If Mr. Ye could rewind the words that flowed out of Wang Yusheng, he would rewind it again and again. What did he mean Mr. Li? Reimburse? The lofty airs of Mr. Ye tried to overpower the cool, smiling doctor. "I'm sorry, I don't think I understand what you mean, Dr. Wang."
"Hm?" Wang Yusheng let go of the hand and blocked Mr. Ye's path to the door as he stepped back. "Mr. Li's son participated in one of your projects due to interest. That's why when the gas leak explosion happened, Mr. Li had to rush to Cherry Med himself. There were a lot of people implicated and rescued. They wouldn't be getting all their treatment in time if no one paid it forward."
"Sigh, it's a good thing none of them died." Wang Yusheng even shook his head as if imagining a chaotic what-if. "Mr. Li decided to stand in since he knew that Sun Corporation is a rather refutable company. Surely, you will be compensating everyone for the damages and fees brought by the accident.
"As for Mr. Ruan..." The doctor glanced at him and showed a bit of a stern expression. "He's been experimented on by one of your people. If the medical team that first responded weren't as skilled as they were, you would be handling a casualty. We can send you the receipts of those doses. I can prove that they existed; I was the one who formulated the medicine to save Mr. Ruan.
"Of course, you didn't see it because Mr. Li had a separate bill from everyone else. Can you handle seeing your son paralyzed on a bed and then a fifteen-million bill, doctor fee still excluded?" Wang Yusheng frowned at the officer. "Please let your boss know that Mr. Li will hear about this. If you think I'm lying..."—the doctor finally showed a victorious smile—"I'll just see you in court then."
Mr. Ye paled. A court case would be the worse. They could handle the case if it was about the gas leak, but Ruan Jin's case was outside that accident. A project subject was turned into a guinea pig by someone who was not included in the project in a study that was not included in the project the subject signed up for. That would be PR hell even if Sun Corporation had a top-notch legal team.
Worse was that if there was indeed a court case… they would go against a team under Mr. Li—the Mr. Li.
The liability officer couldn't fight this alone. He quickly made an excuse of telling his boss about the matters, left his card with Wang Yusheng, and fled from the war zone. He would have been victorious if the doctor was not someone directly working under Mr. Li. Who knew how many trump cards he had under those sleeves? Mr. Ye vanished as quick as he had come.
"I suddenly felt seriously overworked here." Wang Yusheng sighed before turning to the four young men. He then leaned down to pet Ruan Jin in particular. "Who taught this little baby how to fend off a liability officer, hm?"
"..." Ruan Jin only received the petting before starting to feel uncomfortable. There was nothing wrong with the touch; he just felt like this man had been calling him with pet names since they met. Wang Yusheng was even openly calling him 'little baby' right now!
Wang Yusheng already knew Ruan Jin was getting weird about it. He just pulled back his hand and cleared his throat. "As for you three, if you want a hospital bed, I suggest you break a bone somewhere first."
Damn, they actually forgot about it. The three vacated the bed again and bowed to apologize, hiding their laughter as they behaved like kids. Wang Yusheng only shook his head and gave another set of reminders for them. He then went to wake up Yu Mona since she was sleeping in a bad posture.
…
Soft soles from a pair of worn shoes patted against the hard floors of the hospital. Liu Xiaodan had returned to check up on Director Sun since the critical forty-eight hours had passed. It's just that, when he reached to the place, it was already vacated. When he asked one of the nurses, he learned that Director Sun had woken up and was transferred to another room on another floor.
Damn, he shouldn't have left Ruan Jin's floor since the new room was just in another wing.
Liu Xiaodan just decided to walk further into the floor so he could get to the right wing first before riding the elevator down again. It's just that when he walked along the white hallway, he felt incredibly lonely.
Tang Mingming and the others had been hunting down ghosts in the hospital while Guangru was indulging himself in the company of his grandparents.
When he was walking the prison and the facility, he was almost always with at least one ghost. Today, it felt chilly as he began to take in the cold of the air-conditioning.
"Wuwuwu..." An agonizing w.h.i.n.e entered his earshot. When he continued walking, he ran into a man on the benches on the hallway.
Even if the hospital was a non-smoking place, the man was still puffing a thin veil of smoke from his cigarette and from his mouth. His eyes then slid to the side to find Liu Xiaodan walking towards him. He didn't say anything as long as Liu Xiaodan didn't bother him.
"Mister, this hospital is a non-smoking zone. Please be considerate of the patients." Liu Xiaodan walked closer to the man and used an excuse to get close without looking weird. That was because next to the man sat a gray-skinned woman who was wrapping her arms around him. The entity was just a lowly ghost, but they were already strong enough to make the humans sick.
"Are you visiting someone here, kid?" Perhaps he was blind or that Liu Xiaodan actually didn't look so m.a.t.u.r.e. However, Liu Xiaodan didn't mind the impoliteness since he was also being impolite to that woman s.u.c.k.i.n.g vitality from the older man.
"My grandfather's friend is confined here. I am hoping to visit him again today, but he was transferred to a different room. I am just passing by." Liu Xiaodan hummed as he kept his eyes on that woman until he was noticed. The older man was actually wondering why Liu Xiaodan's sight was off.
Bang! Liu Xiaodan was shocked when a shoe flew against his back. He only knew it was a shoe since it had already bounced off the wall after hitting him. When he turned to see if he had to evade another shoe, he saw a woman crying at the door frame. She was holding the other shoe. The reason why she didn't she him was that her eyes were closed while crying.
She then hurled the shoe that Liu Xiaodan evaded, letting it hit the older man instead. "Bastard! Why can't you do anything good?!"
"Why can't you do anything good…?" Several voices echoed, and Liu Xiaodan realized that the couple… was infested by dozens of ghosts.
