[Second Update] 206: Chapter 205: I’ll Take Responsibility if Something Goes Wrong!

[Second Update] Dean Zhong, seeing no one replying, began calling on people.

The first person he called upon was a veteran expert who had worked diligently in the hospital for nearly fifty years and had already retired.

“Elder Chen, as a senior expert in this field, do you have any effective methods?”

Elder Chen looked troubled and after a long contemplation, he shook his head and said, “The H7N9 virus is a new type of virus, and it has a very rapid mortality rate.

It only takes a few days from infection to death.

Other than taking more preventative measures in advance and avoiding contact with poultry and seafood, there is no other way!”

Dean Zhong continued to press, “Then what about those seven patients who are already infected in the hospital, what should be done about them?”

Elder Chen thought for a moment, spread his hands with a helpless expression, and said, “Have them transferred to another hospital.

Our hospital is really powerless!”

Hearing Elder Chen’s words, other doctors all agreed.

It’s best to send these seven patients who have been infected with the virus away sooner rather than later; out of sight, out of mind.

Even if the patients all fall ill and die, as long as it doesn’t happen in the hospital, it has nothing to do with the hospital and themselves, and they won’t bear any further responsibility.

Just then, Tang Lan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly raised her hand to speak.

“Dean Zhong, I disagree.

The patients’ condition is very critical, and it is not suitable to transfer them over a long distance.

Moreover, once they leave the hospital, it’s very easy for them to cause cross-infection with family and friends around them.

Once it spreads, it will inevitably cause panic throughout the city!”

“Director Tang, those are nice words that anyone can say.

But if we keep the patients here and they fall ill again, or even die from it, then who will take that responsibility?”

The person who voiced the differing opinion was named Tu Gang.

Although his relationship with Tang Lan wasn’t particularly good, they had no feud either.

Both were associate chief physicians, and the head of their department would retire at the end of the year.

He had heard through the grapevine that the hospital was considering promoting one of the two associate chief physicians to be the head physician of the department.

Now that he had the opportunity to put pressure on his competitor, how could he let it go?

“I’ll take responsibility if something happens!”

Tang Lan, anxious in her heart, took it upon herself to take on the responsibility.

Tu Gang didn’t expect Tang Lan to be so impulsive and mocked, “Director Tang, may I ask, what will you use to take this responsibility?”

Hearing Tu Gang’s aggressive questioning, Tang Lan was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure how to respond.

In fact, she was also unsure how to take on such a big responsibility.

It’s just her professional mission as a doctor that told her, she must not leave the patients when they need help the most.

However, just as the whole dean’s office fell into silence and everyone’s eyes were fixed on the “oblivious” Tang Lan, the door suddenly creaked open.

“If something happens, I will take full responsibility!”

The person speaking was none other than Li Chen, who had just arrived at the hospital.

Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide open as they looked at this uninvited visitor who had barged in.

Tu Gang asked, “Who are you?”

Tang Lan, seeing it was Li Chen and Chuxue, quickly went up to them.

“Li Chen, Chuxue, what are you doing here?

This isn’t a place for you to fool around, get out!”

Ye Chuxue solemnly said, “Mom, we’re not fooling around.

Brother Li Chen has found a specific effective medicine for treating the H7N9 virus, and the effect is immediate!”

Instantly, the whole office fell silent.

However, in the next instant, it erupted in a roar of laughter.

Tu Gang even laughed until he cried, “Little sister, curing patients isn’t child’s play.

For Director Tang’s sake, I won’t hold you responsible.

Better leave quickly, don’t distract us from our meeting!”

Li Chen stepped forward, a cold smile on his face, and said, “What if I have a Spiritual Medicine that is a specific cure for the H7N9 virus?”

Tu Gang disdainfully said, “All of us experts here haven’t been able to develop any specific medicine.

How dare you, merely a kid, boast so wildly?”

Li Chen didn’t reply but instead asked back, “What does my age have to do with you?

I’m just asking you, if I have the specific medicine, what would you say?”

“If you have a specific medicine that can treat the H7N9 virus, then I, Tu Gang, will live stream myself eating shit!”

Tu Gang was cornered by Li Chen’s words and in his urgency, he made a very harsh vow.

Li Chen smiled at him and said, “Good, remember this is what you said!”

Tu Gang, with clenched teeth, stated, “Yes, that’s what I said.

I don’t believe that you, a young brat, could possibly have any specific medicine.”

Having said this, he then turned his gaze towards Tang Lan.

“Director Tang, the family education in your household is truly formidable, Tu Gang admires that!”

In Tu Gang’s opinion, the appearance of Li Chen provided him with a perfect opportunity.

No matter what, Tang Lan had to take responsibility for this farce.

After all, it involved the safety of a patient’s life – this was not something to be trifled with.

Perhaps, she would even have to resign and be blacklisted in the medical community.

Moreover, she would have to carry this stain for her entire life and could not hold any position in a regular top-tier hospital.

Tang Lan couldn’t care less about Tu Gang’s sarcasm; instead, she looked anxiously at Li Chen and Ye Chuxue.

“Li Chen, Chuxue, you two go home quickly, stop messing around here!”

Li Chen looked into Tang Lan’s eyes and said seriously, “Aunt Tang, I’m not messing around, please believe in me just this once!”

Seeing Li Chen’s clear and sincere eyes, not appearing to be joking, Tang Lan felt a surge of suspicion in her heart.

Could it be he really has some kind of miracle Spiritual Medicine?

Ye Chuxue gripped Tang Lan’s arm and pleaded in a low voice, “Mom, Brother Li Chen is really amazing, please just let him try!”

Tang Lan, seeing that her cherished daughter, who had never gotten along with Li Chen and always behaved like a frenemy, was also surprised.

Then she remembered the conversation she had with Chuxue on the phone that morning, and her brows knitted slightly.

Could it be that the two of them have really tasted the forbidden fruit?

Otherwise, considering Chuxue’s personality, why would her attitude toward Li Chen change so quickly?

Zhang Ailing once said, to conquer a man, one must conquer his stomach, and to conquer a woman, one must conquer her X.

Judging from the fact that her daughter had been speaking on behalf of Li Chen, it was obvious she had been conquered by him.

It was beyond Tang Lan’s imagination that her always obedient daughter could do something like tasting the forbidden fruit.

However, she was an open-minded mother and did not reprimand her.

Moreover, now was not the time for that.

“We’ll settle this when we get home!”

Tang Lan patted her daughter on the head and said this incomprehensible sentence before turning to look at Li Chen.

“Li Chen, do you really have a miracle cure for the H7N9 virus?”

Li Chen nodded and said, “Yes!”

As he spoke, he pulled out several small jade bottles as if by magic.

“Aunt Tang, these are it!”

At this moment, Dean Zhong, Elder Chen, and others stepped forward.

Elder Chen took a jade bottle and sniffed it at the tip of his nose.

Dean Zhong asked, “Elder Chen, what do you think?”

Elder Chen paused for a moment, shook his head, and said, “It’s colorless and odorless; human olfaction cannot discern the contents.

To be cautious, I suggest we take it to the laboratory for testing!”

Dean Zhong nodded and handed a bottle of the medicine to Director Li, who was in charge of the laboratory.

“Little Li, take this to your lab and check the contents, the sooner the better!”

“Okay, Dean!” Little Li took the jade bottle and rushed towards the elevator.

Seeing this scene, Tu Gang scoffed.

“If it’s colorless and odorless, that’s just plain water, isn’t it?

What’s the point of testing it?

It’s just a waste of time!”

Li Chen did not refute this point.

He was right; it was basically just plain water, albeit plain water infused with Spiritual Power.

…

Second update, do I have any recommendation tickets?

If not, I’ll come back to ask in the next chapter?
