CHAPTER 579: CHAPTER 579: INCONSISTENT WITH CORE SOCIAL VALUES

"Ah? Thank you, sister-in-law, you are the best sister-in-law in the whole world!"

Who said flattery doesn’t get you anywhere?

Just a little sweet talk and everything you want is delivered right to your door.

Lu Jing couldn’t help but smile broadly:

"Alright, alright."

Keep it low-key.

Just as he was saying this, the phone rang.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Good day, Doctor Lu, this is Officer Xiao Lian from the police station."

Wasn’t she the female police officer from last night?

Of course, Lu Jing remembered:

"Officer Xiao Lian? Hello, hello, what can I do for you?"

She surely wouldn’t call without a reason.

"Doctor Lu, this is the situation, this afternoon we will need you to come to the station to speak with the family."

About what?

It all comes down to responsibility assignment and compensation.

But if the judicial assessment finds no issues, surely the hospital won’t take the blame for nothing.

Lu Jing paused before responding:

"Okay, what time in the afternoon?"

"Three o’clock."

"Alright, I’ll be there on time."

"Ah, thank you. We’ll see you this afternoon, Doctor Lu."

"Okay, see you this afternoon."

Jiang Yuan might be young, but she is quite perceptive. She could tell right away that there was something off in her sister-in-law’s voice and demeanor:

"Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?" she asked.

I hope nothing’s wrong.

Worries of all kinds began to occupy her mind.

She even considered whether she should mention it to her biological mother.

But on second thought, it seemed her own brother wasn’t reacting much, so the issue probably wasn’t too serious.

Otherwise, her brother would have already taken action!

She knew her brother well, being his sister.

Seeing the worry on Jiang Yuan’s face, Lu Jing explained:

"Last night, we had a child in our hospital’s operating room who didn’t make it, and now all parties are working to resolve the issue."

"Ah?"

That’s...

For the average person, it’s quite rare to encounter such incidents, so it was rather shocking.

"Was it a doctor’s fault?"

"No, the child was too severely injured, and the doctors simply couldn’t do anything.

No sooner had they opened the skull, the blood vessels burst, and blood gushed out."

How many cc of blood does a little child have in their body?

In less than a minute, at least more than half of the blood in the body was lost.

In such a short time, no emergency measures would have been of any use.

After all, even in emergency situations, recovery takes time.

The little girl’s condition was truly critical.

Listening, Jiang Yuan grimaced but looked deeply sympathetic:

"Sister-in-law, you must be very upset, right?"

Of course.

"Yeah, a precious life indeed."

Though as a doctor one might be accustomed to life and death, people are still human and have emotions.

Jiang Yuan pursed her lips:

"Sister-in-law, I think in these situations, it’s not really your fault, so don’t be too hard on yourself."

What Lu Jing didn’t say was that the child’s severe injuries were likely caused by someone closest to them at home.

Such matters greatly deviate from social core values, so he didn’t tell Jiang Yuan.

"Mm, let’s not talk about that anymore, the Fish Restaurant you mentioned should be just ahead."

Jiang Yuan followed his gaze:

"Yes, here we are, sister-in-law, park over there, it’s less crowded."

"Ok."

....

On one hand, Lu Jing received a call. On the other hand, Jiang Ye had received a call even earlier and had already left from the fire brigade.

He had arranged to meet Lao Zhu at a private restaurant, accompanied by two lawyer friends who they got along with well.
