By this point, Sun Jiaxiang had finished relaying the specifics of the situation and had nothing more to say. To say more would be to stray from the patient's actual condition.
For a time, silence settled between the two as they waited for Director Meng to return.
Fortunately, Director Meng wasn't gone for long. About three minutes later, he re-entered the room and said, "It's agreed. Come with me."
Who had agreed?
Agreed to what?
Director Meng didn't elaborate, and Du Heng didn't ask. As long as he followed Sun Jiaxiang's lead, he felt confident there would be no issues.
Truth be told, neither the patient's name nor seeing the patient in person perturbed Du Heng in the slightest. He had no idea who this elderly man was, what he had done, or what positions he had held. Therefore, he approached this examination and treatment as he would for any ordinary patient.
