“Uh… no, nothing, since there’s an extra bed now, Auntie, you just rest well today, I’ve got some things to handle in my office, so I’ll head off first!”
Dong Tianyi hurriedly made an excuse and left the ward.
“Tch, what a joke, can’t a grown man just admit defeat gracefully? Do you have any idea how much it costs our family to stay in the capital for a day?”
Duanmu Lei started grumbling sarcastically about money again from the side.
This time, his sister Duanmu Qing shot him a glare, then pulled a thick stack of bright red hundred-yuan notes from her purse.
“Here’s about ten thousand, that should cover it! No need to pay me back!”
Who’d have thought that Duanmu Lei, who’d just been fuming, would light up at the sight of money, even more excited than if he’d seen his own mother, he quickly shut up and scurried off to count it.
Meanwhile, Xu Fei had already entered a state of inner vision, manipulating the true energy in his body, under this state, he easily spotted a grayish-white blob of unknown liquid at Auntie’s waist, something impossible to identify clearly.
But no matter what it was, it definitely wasn’t something that should naturally appear in a human body!
So Xu Fei quickly inserted a silver needle into Auntie’s waist, and with his true energy enveloping it, he managed to extract a bit of that grayish-white liquid from her body.
Bringing it to his nose, Xu Fei sniffed, and the instant scent of an anaesthetic clued him into Dong Tianyi’s trick.
“Probably some kind of special painkiller, I’ve seen it in the news before, didn’t expect it’d already been developed?”
Xu Fei muttered to himself, back when he’d just started training under Mo Wentian, he’d taken an interest in medical knowledge.
He recalled reading a foreign report about a medical team making breakthroughs in special painkillers, though at the time, it was still in the clinical trial phase.
Xu Fei hadn’t imagined that in just a few years, this drug would not only be fully developed but also end up in Dong Tianyi’s hands!
“That damn guy, he actually tried to pass off a special painkiller as a cure, is this Dong Tianyi even a doctor? Does he have any medical ethics left?”
Xu Fei felt a surge of anger, he hadn’t expected Dong Tianyi to stoop so low, using such a deceptive method to fake a cure, all for his career and to win Duanmu Qing’s favour.
This approach was nothing more than a temporary fix, not even worthy of being called a stopgap measure!
The patient might seem pain-free for a couple of days, but once discharged and the painkiller wore off, the problem would resurface immediately.
By then, when Duanmu Qing brought her mother back, Dong Tianyi would likely just wash his hands of it!
“Then what I need to do next is wait like a hunter by the tree stump, to stop Dong Tianyi from using his position to inject Auntie with this painkiller again, if he manages to drag this past tomorrow, I won’t have a leg to stand on.”
Xu Fei opened his eyes, only to be startled by Duanmu Qing staring at him intently with a nervous expression.
He quickly lifted his hand from Auntie’s wrist, glad he’d pretended to take her pulse earlier, otherwise anyone seeing him with his eyes closed for so long would’ve gotten suspicious.
“How’s it going, Dr. Xu?”
