Zheng Ren could not force this kind of thing.
Zheng Ren sighed as he handed the hospital admission form to the patient. He wanted to return to the office but was worried that something might happen to the old man. As such, he could only find a wheelchair, inform the nurse, and push him to the counter to pay the hospital deposit.
“Chief Doctor Zheng, you’re such a nice person,” the old man said.
“Old man, my name is Zheng Ren. I’m the emergency department’s chief resident. The other doctors call me Chief Zheng,” Zheng Ren explained patiently.
“Oh, I see.” The old man continued, “Nowadays, there aren’t many doctors like you.”
“I don’t think so,” Zheng Ren said. “Most doctors are similar to me, old man.”
Zheng Ren wanted to ask the old man where his family was. Judging from his expression and tone beforehand, he did not look like a widower or a lonely old man.
However, when the words were about to spill from his mouth, Zheng Ren swallowed them back.
The issue of the signature needed for surgery would be difficult to deal with in this situation. He needed to find the medical office to solve this problem.
If it was not absolutely necessary, no clinician would be willing to deal with a situation like this at the medical office.
However, the emergency department and the ICU were the two departments that dealt with the medical office the most. Zheng Ren wanted to avoid them, but he could not.
The two of them chatted and paid for the admission fee. Zheng Ren then pushed the old man back to the ward.
When they reached the ward, everyone who went out to eat lunch had already returned.
Su Yun saw Zheng Ren pushing a patient back. The patient did not seem to be in a hurry, so he tossed a casual remark at him, “Boss, did you help an old man cross the road?”
“It’s a new patient,” Zheng Ren said. “Is there anyone who can help take the patient to the wards?”
“Yang Lei, the boss is looking for you,” Su Yun said casually.
This guy seemed to be careless but nothing could be hidden from him. Zheng Ren smiled and handed the patient to Yang Lei. He said, “The patient has just eaten. In five hours, he should be able to go through the surgery.”
Yang Lei nodded and pushed the patient to the ward.
Zheng Ren said, “Su Yun, you and Yang Lei will do the surgery later.”
“Boss, are you really not going to participate in the gallbladder surgery now?” Su Yun asked.
“Shouldn’t your presence there be more than enough?” Zheng Ren said the truth but somehow, it did not make Su Yun happy to hear it.
However, he did not say anything. He moved closer to Zheng Ren’s ear and whispered, “Boss, the girl who thought she was pregnant seems to have recovered.”
“Oh?” Zheng Ren had not gone back to see her. When he saw Su Yun’s expression, he guessed that he had gone to take a look. He then asked, “Is she not nauseous or vomiting?”
“Yes, she has recovered. She said that you’re so good in bed, so her abortion didn’t hurt at all.” Su Yun blinked, practically grinning. “Boss, you’re amazing. Who else would be better at performing a painless abortion…”
“Don’t be ridiculous,” Zheng Ren reprimanded him.
It was already late and the day had not been easy either.
The emergency department’s daily routine and the slow-motion surgery had already made Zheng Ren feel that he was very busy.
Fortunately for him, Su Yun was there. What he had said earlier about him being reliable was the truth.
Zheng Ren turned around and sat in a daze on the chair. He was thinking about Crown Jewel’s ultimate mission.
There were a few more patients at the Secondary Hospital. This was a good thing. The mission’s progress bar could still be progressed. He did not know how the patients Gao Shaojie had taken in were doing or if they could be done on the same day as the second-stage surgery.
If they could, then they would not have to travel to the Provincial Capital so often.
Just as he was thinking about this, Zheng Ren heard a loud ‘clang’. The office door was kicked against the wall.
Zheng Ren frowned and looked up toward the sound.
A middle-aged man around his thirties to forties glared at Chang Yue who was sitting at the door and shouted, “Who told you to admit my father into the hospital?”
Chang Yue was stunned. Seeing the fierce look on the man’s face, she was a little afraid.
However, before she could say or do anything, a black shadow nimbly appeared in front of her, blocking her from sight.
“Who are you!” Su Yun shouted.
“Why do you care who I am!” The middle-aged man pointed at Su Yun and scolded him, “You little bastard, get out of my way! If you continue to be an eyesore, I’ll kill you!”
“Come on then!” Su Yun took a step forward, almost face to face with the middle-aged man. “I’d like to see you try.”
Zheng Ren immediately went to separate the two of them. If they were to fight… Zheng Ren was not worried that Su Yun would be at a disadvantage. This fellow was very skilled.
He was worried that if Su Yun touched the person, the middle-aged man would probably be lying on the ground for the entire day.
He did not even need to bother.
“Are you Xu Guangcai’s family member?” Zheng Ren asked.
“Who are you?”
“I’m in charge here. Let me tell you, if you cause trouble in public, I’ll be forced to call the cops,” Zheng Ren said seriously.
“Oh, come and detain me then!” The middle-aged man tried to egg him on as he looked at Zheng Ren provocatively.
“I’m not trying to cause trouble.” Zheng Ren was very patient. He used his shoulder to block half of Su Yun’s body. He was afraid that Su Yun would get hot-blooded and cause trouble.
There had been enough trouble recently. He did not have time to deal with this scoundrel.
“Is Xu Guangcai your father?” Zheng Ren asked in a deep voice.
“Yes, why did you admit my father into the hospital?” the middle-aged man asked bossily.
Zheng Ren guessed something was wrong from the old man’s expressions and actions previously, further enforced by how the young man was acting now.
“I did. If you are going to bring the old man back, you can,” Zheng Ren said. “But when I asked, the old man said that he has no relatives.”
“Who said that?! I’m his son!” the middle-aged man said sternly. “F*ck, does he think he has enough money to be admitted into a hospital even in such a small town? He went to Sea City to be hospitalized. It costs a thousand and eight hundred yuan a day to be admitted here. You guys must be practically rolling in cash.”
Zheng Ren gave Su Yun a look as he took a step forward and said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the patient. If the patient doesn’t want to go back, I’ll call the police.”
“I’m taking my father home. What right do you have to call the police!”
“If the patient agrees, I don’t have any objections. If you saw a robbery on the road, would you just stand by and do nothing? If I don’t call the police then somebody else will,” Zheng Ren nagged. He tried to distract him while squeezing the man out of the office.
There were a few girls inside. If they continued shouting, Zheng Ren was afraid that they would be afraid.
However, the middle-aged man did not even want to take a step forward to see the patient.
Zheng Ren felt helpless. He could sort of understand the man’s personality.
The man hoped that the hospital would just discharge him without a fight. This person would tell the patient that the hospital would not treat him. Moreover, after returning home, he would probably tell everyone else what had happened.
Even if Zheng Ren was not going to discharge him, he would still say the same thing when he returned home.
This man seemed like the kind of person who was good at twisting stories around.
None of them present had any good ideas on how to remedy this situation. Once this kind of thing happened, they could forget about basking in the sun and reading books in the afternoon.
Zheng Ren was also helpless.
While they were in a stalemate, Yang Lei pushed the patient’s wheelchair over.
After hearing a few words, Yang Lei said curiously, “Chief Zheng, the patient said that he didn’t have any relatives. Those who were close to him are all dead. He even said that there was a fire in his house and they all burned to death, dying horribly.”
