Head Nurse

Chen Miemie stopped in her tracks as she was walking out, immediately turning her head around:

"Are you crazy! Dr. Hua is a Mystic, and you, an ordinary person, are going to investigate him? You'll be discovered by him 100 percent."

Ash was very calm: "He already has."

"He's already made contact with you?"

"He is my attending physician."

Right now, Chen Miemie just wanted to applaud him.

You assassins, suspected masterminds... using yourselves as bait, walking tightropes over cliffs, pulling insane stunts... you guys really know how to play the game.

Chen Miemie immediately rushed home, wrote the newly acquired intelligence on small slips of paper, pinned them to her small blackboard, and created a web-like case analysis chart.

After a thorough analysis by the few people at home, they came up with a new countermeasure.

"Loop, it's up to you now."

Loop played with a syringe in her hand, the corners of her mouth curling up:

"A clinic, huh? Truly a place full of memories. Wait for my news."

That afternoon.

The East District Clinic welcomed a newly hired head nurse named Loop.

Although medical personnel were considered scarce, an ordinary person didn't have the ability to become a head nurse right away.

However, this Head Nurse Loop who came to apply for the job possessed Mystic-level medical skills. Let alone a head nurse, there would be no problem hiring her directly as a chief physician.

After dusk, the rainbow moon rose into the sky.

Blood-red moonlight shone through the transom windows, illuminating the corridors inside the East District Clinic building.

Dr. Hua had just finished a surgery.

As soon as he stepped out of the operating room, an unfamiliar nurse was standing at the door.

"Dr. Hua, I am the new head nurse, Loop. The director is looking for you."

"Got it. I'll head over after I change."

The clinic director's office.

The current director of the East District Clinic was surnamed Guo. He was also a municipal staff member and was due to retire in the second half of this year.

"Director Guo, what do you need me for?"

"Xiao Hua, sit down. Have you thought that matter through?"

Dr. Hua glanced at the new head nurse, Loop, who had brought him over.

"Head Nurse Loop is one of our own. Our main surgeries in the future will have to rely on her."

Director Guo had absolutely no intention of letting Loop leave. In the afternoon, he had already witnessed Loop's abilities and personality with his own eyes. It could be said that all high-difficulty surgeries in the clinic from now on would rely on her assistance.

"Director Guo, thank you for your continuous promotion and protection of me, but I still cannot accept such a thing."

The smile on Director Guo's face faded. "Dr. Hua, you better think carefully. If you don't take this step, the position of the next director will have nothing to do with you."

"I know what I'm doing. A doctor should always have some principles to stick to."

"Dr. Hua, why make things so hard on yourself? You should be very clear that even if you don't do it, you can't stop others from doing it. Only by taking the top position first can you achieve what you want to do."

"There are many people willing to compromise and be flexible, but I am not. I'm sorry, Director." Dr. Hua stood straight up from his chair.

Watching Dr. Hua leave, Director Guo's face was as black as coal.

He took a few big gulps of tea before slowly calming his emotions, turning his head to look at Loop. "Loop, what do you think of organ transplantation?"

"A normal medical procedure."

"And what if it involves trading the lives of the poor for the lives of the powerful and privileged?"

"From the day this technology appeared, it was unstoppable. I am a nurse; I only care about matters inside the ward. The rest is left to the law."

Director Guo sighed:

"If only Xiao Hua thought the same way.

Loop, I am retiring in a few months. Originally, with Dr. Hua and you in this clinic, two great talents joining forces, I could imagine how many patients could be saved in the next few decades. It's a pity that Xiao Hua is too stubborn and just can't figure it out."

Loop did not reply.

Director Guo seemed to have opened a chatterbox, entering an elderly person's reminiscent mode:

"When Xiao Hua was very young, he lost his parents and was brought up by his grandmother.

Coincidentally, the year he graduated from the Four Symbols Academy, his grandmother contracted a disease that could not be cured at the current level of medical science, and eventually passed away.

Therefore, after graduating from school, he did not join any societies. He came straight to our clinic upon graduation, determined to conquer that disease.

He has been doing this for almost 20 years.

As his medical skills improved, his reputation grew, and he gradually became an honored guest for various powerful figures.

What's rare is that this kid actually hasn't forgotten his original intention and still dedicates a lot of energy to treating ordinary patients.

About six or seven years ago, the dark side of the world finally found him.

Someone asked him to perform an organ transplant surgery.

The person to be saved was the child of a noble who had been friends with him for many years, and the organ provider was a desperate person from the bottom of society.

Voluntary agreements, clinic permits, generous compensation—all elements were in place, but he refused.

He didn't do it, but that noble's child was still saved; there were naturally other doctors to do it.

Since then, his situation has become very delicate.

Hehe, even if he doesn't do it and just treats ordinary diseases in the hospital, no one will mess with him.

But he also has some ambitions of his own.

He wants to run for the director of this clinic and still wants to be full of righteousness and unyielding. How could those people let him take the position?

If he becomes the director, he would probably close the loophole for organ transplants.

What he is blocking is not other people's path to wealth, but those people's more noble lives."

Loop listened quietly: "And what is the Director's attitude?"

"I am considered a figure in this clinic, but once I leave, I'm just ordinary. Even if I want to help, I lack the power."

Seeing that Loop was silent again, Director Guo could only continue himself: "I can't help, but if you are willing to join forces with him, you might have a chance to fight for it."

So, Director Guo had spoken so much to Loop, the newly hired head nurse, just to arrive at this point.

"If your abilities are combined, it will definitely be greater than the sum of its parts. As long as you can cure enough terminal illnesses, you will have more say in the medical field.

In this world, it is not just doctors who need to compromise; those powerful classes waiting to be saved will also compromise."

"Is this the real purpose of Director Guo calling me over tonight? To act as a lobbyist for Dr. Hua?"

"I just hope that after I leave my post, this clinic can become better. If you agree, the position of deputy director will be yours in the future."

Loop smiled.

Director Guo also smiled.

Five minutes later.

Loop came out of the director's office.

Just after descending one floor.

At the corner, a figure straightened up from leaning against the wall.

Loop looked at this man with half his face hidden in the darkness.

"Dr. Hua, do you need me for something?"

"I heard Head Nurse Loop just joined today, yet you have already become the Director's trusted aide so quickly."

"I am no one's person. What do you want to say."

"The Director is retiring in a few months. I want you to help me."

"Are you stepping in personally this time? Director Guo just offered the position of 'Deputy Director' as a bargaining chip. What price can you add to that?"

Dr. Hua paused for a few seconds before speaking: "I can't give you those things. I just want to save more people."

Loop tilted her head: "That's a real pity. The conditions offered by the Director aren't enough to make me help you."

Dr. Hua frowned. "What do you mean? The director offered you a deal to help me?"

"Great acting. You're still pretending that the two of you haven't been in on this together." Loop let out a cold sneer.

Dr. Hua shook his head.

"Impossible! Director Guo is the head of the organ transplant project, and he is the last person who wants to see me get promoted. He lied to you."
