“Emergency, Director! Someone’s broken into the intensive care unit!”
A young nurse rushed to the conference room door in a panic, causing the director and others in the meeting to pale instantly.
“What? Outrageous! This is a hospital! How can someone just barge in and cause chaos?”
“Come on, let’s go see!”
The director slammed the table, and a dozen people followed him out in a flurry.
Led by the nurse, the director and his entourage soon arrived at the door of the breached ward.
“This… isn’t this the room of Su Hong, the Su family patriarch who was just admitted? He’s a big shot we can’t afford to offend! What have you lot done?”
The director glanced at the ICU door’s plaque and was dumbfounded.
About half an hour earlier, Su Hong, the Su family patriarch, had been rushed to the hospital with a severe head injury.
This was a private hospital, and the biggest difference from public ones was clear.
If you wanted better treatment here, you had to pay a premium.
When the director heard the news, his first thought was, of course, to save the patient, but another idea also crossed his mind.
He saw an opportunity to extort a hefty sum from Su Hong.
After all, Su Hong was the unrivalled jade tycoon of the capital, a man who lived cautiously.
Wealthy families like his usually had private doctors and placed great emphasis on health and wellness in their daily lives.
For someone like him to end up as a patient in Ren’ai Elite Private Hospital was a once-in-a-century chance.
If the director didn’t seize this opportunity to fleece Su Hong, it would be like letting a cooked duck fly out of his grasp!
So, he had promptly arranged for Su Hong to be placed in the ICU, then ordered a full-body examination. The meeting in the conference room wasn’t about finding the best treatment plan, but the most expensive one!
Now, seeing the ICU breached, the director was beside himself with worry.
The ICU cost a hundred thousand yuan a day, and that was just the start.
The unit was strictly off-limits to outsiders. If someone had barged in, any bacteria they carried could cause an infection, with uncontrollable consequences!
“What are you standing around for? Get in there and throw that person out!”
The director barked again, and two security guards, who had rushed over, nodded repeatedly and charged inside.
But the moment they entered the ward, they were stunned to find two silver needles pressed against their throats.
“Want to live? Stand against the wall and don’t move!”
The icy voice left the guards no room for hesitation. They quickly shuffled to the wall and lined up.
The director, watching from outside, saw everything clearly. The scene felt oddly familiar, but he couldn’t quite place it.
When he shifted his angle and finally saw the face of the man standing by Su Hong’s bedside, he froze.
“It’s… it’s him!”
The director’s heart skipped a beat, and he nearly collapsed, only saved by the doctors and nurses catching him.
“Director, are you alright? What’s going on? Who is this guy? If it’s serious, I’ll call the police right now!”
