Doctor Lu looked at Liu Qianze in confusion. "Doctor Liu, why do I feel like you're very disappointed? Isn't it better that there's no infectious disease?"
Liu Qianze snapped back to reality, realizing he had been somewhat out of line. He explained, "I was afraid of a misdiagnosis, as their symptoms were very similar to an infectious disease."
Doctor Lu smiled and said, "You worried too much. We've tested the serum of over a dozen patients and found no viruses, so we can rule out the possibility of an infectious disease."
He then approached Dean Luo Yongtang. "Dean Luo, if there's nothing else, we'll be taking our leave and will inform them to lift the lockdown on the psychiatric hospital."
Luo Yongtang replied, "Alright, thank you for your trouble today."
Doctor Lu waved his hand and left the psychiatric hospital with the medical staff from the infectious disease hospital.
Liu Qianze's expression was extremely grim at this moment.
This was considered his first confrontation with Chen Fan in terms of medical skills, and he had lost! And he had lost to a bowl of mung bean soup! This was hard for Liu Qianze to accept.
Upon hearing the results from the infectious disease hospital doctors, the surrounding medical staff also showed looks of shock.
None of them had expected a doctoral graduate from the world's top medical university to be defeated by an undergraduate from an ordinary college!
The doctors and nurses who had previously agreed with Liu Qianze's diagnosis felt their faces flush with embarrassment.
"Dean Luo, I'll return to the examination room," Liu Qianze said to Luo Yongtang with a displeased look.
Luo Yongtang nodded. "Doctor Liu has also worked hard all morning. You should return to your examination room to rest."
In reality, everyone knew that Liu Qianze was simply feeling ashamed and had no face to stay any longer.
Upon hearing Luo Yongtang's agreement, Liu Qianze, with a dark expression, turned and left the ward.
Qin Shuran then asked, "Chen Fan, they are all inpatients at the hospital. How could they have been poisoned?"
Chen Fan replied, "Under what circumstances do you think all the patients here could be poisoned?"
Zhao Qianqian, standing nearby, saw a pot of mung bean soup in the room. "Food! They all ate the same breakfast. And we medical staff mostly eat out in the mornings and rarely eat breakfast at the hospital, so we weren't poisoned. Only the patients who ate the hospital breakfast showed symptoms of poisoning."
Chen Fan nodded. "Exactly. That's the only possibility. If it were water, some patients don't drink much water in a day, so it wouldn't affect all the patients like this."
A nurse speculated, "Could it be that the hospital's cook poisoned them?"
Luo Yongtang frowned and reprimanded, "Don't speculate wildly."
He then instructed everyone, "Until the investigation results are out, no one is to spread this matter. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Dean!" everyone nodded quickly.
"Doctor Chen, Doctor Qin, please come with me," Luo Yongtang said, heading towards his office.
In his office, Vice Dean Hou Changming and several cooks were standing, clearly preparing to investigate the patient poisoning.
"Dean Luo, it's really not us. We've worked at the hospital for nearly ten years. How could we ruin our own careers!" the head cook quickly explained.
"Old Yang, I know it's not you. Tell us about the situation at the time. Did anything suspicious happen?" Vice Dean Hou Changming asked.
The head cook thought for a moment. "Nothing suspicious happened."
Chen Fan, who had been silent, asked, "Were there any outsiders entering or leaving the kitchen?"
Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, the head cook's eyes lit up, and he nodded. "Yes, today a patient's family member borrowed our kitchen, saying they wanted to cook some food for the patient."
"A patient's family member? Who?" Luo Yongtang asked.
"It seems, it seems her name is Cui."
"Yang Cuifen, head cook, you even said that person's name was unpleasant!" another cook said.
"Yang Cuifen?!" Chen Fan was stunned.
Da Xiong had been at the underground casino, and they had just returned to the hospital. Where would Yang Cuifen's family member come from?!
"Not good!" Thinking of this, Chen Fan and Qin Shuran exchanged glances and rushed out of the dean's office.
Luo Yongtang seemed to have also realized something and hurried after them.
"Bang!"
When Chen Fan burst into Yang Cuifen's ward, the door was violently pushed open.
"Damn it, can't you see? Don't you know there's... Chen, Doctor Chen?" The cursing in the room stopped abruptly, followed by a surprised voice.
Chen Fan didn't have time to explain. He rushed to Yang Cuifen's side and asked, "Did you eat the breakfast delivered by the hospital today?"
Yang Cuifen looked at Chen Fan in surprise and then shook her head.
With Da Xiong in trouble today, she didn't want to live, let alone eat.
"Doctor Chen, I was in trouble today, and she hasn't eaten a bite of food. I was just about to go to the kitchen to heat up this breakfast for her," Da Xiong explained to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan said, "This food is cold, so don't eat it. Go out and buy your wife a hot one."
After speaking, without waiting for Da Xiong and the others to agree, he picked up the already cold breakfast from the table and poured it into the trash can.
Da Xiong stared at Chen Fan in a daze. Wasn't this a waste of food?!
But facing the benefactor who had saved him so many times, he didn't dare to say anything more, only watching helplessly as Chen Fan threw away the food.
At this moment, Qin Shuran and Dean Luo also arrived.
"Doctor Chen, is, is something wrong?" Yang Cuifen asked Chen Fan, seeing the tense expressions on everyone's faces.
"It's nothing, don't worry," Chen Fan replied.
Just then, Hou Changming arrived with a surveillance video.
"Yang Cuifen, look at the person in the video. Do you recognize them?" Hou Changming asked Yang Cuifen, holding up his phone.
Yang Cuifen looked at the person in the video and shook her head. "No, I don't. Who is this person?"
Everyone exchanged glances. Chen Fan said, "Someone at the hospital lost something. We wanted to ask if you've seen this person. It's nothing else. Da Xiong, come out with me for a moment."
Da Xiong quickly followed Chen Fan out of the ward. "Doctor Chen, what are your orders?"
Chen Fan said with a heavy expression, "Someone poisoned the hospital's food today. Fortunately, your wife didn't eat this meal, otherwise, your child might not have been saved."
"What? Damn it! If I find out who did this, I'll kill them!" Da Xiong's face immediately showed anger.
Luo Yongtang said, "Don't worry. Our hospital has already called the police. I believe we'll have results soon."
Chen Fan also cautioned, "During this period, take good care of your wife at the hospital. Don't go anywhere."
Da Xiong nodded. "Yes, Doctor Chen, I won't let Cuifen get hurt!"
At this moment, in a VIP ward of Jiangcheng First Hospital.
A young man with both legs amputated lay on the bed with a sinister expression. This young man was none other than Xiao Ran, who had his legs amputated.
Xiao Ran's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID, answered, and asked, "How did the job go?"
"Young Master Xiao, there was a problem."
