The man froze upon hearing Chen Fan's voice and quickly stopped.
At this moment, almost everyone's gaze fell upon the man.
Seeing that the man was about to leave the crowd, Chen Fan asked in surprise, "Nephew, where are you going? What, you don't care about your uncle anymore?"
Noticing the strange looks from those around him, the man feigned composure, "I just wanted to go to the restroom."
He then pointed at Chen Fan and questioned, "Then I want to ask you, my uncle was fine before he came to the hospital, how could this situation suddenly occur today? Did your hospital bear no responsibility at all when my uncle almost died here?!"
Chen Fan nodded, "There is responsibility, and I never said we didn't."
Seeing Chen Fan admit it, the man immediately became emboldened and pointed at Chen Fan relentlessly, "Then don't you owe our family an explanation? Even though my uncle was saved, what about the other severely injured people? Will they face such problems in the future?!"
The crowd once again turned their attention to Chen Fan. Indeed, everyone held a skeptical attitude towards the medical skills of the psychiatric hospital.
"Director Chen!" Just then, Zhao Qianqian squeezed through the crowd.
She handed a medical report to Chen Fan.
After glancing at the report in his hand, Chen Fan's expression gradually turned grim.
"Where is it?" Chen Fan asked.
"Still in the ward."
Chen Fan instructed, "Seal off the room and call the police."
Upon hearing the word 'police,' everyone present was confused, not knowing what Chen Fan intended to do.
The man snorted, "Calling the police won't help. Regarding the sudden situation of my uncle today, if you don't give us a reasonable explanation, we will absolutely not let this go!"
The reporters standing beside the man echoed, "That's right, your hospital must give an explanation today!"
Chen Fan glanced at the aggressive man and replied, "You want an explanation? Alright, then I will give you one."
Saying this, Chen Fan handed the medical report in his hand to the man.
"What is this?" The man did not take it.
"This is the test report of your uncle's lunch. Guess what we found in it?"
"How would I know?!" Hearing the word 'lunch,' the man's expression clearly became flustered.
The reporters looked at the test report Chen Fan was offering. One of them read aloud, "The tested food components include: radish, sweet potato, soybean, mung bean, onion, garlic."
"The tested medicinal components include: Mu Xiang, Hou Po, Sha Ren."
"What are these things?"
After reading, a reporter asked in confusion.
Chen Fan replied, "Radish, sweet potato, soybean, mung bean, onion, garlic, as well as Mu Xiang, Hou Po, and Sha Ren, these foods and medicines have one commonality: they cause the human body to produce gas."
The crowd exchanged glances, appearing somewhat puzzled.
However, as soon as the man heard Chen Fan's words, his eyes widened, and he stared at the report in Chen Fan's hand in astonishment. Cold sweat even broke out on his forehead.
Chen Fan's voice rang out again, "Xu Shanguo originally had an abdominal penetrating injury, with multiple perforations and damage to the duodenum and large intestine. He could only eat liquid food that would not cause bloating. The medical advice and the meals provided by the hospital were prepared according to this standard. However, this test report was found from the residual matter extracted from Xu Shanguo's appendix."
"Furthermore, there was a thermos by Xu Shanguo's bedside, and the soup inside had the exact same composition as the extract from Xu Shanguo's appendix."
"Xu Shanguo's intestines had not yet healed. Eating such things would undoubtedly push him to his death."
"What?! You mean his problem was caused by eating these things?" The reporters on the scene looked astonished.
"You, you're talking nonsense! These must have been arranged by your hospital!" The man became agitated, pointing at Chen Fan and shouting.
Zhao Qianqian responded coldly, "The entire process from extraction to testing has audio and video recordings, which I will provide to the police. Moreover, the thermos is still in the ward, and there will undoubtedly be the perpetrator's fingerprints on it. As soon as the police arrive and review the recordings, they will know who intended to kill Xu Shanguo."
With a "thump!"
Zhao Qianqian's words caused the man's legs to go weak, and he sat down on the ground.
"Nephew, why are you so nervous? Could it be that you were the one who brought the thermos?" Chen Fan's playful gaze fell upon the man.
Cold sweat dripped from the man's forehead. He shakily stood up and retorted, "How, how could it be me! I, I am his nephew, how could I harm my uncle? I'm telling you, if you dare to slander me again, I, I will definitely sue you!"
"I'm going to the restroom," saying this, the man turned and left the crowd.
"Director Chen, I feel this matter is definitely related to him. Should we have security apprehend him?" Zhao Qianqian whispered into Chen Fan's ear.
Chen Fan shook his head, "No need. Do you think he can escape?"
"But how do we explain this to the media? What if they take things out of context, and we'll be on the headlines tomorrow," Zhao Qianqian worried.
Chen Fan said with some displeasure, "That's Dean Luo's business. We just need to do our part. Such a major incident has occurred at the hospital, and he hasn't even shown his face yet."
"Dean Luo called just now."
"What did he say?" Chen Fan asked curiously.
"He said, he said as long as you are here, the psychiatric hospital will be fine."
Chen Fan was speechless, "Alright! That guy, he's really taking it easy."
However, seeing so many reporters and media still present, Chen Fan had no choice but to step forward, "Everyone, I believe you are all clear about what happened today. Someone deliberately attempted murder. Of course, it is also partly due to our hospital's management oversight. On behalf of our dean, I apologize to everyone. Dean Luo also stated that if such a situation occurs again, he is willing to resign to take responsibility."
"Of course, we will also cooperate with the police to apprehend the real culprit and bring them to justice, giving justice to the injured party and our hospital."
Facing all the cameras, Chen Fan made a promise to everyone and conveyed the hospital's stance.
At this moment, in a room in a residential complex in the city center.
Luo Xixi sat on the sofa, holding a tablet computer, watching the live broadcast.
She had actually intended to go to the hospital to help earlier, but when Luo Yongtang learned that Chen Fan had already arrived, he simply told Luo Xixi not to go out.
At this time, Luo Yongtang came out of the bedroom, yawned, poured himself a glass of water, and asked Luo Xixi, "How is the hospital situation? Resolved?"
Luo Xixi nodded, "Mm, resolved."
"I knew it, with that kid Chen Fan there, nothing would go wrong."
Sitting on the sofa, after taking a sip of water, Luo Yongtang praised, "This kid is good, his medical skills are high, and he's upright. He's a potential successor for the future."
"Dad, you're also quite impressive," Luo Xixi gave Luo Yongtang a thumbs-up.
"Oh, since when did my daughter learn to praise people?" Luo Yongtang seemed surprised.
"I think you are very responsible. What you had Chen Fan say was very commendable."
"Words? What words?" Luo Yongtang was taken aback.
"Chen Fan just said that you stated if such a thing happened again, you would resign to take responsibility. Wasn't that what you said?"
"What?!" Luo Yongtang almost spat out a mouthful of blood and quickly snatched the tablet from Luo Xixi's hand.
