Poison (9)
Yu Shu applied to go to the hospital with them on the grounds that relevant examination reports could better prevent students from developing similar symptoms.
Naturally, the school leaders disagreed; their leadership only knew that the police were handling the matter.
Fortunately, after meeting Zeng Zhiqiang in the teahouse, some of the police officers in charge of this bizarre incident were more perceptive and guessed that the sudden words from their superiors were closely related to one of Yu Shu and Jiang Yu, so they became more cautious.
Just then, a team doctor from the police force came forward to help. This team doctor happened to know Yu Shu's medical attainments and the inside story of his unemployment. Yu Shu followed him to the hospital, and he took over the infirmary temporarily in place of Yu Shu.
The hospital nurse knew Yu Shu. There had been frequent incidents at No. 6 Middle School recently. When she saw the student wearing the No. 6 Middle School uniform, she knew what was going on. She quickly helped to complete the formalities and brought the person over.
Yu Shu's most intuitive judgment about the unconscious male student was that he was not in a coma due to illness, but due to poisoning.
The unusual skin color is a good proof of this. Normally, red skin color is either caused by anger and blood rushing up, or by fever. However, his actual physiological condition is that his body temperature is low.
"Send him home." The doctor took a few looks and gave a direct conclusion.
"Don't you want to do a physical examination?" Yu Shu asked doubtfully.
The doctor shook his head. "There's no need to waste money. Over a dozen students at No. 6 Middle School have the same symptoms. We've run thousands of tests and found nothing abnormal."
The boy's parents arrived late, and looked at Yu Shu with resentment and helplessness.
They knew that they couldn't blame anyone for their son's illness, but they still couldn't help but resent the school and put all the blame on the unlucky No. 6 Middle School.
Furthermore, how could the students' parents not know the consequences of this disease? The news spread among the parents' group. Hui Mi became thinner and thinner, and his body functions gradually declined. The student who asked for leave at the beginning had already suffered organ failure.
They didn't even say a word of thanks, they just hugged the person in their arms and left without looking back.
Yu Shu sighed silently, turned around and asked the nurse who had brought him here.
"Is it convenient now?" Yu Shu looked around the nurses' station and saw that there were few patients, so he asked with a gentle smile.
As he said this, he placed the Pocari Sweat that he bought from the vending machine in front of the nurse.
The nurse paused her work, hung the pen in her breast pocket, and took the cold drink with a smile: "I'm not busy right now. Does Doctor Yu have any questions?"
When Yu Shu was working, he not only got along well with most of his colleagues in the hospital, but was also quite popular. When he lost his job, many of his colleagues signed a collective protest on his behalf. However, in order not to affect the future work of other colleagues, he resolutely chose to leave.
"Nothing, I just wanted to chat with you."
As Yu Shu spoke, he consciously took the notebook.
The nurse was stunned for a moment, then dropped her relaxed tone and said in an official tone, "This involves the patient's privacy and cannot be seen."
"It seems that there are not many people here today." Yu Shu casually talked about some irrelevant topics and continued to browse without paying any attention.
Of course he knew that this involved the patient's privacy and he couldn't see it, but if he insisted on looking at it, it was his personal responsibility and had nothing to do with the nurse.
Even if the nurse was willing to tell him if he asked, he couldn't ask.
Because he is not a policeman and does not have a search warrant, whether the nurse answers his questions or agrees to let him see the record book, it is a disguised disclosure of the patient's privacy, which will lead to the nurse being fired.
Since he needs the information, and the way he gets it is unreasonable, then we cannot let others bear the risk.
The nurse's decision not to snatch the record book back and prevent him from seeing it was already the biggest concession she could make.
"Well, there are fewer patients coming to see the doctor today." The nurse returned to her calm tone and continued the conversation.
Yu Shu turned to the fifth page and saw records that matched his age and symptoms.
"Li Minghao, 17 years old, is unconscious, his skin is slightly red, and his body temperature is low. He is being kept in the hospital for observation."
Looking at the date again, Li Minghao was admitted to the hospital for observation a week earlier than the surgery that ended his career.
Less than a week later, the words "Li Minghao woke up and was discharged from the hospital" appeared in the record book again.
But didn’t they say he couldn’t wake up? How come Li Minghao woke up?
Yu Shu flipped through the pages again with doubt in his mind, and found five or six similar records one after another, but none of them mentioned the need to stay in the hospital for observation.
"You can't look at this! What are you doing?!"
The head nurse scolded, and before she finished speaking she snatched the notebook from Yu Shu's hand.
She was new and didn't know Yu Shu. She turned around and lectured the nurse, "Did you get your training for nothing? The record book involves the patient's privacy. How can you just let anyone see it?"
Yu Shu knocked on the head nurse's desk, interrupting her scolding. He smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I deliberately wanted to see it. It has nothing to do with the nurse. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance."
The head nurse looked up and down at the gentle and pretty Yu Shu, and thought that if she really wanted to hold someone accountable, the responsibility wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. If she hadn't taken the initiative to look through it, how could she have admitted it so readily and said so firmly that she would check the surveillance footage?
She softened her tone and taught him, "Even if you want to find your old medical records, you can't take them privately. If you want to know, provide your personal information to the nurse and ask her to help you find it. Don't do that in the future, understand?"
Yu Shu's eyes were curved and filled with the brilliance of early summer. He nodded in agreement: "Yeah, I see. Thanks for the reminder."
Yu Shu had a pretty good memory and remembered most of the names and dates. When he returned to school, he even brought dinner to the team doctor who helped him as a thank you.
However, he asked the team doctor to get it at the school gate, for fear that it would have a bad influence on the students if they saw it, and also for fear that there would be an unpleasant smell in the small space of the school clinic.
When Yu Shu returned to the school clinic, Sun Mengting was gone, but Wang Zhiyao had not left yet and was still doing his exam papers in the clinic as if no one was around.
"Aren't you going to have dinner?" Yu Shu glanced at the time. It was 5:56, and evening classes were about to start at 6:30. Wang Zhiyao smelled of disinfectant from the school clinic, without any smell of cafeteria fumes. It was obvious that he hadn't eaten.
Wang Zhiyao wrote a solution on the math paper, then stopped and made eye contact with Yu Shu: "Let's do it later." Then he continued to solve the problem.
He looked focused and started to write formulas after reading the question several times.
The final question in high school mathematics was quite difficult. Yu Shu was afraid of interrupting Wang Zhiyao's train of thought, so he didn't speak in a hurry. However, Wang Zhiyao seemed to have the standard answer in his mind and finished it in one go.
Yu Shu just watched Wang Zhiyao's delightful problem-solving process.
"Forget it, I haven't eaten either. Come with me to the staff cafeteria."
Yu Shu guessed that the two boys didn't get along with Wang Zhiyao in the afternoon. They didn't go to eat until almost dinner time, probably because they were afraid of him.
However, Yu Shu did not say it directly, but beat around the bush. By saying this he could also give Wang Zhiyao a way out. Since students could not enter the staff cafeteria, no one would cause trouble for him.
After all, adolescent boys are very concerned about their reputation and have strong self-esteem, and they are afraid that others will see the difficulties they are hiding.
Yu Shu didn't let Wang Zhiyao refuse: "I didn't go to the cafeteria at noon today, and I don't know how to get there. Could you please take me there? Thank you."
A series of verbal offensives left Wang Zhiyao no room for refusal, and he obediently led the way.
Yu Shu passed by the first floor of the cafeteria and met the two boys. They looked at Wang Zhiyao with disdain and a hint of ridicule. Their evil intentions were written all over their faces and could not be hidden.
Fortunately, Wang Zhiyao was walking with him, the new school doctor, so the two boys did not take any further action.
"Is it getting better? Even if you're a day student, you have to finish your evening self-study on time before going home. You can't skip it just because it's not your turn."
Wang Zhiyao's new class teacher didn't care about Wang Zhiyao's thoughts at all. Whenever he saw him, he would teach him to study hard and keep up with the progress and not fall behind.
Yu Shu was speechless. Do high schools now only care about students' physical and mental health and grades? There was obviously bullying in the class, but she didn't care at all.
Yu Shu pulled Wang Zhiyao behind him, blocking them between the two of them, and said with a kind smile, "Teacher, you care so much about Wang Zhiyao's studies. You've really worked so hard for him. But don't worry, he's very serious. He just finished three test papers. I saw that he hadn't come to eat, so I was afraid he would be hungry, so I brought him here."
"He's still feeling a little unwell, though. Let him stay in the school clinic for evening self-study. I'll take a look at his condition. I'll also help supervise his studies, so don't worry."
The head teacher smiled with satisfaction after hearing Yu Shu's words. He walked around to Yu Shu's side and patted Wang Zhiyao on the shoulder: "That's good. I'll be leaving first."
There were almost no people in the staff cafeteria. Yu Shu found a seat in a corner and sat down. He served Wang Zhiyao a bunch of meat and vegetables, and even scooped a large bone with meat on it into his soup.
"Brother Yu, thank you." Wang Zhiyao lowered his head and looked at the food and said softly.
He didn't dare look up at Yu Shu, for fear of being laughed at.
His parents ignored him, his classmates excluded and bullied him for no apparent reason, and Yu Shu's casual kindness made him feel turbulent.
From the beginning when Yu Huan came to his rescue, Yu Shu took the opportunity to treat this stranger to lunch, to Jiang Yu and Yu Shu rescuing him from unconsciousness in the gymnasium, and today's favoritism and protection, although these were small things, for him who had long lacked love and was bullied, they were so pure and beautiful, and they had already made him have a strong desire to repay.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Wang Zhiyao put a lot of mental preparation into saying this. He knew that he was just a student and there wasn't much he could do to help, and he had already told everything he knew on his phone.
Yu Shu blinked, as if waiting for this sentence: "Do you know Li Minghao?"
Hearing this name, Wang Zhiyao's body couldn't help but twitch. It was obvious that this person left a very bad impression on him.
Yu Shu knew he had asked the right person.
Wang Zhiyao took two bites of his rice and continued with his head down, "He was the sports committee member of our class. His family was very wealthy. He suddenly fainted half a year ago and was sent to the hospital. He took leave and hasn't returned yet."
He deliberately concealed the experience of being bullied by Li Minghao and spoke calmly, but the slight trembling in his hand holding the rice spoon had betrayed him.
Yu Shu saw through Wang Zhiyao's deliberate disguise of calmness. Li Minghao should be the one who took the lead in bullying Wang Zhiyao, but he took Wang Zhiyao's dignity into consideration and did not say anything.
"Oh, that's it."
Wang Zhiyao lowered his head even lower, fearing that the cafeteria’s surveillance camera would capture his face clearly.
"His family owns a company. His father said at the previous parent-teacher meeting that those who want to earn some pocket money after the college entrance examination can go to his company to try live streaming." Wang Zhiyao glanced down at the ground on both sides, fearing that someone would pass by silently and hear him say these words that were strictly forbidden to be mentioned.
Company. Live.
Li Minghao. Li Cheng.
It can’t be such a coincidence, right?
Yu Shu was stunned for two seconds: "It's better not to chat here, be careful of ears." He looked around the empty staff cafeteria vigilantly.
Just because there seems to be no one there doesn’t mean there is actually no one there.
Who knows if the uncle and aunt in charge of the cafeteria heard it and told others.
For Wang Zhiyao's safety, it's better to be cautious.
At the same time, Yu Shu became more certain that going to find Li Cheng was a very correct and effective suggestion made by Jiang Yu.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Jiang Yu: "When will Li Cheng come back? His son Li Minghao was the first to show symptoms. I saw the hospital records and it shows that he has recovered and been discharged, but he has not returned to school."
Jiang Yu replied immediately: "The day after tomorrow, which happens to be Saturday."
