The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 268: Chapter 268 Qingwu Boldly Protects Second Brother Chapter 268: Chapter 268 Qingwu Boldly Protects Second Brother Shen Zhongshuang became anxious in an instant. He rushed over to examine Qingwu carefully, “Xiao Wu, were you hurt in the mountains and didn’t dare to tell the family?”

“Second Brother, calm down. I’m not the patient being rushed to the emergency.”

She was still standing right in front of Shen Zhongshuang, perfectly fine.

“Besides, my sister and I aren’t the same blood type.”

Chen Jianhong removed his mask, “The one being rescued is Dr. Chao’s trainee, Xiao Lu. She attempted suicide by cutting her wrists. Though she was saved, her will to live is too weak; she needs careful monitoring.”

Shen Zhongshuang frowned and said, “Then why was Xiao Wu in the operating room?”

Chen Jianhong calmly explained without a hint of embarrassment, “I noticed Qingwu has a knack for medicine. I intended to have her learn clinical skills. I’ve already signed off on all the necessary paperwork.”

Qingwu didn’t need Chen Jianhong to take her to the operating room; she just didn’t want to reveal her reputation as a medical prodigy and always borrowed Chen Jianhong’s name to open the OR.

Shen Zhongshuang became even more puzzled!

“Why don’t I know that Xiao Wu likes to study medicine?”

Qingwu raised an eyebrow slightly, avoiding the topic.

“Why did Dr. Lu choose to commit suicide?”

The nearby sobbing trainee took out a suicide note found in Dr. Lu’s pocket.

“She was too exhausted, said she just couldn’t take it anymore…”

The handwriting on the note was elegant, written in beautifully neat script, each word conveying a touch of character.

“I’m sorry, I’m not a qualified workhorse.”

“I’m so tired. I could have taken a holiday, but why do I still have to work overtime?”

“Endless medical records, endless surgeries to assist, never able to learn anything, always just doing odd jobs.”

“I can’t go home for the New Year. I haven’t slept well in over seventy hours.”

“I’m so tired, my heart feels like it’s going to explode, yet why am I still required to work?”

“I can finally rest well. Goodnight.”

“This world is great, but I will not come again next time.”

…

The suicide note wasn’t long, but every word bore down on the page, showing that Dr. Lu was indeed in despair when writing it!

The trainee cried until she was gasping.

“Why would she have such a narrow-minded view…? We were clearly about to finish our training, and the future would obviously get better…”

Qingwu handed her a pack of tissues, her gaze landing on Shen Zhongshuang.

“Second Brother, has your hospital always exploited trainees like this?”

Shen Zhongshuang shook his head.

“No, at least with the trainees that Professor Chen and I supervise, we observe proper holidays. The medical records are endless to write, no need for students to overwork themselves.”

A middle-aged doctor in a white coat came down from another operating room, and upon hearing the news, he hurried over to this OR.

“How is she? Is she alright? Why did this child take things so hard…”

The person was Dr. Lu’s mentor, Chao Run.

Qingwu fixed her gaze on Chao Run and said blandly, “It’s because you didn’t let her rest and exploited her value that she couldn’t handle it. If you really want to ask why, you should ask yourself.”

Chao Run’s face turned beet red!

“You speak nonsense! We’re all doctors, who hasn’t been through that phase? Did I make her stay up writing medical records? That’s because she’s not competent enough! I didn’t need to stay up late to write them!”

“I could endure being on the operating table for three days and nights, she’d just write a medical record, so why would she want to die for that?”

“You young people today are too fragile, selfish!”

In Chao Run’s view, Dr. Lu simply couldn’t handle the pressure.

Which doctor has not been through this phase?

Even a genius like Shen Zhongshuang was tormented during his training, no?

Only Shen Zhongshuang was exceptionally strong and had a strong family background, so his training period was cut in half.

“Not everyone is Shen Zhongshuang. Ordinary people have to climb up step by step!”

“If you can’t handle a bit of adversity without faith, and can’t endure hardship as a doctor, you should probably change careers sooner!”

Qingwu frowned slightly, looking at Dr. Chao Run, who kept talking and refused to admit any fault.

She said calmly, “If you have such faith, then have your own child become a doctor, not resting during training, writing reports while on call twenty-four hours a day. Would you agree to that?”

As a trainee under Chao Run, there was an unspoken rule that you needed to be on call at all times.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t get a training certificate, and your subsequent studies and work plans would fall apart!

Students could only endure, but not all of them could bear it.

When rescuing, Qingwu noticed that Dr. Lu’s body was already on the brink of collapse.

Even if she didn’t choose suicide, there was a high possibility she would suddenly die on the job!

Chao Run: “…”

If it were his child becoming a doctor, of course, he wouldn’t agree!

Qingwu saw he was speechless and gave a mocking smile.

“Not willing? Then did you ever think that those you exploited are also someone’s children?”

Chao Run snapped, “What do you know! Being a trainee means it has to be like this!”

Shen Zhongshuang pulled Qingwu to his side, looking at him coldly and cautiously.

“Dr. Chao, my trainees are not like this and have successfully completed their training. If Dr. Chao believes one must be exploited to improve, I will apply to the hospital to send Dr. Chao to aid in Africa to enhance yourself.”

To Africa? If he really went to Africa, all promotions in the hospital would be out of his reach!

Qingwu’s eyes carried a hint of coldness.

“Dr. Chao took students’ papers and put his own name on them, winning quite a few awards. Several papers’ corresponding authors seem to be Mrs. Chao, no?”

“As far as I know, Mrs. Chao is not a scholar in the medical field, yet she manages to write such impressive papers, pretty surprising.”

Upon hearing this, cold sweat ran down Chao Run’s head!

He had been exploiting students for quite some time, but wasn’t this a common practice in the industry?

Shen Shaojia was furious, “As a fellow researcher, what I despise most are academic scoundrels like you! Dr. Chao, is it? I’ll formally report you now.”

Being also in research, Shen Shaojia had some influence in the field. Once he reported Chao Run, all of his papers would be under strict investigation.

By then, everything would be over!

Chao Run gritted his teeth, his chubby legs trembling!

“Shen Zhongshuang, aren’t you just vying for a title with me, trying to frame me? Let me tell you, I’m not afraid…”

“What gives you the right to send me to Africa? Even if you report, you can’t make baseless accusations. I can still accuse your Shen Family of covering the sky with one hand! Why is Shen Zhongshuang always the one to excel in evaluations?”

He had already forgotten that he and Shen Zhongshuang weren’t even in the same league of surgeons.

Chao Run tried to reassure himself; even though Shen Shaojia was a researcher, it wasn’t the same field.

Qingwu bowed her head, her fingers tapping on her phone screen.

Half a minute later, everyone’s phones suddenly rang. Looking down, they saw a report initiated by Beidou Star Laboratory!

“Report: Academic misconduct by surgeon Chao Run of Beijing’s Third People’s Hospital, exploitation leading to student suicide.”

“Reporter: Beidou Star Ziwei.”
