This Doctor Is Too Wealthy
Chapter 871 - 646 Bad people start with small things
"Nan, your brother-in-law is so awesome."
Hao Hongxia and Wu Shengnan, the two women, were too shy to squeeze forward, and of course, they couldn't compete with the Real Men in the detachment. In the minds of these men, women generally weren't given priority.
Squeezed to the back, Hao Hongxia's face was full of admiration. She was so excited she was about to jump while tugging Wu Shengnan's arm.
Meanwhile, Wu Shengnan smiled faintly, appearing calm even when Hao Hongxia was shaking her arm vigorously. She just responded with a shallow smile.
What others didn't know was that at this moment, she desperately needed to use the toilet. It wasn't that she had been holding it in for too long, but a sudden urge had come over her, so fierce that her whole body involuntarily tensed up.
Seeing Du Heng being squeezed to the back, she really wanted to rush up and hug him. However, she knew that considering Du Heng's status, especially while at the hospital, she should do her best to maintain his dignity and not make him appear frivolous.
Du Heng was pushed to the outer layer by the strong men and exchanged wry smiles with Doctor Ma, who had also been pushed out.
Fortunately, Captain Tao's surprise lasted only a few seconds before he regained his composure. He took another deep look at Du Heng and Wu Shengnan standing in the back, then turned his attention to the excited team members.
"Everyone, move back! Let the doctors through! Are you going to treat Zhang yourselves?" Captain Tao walked forward, pushing aside those blocking his way. "All of you, get out of the way! Let President Du check on Zhang immediately!"
With Captain Tao, their leader, speaking up, the excited team members finally suppressed their agitation. One by one, they said goodbye to the baffled Leader Zhang and turned to leave.
When they passed Du Heng, they were even more enthusiastic than during their last medical check-up.
"Doctor Du, you're awesome!" someone exclaimed, giving a thumbs up.
"Du, I'll treat you to a drink when we have time," said one who felt he had a good relationship with Du Heng.
"Thank you, Doctor Du," said a more reserved individual with whom Du Heng had a more general acquaintance.
And when they passed Wu Shengnan, each of them also wore a smile—a very sincere smile, even more sincere than when Wu Shengnan had solved the case the day before.
"Thank you, Leader Wu."
"Thank you, Leader Wu."
Wu Shengnan responded with the most sincere smile, but her heart grew increasingly restless; one might even say she was itching with impatience. She desperately wished she could go home right now and share her excitement with Du Heng.
"Xiao Xia, I need to go to the restroom." Wu Shengnan could no longer hold it in. She quickly pulled her hand from Hao Hongxia's grasp and hurried towards the restroom outside.
At this point, Du Heng was finally invited to the bedside by Captain Tao. "President Du, could you please check on Leader Zhang again to see if there are any problems?"
Du Heng nodded and walked up to Leader Zhang. He asked with a smile, "Leader Zhang, do you remember what happened over the past few days?"
Leader Zhang looked around again. "I can recall things from a few days ago, but recent events are a bit vague. I keep getting a specious feeling, like something seems right but isn't."
Du Heng explained, "As long as you have some memory, it means you haven't completely lost your wits. Recovery should be easy."
Leader Zhang shifted uncomfortably and asked with a frown, "Why do I feel so tired and sore all over? I can barely get up."
"That's normal. You just experienced intense sweating and a sudden, forceful bowel movement, so your body is temporarily depleted. After a few days of recuperation, you'll be bursting with energy again."
As Du Heng spoke, he took Leader Zhang's pulse again, then turned to Doctor Ma. "Stop the previous medicine. Switch to the Four Agents Decoction to replenish his blood and help him recuperate."
He then said to Captain Tao and the others nearby, "Let Leader Zhang rest well and recover his energy. Starting tomorrow, you can visit him as you please."
Captain Tao gripped Du Heng's hand very tightly, so tightly it pained Du Heng's hand. "Thank you, President Du! We've really troubled you. You said one dose would be effective, and it truly was! You're a miracle worker, a Divine Doctor! I was still a bit skeptical of you just now; I'm truly embarrassed."
Du Heng endured the pain in his palm and replied modestly, "Not at all, not at all. Captain Tao, you're too kind. Healing the sick and saving lives is our duty; we don't deserve such praise."
Captain Tao laughed heartily. "Then let's find a time to have a good drink with President Du! For now, we won't disturb your work, and we'll let Zhang rest properly."
With that, he finally released Du Heng's hand. Du Heng quickly cradled it with his other hand, discreetly rubbing it a couple of times.
"Xiao Hao, I'll trouble you to stay and take care of your Leader Zhang."
"Alright."
"By the way, where's Leader Wu?"
"She went to the restroom."
"Oh, then we won't wait for her. When she returns, tell her to come directly to the detachment's meeting room. We're having a meeting."
Hao Hongxia quickly nodded in agreement.
After arranging matters, Captain Tao spoke a few more words to Leader Zhang, telling him to rest well. Then, he bid farewell to Du Heng and led the group out of the hospital room.
As everyone left, the hospital room quieted down, and Du Heng couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Afterward, he turned and gave Leader Zhang a few more instructions before he and Doctor Ma also left.
