Du Junsheng's surgery on Lu Cuihua was very successful. In less than three weeks, she was able to get out of bed with support.
Before the surgery, a deposit of five hundred yuan was required. The Li family father and son genuinely couldn't afford it. Xiao Yujie went home, but her mother kicked her out. From that day on, even Li Guodong treated her coldly.
Just when Li Shaojie was in a dilemma, Secretary Chen of the college learned of the situation and lent him money in the name of the college. This solved the Li family's problem.
Du Junsheng, Lu Cuihua's attending physician, did not participate in her postoperative rehabilitation. He transferred her medical records to other doctors at the hospital.
Because the college's investigation team arrived. Before the investigation results were released, Du Junsheng was notified that he was no longer allowed to participate in any work at the affiliated hospital.
As a key witness and whistleblower, Li Shaojie was the first to be summoned for questioning.
The meeting was held in the conference room on the second floor of the main administration building.
When Li Shaojie walked out of the department office, his colleagues were all engrossed in their work. But Old Wei, who had clearly answered the phone in front of everyone, had made his point very clearly…
"Teacher Li, the investigation team wants you to come over immediately. They said it's in the conference room on the second floor of the administration building."
Upon hearing this, Li Shaojie was so startled that he dropped the pen. A blot of black ink instantly stained the clean notebook.
He hadn't expected it to happen so quickly; Director Zhou hadn't said it would be this fast. He also hadn't expected an investigation team to come; he thought they would conduct a more discreet investigation. He certainly hadn't expected them to talk to him. Wouldn't that mean everyone would know he was also one of the whistleblowers?
Li Shaojie cautiously observed the expressions on the faces of his colleagues. No one looked at him; they, like Du Junsheng sitting at the back, remained calm and methodically carried out their work.
Along the way, Li Shaojie longed to encounter someone who could interrupt him, make him stop, and exchange a few words, even just a greeting. He wanted to avoid feeling completely isolated from the world.
But for some reason, he didn't encounter many people to begin with, and everyone was walking with their heads slightly down, not even making eye contact with him.
Did everyone already know? Li Shaojie nervously knocked on the conference room door.
The tables and chairs in the conference room had been deliberately arranged. Behind the three tables arranged side by side at the front, Secretary Chen and Director Zhou sat at the very edge. Their expressions were similar yet not quite the same.
Secretary Chen's expression was unusually serious, his tightly pursed lips slightly drooping. Director Zhou, though expressionless, had remarkably bright eyes.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense. Li Shaojie didn't dare to look closely at the other four. He only glanced at them and saw that there were three men and one woman. The woman in the middle was a middle-aged woman with short hair and a round face.
"Teacher Li, who are these four people...?"
Just as Secretary Chen was about to take the opportunity to give Li Shaojie some instructions, he was interrupted by the middle-aged woman.
"Secretary Chen, there's no need for such a detailed explanation. Let's get straight to understanding the situation."
The woman was very rude, and Secretary Chen didn't say anything more. This made Li Shaojie even more nervous. He stared at the table and carefully wiped the sweat from his palms on his pants.
"Comrade Li Shaojie, my surname is Wei, you can just call me Director Wei. We hope you won't feel burdened, just answer our questions truthfully and help us understand the situation clearly. How did you and Du Wenting meet?"
The woman's voice was very serious. Li Shaojie swallowed hard. "We met when Professor Du invited us to his home for dinner."
"Oh, Professor Du often invites you to meals, right? Or is there some kind of hint when he invites you?"
Li Shaojie subconsciously looked at Director Zhou. Director Zhou deliberately avoided his gaze and looked elsewhere.
"At the time, there were rumors at the school that there were openings for students to stay on as faculty members. I heard from Professor Du's wife and Fang Minghui that Du Wenting had been assigned to the Second Middle School as an English teacher after graduation, but she was still single. They asked Fang Minghui to keep an eye out for suitable candidates from the college."
Director Wei didn't ask who Fang Minghui was, as if she already knew. She then asked...
"During your relationship with Du Wenting, you personally witnessed Du Junsheng accepting gifts before performing surgery on Mr. Lin, an overseas Chinese. Is that right?"
"Yes"
"Could you tell me the specific contents of the gift and how much it costs?"
"In addition to a lot of fruit delivered to my home, there was also two thousand yuan in cash and two watches."
"What brand is the watch, or do you know how much it costs?"
“This,” Li Shaojie rolled up his sleeve and took off the watch from his wrist, “is this one, and there’s also a women’s watch. It’s on Du Wenting.”
Director Wei gave a wink to the colleague beside him, who got up, walked over to Li Shaojie, and took the watch. Director Wei glanced at it, then put it aside.
"Two thousand yuan, you saw him accept it with your own eyes, didn't you? How do you know it was two thousand yuan? Were you involved?"
"I heard it from Fang Minghui. Du... Du Junsheng handed it to Fang Minghui after he received it. Fang Minghui took it out, counted it, and said, 'What a generous gift.'"
As Li Shaojie spoke, he became more and more comfortable and relaxed. He could now tell from their tone of voice what they were interested in.
He took the initiative to say, "Du Junsheng and Fang Minghui, because they accepted money from the other party, also used their positions to give Mr. Lin special treatment."
“Oh, really?” Director Wei said with interest. “Tell me more about it.”
He was busy with his job at the school at the time, so he had no idea. Li Shaojie couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his brow and made up a few things on the spot. Director Wei was clearly not very interested in these, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
