Chapter 914 - Blowing up the matter

“Are you messing with me? The emergency room is an important place. No one is allowed to enter aside from medical staff.” The attending doctor frowned, looking at Su Tao. He was a little worried. These days, all doctors were afraid of getting involved in a doctor-patient conflict. Not long ago, there was news about a woman who died while giving birth. The husband was against the surgery and the doctor had to call the cops to save the wife.

What he did was just giving a notice. He was worried that the patient’s family would do something to him if they lost control. So he instinctively took a few steps back.

Su Tao sighed. He knew that the matter was urgent. Taking a business card from his pocket, he handed it to the attending doctor, “I’m Su Tao, a National Healer from the Central Healthcare Bureau. Just like you, I’m also a doctor.”

He Duo, who was standing beside him, was shocked. She had heard about Su Tao’s name, which often appeared in entertainment news. He Duo didn’t connect Su Tao to the person in the news earlier. But now that he thought about it, it was the same person from the news!

The attending doctor looked at it briefly before he doubted, “So what if you’re a National Healer. Furthermore, even if you’re a National Healer, you still can’t barge into the emergency room.”

Su Tao sighed inwardly. He knew that it would be futile for him to talk to the attending doctor. It would only delay the doctor from saving the patient. He immediately gave a call to Yue Zun. When Yue Zun heard about it from Su Tao, he replied, “The situation is that serious? I have a friend in Shanzhou Province’s healthcare department. I’ll get in touch with him for you.”

Although Su Tao didn’t seem to be lying, the attending doctor wasn’t too worried. After all, he was abiding by the hospital system. If he really allowed Su Tao in, then he would be held responsible.

Fifteen minutes later, Yue Zun called back, “I have already given my friend a call. There will be results soon. Stay calm for now and don’t get yourself involved in any conflicts.”

Su Tao smiled, “Do I look like the kind of person who makes trouble all the time?”

“Do you think that I’ll remind you if you’re not?” Yue Zun smiled. “It’s natural for young men to have a fiery temper. Let me know if anything happens. I still have some trustable friends in Shanzhou Province. We don’t want to cause any trouble, but we’re not afraid of trouble.”

Yue Zun tactfully told Su Tao that he had connections to the government and underworld in Shanzhou Province.

In fact, if Su Tao needed to use someone’s connection, he didn’t really have to rely on Yue Zun.

Not long ago, under Qin Jingyu’s bewitching, Mao San, a local figure from Shanzhou Province, wanted to use Hua Yan against Yan Jing. But after he was brought to justice, Yan Jing took over Mao San’s business. So it could be resolved if Su Tao informed Yan Jing about it.

Now that he wanted to resolve the three hospitals, he would have to use those forces.

Su Tao grew increasingly impatient as time passed. He trusted Yue Zun, but he was worried that something might happen to the patient inside.

The backup still wasn’t here. Lei Zheng returned with four youths, stomping their way over. The four youths were all muscular as they held onto a steep pipe. Pointing his finger at the restaurant’s boss, Lei Zheng roared, “It’s him! Teach him a lesson!”

The attending doctor’s face had turned pale from fright. He never expected that the situation would develop in this matter outside the emergency room. He quickly told the nurse behind him, “Quick, call the security!” However, he knew that calling the security would be futile. In the end, he added, “Call the cops too!”

“You guys have five minutes to get it done.” Lei Zheng knew that he couldn’t take up much time in this matter.

The restaurant owner was also a man, who sneered and charged at the four young men. Although he was strong, there was no way he could fight all four of them with a pair of hands. It didn’t take long for him to be injured.

Su Tao knew that the restaurant boss might be crippled if this carried on. He immediately took a step forth and shielded the boss. He lashed out a kick on one of the man’s wrist, causing the metal pipe to fall onto the ground. Meanwhile, he threw his punches and struck the abdomen of the other two, putting them on the ground.

It only took a split second and Lei Zheng’s eyes were wide open with disbelief.

The restaurant boss rubbed his injured wrist and smiled, “If I knew that you’re so skilled, I wouldn’t have gone up.”

“I never expected that they’re so ruthless too.” Su Tao smiled with guilt in his heart.

Lei Zheng’s lips trembled as he looked at Su Tao, “Don’t get too proud of it yet! Just you wait!”

But just when he wanted to leave with his friends, the elevator door suddenly opened. A group of people came out. When Lei Zheng saw the group of people, he exclaimed out, “Dad?”

“You only know how to cause trouble. See how I’ll deal with you later!” Lei Dong snorted.

He didn’t carry on any further because he was just the Vice-President. He might have some authority, but he knew how to keep his head lowered before the President.

Lei Dong found out what happened on the way over. He never expected that a patient who was in critical condition would be related to his son. Furthermore, this incident even alarmed the health department from the province.

Although the staff in this hospital belonged to the Nonferrous Metals Group, it must also be supervised by the health department. Lei Dong wanted to be promoted. Even if he couldn’t become a President in this hospital, he could still go to another hospital.

After all, he would have more power as a President.

However, his son caused such a huge incident in this period. So it made sense for Lei Dong to be furious.

When Lei Dong saw so many hospital leaders here, he was also shocked. Did this matter blow up?

He immediately brought his buddies to the high-end ward. He had to let Ma Xiangming know about this matter immediately.

The President immediately came to Su Tao and smiled, “Are you Mr. Su?”

“I am. I need your consent right now. There’s a patient in critical condition in the emergency room. I’d like to treat him personally.” Su Tao didn’t beat around the bush.

“I don’t think this is proper, right?” Lei Dong spoke out. “You might be a National Healer, but the emergency room wasn’t a place anyone could enter. Moreover, who’ll be responsible if the treatment fails?”

The attending doctor started to sweat. In his opinion, the patient had already been declared dead. The possibility of the patient being saved was low. He was just using medical equipment to hold onto the patient’s life right now. But the moment he receives the patient’s consent, he would cut the oxygen supply.

But the attending doctor knew what Lei Dong was trying to do. Lei Dong wanted to push the blame over to Su Tao so it would have nothing to do with them.

Then again, Lei Dong wasn’t doing this for the attending doctor but his son and Ma Xiangming.

The patient was injured by his son, and he now had a good opportunity to push the blame. If the patient died under Su Tao’s treatment, then he would just push the blame to Su Tao.

Su Tao naturally knew what Lei Dong was trying to do and frowned, “Firstly, the patient is under your hospital’s treatment for the past three days. If you guys aren’t able to treat him but I managed to, it will show that your hospital is being neglectant about it. Secondly, if I can’t treat the patient, I might not be capable enough, but the culprit must be held responsible, not to mention that the hospital is trying to delay time, so you guys are the second party responsible if anything happens. As for me, I’m just the third party. I don’t want to waste anymore time with you right now and allow me in. If you continue to obstruct me, then I’ll consider you to be an indirect murderer.”

Su Tao’s words were sharp. His words made Lei Dong’s face alternate between red and white. In the end, Gong Manjiang waved his hand, “It’s an emergency right now. Take Mr. Su in.”

Gong Manjiang was told by his leaders that Su Tao was no ordinary person. Su Tao was in charge of Vice-Premier Xiao’s healthcare services. So he wanted to maintain his distance with Su Tao. He had also seen what Lei Dong did.

Lei Dong was a very scheming person. He also had a good relationship with the corporate’s executives, and there was nothing Gong Manjiang could do to him.

Su Tao followed the attending doctor into the room and disinfected his whole body.

He also instructed the attending doctor to prepare a few tools that were commonly used in TCM, such as acupuncture needles and cups.

Su Tao first used the fire cupping method to clear the severe hemorrhage in the patient. Although he didn’t see how the fight took place, he guessed that the patient must be injured in the head during the fight.

Meanwhile, Lei Zheng returned to the high-end wards and told Ma Xiangming about this matter.

Ma Xiangming frowned, “Where did this National Healer come from?”

“Yeah. It smells of bullshit. All the hospital’s executives are there right now.” Lei Zheng sighed. “This is going to be a big deal now.”

“What are you afraid of?” Ma Xiangming glared at Lei Zheng. “It’s just assault. If the person doesn’t die, then I’ll just have to give him some compensation. Even if he dies, it will have nothing to do with us. After all, we didn’t get involved in beating him up.”

“But we’re the mastermind. Although our lives won’t be involved, I don’t think we’ll be able to escape from jail sentences.” Lei Zheng smiled bitterly.

Ma Xiangming also started to become worried from Lei Zheng’s words. He waved his hand, “Things aren’t that complicated. Even if Wu Jun dies, I’ll just give his next of kin some compensation. I don’t believe that they will pester us for it.”

“I hope that he doesn’t die.” Lei Zheng sighed.

Ma Xiangming was also stunned for a long time before he took out a cigarette and started smoking. He never expected that this incident would blow up.

Then again, he wasn’t too worried about it. Wu Jun’s life was cheap, and with his family background, it would be easy to resolve this matter.
