Upon hearing this, Director Hua's face instantly flashed with anger, and he shouted:
"Nonsense!"
"Don't spout nonsense! We are upright doctors who save lives, how could we possibly do such a heinous thing!"
Director Hua's outrageous and extreme reaction caught Zhou Renxuan's eye.
He keenly noticed the unusualness in the situation and pondered to himself:
'Could it be that I guessed right?'
He was startled by the thought and his heart skipped a beat.
He knew about some of the dirty tricks that Director Hua had done, but he never dared to imagine that this seemingly respectable guy would have such audacity.
"What benefits did you receive? How dare you do such a thing!"
"Could this baby be hiding some earth-shattering secret that would make you abandon your professional ethics and conscience to take such a risk?"
Zhou Renxuan pressed closer, his eyes fixed on Director Hua.
As Zhou Renxuan's guesses drew closer and closer to the truth, Director Hua's heart began to pound uncontrollably, and he immediately interrupted:
"That's enough!"
"Alright, stop asking. As long as you shut up and pretend you know nothing, I can double your treatment." Director Hua knew this deal was quite a bargain for Zhou Renxuan, who didn't have much money.
"Double?"
Zhou Renxuan felt a little disdainful. Based on his intuition, he vaguely sensed that the value of this baby could not be measured by simply doubling, and the secret hidden behind it must be astonishing.
This matter is probably far more complex than it appears on the surface, and its scope may be beyond imagination.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Zhou Renxuan concealed his inner thoughts, quickly replacing them with an expression of ecstatic joy, and nodded without hesitation:
"Double the benefits, that's great! Let's do it on a deal, Director Hua."
“Alright, it’s a deal,” Director Hua quickly agreed.
All she wanted was to stabilize Zhou Renxuan, this uncertain factor, as quickly as possible, and buy herself some more time.
Even if it's just a brief delay, by the time Zhou Renxuan realizes the truth, it will already be too late, and the dust will have settled.
By then, their entire department had long since completed General Zhou's mission and gone to Jincheng to enjoy their retirement.
Meanwhile, Nurse Zhang had already found Li Yu and the others.
She first stood still, took a deep breath, and then deliberately exaggerated her breathing, as if she had just gone through a vigorous run.
Immediately afterwards, she pretended to be in a great hurry and quickly ran towards the direction where Li Yu and the others were, anxiously calling out:
"Emergency! Emergency!"
The sudden shout made Li Yu and the others quickly look up.
Nurse Zhang's face was flushed red, and her extremely anxious expression left no doubt about the seriousness of the situation.
"Are you Song Qian's family member?" Nurse Zhang asked breathlessly.
“Yes,” Ma Yuanbai replied immediately.
He had no idea that the nurse, who had already interacted with them for two days, would recognize them and was even deliberately asking if they were Song Qian's family members.
Nurse Zhang then spoke very quickly:
"Something terrible has happened! We just discovered that the baby's lungs and heart have suddenly developed serious problems, and there is an imminent risk of suffocation. Immediate surgery is necessary to save the baby!"
"Because there's no time to lose, the baby has already been taken to the operating room for emergency treatment!"
"What?"
Li Yu and the others were stunned, shocked by this sudden bad news.
"The situation is extremely critical, please get the family members to sign the consent form immediately!" Nurse Zhang urged again.
Upon hearing that the child was in danger, Ma Yuanbai stepped forward without hesitation and quickly signed his name.
After seeing Ma Yuanbai sign, Nurse Zhang suppressed her joy and said with a straight face:
"Okay, let's begin the surgery now!"
As she finished speaking and was about to turn and leave, she suddenly seemed to remember something important, paused, turned back, and added with a serious expression:
"Oh, right, there's one more thing."
"The risks of this surgery are exceptionally high; in fact, they are extremely dangerous."
"In addition, the cost of the surgery and subsequent medication is also quite expensive. So you must pay the fees as soon as possible, otherwise it will seriously affect the progress of the entire surgery."
"We have to pay more?" Ma Yuanbai frowned.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to have the surgery, but he was starting to have doubts; the cost was indeed a bit too high.
Keep in mind that in just one day, he had already handed over all the money he had exchanged for a gold bar.
They spend money like water, yet they haven't even seen a baby yet.
"What? You're not going to save the child?" Nurse Zhang raised an eyebrow and asked deliberately.
"Help! I'll go pay right now," Ma Yuanbai replied immediately, then ran towards the payment window.
Seeing Ma Yuanbai go to pay, Nurse Zhang nodded in satisfaction and turned to Li Yu, saying:
"Don't worry, family members, we will do our best."
"In order to perform this surgery on the baby, we have made an exception and invited Dr. Wang, who has awakened superpowers, to perform the surgery himself. You can just wait here for news."
After saying that, Nurse Zhang left.
At the end of the corridor, in a corner, Zhou Renxuan was quietly hiding in the shadows.
He closely observed Xiao Zhang's every move from a distance, and felt more and more that this matter was not simple.
He was completely unaware of such a major surgery, despite being a doctor in the department.
He wanted to know what secrets were hidden here.
......
It was inside the cathedral, not far from the hospital.
A young man with a full head of silver hair was standing in the middle of the hall, with a huge star array he had just drawn at his feet.
The young man wore a silver earring on his left ear, with an intricately designed pattern of surging waves. This man was none other than Bai Ya, the twelfth seat of the Deep Sea Watchers.
Bai Ya had his eyes closed, feeling the energy of his superpower surging within his body.
A light footstep sounded, and a subordinate hurriedly approached, bowing and reporting:
"Boss, the squad from the Central Plains defense line just brought the body over."
Before the words were finished, Bai Ya, whose eyes had been tightly closed, slowly opened them. His eyes were as white and flawless as ice and snow, and his gaze was calm but also revealed a chilling coldness.
"Let them bring it in."
"yes."
After receiving permission, the man ordered his men to carry the body into the hall.
Not long after, a series of heavy footsteps could be heard approaching from afar.
Immediately afterwards, several members of the Central Plains Defense Line squad carefully carried a crystal coffin and slowly walked in from outside.
Upon seeing this extremely rare crystal coffin, Bai Ya's lips curled into a smile:
"It seems Zhou Zhenbei really values his son; he can even find such a treasure."
"But this is good, it further demonstrates the value of this operation."
