Chapter 215: Guilty Conscience
With that, Ma Zhongxiang turned around and pulled out the medical equipment attached to Liu Yumin. Lu An, who was now next to the bed, immediately blocked him. Her slender fingers landed on Liu Yumin’s heart and other points, and she said, “Her heart rate is 80, and her blood pressure is 95 and 65. Tell me, what’s wrong with that?”
“You…” She could actually do an accurate count with just her fingers?
Ma Zhongxiang secretly swallowed, then pointed angrily and said, “What nonsense are you spouting? Giving us numbers in the standard range with just a few taps – do you think we’re idiots? You’re deliberately obstructing us, right?
“Mr. Liu, I seriously doubt…”
“Doubt what?”
“I doubt you!”
Before he could finish speaking, Lu An tapped his chest and said, “Your heart rate is almost 120, and your blood pressure is 145 and 95. Compared with the sister on the bed, I think you should be the one to go and get your heart checked out immediately!
“Or, is your heart beating so fast because you’re feeling guilty?
“Oh, it sped up again!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu An covered her mouth with her other hand and made a surprised expression.
Ma Zhongxiang was so angry that his face was red. He gritted his teeth and couldn’t say a word for a long time.
His men on the side were all blocked by Second Brother Lu Jingfan, and no one dared to step closer to Lu An.
Lu An ignored the doctor and said to Father and Mother Liu, “Mr. Liu, I seriously suspect that he’s deliberately trying to buy time for the murderer because he knows that we’ve already found their hideout!” Hopefully, Brother Lingchuan was fine!
While Lu An was thinking this, Ma Zhongxiang flared up again. “Nonsense! This is slander! We don’t know anything about the murderer, nor are we stalling for time. On the other hand, you keep saying that the murderer is stalling – I think you want to kill Miss Liu once and for all to help the murderer get away with it completely!”
“Oh? From what you’re saying, it sounds like Miss Liu can come back to life if we’re not here. Wasn’t she diagnosed as brain dead?”
Lu An’s black eyes were filled with puzzlement as she asked the question. At the same time, her hand was already on Liu Yumin’s pulse.
Ma Zhongxiang inexplicably felt guilty, and continued, “It is indeed impossible for her to wake up, but there are still so many people waiting for her organs. We as doctors should prioritize saving the dying and treating the injured. To be able to save one is to…”
“So, you came to check on my daughter’s condition only to save someone else’s life. Then, please get out!”
Father Liu’s face was completely ashen. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’ve already said it before: To me, nothing is more important than catching the murderer who harmed my daughter. As for other people’s lives…”
Liu Haiqi clenched his fists, but his bloodshot eyes were saying, “What does that have to do with me?”
“This, this, you…”
Ma Zhongxiang wanted to say, “As a government official, how can you think so little of the people? Do their lives not matter?”
However, he didn’t dare. Seeing how Liu Haiqi looked like he wanted to eat someone up, he just pretended to be pitiful and said, “But you’ve already signed off on the transplant operation. Back then, it was agreed that the operation would be carried out after your daughter’s 27th birthday. This operation has to go ahead, no matter what. Those patients have long been waiting for this. Now, you…”
“Now I what?
“I’m going back on my word! I won’t let the operation happen anymore, alright?”
Liu Haiqi was very agitated. As a big shot who was nearly 60 years old and could be considered to have some reputation, he had never lost his composure like this.
Ma Zhongxiang was already brimming with righteousness. “Then, you can’t blame me!”
