Just as Su Tao had predicted, everyone knew about this matter by the next morning, which meant someone must be behind promoting this incident.
As a result, many people came over to express their condolences. Amongst them, there were some gloating to watch this matter blow up, while some genuinely tried to keep this matter under control.
Even Zhang Ping, who was Du Ping's superior, as well as the person in charge of Hanzhou City, has also arrived. When he saw Su Tao, he had some impression of the latter. He waved his hand towards Du Ping and looked at Su Tao. "Can the patients regain their consciousness?"
Shaking his head, Su Tao frankly replied, "Not for the time being!"
However, Zhang Ping noticed that Su Tao might know more about it, so he asked in puzzlement, "There's a conspiracy behind this?!"
With a bitter smile, Su Tao shook his head. "The patient's condition is still within my speculations, but I do not dare to come to any conclusion without evidence. But don't worry, the riddle will be revealed when the time is right."
Zhang Ping was looking at Su Tao with a complicated gaze. He had no idea what Su Tao was trying to do, so he sighed, "The patient has a special ident.i.ty; he's the heir to SG Chaebol. The South Korea Emba.s.sy has been applying pressure on the Province, and the Provincial Secretary has also been alerted by this matter."
"I can tell you that the restaurant might be related to this food poisoning incident, but they have nothing to do with the patients still being unconscious." Su Tao patiently explained as he continued, "Although this county hospital's facility is inferior to a city hospital, food poisoning isn't anything huge, and not to mention that the poison has already cleared up."
Zhang Ping more or less understood Su Tao's explanation, so he said in a grim tone, "We'll continue to wait, then." At this moment, there's nothing he could do as well. After all, he's not a doctor.
As he chatted with Su Tao, his secretary rushed over and reported, "There's a call from the higher-ups!"
With his brows knitted, Zhang Ping answered the call, and just as he had expected, the SG Chaebol was doing their best to apply pressure to all parties.
"How did this happen?!" Luo Xiao questioned with an unhappy tone from the other side.
"It's still under investigation, and I will keep you informed if there's any progress." Zhang Ping weakly explained.
"The SG Chaebol has brought a project worth billions to the Huainan Province this time, and if it wasn't for someone's strong recommendation, we wouldn't be suggesting the representatives from SG Chaebol to Hanzhou City." Luo Xiao was outraged.
"This is an incident that no one wishes to have happened, but since it has already happened, we will do our best to handle it." Zhang Ping displayed composure. He wasn't panicking from Luo Xiao's poor att.i.tude.
Su Tao sighed as he watched this development. This matter has implicated factors, and at this stage, it's practically a contest for power. Thus, it's impossible to keep it under control with someone trying to blow up this matter in the dark.
The other party wasn't targeting Du Ping or Zhang Ping alone, but someone else above them.
He had also heard of the recent disturbance, but he never expected that the storm would be so close to him, not to mention that he already had half of his foot into this mess. Then again, Su Tao had already predicted that, as a doctor, it's unrealistic to be completely free from such incidents.
Two hours later, a group of people arrived, with a total of three vehicles. The first vehicle was the specialist sent over from the province's hospital; the second being the personnel from SG Chaebol; the third being Luo Xiao and his party.
