nRegardless of whether it was facilities, doctors, or the skills the medical staff possessed, This Place Hospital stood at the top of the industry.

nPerhaps this was the only hospital in the world that could cure Lu Ze without a kidney transplant.

n

n

nAfter Lu Yaohua and Tang Wenyi spent several days and nights establishing contact with the hospital for Lu Ze, who had been to many hospitals, they finally got an appointment.

nTang Wenyi put on light makeup to hide her fatigue.

nBefore she left, she gently caressed Lu Ze’s face. “Even without that bastard’s kidney, my precious son will still survive. Dad and mom will go find a doctor for you now.”

nThere was only silence in response.

n

n

n“Wait for mom to come back.”

nShe closed the door gently. This time, she was determined to win!

nNo matter how much money she had to pay, she wanted her son to survive!

nShe held Lu Yaohua’s arm and said, “Let’s go.”

n

n

nThe two of them drove their luxury car to the destination.

nThis Place Hospital was located in the eastern part of Shanghai. It could be said that the entire area belonged to this hospital.

nHence, everyone was talking about the boss behind the scenes.

nThey wondered who was so generous as to build such a huge hospital.

nIt was still a mystery.

nUnsurprisingly, the people who came here were all upper-class people who donned branded clothes.

n

n

nThe hall that they entered seemed very empty. After all, visits were by appointment only.

nLu Yaohua and Tang Wenyi took the elevator to the sixth floor.

nThey saw three or four people sitting on a bench, waiting for the staff in the office to receive them.

nThey had just sat down when a young woman carrying an LV bag walked out.

nShe was sighing miserably.

nWhen Tang Wenyi saw her, her eyes lit up. Mindful not to speak too loudly, she said, “Mdm. Hou.”

nHou Yitong followed the voice and covered her mouth in surprise. “Ms. Tang?”

nShe walked over and asked, “Why are you here?”

n

n

n“It’s all because of my son. I have no choice but to transfer him to another hospital now. This is my last hope.”

nTang Wenyi asked tiredly, “What about you?”

n“Because of what happened to my husband. His leg… well, just thinking about it worries me.”

nHou Yitong paused for a moment before she continued, “I think we should forget about it. We waited for nothing. The quota is full. I heard from some sources that there was a vacancy here. In the end, the chief physician said that it was filled at midnight.”

nAt this point, she herself found it hard to believe. “Midnight? Oh, my god! Who was so diligent as to come here in the middle of the night? They don’t even need to sleep.”

nTang Wenyi felt like giving up after hearing this.

nHowever, at the thought of her son lying on the hospital bed, she had no choice but to pull herself together. As long as there was a one in a million chance, she had to hang on to it tightly.

n“Is it really impossible?”

nHou Yitong saw that her eyes were bloodshot. She bent down and said softly, “It’s not that we don’t have a chance. We can throw money at them. Do you know why some people have tried to make appointments for so many years but still don’t have a seat? This chief physician has been taking money from those people in recent years.”

nIt was not that Hou Yitong had not thought of throwing money at the hospital, but her level of wealth was simply not high enough. Moreover, by her standards, probably only the Lu family could afford this kind of money.

nTang Wenyi asked uncertainly, “Is he really accepting money?”

nHou Yitong pointed to the office. “Why don’t you go in and try it out later?”

nShe straightened her back. No matter what, Tang Wenyi could be considered one of her closer friends. Since that was the case, she did not mind helping her.

n

n

n“Alright, I’ll get going first.”

n“Okay.”

nTang Wenyi sat on the chair in a daze. After a while, it was their turn.

nThe moment they entered, they saw a middle-aged man in a white overall. His triangular eyes were narrowed into slits. He looked like a scheming person.

nLu Yaohua begged, “Chief Physician Zuo, my son is in a coma because of diabetes. Can you help him? Can you admit him?”

nChief Physician Zuo spread out his hands and said, “You have to know that we can’t open up a bed just because I say so. Can’t you see that the people ahead in the queue have all failed? If that’s all you came here for, you can leave now.”

n“Chief Physician Zuo, you’re a doctor too. It’s a doctor’s duty to save lives. You don’t want to see someone die just like that, right?”

nTrying to find another way, Lu Yaohua said.

nChief Physician Zuo still looked unmoved. “Yes! It’s my duty to save the dying and heal the injured, and no matter what, I have medical ethics, and I don’t use my position for personal gain.

nIf I were to make space for you, what would the people who were rejected by me think of me? Because I didn’t treat people who were more critically ill, who would be accountable if those people died?”

nBoth Lu Yaohua and Tang Wenyi fell silent and shook their heads inwardly.

nIt seemed to them that no one knew how to do the decent thing today.

n“If you don’t have any other way, just join the queue. Everyone else is waiting in line. Anyway, you’ve been waiting for so long. One or two more days won’t make a difference.”

nWas it really a day or two?

nEveryone knew that the waiting time for the first consultation at This Place Hospital was at least half a year.

n“By then, Lu Ze would probably be dead,” Lu Yaohua thought.

nTang Wenyi had paid attention to the other method he was talking about. In other words, what Hou Yitong said earlier might be true?

nA spark of hope ignited in her heart as she said, “3,000,000 yuan—is there a bed?”

nChief Physician Zuo was delighted, but he did not show it on his face.

n“It’s not that I’m reluctant, but there are just too many patients. From what I see, just the lineup of people with appointments can go around Shanghai several times.”

n“5,000,000 yuan!”

nChief Physician Zuo was clearly hesitant.

nTang Wenyi and Lu Yaohua looked at each other. This method was feasible!

n“Sigh, it’s not that I want to say this, but recently, the hospital had a new CEO, and he is tightening hospital policies. Even if I want to, I can’t do anything about it! If I really do this and the higher-ups find out, I’ll definitely be done for!”

nHis words implied that the money was not enough.

nTang Wenyi gritted her teeth and said, “6,000,000 yuan. Do we have a spot now?”

nChief Physician Zuo said regretfully, “A few days ago, the leaders of the American headquarters came on an inspection tour. What they set out to investigate was…”

n“8,000,000 yuan!”

nShe interrupted him and said, “Chief Physician Zuo, that should be enough, right?”

nA smile formed on Chief Physician Zuo’s chubby face, and his already small eyes became even smaller. “No problem. Since the two of you are so sincere, I will transfer your son to the specialist ward and guarantee that he will become a healthy person!”

n“Thank you.”

nAt last, with smiles on their faces, they parted ways.
