Chapter 100: Qu Tuotuo Is Angry, and the Consequences Are Severe

Take them back to the ward.

Yu Dazhang looked around but didn’t see Qu Tuotuo.

Left?

That can’t be, she promised to wait for us.

Just as he was about to call her, he saw Qu Tuotuo walk in from outside.

She looked furious, as if angry at someone, yet her expression also carried helplessness.

“What’s wrong?” Yu Dazhang asked quietly:

“Had a fight?”

Qu Tuotuo first glanced into the ward, confirmed no medical staff were inside, then said:

“After the doctor left, I went in to check on the child’s condition.”

“I noticed she still had a fever, so I went to find the nurses to ask them to reduce it, but they refused.”

“I went back to that male doctor and asked about the medication.”

“He refused outright, saying I wasn’t family and had no right to know.”

“His attitude was terrible.”

As she spoke, Qu Tuotuo still seemed indignant; she took a deep breath before continuing:

“This hospital is like this—nurses like this, doctors like this too.”

So that’s why… Yu Dazhang heard her out without surprise.

He’d already been beaten down once by this hospital’s service attitude.

Though he sensed something odd, he didn’t dwell on it.

Probably the family ran off, and the doctors and nurses were resentful.

“Maybe they’re under heavy work pressure, so their emotions are fluctuating,” Yu Dazhang whispered gently:

“Forget it, don’t bother with them.”

“No,” Qu Tuotuo’s tone grew agitated:

“We can’t just let it go—how can the child not get her fever down? If they won’t tell me, I’ll ask someone else.”

Saying this, she pulled out her phone and started scrolling through her contacts.

Yu Dazhang didn’t stop her; he also thought it was bad for the child to keep having a fever, and it was better for Qu Tuotuo to consult professionals.

With her circle and family connections, she’d surely have some contacts in major hospitals.

Soon Qu Tuotuo dialed the number.

Then she placed the phone to her ear and walked to the far end of the corridor, away from the nurses’ station.

This girl is quite interesting… At that moment, Yu Dazhang suddenly found Qu Tuotuo’s personality likable.

Unlike those quiet, reserved girls, her nature was like a gentle breeze—comforting and pleasant.

Honest, warmhearted, unpretentious—she always brought a sense of purity and freshness.

A person’s character often reveals itself through a specific event.

Some people seem kind daily, yet at critical moments they’ll abandon you without hesitation.

But before the event, you’d never suspect they were that kind of person.

Qu Tuotuo’s call lasted fifteen minutes.

When she returned, she signaled Yu Dazhang to move somewhere else to talk.

Leaving pediatrics, they went to a window in the hospital stairwell.

“I suggest transferring the child to another hospital,” Qu Tuotuo said seriously to Yu Dazhang:

“As soon as possible.”

“Why?” Yu Dazhang asked.

He couldn’t decide on transferring the child.

Now that the parents had been found, even if they were to handle the transfer, they’d need a reasonable explanation.

“I just got the phone numbers of two pediatric specialists through a friend,” Qu Tuotuo spoke faster:

“Both said the child should be cooled down immediately.”

“I described the child’s current symptoms in detail; though they couldn’t be certain, they gave a general judgment.”

“They said it doesn’t look like pediatric encephalitis.”

A lot of information… Yu Dazhang quickly processed it in his mind.

First, cooling the fever was definitely correct. Second, this hospital likely misdiagnosed.

Those pediatric specialists wouldn’t make firm claims without seeing the patient.

But they could judge based on symptoms alone, meaning they had some confidence.

If so, this hospital truly couldn’t be trusted.

Lives are at stake—no time to waste.

Back in the ward, they explained the situation to the child’s parents; they didn’t object and agreed to the transfer.

Moreover, they now had absolute trust in Yu Dazhang.

Not just because of his police identity, but because he helped pay off the outstanding bills.

Next came the paperwork.

During this time, Qu Tuotuo contacted another hospital and arranged for their medical vehicle to come pick them up.

Please... collect... 6...9...books...!

He’d assumed it would go smoothly.

But unexpectedly, just as half the paperwork was done, the same pediatric male doctor suddenly entered the ward.

“Who authorized this transfer?” he demanded upon entering:

“Do you know the consequences?”

The child’s parents froze, seemingly afraid of the male doctor, yet still explained:

“The child’s been here for half a month with no improvement—we’re just switching hospitals, that’s reasonable.”

Yu Dazhang watched, frowning.

Why were the parents so afraid of him?

Was it normal for patients’ families to fear doctors?

He’d never experienced this before, yet he felt something was off about their dynamic.

“She hasn’t improved because she has a serious illness,” the male doctor’s voice rose louder:

“If you transfer her now and something happens, our hospital will be held responsible.”

It sounded like a valid reason, yet it felt forced and unreasonable.

Seeing the couple silenced, Yu Dazhang stepped forward and separated them.

“The decision to transfer lies with the family—the hospital shouldn’t interfere, right?”

He didn’t know much about this, so he didn’t speak with certainty, only probing to see what the doctor really wanted.

“Officer, you’re overstepping,” the male doctor snapped, irritated:

“Isn’t this outside your jurisdiction?”

Yu Dazhang wasn’t going to be silenced—he glared:

“If there’s a dispute, I’ll handle it. Frankly, I think you’re deliberately harassing them.”

“You—” The male doctor hadn’t expected Yu Dazhang to push back so hard; he was momentarily speechless.

At that moment, the nurses outside also entered.

They rushed to the bedside and surrounded the child.

“You can’t transfer the patient—it’s extremely dangerous for her.”

They weren’t cold anymore… Yu Dazhang was momentarily stunned.

They showed no such urgency during treatment—why were they so agitated now that transfer was mentioned?

Like they’d become different people.

As if all their energy and enthusiasm had been channeled solely into blocking the transfer.

Were they truly acting in the patient’s interest?

Yu Dazhang couldn’t decide.

Lacking medical knowledge, he couldn’t tell if they were telling the truth.

As the standoff continued, Qu Tuotuo walked in holding a stack of documents.

“The medical vehicle is downstairs—only the attending doctor and hospital leadership’s approval remain; all other paperwork is done.”

Transfer isn’t the same as discharge, so the procedures are entirely different.

Hospital leadership approval was indeed required, due to liability concerns.

“I am the attending doctor,” the male doctor told Qu Tuotuo:

“I won’t approve the transfer, and neither will the leadership.”

As if anticipating this exact scenario, Qu Tuotuo merely glanced at him and replied calmly:

“You don’t need to approve it—the person you’re supposed to coordinate with is arriving soon.”
