Chapter 93: Obstruction at Every Turn

When the dean saw that it was Gu Ci, his face darkened at once. “What are you doing here?”

He still remembered that this little girl had been the one to bring up the issue of improper use.

It could be said that everything he had suffered these past few days was because of this damned girl.

“This place does not welcome you. Get out now!”

The dean pointed toward the door without the slightest politeness. “If you do not leave, then do not blame me for calling security!”

If he did not currently have the time to deal with this little brat, he would never have let her walk away so easily!

“The dean opens his mouth and tells my daughter to get out at once. Such a vicious temper. What is it, do you want security to throw me out too?”

Gu Changrong emerged from behind Gu Ci and stepped into the dean’s office.

Last time, when everything was destroyed, he had thought the dean had already learned repentance.

He had never imagined that upon seeing him again, the dean would be this ferocious, ordering his precious A Ci to get out of here!

Gu Changrong was instantly enraged.

He even overlooked the fact that the dean, who should clearly not have been unharmed, was now standing in the hospital.

The manager did not understand what was going on.

On the day of the incident, he had been out making purchases and had not been present.

Naturally, he did not know that the young woman before him was the one who had exposed the dean’s illegal use of the extraction agent.

But that did not stop him from guessing who the middle-aged man behind Gu Ci was.

His expression changed slightly. “This must be... Doctor Gu?”

Shouldn’t that old man with the Gu surname be in Meng Yueling’s ward at this very moment, treating her?

Why had he appeared in the dean’s office so quickly?

Clearly, the dean had thought of this as well.

Yet when facing Doctor Gu, he could only suppress his anger and force a smile. “Of course not, Doctor Gu. I only misspoke just now, that was all. I hope you will not take it to heart.”

Seeing Gu Changrong’s expression ease, he cautiously probed, “So, Doctor Gu is her father?”

“That’s right!”

Although the dean was forcing down his temper, his face still turned even more unpleasant than before.

So that meant they had deliberately joined forces against him last time?

He had said it before: why would the famed orthopedic master, who always only took on difficult and unusual cases, suddenly come to Songdu to treat a simple fracture that only needed time to heal?

He must have already learned from some source that he was developing this thing, and out of jealousy came here to sabotage him on purpose!

And to call it improper use?

It was nothing more than Doctor Gu deliberately blocking him, refusing to let him succeed in creating that epoch-making achievement he had previously failed to produce!

At the thought of this, the dean felt that the order he had just given was simply giving Gu Changrong a bargain.

In truth, how could Gu Changrong have imagined that merely saying Gu Ci was his daughter in order to back her up would cause the dean to spin the entire matter into a conspiracy theory?

One can only say that people measure others by the contents of their own hearts.

When they speculate about what others have done, it is often what they themselves would do in that situation.

Thus, a benevolent person sees a benevolent world.

And in the eyes of one full of malice...

All beings are evil.

The whole world is filled with monsters, ghosts, snakes, and spirits.

The fury, shock, and scheming in his eyes shifted several times before finally sinking completely into the depths of his gaze, where he began playing coy with Gu Changrong.

“Why has Doctor Gu come over already? I wonder how that patient is doing now?”

Just then, the investigators from the Research Institute hurried over as well.

Upon seeing Gu Changrong, he immediately asked, “You must be Doctor Gu. How is that patient doing now?”

Seeing this, the manager quickly said, “How could there be any mistake? With Doctor Gu taking action, that patient will surely recover very soon. So, Doctor Gu, when do you plan to examine the patient?”

Gu Changrong did not change expression. “I have already checked the situation over there. It can wait a little longer. Right now, the most important thing is to find out whether there are any other formulations still circulating outside.”

If there are, they must immediately contact the patients and tell them not to use them.

Moreover, they would need to send people at once to retrieve the formulations and destroy them.

This time, without waiting for the dean to respond, the manager had already taken over with a fake smile.

“Doctor Gu, what are you saying? Of course the patient is the top priority now. Could it be that Doctor Gu does not care about the patient’s safety?”

“And besides, those formulations were destroyed right in front of all of you last time. Doctor Gu and that other person both personally counted them, did you not? And now you come asking us for formulations of all things?”

“Although we did indeed make a small mistake before because we did not properly understand the matter, that does not mean every fault can be pinned on us, does it?”

The dean sat at the back, sipping tea with the composure of one who had seen through the world, and mildly chided, “Hey, Cheng Ming, mind your manners when speaking to Doctor Gu.”

“I am truly sorry, Doctor Gu. This junior was simply too indignant and spoke out of turn for a moment,” the manager apologized, though there was not the slightest hint of apology in his tone.

What there was instead was...

Provocation.

Arrogance.

And contempt.

Gu Changrong was instantly infuriated.

Thinking of what mattered most right now, he hardened his face and ignored the manager’s words entirely.

“I need to recalculate the quantity of the special medicine immediately. Cooperate and let me into your laboratory!”

The medical laboratory of Holy Heart Hospital was located on the same floor as the dean’s office, and entry required the dean’s password and iris print.

Otherwise, Gu Changrong would not have wasted a single word here with them.

If there were still people outside using this special medicine, and the extraction agent within had mutated into something else... then the consequences would be unimaginable.

For example, an infectious virus...

Yet the investigator frowned and said formally, “Doctor Gu, I think Manager Cheng has a point. The urgent matter now is to get that patient better. As for everything else, it can entirely wait until after this matter is resolved.”

With that, the manager and the dean became even less willing to cooperate.

And moreover... relying on the fact that the investigator was clearly more focused on the patient’s condition, they became brazenly unafraid.

The manager was lounging carelessly. “Doctor Gu already checked last time. It can’t be that every time something happens, you come to inspect it all over again, can it?”

The dean also lifted his eyelids. “Doctor Gu, it is not that I do not want to cooperate. It is simply that our laboratory contains many secrets of our hospital. For Doctor Gu to want to enter for no reason is truly inappropriate...”

“If Doctor Gu can produce a search warrant, then naturally we will cooperate with full effort!”

Gu Changrong was nearly angered into laughter. He looked to the investigator and said earnestly, “This matter is of great importance. You should have brought a search warrant when you came, correct? Can you take it out? I need to go into their laboratory and count everything immediately.”

The investigator shook his head. “Doctor Gu, although I did bring a search warrant, I think you have misunderstood the key issue. The most important thing right now should be to treat that patient, not to carry out a search.”
