Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Anonymous Complaint

Hysteria isn’t that frightening.

It’s a cognitive disorder of the central nervous system often caused by intense emotions like extreme joy or sorrow, major life events, or suggestion and autosuggestion.

This condition can generally be treated effectively with subsequent psychological counseling and therapy, leading to a good recovery.

A well-known example is the character Fan Jin from a famous Chinese story. His descent into madness after learning he’d passed the imperial examinations is a classic case of a hysterical episode.

It wasn’t too surprising that the child, after being frightened last night, woke up this morning with hysteria.

But epilepsy is an entirely different matter. It’s an extremely tricky condition.

It’s a chronic disease where sudden, abnormal electrical discharges from brain neurons cause temporary cerebral dysfunction.

The main symptoms of this disease are recurrent, unpredictable episodes involving falling, convulsions or spasms, a fixed and staring gaze, abnormal sensations, and fainting.

The causes of epilepsy are complex and varied, and some are still not fully understood by researchers.

The main causes include genetic factors, brain diseases, and systemic or whole-body illnesses.

It’s not impossible for extreme fright to trigger epilepsy.

However, Yan Feifan was more inclined to believe that the scare was merely a trigger.

Although epilepsy is a relatively persistent disease, with proper anti-epileptic drug treatment, the seizures of about seventy percent of patients can be controlled.

Among those whose seizures can be controlled, fifty to sixty percent can be fully cured after two to five years of comprehensive treatment.

Although the brat had brought the epileptic symptoms upon himself, and Yan Feifan felt a hint of schadenfreude, he also knew one thing for certain.

The brat’s sudden illness undoubtedly added many new variables to the smooth resolution of the current situation.

At seven in the morning, the Yan siblings and Tian Yu gathered in Wang Chuan and Yanyan’s hotel room for breakfast.

During the meal, Yan Feifan brought up the brat’s hysterical and epileptic symptoms.

Wang Chuan said sarcastically, "That brat was the one who came over and ripped off Yanyan’s face covering, scaring himself."

"It’s like one of those insurance scammers who throws himself at a car, bashes his own head in, and then tries to demand compensation from the driver, isn’t it?"

"You don’t need to worry about this. The justice system doesn’t just try to placate everyone anymore; it also has to consider public order and decency."

"We’re the ones in the right."

After a pause, Wang Chuan added, "I’ve already dug up some information on that guy."

"His name is Sun Yao. He’s a sales agent for sanitary ware and ceramics, and he has storefronts in several large home furnishing stores in Binhai."

"I heard his annual income is in the millions, maybe even tens of millions."

Yan Ziruo said with some concern, "He’s that powerful?"

Wang Chuan gave a slight smile and said scornfully, "He’s just a businessman. And only a distributor at that."

"Ruoruo, Feifan, and you too, Xiaoyu, you all must not underestimate our own influence."

"In the Binhai medical community, if the Affiliated Hospital claims to be number two, no other medical institution would dare claim to be number one."

"Every single department head at the Affiliated Hospital has a powerful network of contacts from all over the country."

Wang Chuan pointed a finger at Yan Feifan and said, "If this thing blows up, because of you, Dr. Qin Ying, Director Qee Sheng, Vice President Liu Jin, Director Wan Yuming, and several other mentors who have always thought highly of you will not just stand by and watch."

Wang Chuan then pointed to his own nose and said, "I’ve been at the Affiliated Hospital for so many years. Getting ten or twenty department heads to lend a hand is a piece of cake."

"With so many people working together, even if we can’t ruin his business, we can still make him suffer for a good long while."

Wang Chuan added, "And don’t forget, as a businessman, how could he not have competitors?"

"His competitors absolutely will not miss such a perfect opportunity to kick him while he’s down."

Then, Wang Chuan said menacingly, "I hope this Sun Yao knows what’s good for him. For the sake of his two suffering children, I’ll let it go."

"Otherwise, I’ll show him exactly what happens when you provoke someone you shouldn’t have."

These words were like a calming pill, making the Yan siblings feel much more at ease and relaxed...

Not long after breakfast, Mrs. Hua, who had returned to her own home last night, came to pick up Yanyan, Yan Ziruo, and Tian Yu to go back to Phoenix Tail Mountain.

Yan Feifan, meanwhile, returned to the Affiliated Hospital with Wang Chuan.

Walking into the director’s office of the plastic surgery center, Yan Feifan suddenly noticed Wang Chuan was limping and realized his own oversight.

"Director, your leg?"

Wang Chuan collapsed onto the sofa and said, "It still hurts, but it’s much better than the first day."

"At least I got a few hours of sleep last night."

"Alright, no matter what happens, life and work must go on."

"Let’s continue with rhinoplasty..."

Wang Chuan’s lesson didn’t last long. A constant stream of incoming calls interrupted their session.

Yan Feifan received one concerned phone call after another from his mentor Qin Ying, Dr. Qee, Vice President Liu, as well as Yu Suye, Chen Yu, Zhao Dongsheng, Lin Qian, We Xin, and more than ten others in total.

Yan Feifan also learned the latest news from a colleague in the emergency department.

Sun Zhengxin and Sun Zhengwen had just been discharged. They were transferring to City First People’s Hospital for further examination and treatment.

Yan Feifan understood. ’They must have finally found out who Wang Chuan and I are,’ he thought. ’They know this is enemy headquarters, that it’s not safe here.’

He couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.

’Throughout all of Binhai, in any major hospital, at least thirty to forty percent of the core physicians are from Binhai University Medical College.’

’And many doctors have done their advanced training at the Affiliated Hospital.’

’Unless they go abroad, it’s almost impossible to completely escape the influence of Bin University Medical College and the Affiliated Hospital within the domestic medical circle.’

To Yan Feifan’s surprise, he also received a call from Zheng Libin of the district’s Public Security Bureau.

The man stated over the phone that he would pull some strings with his connections to ensure the matter was handled fairly and justly.

At the same time, Yan Feifan also heard from Zheng Libin that Sun Yao had been confirmed to be driving drunk last night.

However, considering he hadn’t caused any serious consequences and there were extenuating circumstances, the case would be handled with discretion: ten days of detention and a fine.

Finally, Zheng Libin also mentioned on the call that Yan Feifan’s judgment about that criminal suspect had been correct.

After several days of investigation and interrogation, the man had confessed...

It wasn’t just Yan Feifan who was getting a lot of calls; Wang Chuan’s phone was also ringing off the hook.

Wang Chuan even got into an argument with someone on the phone.

Since the argument revolved around Yanyan, Yan Feifan guessed that the person on the other end was the Director’s ex-wife, a businesswoman in the United States.

After taking a few more calls, Wang Chuan suddenly waved Yan Feifan over and said with a slight laugh, "Feifan, a classmate of mine at the Health Bureau just told me something. We’ve been anonymously reported!"

"Reported? Us?" Yan Feifan was a little surprised.

Wang Chuan smiled and said, "The complaint is that after we were in the operating room, we suddenly raised the price, boosting the fee from a resident physician’s rate all the way up to an associate chief physician’s level."

Yan Feifan was annoyed. "Is it Luo Wei and her family?" he asked.

"Most likely. The TV production crew has no reason to do something so petty just to be disgusting."

Wang Chuan warned him gravely, "Ah, Feifan, when some patients need you, you’re dearer to them than their own parents."

"But once it’s all over..."

"Heh heh..."

Wang Chuan gave a cold laugh and said, "Feifan, don’t complain that the hospital’s various rules and regulations are tedious and impersonal."

"They’re actually there to protect us."

"Maybe your good deeds will be rewarded, and you’ll meet ninety-nine grateful patients who want to repay your kindness."

"But all it takes is one with a rotten heart, and he could ruin you..."
