This Doctor Is Too Wealthy

It was clear that Qiao Yuncheng was also feeling uncomfortable and annoyed.

But what did that have to do with Du Heng?

Du Heng watched the father and son leave and just smiled faintly.

This interruption had scattered his thoughts, leaving him without a clue. Agitated, Du Heng stood up from his seat and unconsciously walked towards the window.

This time, however, as Du Heng reached the window, his gaze suddenly turned vacant for a moment. Then, after a brief daze, he walked straight out of the office.

When Du Heng went outside the hospital, he saw that the area had returned to its usual state, with only pedestrians walking and cars speeding by.

As for those people he detested, they had vanished without a trace, along with the big signs and the X Display Stands.

Du Heng quickly turned and found the security guard at the entrance, anxiously asking, ”Where are they?”

The security guard knew what Du Heng was asking and said, ”Four police cars just arrived and took them all away.”

Police cars?

Du Heng was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately recalled what his brother-in-law had said yesterday. He hurriedly took out his phone and called him. ”Brother, did you arrange what happened here?”

”Are you talking about Qiao Yuncheng’s matter? HAHAHA, I arranged it.” Wu Shengnan’s brother laughed heartily. ”Qiao Yuncheng just called me and said you accepted his apology. How was his attitude? Acceptable, right?”

”His attitude was excellent, though Qiao Zhenghai’s face took a bit of a beating.” Du Heng chuckled, then quickly changed the subject. ”I’m not asking about that. I’m talking about the people who were holding signs at the hospital entrance yesterday. The security guard at the entrance said those people were taken away by several police cars just now. I just wanted to ask if you arranged it. Please don’t let your friends violate regulations because of this.”

His brother-in-law on the other end of the line sounded surprised after hearing Du Heng’s words. ”No, I didn’t arrange for anyone, and no one told me about it.”

”You didn’t tell anyone else about this?”

”I did. I only mentioned it to your wife, telling her to pay more attention to her husband. You, her husband, were being extorted, and she, as your wife, didn’t make a move. That’s not right.”

Du Heng was stunned. ”You didn’t tell anyone else?”

”No.”

”Alright then.”

Du Heng hung up the phone, puzzled.

No matter how he thought about it, this didn’t seem like something Wu Shengnan would do. First, it didn’t align with Wu Shengnan’s usual way of handling things. Second, when he went home last night, Wu Shengnan hadn’t mentioned it, nor had she said she would help him handle the matter. If Wu Shengnan had really done it, she would definitely have told him; that was their habit, born of mutual respect. So, all things considered, Wu Shengnan hadn’t done this.

If it wasn’t Wu Shengnan or her brother, then the police station was the most likely one involved, as this was their jurisdiction.

At this thought, Du Heng cheered up.

Regardless of who handled it, as long as those flies weren’t buzzing around him anymore and tarnishing the hospital’s reputation, it didn’t matter. It was something to celebrate.

But his happiness lasted less than two minutes before he remembered what had happened yesterday at noon. Those people had been taken away for less than an hour before reappearing at the hospital entrance.

So, if the police station had indeed handled it, it was highly probable that these people would reappear at the hospital entrance later. Especially when he thought of the man named Ren, with his detestable, greedy expression, Du Heng was quite certain they would reappear. Sigh, I still have to come up with a solution myself.

Du Heng composed himself and then silently walked back into the hospital.

However, events took an unexpected turn for Du Heng. The group led by the man named Ren suddenly vanished that afternoon and never reappeared at the entrance of the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital. Later, even when Du Heng and his team managed to contact Fan Bangjun, there was still no news of the man named Ren. It was as if they had given up completely.

He didn’t know whether they had a sudden crisis of conscience or if something else had tied their hands. Regardless, the group’s sudden disappearance was a very welcome and relieving development for Du Heng.

「More than a month drifted by in what felt like the blink of an eye.」

Du Heng threw himself wholeheartedly into the two project teams, with the stroke team’s thesis becoming the absolute priority of his work. Aside from his own thesis, which had undergone final polishing, only Wu Buwei had submitted a paper that was relatively passable. Therefore, Du Heng’s plan to make a significant push for academic KPIs by the end of the year was thoroughly dashed by reality.

There was, however, some good news. The young doctors currently under his wing were almost all outstanding individuals from other hospitals. Their intelligence, knowledge, and comprehension were, to say the least, more than adequate. In the three to four months since the project began, although they hadn’t yet managed to break free from the scope Du Heng had initially defined or develop their own original contributions, they could perfectly mimic his methods within the framework he had established. If not for particularly unusual or complex cases, they could handle them entirely without Du Heng needing to intervene. Of course, it couldn’t be said that everything had been smooth progress during these three or four months; there was still one aspect that left Du Heng very dissatisfied.
