Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1679 - Caught in the Crossfire

Chapter 1679: Caught in the Crossfire

“Ah? A real coin minted by the national mint as a betrothal gift? Tsk sk, that’s what I call a grand gesture! Mr. Peter, if you want to propose to your sweetheart in the future, you can take it as a reference!”

Gu Nianzhi winked at Huo Shaoheng with a smile.

Her bright smile blossomed like a flower in May.

Huo Shaoheng’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. He curled the corners of his lips gave a cold and arrogant smile. “... If you’re willing to marry me, I can go back to the Soviet Mint to work something out.”

Gu Nianzhi: “?”

Did she get the wrong person?

Was this a fake Huo Shaoheng? !

Huo Shaoheng had his principles and a bottom line. How could he do something like this?!

On second thought, Huo Shaoheng was talking about the “Soviet Mint Bureau”. He was obviously speaking as Peter, the trump card of the Far East...

Gu Nianzhi humphed appropriately. “How could you bargain for this? It’s obvious that you’re just being perfunctory. You said you were sincere. Is this your so-called sincerity?”

Huo Shaoheng smiled faintly and did not continue.

It had never crossed his mind to do anything like this. All that he was thinking about at that moment was the eleven round gold coins.

He had been searching for them for a long time and had since stopped the search.

As expected, he would have to go back to where it came from to figure it out.

The experts from the other world took years to uncover the true meaning of the loopy letters.

However, when Huo Shaoheng found out that it was He Chengjian and Qin Suwen’s wedding souvenir, Huo Shaoheng understood right away.

Happy, Calm, Justice. If the first letters of each word were put together, it would be HCJ, the initials of He Chengjian’s name.

Similarly, for Queen, Super, Wonder, the initials were QSW, which was Qin Suwen’s name.

He Chengjian had carved their names under 1314, which meant forever.

Huo Shaoheng’s hands were still in his pockets. His fingers were mingling with the coins as he followed Gu Nianzhi into the elevator, expressionless.

Several groups of people had already gone down.

Gu Nianzhi and the others were one of the last groups to go down.

When they arrived at the CT room of the hospital, Gu Nianzhi saw that the third floor was already packed with soldiers and not just anyone would be allowed entry.

Gu Nianzhi was no ordinary person. When she arrived, she was allowed immediate entry into the room together with Huo Shaoheng by the soldiers who were on guard at the door.

The people who were blocked shouted in dissatisfaction, “Why are they allowed to go in and not us ?!”

“They are the chief’s lawyer, what are you?” The soldiers on guard with guns said with a stern face. Although they did not dare point their guns at the crowd, they were intimidating enough.

When the crowd heard that the one entering was He Chengjian’s lawyer, the clamor stopped. However, they craned their necks and stood on tiptoes, hoping to have a glimpse of the situation through the crack of the door that opened suddenly.

CT, or Computed Tomography, was known as a Computed Tomography scan. It could be an X-ray scan or an ultrasound scan.

In the CT room, the atmosphere was tense. Even the air was heavy.

Gu Nianzhi walked in. The first thing she saw was the CT machine that was as tall as a human.

It was like a silver-white doughnut, standing on a huge base in the middle of the room.

In front of it was a board the size of a single-bed.

During the CT scan, the patient would lie on the long board and would be gradually sent into the circle in the middle of the doughnut to be scanned.

In other words, the CT machine itself was a source of infrasound.

It was not in operation and there was a large gauze disc in front of the “Doughnut.”.

Gu Nianzhi looked around the CT room curiously, but she could not figure out where the infrasound source was.

He Chengjian was standing next to the CT machine, staring at the host of the CT machine, the “Doughnut.”.

Gu Nianzhi wondered if the infrasound source in this CT machine had been modified.

As her thoughts ran wild, He Chengjian ordered, “Smash It!”

“You can’t smash It! This is a medical equipment! Do you know how many people depend on it to save their lives? !”

A doctor in a white coat stared at He Chengjian angrily, “General He! You can’t do this!”

He Chengjian turned a deaf ear to his words. He didn’t bother to look at him, let alone explain himself.

A few engineers quickly walked over to the “Doughnut” with tools in their hands. They started to attack the large gauze disc in front of the “Doughnut”.

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes lit up. This large gauze disc was actually an amplifier for the infrasound emission source?

She walked over quickly to the doctor who was about to pounce over and block the “Doughnut” machine with her body. She said, “Don’t worry, wait for our chief to perform a magic trick for you.”

As she said “magic trick”, Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help thinking of Lu Jin, and it warmed her heart.

A child with a father was indeed a treasure...

When the doctor saw that the engineering soldiers had moved the large, muslin disc in front of him instead of the CT machine, he let out a sigh of relief and muttered, “Can you not say another word? Would it kill you to explain with another word?”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and winked at him. “You have to try and appreciate the meaning of the leader’s words...”

It didn’t take long for the engineers to remove the gauze disc baffle. They then proceeded to remove the huge base of the “Doughnut”.

They had already detected what was in the base and they removed it with ease. It was faster than removing the gauze disc baffle.

When he saw that there was a silver-gray cylindrical machine hidden in the base of the CT machine, the doctor was completely dumbfounded.

“How can this be? How can this be? Where did this come from?” The doctor looked extremely pitiful in a panicky state. He did not seem to be faking it at all.

Gu Nianzhi felt that he was unlucky as he happened to be the doctor in this CT room.

Now that something had gone wrong in Room C and T, he had to take the responsibility.

The silver-gray cylindrical machine was the source of the infrasonic wave, and the gauze disc baffle was actually the amplifier of the infrasonic wave source.

Gu Nianzhi went up to take a look and clicked her tongue. “This is amazing. It’s such a high-powered infrasonic wave source. No wonder it utilised so much electricity.”

He Chengjian stood still where he was, but the anger in his eyes was undisguised.

This was the thing that had made the son’s life a living hell!

He pointed at the infrasound source and amplifier on the ground and said in a low voice, “Look again! There should be two. Take this one with you! Seal the entire hospital!”

The medical staff who stood next to him turned pale with fright and said quickly, “General He, I can understand why you sealed this CT room, but what about the patients? What if someone falls sick?”

“What do we do?”Gu Nianzhi was eloquent and immediately acted as his “lawyer.” “Is this the only hospital in the country? If we leave this hospital, will everyone die of illness?”

The medical staff were stunned and lost for words.

Gu Nianzhi turned to He Chengjian’s personal secretary. “The hospital is sealed. Will the patients be affected?”

He Chengjian’s personal secretary explained, “the people who are inside will not be affected. However, those from outside will not be able to come in, and those already in here will not be able to go out.”

It was like being locked up.

They would be caught in the crossfire.

Gu Nianzhi gave it some thought and asked again, “Will the hospital be open after the investigation?”

He Chengjian replied, “It seems that the regulations of private hospitals are limited now. This is a major issue that concerns the national economy and people’s livelihood. We should restrict the Qin corporation from operating so many private hospitals. I will propose to the senate and the cabinet for an investigation to clean up all the private hospitals in the country and have them punished. The ones that fall below standards will be closed and punished according to the law. At the same time, we will strengthen the regulations of private hospitals. We cannot allow this place to become extra-legal for regulation!”

This was in response to Wen Shouyi’s argument that private hospitals were “private property” and were sacred and inviolable.

Gu Nianzhi applauded, “I support General He! If we want to earn from operating private hospitals, we must accept strict supervision. We can’t use ‘private property’ as a shield to refuse supervision while we talk about saving lives and helping the injured. It will make it easier for them to commit crimes.”

“Putting the lives of the people in the hands of a private hospital without supervision is being irresponsible to the citizens. It is a government’s failure!”

In the live video, Gu Nianzhi’s words were once again given frenzied applause from the ‘tech nerds’ fans.

Private hospitals were indeed “outlawed” in this country. On one hand, they were not as strictly regulated as public hospitals. On the other hand, they had a huge team of lawyers and security guards, the “professional doctors” who were showing off in front of the public hospitals were as obedient as their grandsons.

Some of the “professional doctors” were accepting bribes from the private hospitals and deliberately causing trouble in the public hospitals.

The Qin private hospital, which was considered a private hospital with the best reputation, had also made such a serious mistake.

Xie Qingying looked at the camera on live broadcast with a heavy heart. She said, “If the Qin private hospital dares to plot against someone of status like General He, what about the commoners who are treated like dirt? Will anyone still dare to come to the Qin private hospital for treatment?”

Reputation is important in the healthcare industry.

With Xie Qingying’s words, the reputation built by the Qin private hospital over the past few decades had collapsed like an avalanche.

During the time, all the patients of the Qin private hospital across the country had requested to be discharged. Those who wanted to seek consultation as patients had changed their minds. At the same time, some patients had started to file for a class action lawsuit and demanded sky-high compensation from the Qin private hospital.

Wen Shouyi, who was in the meeting room, received one call after another from the person-in-charge of the subordinate hospital. Gradually, her expression became unsightly.

“To take responsibility? To compensate? Do we fear a lawsuit? Face them in court!” Wen Shouyi said in an irritable tone.
