My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 152
Chapter 152 Scummy Parents
“Huan, be careful of your hand!” Rong Ying hurriedly grabbed his hand to take a look for any injuries.
“Huan, calm down!” Wen Zeyu went forth to pull him back.
Qin Jinhuan drew back his hand and pointed at the notebook that almost fell off the table. He then asked Wen Zeyu, “Where did you get that information?”
Wen Zeyu instantly beamed with pride. “Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun’s health are quite good. Usually they’d come all the way to Ying at Fraternity Hospital for body checkups or for sickness. However, they have never brought Xi to Fraternity Hospital despite his poor health. When you first requested that I check Xi’s medical history, I thought that this was rather odd, so I had hackers directly hack Qing Tian Workers’ Hospital system and got my hands on Xi’s records in no time. There was indeed a problem with Xi’s health.”
Qing Tian Group had a Workers’ Hospital under its properties with Dong Yueyun as the nominal president. The hospital was mainly serving the staff of Qing Tian Group but was open to the public as well. Their resources and facilities were satisfactory.
Qin Jinhuan turned to check with Ying. “Did you manage to perform a checkup on Xi tonight?”
“I was afraid that I’d be suspected by Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun, so I did not perform the checkup on my own and instead sent my most trusted junior to do so. According to his reports, Xi’s health condition is more or less the same as his medical records at the Workers’ Hospital.” When Rong Ying replied, her gaze was still worriedly fixed on Qin Jinhuan’s fingers that showed a hint of blood.
“Is Xi’s testimony in line with the checkup results?”
“I did not talk to him directly so I cannot confirm with you. But according to the doctor who performed the checkup, Xi was averse to the process and looked agitated.”
“It must be true!” Wen Zeyu interrupted in anger, “When Xi was sent into the emergency room, Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun who arrived later barged into the emergency room to transfer Xi to another hospital. Xi was still not out of danger at that time, so the medical staff in the room was shocked by his parents. Thank God Ying arrived on time with security guards to shoo the two of them out so that Xi’s gastric lavage operation could carry on. The couple didn’t even care about Xi’s safety and insisted on transferring him, which means that something must be wrong.”
“Did that happen?” Qin Jinhuan looked at Rong Ying. She nodded to confirm. “Dong Yueyun said that Fraternity Hospital’s resources are not as good as your Workers’ Hospital. She caused a scene to bring Xi away but I ignored her. Everyone knows in their heart whether Fraternity Hospital is better than the Workers’ Hospital.”
Wen Zeyu interjected again in fury, “Even the parents themselves don’t want to be treated at the Workers’ Hospital. But when Xi is in critical condition, they have the guts to claim that the Workers’ Hospital is better than Fraternity Hospital and wanted to bring him back to the Workers’ Hospital! The only thing they care about is to hide Xi’s deformity from others so that they could still get grandpa’s inheritance!”
“I have never seen parents like them before! For their own greed, they don’t mind sacrificing their child’s wellbeing!” Rong Ying was dismayed as well. Wen Zeyu echoed her sentiments and spat, “They are not qualified to be parents! They’re worse than animals!”
Rong Ying let out a long sigh and expressed her sympathy. “No wonder Xi attempted suicide. If I were him, living such an inhumane life would break me down too.”
Qin Jinhuan looked sullen but remained silent, which worried Wen Zeyu. He walked up to Qin Jinhuan and nudged him with the elbow. “How do you plan to help Xi? Ying said that a surgery is not too late based on Xi’s condition now.”
“I want to meet Xi.” After saying that, Qin Jinhuan immediately headed out.
“I’m coming with you.” Rong Ying immediately followed him.
“Count me in.” Having no time to shut his laptop down, Wen Zeyu had to haphazardly stuff his dented laptop into his laptop bag which he carried with him.
When the trio were waiting for the elevator, Rong Ying’s phone rang and she took the call. After a while, she hung up the call and looked at Qin Jinhuan helplessly. “There’s no need to go to Fraternity Hospital. Dong Yueyun and Qin Wentao have taken Xi away.”
“F*ck. They are a pair of scumbags! At this moment, they’re still unwilling to let go of Xi! I bet you that they’d definitely deny the happenings later and force Xi to deny it as well.” Wen Zeyu could not contain his anger anymore.
“Does it matter if they admit it or not?” Rong Ying was confused. “Xi’s health condition is firm evidence!”
“They are struggling in vain.” Wen Zeyu looked disdained. “Huan, let’s inform grandpa about this now so that he can discipline those two cruel parents.”
Qin Jinhuan shot him an indifferent look without responding and went into the elevator that had reached their floor at that exact moment.
“Huan!” Wen Zeyu hurriedly followed in to persuade him, “Xi is twenty years old now. If he doesn’t undergo the surgery, his life would be done with! Huan, I know that you hate Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun, but Xi is innocent! He is different from his parents! Totally different! Poor Xi is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of his parents and has no way to fight back. If we stand back too, Xi might attempt suicide again after a few days. Could you stand to see him vanish from this world without putting up a fight? Huan, say something!”
“Zeyu!” Rong Ying gently tugged at his sleeve while shaking her head at him. She directed her gaze to Qin Jinhuan later and softly asked, “Huan, are you meeting with Xi to have a heart-to-heart talk with him?”
Qin Jinhuan gave her a firm look and nodded.
Wen Zeyu was exasperated at his response. “With Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun beside him, do you think that Xi would confess to you? Plus, the information I collected should be quite comprehensive. It has been five years, during which Xi had found different excuses to avoid undergoing the surgery arranged by his parents. Isn’t his opinion clear enough?”
“We’ll have to hear from him directly so that Huan could make future arrangements. Otherwise, we’ll only get ourselves into unnecessary troubles.” Rong Ying helped Qin Jinhuan to explain himself, but she expressed her concerns as well, “Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun wanted to transfer Xi in a great hurry, so they must have guessed that we have learned the truth now. I think that they must have hidden Xi to make it hard for us to meet him.”
However, Wen Zeyu was unfazed. “We only want to know Xi’s real thoughts. Why don’t we ask his friends instead?”
“Friends? Do you know of any?” Qin Jinhuan and Rong Ying turned their heads.
Wen Zeyu checked with Rong Ying. “Didn’t you mention that there’s a young guy who sent Xi to the hospital? He looked fairly concerned about Xi, so he must be a good friend of his! Think about it, Xi rarely ventures out of the house, and he has been dead set on attempting suicide at night, yet he was saved in time by this guy. We can thus conclude that this young guy must be Xi’s good friend, in whom Xi had most probably confided.”
“I think Zeyu’s words make sense!” Rong Ying looked quite excited. “Before Xi was sent to the emergency room, it was that young guy who signed the surgery consent form on his behalf. I’ll go and check for this person’s name and contact number.”
Right then, the elevator doors opened and Rong Ying immediately walked out with her phone in hand and went to the side to make some phone calls. Wen Zeyu who walked out with her took the chance to talk to Qin Jinhuan, “Huan, in my opinion, asking for his friend’s testimony will not make any difference. You need to contact the relevant medical specialists for Xi instead.”
However, his suggestion was ignored by Qin Jinhuan who walked away.
“Huan!” Wen Zeyu ran behind him. “I know that you are reserved and hesitant when it comes to helping Xi out. But I know that you have been caring for Xi all along and you are just hiding your concern from Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun for fear that they would manipulate Xi to put forward unreasonable demands. How about this? Let me make the arrangements. If Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun have any objection later, they can resolve it with me.”
“No need for that.”
“It’s fine! I’m not scared of them, but I cannot see you being harassed by them. I…”
“Huan, I have gotten a result.” Rong Ying ran over to them and interrupted Wen Zeyu as she showed the contents on her phone to Qin Jinhuan. “The young guy is called Shang Qi. This is his phone number.”
“Shang Qi? Is he Xin Xin Multimedia Group’s new CEO?” Qin Jinhuan asked her in disbelief.
Wen Zeyu chuckled. “Don’t you have Junior President Shang’s phone number? You’ll know if you give it a call.” As Shang Huining had just recently retired from his CEO position, everyone was still unused to the change in leadership. In order to differentiate between the father and son, everyone addressed Shang Qi as the Junior President Shang.
Qin Jinhuan nodded and proceeded to enter the phone number listed in the text on Rong Ying’s phone. When he saw that the number was indeed Shang Qi’s, he was rather taken aback.
Wen Zeyu suddenly remarked, “I remembered something. Shang Qi has been Xi’s classmate for years. I never thought that Junior President Shang would be so caring. Even though he’s busy, he still cares a lot about his old classmate.”
Wen Zeyu’s reminder renewed Qin Jinhuan’s memory as well. Knowing that the two were classmates, he didn’t think further and walked to a quiet corner to make a call to Shang Qi, subtly probing the latter about the real reason behind Qin Chengxi’s suicide attempt.
“Mr. Qin, Xi said that he has some terminal illness and that his days are numbered. I believe that he couldn’t bear the pain and acted irrationally under the stress.” Shang Qi sounded distressed and sympathetic. “I have been searching for medical specialists to treat Xi, and I was planning to invite one of them to perform a checkup for him. Little did I know that he would… Sigh.”
Shang Qi’s words indicated that he did not know much about the motive of Xi’s suicide attempt. Knowing that, Qin Jinhuan absentmindedly uttered some words of comfort and hung up the phone.
“How did it go?” Wen Zeyu and Rong Ying both approached him.
“He still thinks that Xi has a terminal illness.”
“Did Xi tell him that?”
“Yes.”
“Doesn’t that mean Shang Qi does not know the truth?” Wen Zeyu was obviously disappointed.
“It seems so.”
“If so, we still have to search for Xi!” Wen Zeyu was getting impatient. “Huan, how about this? Let’s split up and take action. You and Ying should contact the medical specialists while I will search for Xi.”
Rong Ying was not persuaded by him. “Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun will definitely not let him meet you.”
“If they want to stop Xi from meeting me, I’ll go meet Xi instead.” Wen Zeyu lifted his head and slapped his chest. “Don’t worry, I will take care of this matter. I will definitely find Xi and get the truth out of his mouth.”
“Alright, we…”
Before Qin Jinhuan could finish his sentence, his phone rang. It was a call from Mu Yu so he swiftly took the call. “Yu…”
Mu Yu’s frantic voice interrupted him. “Huan, quick! Quickly save Xi!”
Feeling shocked, he questioned, “What happened to Xi?”
“I don’t know! In the washroom of the VIP room that he just left, I found a few letters written with toothpaste. It read ‘SOS, QCX’. QCX is the acronym for ‘Qin Chengxi’. I am worried that he is in deep trouble!”
“In deep trouble? Isn’t he transferred to the Workers’ Hospital by his parents?” Qin Jinhuan suddenly realized something that made him scream in panic as he ran outward.
