Overpowered Resident Doctor

Chapter 418: Chapter 417: Commercial Spy

Yan Feifan and his girlfriend-slash-bodyguard, Yu Suye, walked out of Shoudu Capital International Airport to find that only Yu Youhai’s personal driver had come to pick them up.

It made him sigh. ’The VIP treatment really gets worse every time.’

The good news was that Lu Yao hadn’t come this time.

It seemed that after the last incident, the guy had finally given up.

It wasn’t that Yan Feifan was being petty.

No man would be happy or magnanimous about someone else constantly having designs on his woman.

After arriving at Baining Hospital at 10:30 AM, Yan Feifan, knowing the place like the back of his hand, went straight into surgery.

By 1:10 in the afternoon, all three spinal tumor puncture and injection procedures were complete.

Yan Feifan took a short break to wash up, then went to lunch with Yu Suye.

On the way, a delicate-looking young woman blocked their path.

"It’s you!"

This woman was none other than the fake nurse who had tried to frame Yan Feifan a few days prior.

"What do you want now?" Yan Feifan’s expression was frosty.

"Mr. Yan, please don’t get me wrong. I’m here to apologize."

As she spoke, the young woman gave a deep bow and continued, "I’m so sorry."

"For my mother’s condition... I truly had no other choice."

Yan Feifan couldn’t help but demand, "Your mother... does she really have a spinal tumor?"

The young woman straightened up and nodded emphatically. "Mr. Yan, my name is Yein Xiaomei. I’m studying nursing at a vocational health school. I really wasn’t lying about my mother and me."

"My mother works as a housekeeper. She doesn’t earn much, so when she got sick, she was afraid of the cost. She just kept pushing through the pain and never told me."

At this, the rims of Yein Xiaomei’s eyes turned red.

"When I went home for summer break, I noticed something was wrong with her. I took her to the hospital for a check-up, and that’s when we found out the tumor was already very large."

"I asked around and learned that only two hospitals, Binhai University Affiliated Hospital and Baining Hospital, could effectively treat my mother."

"But when I went to the Affiliated Hospital to beg..."

"Mr. Lo told me the waiting list was already four or five months long, and there was nothing he could do."

"In my despair, I found a corner in the hospital and just started sobbing. My crying attracted Ms. Zeng Ni..."

At this, Yein Xiaomei glanced timidly at Yan Feifan.

Yan Feifan’s expression was grim as he asked, "Did she really arrange for your mother to cut the line here at Baining Hospital?"

Yein Xiaomei nodded again and said cautiously, "She said it was all arranged. The surgery is scheduled for the week after next."

Just then, Yu Suye spoke up. "What exactly was Zeng Ni’s motive for making you do that?"

Yein Xiaomei replied softly, "I’m not entirely sure either."

"Ms. Zeng Ni only told me that she wanted to ask Mr. Yan for a favor, and she promised it was nothing illegal."

"She also said she wanted to test Mr. Yan’s character."

"That was the only reason I agreed. If she had intended to harm anyone, I never would have gone along with it..."

Hearing this, Yan Feifan snorted. "If you had really gotten a hold over me, do you think it would have been as simple as you claim?"

He then asked, "You’re apologizing and explaining all this to me now. Aren’t you afraid I’ll refuse to forgive you and cancel your mother’s surgery?"

"You should know I can do that."

Yan Feifan noticed a look of panic and unease cross Yein Xiaomei’s face.

Her lips trembled as she said, "Of course I’m scared. I’m terrified. I was also afraid that you’d find out the patient was my mother right before the surgery."

"At that point, there might be no turning back."

"I’ve been agonizing over it for the past few days. I was just so worried that trying to get away with it would end up hurting my mother..."

At this, her voice broke into a sob.

"Mr. Yan, it’s all my fault. Please, I’m begging you, save my mother... I... I really don’t know what to do anymore..."

At that, Yein Xiaomei began to cry in earnest.

Yan Feifan watched her wipe away her tears with the back of her hand, but they kept welling up as if from a spring.

His heart softened.

"Forget it. Seeing how desperate you are to save your mother, we’ll leave it at that. You weren’t the mastermind anyway. Just stay far away from me from now on."

"Thank you, Mr. Yan! Thank you..."

Yein Xiaomei kept bowing her thanks as she backed away, gradually putting distance between them...

When Yan Feifan and Yu Suye arrived at the private dining room in the restaurant, they found the food was already laid out.

They were halfway through their meal when someone opened the door and came in.

It was Yu Youlian.

Without any ceremony, she grabbed a bowl and chopsticks, sat down, and started eating. After devouring her food for a moment, she finally put her chopsticks down.

This left Yan Feifan and Yu Suye staring at each other in bewilderment.

Yu Youlian picked up a napkin, wiped her mouth, and sighed softly. "Mr. Yan, please excuse me for making a scene."

"An unexpected incident has kept me busy since early this morning. I haven’t eaten a thing. I’m starving."

Suppressing a laugh, Yan Feifan said, "I sometimes get ravenously hungry after finishing a six or seven-hour emergency surgery, too." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Mr. Yu, what was the unexpected incident?"

Yu Youlian said with some anger, "We caught a traitor who was trying to steal our trade secrets."

"A corporate spy?" Yan Feifan was intrigued.

Yu Youlian hummed in agreement. "Essentially, yes. It was an act of corporate espionage."

"The person was trying to steal the R&D data for the surgical robot."

"Fortunately, we had anticipated this and set a trap, leading him to a dummy database."

Yu Youlian met Yan Feifan’s gaze and said, "After our investigation and questioning, Mr. Yan, we discovered that their target is your puncture and injection technique."

Yan Feifan said, "Oh," and then asked, "Have you found out which domestic company is behind this?"

Yu Youlian shook her head. "Not yet. The man we caught only confessed that someone he’d recently met from his hometown paid him a lot of money to steal the data." freeweɓnøvel.com

"We’ve handed the matter over to the police for now."

Yu Youlian’s expression turned serious again. "Mr. Yan, the mastermind behind this might not be a domestic company. There’s a very strong possibility it’s a foreign medical technology corporation."

She elaborated, "Mr. Yan, your technique is currently the best in the world. It’s one-of-a-kind."

"You’ve already successfully treated many patients with it, and it’s no secret that we’re collaborating on developing a surgical robot."

"Frankly, foreign medical technology companies are always gathering intelligence on medical breakthroughs and innovations in advanced medical tech."

"They see the immense value in what you’re doing, so it’s perfectly normal for them to send corporate spies to investigate."

Yan Feifan asked a little nervously, "Mr. Yu, I don’t have anything to worry about, do I?"

Yu Youlian chuckled. "This is a medical breakthrough, not military technology. You don’t need to worry about your personal safety."

"Mr. Yan, you just need to be more careful about information security and confidentiality."

"And also, guard against honey traps and financial temptations..."

At this, Yu Suye cracked her knuckles and chimed in, "Auntie, on that front, I’ll keep a close watch on... I mean, protect Feifan."

Yu Youlian smiled again and took two agreements out of her briefcase.

"Mr. Yan, we need you to sign a supplementary agreement."

"This espionage incident has shown us the risks, but it has also revealed even greater prospects."

"In this supplementary agreement, we’re raising the one-time technology buyout fee to twelve million."

"Of course, it will also require you to take on more obligations..."
