no matter what I did.
Why did you rush over so early this morning?
So you're here to kick someone when they're down?
Judging from the implication in his words, he doesn't think that his father called him out last night to take the child to see a doctor and get medicine, does he?
Wait... ...that little child, you're not referring to her, are you?
Zhizhi's lips twitched speechlessly. Although she didn't want to admit it, it seemed that she was the only one who had a grudge against Uncle Han.
Han Yubin was completely unaware that the cub was standing right behind him; he was too busy giving a long and detailed lecture.
“What’s the big deal about the child? What’s important is the rules of our army. So many wounded soldiers need this medicine. Is an officer’s child more precious than the life of a soldier on the front line? Come to my office in a little while and confirm with me whether that signature is forged. If it is, your job is done. I will report to my superiors, and everyone involved in this matter will be punished!”
As Han Yubin spoke, he couldn't hide the shrewdness and smugness in his eyes.
"...You said soldiers' lives are precious, so why don't you get up and sign?"
A childish voice asked from behind him.
Han Yubin felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and met the little cub's clear, bright eyes. At that moment, Zhizhi was staring at him intently. Although she was still smiling, the smile didn't look like genuine happiness at all. Instead, it was more like the calm before the storm.
"Didn't you have a fever?" He frowned, blurting out instinctively, "...Who's in that ward?"
"Who told you that? Was it just guesswork?"
Zhizhi's smile deepened as she slowly looked at the innocent-looking attending physician beside her. "Uncle in the white coat worked diligently all night to save the patient. My dad and I urgently needed Uncle Han's signature to get penicillin. If I remember correctly, Uncle Han, your door was practically knocked down, but you couldn't be woken up. You were sleeping like a log. Why are you here so early in the morning to question me? Uncle, you didn't deliberately not open the door last night, did you?"
Han Yubin's eyes widened, his mind racing, and an ominous premonition began to rise.
Last night, he naturally assumed that the reason Jiang Anchao was so anxious must be because his child was sick.
After all, penicillin is remarkably effective for treating high fever and convulsions in children, making it a highly effective drug.
But Zhizhi is safe and sound here... So who is trying to save her in the ward?
"Zhizhi, that's not what Uncle meant. You misunderstood. That... Uncle drank too much last night and really didn't hear you calling. Tell Uncle, who is lying in the ward? Are they your two older brothers?"
Even now, he still harbors a sliver of hope.
As long as the children of the Jiang An Chao family need penicillin, then this matter is not a big deal.
But if the person being rescued is a member of the military or a leader, and he didn't come to sign the papers last night, then this matter becomes extremely serious.
Han Yubin's heart pounded like a drum, his eyes were fixed on the little cub, and his palms were sweating with nervousness.
Zhizhi watched his reaction quietly, and after a long while, she suddenly curled up the corners of her lips.
"Uncle, you're being naughty. Lying makes your nose grow longer, right? Well, Uncle's lie is so clumsy, it'll probably break your nose, won't it?"
"You..." Han Yubin was speechless with anger. He didn't care about continuing the stalemate with the cub, but instead chose to go to the ward to find out what was going on.
But Zhizhi was faster than him, and she stretched out her leg to block the doorway first.
She crossed her arms, spread her legs, and stood in a horse stance at the door of the ward, speaking in a domineering tone, "Life has no distinction of value. Uncle Han, don't you feel ashamed of your profession for making sarcastic comparisons between children and soldiers? Our great nation has soldiers who serve the people, yet you use this attitude to ridicule and mock them. Shouldn't that be considered a mistake in your stance?"
Han Yubin's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. "I didn't mean that. Don't try to pin the blame on me."
The little one chuckled, "Oh, I was just kidding! I'm young and don't know how to speak properly, Uncle, please don't hold a grudge against a little kid like me~"
Although she apologized verbally, she showed no remorse whatsoever.
After all, she was telling the truth, but Uncle Han was unwilling to listen and couldn't bear such serious consequences.
Zhizhi looked at Han Yubin with her clear black and white pupils, her soft and sweet voice revealing a strength that belied her cute and gentle appearance.
"Uncle Han, my dad will report everything that happened from last night to today to the military region truthfully. Uncle Han, please don't cry then!"
Who lives inside?
Han Yubin grew increasingly anxious, sensing that things were going against his expectations.
His fear was especially instilled in him by Zhizhi's attitude.
The patients living here are definitely not children.
That would be a big deal.
Han Yubin tried desperately to look through the glass, but the woman's back was firmly blocked in front of the hospital bed, and he couldn't see her clearly at all.
"Get out of the way! I'll count to three, and if you don't move, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"—Try being impolite!" Jiang An strode towards him, his eyes blazing with fury. He grabbed Han Yubin by the back of his collar and gritted his teeth, saying, "How long did I call you last night? You were fucking asleep! Why don't you just die forever? Do you know you almost cost someone their life?! Can you afford to pay for that?!"
Han Yubin struggled desperately and finally managed to break free. He reached out to straighten his collar, no longer bothering to pretend to be good-tempered.
“Jiang Anchao, we might be neighbors outside, but in the army I’m the doctor, and I’m in charge of the medicines. What right do you have to raise your voice at me like that!”
