Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express
Chapter 163 Seeking Medical Help
Chapter 163 Seeking Medical Help
The most famous public hospital on Hong Kong Island is Queen Mary Hospital. There is no hospital called St. Mary's. Moreover, the waiting time here is extremely long, often starting at 3 hours. It is packed with people.
So, if a wealthy person were to have a golf ball stuck in their throat and it couldn't be removed, they wouldn't be taken to a public hospital like Queen Mary Hospital; they would definitely go to a private hospital for treatment!
It can only be said that the sex scandal was full of loopholes. Back then, it could only spread like wildfire in mainland China, where people were unfamiliar with the situation in Hong Kong. Hong Kong people could tell at a glance that it was fake.
Ye Dongsheng naturally didn't need to wait 3 hours; he was currently at the renowned private hospital, Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, on Hong Kong Island.
Private hospitals are good as long as you pay enough; the service is absolutely top-notch, and the doctors are generally more skilled than young doctors in public hospitals.
Three cardiology experts are gathered together, looking at the various examination reports and films that Ruan Mei just had done, including color Doppler ultrasound, electrocardiogram, and chest X-ray.
Not far away, Ruan Mei was holding Ye Dongsheng's hand tightly, clearly not at peace with herself. She hadn't had the means to get treatment before, but now that Ye Dongsheng was helping her and had actually brought in a renowned doctor, how could she not hope to receive a real cure?
A moment later, one of the female doctors walked over with a smile: "Mr. Ye, if you don't mind, I think I should take Miss Ruan for some private examinations."
Ye Dongsheng smiled and nodded: "Of course~"
After Ruan Mei was taken away by the female doctor, two other doctors came over.
Ye Dongsheng frowned and said directly, "Gentlemen, is the situation not good?"
The two doctors exchanged a glance. They had just sent Ruan Mei away because they wanted to speak with Mr. Ye alone.
A doctor in his fifties spoke first: "Mr. Ye, Miss Ruan's condition is indeed not very good."
Another person added, "Ms. Ruan's congenital heart disease is not incurable, but the best time for surgical repair is during infancy, before the age of 2."
But now, Miss Ruan is an adult, and the changes in her heart over the years have complicated the situation…”
Ye Dongsheng raised his hand to interrupt them: "Gentlemen, actually, I don't understand all these technical terms you're using. I'm a straightforward person. If we were to have the surgery now, what would be the success rate?"
The two were silent for a moment, then the older doctor said, "To be honest, given Miss Ruan's condition, I don't recommend surgery."
The other person nodded in agreement: "The risk is too high. No one in the entire Hong Kong Island would dare to perform this kind of surgery!"
Ye Dongsheng understood. The two men's meaning was clear: the success rate of the surgery was very low, so low that neither of them wanted to do it.
"So, according to you, it's conservative treatment?"
The older doctor nodded: "Conservative treatment should be able to extend lifespan somewhat."
"how long?"
"Ms. Ruan's condition is currently relatively stable, and she may have about 3 years left."
Ye Dongsheng's expression was not very good. Although he was mentally prepared and knew that Ruan Mei's hereditary heart disease was probably not easy to treat, he still felt uncomfortable after hearing the doctor say that.
Moreover, his wife Ruan Mei is supposed to live for at least another 6 years in the story, so when you tell me she only lives for 3 years, it makes Ye Dongsheng even more annoyed.
After saying goodbye to the doctors, the two walked down the corridor.
Seeing that Ye Dongsheng was somewhat silent, Ruan Mei tugged at his hand: "Brother Sheng, did the doctor say something?"
Ye Dongsheng smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, I just feel that the doctors at this hospital might not be very good. Let's go somewhere else next week."
Ruan Mei lowered her head slightly: "Brother Sheng, maybe we should just forget about it. This is one of the best hospitals in Hong Kong. If even this place can't help, what's the point of going anywhere else?"
I knew from the start that there was little hope for my illness.
"I'm already so happy and content to have you by my side right now~"
Ye Dongsheng gripped her small hand tightly:
"Fool, what discouraging talk! Just because it's not working here doesn't mean it's not working elsewhere. Other hospitals have even better cardiologists! And even if it's not working in Hong Kong, it doesn't mean it's not working abroad. There's still the United States and the Soviet Union!"
The world is so big, I refuse to believe we can't find someone who can cure your illness!
As the world's two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union naturally possessed the best resources and the most advanced technologies in every aspect.
He currently plans to search in Hong Kong Island for a while, and if that doesn't work, he'll ask someone to inquire in the US.
Ye Dongsheng would definitely not give up. Although he was waiting for his cheat code to reveal something useful, he also wanted to find the best medical plan for Ruan Mei as much as possible. By combining the two approaches, he could maximize the chances of curing her heart disease.
Feeling Ye Dongsheng's firm attitude, Ruan Mei felt a surge of love in her heart. She felt that no one had ever treated her so well in her life. She couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and peck Ye Dongsheng on the cheek.
Ye Dongsheng was genuinely taken aback by Ruan Mei's sudden attack. After all, he knew that Ruan Mei had a heart condition, so he had always been restrained when he was with her. Apart from giving her a light kiss on the forehead earlier, he hadn't done anything more intimate, for fear that Ruan Mei's fragile little heart couldn't take it.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Mei has now taken the initiative to flirt with him!
Looking at Ruan Mei's stunningly beautiful face and the love radiating from her large eyes, Ye Dongsheng couldn't resist any longer. He pulled Ruan Mei into his arms and then lowered his head to kiss her lips.
A few breaths later, Ye Dongsheng forced himself to lift his head, then asked, slightly out of breath, "Amei, are you alright?"
Ruan Mei's cheeks were flushed with a radiant glow, and her eyes were glazed over: "I...I'm so happy! I've never been so happy before!"
Then she buried her head in Ye Dongsheng's chest and murmured, "Brother Sheng, I'm fine. I'll do anything you want!"
When she was a child, she questioned her parents about why they had given birth to her and her older siblings when they both had heart conditions.
But now she understands that this kind of love, when it reaches its peak, comes from the bottom of her heart and is uncontrollable!
At this moment, she wanted to cast aside all her previous caution. As long as Ye Dongsheng wanted it, she was willing to have his child! Even if it cost her her life!
Ye Dongsheng understood Ruan Mei's words. Although he was excited, he suppressed it, simply pulling Ruan Mei into his arms, stroking her dark hair, and whispering in her ear:
"Silly girl, I want to cure your illness so that you can stay by my side for a long, long time! Don't think about anything else, just listen to my plan, and we will definitely find a way to cure you!"
"Hmm~"
The two of them, oblivious to everyone else, were being so affectionate in the corridor. If this were a crowded public hospital, they would probably have been yelled at for blocking the way. However, in a private hospital, no one would bother them at all.
Moreover, Gao Jin kept a respectful distance nearby, ready to strike anyone who dared to disturb him!
After a moment, Ye Dongsheng said, "By the way, I have a friend who is also in the hospital right now. I'll take you to see him."
"Hmm? Your friend? What happened to him?" Ruan Mei asked.
As Ye Dongsheng put his arm around Ruan Mei and walked towards the elevator, he said with a smile, "Actually, you know her too."
"I know him too?" This made Ruan Mei even more curious.
In the spacious and bright private hospital room, an elderly man sat leaning against the bed. By the window, a burly man sat peeling an apple. His knife skills were evident; the peel remained perfectly thin and even from start to finish. With a few swift strokes, the apple was chopped into small pieces, then toothpicks were inserted. Li Xiangdong presented the plate to his father: "Dad, here, have an apple!"
The old man smiled, picked up the apple, put it in his mouth and chewed, the sweetness making his lips curl up even more.
But what truly made him happy wasn't the apple, nor the hospital room, which was far superior to those in the mainland, but that his son wasn't a real fugitive, but was carrying out a mission for the country! He hadn't brought shame to the Li family!
dong dong dong.
Upon hearing the knock, Li Xiangdong immediately stood up, remaining cautious, fearing that it might be an enemy or the police coming to his door.
Once the door opened, Li Xiangdong immediately lowered his guard and excitedly invited the two inside: "Mr. Ye, Miss Ruan, what brings you here!"
Only then did Ruan Mei realize that Ye Dongsheng was referring to this filial son who had found Dongfeng Express to transport his father from the mainland to Hong Kong for medical treatment!
Ye Dongsheng said with a smile, "Let's go see how Uncle is doing."
After Li Xiangdong had won over his father, he immediately extended an invitation to him to visit Hong Kong and asked Qi Wei for help to quickly obtain a visa. He then brought the old man from Guangzhou to Hong Kong Island and arranged for him to be admitted to the hospital yesterday.
Li Xiangdong led the two men in and introduced them to his father with a smile: "Dad, this is Mr. Ye. It was all thanks to his help that we were able to bring you here and get you admitted to this hospital!"
Upon hearing this, the old man tried to get out of bed: "Mr. Ye, thank you so much! My son Xiangdong has been relying on you to take care of him in Hong Kong!"
Ye Dongsheng quickly went up and took the old man's hand, not letting him get out of bed:
"Uncle, what are you saying! Xiang Dong is my good friend, it's only right that I help you. Uncle, just stay here and focus on getting better, you'll be well soon! Then I'll arrange for someone to show you around Hong Kong Island!"
"Thank you! Xiang Dong is truly blessed to have a friend like you!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group left the ward.
Li Xiangdong immediately bowed to Ye Dongsheng again: "Mr. Ye, thank you so much! Thank you so much!"
Ye Dongsheng not only brought his father here, but also arranged for him to get into such a good hospital. He doesn't know how to repay this kindness!
Ye Dongsheng asked with a smile, "We can talk about that later. The most important thing right now is to cure your father's illness. How is he?"
"The doctors have already consulted, and the surgery will be performed in 3 days. As long as the surgery is successful, you can recover with proper rest!"
"Great! Then I wish you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery, Uncle!"
Then Ye Dongsheng asked, "Have you resolved your troubles yet?"
Li Xiangdong's expression froze, and he shook his head.
Ye Dongsheng sighed and said, "It seems that you may not be able to accompany your father the whole time. I will find two more caregivers for your uncle."
For a moment, Li Xiangdong was speechless with emotion: "Mr. Ye! I really don't know how to repay you!"
After saying that, he turned and went into the room, then came out carrying a box and handed it to Ye Dongsheng.
Ye Dongsheng was stunned for a moment: "What is this...?"
"Mr. Ye, you've already helped me so much, I can't let you spend any more money!"
Then Li Xiangdong lowered his voice and said, "There's 100 million in this box. I know this hospital isn't cheap. If you don't have enough money, just tell me!"
One million is more than enough for a major surgery, even in a private hospital!
Seeing Li Xiangdong's determined look, Ye Dongsheng smiled and said, "Alright, I'll take the money. I'll give you the rest later."
At the same time, he was certain that Li Xiangdong had obtained the ransom from Ding Xiaoxie, otherwise where would the 100 million have come from?
However, he was curious about what exactly happened between Tiger and the three of them. Was it because Tiger was generous enough to share the money with them, and the group parted ways peacefully?
Without giving it any further thought, he patted Li Xiangdong on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I need to get rid of your troubles as soon as possible. I'd like to ask you for some help with something else."
Li Xiangdong paused for a moment, then said, "I will, Mr. Ye. If you have any troubles or inconveniences, feel free to come to me. As long as it doesn't violate my principles, I will definitely help you take care of it!"
A moment later, Ye Dongsheng brought Ruan Mei out of the hospital.
Ruan Mei exclaimed, "This Li Xiangdong is truly a filial son. He doesn't look like a rich man at all; he's dressed simply and plainly. I never expected him to give me 100 million so readily! There are very few people in Hong Kong who would do something like him!"
Ye Dongsheng nodded in agreement: "The materialism in Hong Kong is too strong. He comes from the mainland, and people there are still more simple and honest! They don't value money as much."
After the two got into the car, Ye Dongsheng asked Ruan Mei, "Mei, there's something I'm curious about. What did you and Yueguang talk about when you first met? You got along so well? And you even asked me to take you home?"
"At the time, I thought she was warning me, so I directly told her about my illness and that I couldn't be with her. I never imagined I would be so sorry to Sister Moonlight..."
At this point, Ruan Mei showed a look of guilt.
Ye Dongsheng suddenly realized why Moonlight and Ruan Mei got along so well after their first meeting. They probably thought her physical condition wasn't a threat and also felt sorry for her.
Ye Dongsheng patted Ruan Mei's head: "Don't worry, Yueguang is very generous. She's too busy feeling sorry for you to hold these things against you."
He felt he could handle Moonlight; at worst, he'd just have to coax her a bit more.
If this were the mainland, where all feudal remnants had been eradicated, he would have a difficult time. But this is Hong Kong Island, where polygamy was abolished only a little over a decade ago, and many middle-aged men still have more than one wife.
Therefore, as long as the man is capable, most women here are quite accepting of polygamy.
Some traditional wealthy families no longer recognize marriage certificates and instead follow traditional Chinese wedding ceremonies.
For example, Stanley Ho's fourth wife, didn't she enter the family four years later? Who dares to deny it?
Marriage certificates and laws are meaningless to important people.

In Wan Chai, amidst the crackling of firecrackers, a red cloth was pulled down, revealing the large characters on the signboard: Lian Sheng Express.
