"No, no, no, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. You have to listen to my request first before you refuse. I haven't even finished speaking, and you're already refusing. That's not giving me any face at all."
The other party was from the police station, and she didn't want things to get too tense, since they hadn't meant her any harm and had even helped them before...
"Just say what you want to say, stop with all the preamble. You're not tired of talking, but I'm exhausted just listening to you."
Chen Guodong's lips twitched. Are all young people these days so direct?
There wasn't a single hint of tact.
Is it because he's too old to adapt, or has the world changed?
"That's how it is. I heard... and I saw that Sun Xuelin's illness was cured. I have several other victims like him. They are quite pitiful. Their mental health has been tormented to the point that they are on the verge of self-harm."
“I heard from the chief physician at Dongshi Hospital that you cured Comrade Sun’s illness without any aftereffects. All his bad memories have been cleared. I hope you can help save those who have lost the will to live.”
"They are actually quite pitiful, so let's do them a good deed and help them out."
Su Ying was speechless, her eyes practically rolling to the sky. Didn't Captain Chen know what had just happened?
Making such a request now is truly mindless.
"Have you forgotten what just happened? Or have you forgotten your ultimate purpose for coming to Willow Village?"
Chen Guodong's lips twitched; he had completely forgotten about it without being reminded.
How could he forget something so important? "I was the one who connected us, so I'll take responsibility for anything that happens."
They talk a good game, but when something goes wrong, they're all experts at shirking responsibility.
This has nothing to do with a person's character or profession.
If something really happens, she'll just be the one taking the blame.
She's not stupid anymore.
If it weren't for the whistleblower letter, she might have agreed, but now her mindset has completely changed.
Before doing anything, you still have to consider the Qin family and the Gu family behind her.
Both families would be implicated because of her actions, and she didn't want to continue like this.
It's better to be a little selfish.
After all, if you do a good deed and help others, you might get bitten in return.
The whistleblower letter was something she hadn't expected, but what's done is done, and she couldn't pretend it hadn't happened.
There was always a thorn in her heart that she couldn't pull out.
Saving someone could land me in jail, so I'd better not.
"No, that won't be something you can handle if something goes wrong."
"You should know what kind of background my family has. Even though my father is a high-ranking official, no one will do anything to me, and I can still live the life I want."
"But the fact that I am a capitalist's daughter can never be erased. My identity actually allows me to take the medical licensing exam, which is not difficult for me."
"But I don't want to."
This puzzled Chen Guodong. "Why? Your medical skills are so good. You would definitely pass the exam if you just wanted to."
"That's true, but I don't want to put my dad and my husband in a difficult position. Once I get this certificate, a lot of people will start talking about it."
Chen Guodong suddenly understood something and sighed, "I know it's difficult for you, but I'll have those parents write a consent form. That should be enough, right?"
"Can't."
A strong, clear male voice came from not far away; it was Gu Sinian, who was rushing over here.
"Give up on that idea. We've finally gotten through this difficult time, and I don't want her to face a situation like today again."
“I admit that my wife is a good doctor, but she is not a miracle doctor. She can't cure everyone. If something goes wrong, who will take responsibility? In the end, my wife will have to take the blame.”
"Let me give you a piece of advice: since they're already like this, just respect their fate. My wife isn't a miracle worker; she can't be saved by just anyone."
Chen Guodong was speechless, "But those victims are all innocent."
“But my wife is also not entirely innocent. Today, even with me present, those health officials dared to force themselves on her, completely disregarding the fact that she was pregnant.”
"With such a tough approach, if anything goes wrong with my wife during treatment, she'll be the first one to take the blame."
"Besides, my wife doesn't have a medical license, so don't make things difficult for her. There are so many highly skilled experts in Dongshi, they will definitely have a solution, it's just a matter of time."
They've all tried to commit suicide.
I don't want to live anymore.
Those so-called experts were completely helpless, while Sun Xuelin lived as if nothing had happened, showing no signs that he was not a victim at all.
After seeing Sun Xuelin today, his desire to invite Su Ying became even stronger.
Those victims are truly innocent. Some of them have been tortured to the point of mental instability. Wouldn't it be a good thing to live like Sun Xuelin?
He couldn't understand why the couple was so resistant.
To be able to save someone but not to is truly heartless.
“If those experts really had a solution, I wouldn’t have asked your wife for help. Don’t you know better than anyone what the situation was like when you went down into the basement that day?”
"They are so pitiful, why not help them and let them return to a normal life?"
Gu Sinian felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about how those people had tried to take his wife away today and wouldn't let him go with her. If he hadn't been firm, those people who acted so rudely might not have been able to save his wife's baby.
“There’s no room for discussion. My wife needs to go back and rest. Although I sympathize with those people in the basement, who have endured so much suffering to survive, if something happens, it’s not something a small-time East City police captain like you can handle.”
Yes, if something goes wrong, who will listen to what a lowly police captain like him has to say?
"What if we try a different approach? Would you be able to accept that?"
Gu Sinian frowned. "What method?"
"It was Comrade Su who provided guidance and had an experienced TCM doctor perform the procedure, so the responsibility wouldn't fall on you."
Gu Sinian still shook his head, "I disagree. What if that TCM doctor... has any problems during the treatment? Wouldn't the responsibility just fall on my wife? This method is even less feasible."
Chen Guodong was extremely anxious. This wouldn't work, that wouldn't work, what should he do?
This couple was the most difficult people he had ever met, bar none.
"How about this, we'll take your wife to the county town in the next few days. She won't have to do anything; she can just provide a solution. Whether or not to adopt it is the doctor's business. This way, you won't have to take the blame."
"You can do that?"
"Anything is acceptable as long as it saves lives. If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement."
Su Ying sympathized with the victims, but she had to protect herself while sympathizing with others, otherwise it would all be for nothing.
"Okay. I'll only be responsible for coming up with the plan; I won't handle anything after that. Don't come to me if anything goes wrong."
"Don't worry. I definitely won't come after you. I mean what I say."
