Du Heng's actions showed his stance, and Xu Pinglin, not one to beat around the bush, held up the money and asked Du Heng one last time, "If I really put this money away, you still have time to reconsider."
Looking at Xu Pinglin with an irritated expression, Du Heng responded, "Just take it. I'm a man of my word. I won't back out."
"Fine, I am going to put it away."
Xu Pinglin opened the drawer and put the money inside.
Just as he was about to speak, the office door was pushed open, and in walked Dr. Hou.
Dr. Hou seemed to be in low spirits. After exchanging a brief greeting with Du Heng, he turned to Xu Pinglin and said, "Director Xu, Xue Yiwen wants to be discharged from the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Director Xu's hand, which was just lifting something, froze in mid-air, and his brows furrowed deeply. "But I just spoke with him this morning. Why does he want to leave the hospital now?"
