Liu Aiguo was the head of the Disease Control Department and also worked for the Health Bureau.
Currently, a case of guest poisoning had occurred at the hotel, and he definitely needed to go and have a look.
"Yes, I am a medical doctor. Go tell your manager to bring over the menu that the poisoned guest ordered tonight, right now!"
Wang Jinbo also instantly became spirited, poisoning? Wasn’t that exactly within his area of expertise?
Now, he could show off in front of Liu Xiaoxiao.
"Let’s go, take a look at the commotion!"
Liu Xiaoxiao, holding onto Qin Yu’s arm, followed behind Liu Aiguo and Wang Jinbo and walked out of the private room.
Quickly.
A group of people arrived at the lobby, where a middle-aged man was lying on the ground, comatose with foam at the mouth.
A woman beside him, wailing and sobbing, was making a phone call, which added to the already chaotic scene with onlookers gathering around.
"Xiao Zhou!"
Liu Aiguo shouted a greeting toward a man wearing a jacket amidst the crowd.
"Head Liu, what are you doing here!"
The man in the jacket looked up and put down his cell phone to speak.
"Dining upstairs with my daughter and two of her friends!"
Liu Aiguo pointed behind to Liu Xiaoxiao and then asked, "What’s the situation now?"
"Preliminary estimate is food poisoning. I was just out for dinner with a few colleagues and never expected to see people helping someone out of the hotel as soon as I arrived at the entrance. So, I had the hotel staff clear the area to avoid panic!"
The man in the jacket explained.
"Well, let’s have Xiao Wang take a look first; he’s a medical doctor!"
Liu Aiguo was going to retire in a month or two and didn’t want someone getting food poisoning at this crucial time, which could impact his career as a health official.
"Fine, then we’ll trouble this doctor to give the man a check. I asked the hospital, and they said it’ll take at least fifteen minutes to get here!"
The jacket man was still quite young and didn’t want the poisoned person to suffer complications—if something happened, it could mean the end of his career too.
Nowadays, the laws in Hua Country were becoming stricter and accountability more severe, which also made life tougher for these civil servants.
"Alright, Uncle Liu, leave it to me!"
Wang Jinbo rolled up his sleeves, approached the comatose man, first pried open his mouth to take a look, and then checked his nostrils and pupils, appearing very professional.
"Whoever ordered the menu, here it is!"
A waiter brought over the menu the poisoned guest had ordered that evening.
"Comrade, it’s not our hotel’s fault, our menu has been in use for several years without a single case of food poisoning. It’s more likely that he has some preexisting condition!"
The hotel owner wrung his hands, looking at Liu Aiguo and the man in the jacket with a distressed expression.
If they indeed found out it was food poisoning, not only would he have to compensate, but the hotel’s reputation would be tarnished, and who would dare eat at his place in the future?
"Don’t panic yet. If it is truly unrelated to the hotel, we will not wrong you!"
Liu Aiguo said gravely, then turned to Wang Jinbo to ask, "Xiao Wang, how is it?"
"It is definitely food poisoning, but..."
Wang Jinbo, holding the menu, showed a puzzled expression, "The dishes listed here are all common fare, none of which are toxic. Unless, someone poisoned it!"
"Ah... how could that be possible? We run a hotel as a business, why would we poison anyone?"
The hotel owner became even more panicked.
"This is what we’re going to do. Gather all the hotel staff, security guards, and chefs; don’t let a single person leave. I’m going to call the police station right now!"
Liu Aiguo was also frowning deeply. If there had indeed been poisoning, it was a criminal case.
"Puh..."
Just as Liu Aiguo finished speaking, the man lying on the ground began to vomit blood.
"Husband, husband... don’t scare me, please wake up! Wuuu..."
The woman beside him turned pale with fear, hugging the man as she cried.
"Uncle Liu, this is bad, the man can’t hold on anymore!"
Wang Jinbo’s expression changed abruptly; he knew for certain that if the man did die, Liu Aiguo would be implicated as well.
"Where’s the ambulance? Why hasn’t it arrived yet!"
Liu Aiguo’s face turned ashen, like ants on a hot pan. He was about to retire, yet such an incident had happened—it could ruin his good name in his later years.
"Section Chief Liu, it will take at least another ten minutes!"
The man in the jacket also looked extremely upset.
If someone actually died tonight, their Health Bureau would be the first to be held accountable.
"Xiaowang, you’re a Doctor of Medicine, think of a way quickly, save the person!"
Liu Aiguo grabbed Wang Jinbo’s hand and said.
"Uncle Liu, I... I don’t have any equipment or medicine, I can’t help!"
Wang Jinbo showed an embarrassed expression. He really wanted to help Liu Aiguo with his worries, but treating and saving lives required medicine, right?
You can’t just bring someone back to life with bare hands; that wouldn’t be a Doctor of Medicine—that would be a miracle worker.
"Qin Yu... could you try? Otherwise, my dad..."
Liu Xiaoxiao tugged at Qin Yu’s arm; among all the people present, only she knew just how amazing Qin Yu’s medical skills were.
"Well... okay then!" Find your next read on freewebnovel
Qin Yu nodded his head.
He also knew clearly that if something happened to this person, Liu Xiaoxiao’s father, who worked at the Health Bureau, would most likely be implicated. Moreover, being a former soldier, he would definitely not remain indifferent when he saw someone else’s life in danger.
Immediately, Qin Yu squatted in front of the man who was vomiting blood and, clenching his fist, he punched down.
Bang!
The sound was loud, shocking everyone present.
Is this guy trying to save him or kill him?
"What are you doing? Are you a doctor? Who saves people like that!"

The bleeding man’s wife was the first to react angrily, glaring at Qin Yu.
"Hey, young man, what are you doing? Stop messing around, will you?"
The hotel owner was also getting anxious. The man wasn’t dead yet and might have held on until the ambulance arrived. However, if Qin Yu punched him like that a couple of times, he might just die on the spot, and the hotel owner would be doomed.
"Exactly, Mr. Qin, you’re just a real estate tycoon. Do you even know how to treat someone? Stop joking around! I’m a Doctor of Medicine and even I’m helpless, what makes you think you can do anything?"
Wang Jinbo also took the opportunity to stomp on Qin Yu.
"Section Chief Liu, your daughter’s friend..."
The man in the jacket turned his gaze toward Liu Aiguo, clearly also skeptical that Qin Yu could save a poisoned person by punching him.
"Xiao Zhou, let him try!"
Liu Aiguo had dealt with Qin Yu once before and, although he was not sure how excellent his medical skills were, the fact that he was able to help his daughter recover proved he had some real skills.
"Bang!"
"Wow..."
Qin Yu, expressionless, punched the bleeding man in the chest again.
The man started vomiting even more violently, and the blood turned black.
"Husband... husband... what are you doing, get away!"
The bleeding man’s wife, crying a mess, tried to push Qin Yu away.
"Shut up!"
Qin Yu gave the bleeding man’s wife a stern look and then started massaging the man’s stomach.
If blood vomiting started after food poisoning, it meant the poison had entered the bloodstream. You could only hope to survive by vomiting the poisoned blood.
Perhaps to a layperson, his punches seemed very forceful, but only he was aware of the finesse behind them, and he couldn’t be bothered to explain so much to these novices.
"Cough cough..."
As Qin Yu massaged, the bleeding man gradually stopped vomiting blood and even opened his eyes groggily, "What’s happening to me..."
"Wuu... Husband, you’re awake?"
The bleeding man’s wife cried tears of joy.
