Chapter 753: Medical Manuscripts
Standing in the sterilized area outside the operating theater was Yu Zhongjing’s private team, which consisted of four people. They all knew Gu Mang, so they were very excited to see her. As this was no place for casual chit-chat, they simply gave her a warm and welcoming look.
Yu Zhongjing cleared his throat and lifted his chin. “What are you guys still standing around for? Go prepare the anesthesia.”
Snapping back to their senses, the four of them hurriedly responded, “Yes, Director.”
The group thus entered the operating theater.
…
Three hours later, the surgery successfully ended.
As Yu Zhongjing and his team proceeded to wrap things up, Gu Mang, wearing a blue surgical gown, left the operating theater, removing the surgical gloves on her hands before tossing them into the bin. She then made her way to the sterilization area and carefully washed every inch of her hands before she returned to the changing room to change back into her own clothes.
After settling the post-surgery matters, Yu Zhongjing returned to his office where he saw Gu Mang, who was just about to leave. He took a few steps toward her. “Are you leaving already, Master?”
“Mm.” Gu Mang then passed the notebooks to him, who flipped through them upon receiving them.
“Master, do we keep half of them and give the other half to God Hand’s Chief Editor as usual?”
God Hand was an international medical journal, and the most mysterious papers in it were the handwritten medical manuscripts. However, only a tiny portion of the originals were published in the magazine. The bulk were handled by the publisher, with a portion of the specialized manuscripts being kept at the medical organization.
Gu Mang nodded and said insipidly, “Prices have gone up this year. Go negotiate a new price with them.” Even a packet of cigarettes was a dollar more now.
Since my master has given the word, I can feel free to request a higher price—no, demand an even higher price. Yu Zhongjing patted his chest confidently. “I definitely won’t let you down.”
His assurance only earned him an expressionless look from Gu Mang though, for she had a lot of faith in his ability to separate people from their money.
…
Two weeks later, the Sang Corporation was indicted by the Prosecutor’s Office. The case was handled with astonishing speed using the evidence Gu Mang had provided Lu Shangjin. The verdict, which usually took two months to come out, was already published on the court’s official website.
[The Sang Corporation’s head, Sang Qi, is found guilty of bribery, tax evasion, carrying out illegal transactions, along with sixteen other charges.]
The judge had found Sang Qi guilty. According to the law, he had to bear criminal responsibility for the crimes he had committed. He was thus sentenced to life imprisonment.
Next up was Sang Xue. With Jiang Shenyuan appearing in court in person, Sang Xue had no chance of winning the case at all.
Gu Mang only saw the final verdict, which ended up being quite a heavy sentence.
Everything happened so abruptly that the Sang Corporation went bust before the people in the capital could even react. The prestigious families in the capital, who had dropped their guards towards Lu Chengzhou in the past two years, all suddenly started behaving obediently and dared not provoke him.
…
Now that the Sang Corporation matter was settled, No. 14 Research Center’s sixth-generation fighter jets could finally enter the next stage of development after several rounds of successful testing.
He Yidu thus set up a gathering in a suburban clubhouse’s private room. Those who came were the usual gang. Yu Mufeng brought Jiang Sui along this time.
They opted to play poker. The memory of being utterly crushed by Gu Mang in mahjong was still on their minds. They had learned their lesson.
Gu Mang did not join in and sat by Lu Chengzhou’s side on the sofa instead. As usual, she played a mobile game with her legs crossed.
Lu Chengzhou did not allow her to touch alcohol, so he ordered someone to bring some milk tea and sweet snacks for her.
As Qin Fang and the others were rather chatty, the atmosphere in the room was rather lively.
