Chapter 3092: with translation of chapter title

"Zheng Lao Ban." Section Chief Ma's respect for Zheng Ren came from the deepest part of his inner mind, addressing him affectionately.

He was like facing the director, suddenly stood up, and said respectfully, "This is definitely not a spur-of-the-moment impulse; to be honest, I've had this idea for a long time, I just couldn't find suitable personnel."

"Huh?" Zheng Ren didn't understand what Section Chief Ma meant; he frowned at Ma, even forgetting to be polite.

"Put it this way, you know Ye Chu of 912, right?" Section Chief Ma, seeing Zheng Lao Ban didn't know what he wanted to say, gave an example to illustrate.

Zheng Ren nodded.

"In earlier years, Ye Chu was in a small coastal city, helping the military district build a hospital." Section Chief Ma began gossiping about Ye Qingqiu.

Zheng Ren and Su Yun were both curious about what Ye Qingqiu had actually done back then.

"To set up a hospital, besides medical staff, the Medical Department is the most important, of utmost importance. At that time, Ye Chu was appointed in a crisis and went to that hospital." Section Chief Ma smiled and said, "There are two things we still talk about to this day."

"First, the locality mainly conducted import-export trade with Korea; the gangs, you know. Even the hospital built in the development zone had to pay protection fees, and Ye Chu faced this as soon as he arrived."

Even the hospital had to pay protection fees…… Zheng Ren clicked his tongue. From Section Chief Ma's meaning, it should be something from over twenty years ago, but even hearing it now feels unreal.

"On a pitch-black night, the entire development zone's roads were swept clean. It's said that over twenty big trucks came that night, swift and forceful; the gang collecting protection fees had no ability to resist. Later they even sent the people to the police station, and then there was nothing after." Section Chief Ma spoke of this with an envious and longing look. (Note 1)

He didn't go into too much detail, but Zheng Ren and Su Yun both understood.

Ye Qingqiu really moved in ruthlessly, directly taking out their lair.

"Another matter isn't important; it's a story about letting the bullet fly a bit longer, we won't talk about it."

"Come on, we've come this far; not saying it would be tantalizing." Su Yun said.

"It was just a child's IV drip that swelled; maybe the drug irritated, causing local skin ulceration and some hand movement problems. The patient's family brought the child to the hospital, scaring the director. A newly established hospital having such an incident would entail a huge compensation that could cost one's life."

Ye Chu handled it simply; after analysis he felt fine, so he just dragged it on. Half a month later, the subcutaneous substance was completely absorbed, with no sequelae, and he waived a thousand yuan in hospitalization fees.

"Tsk tsk, Ye Chu has the bearing of a great general." Su Yun praised.

"Getting back to our topic, back then there were medical disturbances and gangs, but today I've realized the power of the internet era. Previously, incidents were settled privately, hard to cause a big uproar. But now it's different; in just a few hours, I'd guess almost the whole country knows about this." Section Chief Ma said with lingering fear.

"If it weren't for you two stepping up and bringing in experts right away, I don't know whether Director Xu would be okay, but I can certainly say the Medical Department head would take the blame."

"Hehe." Zheng Ren chuckled; in his view it was nothing, he'd just been curious and asked Dahungya a question. As for saving Section Chief Ma, that was his own good luck.

"I've been thinking we need to keep up with the times." Section Chief Ma said, "Next time, if I have to say something inauspicious, and if there is a next time, what should I do? I can't keep calling you two or Ye Chu from far away. This isn't surgery; you can't be summoned to save the situation."

"With experts around, I also have someone to consult."

"Experts……" Zheng Ren felt some regret using that word for Dahungya, but since Section Chief Ma said so, he saw no need to contradict.

Actually, tonight Zheng Ren also opened his eyes; taking oral rifampin makes people think it's some kind of fraud tactic—really high-level. The book only said bodily fluids change color, but who would have thought tears are also bodily fluids?

Knowledge from paper ends up feeling shallow; the old saying still holds true!

Section Chief Ma's phone rang; he bowed apologetically to express regret, then answered.

After saying a couple of sentences, Section Chief Ma's face suddenly changed dramatically!

His complexion had eased a bit, but now it turned deathly pale, losing all color.

After hanging up, Su Yun curiously asked, "Section Chief Ma, what's the matter?"

Section Chief Ma held his chest, took a few breaths, and said, "Just after entering the bureau, someone confessed."

"Murder……"

Section Chief Ma struggled to utter that word, recalling standing before a bloodless murder habitual offender, chattering away, even trying to persuade him…… that was truly frightening.

Zheng Ren and Su Yun were also stunned; how did the topic turn to murder?

Originally, even if they went to the branch bureau, nothing could be done to those people. Even if they took rifampin, had red tears, and used that to extort, as long as they denied it outright, that would be enough.

They hadn't even discussed terms with the hospital, involving no extortion. This is also why the neighborhood committee aunties are present; if it were Zheng Ren, with video, calming online sentiment, and driving them away, that would be the limit.

But once murder is involved, the nature changes.

Section Chief Ma paused, then said, "Perhaps the girl cried too convincingly, stirring someone's heart; after going in she confessed, saying she too had been trafficked since childhood, wandering the jianghu, and when the big brother was unhappy he'd beat and scold her. She also admitted to killing children who had been trafficked and were disobedient."

The situation escalated, unintentionally drawing out such a big matter; Zheng Ren sighed.

"The tree desires calm but the wind won't cease"; it seems tonight this can't be settled. He shook his head and asked, "What about Dahungya?"

"Zheng Lao Ban, rest assured, I'll go bail him out. No, I'll first consult the hospital leadership for approval and give him a position. What do you think of the Security Team Captain at Medical University Affiliated Hospital? Same as before, it shouldn't be a grievance for him."

"Dahungya really has good luck." Su Yun muttered.

"If you two have no objections, I'll do just that. Rest assured, I definitely won't let Expert Huang feel wronged."

"Section Chief Ma, don't say I didn't warn you." Su Yun said sternly, "You need to keep Dahungya in check; if you keep calling him an expert, he'll ride on your neck and give you diarrhea. Being top-heavy, in the end you won't be able to handle him."

After saying that, Su Yun laughed, as if recalling something, "If something happens, my boss won't care anyway."

Note 1: When I went to support experts at a newly opened hospital on the coast years ago, I heard them talk about this. I forgot whether I'd written it before, but this incident left a deep impression on me, and I greatly admired that Medical Department head.
