Chapter 150: Unexpected Discovery
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Luo Chen pondered for a moment. The elevator had arrived, but he did not enter. Instead, he waited quietly.
As expected, Director Liu quickly came out of Wang Meng’s ward. The anxiety on his face did not seem fake.
He did not notice Luo Chen beside the elevator and walked quickly to Zhao Gang.
“I’m really sorry. The experts from the provincial capital will only arrive in the afternoon. They were on the plane this morning, but the plane was delayed because of the weather…”
Director Liu explained to Zhao Gang, but it was obvious that his words were useless.
Zhao Gang’s expression only became even uglier.
Although the woman had just stopped crying when Director Liu arrived, her eyes were still red.
Although she looked to be almost 40 years old, there was still a trace of her youthful appearance in her eyes which were filled with charm.
It was obvious that she had grown up in a pampered environment.
“What should we do… Dad can’t hold on any longer… It was agreed to have them arrive this morning, but now it’s suddenly changed to the afternoon…”
The woman held Zhao Gang’s arm and pursed her lips as if she did not want to cry in front of Director Liu.
“It’s really unfortunate. We’re also very anxious…”
Director Liu sighed to himself.
Zhao Gang’s father-in-law was lying in the ward. He was also the patient Director Liu wanted Luo Chen to treat.
That Old Master had been hospitalized since half a year ago and had never woken up. However, his vital signs were especially stable. All the checkups had been done last night, but they did not find any clues.
He was in good health, but he just could not wake up.
Director Liu had been a doctor for most of his life, but he had never seen such a tricky case.
As a result, the entire hospital was helpless.
In the end, since last night, the Old Master’s vital signs had been constantly weakening. When it was almost dawn, he had already been equipped with a ventilator.
At this rate, he might not even make it through the night…
Of course, he could not tell Zhao Gang this. He could only slowly think of a way in the hospital.
Zhao Gang was the biggest investor of the hospital. If he offended the God of Fortune, Director Liu would probably be dismissed by the shareholders.
Although doctors were relatively less utilitarian in their profession, there were times when they had to abide by some unspoken rules.
“This… We’ll think of another way. Old Master will definitely recover.”
Director Liu thought about it and did not have any reliable suggestions. Hence, he could only say dryly.
“You said that he could recover half a year ago, but now, you still don’t have any treatment plans and can only barely maintain his vitals. Is this all you can do?!”
Zhao Gang was distraught. He put away his cell phone and questioned sternly.
As someone who had been in a high position for a long time, his face darkened. Ordinary people could not withstand that kind of deterrence.
As a result, Director Liu could only squeeze out an awkward smile. For a moment, he did not know how to respond.
“Maybe I can give it a try?”
At this moment, a voice sounded. Director Liu immediately turned around. When he saw Luo Chen walking over, his slightly turbid eyes suddenly burst with an extraordinary light!
“And you are?”
When Zhao Gang saw Luo Chen, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes.
He felt that this young man looked a little familiar, but he really could not remember where he had seen him before.
Moreover, he could tell at a glance that the young man was wearing high-end clothes. Coupled with the strong confidence he displayed, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Relying on the sharpness of a businessman, Zhao Gang’s attitude towards Luo Chen was quite friendly.
“I’m the vice president of the Luo Corporation.”
Luo Chen smiled and handed him another business card.
Zhao Gang took the business card and looked at it. Realization dawned on him and he quickly shook Luo Chen’s hand.
“What a coincidence. I didn’t expect to see you here, but I have other things to deal with now. How about we sit down and have a cup of tea when we have time in the future?”
To show his respect, Zhao Gang carefully put the business card into his breast pocket before speaking to Luo Chen.
“It’s fine. I’ve already heard about your Old Master. Coincidentally, I’m free later. Why don’t you let me take a look at his situation?”
Luo Chen said in a negotiating tone. At the same time, he tilted his head to look at the situation in the ward.
Because the patient’s condition was not optimistic, the observation window on the door of the ward was open, allowing one to see the situation inside through the glass.
The ward was filled with all kinds of advanced equipment which Luo Chen could not tell what they were used for.
On the only bed was an old man with white hair and beard.
The old man seemed to be in a very bad state. His face was faintly green, and his body had shriveled up without limit.
If Luo Chen’s eyesight was not good enough to see the slight rise and fall of the old man’s chest, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a corpse lying there.
“Old Master’s condition is really not good, so I won’t accept your visit. Thank you for your kindness.”
A trace of impatience flashed across Zhao Gang’s eyes, but his good upbringing and Luo Chen’s identity allowed him to retain some basic restraint.
From Zhao Gang’s point of view, Luo Chen’s actions were just a show of goodwill. Luo Chen probably wanted to use this opportunity to close the distance between them.
Because he was skeptical of the Jiang City Chamber of Commerce’s proposal, Zhao Gang did not go to the few meetings.
In fact, under such circumstances, not attending the meeting would be a rejection.
Zhao Gang knew this in his heart, and Luo Chen knew it even better.
If it was any other time, Zhao Gang would actually be interested in chatting with the head of the Chamber of Commerce.
Unfortunately, the timing was not right. His father-in-law was lying in the ward, in danger while all the doctors gave a negative outlook.
No matter how big the business was, he was not in the mood to discuss it.
“I’ll just go in and take a look.”
As Luo Chen spoke, his gaze was locked on the ward.
He kept feeling that the Old Master’s physical condition was a little strange. It was fine if his face turned green, but the pale skin and hideous blood vessels on his exposed arm formed a strong contrast.
It looked a little similar to being poisoned.
However, because he did not know the exact situation of this Old Master’s past, he could only confirm if he had been poisoned after taking his pulse.
“There’s really no need. Please go back.”
Zhao Gang’s face stiffened. Thinking that Luo Chen did not understand the hidden meaning behind his words, he immediately emphasized.
The woman beside him did not look too good either. She stared at Luo Chen with hostility.
“Perhaps you’ve misunderstood. I mean, I want to go in and take a look at the Old Master’s condition. If it’s within my ability, I want to try and see if I can treat him.”
Luo Chen realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere and quickly added..
