Seeing Xu Wenyao not taking the envelope she handed over, Li Yan immediately became anxious.
She knew that Xu Wenyao had previously been very polite to her family, and he had even taken the initiative to treat them to a meal.
Now that she was making a gesture of goodwill, she should have given enough face to Xu Wenyao, yet he didn't play along?
Seeing Xu Wenyao impervious to her attempts, Li Yan turned to Li Guotai.
"Director Li, as you can see, I came to visit Wu Bin out of humanitarian concern. Xu Wenyao won't take the money, how about you take it?"
"I've also inquired about it, Wu Bin seems to be an orphan with a poor family background; this is also a token of my sympathy."
Li Yan's words were already hinting at Li Guotai.
After all, Wu Bin was just an orphan; they did not need to fall out with her over an orphan.
Li Guotai could certainly read between the lines of Li Yan's words.
However, he too did not accept the red envelope but said indifferently, "Madam Li, you don't need to worry about this. Wu Bin is a patient under our hospital's special care, so his medical expenses will be handled by us."
"As for your child, well, he still needs a good education."
Experts spar with restraint.
Li Guotai was not a judge; he could not judge Zhao Hao from a legal perspective.
But as an elder, it was not a problem for him to critique Zhao Hao.
Li Yan had not expected Li Guotai and Xu Wenyao to both refuse to give her face.
This was really bizarre!
Just a university student who was an orphan, was he worth such attention?
Just when Li Yan was very angry, her husband Zhao Han made a phone call.
"I heard people saying that Xiaohao has caused trouble at school? What happened?"
Zhao Han was a well-known entrepreneur with an extensive network and acquaintances with many people.
This was also why Li Yan knew Li Guotai and Xu Wenyao, because she often accompanied Zhao Han to various banquets.
Knowing her husband's temper, Li Yan spoke calmly, "Oh, it's nothing big, just kids fighting, and then one kid got too angry and ended up in the hospital."
"Hospitalized over a fight?"
Zhao Han furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat skeptical.
Are there really such fragile people in the world?
"Did Xiaohao curse at him?"
Li Yan glanced at Zhao Hao, who quickly turned his head away, not daring to make eye contact with her.
Li Yan was frustrated with him.
Seeing Zhao Hao's reaction, she knew for sure that he must have cursed at someone!
Li Yan took a deep breath and changed her approach.
"Kids will be kids, and sometimes they trade a few insults when they argue; surely we're not to bear legal responsibility for that, are we?"
"Don't worry about this, I can handle it."
Without waiting for Zhao Han to ask more, Li Yan hung up the phone.
Sitting in his office, Zhao Han felt increasingly uneasy.
If it were really just a trivial matter, there was no need for Li Yan to make a special trip.
No, he had to go and see for himself.
Zhao Han grabbed his car keys and hurriedly left the office.
...
Two hours later, the doors of the operating room opened.
A group of specialists walked out, seemingly still discussing something.
For Li Guotai and He Bingbing, such a situation was no longer strange.
After all, to them, Wu Bin was like a guinea pig with a genetically unique physique, so making some new findings during surgery was quite normal.
Li Guotai asked, "How did the surgery go, was it successful?"
An elderly professor with graying hair shook his head.
"Wu Bin's cerebral infarction is more severe than we thought. Although we have done our utmost to resolve the issue, due to prolonged insufficient blood supply to his brain, multiple regions of his brain will certainly be affected."
"It is also possible... he might become a vegetative state."
Upon hearing what the professor said, everyone was shocked!
Netizens were outright flabbergasted.
"No way, my bro Wu with his divine protection, just like that, he's gone?"
"It's already very lucky, with a heart attack, poisoning, blindness, and now this old blockage; honestly, I think it's a miracle he's lived up until now."
"It feels like King Yan desperately wants to take him, but just can't manage to."
"Being in a vegetative state is the most tragic thing, seems alive, but is actually already dead."
"This outcome is too tragic, I do not accept it! Can we go back and redo the surgery!"
"Dude, do you think the hospital is owned by your family, to say surgery can just be redone like that?"
"If Wu Bin truly became a vegetable because of anger, then Zhao Hao definitely cannot escape the blame."
When Zhao Hao heard that Wu Bin might become vegetative, he turned pale with fear.
After all, he was the instigator of the father-son gamble from the beginning, and those two traitors were bought off by him!
Everything stemmed from him!
If they really decided to get serious, he certainly couldn't detach himself from responsibility!
It was just a game at first, a common father-son scheme, just a minor matter.
But now with Wu Bin's condition being so serious, a small matter had turned into a major one.
Xu Wenyao looked very unsettled.
He had not expected Wu Bin to not pull through this time, and to directly become vegetative!
He had originally planned to use Wu Bin's popularity for a sensational reform!
Now great, Wu Bin became vegetative directly, how can the reform proceed?
Li Guotai looked even worse.
Their hospital's innate guinea pig holy body, just like that, turned vegetative because of Zhao Hao's provocation?
Damn it, Li Guotai felt like committing murder!
"Let's move Wu Bin back to the ward first, we will ensure justice for him."
The experts nodded and wheeled Wu Bin back to the ward.
Realizing that the atmosphere was off, Li Yan tugged at Zhao Hao's clothes, preparing to take him out first.
Little did they know, just at that moment, Zhao Han, who had heard the news, hurried over.
"Unfilial son, you really want to anger me to death!"
Before Zhao Hao could react, Zhao Han gave him a fierce slap, landing it squarely on his face!
Seeing Zhao Hao being hit, Li Yan immediately protected him, angrily saying, "Have you gone mad, Zhao Han! What does this have to do with Xiao Hao, why are you hitting him!"
Zhao Han was like an enraged lion.
"Our company's official flagship store is being hammered by negative comments, and you still say it has nothing to do with him?"
"You better get out of the way, or else I'll hit you too!"
After Zhao Han's explanation, Li Yan realized the gravity of the situation.
It turned out that when netizens found out that the whole incident was instigated by Zhao Hao because of his rich second-generation status, they started digging up Zhao Hao's background online.
Soon, his father Zhao Han's personal information was exposed by netizens.
Engaged in import and export trade, he had a large online store and his own company brand.
The netizens couldn't sit still anymore.
They didn't have the power to judge Zhao Hao, but they did have the power to leave a few negative reviews in Zhao Han's store and curse people out in the comment section.
Zhao Han had never encountered such a scenario before, so the company's flagship store was instantly overrun by netizens, and its reputation plummeted!
