âWhat do you mean? Can you just tell me whether my daughter can be treated or not? Hurry and say it. When you tell me all this, arenât you only requesting money? Say it! I will pay whatever the price, as long as my daughter can be healed!â Mother Zhou had apparently lost her mind and her emotions had become agitated.
âMiss, weâre not talking about this. This isnât a problem about money, but this surgery has a riskâŚâ explained the doctor.
âWhat is the risk?â Mother Zhou asked urgently, âHow much money would it take to have no risk?â
When Yang Ming heard it, he found it really unbearable. He couldnât help but interrupt her words. âAuntie! Can you wake up? Do you think that if you have money, things will go smoothly? Can you listen to the doctor first?â
After being shouted at by Yang Ming, Mother Zhou regained her consciousness. She was a little embarra.s.sed about her behavior. âSorry, doctor. I was being impulsive. Can you please continue?â
The doctor nodded. Because he saw different kinds of family members every day, he didnât care. Seeing that Mother Zhouâs mood was stable, he continued, âBecause the injured personâs bullet position is special, we canât guarantee the bulletâs removal without hurting the cranial nerve. Therefore, this operation is very risky. We need the signature from a family member to perform this operation.â
â Ah !â Mother Zhou said, âWhat if it damages the nerves?â
âThis is hard to say. The nerves in the brain are very mysterious. Each one has its own different function. If a nerve is damaged, there may be quadriplegia or blindness, facial paralysis, unclear speech and more likely to affect intelligence.â The doctor explained.
âIs there any other way?â Mother Zhou asked quickly.
âEven the best brain doctor in the country, Professor Zhong Hanlin, canât do this without any risk involvedâŚâ The doctor said with some difficulty.
âThen if I invite him, is it possible to reduce the risk?â Mother Zhou said quickly.
âYes, but as soon as possible. If you can invite Mr. Zhong, itâs naturally good! But Iâm afraid that the situation of the patient is unstable. She canât hold out much longer.â The doctor said.
âOkay, okay! I know. No matter how much money, I will invite Dr. Zhong Hanlin.â Mother Zhou said immediately.
âHowever, I still have to say in advance that Teacher Zhong is very busy. Now heâs in Beijing. Money isnât the thing that can hire him. Many wealthy businessmen wanted to hire Teacher Zhong but they couldnât.â The doctor reminded politely.
â Ah ! What should I do?â Mother Zhou had a lot of money. But after listening to the doctor, she didnât know what to do. âAre you familiar with Dr. Zhong? Can you help me to contact him?â
âI know Teacher Zhong, but Teacher Zhong doesnât know me!â The doctor ridiculed himself, âI canât do anything about it. But I heard that Professor Liu Weishan of Song Jiang Industry University and Professor Zhong Hanlin are close friends. Their relations.h.i.+p is very good. When Mr. Zhong came to Song Jiang last time, he was accompanied by Professor Liu. If you have a wide network in Song Jiang, you can try to contact Professor Liu Weishan to see if he can help youâŚâ
What?! Yang Ming was stunned. What a coincidence! Liu Weishan, he is my G.o.dfather!
âThen I donât know him eitherâŚâ Mother Zhouâs business was in Donghai. In Song Jiang, besides knowing w.a.n.g Xifan, such a relatively heavyweight figure, she didnât know anyone else!
âDoctor, auntie, please wait a moment. I have something to check on.â When Yang Ming heard that his G.o.dfather actually knew Zhong Hanlin, he didnât dare to delay. He immediately wanted to call to confirm it.
âIf you have something to do, just go. Donât delay me!â It was worrisome enough for Mother Zhou hearing about her daughter. Now, she was troubled with inviting Dr. Zhong Hanlin. Yang Ming was still messing up (she thought that Yang Ming was messing up), so she said with impatience, âThe doctors are trying to treat Jiajia. What is the use of waiting for you?â
âI will call my G.o.dfather to see if there is a way!â At this moment, Yang Ming didnât bother about Mother Zhou.
âWho is your G.o.dfather?â asked Mother Zhou.
Yang Ming waved his hand and gestured that he would say it later because the phone call was already connected.
âG.o.dfather, this is Yang Ming.â Yang Ming said on the phone.
âYang Ming, why are you looking for G.o.dfather? Itâs almost Chinese New Year. Why arenât you visiting G.o.dfather?â Liu Weishanâs forthright laughter came over the phone.
âG.o.dfather, I am looking for you because there is a very important thing to ask you.â Yang Ming spoke straight to the point because Zhou Jiajiaâs things couldnât be delayed.
âWhatâs the matter? Tell me!â Liu Weishan was serious too when he heard something was serious.
âG.o.dfather, do you know Dr. Zhong Hanlin?â asked Yang Ming.
âHanlin, I know him. What happened? Why do you suddenly ask this?â asked Liu Weishan.
âItâs like this. I have a friend. Her head is injured. I want to ask him to operate on her surgery. I heard that Dr. Zhong has a good relations.h.i.+p with you, so I tried to call and ask.â Yang Ming explained.
â Oh , I understand.â Liu Weishan muttered. âI have no problem finding Hanlin, but itâs going to be Chinese New Year now. If it isnât anything important, I donât want to trouble him. After all, heâs about my age, too. What is your friendâs relations.h.i.+p with you?â
âRelations.h.i.+p⌠well, very close.â Yang Ming said, âIf I can treat her, I will do it at all costâŚâ
âWell, I will contact Zhong Hanlin.â Liu Weishan didnât say much because he already understood that this person was definitely important to Yang Ming.
âThank you, G.o.dfather.â Yang Ming smiled and hung up the phone call.
âMy G.o.dfather said he would help to contact Dr. Zhong. It shouldnât be a problem!â Hanging up the phone, Yang Ming told the doctor and Mother Zhou who were both suspicious about it.
âWho is your G.o.dfather?â Mother Zhou asked and looked at Yang Ming, baffled.
âMy G.o.dfather is Liu Weishan!â Yang Ming said, âThis is really a coincidence, otherwise, there is really no way to go about it at the moment!â
â Ya , itâs really a coincidence!â The doctor also exclaimed, âMiss, your daughter is really blessed. If Mr. Zhong can to do the surgery himself, then the success rate will increase by 50%!â
âYang Ming, thanks to your G.o.dfatherâŚâ Mother Zhou was very grateful at the moment, and for the first time, she was so polite to Yang Ming.
It didnât take long for Liu Weishan to call back. It turned out that Zhong Hanlin wasnât in Beijing, but instead, he was preparing to spend the Chinese New Year in his hometown at Amur River. Amur River was a neighboring province of Song Jiang province. They were close to each other. It only took an hour to fly there from Song Jiang
When Zhong Hanlin heard that it was Liu Weishanâs matter, he naturally agreed to it. Besides, he immediately booked a flight ticket that was half an hour later. He thought that he could visit Song Jiang later.
After listening to this news, Yang Ming and Mother Zhou were very happy. The doctor also breathed a sigh of relief. âTo tell the truth, if Teacher Zhong didnât come, we couldnât guarantee to be able to perform this operation safely!â
âThen we should go to the airport to pick up the doctor now?â Mother Zhou worried about her daughterâs safety. Naturally, she was anxious to pick up the doctor.
âTake our car.â Xia Xue said, âThe police car is at the front door. It can reach there faster and save some time.â
Yang Ming thought that, too. He originally wanted to ask the hospital to send an ambulance to pick up the doctor, because this kind of special vehicle would be free from the restrictions of traffic regulations. Of course, the police car was the same, so when Yang Ming heard Xia Xue asked with initiative, he nodded his head gladly.
After the investigation by the special task force, it was basically confirmed that w.a.n.g Xifanâs confession was true. But the amount of illegal money was still unclear. w.a.n.g Xifan was also like a fox. The accounting books only recorded the price and the batch of stock. The price of the s.h.i.+pment wasnât recorded on it. And the smuggled items varied from cars to electronics parts. They were all scattered. It wasnât so easy to estimate the price of each batch.
However, after the initial accounting, the number was still almost the same. After all, w.a.n.g Xifan didnât record the smuggling of prohibited items such as drugs. And that money was transferred by w.a.n.g Xifan to another place secretly.
However, the question of whether or not Huang Youcai partic.i.p.ated in the smuggling had become the focus of the special task force investigation. Xia Xue didnât see Huang Youcai in the whole incident. Yang Ming saw it, but he didnât want to say anything more. After all, Huang Youcai, this mad person, was very difficult to entangle. Since Yang Ming had already admitted that he had ruined Huang Youcaiâs legs, if Huang Youcai was really caught by the police, it was hard to say that Huang Youcai wouldnât tell this to them!
Therefore, Yang Ming simply pretended to know nothing. After the case was over, he could personally deal with Huang Youcai.
