Before noon.
Nan Shan District Second Hospital.
The group arrived at the X-ray room on the second floor. Xue Xiaoliang didn’t need to queue for his turn and was pushed into the room by the nurse.
One minute….
Two minutes….
Three minutes….
No one thought there would be anything wrong with the x-rays, and everyone sat there patiently. Dong Xuebing and Lawyer Hu are chatting by the window, and the Officers are looking around out of boredom. Xue Qingrong and Director Wu sat on the blue plastic bench.
“Chief Xue, are we going to carry on with the discussed treatment procedure?” Director Wu asked.
Xue Qingrong nodded. “Start it after the x-rays are completed.”
Director Wu frowned and looked at Dong Xuebing. “What if they have other requests? The treatment might have to be delayed to this afternoon, and it might not be good for Xiaoliang’s recovery.
Xue Qingrong glanced at Dong Xuebing. “When the x-rays are out, he will not have the chance to make other requests!”
Director Wu understood what Chief Xue meant and immediately ordered a doctor to prepare the treatment procedures.
The x-rays will show Xue Xiaoliang has multiple fractures, and that’s enough to charge Dong Xuebing for intentional assault, and no lawyers can stop it.
Three minutes….
Five minutes….
Ten minutes….
Director Wu frowned as they had been waiting for a while. X-rays should not take so long. CT scan results are also very fast, but the results are in batches, and patients have to wait. Xue Xiaoliang is the only patient for this examination, and it should be quite fast.
A doctor came out of the x-ray room with a shocked expression.
Director Wu looks at the doctor. “What are you doing? Are the x-rays done?”
The Doctor replied. “Director Wu… errr…. Can you come over for a minute?”
“What’s wrong?” Director Wu walks over. “Are the results out?”
“Can we talk inside? This…” The Doctor opened the door for Director Wu.
Dong Xuebing suddenly blocked the door and stopped them. “What are you all doing? Are the x-ray results out? Bring them out if they are ready. Why are you calling your Director into the room? Ah? Are you trying to amend the results?”
Lawyer Hu walks over and protests.
The few Officers sensed something was wrong and looked over.
Director Wu saw them and did not enter the room. He said to that Doctor. “Bring the x-rays out!” He thought to himself in his heart. What can go wrong now?
The Doctor returned to the room and came out with an x-ray. “This is the x-ray of his right arm.”
“The arm with the fracture?” Director Wu glanced at the x-ray, and his face changed!
Xue Qingrong stands up. “What is it?”
The other doctors and Officers moved closer to look at the x-ray.
Fracture? There are no fractures shown in the x-ray! The bones are intact!
Xue Qingrong and Director Wu are stunned!
“What are you all doing?” Director Wu stared at that Doctor. “Did you all use the wrong arm?”
The Doctor also could not believe the results. “No. This is the right arm, and we took x-rays twice.”
Xue Qingrong shouted. “Impossible!”
Dong Xuebing snatched the x-ray from Director Wu and looked at it before giving it to Lawyer Hu.
“Give us back that x-ray!” Director Wu panicked and tried to snatch it.
Dong Xuebing grabbed his wrist. “What are you trying to do? Are you trying to destroy the evidence?”
Lawyer Hu quickly kept the evidence with the x-rays he had gotten earlier.
Xue Qingrong looks at Director Wu. “What is going on?”
“I am not sure. The machine might have some problems.” Director Wu shouted at the Doctor. “Get the chest x-ray! Be careful this time!” There should be fractures in the chest area, as he was the one who accompanied Xue Xiaoliang and Xue Qingrong to take the x-ray this morning. He had seen the results with his own eyes.
One minute….
Five minutes….
Ten minutes….
The door opens, and the Doctor walks out. “Director Wu.”
“How is it?” Everyone turns and looks at that Doctor.
The Doctor was shocked and did not say a word. He passed the x-ray to Director Wu.
“This……”
Director Wu sensed something was off from that Doctor’s eye. He looked at the x-ray, and beads of sweat started forming on his forehead!
Normal!
The ribs are all normal!
Multiple fractures?! There isn’t even a hairline crack! It’s more normal than normal people. There are no injuries at all!
Why is this happening?
Director Wu was stunned for a moment. “Check again! Use another machine!”
Dong Xuebing did not say anything or stop them. He just stood there and watched.
Lawyer Hu collected the x-ray and kept them in his briefcase.
Xue Xiaoliang was re-examined again. This time, Director Wu and Xue Qingrong stood by the machine to ensure the checks.
Normal!
The results showed Xue Xiaoliang is normal again!
Director Wu started to sweat profusely. He knows he is in trouble and quickly gets his men to conduct other tests on Xue Xiaoliang!
Half an hour later, the results are out!
Xue Xiaoliang’s body is in good condition. He does not have fractures, and his pulled muscles have disappeared!
Xue Xiaoliang couldn’t believe his ears when he heard the results. “How is this possible?”
“How did you all conduct the checks? I could feel….” Suddenly, Xue Xiaoliang paused. His chest no longer hurts when he speaks.
The injury result is shown to everyone now.
Everyone took a deep breath. The patient who could not even raise his voice earlier turns out to be healthy?!
The injury report was fabricated!
This is the only possibility!
Xue Qingrong exploded. “Director Wu! I demand an explanation!”
Dong Xuebing finally speaks. “You want an explanation?! Shouldn’t you all give me an explanation first?!”
