Chapter 81

"Who are you? Why are you asking about my cousin's condition?" He Dong hurriedly arrived at the hospital, pulling a nurse who had just come out of the intensive care unit to ask about Wang Qiang's condition, when suddenly a very unfriendly voice rang out.

He Dong turned around and saw a man in his thirties standing behind him, wearing glasses and with neatly combed hair. However, He Dong did not feel any good will towards this man, as his expression was arrogant and his gaze was scrutinizing.

Moreover, without introduction, He Dong knew the identity of the man in front of him. This person should be his cousin from his aunt's family. Wang Qiang's father had three siblings in total. The eldest sister married a real estate developer and had a son. Wang Qiang's father was the second eldest and was the chairman of the Wang Group. Wang Hai Ming, the general manager of Wang's Jewelry Company, was Wang Qiang's uncle and had only one daughter.

"I am Wang Qiang's college classmate! I heard that Wang Qiang is sick, so I came to visit!" He Dong answered with a slightly furrowed brow.

"College classmate? Another country bumpkin trying to climb the social ladder! My cousin is not in a condition to see visitors, so leave!" Wang Qiang's cousin said with disdain.

"How do you talk to people? Who are you calling a country bumpkin? Besides, you're just Wang Qiang's cousin; what right do you have to speak for him?" Wang Qiang's cousin's tone immediately infuriated He Dong.

"How dare you deny being a country bumpkin? I've seen plenty of people like you, always following behind me, doing nothing all day but flattering us rich people!" Wang Qiang's cousin looked at He Dong with a contemptuous gaze.

"Heh, you are really arrogant to the extreme!" He Dong looked at the other person with a smile that hid his anger.

"Scoundrel, what are you? How dare you call me arrogant?" Wang Qiang's cousin suddenly became furious and embarrassed.

"Who I am is none of your business. I came to see Wang Qiang, not you." He Dong finished speaking and ignored the man, walking directly towards the intensive care unit.

"Stop! Stop, you stop right there!" Wang Qiang's cousin shouted loudly at He Dong's back.

"Chen Yong, this is a hospital, why are you shouting?" At that moment, a familiar voice to He Dong appeared.

"Uncle, it's this person, this person is causing trouble, I was just...!" Wang Qiang's cousin, Chen Yong, turned to see the newcomer, his face changing slightly, and he quickly tried to explain.

"This is a hospital, not your home. The security guards haven't said anything, so why are you meddling in other people's business?" Wang Hai Ming had no good feelings towards his sister's nephew, who was skilled in drinking, gambling, and womanizing, a typical wastrel.

"But this person is here to see my cousin!" Chen Yong quickly explained again.

"Here to see your cousin? If he's here to see your cousin, why are you stopping him? Are you overstepping your bounds?" Wang Hai Ming became even more displeased upon hearing this.

"I... I...!" Chen Yong's face turned red with embarrassment, though he was inwardly furious, he did not dare to show it.

"What are you stammering about? Tell me what you've been doing these past few days. You've been arguing with doctors and flirting with nurses, and you claim to be here to accompany your cousin. I think you're just here for the show!" Wang Qiang's sudden coma had made Wang Hai Ming extremely irritable, and he could not help but take the opportunity to vent.

"Uncle!" He Dong, hearing Wang Hai Ming's angry rebuke of Chen Yong, immediately turned back. After all, there were many things he needed to understand from Wang Hai Ming.

"Ah! He Dong, you're here to see Qiang Qiang!" Wang Hai Ming did not expect He Dong to be the one visiting Wang Qiang, which made him even more disgusted with Chen Yong, and he gave Chen Yong a fierce glare. He Dong held a high status in Wang Hai Ming's heart, not to mention the stable diamond supply, which made Wang Hai Ming dare not underestimate him.

Chen Yong did not expect He Dong to know Wang Hai Ming, and seeing Wang Hai Ming's attitude, he realized He Dong was not the country bumpkin he thought. His expression became flustered, and he dared not even look at He Dong, walking away with his head down.

"I just heard about Wang Qiang's situation today, so I came over immediately. What happened to Wang Qiang? We were fine when we talked on the phone a few days ago." He Dong and Wang Hai Ming seemed to ignore Chen Yong, and He Dong was now preoccupied with Wang Qiang's condition.

"Sigh, we still don't understand what happened! Qiang Qiang's coma was sudden, and we still haven't found out the cause!" Wang Hai Ming said with a worried expression.

"If it can't be diagnosed here, why not go elsewhere, to the capital, or even abroad!" He Dong said urgently.

"The experts here say that Qiang Qiang's condition is not suitable for moving, and the medical equipment here is already very advanced. So Qiang Qiang's father has gone to the capital to bring the best doctors here for a consultation!" Wang Hai Ming explained.

"Uncle, can I go in and see Wang Qiang?" He Dong asked tentatively.

"Sure, I'll take you in!" Wang Hai Ming agreed without hesitation.

Soon, He Dong saw Wang Qiang lying in a VIP single room in the intensive care unit. Wang Qiang was connected to various tubes that He Dong could not name, and a heart rate monitor beside the bed showed that Wang Qiang's heart rate was much slower than normal. Two nurses were drawing blood from Wang Qiang, possibly for some tests.

"Although there's no visible change, according to the observations over the past three days, Qiang Qiang's heart rate is gradually slowing down. The doctors say that if we don't find the right treatment, Qiang Qiang will eventually die from heart failure!" Wang Hai Ming's voice was filled with infinite sorrow.

"Uncle, don't worry, Wang Qiang will be fine. Good people will have good fortune!" Seeing Wang Qiang lying in the bed, He Dong had an impulse to use hydrotherapy on him, but he restrained himself. However, he had already made up his mind that if all the doctors were at a loss, he would definitely use hydrotherapy on Wang Qiang, even if it meant being discovered.

"Right, my Qiang Qiang is strong, he will get through this!" Wang Hai Ming nodded.

After visiting Wang Qiang, He Dong had some vague plans in mind, so he prepared to leave. Wang Qiang's current state made He Dong feel particularly depressed, but as he walked to the door, a cotton swab stained with a bit of Wang Qiang's blood in the trash bag caught his attention.

He carefully picked up the cotton swab, examined it closely, and then sniffed it. His expression changed.
