Chapter 209 - 104 Hand out candy to torture the scum A kiss seals the deal_8
"Director Su, if you don’t give me an explanation for this, your tenure as director is over," Zhuang Xiyue couldn’t help but utter a stern threat.
Her words weren’t baseless, for though she lacked the power herself, the Yan Family behind her certainly had it. To decide the promotion or dismissal of a Jiangzhou Hospital director was just a matter of their word.
Director Su understood this reality all too well. Lady Yan was someone he absolutely could not afford to offend. Now that such a serious incident had occurred in his hospital, if it were to be reported to higher authorities, he would be immediately kicked out and would never be able to work in the hospital industry again.
Moreover, after hearing the whole story from Wei Qing, not only was the patient someone Lady Yan cared about, but she was also Dr. Nyx, whom he treasured immensely. Just for this reason alone, he couldn’t just let it slide.
"Lady Yan, please rest assured, I will immediately establish an investigative team to thoroughly look into this matter. If it was intentional, I will show no mercy, and if it was an accident, I will also provide a satisfactory explanation to Lady Yan. Please calm your anger," he said.
Zhuang Xiyue huffed, "Director Su, for the sake of your son, I won’t divulge this incident, but I expect a satisfactory answer from you. I won’t let any villain who harmed Yun Ya get away with it."
How could the hospital make such a basic error? The likelihood of it being an accident was very low; the most probable scenario was that it was an act of malice. But Yun Ya had only just returned to the country – how could she possibly have made enemies already? The only possibility was the mother and son from the Yun Family.
Zhuang Xiyue didn’t want to suspect the family members of Yun Ya, but everything that Yun Shu and her son had done was clear in her sight. Who else could it be but them?
They say even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, but that mother and son were worse than beasts.
At the same time, she didn’t want to push too hard. On one hand, Director Su’s son was good friends with Yan Song, and Director Su had quite a reputation. To force Director Su to resign over this matter could reflect poorly on both Yan Nanmo and the Yan Family, especially with elections right around the corner and no room for error.
If it was really as she suspected, Director Su was also an innocent victim. She was merely forcing him to take a stand, not to let him dismiss the issue lightly.
At this moment, Pei Jinghong heard the news and rushed over. Upon learning the details, he immediately volunteered to lead the investigation. Director Su trusted him completely and gave him the authority to proceed.
Pei Jinghong worked efficiently, and within the time it took Zhuang Xiyue to drink two cups of tea, he had returned with the results.
It turned out to be a scheme by an intern – Pei Jinghong had already brought the person over.
She was a girl with a delicate appearance, seemingly soft and delicate, who kept her head down and cried upon entering, without saying a word.
Pei Jinghong explained to the two, "Her name is Wen Xiu, an intern recruited externally last week. She is currently an intern in the emergency medicine department. She had a verbal dispute with Miss Ji and, finding out she was hospitalized, wanted to teach her a lesson, so she switched Miss Ji’s medication."
Director Su coldly stared at her: "As an intern, you lack medical ethics and basic humanity. How can someone like you deserve to continue as a doctor? Your existence is a disgrace to the noble word ’doctor.’ Effective today, you are dismissed from this hospital, and this will be noted in your record, ensuring you can never work in this field again. This is my responsibility to the patients and to their families."
A lesson? Did this medical student not know the consequences of administering 0.5% potassium chloride at a 10% concentration? It was utterly ridiculous; it was intentional murder.
Wen Xiu initially thought it wouldn’t be too serious. Lau Nana had promised her that as long as she took the blame, she would be paid a large sum of money. Even if she were dismissed from the hospital, she assured Wen Xiu she wouldn’t have to worry about food or shelter and suggested she could even open her own clinic.
But the next words from a beautiful and elegant lady shattered her illusions completely.
"Director Su, in some respects, this already qualifies as attempted murder. I think we should contact the police. Let the courts decide on sentencing, and if needed, incarceration. Director Su, don’t go easy on her just because she’s young," she said.
Director Su immediately nodded, "What Lady Yan says is right." Turning to Pei Jinghong, he ordered in a stern voice, "Old Pei, contact the police."
Wen Xiu fell to the ground as her face turned deathly pale.
Prison? No, she couldn’t go to prison; that would ruin her life...
"No, I don’t want to go to prison, I don’t want to..." she cried pitifully.
Zhuang Xiyue sneered coldly, showing not the slightest bit of mercy, "Just for a few words of argument you harbored the intent to harm others, and you still call yourself a doctor. Who knows how many patients will die at your hands? You must be severely punished without leniency."
The ever-authoritative Director Su was completely deferential in front of this lady, "Absolutely, Lady Yan is right, there will be no tolerance."
At the bottom of her heart, she finally understood, they had offended a person of significant importance, someone absolutely not within their means to provoke.
She regretted deeply, why did she listen to Lau Nana and oppose that girl? To this extent, it wasn’t something that could be settled with money anymore.
Grinding her teeth, she knelt and crawled to that lady’s feet, who must be the girl’s mother—elegant, noble, dignified, and gentle, obviously a well-pampered lady from a wealthy family.
"Madam, it wasn’t me, please spare me, it really wasn’t me."
Zhuang Xiyue brushed off the non-existent dust on the hem of her dress, appearing graceful and indolent, yet her slightly drooping eyes hid a cold and deep abyss.
"Oh? It wasn’t you? If you are lying, your crime will be even greater."
Wen Xiu immediately said, "It was Lau Nana, she did it, she is the one who made an enemy of your daughter. When she found out your daughter was staying here, she harbored bad intentions. It was her who switched the medicine, and when she was found out, she pushed me forward to take the blame. I really didn’t know anything."
Zhuang Xiyue let out a cold snort, "Why didn’t you say so when you came in before? Is it because she promised to pay you a sum of money, and you agreed to take the fall for her? It seems that you’re not any good either."
Wen Xiu was choked up, this lady was so intimidating.
Zhuang Xiyue did not look at her again, as if afraid of dirtying her eyes.
She turned her head and looked mockingly at Director Su, "Director Su, the handling capability of your hospital is still not up to standard."
Director Su’s face immediately turned ugly, and he glared at Wen Xiu before quickly putting on a smile, "Lady Yan, I am so sorry to have caused you embarrassment. I’ll bring that Lau Nana over immediately."
Pei Jinghong’s face also turned exceptionally ugly, and he quickly left the office.
"Let go of me, let me go! I can walk by myself. Believe it or not, I’ll sue you for kidnapping." Following a young girl’s shouting, the next moment, Pei Jinghong dragged in a woman wearing a white lab coat.
Seeing the director and a beautiful, elegant lady sitting so formally on the sofa, Lau Nana felt a bit uneasy, yet said dissatisfiedly, "Director, what do you want with me?"
She glared fiercely at Wen Xiu standing to the side; dare to betray her? She was done for.
Wen Xiu shrank back slightly, a hint of triumph flashed in her eyes.
Impolite to a fault, Director Su’s impression of this doctor couldn’t get any worse. What was Zhao Min thinking to hire such a person?
Zhuang Xiyue let out a light chuckle, her gaze indifferently falling on her face, and softly asked, "Are you Lau Nana?"
Lau Nana hardly dared to meet those eyes, but the next moment she straightened her chest, "That’s right, I am."
Zhuang Xiyue stood up and walked over. Her steps were dignified and steady, every move filled with the elegance and pride of a lady from a wealthy family, a pleasing sight to behold.
Zhuang Xiyue raised her hand, without any hesitation, a heavy slap landed firmly on her face.
A "smack" sound, crisp and loud.
