Chapter 272
"Sister Yang!"
Xiaobei saw Yang Wanqing, right at the door of the operating room, her face full of worry like everyone else.
"Xiaobei!"
Seeing him, Yang Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, as if she felt reassured, and hurried forward, "Inside... is Secretary Chang of Jiang City. Today, he was inspecting the countryside, had an accident, got hit by falling rocks from the mountain, and fell down. He is being rescued now, and we don't know how it is going."
"I'm very worried because when he was brought in, the situation was already critical, so I called you in case you could be of help."
Upon hearing this, Xiaobei clicked his tongue.
Secretary Chang of Jiang City?
Isn't he the top leader of the city, the one known as Changqing Mountain? He's the one Xiaobei had seen in the news.
This is really a big figure!
No wonder so many people have come. They must all be high officials from various departments!
Xiaobei looked around, feeling a bit restrained; he was just a small doctor who had never seen such a big scene. Even Sister Yang was merely a deputy director at the education bureau.
He didn't dare to speak, just stood beside Sister Yang, waiting together.
Da-da-da!
After a while, someone else arrived.
"How's the situation?"
The voice was very familiar. Xiaobei looked up and saw that it was Song Yanjiao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
She was in a black work outfit, with a graceful figure and stunning beauty, indeed a captivating woman, but thinking of her character and deeds made Xiaobei feel somewhat repulsed.
"Sister Yang, you're here too... Dr. Xia?"
Upon seeing Xiaobei, Song Yanjiao's pupils contracted, full of surprise, and she looked around, examining the two with keen interest.
She had always thought that the incident that day blew over, so she temporarily gave up trying to win over Yang Wanqing and had been busy with other matters lately, ignoring her.
As for this Dr. Xia, she always remembered him and wanted to meet, but he kept avoiding saying he was busy. She thought it was because he felt guilty and didn't want to be used by her anymore, so he deliberately distanced himself.
She felt a bit regretful but didn't force it, knowing he had always disapproved of the sibling's actions. She felt a bit sad when her brother mentioned him before.
They hadn't been intimate many times, just twice, but it lingered in her mind, no longer a mere physical relationship but with a tinge of complex emotion.
Now, seeing him stand behind Yang Wanqing, her heart ached with jealousy!
She knew the incident that day must have happened: Yang Wanqing accepted him, and he thought Yang Wanqing was better than her, so he stopped seeing her.
No wonder!
She suddenly remembered, a while ago, when Vice Section Chief Ma suddenly fell from grace. She thought it was a coincidence and didn't think much of it. It seemed that Yang Wanqing helped him.
This Yang Wanqing might only be a small deputy director of the education bureau, but her former superior had significant influence and admired her greatly, giving her a tremendous backing. Her future prospects were limitless.
In the Jiang City political scene, Yang Wanqing also had a vast network.
"Dr. Xia, long time no see!"
Song Yanjiao squinted, staring at Yang Wanqing, forcibly suppressing the jealousy and displeasure in her heart, then looked towards Xiaobei, "Didn't you say you were always busy? How come you have the time to come with Sister Yang today? Does it mean you were only busy for me?"
Xiaobei felt a wave of awkwardness.
Seeing a hint of hostility in her eyes, Yang Wanqing stepped forward, blocking between her and Xiaobei, and said unceremoniously, "Director Song, whether or not he's busy is none of your business! I told him not to see you anymore; I know all your dirty tricks. If he follows you, he'll only be used by you."
Her beautiful eyes blazed, confronting her directly.
Song Yanjiao's face changed, looking even more displeased, but it was not good to tear her face and quarrel, as both had identities, and people were watching, while Secretary Chang was still being rescued inside!
"Sister Yang, you've misunderstood me!"
Song Yanjiao smiled, became polite again, glanced at Xiaobei, and then turned away.
After waiting for more than an hour, the operating room door opened, delivering bad news: the rescue surgery was unsuccessful, and the patient had internal organ bleeding and acute failure, beyond help.
The crowd outside suddenly erupted, and cries started, from Secretary Chang's family.
"How could it be?"
Yang Wanqing trembled, her face pale, "Secretary Chang was a good person, a good secretary! Xiaobei, do you have a way to save Secretary Chang?" She looked towards Xiaobei.
Though the doctors had declared it, she had witnessed the miraculous medical skills of the young man before her—her daughter was saved by him. He must have a way to also save Secretary Chang.
"This..."
Xiaobei hesitated.
With internal organ bleeding and acute failure, basically, his body had collapsed, a death sentence; trying to save him would consume unimaginable Yang Qi and mental energy.
But seeing Sister Yang's hopeful eyes and thinking about Secretary Chang's good reputation as a good official, he also felt regret and resolutely nodded, "I can give it a try."
"Alright, come with me."
Yang Wanqing immediately pulled him forward, squeezed through the crowd to the forefront of the operating room, and found a middle-aged woman, Secretary Chang's wife, Wang Lei, and excitedly spoke a few words.
"What? You mean this young man, he can save my husband?"
Wang Lei listened, a bit incredulous, then frowned, scolding, "Wanqing, I consider you a friend, and at this time, you're still joking with me, saying absurd things to deceive me. He's just a child!"
People around, hearing this, also buzzed with disbelief, thinking Yang Deputy Director had gone mad.
"Sister Wang, it's true, listen to me, let him try. The doctors said Secretary Chang has no hope, let him..." Yang Wanqing urged eagerly.
"Enough!"
Wang Lei, already consumed with grief, became even more annoyed listening to such absurd nonsense.
"Sister Wang, just let him try! Vice Director Yang wasn't lying. This young man is indeed a miracle doctor; he treated me before, and Vice Director Yang's daughter, previously declared brain dead by doctors, was also saved by him."
At this moment, Song Yanjiao separated from the crowd and came forward, suppressing the crowd's murmurs with her words, once again causing a stir of disbelief among all...
