Chapter 3000: 2800 A Basket of Stupid Thieves

The atmosphere in the office was a bit off; Su Yun coughed and said, "I'll go first."

The patient's condition isn't serious; I just watched yesterday's livestream of the Shou Bing procedure—there were a few minor flaws, but for Xiao Ran it's already quite well done.

After the Shou Bing, the patient's recovery was also good; when the Boss checked vitals, I felt the ascites had started to decrease, and I didn't notice anything abnormal about the condition. Overall, it's just an ordinary patient—Chang Yue, what are you worried about? You can say it first.

Chang Yue hesitated, then said: "It's just a feeling—I think the relationship between the patient and their family is a bit delicate…"

She paused, seeming to search for how to describe the relationship between the patient and their family.

I think the couple's relationship is nice—when I went to see them just now, it felt quite warm. Su Yun said.

It's not bad—the man is a few years younger than the woman, but he takes care of her very attentively. Chang Yue didn't deny that, but she persisted, "It's not that I have ideas just because they get along well; I always feel something's off."

Any clues? Zheng Ren asked.

For example, when explaining the pre-op, the man listened very seriously and carefully, asking about many details and constantly praising Chief Zheng. He said this is a Nobel Prize–level procedure, that winning the Nobel Prize means the Shou Bing is definitely problem-free.

That's not a problem. Su Yun lacked his usual vigor, he frowned and pondered, "To be frank, the TIPS Surgery is no longer what it used to be."

I'm not talking about that; it's… the man acts very professional. He probably isn't a doctor—I just have a sense that he knows the TIPS Surgery very deeply.

Zheng Ren felt Chang Yue's reasoning still wasn't sufficient.

Let me put it this way: ordinary patients ask some silly questions, but this patient's family always hits the point. If Su Yun hadn't explained to me in detail the difference between the new TIPS Surgery and the old-style TIPS Surgery, I'd be embarrassed during the pre-op explanation, getting stumped by the family.

Chang Yue would certainly not form a bad impression of that man just because he asks in detail; Zheng Ren can confirm that, after all, it's a doctor's professional competence, and Chang Yue doesn't lack it.

What are you talking about? All messed up. Su Yun said disdainfully, "Is it because the patient's family is too professional, surely they've done lengthy research, very meticulous, so you think there's a problem?"

Yes. Chang Yue said, pushing her glasses.

Sister Yue, the patient's family cares about the patient's condition and has learned a bit more—there's no problem with that, right? Gu Xiao Ran said softly.

No, it's a big problem. Gao Shaojie said, "The patient's family's understanding of the condition differs from a doctor's; they only believe what they want to believe. In medical school we learned that clinical practice requires contact over countless years, and during that time the most important thing is the two words 'objective'."

Chang Yue suddenly looked up, as if Gao Shaojie's words had let her grasp something. But that insight flashed and vanished; upon reflection, she still gained nothing.

I just remembered—when Chang Yue the doctor and the patient's family did the pre-op explanation, I vaguely recall it. Indeed it was professional, but saying 'professional' isn't fitting; it should be 'calm, objective'.

Su Yun had no impression at all; that guy isn't at the hospital every day, but he immediately summed up what Gao Shaojie and Chang Yue had said and pondered it.

To be able to stay that calm, back in the day it would definitely have been a medical disturbance. Su Yun said.

Exactly, that's the feeling! Chang Yue said, "But after the Shou Bing, I didn't see any problems with the patient, and the family kept expressing thanks—I've seen him three times in the hallway, and each time he bowed politely."

Zheng Ren tried to recall what happened during earlier rounds; he didn't see anything suspicious about the patient's family. Peeling an apple, they were very gentle and courteous, their speech and demeanor showed no sign of wanting to cause trouble.

Besides, during the current crackdown, even a professional medical troublemaker like Dahungya has vanished—this person probably isn't a professional medical troublemaker.

I heard my dad say medical troublemakers have almost disappeared lately. Lin Yuan said, "I actually feel…"

Saying that, she gave an embarrassed laugh, "Impossible."

What's impossible about what? Speak clearly. Su Yun said disdainfully.

Uh… if someone is very calm, very objective, very professional, those adjectives make me think of the occupation of assassin. Lin Yuan laughed, "Impossible—how could we have assassins in our country?"

There are some, but basically they're just stupid thieves. Earlier someone hired a professional assassin to take out a rival, but the guy was totally unprofessional—after a few rounds, he ended up in the hands of two petty thieves. Su Yun began gossiping aimlessly.

Originally the price for a hit was two million, but in the end, after falling into the hands of those two petty thieves, only five thousand remained. The two of them figured that five thousand wasn't worth killing someone over, so they simply went to the target, told the person who was supposed to be killed about it, and asked him to cooperate.

Life is twisted and strange—does the assassin trade still have this kind of weird thing? Zheng Ren blinked, then instinctively asked, "What happened next?"

Later, that person cooperated with the assassin to stage a fake scene, then turned around and sued the two stupid thieves. The police followed the clues and arrested everyone involved. You just say it—how unreliable it is, that's how unreliable it is.

Well, you can't compare it to movies—movies have artistic embellishment. Just like us doctors can't be compared to medical dramas; those handsome beauties, you'd never see their sorry state when they're Inpatient Chiefs. All worn out, who has energy for romance?

Yeah, being an Inpatient Chief is manual labor.

I don't know when the topic shifted onto the Inpatient Chief.

Cough cough~ Chang Yue coughed twice, unhappy; everyone in the room quieted down as Zheng Lao Ban and Yun Ge'er fell silent, and then they all hushed randomly.

What Xiao Linzi said is too vague—it shouldn't be an assassin; we rule that out. Chang Yue brought the topic back, "Let's talk again—what else could it be?"

What about medical troublemakers? I think it's still medical troublemakers. Gu Xiao Ran said.

Probably not either, but I'll note it—later… Chang Yue glanced at Su Yun, "Later you and Director Lin should prepare a case report, explain the situation, avoid any medical disputes."

Sure, no problem. Su Yun laughed, "Want to call Lin Ge over? He's old and crafty; he should be able to offer some targeted opinions and suggestions."

Chang Yue hesitated a moment, then ultimately rejected Su Yun's suggestion.
