Chapter 38 They Will Come Back and Beg Me

“You monster! Why did you inject my daughter with sedatives? I kill you!” Mrs Zeng shouted. Then she looked at Mr Zhang, vice president of the hospital, and shouted: “And you! If you don’t save my daughter, I will sue your hospital!” She had obviously lost her marbles, and luckily, her husband pulled her aside before she did anything crazier. He said impatiently: “Could you just shut up! Our daughter is still alive, isn’t she? Can you help by screaming like a mad woman?” When the old people in Zeng Family heard the news, they arrived in an instant. “Mr Zhang, does my Lingling still have any hope?” Yaoguo Zeng asked. He is Yuehua Zeng’s father, and Yiyi and Lingling’s grandfather. He is a dignified old man. Obviously he and Mr Zhang were acquaintances and they were very polite with each other, not like Mrs Zeng, who was hysterical. Many people in Zeng Family were actually not happy with the fact that the oldest son of the family got married with a woman who is so unreasonable, and who sometimes brings shame to such a grand family. They couldn’t get their head round why would she threaten to sue the hospital. Why would she even think such a big hospital can be threatened by her? After all, the kid didn’t get the injection in the hospital. The only thing she could do was to have Wen Yu’s work permit revoked or even sue him. But Mr Zhang is not a petty person. He shook his head sorrowfully and said: “I’m afraid we can’t save your daughter even we use our best medical team. Her organs, as I said, are failing and there is nothing we can do to stop it. But if you can find the person who gave her the acupuncture treatment earlier, and ask him to repeat the treatment, I think there is a chance that her organs can be revived.” “It was the injection of sedatives that lead to your daughter’s health’s deterioration. Without that injection, I think your daughter should be fully recovered by now, thanks to the acupuncture treatment.” What he said sent a chill down Wen Yu’ s spine. He continued: “Many people nowadays disapprove of traditional Chinese medicine. But I firmly believe that we still have some great Chinese doctors who have inherited our ancestors’ wisdom and who can cure patients with a simple needle. Sometimes a simple acupuncture treatment can produce the effects of living in the hospital for ten days. I’m a doctor, and I support all means of treatment as long as it works. What he said was very fair. It is true that Chinese medicine has declined, but to deny all doctors who use Chinese medicine is unacceptable. “So who did the acupuncture for her? Is it someone in the Chinese Medicine Association? Is it Feng Miao, or Huasheng Cui, who are both famous Chinese doctors?” Mr Zhang was very curious. “It’s not easy to get their treatment. Sometimes they don’t offer their help even though you are willing to pay them a lot.” “Eh...” Yuehua and his wife looked at each other awkwardly. “To be honest with you, two people just gave her a acupuncture treatment on the street. It was an old man and a young man. We thought they were frauds.” Yuehua laughed dryly. “Frauds? They did a perfect acupuncture treatment. How can they be frauds? And why would they choose to cheat money when they have mastered this skill?” Mr Zhang said. Yuehua was shocked. He asked: “So you are saying we were wrong. And these two people are real masters?” “I don’t know whether they are masters or not, but I am sure I can not find another person who is as skilled as them in Yunhai City. Why didn’t I know we have such amazing people in this city.” Mr Zhang was confused. He knew all the famous Chinese doctors in Yunhai City, but he knew none of them could do such an amazing job. Only a nationally famous doctor could reach such a level of sophistication. Yuehua and his wife looked at each other again and their face darkened. “What is it?” Yaoguo asked. “Father, I.....” “What happened? Just say it!” Yuehua then told him what just happened on the street. Then, Yaoguo slapped him fiercely. “You damn fool! If Lingling dies, I’ll destroy you!” Yuehua was silent. He realized he did something stupid. Who could have thought these two people are real masters? But how could he go back to them and ask for their help after treating them so badly? “What are you waiting for? Go and invite the masters here! If they don’t come because of your offence, you shall never walk into the family again!” Yaoguo was furious. He couldn’t believe Lingling’s parents spoiled such a good chance. Then Yaoguo was about to go find them, and Yuehua and his wife followed him. “Maybe, we can ask Yiyi to get them. They are all young people and they understand each other. Besides, our Yiyi is so beautiful...” Mrs Zeng said quietly. “Nonsense! It is your fault and you should deal with it yourself. I warn you not to bring it up in front of Yiyi, or I’ll kick you out of the family.” Yaoguo said. “You are the worst parents I know.” They kept quiet. In Zeng Family, Yaoguo is the most powerful person, and every member has full respect for him. Half an hour had went by since Victor was arrested. The police station called the director of Health Department, who is Yiyi’s uncle, to deal with this matter. Because Health Department knows this kind of incident better. “You don’t have work permits, and you are found guilt of fraud, and the needle you used was not assessed. Where is the needle? We’ll have to confiscate it. And we need to work with the police station to solve the rest problems of yous.” The director of Health Department said fiercely. Guigu was silent. But Victor answered him: “You can’t take his needle because he saved so many people’s lives with it. We were just trying to help that little girl and we did it. If you are here solely out of the intention to disgust us because that woman hates us for what we said, you can stop here because they will come back to us and beg for help. It’s never a good idea to burn your bridge.” Victor then looked at the director coldly. He is Yiyi’s uncle, and obviously he was there because of Yiyi’s mother. He is just a director of Heath Department, and why would he involve himself in this matter?
