Chapter 180: Like Falling into an Ice Cave
After hanging up, Jiang Wenfeng dragged the dried corpse into the secret room.
The electric grinder roared, and the stone mill ground the shattered bones into powder. He poured the pale powder into the blue and white pill furnace and sat cross-legged to form seals.
The cloud patterns on the furnace body glowed with golden light, indicating the Mysterious Gate alchemy secretly passed down by the Lin family.
Since the path to heaven and man was severed, this forbidden technique of refining pills with people had been sealed, but it was still circulating in the dark.
When dawn broke, the pill furnace erupted with purple-gold brilliance, and thirteen golden pills shone brightly.
Jiang Wenfeng greedily sniffed the pill fragrance: "Top quality is done!" He meticulously cleaned the scene, not even leaving half a hair behind.
At the same time, Zhang Yuru hurried to the hospital. Mother Li Xueying could already walk on the ground, but younger brother Zhang Bin had gone completely crazy. When the phone rang, she happened to run into Jiang Wenfeng walking out of the elevator.
"Zhang Yuru, going out?" Jiang Wenfeng greeted with a smile, dressed in a suit and shoes, spotless.
Zhang Yuru blurted out: "Going to the hospital to take care of my mom." She regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth; Jiang Wenfeng's gaze made her feel like she was on pins and needles.
"Auntie is sick? I'll take you!" Jiang Wenfeng had already pressed the elevator button. The traffic in the city center during the morning rush hour was like a weave, and Zhang Yuru looked at the long line of cars and said thank you softly.
At this time, in the neurosurgery ward of Huacheng Municipal Hospital, the hem of Xuanyuan Qing's white coat was lifted by the morning breeze.
After the Xie Wendong incident, she was the only old staff member left in the department, and at this moment she was mixed in the ward round team.
The new intern held the medical record and stammered: "Bed 13, Li Xueying, severe stroke complicated by cerebral hernia..."
"Can a cerebral hernia patient sit up by themselves?" Director Peng Cheng's sneer echoed in the corridor.
The intern hurriedly flipped through the paper pages, and Xuanyuan Qing spoke at the right time: "The patient was already awake after surgery when transferred."
Director Peng acted as if he hadn't heard, his gaze sweeping over the work badge on her chest: "How many days has she been hospitalized?"
"Eight days." The intern was trembling, "She could move independently when transferred from Saint Knight Hospital."
Peng Cheng suddenly leaned close to the hospital bed: "Old lady, lift a hand?" Li Xueying swept a cold glance over his name tag: "Want me to slap you?"
At the morning meeting, Peng Cheng threw the CT film in front of the projector: "Some people rely on having followed the previous director, so they dare to question the treatment plan?"
His gaze swept across Xuanyuan Qing like a scalpel, "What is President Luo? From today on, change Bed 13 to imported thrombolytic agents, full re-examination."
"But the patient's finances..."
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Peng Cheng grabbed his thermos cup and put it down heavily, "If I were you, I would keep my tail between my legs!"
Amidst the sound of the glass cup trembling on the desktop, Xuanyuan Qing gripped the medical order in her pocket tightly; those re-examination items were enough to empty the entire savings of an ordinary family.
Xuanyuan Qing gripped the hem of her clothes to force back the sourness in her eyes, the smell of disinfectant making her throat tighten.
The newly appointed Director Peng threw the medical record book on the table, his metal chest badge reflecting cold light, "Are you done crying?"
When footsteps approached from far to near in the corridor, Peng Cheng narrowed his eyes to appreciate the girl's helplessness. He deliberately pushed his coffee cup to her side, watching the hot liquid splash onto her white coat; this carefully designed trap was waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net.
"Is Xuanyuan Qing here?" The young man who pushed the door and entered made a flash of brilliance pass through Peng Cheng's eyes. He suddenly grabbed a stethoscope and smashed it heavily on the office desk: "Meeting idlers during working hours? If you don't want to work, get out early!"
Xuanyuan Qing was trembling all over, the bright red hospital official seal on the internship contract shaking before her eyes. She hurriedly took a half-step back: "Director, I really don't know..."
"I am her guardian." Lin Yu walked straight to the girl whose tear stains had not yet dried, his fingertips brushing over the red burn on her wrist, "Does your hospital allow superiors to physically punish interns?"
When Peng Cheng stood up and slapped the table, he knocked over the entire box of cotton swabs, and the snow-white cotton balls rolled to the side of Lin Yu's shiny leather shoes.
"Security, take this troublemaker..."
"My surname is Lin." The young man suddenly took out his phone, the screen showing the landline number of the dean's office, "Do you need me to help you dial the number to explain the situation on site?"
Xuanyuan Qing stared blankly at this stranger who had fallen from the sky. When the other party suddenly put his arm around her shoulder, she smelled the sandalwood scent that even the disinfectant could not cover.
"Let go!" She kicked the swivel chair in a panic, and the metal wheels hit the wall with a loud bang.
The onlookers lowered their heads in tacit understanding to organize medical records, only Lin Yu's voice was clearly audible: "You will receive a notification from the Supervision Department within three hours."
When he let go, he stuffed a gold-plated business card into Xuanyuan Qing's palm, "If you want to transfer your internship, look for me at any time."
"Director Peng, I don't know him at all, this person must be here to find fault." Xuanyuan Qing's hand gripping the white coat turned white at the knuckles, the internship chest badge shaking violently on her chest.
Lin Yu leaned against the windowsill and turned his pen casually: "Isn't it just an internship job? Why not just change to another hospital."
"You say it lightly!" Xuanyuan Qing's fingernails dug into her palms, "This is Renhe Hospital, one of the top three in the country!"
Peng Cheng threw the medical record book heavily on the table: "If you want to argue, go out and argue, Xuanyuan Qing, go handle your resignation now, everyone else continue the case discussion."
The two words "resignation" cut through Xuanyuan Qing's nerves like a scalpel, and she suddenly bumped into Lin Yu like crazy: "Who exactly are you, do you know how many all-nighters I pulled for this offer?"
Her mask was soaked with tears and stuck to her face, "My parents are dead and I only have this job left, what right do you have to ruin my life."
Lin Yu pressed her trembling shoulders, his gaze suddenly solemn: "I am the closing disciple of Xuanyuan Hong. Your grandfather entrusted me to find you before he passed away, and this search took seven years."
"Nonsense!" Xuanyuan Qing staggered back and knocked over the tray, surgical instruments clattering to the ground, "If Grandpa were alive, he would be 137 years old!"
"Your father was the old man's child in his old age, and you are the daughter your father got at forty-three." Lin Yu took out a yellowed letter, "Here is a photo of you holding a Hetian jade lock when you were a full month old."
Peng Cheng sneered and pressed the call button: "Security, take these two lunatics..."
"Your medical license has been revoked." Lin Yu suddenly said a string of codes to his phone, "Medical Association file number CN, effective immediately."
"Acting the whole set, huh?" Peng Cheng shook his phone, "The medical system requires a dedicated APP to..." His sneer froze on his face, the scarlet 'Account Deregistered' prompt on the screen making people's eyes ache.
When messy footsteps came from the corridor, Peng Cheng's phone suddenly rang with a mechanical female voice: "To the certificate holder of Jing A·GX287, your medical license has been permanently frozen as of 17:03..."
Peng Cheng clicked the login interface repeatedly, his fingertips trembling slightly, but the system still prompted that the account was invalid.
Seeing that security was about to take Lin Yu and Xuanyuan Qing away, he blocked the elevator in one step: "Please wait a moment!"
Cold sweat had already seeped from the back of his neck, and his keys were slipping when he took out his phone.
The confirmation sound on the other end of the phone made Peng Cheng feel like he had fallen into an ice cave. He stared fixedly at this young man in front of him: "What tricks did you play?" Before the words were finished, rapid footsteps came from the end of the corridor, and the head nurse shouted breathlessly: "Dean Luo has arrived."
Luo Pingchuan, president of the Huacheng Medical Association, rushed into the lobby in a hurry, the hem of his white coat lifting in a sharp arc. ===== CHAPTER 181 =====
