Chapter 224 - 106 Whoever confesses first is at a disadvantage_7
She is Dr. Nyx, the internationally renowned heart surgery expert. It seems that nothing that happens to her would be surprising.
"By the way, what do you need all this information on deaf-mute children for? Are you working on a research project?" Wei Qing asked, puzzled.
Yun Ya took out a few key documents and, without looking back, said, "Do you know Professor Piers Bird?"
Wei Qing immediately recited what she knew about the famous professor: "A renowned medical professor from Germany, graduated from Harvard University IOM, is a lifetime professor at Harvard Medical School. An internationally famous cellular biologist, he has published hundreds of articles in journals like Nature, Cell, PNAS, and holds numerous United States and international patents. His latest research topic on polarized epithelial cell vesicle transport in cell and molecular biology has caused a great stir in both the biological and medical communities..."
Such a figure, standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid, was beyond Wei Qing’s wildest dreams.
Yun Ya said indifferently, "Professor Bird has developed a new project, analyzing the curability of congenital deafness from a biological cellular perspective. I’m involved in this research project and need more practical cases. Many of them involve drug-induced deafness, which isn’t very helpful for the research."
Wei Qing looked at Yun Ya with admiration: "Wow, it’s actually Professor Bird’s latest research project. If you can crack the century-old problem of congenital deafness, the Nobel Prize in Medicine would undoubtedly be yours."
The smile on Yun Ya’s face faded significantly. She did not seek supreme honor and fame; she was doing all this just to cure Miaomiao.
Thinking of this, her body filled with vigor once again. No matter how many difficulties and thorns lay ahead, she would strive to overcome them.
Although she was technically on staff, the hospital would not let her practice clinically. News of Dr. Nyx taking a position in the hospital caused a huge uproar in the domestic medical community.
Dr. Nyx has returned to the country? Why was there no news before, and even more surprising, Dr. Nyx turned out to be a person from Country Hua, choosing a "no-name" hospital? How did this hospital get so lucky?
The domestic media was restless, and there was also foreign reporting on the matter. Confirmation from St. Mary Hospital that Dr. Nyx had officially resigned from St. Mary Hospital half a month ago caused the outside world to finally believe that Dr. Nyx really had returned to her country and had chosen to work at an ordinary hospital.
Within the circle of doctors at Jiangzhou First People’s Hospital, this was no secret. Everyone speculated whether this Dr. Nyx was real or fake as they had never seen her in person. Perhaps it was just a smoke grenade released by the hospital to attract attention.
The doctors and nurses were discussing this matter privately. Wei Qing brought lunch back from the cafeteria at noon and, seeing Yun Ya still buried in her documents and recalling the noisy gossip in the cafeteria, felt a sense of pride and satisfaction.
"Xiao Ji, don’t look at those right now. Let’s eat first," Wei Qing said as she placed the lunch box on the table, opening it while speaking to Yun Ya.
Sweet and sour ribs, stir-fried pork, and spicy shredded potatoes—the aroma was tantalizing.
Yun Ya put down the documents and, her stomach timely rumbling, walked over and picked up the chopsticks to start eating.
Wei Qing pondered and asked, "Aren’t you concerned about Lau Nana’s fate?"
Yun Ya peeled off the fish’s sweet coating, took a bite of the tender white fish, and said indifferently, "Oh? What happened to her?"
Her tone was very calm, without any curiosity.
Wei Qing sighed, "All right, I admit defeat to you completely."
With the testimony from the young nurse and Wen Xiu, along with the surveillance footage and Lau Nana’s fingerprints found on the syringe, it was enough to determine a criminal case. Lau Nana was temporarily detained, awaiting trial with conclusive evidence. Being sentenced was inevitable; it just depended on how many years she would get.
Wen Xiu was fired by the hospital. With this record in her file, she would never be able to work in the medical profession again. After studying medicine for so many years and being unable to rely on it to make a living, it was clear what her fate would be.
"People like them, they got what they deserved," Wei Qing said resentfully.
She also realized something: Lau Nana’s behavior, though despicable, was not serious enough to warrant such a fate. The only explanation was that she had provoked someone she should not have...
Thinking of that elegant and dignified lady, her heart turned cold.
What was her relationship to Xiao Ji? She seemed very powerful.
In her heart, she also became deeply curious about Xiao Ji’s background, but she was well aware that she was just an assistant. It was her job to do her duty well, and Xiao Ji’s private life was not her concern.
