Chapter 2386: It Was Him
Doctors, while they may not love gossip, have developed a professional habit of telling the truth when it comes to matters of life and death.
The Hao family realized that the doctors on site, particularly this straightforward female doctor, probably didn’t know how important tonight’s incident and her words were to their family. Some already fragile relationships suddenly received angel-like salvation.
"Thank you." These two words inadvertently flashed in the eyes of the Hao family.
Xie Wanying had another important piece of evidence she didn’t mention. If the Eldest Young Master Hao or the Hao family had any suspicion of wrongdoing, Brother Hu, who went to the scene to investigate, would have shown some reaction. Even if they didn’t want to alert them, they would at least keep an eye on Eldest Young Master Hao in case he attempted another crime or tried to escape.
The police, after conducting their site investigation, had already come to a preliminary conclusion. Xie Wanying thought to herself, she believed that Brother Hu would be able to get to the bottom of it.
The Eldest Young Master Hao was convinced by her. He previously feared doctors might speak carelessly and smear him like others, but the scientific approach of this doctor moved him, and his attitude changed drastically. He told his mother, "Tell my brother Ah Cai clearly, if surgery is needed, let the child have it as soon as possible."
Director Hao and Madam Hao thought the same.
The consent form for the child’s surgery was delivered running all the way from the emergency room by Pan Shihua, a classmate.
Madam Hao was on the phone with her younger son, who was abroad consulting with a doctor. During the exchange, the overseas doctor was shocked to hear that the domestic doctor was able to promptly detect that the child had an issue with the "ru" muscle, directly stating, "Patients with electrical injuries like this are very rare, and if it occurs, the consequences are severe. It’s very difficult for a doctor to detect it promptly."
Undoubtedly, the words of fellow doctors strengthened the resolve of the Hao family, and they immediately decided to have the child undergo the operation.
The Eldest Young Master Hao signed the consent form for surgery on behalf of his brother, as he couldn’t let their elderly parents endure such mental stress.
After receiving the family’s consent form, Cao Zhao stood up and led the students out, preparing to perform the surgery on the patient.
A call came in.
Director Hao pointed to the phone, indicating for his son to answer.
Hearing the voice on the other side, the Eldest Young Master Hao’s expression became very serious: "Hello, President Qi."
President Qi? As Xie Wanying followed her teacher out the door, she thought that name seemed to remind her of someone.
Knowing that this family was about to discuss commercial secrets, all the on-site doctors unanimously withdrew.
The door closed.
Director Hao watched nervously his son’s phone, hoping tonight’s incident wouldn’t jeopardize their most important contract with Guoneng Group.
Yes, tonight’s incident might seem at first unrelated to the commercial contract. The problem is that business involves many facets, not just as simple as doing business. Just like in the medical community, where treatment is guided by the human (medical personnel) oriented focus to make treatment plans, it’s the same logic in the business world, ultimately relying on people.
A simple deduction of the commercial logic triggered by tonight’s incident would be: rumors spread, the public might fear that the Hao family is involved in a homicide investigation or has been arrested by the police. Since the Hao family is crucial to M Group, being its major shareholder and authority, should the head of a company face problems, the company operations would absolutely encounter significant issues, possibly leading to bankruptcy. Investors, therefore, view the company’s operational prospects negatively, reducing investments, causing stocks to plummet the next day. This is the most common reaction of the capital market reflected in company news on the stock market.
