Chapter 226 Sending Buddha to the West
Zhong Lisheng returned to the ward not long after, followed by a number of people. Judging from the attire and sparse hair of some of them, they were probably leaders from the Beijing Central Hospital.
Before Zhong Lisheng could speak, a bald doctor behind him spoke first.
"You're Miss Jiang?" The bald doctor asked, his brows furrowed and his face filled with hostility.
“Yes.” Jiang Chengcheng didn’t pay too much attention to the doctor’s expression. After all, when she was developing the mechanical exoskeleton, she had already imagined this scene.
"Miss Jiang, please don't take offense at my bluntness, but you're using these two dark, unsightly things, claiming they can restore human mobility, without even any experimental data, and you expect us to perform surgery on this patient to put them on? That's absolutely impossible!"
We are a legitimate hospital, not some underground black market! And to this family member, please don't seek treatment from unqualified sources! Trust in the power of science, and trust that we are already doing our best to treat the patient!
I'm putting this out there today: this patient's leg will never recover! This isn't some angry curse; it's a judgment based on my decades of medical experience! If you don't believe me, you can transfer to another hospital, but our hospital will absolutely not perform this surgery!" The bald man's words were resolute and brooked no argument, and he certainly had the confidence to back it up!
Beijing Central Hospital is a top-tier tertiary hospital in China specializing in the surgical treatment and rehabilitation of lower limb paralysis. The medical decisions made by their hospital are beyond the reach of other hospitals in the same industry.
Before Jiang Chengcheng could react to the bald doctor's words, Zhong Liqiao, who was lying on the hospital bed, turned pale.
Perhaps noticing Zhong Liqiao's expression, the bald doctor's tone softened.
"Young lady, your attending physician has told me about your situation, and I understand your feelings of disappointment and disappointment. But you are still young, and there are endless possibilities for your future. Please don't joke with your life." The bald doctor continued to earnestly persuade her.
Zhong Liqiao wasn't ungrateful; she knew the doctor was trying to persuade her. She glanced at Zhong Lisheng and gestured for him to introduce the man.
"Sister, Miss Jiang, these are all hospital leaders, and this is Wu Anshun, the hospital's vice president." There were too many people, and Zhong Lisheng couldn't tell them apart, so he mainly introduced the doctor in the lead.
"Dean Wu, I know you said all this for my own good, but I still want to try my best at your hospital. I want to stand up again, just like you said, I'm still young."
I don't want to spend the rest of my life relying on my parents for basic human functions like eating, drinking, and defecating. I'd rather sleep on the operating table forever than live that way.
"I will definitely have the surgery. I understand that as the hospital director, you have to be responsible to the hospital, but I still want to try. I can promise again and sign a commitment letter that I voluntarily accept the transplant surgery, and that the hospital will have nothing to do with my life or death." As Zhong Liqiao said this, her eyes remained fixed on Wu Anshun, and her tone was full of unwavering stubbornness.
From childhood to adulthood, she endured a lot of pain that most people could not bear in order to be able to dance. Otherwise, she would not have been able to become famous on the international stage at such a young age. But just when she was about to see the peak and was working hard to climb up, everyone told her that she could never go any higher!
The news struck Zhong Liqiao like a bolt from the blue, and it lingered in her ears.
Those who haven't experienced it will never understand this feeling; most people will just think it's melodramatic and advise her that it's better to live a miserable life than to die...
But that was done by burdening her parents, which was a hundred or a thousand times more painful than her dying!
Everyone, including her mother, told her she didn't care, but no one ever asked her if she actually cared...
"…………"
As the vice president of the Beijing Central Hospital, Wu Anshun had seen many patients like this and could understand their feelings. Those who could recover were fine, but most of them who could not recover wished for a quick euthanasia to end their lives. So when faced with Zhong Liqiao's gaze, even someone as used to life and death as him fell silent, unsure of how to continue his persuasion.
To be honest, having worked in this industry for so long, Wu Anshun is probably the one among this group who understands Zhong Liqiao the most. If he weren't the vice president of Beijing Central Hospital, he might have agreed to Zhong Liqiao's request for surgery. But his position doesn't allow him to do so, both for the sake of the hospital and for the sake of human life...
a long time.
"I'm sorry..." Wu Anshun couldn't think of any other answer besides this sentence. Because he didn't dare to meet Zhong Liqiao's pleading eyes, he chose to look away and look at Jiang Chengcheng.
Jiang Chengcheng, meeting Wu Anshun's righteous indignation and glancing at the Zhong siblings' despondent expressions, sighed softly and finally couldn't help but dial Lin Xingyun's number.
…………
At this moment, Lin Xingyun was in the office with Chief Consul Li discussing the recent developments of the United States and Japan.
"Commander-in-Chief, my spies say that Japan has already started preparing for its land reclamation and island-building project. However, due to insufficient resources, the United States has also provided some aid. It seems they are determined to disgust us to death." Lin Xingyun's tone was inevitably tinged with anger as he said this.
Given the stingy and wasteful nature of the United States, it's clear how much they invested in providing aid.
"No rush, what's the rush? Once they start reclaiming the island, that's when we'll step in. Are the people going to the International Court of Justice ready?" Li Zhongguo pushed the tea in front of him toward Lin Xingyun, then continued.
"If they dare to do it, we dare to take it on. We'll see who fills it out faster!"
Upon hearing Li Zhongguo's words, Lin Xingyun thoughtfully stood up, accepted the tea, and then replied.
"All is ready except for the opportunity."
Li Zhongguo knew Lin Xingyun's character and naturally wouldn't distrust him. However, since the matter was of great importance, he still asked a question.
After their conversation ended, Lin Xingyun was about to get up and leave when his phone suddenly rang. He habitually glanced at the caller ID, then raised an eyebrow.
Chengcheng? Why would she suddenly call?
Having spent a lot of time with Jiang Chengcheng, Lin Xingyun knew that she was the type of person who wouldn't visit unless she needed something.
"What's wrong?" Li Zhongguo asked, noticing Lin Xingyun's questioning gaze.
"It's Xiao Cheng on the phone." Lin Xingyun didn't hide anything, directly handing the phone to Li Zhongguo for a glance before answering and pressing the speakerphone button.
"Hello? Chengcheng? What's wrong?"
Upon hearing Lin Xingyun's voice, Jiang Chengcheng hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Uncle Lin, do you know any leaders in the medical system? I might need your help with something." Jiang Chengcheng didn't immediately bring up Zhong Liqiao's matter, but first sounded out the situation.
There's nothing wrong with the hospital not wanting to take the risk, so she had to find a solution herself. After all, there's a saying in China: "If you're going to help someone, help them all the way."
She had already made a deal with Zhong Lisheng, so she had to take care of this matter.
