Chapter 23: She Continues to Deliriate the Name of a Girl

Nanping General Hospital this morning was preoccupied with the arrival of the patient brought by Xiao Meilin. The doctors and nurses here swiftly handle once they know that a patient has entered the emergency department. With the sophistication of medical devices here, it only takes a few minutes for doctors to find out this patient turned out to have a fracture in his ribs. Subsequently, Cia Yonggan was transferred to an orthopedic specialist who specifically dealt with bone problems.

Xiao Meilin, waiting for news from the examination room, had told her assistant to come to the hospital and bring her a change of clothes, so she had now changed into a formal dress.

After more than an hour, the orthopedic doctor who treated Cia Yonggan finally came out of the room.

While Xiao Meilin who was being accompanied by a female assistant who was the same age as her hurriedly approached the doctor and impatiently asked. "Doctor, how's he doing?"

The doctor was in his forties, he slightly smiled and said. "Miss Xiao, we found three broken ribs on her left. Fortunately the fracture was not a splinter, so it was not too difficult to handle it. It's just..."

"What's all, Doctor?" Xiao Meilin hurriedly cut.

"That's it. Miss Xiao please enter the patient room. There are a few things I want to say" the doctor said.

"Alright then," Xiao Meilin immediately responded. Then he said to his assistant. "You wait here, yeah."

"Alright, Miss Xiao," replied the assistant girl Xiao Meilin.

The doctor opened the operating room door. Inside, Xiao Meilin saw several nurses who were busy cleaning tools that had been used for the care of Cia Yonggan. While in the patient's bed, Cia Yonggan lay wrapped in a cast on the chest to the back. He had been breathing normally, unlike when he was first found floating in the river this morning, only that he had not regained consciousness.

"Look, Miss Xiao, there are some things I would like to convey to you. As I said earlier that the patient's condition is almost manageable, it's just that there are strange symptoms that we can't detect, despite using medical devices," the doctor explained.

"What strange symptoms do you mean, Doctor?" Xiao Meilin asked curiously as she looked towards Cia Yonggan.

"We also found a bruise on the back of the patient's head, can be ascertained due to colliding with a hard object. This collision should not cause trauma to the brain to cause a coma" he explained.

Hearing this caused Xiao Meilin to grow even more curious. He asked again. "Doctor, what do you mean, he's in a coma?"

"No, I dare not say that, Miss Xiao. Comatose patients should experience a concussion or injury to the brain that causes them to lose consciousness. This patient is not. He lost consciousness as it was triggered by the unbearable pain in his chest and caused him to have difficulty breathing during that rib fracture. Right now his brain is working right, his memory is good, sometimes he is delirious. Only his consciousness was gone. Miss Xiao, I've been an orthopedic doctor for over fifteen years, only this time to find a patient case like this" the doctor seemed enthusiastic.

"Does that mean his consciousness won't recover?" back Xiao Meilin asked.

The doctor hastily explained. "Miss Xiao, it's hard to predict when she'll wake up. I think only a miracle can bring him back."

Xiao Meilin fell silent, she did not know what else to say. Just now that the doctor said that this young man was not known when he would be conscious, this meant that it would certainly take a long time to treat him in this hospital.

This young man he found almost dead, not a single self-identifying mark attached to his body making it difficult for him to contact the young man's family. He had no idea who this young man was, even though he felt he had seen his face before.

"Doctor, you mentioned he was sometimes delirious, do you know what he said when he was delirious?" Xiao Meilin suddenly remembered the doctor's explanation earlier, who knew it could be a clue that would help her find this young man's family.

"She was delirious about just saying one name." the doctor wanted to mention.

But suddenly Cia Yonggan was delirious. "May Gui..."

"Yes! Therehewas. He always mentioned that name, even during surgery he was delirious, too" the doctor said excitedly.

"Doctor, is there anything else you want to say?" he asked with a little jutek.

The doctor was silent for a moment, unaware of the facial changes in Xiao Meilin, then said. "Oh, yeah. You need to know, the rib fracture he experienced can be ascertained because it collided with something hard, it could have been a blunt object, but stronger allegations caused by the blow of a martial arts expert. You must have heard how powerful the blow of a martial arts expert was, even his punch could break a brick."

Hearing this, Xiao Meilin who was originally seen as a jutek, became interested. He himself had actually been practicing martial arts for a long time, of course regarding this was no stranger to him anymore.

"Of course, Doctor, I already know about that. How could he get a punch from a martial expert?" she asked.

"Miss Xiao, soccer players will only compete with soccer players, as well as in the case of this patient, most likely this patient has been dealing with a criminal in the underground world who has expertise in martial arts" the doctor explained.

"Was.. Do you want to say that he's this Nanping City underground gathering guy?" Xiao Meilin became nervous.

He also already knew how the members of the underground society lunge. He already knew the real cause of death of one of the leaders of the underground society in this city, Gao Li Li Liang, a week ago, he himself attended the funeral of Gao Li Li Li Liang.

Even two days ago, the Chairman of Bao Society, Hong Gan, along with one of his subordinates were also killed by people. It seems like the underground society in Nanping City is in turmoil.

"Who knows if he's an underground society or not, which he's not safe at the moment. As you know, Miss Xiao, the last two weeks in a row have killed two of the three underground leaders in this city. First Mr. Gao from Hei Laohu Association, then two days ago there was also a gang against Mr. Hong and a member of Bao Association. It could be that this patient is one of the closest people from influential people in underground associations who want to be eliminated by the enemy" said the doctor explained.

Hearing this doctor's words, as soon as Xiao Meilin realized, this young man she had saved was likely the closest person Hei Laohu's leader was. Now he remembered why he had felt he had seen the young man before. It turned out that they had met at Gao Li Li Liang's funeral when he attended the funeral service. As he recalled, at that time at Gao Li Li Liang's funeral, this young man was always close to the daughter of the late Gao Li Li Liang. But he could not confirm whether this young man was Gao Li Liang's son or his daughter's girlfriend. He himself did not know the name of Gao Li Li Liang's daughter. Or maybe when the young man was delirious was to mention the name of Gao Li Li Liang's daughter?

"Doctor, what should I do? To be honest I don't want to get involved with the affairs of those underground society," Xiao Meilin asked nervously.

"Miss Xiao, by saving him means that you have dealt with the underground society people, you can't avoid it anymore" the doctor said again.

"Huh? You don't try to scare me, Doctor," Xiao Meilin tried to leave.

"I'm not scaring you, Miss Xiao. But that's the fact. What I'm worried about is that when they find out that this patient is alive, they're going to go to this hospital and make a killing here. If that happens, then your business this time is only free and this will certainly trouble us, besides that you yourself will be bothered by the police later," the doctor explained further.

Xiao Meilin looked back at Cia Yonggan's face. He certainly did not want to deal with the police force for a business that was none of his business. He just accidentally found this young man and intended to help him, and if this young man was found underground, it was likely that this young man would again be targeted by those people. Of course, he as the person who brought this patient here could not take his hands off and would definitely be questioned by the police.

So he made up his mind to save this young man alone from the threat of his opponents for a while.

He asked the doctor again. "Doctor, do you have any idea how to save him?"

Without hesitation the doctor replied. "The only way is that you have to take this patient home and continue treatment at home. If needed, I will come periodically to see the patient's progress. The underground society people have not wanted to harass the businessmen in this city, so I think he is safe with you, Miss Xiao. It just so happens that we haven't registered a patient in the registration section because the patient doesn't have a self-identity card."

"All right, just like that. You please help me take care of him coming home to my house. And please help me in the administration, let me pay the fee," Xiao Meilin said.

Then Xiao Meilin walked out of the room.

As soon as Xiao Meilin left, the doctor typed in a message and sent it to someone.

"Master Mo, I've been running as you wish."
