Chapter: 2509

Wang Dongxue suddenly realized that her previous words had indeed offended Director Chen's medical ethics, and hurriedly apologized: "Director Chen, I'm really sorry...... I was too hasty, so I took this approach; please don't mind it......"

Director Chen nodded slightly and said: "Wang, your emotions are understandable. In our daily practice, family members of patients usually come to pay us off-color money; if we don't take it, they'll feel like we're not using our hearts to treat their loved ones......"

"So, when we encounter such situations, we generally receive the red envelopes before surgery and then quietly let the nurses hand them over to the hospital's finance department. After the surgery is completed, the money will be directly credited to the patient's account. By the time the patient processes discharge procedures, this amount will be refunded back to the family member's hands, allowing the family members to feel at ease during the surgery."

Wang Dongxue said with regret: "Director Chen, I'm really sorry; I was too bold......"

Director Chen smiled and waved his hand dismissively: "No big deal, no big deal. As for the kidney source issue, you don't have to worry about it; I'll definitely give it my all."

"Good." Wang Dongxue nodded slightly and said: "That's fine then, Director Chen. I won't bother you with work anymore. If there's any progress, please feel free to contact me anytime."

Director Chen nodded and said: "Alright, I'll let you know if anything develops."

Just then, someone burst in looking panicked and exclaimed: "Director Chen, major news! The patient in room one has finally gotten a clear test result!"

Upon hearing that it's Room One, Wang Dongxue immediately realized he was talking about his own father and hastily asked: "How did the patient in Room One test out?"

The person looked at Wang Dongxue and then at Director Chen, unsure what to say.

Director Chen urged him: "Li, just tell me what you found without beating around the bush!"

The person finally rushed to say: "Well, the laboratory first tested the patient's blood from Room One and found an excess of mercury. Then they sent the sample to the Forensic Department for further testing for toxic substances, and the result showed a large amount of 'Mercuric Chloride'!"

"What?! Mercuric Chloride?! Are you certain it's Mercuric Chloride?!"

"Yes, I'm sure!" The person hurriedly said: "The police suspect someone may have poisoned them, so they're preparing to file a case and expect the authorities to arrive soon."

Wang Dongxue was shocked pale, asking: "Director Chen, what is Mercuric Chloride?"

Director Chen explained: "Mercuric Chloride is a highly toxic inorganic substance. This substance has extremely high toxicity, with an average of one gram per kilogram of body weight needed to reach the lethal dose! For an adult male weighing 80 kilograms, only 80 milligrams are required."

Wang Dongxue asked again: "What is the lethal dose?"

Director Chen said: "The lethal dose refers to the toxicological monitoring standard in medicine and chemistry. For example, using one hundred white mice to test the toxicity of Mercuric Chloride, once it exceeds one milligram per kilogram and reaches the required time, fifty of the mice will die. This amount is called the lethal dose."

Director Wang exclaimed: "This kind of substance only needs a few tens of milligrams to take someone's life!?"

Chen Director nodded slightly, his expression grave: "This stuff is extremely toxic, especially in terms of kidney damage. It's like being attacked by Hundred-Grass Drying, where there's almost no medicine that can save them..."

Wang Dongxue suddenly became tense and exclaimed: "How did my father take this kind of toxic substance? Our family has never had any contact with such hazardous chemicals..."

Chen Director said seriously: "Since the police are investigating, it's possible that someone intentionally poisoned him!"

"Toxic?" Wang Dongxue asked in doubt. "My father spent half his life teaching and educating, with honors overflowing like a ripe peach tree, without anyone to dispute. So why would someone poison him?"

Chen Director hurriedly said: "Wang, this kind of thing is no use relying on speculation. We must rely on the police's deep investigation to find out who was behind it..."

Just as they were talking, the office door was pushed open and a few stern-looking policemen in uniform walked in. JrNovels.com
