Chapter 41041 The Disappearing Baby
Shu Jinyue was a little confused. She didn't understand, "What do you mean by their son? Wasn't the baby you delivered a girl?"
Sometimes it's a son, sometimes it's a daughter, I don't know whether it's a boy or a girl.
This is how Qin Haiyang’s head grew so big.
"Yes, that's the problem. Since she was admitted to the hospital last night, I, my instructor, and another young female doctor have been the ones who delivered her. Of course, I couldn't help much. The family members minded that I was a gay, so I didn't do much. But I saw clearly that the baby has been a girl since she was born. There was no boy at all."
"But the woman's family insisted that they had twins, a boy and a girl, and that their son was missing. We must have stolen him, and they threatened to report him to the police."
First of all, there was really only one child, and it was a girl. The experienced doctor who had been doing midwifery work for so many years would not have made a mistake about the gender, let alone the number of babies.
Secondly, there were three doctors on site during the entire process, and several nurses coming in and out. With so many eyes watching, even if you really wanted to steal, you wouldn't find a chance!
Not to mention that even if she was really pregnant with twins, not many people go to hospitals to give birth these days, many give birth at home, she was the only woman giving birth that day, all the midwives never left the department and had no contact with outsiders, it was impossible for such a big baby to disappear out of thin air, right?
Qin Haiyang said indignantly: "This family is completely unreasonable. They brought dozens of people to surround the department and made a big fuss. They insisted that the children were twins, a boy and a girl. Now there is only a girl, so we must have hidden the boy."
"When she was admitted to the hospital, my instructor felt her belly and felt the position of the fetus, and it was just one. How could it be twins? Now we really regret it. If we had known they were going to blackmail us, we should have done an ultrasound when she was admitted to the hospital to leave evidence. Now that the baby is born, they took out the ultrasound sheet during pregnancy and said it was two babies. We really can't explain ourselves even if we have a mouth full of mouths."
This family had some connections in a certain association, so the hospital took the case very seriously and promised to give them an explanation.
"The hospital has detained all of us who entered and left the delivery room today for investigation. I'm an intern, so I was able to come out, so I'd like to ask you for help first." Qin Haiyang's forehead was covered with sweat.
Jin Yue knew that he was able to come out because of his father's relationship. How could anyone else have such "privilege"? Let's investigate it thoroughly first. If it's not clear, wait until the family members are satisfied with the smashing, looting and swearing. Don't mess with those people.
In a word, interns are even worse off.
Zhao Wanqiu was listening nearby and said, "These people are really something. They want to get involved in everything. They know nothing about our medical and health industry!"
"Mom, please stop talking. Have you ever encountered or heard of such strange things in clinical practice before?"
Zhao Wanqiu's attention was immediately diverted. "How could I not have heard about this? Two women in adjacent beds gave birth almost at the same time, and they gave birth to two babies, a boy and a girl. The one who gave birth to a girl said that the hospital had switched their baby, and theirs was a fat boy. They also blamed the doctors and nurses for being bribed by the other family, and they said all kinds of nasty things... In the end, when they tested the blood types, it was clearly a girl."
Shu Jin found it more funny. It seemed that Ms. Zhao Wanqiu didn't understand what he meant and answered the question irrelevantly. However, the example she gave also provided another idea - could the reason why the family members of the municipal hospital were making such a fuss be due to the idea of favoring boys over girls?
She was obsessed with having a baby boy throughout her pregnancy, so when she didn't see one after giving birth, she was very disappointed and even blamed the doctor who delivered her, thinking that the doctor had stolen her son?
"We thought so too, but when we reported it to the hospital, they just wanted to smooth things over. You know, they... ah!"
The hospital doesn't dare to offend them and even wants the doctors to take the blame and pay compensation, but who dares to admit it? If they admit it, their career will be over. If the family doesn't give in, they might even have to go to jail. Who would go to jail for something they didn't do?
Even if he is released in the future, people will still point fingers at him: Look, this is the doctor who stole someone else's child. He has a very evil heart.
If things go wrong, three generations of your ancestors will be criticized.
This attitude of the hospital is really chilling. The more she thought about it, if she stayed in such a group for too long, she would become disheartened, right? Then he began to turn into a cold and ruthless work machine. It didn’t matter whether the illness was cured or not, but he must not get himself involved.
Since the company can't protect me, I have to protect myself.
"Before I came out, my teacher and the young doctor asked me to find a way to prove their innocence, but I couldn't find the reason even after searching through the textbooks."
Textbooks only teach medical students how to cure diseases and save lives, but they do not teach them how to see through the lies of patients' families, let alone how to fight against power.
"I think Western medicine has no way to help. Can you Chinese medicine practitioners expose them by looking at their pulse?" Qin Haiyang asked tentatively.
Shu Jinyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Didn't he think Chinese medicine was too mysterious?
"Jin Yue, didn't you find out that your sister-in-law is pregnant with twins? It's impossible to mistake a single fetus for a twin. Can you go and check it out for her now?" Zhao Wanqiu said enthusiastically, "There are as many fetuses as there are in the belly. How can one be missing out of nowhere? This is clearly someone trying to cause trouble!"
Qin Haiyang nodded repeatedly. He also remembered that he had heard Sister Qiao praising Jin Yue's medical skills in the street office before. With the mentality of trying everything possible, he came to see her.
If the child was not born, they would have plenty of evidence to prove their innocence. The problem is that the child has already been born. How can they prove how many fetuses were in the belly before they delivered the baby? That family is definitely relying on them.
"That teacher was very kind and taught me everything he knew. That young doctor was also very warm-hearted. She started working the night shift before her own child was weaned. She said her child was in poor health and wanted to squeeze out some milk to give to the family to feed their child. But the family refused to allow it, saying they were afraid she would collude with others."
If this continues, breastfeeding mothers will be forced to stop producing milk.
"I want to help and get them out quickly, so I'm asking you to help me. I know it's hard to ask, but I really have no other choice... please." Qin Haiyang looked into her eyes and said very seriously.
Shu Jinyue is a person who repays kindness with kindness and revenges with revenge. Qin Haiyang has helped her so many times, she will help him even if it is just to repay this favor, not to mention that this also involves some bad habits that she doesn't like, as well as the use of power over professional and technical talents...
"Okay, I can only say give it a try, but I'm not sure if I can see anything."
"The woman in labor in their family is very reasonable and easy to talk to, but the family members are too difficult to deal with. When the time comes, I will convince the woman to agree to let you see her." As Qin Haiyang said this, Shu Jinyue sat on the back seat of his bicycle.
People who don’t know how to ride a bike are destined to sit behind others.
She couldn't help but think of the last time Xu Duan taught her to ride a bike. She taught him for an afternoon and thought she could continue learning, but she got delayed in Lijia Village again. She forgot what she learned that day... She would have to start from the beginning again next time. Xu Duan must be very troubled.
Oh no, she doesn't want him to teach her!
The more Shu Jin thought about it, the angrier she got at him. She was so stubborn that she thought that even if she could never learn to ride a bicycle, she didn't want him to teach her.
The two of them quickly arrived at the city hospital and saw that the outpatient hall was still busy with people coming and going. They guessed that the incident in the obstetrics and gynecology department had not yet affected the entire hospital, and the hospital had some good news under the hood.
Qin Haiyang took Shu Jinyue to the obstetrics and gynecology ward on the third floor. In fact, there was no specialized obstetrics and gynecology department yet, and even the ward was mixed with the surgical ward, but the family was well-off and asked to live in a separate room.
He first made sure that the family members were not in the ward, then went in to explain the situation to the woman in labor, and only allowed Shu Jinyue to enter after obtaining her consent.
The woman in labor was a young woman in her twenties. She was fat, pale, listless, and her eyes were swollen like two big walnuts. She didn't sit up, but just lay on the bed. "Hello, my name is Song Yingying."
"Hello, my name is Shu Jinyue, and I'm a Chinese medicine practitioner."
Song Yingying nodded slightly and asked her to sit down and talk.
"My family was too emotional about this matter. Let me apologize to you first, but they didn't mean to cause trouble. It's really... their emotions, I feel worse than they do." Song Yingying started crying as she spoke.
"This is clearly my child that I carried for ten months, and we've always had twins, a boy and a girl. How come only a girl came out of the delivery room? Where's my son? This is the child that our family has been looking forward to for two years, how can he just disappear like that? Who can bear this?"
Jin Yue listened quietly, not knowing how to comfort her. Judging from what the woman in labor said, she did not lie, but there was no need for Qin Haiyang to lie either.
None of the people who had contact with the child that day left the hospital. Their families and relatives and friends are all under investigation, and it should be possible to find out whether the child was stolen.
"By the way, your family insists that they are twins, a boy and a girl. Can you show me the medical records?"
The woman in labor shook her head. "We've handed it over to the Public Security Bureau. This is important evidence. You don't trust us to keep it, and we also..."
That's true. If the prescription is accidentally lost, the mother will be in a difficult position and it's natural for them to be wary of the hospital.
"Can you tell me what happened then?"
Song Yingying paused and took a deep breath. "In April this year, when I first became pregnant, I had an ultrasound examination. At that time, the doctor clearly told us that I was pregnant with twins. There were two gestational sacs, and it was very likely that they would be twins, a boy and a girl. At that time, our whole family was very happy."
Jin Yue quickly asked, "Which hospital did you check in?"
"Our Dongcheng District Hospital."
That's a good hospital. It wouldn't be so ridiculous that they made a misdiagnosis and decided how many babies to be pregnant.
"Were the results of the examination all good?"
"It's all good. It says both gestational sacs have fetal heartbeats. How could it be wrong?" Song Yingying became excited again. "Although I believe the medical staff of your hospital are of good character, we didn't lie. Our son is indeed lost. We can't just let it go."
"Okay, okay, calm down first. If this is really our problem, we will handle it as we want. We have no complaints, but we also have the right to understand the specific situation. Don't you agree?" Jin Yue saw that her expression had eased, and continued to persuade her, "One of the doctors who delivered your baby last night was also a new mother. Her baby is not in good health. He is only four months old and needs breast milk. We also hope that she can clear her suspicion as soon as possible and go back to take care of the child."
Speaking of children, Song Yingying's expression softened. She had just become a mother and could fully understand this feeling. "Okay, we just want the truth."
After she calmed down, Shu Jinyue continued to ask: "When was the last time you had an ultrasound examination?"
"Haven't done it since April."
Because her husband was later transferred to work in a remote area, she was worried about him so she went with him to take care of him. She did not return to Shucheng until he was more than eight months old.
"Have you ever had a prenatal checkup there?"
"Yes, I did. I went to the county hospital when I first moved there, but that hospital didn't have ultrasound equipment, so they just listened to the fetal heartbeat. My wife used her connections to find the most authoritative obstetrician and gynecologist in the county, and we waited in line for two days before we were able to see her. When she told me everything was fine, I felt that all the waiting was worth it."
The doctor that was found after a lot of twists and turns should have his skills recognized, Jin Yue said to himself.
"Later, I went to the commune hospital there for several prenatal checkups. Every time, the doctor said that the two children were fine, and my belly was much bigger than that of ordinary pregnant women. How come my son disappeared when I came to your hospital?"
"Do you still remember what happened during the production process?" Jin Yue no longer had any hope and just asked casually.
"I was in so much pain that I couldn't tell east from west. I could only hear the children crying. I didn't know how many children were crying. I just remember that not long after, the children were taken out and my mother-in-law started crying. Then my husband yelled. I quickly asked what happened, but no one cared."
The two sides were arguing and she, the pregnant woman, had no time to pay attention.
"I was lying in bed with all sorts of thoughts, wondering if there was something wrong with the child, or if something was wrong, or what. Anyway, I was thinking over all the unfortunate events I had heard about over the past 20 years."
"I thought maybe the child wasn't breathing, or was missing limbs, but I never thought my son was gone. Every time I think about it, I feel so heartbroken that I can't breathe..."
Seeing that she was about to get emotional again, Shu Jinyue quickly held her hand, thinking that it was really inhumane to let the mother recall these heartbreaking things over and over again. But the other detained mother, her four-month-old baby also needed her mother, and it would be better for both parties if the truth could be revealed sooner.
She placed three fingers on it and felt it carefully for a few minutes - it was just the usual pulse of weak qi and blood after childbirth, nothing special.
Of course, Chinese medicine is not so mysterious that it can tell how many children she has just given birth to. If she had felt it during pregnancy, perhaps it might have been possible to find out whether she was carrying a single baby or twins. But now that the babies are born, what else can she do?
"By the way, Qin Haiyang, has your hospital done a postpartum ultrasound examination on her?" She had an outrageous guess. Could there really be a child in her belly? Isn't that what is written in the old time-travel novels?
Qin Haiyang smiled bitterly, "The old lady in their family also had this guess, but we checked and found that there is really nothing in the uterus."
Shu Jinyue opened his mouth and asked, which link went wrong?
Who is lying?
The woman’s family wanted to extort money, and it had been planned for a long time?
Is there really someone stealing children in the city hospital? But who can accomplish that level of difficulty? And there is an even more terrifying follow-up guess. If there really are people stealing children here, it definitely is not just one or two people who can steal a crying child at any time without anyone noticing. It is likely to be a gang crime. What is even more chilling is, how long did this gang stay in the hospital? How many children have "disappeared" or been switched in this way over the years, and how many human tragedies have been caused?
In later generations, some hospitals, from top to bottom, knew clearly that the children were abducted, but they still helped to issue birth certificates and help the children settle down.
This profession isn’t all good people.
Qin Haiyang was actually still a little naive. He insisted on believing that his teachers and colleagues were innocent. He saw their diligence and hard work, but failed to see the darkness behind their profession... Of course, Shu Jinyue was not saying that the two doctors were the masterminds, she was just not so "naive". She only believed in the investigation of the public security organs and only looked at the evidence.
However, she did not have the right to talk to each of those people one by one. "I really can't tell anything from their pulse. I can only look at the investigation results of the public security organs."
Qin Haiyang nodded disappointedly, "I understand, but it's still a trouble for you to make the trip."
It’s not hard at all. Shu Jinyue is just a little worried. What if the truth that no one wants to believe is really discovered? Will he, a simple-minded person, be able to accept it?
Forget it, let’s wait until the investigation comes out.
Shu Jinyue didn't need him to send her home, and took the bus back by herself. When she got home, it was already dark. Her family had already eaten and were waiting for her.
"You're back. What do you say?" Zhao Wanqiu was the first to stand up excitedly.
Jin Yue shook his head. He didn't change his clothes after going to the hospital, so he didn't go to bed. "I don't know. Both sides have their own opinions. Anyway, through Qin Haiyang's retelling and simple contact with the mother, I feel as if neither side is lying."
"That's not necessarily true. What Qin Haiyang said only represents what he saw from his perspective. With so many doctors and nurses, can he guarantee that he understands every one of them?" Shu Wenming snorted coldly. He had seen the sinister nature of human nature better than these innocent and foolish college students.
Shu Jinyue thought about it and it made sense. In addition to Qin Haiyang, there were two doctors and three nurses, a total of five people. If any one of these five people had bad intentions, the matter would be difficult to explain.
Zhao Wanqiu asked what was going on, and when Jin Yue told her the story, the whole family found it outrageous, so outrageous that they couldn't understand it no matter how hard they tried.
"How can you just disappear from a child that big?"
"I don't believe it. It must have been stolen." Shu Wenming said firmly, "You are just too naive."
Zhao Wanqiu agreed. "I've been in the hospital for so many years, and I haven't seen anyone stealing children around me. But there was an incident at the Second Hospital. A nurse's cousin had been married for many years and had no children. She paid her to help find a child, but... But the family was also alert. The nurse said the child was stillborn, so the family demanded to see the body if it was alive or dead. She couldn't produce the child, so the parents felt suspicious. Later they found out that she had hidden the child in a box and was about to take it out."
"Is there such a thing?" Teacher Shu was shocked. "Don't these people have a guilty conscience? She steals the child that someone else has worked so hard to carry for ten months."
Shu Jinyue thought to himself that this was because the parents were alert and discovered it early, so the nurse was also panicked. If they encountered old hands who often did this, or if it was a gang, they would be well prepared and ordinary people would not be able to see the flaws at all. It is possible that many years later, they would meet a child who had been "dead" for many years on the road.
Of course, there are even more outrageous cases, such as exchanging a sick child for someone else's healthy child, or exchanging a baby girl for a baby boy... The parents only discovered this many years later, but it was too late, and so many human tragedies were born.
Back in the room, Shu Wenming suddenly discovered that Shu Jinyue had three new high-quality clothes. "Aren't you out of money?"
Jin Yue didn't intend to hide it from him. She found that her second brother was very sharp-tongued and his perspective on things was much more experienced than hers. She just wanted to ask him to help analyze the situation, so she told him about Xu Duan buying clothes for her and venting his anger. "Second brother, what do you think he meant?"
Shu Wenming stroked his chin, "Do you really not understand or are you pretending to be stupid?"
Shu Jinyue blushed, of course she was just pretending.
"See, you know it, too."
"But he didn't say anything, didn't show any sign, and either gave me this or that. I couldn't tell if he was really repaying the favor or if he had other intentions. I asked him on the way back today, but he didn't hear clearly."
It is said that the first effort is the best, the second is weak, and the third is the worst. She tried to test him several times but he didn't take the bait. How could she have the courage to ask him again?
"I'm a lesbian, don't I have to save face?"
Shu Wenming nodded, frowning as he seriously gave her advice. Although he and Wen Yun were siblings, he and Jin Yue had become much closer since Jin Yue came back from the countryside last year. They could talk about anything, and Jin Yue had indeed helped him a lot.
"Well, could it be that he is actually a scumbag who only enjoys the process and has no intention of taking responsibility, so he is avoiding your temptation?"
Shu Jinyue immediately slapped him on the shoulder, "He is not."
It’s hard to explain, but she has a feeling that Xu Duan is not that kind of person.
"Hey, you two are nothing now, but you're protecting me. What will happen in the future?" Shu Wenming bared his teeth. "Maybe you're just in love with me. I just feel sorry for you because you don't have a real father, so I'm taking care of you like a kitten or a puppy."
Shu Jinyue bit her lips. In fact, this was what she feared the most.
If Xu Duan's kindness to her was just due to his upbringing and didn't mean she was unique, she would be very disappointed...
"No, no, Shu Jinyue, you look like this, could it be that you are really in love with her?" Shu Wenming said as he moved closer and stared into her eyes.
Shu Jinyue didn't dare to look him in the eye, and said in a timid tone: "It's none of your business."
"Oh my, you really like me, but that's it, what if I just treat you as my niece?"
Shu Wenming laughed exaggeratedly twice. "Oh, I was kidding. If you want to test whether he has that kind of intention towards you, you can play hard to get and see if he is anxious or not, or you can make a feint to the east and attack in the west to annoy him."
"How's that for playing hard to get?" She knew it was a diversion, but it would be too unfair to take advantage of another innocent man, unless she paid for an actor.
"Just ignore him for a few days. Don't completely ignore him, but you can't be as close to him as before. That's the limit... Do you understand?"
Shu Jinyue looked confused. She knew what he meant, but as a single woman in her second life, she had only seen this trick on her mobile phone and had never tried it herself.
"How can you make the other person lose their appetite and have wild thoughts without being too aggressive and directly discouraging them? It's really hard to strike the right balance." Shu Wenming crossed his legs. "You are still young and have a lot to learn. Even if you succeed occasionally by chance, don't be proud. There are always better places."
Shu Jinyue opened his mouth wide. He had never realized that Shu Wenming, who was about to turn 30 and finally got married, actually understood all this! ! !
"Where did you learn that?" If Jin Yue didn't know him so well, he would have suspected that he had traveled through time or was reborn.
Shu Wenming coughed twice uncomfortably and said, "Don't worry about it. Just do it anyway."
Shu Jinyue was a little moved. She was also angry with Xu Duan these past two days, so she wanted to see if he had any feelings for her.
So, the next day at noon, after lunch she did not rush to Huaishu Hutong. She slept peacefully at home for a nap and almost was late for work.
Xu Duan waited for twenty minutes but didn't see anyone. Thinking that Grandma Hu was busy, he left the milk at Grandma Hu's house and went back to work.
At noon on the third day, Jin Yue still didn't go, but the milk that was left yesterday was taken away, and he became more determined in his idea.
At noon on the fourth day, Jin Yue finally showed up, but she was no longer cheerful as usual, and her face was expressionless, "Thank you, Uncle Xu."
Xu Duan frowned, a little helpless, "Why are you calling me uncle again?"
Shu Jinyue looked innocent and serious: "You call my father Brother Limin, so I should call you uncle."
Obviously, she was saying this, and there was nothing wrong with it, but Xu Duan just felt a little tight in his chest, "Are you busy recently?"
"Yeah, busy."
"What are you busy with?" He was pushing the bicycle, not looking ahead, just looking at her fair profile.
Usually at this time of year, she would come running, like a happy little duck with its wings flashing. Her nose and forehead would sweat, leaving soft fluff on them, which made her look quite cute. But today her face was clean and she walked over slowly.
"That's all. Even if my salary increases, I will still study more and try my best to be worthy of this labor income."
Xu Duan nodded and was about to ask her about her work and whether she had any difficulties, but she suddenly said that she had something else to do and had to leave quickly and they could talk another day.
Xu Duan could only look at her back.
The girl has grown taller. She looked like a middle school student last year, but now she looks like a young girl.
Of course, girls have their own world, which is not something an old man like him can understand. Shu Jinyue thought viciously that if she gave him another chance and he didn't like her, she would leave immediately. She just wanted to fall in love anyway, so if this one didn't work out, the next one would be better.
She has nothing to lose, and she won't let herself get consumed by these little things.
Shu Jinyue clenched his fists and felt more motivated to work in the afternoon!
She wanted to take advantage of the time after dinner to ask her second brother for advice. She had been playing hard to get for three days, but he remained calm. What should she do next? Should she continue playing hard to get or reveal some shocking information?
As a result, Shu Wenming did not go home directly. He just asked his colleagues to come home and tell him that Xu Wenli had taken too much ginseng and had a nosebleed, so he wanted to send her home.
My second brother has indeed become much more stable since he started dating. He used to be like a wild man who would never tell his family whether he would go home or not. Now he is becoming more and more responsible and like a person who can live his life.
Shu Jinyue pondered for a while and decided to keep the status quo until he got the formal advice from his second brother. He went to get milk again at noon the next day without saying a few words...
***
On Saturday morning, Jiang Weijun leisurely walked into the office of Chief Xu of the Materials Bureau.
"Did Old Xu hear about it?"
"What?" Xu Duan looked at the watch on his wrist. There were still five minutes before get off work ended.
"In the case of the city hospital, someone reported to the police that his son was stolen. It's been so many days and they still haven't figured out the cause. I heard that they have investigated the ancestors of those doctors and nurses for generations."
Xu Duan nodded. The incident was so serious that it was hard for him not to hear about it. "Really? Aside from their relatives, have you checked their social connections? Have they deposited money in the bank in the past year? Have they found any large sums of cash or valuables in their home? As long as they have done it, there will always be traces."
"Well, we don't need to tell you this. Director Qin is not a fool. His son is also involved in this. He is eager to get to the bottom of it. I heard that the boy is going to be sent abroad on a public mission... Wait, I was wondering!"
Xu Duan put on his coat, stood up, and looked like he was getting ready to get off work. "So what?"
"I was wondering why your little niece looked so familiar. It turns out she's the one we met in the restaurant before, the girlfriend of Old Tan's son!"
Xu Duan frowned, "They are not."
"What's not, it's your little niece Su Jinyue. I said my memory wasn't that bad, and I was right. They are a perfect match. But if they get together, wouldn't you be on the same level as Old Tan? Hahaha, that means I don't have to call Old Tan uncle anymore, I can just call him brother instead!"
“They are not object relationships.”
"Look at you, you're protecting your own child. I won't tell anyone, so it won't ruin your niece's reputation."
Xu Duan was irritated for no reason and said, "Let's go."
"Hey, wait for me. Let's eat together. After eating, we can go to the Municipal Hospital for a stroll. I really want to see Old Tan's stinky face."
Xu Duan was pestered by him and went to the cafeteria to eat together. After eating, he accompanied him to the hospital to watch the excitement. Of course, he also wanted to see what was going on. If there really was a traitor in this case as he thought, then the impact would be huge. Anyone who had given birth in the city hospital in recent years would have trouble sleeping, right?
For such a large hospital, the number of inpatients in the obstetrics and gynecology department is quite large every year. If we go back a few years, the impact would have been so huge that it is hard to imagine.
Not to mention that there are some families that already have conflicts, and their children happened to be born in this hospital... That's because they think the gap between the couple is not deep enough.
Xu Duan looked at the watch again. It was already twelve forty-five. He wondered if Su Jinyue would go to get the milk today. She had been too busy in recent days. He should care about whether she had encountered any difficulties, but she didn't seem to want to talk to him much. She was not as willing to share her thoughts with him as before... He always felt that something was different.
"Why do you keep looking at the watch? Is there something wrong?"
"Well, let's go quickly and come back quickly." He still had to rush home to get and deliver the milk.
He really wanted to know if she had been in trouble recently. For example, last time when she bought a sweater, she was obviously very aggrieved, but she had to put on a smile and refused to admit that she was sad... Today, he wanted to continue talking to her about the proposition that "it's not a bad thing to admit that you have bad emotions."
Jiang Weijun looked at the childhood friend in front of him who claimed to be his life mentor. He always felt that something was strange. Just like his older brother who had become a father, he was always worried. He worried that his daughter didn't sleep well, that his daughter didn't have milk to drink, and that his daughter would be kidnapped by some bad boy as soon as she started kindergarten.
In his opinion, he had really gone astray.
"Oh, by the way, last time you asked me about the milk delivery from the milk company, they said that I could change the address and continue to deliver milk, and that they could deliver milk all over the city. Why did you stop sending news later? Did you change it yourself?"
Xu Duan shook the handlebars and said, "It's okay. I'm just asking casually."
Jiang Weijun was a bit careless, so he didn't ask any further questions and continued talking about recent events, nothing more than who was becoming more and more outrageous, who was being bullied again, and who had resumed work. When they arrived at the entrance of the municipal hospital, it was the hottest time of the day at noon.
Both of them had trained in the army for many years. They rode such a long distance without blushing or getting nervous. Jiang Weijun even felt a little unsatisfied. "It would be great if our bicycles could be better. Then we can ride on mountain roads. How about a competition?"
Xu Duan didn't answer him, his eyes were fixed.
At the entrance of the hospital lobby, there was a girl whose back looked very familiar. He was just wondering why she was here at this time, when he saw a boy approaching her, smiling at her, and loosely placing his left hand behind her back, protecting her as she walked through the crowded crowd. The two heads were getting closer and closer. Were they chatting so congenially?
It turns out that the girl who is so busy every day that she is nowhere to be seen, who doesn't even bother to get milk and who ignores everyone when she meets them, still has time to look for the college students.
Xu Duan didn’t know how to describe his mood at the moment, he just felt... annoyed.
"Hey, Old Xu, why are you so cold? It's like someone owes you money. I didn't offend you."
Xu Duan stared at the two figures disappearing around the corner of the stairs and snorted coldly, "Go up and take a look."
He wanted to see what Su Jinyue was doing here and where the kid from the Qin family took her. It would be best if he didn't catch him doing anything, otherwise he would destroy him.
Of course, it was not surprising that he had such a dark speculation, because he was also the age of that boy and seemed to have endless energy, especially a pretty girl like her who was not good at rejecting people and never lost her temper. She was like a little lily with dew on it, which could easily make people want to destroy her and make her easily bullied.
"Hey, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!"
The two of them hurried forward, but unfortunately there were too many people in the hall, most of them patients. They couldn't rush around recklessly and had to try their best to avoid bumping into others. They had to slow down. By the time they reached the second floor, there was no one there.
Standing at the stairs on the second floor, Xu Duan's eyes quickly searched the crowd, but neither she nor that boy was there.
On the other side, Shu Jinyue followed Qin Haiyang up to the third floor and went straight to the fifth floor, where there were some special care wards reserved for special needs. "Song Yingying has been transferred upstairs."
"How is she doing?"
"My physical recovery is okay, but my mental state is not very good, so I asked you to come and help me with my thoughts. I felt that you two got along well last time."
Shu Jinyue smiled bitterly. She was being pushed into a fight again. After investigating for so long, she still couldn't find anything. The medical staff had clean backgrounds, and their relatives and social connections were all normal. Even the whole city had begun to pay attention to whether there were any male babies who died inexplicably in the past few days...
Song Yingying's family will not give in until the investigation yields any results, and the five medical staff will not be able to go home for the day.
"That Doctor Li is the female doctor who helped my teacher deliver the baby. I heard that her child is sick and doesn't want to drink milk powder. The family wants her to go back to see the baby, or they can send the baby here to feed him. But the old lady at Song Yingying's house won't give in. I want you to help persuade her."
The old woman insisted that the meeting was a collusion in testimony, saying that was what her brother had said in a meeting, and she took it as an imperial decree.
Shu Jinyue was really troubled. The Song family was obviously too powerful. The weak and cowardly hospital could not cope with it. They did not even show basic humanitarian concern to their own staff.
What a coward.
When they arrived at the fifth floor, Song Yingying's mother-in-law was not there. She was feeding her baby alone in the ward. Jin Yue knocked on the door and went in only after hearing her consent.
"Doctor Xiao Shu?" Song Yingying still remembered her and shifted her gentle gaze from the child's face to her.
Shu Jinyue greeted her and planned to start the topic of children: "Your daughter is so beautiful, her eyes are so big, she looks a lot like you."
"Yes, she is very well behaved. I don't know how to do anything myself. When my mother-in-law is too busy, I take care of her. I am very busy and sometimes I hurt her, but she doesn't cry at all."
Song Yingying smiled a loving mother's smile. "Actually, I've come to terms with it these past few days. If we really can't find out the truth, then forget it. We shouldn't make a big fuss anymore. We should focus on our daughter."
Although she was very sad about losing her son, she had to control herself to ensure her milk supply and feed her surviving daughter, so her emotions went away faster than others.
"My parents-in-law and my wife cry every day when they think of their son. They have barely even held my daughter. Now, she's been born for almost a week, and they haven't even noticed the birthmark on her body."
"Does the child have a birthmark?" Jin Yue suddenly frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Yes, there is a big spot on her chest. I was too busy that day, and my family members haven't paid much attention to it these days. I only discovered it when I was giving her a bath last night."
Something flashed through Shu Jinyue's mind. She remembered what Qin Haiyang said just now. Someone from their hospital went to Dongcheng District Hospital and found the doctor who performed the ultrasound on Song Yingying to learn about the situation. The doctor still remembered it, because twins are almost never seen, so he was deeply impressed.
He remembered that he did see two gestational sacs, but they were smaller and the pregnancy was early. He even found the recorded information, and the name, age, examination date, and results were exactly the same as those in the Song family's hands.
This means that Song Yingying was indeed pregnant with twins, at least it was twins when she was examined... Shu Jinyue was suddenly shocked.
She quickly caught the thought that flashed through her mind. Could it be that there are only three-digit special cases in the world, and she actually encountered one?
"Can I take a look at the child's birthmark? We in traditional Chinese medicine have some methods that can fade certain birthmarks if you need them."
Song Yingying was delighted. It was indeed unsightly for a girl to have a birthmark on her chest. It would be great if it could be faded! So he quickly unwrapped the swaddling clothes, took the child out and put him on the bed, then unbuttoned his clothes, "Look, there's such a big spot on the chest."
The child's skin is slightly yellow, but this is very common in newborns. The strange thing is that the "birthmark" on her chest is very white, whiter than the skin around it, so white that...if someone who doesn't understand, they would think it is a disease like vitiligo.
"I thought it was a skin disease last night, so I asked the doctor, and they said it was a birthmark that had been there since birth."
"Are there any other places?"
"Yes, here in my lower abdomen, look."
Shu Jinyue took a look and found a large white spot in the center half an inch below the belly button. Jinyue washed his hands and touched it. It was smooth and flat, with no scaling and no seepage.
"Qin Haiyang, can you go get your hospital leaders and the patient's family members?"
Qin Haiyang had been outside the door. When he heard her voice, he asked quickly, "What's wrong?"
"I think I know where the other fetus is."
