Physician's Odyssey Chapter 591 - Stefan in Danger

"After Kuprin left, Kelov was brought away by a group of people for investigation." Looking at Su Tao, Yuan Lan noticed that the former was shrewd and asked, "What's next?"
"If it goes according to my expectations, Dobrynin will immediately announce this matter as soon as possible." Su Tao patiently analysed and continued, "When Stefan is at his wit's end, he will try all kinds of methods to resolve the desperate straits. At that time, if anyone can provide him with a solution, he will be filled with gratitude for that person and remember this favour in his heart for his entire lifetime."
It was Su Tao who got Hei Jin and Tang Shi to send the information about Stefan's condition. Naturally, his final objective wasn't to destroy Stefan, but to put the latter at a low point before reviving him.
As for Kelov, he had been reduced to an unfortunate tool. The relevant departments had already gathered the evidence, but the reason why they haven't arrested him was that they're waiting for him to lose his worth. Kelov was a complete scum in the medical industry. Not only did he hire someone to assassinate Su Tao, but he even used his patient's privacy as a tool. He's a humiliation of those in the medical industry, and no one would pity him for his outcome.
After a brief pondering, Su Tao replied, "To ensure that Stefan finds me, we have to create a coincidence. This way, I won't be the one begging to treat him, but he will be the one begging me to treat him."
After that, Su Tao spoke a few more words by Yuan Lan's ears. Although Yuan Lan remained calm, she was actually deeply shocked in her heart by Su Tao's terrifying scheming capability. From the start to the end, everything has been going according to his plan, and it's not an understatement to call it a perfect plan.
"Furthermore, to ensure that Stefan won't suspect us, it's best for fewer people to know about this, including Junzhuo!" Su Tao instructed.
Although Yuan Lan furrowed her brows, she still nodded her head.
"Oh, right. Are your scars healed?" Su Tao smiled.
"They're already healed, thank you." Yuan Lan replied.
Noticing that Yuan Lan's attitude towards him had changed, Su Tao smiled. "Leave the thanks out. I just hope that you can promote the partnership project with the military on my medicine. After all, those are genuine benefits for me."
Instantly, Yuan Lan regretted thanking Su Tao. Su Tao was still as hateful as always. With her tone turning cold, she replied, "We're currently studying it, and I will inform you immediately if there's an outcome."
Looking at Yuan Lan leaving with her face paled, Su Tao felt inwardly smug. After all, it's a sense of achievement for him to force such a cold secret agent to lash out.
Not long after Yuan Lan left, Jiang Qinghan entered with some takeaway. "There's pigeon soup for today!"
Pigeon soup had an effect of nourishing the blood, and it's suitable for patients who were still recuperating.
Su Tao did not reply to her but stared at Jiang Qinghan. He wasn't putting on an act, but he was genuinely thinking about how to break the news to Jiang Qinghan.
Curiously looking at Su Tao, Jiang Qinghan smiled. "Why are you staring at me? Is there anything on my face?"
"There's news on Yan Sun!" Su Tao sighed and continued, "According to our speculation, he's currently in Saint Petersburg operating a mercenary group, and Andre is his subordinate."
Hearing the news, Jiang Qinghan was stunned. Her response was just as Su Tao had guessed, a brief moment of loss.
"He sent Andre to assassinate you?" Jiang Qinghan bit on her lips.
"Nope! Andre might be his subordinate, but he has nothing to do with this attack on me." Su Tao's words made Jiang Qinghan breathe out in relief.
"Where is he right now? I want to see him!" Jiang Qinghan said with her eyes turning red, brimming with tears.
Jiang Qinghan had been putting up a strong front before others. Even Su Tao has never seen her so weak. Yan Sun was truly a knot in her heart. For some reason, Su Tao felt jealousy burning from his heart, and at the same time, he was also filled with hatred for Yan Sun. Since he has such a beautiful wife, why did he abandon his wife and pretend to be dead?
Su Tao inwardly sighed. This was a knot in Jiang Qinghan's heart. She had been focusing on her work because she couldn't forget Yan Sun. Since it's a knot in her heart, then it had to be treated accordingly. Only by letting her see Yan Sun, would the knot in her heart be resolved. Only then would her heart open up and allow others to come in.
"You have to be mentally prepared. According to the information I know, he doesn't want to see you." Su Tao bitterly smiled.
That was reasonable. Yan Sun had the ability to return to China right now, and if he really wanted to see Jiang Qinghan, why would he have to wait for Jiang Qinghan to come looking for him in Russia?
Tightly balling her fists, Jiang Qinghan smiled. "Don't worry about it. I only want an outcome, and it's sufficient to know that he's alive. As to whether he wants to see me, it's no longer important. At the very least, I want to meet him and bid farewell to him. This way, I can forget about him and start a new life."
Su Tao knew what Jiang Qinghan was saying. An emotional injury could only be understood by those that were similarly hurt, so it's futile no matter how much he comforted her. At this point in time, he could only silently stand by her to help her get through this.
In Su Tao's view, Jiang Qinghan's tribulation this time was more dangerous than any of her police cases.
Within the office, Stefan's hands were trembling due to his emotions as he roared, "Kelov, that despicable scum! He's a beast who doesn't have any bottom line!"
Stefan had a good temper, and it's unimaginable that he would curse out.
At this moment, Gregory could only lower his head. He did not dare to look at Stefan since he was the one who recommended Kelov. Hence, he was partly responsible for this event. He knew that Stefan might seem mild, but also had a vicious side to him. After all, how could anyone be in his position without sufficient means?
They're all schemers who kill without shedding blood personally, and at the same time, Gregory felt regret.
Who could have imagined that Kelov was so shameless? They had already paid Kelov to shut his mouth, but he still sold the information to Stefan's competitor.
Kelov was practically a humiliation in the medical industry, but fortunately, he's now arrested for a crime. Otherwise, Gregory swore that he would slap Kelov in his face.
The news reported that Stefan has contracted a weird disease with evidence provided as well.
"According to reliable information, Mr. Stefan has contracted a weird disease and can no longer control his body. Furthermore, he also loses control of his temper. Before this, there was even news that he beat up his subordinate…
"How can someone who couldn't even control his emotions be in authority? It's undeniable that Stefan has contributed to the company. Still, regardless if it's for his health or the company's stability, he should resign and find a place to treat his disease."
Seeing how the news ruthlessly criticised him, Stefan nearly collapsed. He was afraid of his secrets being revealed and could no longer retain his position. This was the reason why he hid his condition and even missed the best opportunity to seek treatment. But in the end, it was all wasted effort.
Then again, it's impossible for such news to appear in China.
In Russia, the media was all owned by private companies and investors, so they're not controlled by the nation. Dobrynin and Stefan were colleagues, but they represented two different factions and interests.
"There's a phone call for you!" Stefan's secretary entered with a grave expression and continued, "It's a call from the board of directors!"
Letting out a sigh, Stefan waved his hand to Gregory. Even if it was Gregory's mistake that caused this series of events, Stefan didn't dare to make things too difficult for Gregory. After all, Gregory was his personal doctor, and he had more information in his hands than Kelov. If Gregory took revenge on him, then he's totally doomed.
Taking over the phone from his secretary, Stefan decided to deny everything about his condition. Holding onto the medication that Kelov gave him, he took it despite his hesitation. Only this way, could he maintain that he could stay calm while talking to the director.
After all, his current condition was serious, especially after taking the medication provided by Kelov. He had now built up a strong reliance on the drug. If he didn't take it, the outbreak of his condition would be more painful. Furthermore, the outbreak would also come more frequently.
After he mediated with that director with great difficulty, Stefan felt exhausted. Laying on the couch, he breathed so heavily that it terrified Gregory, who immediately performed Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation to save Stefan.
Once again, the secretary entered once more. Seeing Stefan in pain, he briefly hesitated, but he still walked over and reported, "Ms. Shui has come to visit. Do I have to turn her down?"
Upon hearing the news, Stefan sighed. What's the meaning for Shui Junzhuo to visit him at this time?
He would soon lose his position, and that meant that the partnership would also go down the drain.
"She asked me to tell you that she has a method to resolve your current situation!"
Immediately, the secretary's words changed Stefan's thoughts. He tried his best to focus and ordered, "Quick, let her in!"
Right now, he needed someone who could save him.
Can Shui Junzhuo be the one to help him in his hour of need?
