Chapter 490 Dean, Stop Pretending
The relaxed smile on his face just now gradually disappeared, replaced by an indescribable complex expression, as if he was worried or thinking about something.
After a moment, he raised his head and said with a forced smile, "Chief Qi, I don't know what exactly this is involved in, but our hospital once had an incident and some patient information has been lost."
His voice was a little unnatural, and he didn't dare look directly at Qi Tongwei. He just lowered his head slightly, like a child who had done something wrong and was looking for an excuse.
When Qi Tongwei heard the dean's words, he sneered in his heart. He saw through the dean's trick at a glance.
He glanced at the dean calmly, his eyes seemed to be able to see through all disguises.
Then, with a hint of confidence, he said, "If you meet me, you've met a professional. I guarantee you'll be back to normal."
Qi Tongwei's voice was steady and powerful. He had unique expertise in information technology and was confident enough about recovering data.
When the dean heard Qi Tongwei's words, his body trembled slightly. He didn't expect Qi Tongwei to say that.
A flash of panic crossed his face, but he quickly tried to hide it.
He laughed dryly and said, "Chief Qi, please stop joking. Our hospital technicians have tried to recover, but to no avail. Do you really have a solution?"
There was a hint of doubt in the dean's words; he hoped Qi Tongwei was just bluffing.
Qi Tongwei looked at the dean, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Dean, don't underestimate the police's ability. Since I dare to say this, I am sure of it. Now, please take me to where the information is stored. Don't waste any more time."
There was unquestionable authority in Qi Tongwei's words. He knew that the dean was deliberately delaying time and wanted to cover up some truth.
The dean stood there, feeling very conflicted.
He was afraid that Qi Tongwei would discover some unspeakable secret after recovering the data, but he did not dare to openly disobey Qi Tongwei's orders.
Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, and his eyes wandered between Qi Tongwei and the surrounding environment.
The dean really couldn't do anything about Qi Tongwei. The documents assisting in the investigation were like a tight hoop that prevented him from breaking free.
There was a hint of panic in his eyes, and beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead, sparkling in the light.
He was thinking quickly about how to deal with the situation in his mind. Suddenly, he thought of an important person he once knew. In his opinion, this important person might be able to help him get out of the current predicament.
So he hurriedly took out his cell phone, his fingers trembling slightly with nervousness, and quickly searched for the familiar number in the address book.
After finding the number, he couldn't wait to press the dial button, his eyes fixed on the phone screen, praying silently in his heart that the call would be connected.
However, he could not get through to the other party's phone. Every busy tone was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.
His face became increasingly ugly, and sweat kept dripping from his forehead, wetting his collar.
Qi Tongwei watched the dean's every move quietly, his wise eyes seemed to be able to see through the dean's thoughts.
When Qi Tongwei saw the dean anxiously making a phone call, he already had the answer in his mind.
He said slowly, "Are you calling the director?"
This sudden sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and the dean froze all over.
His body seemed to be under a spell, unable to move at all, only his eyes could move.
He turned his head abruptly and looked at Qi Tongwei, his eyes full of horror and disbelief.
Qi Tongwei smiled slightly, but to the dean, that smile looked like a devil's smile.
Qi Tongwei said calmly: "Stop fighting, he's the one we're investigating."
When the dean heard these words, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
His mind went blank in an instant, and he felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He never imagined that the person he wanted to save was actually the person Qi Tongwei was investigating.
His lips trembled slightly, he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
He knew that once Qi Tongwei investigated in depth, it might involve many things that he was unwilling to face, and he himself might be deeply involved and unable to extricate himself.
Qi Tongwei sat in front of the hospital's office computer, operating it skillfully and began to investigate in depth on the hospital's intranet.
His eyes were focused and sharp, not missing any possible clues.
When checking the surgery-related information of the director's father and mother-in-law, Qi Tongwei found that the information showed that the director's mother-in-law's surgery looked relatively clean and neat. Judging from the data and records, it felt like a routine surgery, and the amount paid was not high.
This was very different from what he had learned before, and the doubts in his mind grew stronger.
The dean stood aside, occasionally glancing at the computer screen where Qi Tongwei was operating, and his expression looked uneasy.
Seeing Qi Tongwei frown, the dean quickly explained, "His mother-in-law is suffering from kidney failure, which is not very serious. Our hospital is very experienced in this area, so the operation went smoothly without too many complications."
As the dean spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand. Although he tried to keep his voice steady, a hint of nervousness could still be heard.
Qi Tongwei narrowed his eyes, and his gaze shot straight at the dean like two sharp swords.
He said slowly, "But that's not what was written in her medical records before she was transferred to the hospital."
When the dean heard these words, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
His face turned pale in an instant and his body swayed slightly, as if he had suddenly lost support.
He said awkwardly and bewilderedly, "Really? What did you write before?"
The dean's voice became a little hoarse, and his eyes were full of fear. He knew that things might be beyond his control.
Qi Tongwei repeated the diagnosis from another hospital without any hesitation.
His voice was steady and clear. "Before being transferred to the hospital, her kidney failure was so severe it was already life-threatening. Her kidney function had severely declined, and all indicators were in a very dangerous state. Her life could be in danger at any time. Given her condition, the cost of treatment could never be so low, and the surgery couldn't be as simple as you've recorded."
Every word Qi Tongwei said was like a bombshell, exploding in the dean's ears.
The dean stood there, opened his mouth, but didn't know how to respond.
His mind was in a mess. He had thought he could get away with it, but Qi Tongwei easily saw through it.
His heart was filled with regret, regretting why he had gotten involved in this matter. Now Qi Tongwei had caught him, and he didn't know what would be waiting for him next.
Looking at the dean's reaction, Qi Tongwei became even more certain that there must be some unspeakable secret.
He continued to search for other relevant information on the computer, hoping to further uncover the truth.
The dean was like a prisoner awaiting trial, trembling on the side. He knew that he was in great trouble, but he was powerless to escape.
The director froze in place, cold sweat oozing from his forehead, beads of sweat sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the ground.
His eyes were full of panic and struggle, and his heart seemed to be caught in a fierce storm, with all kinds of emotions intertwined.
Qi Tongwei looked at the dean quietly, his deep and sharp gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the dean's heart.
Qi Tongwei knew that the dean was in extreme turmoil and fear at the moment. He decided to strike while the iron was hot and persuaded him gently, "You need to think carefully about your position. Since I'm here to investigate him, it means I have sufficient evidence."
Qi Tongwei's voice was steady and powerful, and every word he said was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in the dean's heart.
As he spoke, he stood up from his seat and slowly walked to the dean.
Qi Tongwei stood still, lowered his head slightly, and locked his gaze with the dean's. He continued, "Do you think you can get away with this? From the very beginning, I sensed something unusual about this case. I didn't come here unprepared. I'd already done a lot of research beforehand."
Qi Tongwei paused, as if giving the dean some time to digest his words, and then continued, "I know what you're worried about. You're afraid that once you tell the truth, you'll get into trouble. But have you ever considered that if you continue to conceal it, once I gather all the evidence, you'll be in more than just a small trouble."
Qi Tongwei's eyes grew sharper, and he didn't give the dean any chance to escape. "The evidence I have involves many aspects, including financial records, medical procedures, personnel interactions, and so on. Your only way out now is to confess voluntarily, and perhaps you can get leniency."
As the dean listened to Qi Tongwei's words, his body trembled slightly involuntarily.
He knew that Qi Tongwei was not trying to scare him. From Qi Tongwei's unquestionable tone, he could feel that Qi Tongwei did have a lot of key evidence.
The dean's lips trembled slightly. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
Qi Tongwei noticed the dean's hesitation and spoke again, his voice a little softer but still full of authority: "You are a smart person and should know what is best for you. Don't be optimistic. Tell me everything you know now."
The dean suddenly became mysterious. He first hurriedly pulled the curtains, which made a rustling sound, as if he wanted to completely isolate the outside world from this room.
Then he hurried to the door and locked it. The series of actions seemed very hasty and cautious.
