Chapter 2490: Tremendous Influence

Yue Wentong and classmates hurriedly rushed to the hospital. Upon arrival, they saw a teacher and didn’t dare to enter, so they waited outside for the counselor. Each craned their necks towards the ward door, expressions full of worry.

Student Pan, who was on duty at the hospital, received phone calls from classmates who couldn’t come asking about the situation.

Soon, more seniors arrived, ample evidence of Student Xie’s popularity.

Several people from the anesthesia department arrived, all familiar or having a mentor-mentee relationship with Student Xie.

Lau Jingyun met briefly with her junior brothers after receiving a complaint call from her second junior sister, and kept complaining to her policeman boyfriend: "Don’t you arrest people like him?"

Apparently, the shameless motorcycle driver continued to act like a scoundrel, insisting he was injured and needed hospitalization. He even counterattacked, accusing others and the traffic police of causing his accident and injuries, refusing to take responsibility, causing a commotion.

Hu Zhifan comforted his girlfriend, saying he would handle it and that they would visit the injured together.

Lau Jingyun’s anger didn’t subside, wanting to see her little junior sister, but quickly backed out to avoid being a third wheel.

Loud chattering echoed in the corridor. The junior brothers recognized it as Senior Zhu’s voice.

Zhu Huicang hurried in, talking on the phone to someone, saying: "I don’t know what’s going on, you’ll have to ask someone. I just found out and rushed over from home." He asked the same question everyone else was asking upon arrival: "Where is the attending doctor?"

Everyone motioned with their mouths towards the closed office door.

The attending doctor actually locked himself in the office? Astonishingly absent at a critical moment, Zhu Huicang was speechless.

The person on the other end seemed prepared for this possibility and irately said: "We should’ve known you’re unreliable, we’re coming now."

"How are we unreliable? Guoxie has plenty of doctors, not just Tao Zhijie alone." Zhu Huicang expressed, saying if someone wanted to replace Tao Zhijie, they could.

Enough already. The other person didn’t believe he or any other Guoxie members could handle it.

Everyone around, upon hearing Zhu Huicang’s conversation, began to wonder whom he was talking to.

Shim Youhuan informed over the phone: "We’re on our way back, will pass by Guoxie, and just check the situation."

Understanding that Guo Zhi Hospital’s people were coming, everyone on site grilled Zhu Huicang: "Did you tip off Guo Zhi?"

"No!" Zhu Huicang immediately denied and clarified, loudly protesting his innocence, "Why would I call them voluntarily, what’s the point of doing that? Guo Zhi has students interning at our Guoxie. Even if I don’t say anything, they’d know."

Guo Zhi and Guoxie are brother hospitals, easily planting a few informants and spies within each other.

News spreads quickly, impossible to contain.

"Who’s coming? Is Shim Youhuan coming?" Everyone recognized Shim Youhuan’s voice and asked.

Zhu Huicang grumbled internally, little junior sister has considerable influence, not just Shim Youhuan alone is coming.

The person opposite clearly used the word "we" over the phone. Zhu Huicang recalled today’s city-wide cardiology conference. Fu Xinheng attended, and Guo Zhi’s people were undoubtedly present. Those coming back with Shim Youhuan were likely from attending the conference, possibly leaders. This only demonstrated Student Xie’s significant influence, triggering prominent figures from an external hospital to come personally for a visit.
