Chapter 1680 - The Beginning

The Qin private hospital had been established for decades before being developed to its current stage. It was already able to occupy half of the hospital system of the Huaxia Empire. Naturally, it was rich and powerful.

Their legal team supported them at any time and was ready to fight against ordinary citizens.

Big organizations had plenty of time and money to waste. How could ordinary people have so much time and money?

Therefore, after consulting with lawyers, a portion of them chose the form of a class action lawsuit to compete with big corporations.

Wen Shouyi was not afraid of a lawsuit.

Not only did she come from a top law school in the United States and had the qualifications to be a lawyer, she also had the backing of the entire Qin’s private hospital group, so there was no need to worry.

Moreover, the class action lawsuit was very suitable to be broken down one by one. She was not worried at all.

What she was more worried about was the anger and pressure from General He’s side.

This was the most troublesome part.

She had lived in the He family for a few years, so she knew how much General He valued his son, He Zhichu.

Her expression was uncertain as she sat quietly in the meeting room.

The sound of the hospital management’s discussion echoed in her ears, but in her mind, she was thinking about how to appease General He’s anger.

She sighed softly. She could only beg Aunt Qin to come forward and save Zhichu.

Looking at these people again, Shouyi narrowed her eyes.

They had to give He Chengjian an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, if he got angry, they would stand as much chance against him as an egg against a stone.

During these years, although Qin Yaoguang had saved Zhichu’s life, Shouyi did not return the favor. Instead, she became even more obedient to Chengjian. She never did anything to harm the the He family. Moreover, Yaoguang’s medical skills were indeed brilliant, and the reputation of the Qin private hospital had been built up by the doctors in the hospital treating patients and saving people.

Chengjian saw that they were steadfast in running the hospital and could provide more medical resources for society, so he tacitly allowed them to use his influence to develop and expand in Huaxia.

However, ever since Gu Nianzhi returned, the situation had changed...

A trace of viciousness flashed in Shouyi’s eyes and she said coldly, “It’s no use arguing. Tell me clearly, where did the infrasound emission source come from in the hospital?!”

The meeting room looked at each other in dismay. After a moment of silence, they began to talk again. “How do we know?”

“We’re just a subordinate hospital. Sometimes, the headquarters will transfer equipment and manpower here. It’s none of our business!”

“Exactly! Who knows where these two infrasound sources came from?”

Shouyi was slightly sullen. She slapped the table with her hand. “Don’t try to fool me just because I’m young. I want to transfer the surveillance cameras from that CT room. You said the surveillance cameras were broken, but now you’re telling me you don’t know where the infrasound source in the CT room came from?”

The elderly department director in the meeting room listened for a while, he said hesitantly, “...Actually, two days ago, I was on night duty. When I went out for a walk in the middle of the night, I saw a few people pulling a few big boxes out of the surgery building over there and entering the CT room of this building. I wanted to ask them what they were doing, but seeing that they had a key card to enter and exit the building, I thought that they were on the same side, so I didn’t say anything.”

“Oh?” Shouyi’s heart tightened, and she quickly said, “Is there a surveillance camera at the entrance of this building? Bring it here for me to take a look.”

She wanted to bring up the surveillance camera, but her secretary who left to do so promptly came back with an uneasy expression. “The surveillance camera at the entrance of the CT room building is also broken.”

Shouyi was speechless.

“What is the IT department doing in the hospital?! The surveillance camera is just for show, right?!” Shouyi heaved a sigh and her temper flared up even more. She said harshly, “I don’t care if you have surveillance cameras or not! Someone has to take responsibility for this! If we can’t find out who did it, the person in charge has to take responsibility!”

Nianzhi had said that she wanted to find a “Temporary worker” to take the blame. Shouyi was disgusted at the thought of it.

She wanted to show Nianzhi that she was not the kind of incompetent leader who would find a temporary worker to take the blame.

Hearing that the person-in-charge had to take responsibility, the meeting room was in an uproar.

This time, the hospital’s management had joined forces to oppose Shouyi. They were all against taking responsibility.

“If you don’t take responsibility, who will?” Shouyi sneered. “The group has spent so much money to hire you, and you can’t even do basic management well. How can you have the face to oppose it? I’m telling you, since I can’t find out who did it today, I can only hand you people in charge over.”

At this time, a person pointed at the old department director and said, “When he was on night duty, he saw someone pulling the equipment, but he didn’t stop that person or ask any questions. I think it’s his negligence!”

“Yes, yes, yes! It’s him! It’s him! Maybe he stole from the inside and conspired with others!”

After finding a scapegoat, everyone immediately shared a common enemy and pushed the honest man out to take the blame.

The old department director was on the verge of tears, but how could he win over so many people by himself? He was quickly pressured by everyone to take responsibility.

Shouyi curled the corners of her lips and stood up. She said to the management team in the meeting room, who were chattering non-stop, “Keep an eye on him. I’m going to see General He.”

The meeting room came down all of a sudden.

The people sitting there were all members of the upper-middle-level management staff of this private hospital.

However, in the entire Qin Corporation, they were not ranked in the hierarchy. They could not fawn on people like Chengjian.

Now, seeing that Shouyi could speak to Chengjian directly, they could not help but feel a deep respect for her.

Previously, they had thought that Shouyi had relied on fawning on Qin Yaoguang to become the executive director. They were somewhat unconvinced. Now, they looked at Shouyi in a different light.

Shouyi’s gaze swept across the faces of these people, and she smiled almost imperceptibly.

She had always known how to control people’s hearts with ease.

Coming out of the meeting room, Shouyi brought her secretary and bodyguards to the elevator.

She wanted to see how Chengjian was doing and see if there was anything that could be salvaged.

At worst, she would bring Aunt Qin out and say that she could help wake Zhichu up.

Shouyi knew very well that although Zhichu’s condition looked serious, it was actually not fatal.

She was just a little regretful.

Zhichu was just a little bit away from being hers..

When they arrived at the elevator, the elevator door opened just in time. Chengjian’s personal secretary walked out.

He brought a few guards with him and held an arrest warrant in his hand.

When he saw Shouyi, his hand trembled and he displayed the arrest warrant, remarking coldly, “Director Wen, shouldn’t you explain why this hospital has a secret room? Why is there a source of infrasound in the secret room? Why did you attack Major General He with an infrasound weapon?!”

Shouyi took a step back and replied calmly, “We were just in a meeting. There is indeed a loophole in the hospital’s management system. I don’t know why there is a source of infrasound in the hospital. However, I have already asked the relevant person-in-charge of this hospital to take full responsibility.”

“Really? Then we won’t stand on ceremony. He has to come with us.” Chengjian’s personal secretary gave Shouyi a meaningful glance. “You are really swift and decisive. You found the person who took responsibility very quickly.”

“The hospital is under the management system of the people-in-charge. Everyone has their own scope of management. If something happens within his scope of management, of course he has to take responsibility,” Shouyi said in a deep voice and stepped aside.

Chengjian’s personal secretary followed Shouyi back to the meeting room.

“It’s him. If you have any questions, you can ask him.” Shouyi pointed at the person they had collectively pushed out to take the blame.

When that person saw a group of soldiers rushing in like wolves and tigers, his vision went black and he was so scared that he fainted on the spot.

“Take him away.” Chengjian’s personal secretary waved his hand. At the same time, he turned around and said to Shouyi, “Director Wen, this is just the beginning.”

Chengjian’s personal secretary left with his team. Shouyi looked at their backs and thought to herself that she had to quickly go and see Aunt Qin and Old Master Qin.

..

When they arrived at the hospital gate, they were immediately stopped by armed soldiers.

Shouyi’s personal secretary stepped forward and quietly handed a bank card to the soldier. She said softly, “This is the Executive Director of our General Hospital. We are in a hurry to return to the headquarters for a meeting. May I ask if you can let us go out first?”

The soldier crossed his arms, rejecting the bank card that the secretary had handed over. With a click, he loaded the rifle in his arms. Without saying a word, he tapped the butt of the rifle on a sign beside him.

Only then did Shouyi’s secretary see the sign at the door: [ Military Area, kill without permission ].

The secretary was speechless.

“This is our hospital! When did it become a military area!” Shouyi’s secretary was so anxious that her face grew red and her neck swelled. She wanted to shout.

Shouyi frowned and said, “You’ve already found the thing and caught the person responsible. Why do you still want to lock down our hospital?”

The soldier looked ahead with his gun in his hand, completely ignoring her.

His duty was to stand guard, not to explain to others.

The troops Chengjian brought this time were his direct subordinates, the elite of the elite, and they were only accountable to him.

Each of them was colder than he was, and they never talked to irrelevant people.

They drew their guns faster than they spoke.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a convoy drove over.

Shouyi glanced at it and saw that they were all carrying military plates. The one in the middle was Chengjian’s bulletproof car. She recognized it.

The convoy slowly stopped in front of the gate.

A soldier pushed open the car door and ran to the soldier on guard. he shouted, “The chief has instructed that this hospital will be taken over by the police. Retreat!”

There was a full squad of soldiers on guard. After they finished handing over to the police, they left in formation and got into the military vehicle. They surrounded Chengjian’s convoy and left in a grandiose manner.

From the beginning to the end, Shouyi didn’t have any chance to talk to Chengjian, nor did she have the chance to inquire about Yaoguang’s situation.

Her eyes dimmed, and her expression hardened.

She still had a tough battle to fight, and she couldn’t back down.

Yaoguang and grandfather Qin had been taken away by Chengjian. If she wanted to see them, she needed Chengjian’s special permission.

Shouyi ordered someone to drive to the He residence.

..

Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng sat side by side in Chengjian’s bulletproof car.

Nianzhi was giving Chengjian advice. “General He, now that we know the cause of He’s accident, we can treat him accordingly and save him.”
