Mr. Good is injured
He adjusted his posture slightly while holding Xiao Fei's arm. When he spoke again, his tone was as flat as if he was discussing tomorrow's weather, avoiding the important points and being extremely brief.
"Fan Zhong's mother has a tumor near the brain stem, in a very tricky location." He paused, looking at Gu Yansheng calmly. "The surgery is very risky. We explained clearly during the preoperative consultation that hemiplegia is a possibility. Now that it has appeared, the family is a little emotional, which is normal. There will be no problem with the procedure, so don't worry."
He has seen many family members like Fan Zhong. The operation went smoothly and achieved the expected resection range.
After the operation, the patient woke up and had the expected complications. The long-term, high-intensity rehabilitation treatment was too expensive, so they always wanted to find a reason to get some money.
Therefore, their first choice is to take action against the hospital, question the surgical operation, and hope to extort compensation through complaints or even lawsuits.
He didn't want Gu Yansheng to hear too much about this disgusting motive, and a cowardly and incompetent person like Fan Zhong who liked to use crocodile tears to gain sympathy would not be able to make any waves.
"So, do you understand?" Jiang Lin's tone implied "We've finished talking about this, can we end it now?"
"It's not a big deal, don't worry about it." He deliberately emphasized the three words "worry about it", and his eyes swept meaningfully over the neck that Gu Yansheng had touched when he "threatened" him just now.
Gu Yansheng's brows didn't fully relax as he listened to this overly brief, even somewhat evasive explanation. Fan Zhong had personally introduced Jiang Lin to help arrange the surgery, and he wouldn't forgive himself if this incident truly caused Jiang Lin trouble...
But Jiang Lin spoke with such confidence, and his eyes were frank and calm. The strong confidence that belonged to a top surgeon was indeed very soothing.
Moreover, when Jiang Lin said "there is no problem with the process", Gu Yansheng believed it. He believed in Jiang Lin's professionalism and principles.
But... the faint uneasiness and worry in my heart had not completely dissipated. I always felt that Jiang Lin seemed to be hiding something crucial.
"But..." Gu Yansheng wanted to ask more.
"No buts."
Jiang Lin interrupted him, his eyes carrying an unquestionable command, "Your 'bargaining chip' has lost its effect on me. If you don't go to bed, I don't mind personally 'tying' you to the bed."
His tone was calm, but the word "bind" carried a strange intimidation when it came out of his mouth. As he spoke, he used his free hand to pat Gu Yansheng's head very naturally and with a touch of comfort. The movement was so fast that it almost seemed like an illusion.
Just as Gu Yansheng was stunned by his slap, a strong, irresistible drowsiness suddenly swept over him! The antihistamine he had just taken finally began to take effect. Coupled with the worry that Jiang Lin had forcibly suppressed in his mind, the feeling of fatigue overwhelmed him like a tide.
He couldn't help but yawn loudly, tears came out, and his eyelids became extremely heavy in an instant.
"Hmm..." Gu Yansheng shook his dizzy head, trying to stay awake and ask clearly, but the outline of Jiang Lin in front of him began to blur.
"Go to sleep if you're tired." Jiang Lin's voice rang in his ears, with a hypnotic calmness, "The sky won't fall."
Gu Yansheng stood there, the remaining touch and the surging sleepiness intertwined together, making his mind a complete mess.
Forget it... Jiang Lin said it was okay, so it should be okay... right? He's so powerful...
"Okay..." Gu Yansheng rubbed his eyes, his voice filled with sleepiness, "Then... you should go to bed early too." He no longer insisted, turned around and walked towards his guest room, his steps a little unsteady.
Xiaofei barked in Jiang Lin's arms, as if wanting to follow.
Jiang Lin lowered his head, patted Xiaofei's head gently, and whispered, "Let him sleep." His eyes followed Gu Yansheng's slightly tired back as he disappeared at the door of the guest room until the door was closed.
In the master bedroom, Jiang Lin placed Xiao Fei on his own cushion. He stood by the window, looking out at the dark night, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the deep purple tooth marks on his neck.
Thinking of Gu Yansheng's confused look when he "threatened" him in order to get him to talk, but was easily knocked down by the effect of the drug, the almost undetectable arc with a bit of helplessness and indulgence appeared again at the corners of his tightly pursed lips.
He would handle the dirty work. Gu Yansheng only needed to...stay in the safe zone he had designated.
The early morning sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, making Gu Yansheng's eyelids twitch. He opened his eyes abruptly, still feeling the hangover drowsiness, but much more awake than when the drugs had forced him down last night.
Last night, Jiang Lin's nonchalant yet absolutely controlling attitude, along with his words "the sky won't fall," briefly soothed him. But at that moment, the image of Fan Zhong, tearfully begging for help, clearly emerged in his mind.
"No, I have to ask clearly."
Gu Yansheng's uneasiness surged again. He sat up, fumbled for the phone on the bedside table, opened the address book, found the name "Fan Zhong", and dialed it.
The voice coming from the receiver was cold and mechanical: "Hello, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."
Gu Yansheng frowned, hung up, and tried to send a WeChat message again. A glaring red exclamation point suddenly appeared next to the message bubble, followed by a line of small text: "You are not their friend yet, so this message cannot be sent."
Got blocked.
Gu Yansheng's heart sank. The family member who questioned the surgery and wanted an explanation had blocked him, the referral agent? This move was like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing the little bit of peace in his heart that Jiang Lin's confidence had barely maintained.
Was Fan Zhong guilty? Or was he trying to distance himself from the matter? Either way, it meant that the matter was definitely not as "not a big deal" as Jiang Lin claimed. Fan Zhong was likely holding back a bigger plan, perhaps even preparing to harm Jiang Lin!
This realization made Gu Yansheng feel uneasy. Jiang Lin wanted to protect him and isolate him from this matter, but since he had introduced Fan Zhong, he couldn't stay out of it.
Gu Yansheng quickly stood up and washed up, his eyes becoming determined. He wanted to go to the hospital to find Fan Zhong and ask him face to face!
After a quick bite, he and Xiao Fei were the only ones left at home. Jiang Lin had already left for work, and after Gu Yansheng had settled Xiao Fei down, he also rushed to the research institute to work.
The working environment of the research institute should be rigorous and peaceful, but something went wrong today.
Brother Hu, who is in the same group with Gu Yansheng, looks honest and simple. Who would have thought that he actually has someone outside and even got her pregnant.
To make matters worse, his wife had just given birth and was still in confinement! Somehow, the mistress had made a scene right outside the research institute's laboratory, crying and demanding Xiao Hu take responsibility. Xiao Hu's wife had somehow gotten wind of the situation and rushed over, her still-confinement child in her arms. Suddenly, a moment had passed.
The corridor outside the laboratory became a battlefield: the two women were crying and quarreling, Xiao Hu, with a pale face, wanted to separate them but didn't dare to touch them, the baby was crying in fear, and the onlookers were trying to dissuade and talk about it. The scene was in chaos.
Gu Yansheng happened to come out of the next door laboratory and witnessed the farce. He saw Xiao Hu's wife was very emotional, holding the child and standing unsteadily, and was about to fall.
The mistress was waving her arms hysterically, and in her hand she had grabbed a sharp paper-cutting knife, slashing around randomly, shouting, "If you don't let me live, no one will live!"
"careful!"
Mr. Haohao's heart tightened and he rushed over without thinking. His target was Xiao Hu's wife and children, wanting to protect them away from the danger zone.
Amidst the chaos, he felt a sharp, stabbing pain on the outside of his left arm, accompanied by the soft sound of fabric tearing. Looking down, he saw a long gash on his arm, blood quickly soaking through the sleeve of his light-colored lab coat. It was the woman's reckless wielding of a box cutter that had caused the cut!
"Ah! Xiao Gu!" someone exclaimed.
"Quick! Press the wound!" a quick-reacting colleague shouted immediately.
Gu Yansheng endured the pain and pressed his right hand tightly against the wound to stop the bleeding. His face instantly turned pale due to the pain and blood loss.
The chaos was finally brought under control temporarily by the security guards and leaders who arrived, but Gu Yansheng's injuries needed urgent treatment.
"Brother Gu! How are you?" Lin Yang rushed to his side immediately, looking at the blood oozing from his arm and his pale face, his eyes full of anxiety and heartache.
"I'm fine, it's just a superficial wound." Gu Yansheng endured the pain and shook his head, with fine cold sweat already oozing from his forehead.
"Is this just a superficial wound? There's so much blood! Let's go to the hospital right now!" Lin Yang said nothing more and almost half-supported Gu Yansheng out of the research institute. ...
We drove directly to the hospital. The farce at the research institute calmed down briefly because of Mr. Haohao's injury.
