Chapter 18 Qin Zhengxiong, Poisoned
Chapter 18 Qin Zhengxiong, Poisoned
After leaving Jiang Xinlan's house, Shen Yu walked slowly along the tree-lined path in the community, his fingertips gently stroking the ground.
One hundred million may seem like a lot, but for him, it's just a trivial matter.
Just as he was pondering whether to go to the antique street to find a bargain or to turn a stone into gold and cash out, his phone rang in his pocket. The caller was none other than Lu Zongming.
As soon as the call connected, Lu Zongming's respectful yet anxious voice rang out:
"Mr. Shen, I apologize for bothering you! There's a matter of life and death at stake, and I desperately need your help!"
"Speak," Shen Yu said calmly, without stopping his steps.
"It's Mr. Qin Zhengxiong from the Qin Group in Jiangcheng!"
Lu Zongming's tone became even more urgent.
"Old Qin is the pillar of Jiangcheng's business community, and also my trusted elder brother. Yesterday, he suddenly fell into a coma at home. We consulted with top domestic and international cardiology and neurology experts more than a dozen times, but we still couldn't save him."
Her vital signs are plummeting, and the doctor privately says she might not make it past tonight at the latest!
He paused, his tone full of pleading:
"The Qin family is in complete chaos right now. Young Master Qin Feng is frantic. I mentioned your medical skills to him, and he wants you to give it a try! Fees are absolutely not a problem; whatever price you name, the Qin family will accept it without hesitation!"
Qin Group.
Shen Yu's eyes flickered slightly. He had heard of this name before; it was a long-established industrial tycoon in Jiangcheng, and like the Lu family, it was one of the top wealthy families in Jiangcheng.
More importantly, he had just calculated that Qin Zhengxiong's illness was not an acute condition at all, but rather a result of deliberate sabotage.
Fine, I'll just do one good deed for the day.
Send me the address, I'm coming over now.
"Yes, Mr. Shen! I'll be waiting for you at the Qin family's gate!"
Lu Zongming was overjoyed and quickly agreed.
Twenty minutes later, Shen Yu's car stopped in front of the Qin family's old residence in the top-tier villa area halfway up the mountain in Jiangcheng.
Lu Zongming was already waiting at the door. Seeing Shen Yu get out of the car, he immediately hurried over to greet him.
"Mr. Shen, you've finally arrived! It's quite a mess inside, please bear with us!"
"Lead the way." Shen Yu nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
As soon as the two entered the gate, they heard a loud argument.
Seated at the head of the table was a weeping, middle-aged woman, Liu Yuru, Qin Zhengxiong's second wife. Standing beside her was Qin Yu, the second son of the Qin family, who was also Liu Yuru's youngest son, who was hurling insults at Qin Feng, the eldest son of the Qin family.
"Brother! Are you crazy? Dad's dying, and you've brought in some damn doctor whose name I've never even heard of? Dad's whole life has been dedicated to the Qin family, he's lived a respectable life, does he really want to be used as a guinea pig before he dies?"
Qin Feng's eyes were red, and he tried hard to suppress his temper:
"Ah Yu, even the experts are helpless now. We have to try anything to save Dad! Besides, Mr. Shen is a miracle doctor that Uncle Lu vouched for with his life, he's not some fraudster! Can you please stop making a scene!"
"Try what?!" Qin Yu rolled his eyes, pointed at Shen Yu who had just entered, and sneered.
"Him? He's barely grown any hair, and he's a miracle doctor? Dude, I think you're out of your mind! He's just a fraud!"
He was surrounded by a group of experts in white coats, led by Zhou Mingyuan, a leading authority in cardiology and neurology in China, who, upon seeing this, also spoke in a sarcastic tone:
"Young Master Qin is right. We have consulted with more than a dozen top experts from home and abroad countless times regarding Old Master Qin's condition, but we have been unable to cure him. At present, we can only barely maintain his condition with the help of equipment."
"How dare this young man, who may not even have a medical license, boast that he's a miracle doctor?"
"Young Master Qin, I don't mean to be harsh, but if you really let him touch the old man and he doesn't survive, the responsibility will fall entirely on you. Can you bear that consequence?"
Zhou Mingyuan was absolutely certain that, given Qin Zhengxiong's current condition, unless a god descended to earth, there was no way he could be cured.
Qin Zhengxiong's condition wasn't multiple organ failure at all. It was because Liu Yuru added a foreign chronic neurotoxin to the health tea he drank regularly. The toxin slowly accumulated over three months, causing him to suddenly fall into a coma.
This toxin cannot be detected by routine tests; it will only show symptoms of organ failure.
At the suggestion of the mother and son, he deliberately used the wrong thrombolytic drug under the guise of a consultation, ostensibly to save Qin Zhengxiong, but in reality to hasten his death.
Once Qin Zhengxiong dies, Liu Yuru and Qin Yu will be able to take a large share of the family fortune as his second wife and youngest son, and he will also be able to get the promised 80 million yuan kickback.
Although he was certain that Shen Yu would not discover Qin Zhengxiong's abnormality, he did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
They absolutely cannot let Shen Yu, this kid who suddenly appeared, ruin their plans!
The surrounding experts echoed their sentiments, their gazes towards Shen Yu filled with skepticism and disdain.
"Exactly! Director Zhou is a leading figure in cardiology and neurology in China. Even he gave this disease a death sentence. What can this kid do?"
"So young and already doing bad things, daring to come to a top-tier wealthy family to swindle money, doesn't he even know where he is!"
"Young Master Qin, get him out of here right now! Don't let him disturb the old man's final moments!"
Lu Zongming's face darkened, and he was about to retort when Shen Yu raised his hand to stop him.
He didn't even glance at Zhou Mingyuan, his gaze calmly fixed on Qin Feng.
"Your father's illness is not a sudden acute condition, but rather chronic poisoning."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Zhou Mingyuan immediately became agitated.
Shen Yu completely ignored him, staring straight at Qin Feng.
"The toxins were administered in batches over the past three months, accumulating until they reached a threshold before suddenly erupting, damaging nerves, compressing blood clots in the brain, and incidentally eroding the internal organs."
"He has three hidden blood clots in his left brain that cannot be detected by a regular CT scan. The thrombolytic drugs you are using will not only fail to dissolve them, but will also accelerate the spread of toxins and damage his internal organs."
His liver and kidneys are already failing. If we delay any longer, the toxins will spread completely in thirty minutes. At that point, even a sage couldn't save him.
"I've said my piece; believe it or not is up to you."
The moment those words were spoken, the entire living room fell into a deathly silence!
Qin Feng was visibly shaken and abruptly looked at Zhou Mingyuan:
"Zhou Mingyuan! Is what he said true?!"
Zhou Mingyuan was so flustered that his hands were shaking, and he forced himself to make a pretext for defense:
"You're spouting nonsense! You're completely making baseless accusations! We conducted a full set of toxicology tests on the old man, and there were absolutely no signs of poisoning! You're trying to sow discord here just to scam money; I'm calling the police and having you arrested right now!"
Liu Yuru sat on the sofa, her handkerchief clenched tightly in her hand.
Qin Yu lost his earlier arrogance and subconsciously took a half step back, his eyes filled with guilt and anxiety.
Qin Feng noticed all of these subtle reactions.
He had already felt that his father's illness was strange. Liu Yuru and Qin Yu were always around the ward, but they kept stopping him from changing doctors. At this moment, he suddenly understood what was going on.
He abruptly turned his head to look at Shen Yu, who remained calm and composed, and without the slightest hesitation, bowed deeply to Shen Yu.
"Mr. Shen! Please save my father! I believe in you! If you can save my father, our Qin family is willing to pay any price!"
