"Oh, Doctor Ma, let introduce you to the man who I ntioned last ti would co to see the young man!" Huang Yong's respect for this spirited middle-aged doctor was evident; he didn't show the casual and arrogant attitude he usually did with others.
"Hello! Doctor Ma, my na is Tang Xiaoquan, you can just call Xiao Tang." Tang Xiaoquan extended his right hand courteously, ready for a handshake as a gesture of respect.
But the middle-aged man didn't reciprocate; instead, he moved his hands directly to the intravenous bottle on the dical stand, beginning to tidy up the empty dicine bottles.
Tang Xiaoquan didn't mind too much; he didn't feel any displeasure because the other party ignored him.
If it were Wang Qiang at this mont, he would probably have shouted at the other party already, expressing his discontent.
"Doctor Ma, may I ask how he is doing now?"
Upon hearing a professional question, the middle-aged man, sensitive due to his profession, imdiately furrowed his brows and in a deep voice said, "Not too well! His physical condition was very poor when he ca to . I had his blood tested, and all indicators were below normal levels, resulting in very weak immunity. Coupled with the harsh survival conditions outside nowadays, he must have eaten quite a bit of unclean food to survive, which led to bacterial invasion and various inflammatory complications within him, so of which can be fatal. But these are not too concerning; I am confident I can cure them with dication. However, the ntal aspects are not sothing dications can resolve. Based on my observations over the past few days, I suspect he must have been subjected to so trendous shock outside, otherwise, he wouldn't be expressing such ntal fragility."
"Did you hear that, I wasn't wrong, was I? The young man's condition is really bad. Without our Doctor Ma, this kid would have had to go et King Yama long ago. Anyway~ I remind you once again, focus on the key points when discussing the issues." Huang Yong tily chid in, emphasizing what he had previously instructed.
"Oh, by the way, did you bring the dical supplies we discussed with your team earlier?"
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoquan promptly replied, "The supplies were brought, and the handover is ongoing downstairs. As for whether it's complete, I apologize, I'm not sure. We'll wait for our doctor to co up so you can communicate with him."
The middle-aged man nodded, understanding this, but imdiately resud a solemn deanor, saying, "Frankly speaking, initially, when I heard you wanted to talk to the young man, I was against it in principle. But Huang Yong told you ca here hoping to find information about the whereabouts of your parents from the 'patient.' Seeing your filial piety, I reluctantly agreed to Huang Yong's request. But agreeing is one thing; there are still a few matters I need to put upfront. First, I have spent considerable effort to save this person; I do not want the man we invested such large human and material resources to rescue to have his condition worsened due to your conversation. Second, his condition, as you have seen, cannot withstand any stimulation, so rember not to bring up any provocative issues. Third, during the conversation, if you find his consciousness becoming problematic or his emotions unstable, notify imdiately as I am right at the door, understood?"
Decisively nodding, Tang Xiaoquan answered straightforwardly, "Understood, Doctor Ma, I understand, please rest assured, I will keep your words in mind!"
The previous speech sowhat changed the place this man held in Tang Xiaoquan's mind.
The man's behavior caused so self-reproach, making Tang Xiaoquan feel he had sowhat misunderstood him previously.
The arrogance and rudeness the man exhibited were rely a unique aura typical to those who possess capabilities.
When you discuss professionally related matters with such people, they transform imdiately.
"Okay then, I'll leave this to you. Huang Yong, let's head out!" Doctor Ma wasn't one to dawdle; upon receiving Tang Xiaoquan's firm answer, he imdiately placed his stethoscope on the dical table, then turned and left first.
Seeing the middle-aged man's departure, Huang Yong felt it inappropriate to stay longer, but before leaving he didn't forget to remind Tang Xiaoquan once more: "We're right outside. Rember, notify us imdiately if any situation arises. Understood?"
"Understood!"
Outside the door, Huang Yong planned to check the situation downstairs, but before he could start, one of his n brought over Lao Zhao and Wang Qiang, panting heavily.
Seeing the two's figures, Huang Yong couldn't help but furrow his brows, curious, as he asked, "Was the transaction completed?"
The answer was evidently negative; verifying and comparing the dical supplies couldn't possibly be done in a few minutes.
Lao Zhao, worried about Tang Xiaoquan being alone with the other party in the building, feared any problems, hence he used the excuse of bringing Wang Qiang up.
However, the 'unease' in his heart couldn't show on his face. With a quick turn of thought, Lao Zhao smartly answered, "The transaction is ongoing. We ca up mainly to check on Xiao Tang. You know, Mr. Huang, the whereabouts of his parents are unknown, making his emotions easily unstable. When I recalled the issues you repeatedly emphasized earlier, I thought better to co up and watch over Xiao Tang, to prevent him from losing control emotionally and creating unnecessary trouble for the 'person to et.'"
This statent gave Huang Yong no reason to refuse, especially since everything was just for show initially, so after glancing at Lao Zhao and Wang Qiang, he waved his hand grandly, "Alright then! You guys go in! Rember to keep your man in check, don't cause trouble for !"
"Creaaaaak," the hinge rotated, drawing attention even from the just-seated Wang Xinquan who got up again.
He turned around, opened the screen, just in ti to see Zhao and Wang entering.
Wang Qiang was also looking for the forr, and as the two gazes t, Wang Qiang couldn't wait to call out, "Quan Zi, we're here."
"How's it going?" As he approached, Lao Zhao imdiately tossed out the main question, "Did you find out about your parents' whereabouts?"
Tang Xiaoquan shook his head, in fact, he had just sat down and didn't have ti to speak before Zhao and Wang entered.
"Are things downstairs all done?"
"No, I left Xiao Zhang and Xiao Hu to keep an eye on things there."
"Oh, I see. Then let's all get seated. I was just about to start, now you're here, so let's do this together." Gesturing everyone to sit, Tang Xiaoquan's expression was serious.
"Alright, let's do it together!" The purpose of this trip was entirely for Tang Xiaoquan; since he spoke, Lao Zhao naturally wouldn't say much, imdiately pulling over two chairs, each for Wang Qiang and himself, and sat down.
As the three sat down, the dical room, already cold, beca even more solemn.
Tang Xiaoquan glanced at Yao Ruyi on the hospital bed, took a deep, long breath, and started to turn thoughts over in his mind. (To be continued.
