The dressing change was quick, as this doctor was responsible for this area and changing dressings for the injured was a routine task. It only took ten minutes to re-bandage the wound.
"Try not to move around too much; your injury is quite serious," the doctor instructed. "It would be best to find a nurse..."
The doctor initially thought it best to hire a caregiver for daily care to prevent accidents like bumping into things while using the restroom. However, upon further reflection, the injured person hadn't even been found to have family members; who would pay for a caregiver? The hospital was already providing free treatment, which was already a government expense; no one would cover the cost of a caregiver.
With that thought in mind, the doctor stopped talking.
Feeling awkward, the doctor and nurses didn't stay in the ward long and left in a hurry after finishing their work.
Of course, the doctor also needs to report the situation to the head doctor. It's also best to quickly ascertain the patient's identity and find their family as soon as possible; otherwise, with such a serious injury requiring a hundred days to heal, there will be many more problems later on.
Therefore, the doctor decided to exaggerate Li Lechen's injury from three points to five points, so as to attract more attention from the higher-ups.
The doctor ran over to report to the head doctor, while Li Lechen began to slowly remove the freshly applied cast.
Li Lechen wouldn't have known how to do it normally; if he had, he wouldn't have needed to pretend to bump into something and have the doctor change his dressing. But since he had just watched how to bandage it, unwrapping it was naturally easy for him.
In a two- or three-person ward, where patients interact more, Li Lechen's sudden act of removing his cast would certainly attract their attention. But now, in a six-person ward, aside from Li Lechen's deliberate shouting that drew attention, everyone usually keeps their curtains drawn and goes unnoticed unless there's a commotion.
At this moment, all Li Lechen needed to do was quietly remove the cast.
So, after half an hour of sweating profusely, the cast on Li Lechen's leg was completely removed. The wound-healing medication also worked wonders; the purplish-red "carrot leg" had disappeared, leaving only a centipede-like stitched wound.
Of course, according to the instructions for use of the medication, it will take about another day for the internal wounds to heal completely.
To speed up the healing process, Li Lechen used another tube of wound-healing medicine. In this way, in at most half an hour, it should be impossible to tell from the outside that he had been injured, and he should be able to get out of bed and walk normally without much trouble.
Time is of the essence now, because Li Lechen knows very well that F001 has been missing for almost two days. If it were just an ordinary patient who had gone missing, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the disappearance of an SW18 virus infected person is definitely not a trivial matter. However, given his current situation, he has no way of knowing how chaotic things are outside.
Indeed, the isolation treatment area of Yunhe First People's Hospital is in a state of chaos. Not only is the isolation treatment area in disarray, but the entire Yunhe First People's Hospital is in chaos.
monitor.
Every surveillance video was retrieved.
A living, breathing person suddenly disappears from a closed isolation treatment room. No one would suspect that he vanished into thin air, after all, this is still a normal world. Therefore, he must have sneaked out while the nurses weren't looking.
The hospital is full of surveillance cameras, and the hospital administration doesn't believe it anymore. They've checked all the cameras, so how could they not find the person?
So for the past two days, they have been following what they believe to be the right path, reviewing every moment of every surveillance video.
The hospital believes that as long as the person remains in their hospital, they can control the situation. If the person actually leaves, then things will be truly serious. After all, this isn't an ordinary person; he's infected with the SW18 virus.
Of course, they didn't give up on the other line either. Since Li Lechen's mother wasn't his biological mother and had blocked his number, they would call someone else.
When patient F001 was admitted to the hospital, Li Lechen's identity information was used entirely, so the contact information of Li Lechen's relatives and friends was quickly obtained.
Aside from Li Lechen's mother, who thought it was a scam call, everyone else connected to Li Lechen received a call from Yunhe First People's Hospital, inquiring about Li Lechen's whereabouts.
Unfortunately, no one knows where Li Lechen went. All they know is that Li Lechen isn't with them.
With such a commotion, it's impossible that Li Lechen's mother didn't hear a thing.
Her phone kept ringing, and her text messages kept coming in.
"Why did a hospital call me today asking if I knew where Li Lechen was, and what happened to him?"
"Is Le Chen alright? Why is the hospital calling me?"
"Is the lump in your brain causing problems again? Have you been hospitalized? Which hospital are you in?"
"It sounds like a serious matter, given how prevalent the SW18 virus is right now."
If it were just one or two calls, it wouldn't be so bad, but when five or ten relatives called, and even the neighborhood committee director called to inquire, Li Lechen's mother had to seriously reconsider.
If this is truly a scam, they're incredibly audacious; they're practically ready to call the police station and reveal their identity.
Just then, the company receptionist led in two policemen who came directly to find Zhou Lifen.
If a phone call could be a scam, then Li Lechen's mother couldn't possibly disbelieve the words of the two police officers in front of her, dressed in uniforms and showing their identification.
Her son, Li Lechen, has gone missing.
The disappearance is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Li Lechen had already been confirmed to be infected with the SW18 virus before he disappeared.
The more Li Lechen's mother listened, the more she felt that this was exactly the same as what the scammer had told her on the phone before, but back then, due to the problem of time logic, she had completely rejected it.
At this point, Li Lechen's mother truly regretted it. She hadn't even called her son to confirm the matter because she didn't believe it at all.
But now, it's obvious that when you call, the phone rings, but no one answers. That's because the phone was left in the isolation treatment room.
Li Lechen left quietly, without taking a single cloud with him.
This time, Li Lechen's mother is really going crazy.
Even the police were called in. Her son is missing. How could a mother not go crazy?
"Think carefully, has anything unusual happened in the past two days?" The police officer used a routine approach to subtly persuade Li Lechen's mother.
At this moment, Li Lechen's mother's mind was filled with the fact that her son had been infected with the SW18 virus and had been missing for two days. She couldn't recall anything else and could only shake her head blankly.
"Did you receive any phone calls?"
I've received so many phone calls, but I've blocked all the scammers' numbers...
The number has been blocked!
That's right!
Li Lechen's mother immediately recalled that she had received more than one phone call about her son. At the time, she thought it was a series of scams. One minute he said he was injured in the Xinhai Bridge accident, and the next he said he was infected with the SW18 virus. Moreover, the timing didn't match up at all, making it seem like she had two sons.
