However, Zhao Zihao was still very cautious. After receiving the notice, he didn’t imdiately start arranging anything. Whether the information was true or false, it was critical to confirm it first.
Sure enough, soone in the group tagged him. It was an associate professor from the cardiothoracic surgery departnt: "Dr. Zhao, you’ve interacted with Qin previously, haven’t you? Do you know anything about this matter?"
Soone chid in below: "That’s right. His wife is still the sa one as before, right? Weren’t you her mother’s attending physician? Does she have any issues this ti round?"
Doctors face imnse stress at work and deal with rotating shifts; they’re ordinary people, too. While it was a work group chat, there were occasional gossip exchanges. Especially now that such a significant social event had unfolded, the staff on duty were instructed to remain at the hospital and prohibited from leaking any information.
Still, these doctors only chatted casually in the work group. If a reporter dared to dig into them—after all, they were professionals who wouldn’t even disclose to a partner whether a patient’s premarital examination revealed HIV. They knew how to guard privacy.
Zhao Zihao replied calmly as usual: "No. Her mother has already been transferred to another hospital, and I haven’t been in contact with her for a long ti. I’ve never been involved in her personal life, so I don’t know the situation between her and Qin..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang. It was the departnt director.
When the departnt director spoke, he didn’t beat around the bush: "Dr. Zhao, do you have ti now?"
Zhao Zihao paused for a mont before nodding. "I do, Director. Is there sothing I can help with?"
"Here’s the situation. You were the attending physician for Qin’s mother-in-law, right? You are the most familiar with her condition. If she encounters any issues later, it would be helpful to have you on hand to offer so insights."
Though the group chat had been buzzing with discussions earlier, Zhao Zihao found it hard to believe. But now that the departnt director personally ntioned it, things started to seem more credible. The director was in his sixties, having devoted decades to the dical profession, and had no connections to Qin Zhiyou. This made Zhao Zihao believe it more readily, though he still wanted to test the waters: "Director, I do have ti. But I specialize in neither obstetrics and gynecology nor pediatrics. Besides, Qin’s mother-in-law transferred hospitals a long ti ago. Is it even appropriate for to show up? If the patient’s family doesn’t ask for specifically, wouldn’t it be inappropriate?"
He was concerned—since Qin Zhiyou obviously knew who he was, why would he specifically invite him over? Could it be a trap?
"What’s inappropriate about it? If you’re unavailable, it’s fine, though."
"No issue—I’ll head over right away. I’ll be there within thirty minutes." Zhao Zihao hung up the phone. This ti, he was convinced sothing had indeed happened within the Qin Family. Moreover, they had already been sent to the affiliated hospital—right under his nose. If anything occurred, he would unquestionably be the first to find out.
As he started his car, he simultaneously began making arrangents over the phone. He needed to contact Arica, while ensuring he further verified the credibility of things on this end.
If Lu Weixi were truly in trouble, this would be the sharpest weapon in his arsenal. He could use this piece of news to strike at Hanhai’s most vulnerable spot. He wanted to take advantage of Qin Zhiyou’s lack of ti to respond and completely crush him!
Keep in mind, the day after tomorrow was Saturday; tomorrow was Friday. Qin Zhiyou wouldn’t have any chance to act until next week. He was planning to hit fast and hard before Qin could react.
However, precisely because the stakes were high, Zhao Zihao knew he had to remain cautious and prudent. He couldn’t make any reckless moves. He was an experienced scher, and Qin Zhiyou was no less capable. The most dangerous scenario would be if Qin used Lu Weixi as bait to lure him into a trap!
