Chapter 921: [921] Criminal detention

Doctor Kim sighed. Honestly, she too felt that it was utterly unnecessary for Xie Wanying’s face to be painted with gentian violet.

“Come, let me have a look,” Nie Jiamin calmed down a bit, walked up to the student, and lifted a hand to support the student’s face.

Since the teacher was inspecting, Xie Wanying didn’t dare to move, her mouth twitched slightly, “It’s not serious.”

Whether it was serious or not was for the teacher to decide; Nie Jiamin’s fingers gently pressed her chin bone, feeling her gums and teeth through the muscles on her face, asking, “Does it hurt inside?”

Looking at where she was hit, right by the mouth, the biggest fear was that the alveolar bone might be damaged.

“It’s alright.”

“Take some medicine,” Nie Jiamin said; his gaze fell once more on the purple spot on her face, and he suddenly froze again.

It was quite alarming. Xie Wanying knew it, so she bowed her head to avoid scaring anyone further.

“I–,” Nie Jiamin wanted to say a few words to comfort her but couldn’t find the appropriate Chinese words. After all, his Mandarin wasn’t very good, so he could only stand there with a silent, elegant, and refined gaze that signified silence is golden.

The others, in the same tense atmosphere, knew that the new leader was a man of few words from the moment he appeared.

Unlike certain playboys who had a way with words, he seemed a bit cold and cool at first glance but was exceptionally considerate towards patients. — Kang Mingzhu and Doctor Kim exchanged glances, actually finding the new pediatric expert quite nice.

Turning his head, Nie Jiamin asked He Guangyou, “Did they catch him?”

He Guangyou and the others exchanged looks and answered, “The guy who hit her has been caught; he’s at the police station.”

“We need to find out exactly what happened,” Nie Jiamin said.

“That man said his son needed to get on the ambulance–” Kang Mingzhu, who knew the situation from the scene, started explaining.

Upon hearing this, Nie Jiamin knew who was responsible, his expression turning quite grim; he beckoned He Guangyou to step outside and gave him instructions in English.

He Guangyou was surprised after hearing his words, “He was already thinking of hitting a doctor before?” He hurriedly made a call back to his own hospital to report. Such a person couldn’t be released carelessly.

Dahui’s Wife had her calculations completely backfire. It was said that at the police station, when Dahui saw his wife, he raised his fist and pummeled her fiercely. Had the police not intervened, Dahui’s Wife might well have been beaten to death by her husband. And with that, Dahui’s detention became a certainty.

Later, when Xie Wanying accompanied Teacher Nie upstairs to see the child patient, Qiu Ruiyun almost went weak at the knees on seeing her injured face.

After coordinating with Guoxie, they arranged for an ambulance from the county hospital to transfer the child patient to the Capital.

At that moment, the previously absent department head, Director Qi, along with the leadership of the county hospital, appeared next to the ambulance for the transfer, followed by a large group of doctors.

“It was only this morning when they called me that I learned a great expert had come to our hospital for a visit,” the president of the county hospital said excitedly, extending his hand to shake with the Capital’s specialist.

Nie Jiamin was checking on the patient in the ambulance, too occupied to socialize or exchange pleasantries with these people.

Moreover, the previous night, upon his arrival, he was informed by He Guangyou that the head of surgery, who was notified previously, had never shown up, leaving just a junior doctor to assist him, the expert, in saving lives–a clear indication of what had transpired.

These people probably doubted whether he, as an expert, truly had the expertise because they had never heard of him before. They didn’t believe he could save anyone, nor did they think it was necessary for them to come back and help save lives fully. Hence the personnel vacuum last night turned into a crowd looking for credit by morning.
