Chapter 288: Checking Records
It seemed that the man had no idea how serious it was for a doctor to accept red envelopes, hence why he could make such a statement. He wasn’t deliberately trying to harm Si Chen.
Imagine, if it were anyone, learning that your kin was being operated on by an inexperienced doctor, anyone would feel apprehensive, afraid of being treated like a guinea pig, and it was normal to have some extreme reactions.
However, it was unclear who had maliciously told him that this was Si Chen’s first time operating as the main surgeon.
Right now, Tong Yao didn’t have the time to think too much. It was much easier to handle as long as it wasn’t a deliberate attempt to frame Si Chen.
While Tong Yao sighed with relief, she also felt perplexed.
"Are you sure you gave the red envelope directly to Doctor Si and saw him take the money?" Tong Yao asked.
"I am sure." The man nodded and said: "At that time, Doctor Si really didn’t want to accept the red envelope. It was me kneeling and begging him that forced him to accept it reluctantly. It’s all my fault. Doctor Si is a capable and moral doctor. I went too far. I sincerely apologize to you. I am so ashamed that I can’t even face Doctor Si after what happened."
The man was truly remorseful and ashamed, his face was flushed red. He pleaded for someone to take the money, then later filed a complaint against them. No matter how you look at it, he was the one in the wrong.
Seeing that the man didn’t seem to be lying, Tong Yao was puzzled. Although the man begged Si Chen to take the money, based on Si Chen’s character, he definitely wouldn’t have done such a thing. One hundred yuan is not a trivial amount, equivalent to a month’s salary for him, but his family owned two businesses and they didn’t lack such a small amount of money.
Could it be that he accepted the money and subsidized it for Lin Fengying?
