"Sir Director, can we … save the patient?"
"Sir Director, this old man can't die!"
"Sir Director, what's the current situation?"
Everyone crowded around Gu Beiyue, asking questions one after another. Fourth Young Miss Ren hadn't even washed the blood off her hands. Her eyes were red as she asked in a choked voice, "Sir Director, how is it, how is it?"
When she'd first entered the small room, Assistant Head Shen had been taking the patient's pulse. The patient had been on the verge of death, but he'd still taken out a blade from his sleeve and stabbed it into the abdomen.
In that instant, blood had gushed out. She'd been scared out of her wits!
As a doctor, especially one of her rank, she'd been fighting with death almost every day and had long since become accustomed to death. But this time, she was afraid.
She was afraid that if this old man died, the Ren family would be completely finished!
Gu Beiyue furrowed his brows and glanced coldly at the people who'd just blocked his way. He didn't say anything and simply walked to the side and sat down. Assistant Head Shen answered everyone's question, "He's still in the emergency room. It's unknown if he's still alive."
Everyone was stunned by his words.
He was still in the emergency room, but the two most skilled doctors in Medical City were here. Who was staying inside to save him?
At this moment, everyone recalled the madam who'd been hurriedly pushed away by the servant girl.
Could it be … Qin Min?!
Everyone had their own guesses, but no one dared to ask. In the silence, Gu Beiyue opened his mouth, "Qin Min is still in the emergency room."
Once he said this, the room became even quieter. It was so quiet that even the sound of falling leaves outside the door could be heard. Fourth Young Miss Ren fell into a chair, her face full of suspicion.
When silence and waiting coexisted, time passed slowly.
A full four hours had passed, and everyone's heart was restless and uneasy.
What about Gu Beiyue?
Gu Beiyue's head was lowered and he didn't move at all. He was originally a very quiet person, but at this moment, he was like a statue in his own silent world.
Another hour passed.
Suddenly, Shaoyao dashed in from the back door and stopped in front of Gu Beiyue. "Son-in-law!"
The entire world was silent. Everyone was motionless. Only Gu Beiyue slowly raised his head.
"We couldn't save him …" Peony said.
In that instant, Peony clearly saw the fear in her husband's eyes.
She would never forget the look in her son-in-law's eyes at this moment. She had always been surprised. A person like her son-in-law must be fearless.
Not only was the entire world silent, it was also dark.
However, Peony suddenly laughed and added, "As if!"
In that moment, Peony saw the light in the young master's eyes. She would never forget it. This was the first time she knew that a person's eyes could really emit light!
"Shaoyao! What was going on? Speak clearly! "Vice Academy Head Shen snapped.
"Young …" Peony paused, then immediately corrected herself. "Madam Academy Head saved that old man and is now prescribing medicine. Madam said …"
Before Peony could finish, Gu Beiyue rose to his feet and walked out from the back. Department Head Shen hastened to catch up with him, as did the other elders. The people left behind were all shocked. They couldn't believe what they were hearing.
How could Qin Min possibly save someone with her level of skill?!
After all, the old man's illness was already critical. How could he be saved if he tried to commit suicide? Besides Gu Beiyue, who else could save him?
When everyone arrived at the rear courtyard, Qin Min was sitting in a wheelchair, wheeling herself out.
She saw Gu Beiyue at first glance, but her smile was directed at everyone. "At least his life was saved. The medical academy and the Qin family won't have to commit such grave sins."
Gu Beiyue seemed to want to say something, but didn't say anything in the end. He, Vice Academy Head Shen, and the elders walked into the small room and inspected it before coming out.
At that moment, Qin Min finally looked Gu Beiyue in the eye and smiled at him. "Husband, I'm not lying, am I?"
The word 'husband' stunned Gu Beiyue. It took him a while to regain his composure. "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."
The people around them didn't notice the strangeness between the husband and wife. They all looked at Qin Min in astonishment. Even though they'd seen it with their own eyes, they still couldn't believe it was true.
Even the elders couldn't believe it, let alone the people outside.
When Gu Beiyue announced that the old man was out of danger, everyone in the room, including the people crowding outside, were all dumbfounded. Fourth Young Miss Ren was included! As for the young master of the Qin family, he had already run back to the Qin family.
Since the old man was saved, Gu Beiyue naturally had to preside over the situation and punish the heads of the Ren and Qin families, as well as those related to them.
In front of everyone, Gu Beiyue said to Qin Min, "Madam, although you saved his life, the Qin family can't escape punishment."
Qin Min said indifferently, "I understand. Father shouldn't be angry and leave me in the lurch. I won't complain no matter how Husband deals with me. "
She called him 'husband' again. Fortunately, he adapted quickly this time and didn't give himself away in front of everyone. One had to know that everyone was looking at him at this moment.
"The Ren family and the Council of Elders are responsible." Gu Beiyue finally brought up the main topic. "There are doctors everywhere in Medical City. Patients knelt in front of Medical City, but were turned away and ignored all day long. How did the Council of Elders manage things? How did the Medical Supervisor manage things? The upper part is not straight and the lower part is crooked. If you are already like this, then what about the other doctors? You only care about profit and leave people in the lurch. You treat human lives like grass! His Majesty's reports against Medical City and this director can be piled up to the sky! "
The more Gu Beiyue spoke, the angrier he became. Although he was acting, he was speaking from the bottom of his heart. After all, what he said was the truth.
It had to be said that Gu Beiyue was very scary when he was angry.
When that quiet face turned cold, it looked more and more like it was carved by God. No matter which direction you looked at it from, he was so handsome and cold. It was as if he was an emotionless deity who wouldn't show any mercy when his bottom line was crossed.
No one had ever seen Gu Beiyue so angry and cold, including Qin Min.
Qin Min was right beside him. When she turned to look at him, she wasn't afraid, but there was an indescribable feeling of unfamiliarity. For a moment, she couldn't tell if he was acting or if he was really like this.
In the silent hall, Gu Beiyue's voice was cold and dignified, as if it had descended from the sky.
He said, "Vice Academy Head Shen, from today onwards, Ren and Qin are stripped of their medical sage rank and demoted to medical slaves! All practitioners will be demoted by one rank. As for the Council of Elders … it will be discussed! "
After Gu Beiyue finished speaking, he immediately got up and left. Qin Min didn't say much and had Shaoyao push her back to her room.
Once the two of them were far away, the crowd broke into an uproar and left one after another. Smart people could hear Gu Beiyue's best words: there was going to be a great upheaval in Medical City.
Fourth Young Miss Ren was the last to leave. She didn't go back to the Ren residence, but went in the opposite direction.
She went to a small clinic hidden in an alley. This was where Gu Beiyue secretly taught in the past. She was one of the few students he valued. If she really wanted to call him master, she should be calling him master.
However, he didn't allow her to call him master, nor did he allow the other apprentices to call him master. Before, everyone called him Doctor Gu, but now they called him Director.
His former classmates were scattered all over Medical City and the Great Qin Empire. However, this small clinic hadn't been abandoned. She imitated him and secretly taught here.
She took in people who were talented and kind, but couldn't enter medical school for various reasons.
There were no classes today, so this place was empty.
Fourth Young Miss Ren sat down in her old seat. She didn't know why, but tears streamed down her face.
When she heard that he went to the Qin family as a matchmaker, she didn't even cry so miserably on the day of his wedding. She could hold it in, but today, she couldn't hold it in at all.
She knew that she was wrong, very wrong.
She had long known that he wanted to reform Medical City. She also knew that he wanted to suppress the Ren and Qin families. She had even participated in his reform plan, initiating some changes in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.
However, she couldn't bring herself to harden her heart for today's matter.
She had long known that her father had bribed that patient. The whole thing had been planned by her father in order to destroy the Qin family head, implicate Qin Min, and benefit Second Master Qin.
Her father had already studied several cases of that patient's strange illness and had detailed medical records and treatment methods. There were many treatments for that strange illness, but the first course of treatment was the same. It was the Qin family head's treatment, which was to kill the patient.
It was the Qin family head's first time coming into contact with such a case, so of course he didn't understand. However, her father knew very well that he was in control of the situation.
After learning the truth, she had struggled several times, wanting to tell Gu Beiyue and Deputy Shen. However, in the end, she couldn't get over herself. She couldn't betray her father, so she could only persuade him.
When she realized that she couldn't persuade him, she went to steal. She stole her father's medical records to learn the treatment.
When she heard that Qin Min could cure the old man, she panicked and stood up without thinking, wanting to steal this opportunity.
She didn't want to make things difficult for Qin Min, but she could guess that everything Qin Min had said and done was arranged by Gu Beiyue. She knew that he was going to take action and use this opportunity to get rid of her father.
She was so panicked that she lost all reason. She only wanted to do her best to redeem herself and atone for her sins before being sentenced.
While Fourth Young Miss Ren was immersed in her own remorse, a long blade suddenly flew in from outside and landed at her feet.
Fourth Young Miss Ren recognized it at a glance. It was the same blade that the old man had used to commit suicide!
She subconsciously looked up and saw Gu Beiyue walking in with a cold expression.
At this moment, Fourth Young Miss Ren couldn't stop the tears that she had tried so hard to stop.
Gu Beiyue stopped at a distance and looked at Fourth Young Miss Ren Coldly.
He was indeed very surprised when Fourth Young Miss Ren appeared at the Qin family's gate. However, he immediately determined that Fourth Young Miss Ren knew the truth behind the Ren family head's scheme.
He didn't give Qin Min any warning because he wanted her to bring this matter to him and Deputy Shen. He had chosen Fourth Young Miss Ren based on her rank because he wanted to obtain sufficient evidence to prove that the Ren family could cure the old man's illness. He wanted to pretend to be innocent and shift all responsibility to the Qin family.
