Chapter 27: Missing Left Kidney

One month later, Lanwan City People's Hospital, International Medical Department.

In the dead of night, Su Yichen used a key to gently open the door and then walked in on tiptoe. Behind the medical department's office was a file room used to store the department's personnel files. Although most departments in the hospital now used electronic files, because the International Medical Department had complex personnel, many cross-department employees, and temporary employees, the habit of storing paper files was retained.

Shi Yi had been gone for a full month, and there had been no news of her since.

Su Yichen lived in fear and anxiety every day. He didn't know how Shi Yi was doing in Africa? Had she adapted, had she gotten sick or tired? He didn't even know if she was still alive?

It was said that the Sozali Republic had erupted into a new round of civil strife, with the Green Forest Army invading the capital, causing explosions everywhere, and countless innocent civilians being killed every day.

Shi Yi... would she be in danger?

Ever since Shi Yi left China and went to Sozali, Su Yichen realized for the first time how much he loved her...

He thought of her and worried about her almost every moment...

If something really happened to Shi Yi, he knew he would never be at peace for the rest of his life!

Su Yichen's only wish now was to be able to have a phone call with Shi Yi and hear her voice, at least to let him know she was still alive!

But he didn't know Shi Yi's phone number at all.

Nor did he know any of her contact information.

Su Yichen had begged Ni Xia, asking her to tell him Shi Yi's contact information, but he was rejected. He could feel that Director Ni... didn't seem to like him. She didn't hide her disgust for him at all.

Helpless, he found an opportunity tonight, secretly obtained the key to the International Medical Department, and sneaked in here.

"Sozali Medical Team, 21st Squad, Shi Yi... found it!"

Su Yichen finally found Shi Yi's file among the many files.

He couldn't wait to open Shi Yi's file. He saw that the first page of the file recorded Shi Yi's basic information, including name, age, ID number... and a one-inch close-up photo of her with a blue background.

The second page was Shi Yi's employment contract, confidentiality agreement, insurance contract, and various other documents.

The third page... was the medical examination report.

The entire file didn't record any contact information for Shi Yi at all! Nor was there any other effective information.

Su Yichen sighed heavily!

It seemed this path wouldn't work either. Helpless, he had to take out his phone, take photos of Shi Yi's file from beginning to end, and then put the file back in its original place.

The clock ticked forward.

Su Yichen didn't go home but returned to the office, sat in front of the computer desk, and carefully studied Shi Yi's medical examination report.

Something was wrong...

Su Yichen's brow furrowed tightly. As an internal medicine doctor, he saw at a glance that there was a problem with Shi Yi's medical examination report. The data in the report was perfect, and judging from these data alone, Shi Yi's body was almost perfect and healthy, and her physical function could almost reach 100 points.

But he clearly remembered that Shi Yi's body was covered in wounds, her face was abnormally pale due to anemia, and she had even fainted due to a stomach hemorrhage last time and was sent to the hospital...

In just one month, how could she have changed into a different person?!

Su Yichen operated the keyboard skillfully and pulled up the hospital's patient database, entering Shi Yi's name.

To his surprise, the next second, two sets of examination results for Shi Yi popped up.

One was the "blood test result." After Su Yichen clicked to view it, he confirmed that this was the blood test result from when Shi Yi was hospitalized last time. The data showed she had severe anemia and an immune reaction caused by allergies at that time.

The other was... a medical examination report?

Su Yichen clicked on it cautiously and found that this was a comprehensive medical examination report, the type being "employment medical examination," indicating that this was the medical examination Shi Yi did when she first joined the International Medical Department.

However... these data didn't match the data in the file library.

Su Yichen looked at it line by line carefully. The more he looked, the tighter his brow furrowed, and his breathing became more rapid...

Just as he flipped to the page of the CT report, his pupils contracted suddenly.

He saw four large characters written on it: "Missing Left Kidney."

Su Yichen felt a thunderclap in mid-air. Immediately after, the image of the scar he had discovered on her left lower back when he examined Shi Yi's body that day appeared in his mind...

So, that one was really a knife scar, and it was a surgical knife scar.

She had had a kidney removed!

After realizing this truth, Su Yichen suddenly reacted: the medical examination report Ni Xia received was fake, and it was very likely that Shi Yi had someone forge it in order to join the medical team. And the one in his hand was the real one!

Su Yichen felt as if his heart had been stabbed unexpectedly, and even breathing became painful...

Shi Yi's pale, fragile face, her thin body, and the lonely expression she had always worn since being released from prison this time, appeared in his mind once again...

He should have discovered it earlier!

As an internal medicine doctor, he should have discovered that Shi Yi's body had problems long ago. Simple seafood allergies wouldn't cause a person to vomit blood and faint, unless her organ function was already very fragile. And the bruises on her body could be seen to have been caused a long time ago, yet they hadn't healed... indicating that her body's metabolism had also developed problems!

At this moment, Su Yichen's face was as pale as snow, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, his fingertips clenched tightly together, and the veins were bulging.

Every word on the conclusion of the medical examination report was like a silver needle piercing his heart: missing left kidney, pulmonary fibrous tissue hyperplasia, moderate damage to the gastric mucosa, moderate anemia...

Su Yichen couldn't imagine what had happened to Shi Yi?

In these five years... how had she lived?

He really wanted to ask Shi Yi in person, who on earth had hurt her to this extent! He wanted to hold Shi Yi in his arms, gently stroke every wound on her body with his hands, and wanted to kneel in front of her and say "I'm sorry."

He was simply damned!

He had personally pushed that person, the one who had once loved him unconditionally and believed in him, into the abyss!

But now, Shi Yi was already separated from him by ten thousand mountains and rivers... she had disappeared to the other side of the world.

Su Yichen gritted his teeth fiercely, then tore his coat off the hanger with a "swish," turned, and put it on.

Then he pushed open the door and walked out with long strides. ===== CHAPTER 28 =====
