Chapter 73: The Mysterious Insect Poison
Listening to Han Ankang's sincere words, Zuo Chengcai, as the highest administrative official in the province, truly understood. When he first saw that Han Ankang had lost trust in society, why were these old generals so angry? As a politician, he was very aware that in this realistic society where material desires are rampant, young people who can keep their innocence are extremely rare.
Facing such a Han Ankang, more verbal apologies seem pale and powerless. Zhu Cheng didn't say much either, entrusting Han Ankang to take good care of his injuries here, and regarding this incident, he would also follow his few hopes. In the most fair and just way, without wronging a good person or letting off a bad person, to deal with it.
Han Ankang didn't say anything more about it, for him, although he felt a little resentful, the benevolent heart of saving the world that had been cultivated by many years of medical practice still made him not want to see too many strange or unpleasant events happen. He just wanted to do his part and make this society have more sunshine and less darkness.
At the same time, he also hopes that what happened to him today will not happen to other ordinary people. Of course, Han Ankang also understands in his heart that this expectation is beautiful, but it's hard to achieve. After all, the world cannot change because of his will, and all he can do is keep his original heart unchanged. As long as he feels no guilt in his heart, he will be at peace!
After the departure of government officials such as Zhū Chéng, Hán ānkāng quickly expressed his reluctance to stay in the hospital for recovery and instead hoped to be able to return home to rest. Zhao Hǔ and others naturally disagreed, promising to provide him with a more comfortable place to recover but refusing to let him go home alone. Because everyone knew that at this time, he was the one who needed someone to take care of him the most.
In the end, Han Ankang couldn't bear it anymore and Zhao Hu and others seemed to have also noticed that after this incident, Han Ankang had developed a subconscious distrust of this city. Leaving him here to recover would indeed be somewhat difficult for him.
After much deliberation, it was decided to arrange for Han Ankang to move into the Northeast Military Region's sanatorium. Perhaps staying there to recover would make him feel a little better in his heart!
When Han Ankang's hands recover, Zhao Hu won't force him to stay and let him leave. As for this, Han Ankang only feels that it's good to be able to leave here, he really doesn't want those dark scenes that keep appearing in his mind to disturb him. Maybe changing the environment will make him forget this shadowy period, who knows.
For Zhao Hu, having the opportunity to make up for his guilt towards Han Ankang in this incident was naturally not a problem. He immediately let Du Shan arrange a special plane to transfer Han Ankang to a convalescent home for recuperation. As for the five girls who seemed a bit heartbroken, they were also comforted by Han Ankang and expressed their desire to be alone after a while, but ultimately had to leave reluctantly.
Even Zheng Xiujing followed the company's staff, and that night she took a plane back to South Korea from Jeju Island. So much so that Song Qian originally wanted to invite her teammates to spend the New Year at her home, but because of this unfortunate event, her plan was completely ruined. What made her and the girls even more worried was whether Han Ankang would completely alienate himself from them because of this incident?
When Han Ankang left Qing Island with a group of old generals, Zhu Cheng also knew that this was Han Ankang's own insistence after learning about it. He clearly felt that this matter would be a nightmare for him to heal from in time. What made Zhu Cheng even more angry was that as the case investigation deepened, the corruption problem on Minister Gu Xinquan also made Zhu Cheng feel quite shocking.
Even Gu Bin, the spoiled son who triggered this Qing Island government earthquake, was arrested by the military on his way back from the airport and confessed to all the crimes he had committed without any backbone. The number of girls he had harmed alone exceeded 100, including two cases where officials led by Gu Xingquan covered up after lives were lost, and the tragic case was closed with the victim's suicide.
These shocking case materials make one think of Han Ankang's pure eyes, filled with confusion and perplexity as he questions his duties and conscience. As the highest administrative leader of a province, he feels that under his management, there are such corrupt elements among his cadres who have failed in their duties.
To the extent that he didn't care about other officials' concerns about the negative impact, and instead chose to resolve the matter privately within the organization. In the end, an unprecedented move was made to publicly announce the investigation of the case in a major provincial news broadcast before the Spring Festival. At the same time, a warning was issued to officials in Jizhong Province that as the number one leader of the Provincial Party Committee, he would take a zero-tolerance attitude towards corruption and bribery within the province from now on.
After this speech was broadcast on TV, it not only shocked a batch of officials but also increased his reputation among the people in Jidong.
After all, the ordinary people's hatred for corrupt officials has reached an unprecedented level. There is a provincial party committee number one who dares to say no to official corruption, and the people naturally feel grateful to him!
All of this, Han Ankang, who had returned to the Northeast Military Region's convalescent home, no longer had the mood to pay attention. He, who had returned here once again, became even more taciturn than before. Every day, except when reading medical books, he could see the familiar calm face from before. At other times, Han Ankang would sit in the garden or by the window, staring blankly, and the group of old generals also felt worried to death.
Originally, Zhao Hu and Liu Gang both planned to talk to Han Ankang, to comfort this young man who still had unresolved knots in his heart. Usually doing such work was easy for them, but facing Han Ankang, a young man with a naturally kind nature, they really didn't know how to untie these knots.
To continue deceiving Han Ankang with lies, telling him that the incident on Qing Island was just an accidental event? In the future, when Han Ankang encounters such things again, he will probably feel deceived and no longer trust them.
Why not tell him the truth, that nowadays China is a society filled with personal relationships, where everything is about connections and compromise? Even at times when power and wealth suppress justice and fairness, wouldn't that add to Han Ankang's sense of frustration and disgust towards societal reality? Can they still find the kind and innocent Han Ankang they liked again?
With this entangled mood, they can only quietly choose to pay attention, hoping that Han Ankang can come out of this blow on his own. However, what Han Ankang doesn't know is that for him, because he has obtained the legacy of the Taoist doctor, his state of mind hasn't changed from that of a small doctor's mentality, so he gets stuck in this mood and can't get an effective breakthrough.
Just as Han Ankang couldn't understand why those people dared to be so lawless and unreasonable, and took such revenge on him, a phone call made him have to suppress this knot in his heart once again.
The phone call was from Choi Jin-san, who often calls to chat with him recently. Compared to the past when he just came over to accompany him, this time Choi Jin-san's tone seemed a bit urgent. The first thing he asked after answering the phone was how Han Ahn-kang's injury had recovered.
Actually, for Han Ankang, who has the inheritance of Daoyi's essence and blood, this time he was truly hurt in his heart rather than his body. On the contrary, Han Ankang clearly found that his physical health was even better than before he got injured. This strange phenomenon, although he didn't quite understand it, he also knew it had something to do with the last time's essence and blood inheritance.
Hearing the urgency in Choi Jin-san's words, Han Ahn-gang calmly replied that his injury was nothing serious. Upon hearing this response, Choi Jin-san looked embarrassed and said: "Little Han, I know it's not good to disturb you at this time. But this time it's Park Jae-bum, that old guy from the Park family, who got into trouble. The thing is, we were just having tea together a few days ago."
Yesterday, he was bitten by an unknown insect in his own garden. Within less than 24 hours, he fell into a coma due to poisoning and is now in critical condition. The Park family has also invited domestic experts, but no one knows what kind of insect caused the poisoning. Even two American experts who specialize in biological viruses were helpless when they were specially invited to help.
However, after collecting blood samples for testing, these two experts told us that the insect that bit Park Dae-kan was not a common monospecific toxin insect. On the contrary, what made them extremely surprised was that Park Dae-kan's blood contained hundreds of insect toxins, which they had never heard of before. It makes me feel like something is out of the ordinary, so I'd like to ask you to come and take a look. Is it convenient for you?
Park Dae-bang, the old man in Choi Jin-sang's mouth, Han Ahn-kong still has some impression. This old man got a nickname for speaking loudly as "Big Cannon", and his identity is also one of the four major families in South Korea. He is also one of the families with a relatively good relationship with the Choi family, no wonder when he heard that this old friend was poisoned by an unknown toxin, Choi Jin-sang would think of inviting Han Ahn-kong to visit South Korea at this time.
He thought that perhaps only by immersing himself in the world of medicine could he avoid thinking about so many annoying things in reality. Han Ankang quickly expressed that he would set off for South Korea as soon as possible, but the procedures and whatnot would require the Choi family's help to handle.
As soon as he learned that Han Ankang was coming to take over the diagnosis, he sat outside the ICU and watched Park Jiazi make a phone call. After seeing Mr. Cui nodding his head, Park Jiazi, who knew how amazing Han Ankang's medical skills were, also felt that under the current circumstances, he could only pin his hopes on Han Ankang as a lifesaver.
Choi Jin-san let Han An-kang set off to the airport immediately, they will make a passenger plane that was originally scheduled to take off several hours later wait for him at the airport. As for Han An-kang, he also knew that in this situation, time is life.
He told Zhao Hu about the situation and asked him to send someone to take himself back to the village, fetch his medical kit and some detoxifying medicine. After that, he would immediately set off for the airport, board a flight to South Korea, and rush to South Korea at the fastest speed to rescue Park's father, who was also quite good in Han Ankang's eyes!
