Chapter 426: Chapter 425 This Is Considered a Major Accident in the Institute

His surgery last night was just a minor one, which took two hours, after which he headed back to rest.

By the time he reached the lobby, he was still secretly pleased with himself for being clever enough to have gotten rid of the troublesome patient, Lu You.

Patients like Lu You, who carried a celebrity status, were often the most troublesome for doctors. A single mishap in treatment could easily lead to an onslaught of online abuse from fans.

Especially in cases like Lu You’s, where it seemed there was no hope left, it could potentially become a stain in one’s career. It was better to hand it off to someone else sooner.

He walked into the lobby with a sense of pride, only to be met head-on by Weigus and about a dozen A-level Medical Scholars, accompanied by the dean and Liu Shu.

In an instant, he felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.

It was not until the group had passed by without a glance in his direction that he abruptly grabbed a nearby night-shift nurse and asked anxiously, “What’s going on? Did the International Medical Alliance come for an inspection last night?”

The young nurse just covered her mouth and laughed, “Doctor William, it’s really a pity you weren’t here last night! The gathering of big shots on the third floor was truly a once-in-a-century scene!”

“Was there some political dignitary staying on the third floor?” William asked, still unwilling to give up, “It couldn’t possibly have been that race car driver, could it?”

“It was him!” the nurse nodded, “His friends are even more impressive! You should have seen how shocked our dean was!”

William: “…”

He blankly let go of the nurse.

Just then, Liu Shu had finished escorting the visitors and was returning with the dean while sharing a laugh.

William patiently waited for the dean to leave, then asked Liu Shu, “Did people from the Medical Alliance really come last night?”

Liu Shu nodded, “Yes, they did, and in quite a number; over a dozen of them! Not just that, the Medical Seven Saints themselves came over! Oh, by the way, Weigus even exchanged contact details with me…”

With a laugh, he said, “I better stop talking and hurry back to check on the patients.”

Watching Liu Shu’s retreating figure, William felt a hollow emptiness within him, his vision momentarily darkening!

Of course, he knew who Weigus was…that figure who rose above the A-level Medical Scholars and was on the verge of stepping into the real management ranks!

If…if he hadn’t tried to be clever last night…

Then the one exchanging contact details with Weigus right now might have been him…

Chi Gui had stayed up all night but did not show any signs of fatigue, and had Qin Cheng take her straight to the research institute.

Fu Si wanted to suggest that she should rest, but the words didn’t make it past his lips.

Instead, as she got out of the car, he simply said, “I’ll drive over at noon; you can sleep in the car.”

Chi Gui hesitated, then did not refuse: “Then make sure to use a bigger car so it’s more comfortable to sleep.”

Fu Si chuckled softly, “Sure.”

After watching Chi Gui enter the research institute, he then instructed Qin Cheng to leave.

Inside the research institute, Chi Gui arrived a few minutes late, and everyone else was already there.

As she walked in, she saw everyone with gloomy expressions gathered around the research table, which was littered with broken glass tubes and various liquids.

This was the medication they had been working on, which had hit a bottleneck in the past few days, failing to produce the best results, so it had been temporarily shelved.

To their dismay, they arrived this morning to find everything smashed!

Seeing Chi Gui, the others quickly turned around and asked her, “As the person in charge, what do we do now?”

Although they had only started researching three days ago, they had tried at least five hundred different methods. Even though they always had backups, many minor details hadn’t been recorded, making a perfect replication virtually impossible!

Chi Gui hadn’t responded yet when Shi Liyun also walked in.

She saw the broken glass tubes and spilled liquids, a flash of concern evident in her eyes.

When she had left last night, she had noticed that this particular shelf was slightly tilted, not expecting it to topple over by this morning!

This was a major accident in the research institute, and Chi Gui, as the person in charge, was likely in trouble this time!
