Chapter 1144: [1144] The crowd is tense

The thing they feared and worried about the most was that this incident would drag everyone down. Zhang Huayao was here every day, waiting to catch the smallest fault of those at Guoxie. In this scenario, Tan Kelin was clearly delivering himself into the enemy’s firing line, thought Chang Jiawei.

Fu Xinheng pressed his hands on the table and ordered the reporting doctor, "Doctor Li, go and call over the nurse who mentioned this matter." They needed to clarify what condition Tan Kelin was currently in.

It would be best to ask people from General Surgery Department Two, or even Tan Kelin himself. But they worried that the staff from General Surgery Department Two might be hesitant to speak, and Tan Kelin would be even less inclined.

Thinking of this, Tao Zhijie turned his head, his eyes locking onto the junior sister holding her mobile phone.

Feeling the gaze of her senior, Xie Wanying realized she had forgotten to hang up the phone.

On the other end, Teacher Xiao Sun overheard the commotion on their side, including Chang Jiawei’s curse, becoming so anxious that he wanted to retort, saying, "Student Xiao Xie, you must understand, such incidents are accidental. Teacher Tan is the last person who would wish for this to happen. You tell them to rest assured, Teacher Tan won’t delay Teacher Lu’s surgery no matter what!"

"Give me the phone," Tao Zhijie extended his hand towards her.

Xie Wanying hesitated.

"Haven’t I told you many times? I’m easy to talk to," Tao Zhijie said to her with a gentle smile, hoping to put her at ease.

After a brief struggle, Xie Wanying decided to trust the approachable Senior Tao and handed over her phone.

Taking the phone, Tao Zhijie immediately inquired about the situation on the other end, "Can Dr. Tan speak now? If so, let me have a few words with him."

What a Buddha! Sun Yubo cursed under his breath, dubbing Student Xie a stubborn, honest fool for inadvertently revealing the truth as soon as he was told not to.

"Give me the phone," Tan Kelin, aware of the situation, said to his subordinates.

Shi Xu held the phone for him, as his hand had just been treated for a wound.

"Dr. Tan, I’ll come to see you in a bit," Tao Zhijie said straightforwardly, as he picked up the phone. As the patient’s attending physician and Chief Surgeon, he needed to see for himself whether the injuries sustained by a vital member of the surgery team would affect the operation.

"You can come over," Tan Kelin agreed readily and directly.

For such a critical surgery, no one could take it lightly, and no one could bear the consequences.

"Have you seen Teacher Lu’s condition in thoracic surgery?" Tan Kelin then asked, saying, "You don’t have to come here. I’ve been treated now and am going to thoracic surgery to see the patient and their medical record."

"I’m in Doctor Fu’s office; you can come here first. Doctor Zhang is in the patient’s ward," Tao Zhijie informed him.

"Alright," Tan Kelin indicated that he understood the current situation.

If Zhang Huayao got wind of this, who knew how he might ridicule their Guoxie doctors for lacking professionalism.

About ten minutes later, Tan Kelin arrived at the thoracic surgery department.

Everyone in the office waited for him to enter and stood up to greet him when they saw him.

Seeing the concerned expressions of many, Shi Xu who accompanied Tan Kelin thought: Normally these people did not take interest in Tan Kelin’s well-being, clearly indicating their concern was not really for Tan Kelin himself.

"How’s your hand?" Chang Jiawei was the first to rush over, scrutinizing the two hands that Tan Kelin had tucked into his white coat’s pockets.

With long sleeves on, the both arms that Tan Kelin placed in his pockets hung naturally, and at first glance, it didn’t seem like he had an injured hand. As a doctor, he had ways to hide the extent of injuries.
