233: Chapter 233 Tang Family Really Eccentric 233: Chapter 233 Tang Family Really Eccentric Jiang Yan looked at her cautious appearance and said helplessly: “Go ahead and eat, I didn’t set a trap for you.”
He then picked a piece of her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs for her.
Su He naturally opened her mouth and accepted his feeding as a matter of course.
“Xi Jue has arrived, you know that?” she asked.
While picking food for her, the man responded: “Yes, I know.”
Then, she continued, “Last time in Country X, you didn’t do anything to him, are you waiting for today?”
Jiang Yan looked at her, smiled helplessly and said, “Although your husband is particularly outstanding, I don’t yet have the ability to foresee the future.”
Su He was just joking, of course, she knew that.
“Sometimes, revenge doesn’t necessarily have to be direct action against the person himself,” he said.
Su He stared at his handsome face, his deep eyes filled with insidious cunning.
What he said made sense.
“So, what did you do to him?” Su He asked curiously.
He said, “To minimize the risks, naturally it’s best to gradually weaken the forces behind him.”
Su He raised her eyebrows slightly, no wonder he was known for being cunning, her praise was not undeserved.
Given Xi Jue’s status, the forces behind him were indeed formidable.
Sometimes a direct confrontation isn’t the smartest or the clearest approach.
If it were her, she would choose the same method as him.
…
After Su He finished eating, Jiang Yan left.
Su He napped in her office for a while before being called by the emergency department for a consultation.
She went to the emergency department accompanied by Lan Yan and Lu Zhenyu.
Upon arrival at the emergency department, Su He asked, “What’s the situation?”
The emergency doctor said, “The patient was stabbed in the heart with a knife, it’s hard to say whether she’s lucky or unlucky.”
“What do you mean?” asked Su He.
“The knife was inserted right at her rib, and the tip of the knife is just touching the surface of her heart, only a millimeter away.
In such a condition, even a sneeze by her could puncture her heart, and then stopping the bleeding would be impossible, and currently, it’s not suitable to remove the knife as it’s stuck too firmly.
We worry about touching the blood vessels around the patient’s heart, so we had to call for a consultation with your cardiothoracic team.”
Su He listened intently, it was indeed a tricky situation.
She asked, “How old is the patient?”
The emergency doctor said, “Around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, Director Su, you should know this person.”
As soon as he finished speaking, they arrived at the emergency room.
And standing outside the emergency room was none other than An Xueyin.
A name immediately came to Su He’s mind, so, the person lying inside was Tang Sirou?
After all, the age also matched Tang Sirou.
Both Lan Yan and Lu Zhenyu guessed it too, isn’t this too melodramatic?
The moment An Xueyin saw Su He, she was stunned.
She immediately said, “Get another doctor for my cousin, I don’t trust her!”
Everyone: “…”
The male doctor from the emergency department expressed his frustration: “Miss, please stop making a scene.
Your cousin’s condition is very critical and Director Su’s medical skills are well recognized by everyone in our hospital.”
Su He ignored her and went straight into the emergency room.
An Xueyin tried to stop Su He from entering, but she was held back by a nurse nearby.
“Miss An, you have studied medicine yourself, you should know that the patient’s current situation is very dangerous, so please wait here quietly.”
The nurse recognized her, after all, An Xueyin had spent some time in their hospital.
“…”
Inside the emergency room.
Tang Sirou was relatively lucid at the moment, so she was startled when she saw Su He standing in front of her.
Su He had a detached expression, as if she didn’t recognize her.
She pulled out two sterile gloves, put them on, and then began examining the dagger embedded in Tang Sirou’s chest using the CT scans.
The insertion location was indeed problematic, very close to the heart, and the blade was stuck in the ribcage.
Slightly pulling it out could create a pulling force, causing the tip of the knife to slice the edge of the heart and scrape off a piece of rib bone.
The fragmented bones would need removal, and the edge of the heart is surrounded by fine blood vessels which could easily lead to massive bleeding or even cardiac arrest.
Most importantly, Tang Sirou had undergone a heart transplant, it wasn’t her original heart and naturally had some imperfections.
“Let’s proceed to surgery, although it’s high risk, currently, an open chest operation is the only way to remove the dagger.”
Then Su He looked at Tang Sirou, her tone neutral and business-like, she said: “Miss Tang, your situation is more serious than imagined, an open chest surgery is necessary to remove the dagger to reduce the strain on your heart.
You’ve already had one heart transplant, I assume you do not wish to undergo a second, moreover, there aren’t that many suitable hearts available for you.”
After speaking, Su He didn’t wait for her response, she turned to the emergency doctors and said, “Prepare the operating room and notify the anesthesia department, also rush to get the family’s signature.”
“Right, I’ll go now.”
Lu Zhenyu and Lan Yan exchanged glances, then, he looked at Su He and asked, “Director, are you taking the lead in surgery?”
“Is there a problem?” she retorted.
Lu Zhenyu hesitated, “But, this…”
Su He knew what he wanted to say, she took off her gloves, and stated, “Wearing this white coat comes with these duties, no matter who the patient is.”
And since the patient was brought before her, she couldn’t simply stand by and watch.
“Alright, both of you go prepare as well, you’ll accompany me into the OR,” said Su He.
Shortly after, the trio left.
…
As Tang Sirou was pushed into the operating room, the Tang Family arrived, but they panicked hearing Su He would lead the surgery.
Particularly Tang Sirou’s mother Lin Liu, along with An Xueyin stirring things up, Lin Liu, and Mr.
Tang were unwilling to sign the consent form for the surgery.
The doctor negotiating with them looked helpless.
He had said all he could, yet these people wouldn’t be persuaded.
The head nurse of the emergency department couldn’t stand it anymore, she sternly said: “If you family members don’t sign the consent, any sudden complications the patient suffers will be your responsibility.
Moreover, it’s your daughter, whether to save her or not is up to you.
I’ll give you ten more minutes to consider carefully.”
An Xueyin immediately said, “Change the doctor, we’ll sign right away.”
The Tang Family echoed, “Yes, change the doctor, we’ll sign right away.”
The head nurse was speechless: “…..”
Elsewhere.
Su He and the others had just changed into surgical attire, waiting in the operating room for the family’s consent.
At that moment, a doctor came in, somewhat troubled, and said; “Director Su, the family refuses to sign, they are requesting a change of doctor for the surgery.”
Su He wasn’t surprised at all.
“That’s fine, let’s change then,” she said indifferently.
She truly didn’t care.
But then, the male doctor spoke again, “But currently, there aren’t many who can perform this surgery.
I’ve checked, and the other department chiefs are either currently in surgery or out, right now only you, Director, can do it.”
“…”
Honestly, Su He didn’t want to talk to the Tang family, and her going out might only excite them further.
Then, she turned to Lan Yan and said, “I won’t be the main surgeon, let Lan Yan take over, I’ll just assist.”
Lan Yan: “…”
Having the boss assist her in the OR?
Wasn’t that a waste of incredible talent?
And this is something unprecedented.
Lan Yan wanted to refuse: “Boss, this won’t work, this…”
Su He directly interrupted her: “There are not so many things that won’t work.
It’s not a big deal and time is pressing, so let’s proceed as planned.”
“…”
The Tang Family signed the papers after the chief surgeon was changed.
Inside the operating room.
“Really, the Tang Family people are quite odd.
They have such nerve, fussing over this at such a time,” Lu Zhenyu commented.
The anesthesiologist glanced at Tang Sirou, who was lying on the operating table, and said, “Aren’t you worried she might hear you?”
Lu Zhenyu replied, “She’s already asleep, what, should I be worried she’ll wake up and hit me?”
The anesthesiologist chuckled: “That does make sense.”
“Alright, enough chit-chat,” Su He said.
Usually, the atmosphere is very tense when performing surgery with Su He, because she does not allow anyone to talk about things unrelated to the surgery.
Most importantly, she sometimes gives them pop quizzes, which are truly terrifying and dreadful.
It’s already highly tense, and then suddenly a pop quiz appears.
This surgery, lasting two hours, went smoothly.
Su He actually let Lan Yan assist her this time, it seems like she hasn’t assisted in surgeries for a long time.
Mainly because she trusts Lan Yan’s capabilities.
Having a surgical master like Nil as her assistant, if word got out, who knows how many people would be envious.
“Boss, what about the Tang Family?” Lan Yan asked.
As Su He was washing her hands, she said, “Someone from their side will handle it, let’s go back to our department and then head home after work.”
She really didn’t want to deal with those vexing issues after a tiring day.
Lu Zhenyu suddenly asked, “By the way, I’m quite curious about who stabbed Miss Tang?”
“Why are you so gossipy?”
Lan Yan gave him a sidelong glance.
“I can avoid gossiping about other patients, but for Miss Tang, of course, I’m curious.
I just want to know who had the guts to stab her and what kind of grudge led to such a vicious attack.
These are all hot news, much more interesting than the speculations online,” Lu Zhenyu said somewhat excitedly.
He turned to Su He and asked, “Director Su, aren’t you curious?”
Su He, while drying her hands, replied emotionlessly, “As long as it doesn’t concern us, that’s fine.”
What she implied was: Less idle nosiness and needless worrying.
After saying that, she left the operating room.
Lu Zhenyu: “…”
Watching him, Lan Yan said, “Since you’re so curious, you could stay and wait for her to wake up, then ask her yourself.”
After speaking, she followed Su He out.
“…”
The incident of Tang Sirou being stabbed quickly spread online.
And it stirred up quite a buzz.
Some said it was a suicide, others said she was stabbed by her own fans, with all kinds of stories on the internet…
even rumors that she was already not breathing when brought to the hospital.
This also caused a crowd of reporters to gather at the entrance of City First Hospital.
In the director’s office.
“Director, we must handle this swiftly, or more and more people will gather at the hospital entrance,” the secretary said.
The growing crowd posed a security risk and an issue for the hospital’s image.
Sitting in front of his desk, Su Tianyi thought for a moment, then asked, “How is the patient now?”
The secretary replied, “Dr.
Lan Yan performed the surgery, with Director Su assisting on the side.
The surgery was very successful, and the patient is now being observed in the ICU.
All indicators are currently normal.”
Upon hearing that Su He assisted in the surgery, Su Tianyi was startled and asked, “What happened?”
The secretary explained, “I heard it was because the family did not agree to have Director Su lead the surgery, so Director Su let Dr.
Lan take over as the chief surgeon temporarily.
But rest assured, Director, all of this was done according to procedure.
Dr.
Lan also qualifies as a chief surgeon, and no one will make an issue out of this.”
Su Tianyi was not worried about it; he naturally trusted Su He’s decision, especially since Lan Yan was brought in by her.
“What is the situation with the Tang Family now?” Su Tianyi asked.
“The Tang Family has not made a statement so far.” The secretary said with some confusion, “It doesn’t seem like the Tang Family’s style.
Logically, if their beloved daughter was stabbed, they should be making a big fuss to seek justice.
But the way the Tang Family has been acting is too quiet.
I heard that even when the police came to ask for a statement, they were very secretive about it.”
“There must be something going on here, but no one knows for now.
Apart from the parties involved, maybe only that woman named An Xueyin knows.”
At this moment, the office door was pushed open from the outside.
Su He walked in from outside.
She was ready to leave the office, but when she reached the ground floor, she saw a crowd of reporters outside the hospital and came back here directly.
Su Tianyi looked at her and asked, “Why are you here?”
Su He pulled out a chair in front of him and sat down leisurely, her tone slightly casual, “I came to see what great ideas my little uncle has to drive away the reporters downstairs.”
With the Tang Family not appearing and not allowing the police to release any clues, it is essentially making City First Hospital act as their shield.
If the hospital doesn’t show up to give the entertainment media a statement, the public opinion will definitely point towards City First Hospital.
Su Tianyi, squinting his eyes, looked at her.
“Do you have a solution?”
Su He hummed, her eyebrows slightly raising, “As long as you use your brain, there is definitely a solution, but my method is slightly aggressive.”
Su Tianyi and the secretary looked at her curiously.
“What kind of aggressive method?
Tell me first,” Su Tianyi said.
Su He smiled lightly, “Of course, I’m not really that aggressive, just joking.”
Su Tianyi: “…”
“You’re treating your little uncle like a monkey to play with?” he said in annoyance.
Su He replied, “Actually, it’s not that difficult.
The Tang Family just wants the hospital to temporarily act as their protector.
Just slightly publicize Tang Sirou’s treatment process.
Our main goal is to clarify our relationship with the Tang Family, don’t let the entertainment media reporters think we are siding with them.
We are only responsible for treating diseases and saving lives – these family and personal grievances have nothing to do with our hospital.
Taking preemptive action, at least when the media reporters no longer have the patience, they won’t direct the public opinion towards the hospital.”
“As for how to write the hospital’s press release, that’s for you office workers, not related to me.”
Finally, Su He clarified her last sentence.
She was only responsible for offering an idea, not for teaching them how to write it.
After her suggestion, it seemed quite reasonable, akin to being prudent and self-preserving, which is precisely what they needed.
Su Tianyi almost didn’t need to think twice before saying, “Manager, proceed with Susu’s suggestions.”
The secretary responded, “Okay, I will do it right away.”
“…”
The hospital staff worked efficiently, and after half an hour, the article was published.
Within just a few minutes, it topped the trending search.
Su He took out her phone, glanced at it a few times, then put it away.
She complimented, “Not bad, it seems the hospital isn’t harboring idlers.”
After saying that, she got up, ready to leave.
“Well, little uncle, you carry on, I’m heading home.”
Su Tianyi nodded, “Go ahead.”
Meanwhile, after the Tang Family saw the article published by the hospital, they became restless.
Lin Liu said anxiously, “What should we do now?”
An Xueyin comforted her on the side, “Auntie, don’t worry, the article doesn’t reveal much, no one is going to know about this.”
Lin Liu, of course, knew the article wasn’t revealing.
But what she worried about wasn’t that.
“If City First Hospital disassociates itself, the media will constantly hassle the Tang Family with questions.
We initially didn’t plan to show up, just wanted the hospital to block the reporters for us, but with their publication of this article, it’s as though we’ve lost a protective screen.”
