Zhou Yixian saw that Du Heng had nothing more to say, took the documents, and went outside. He needed to find the patient's family for the final signature. Once they signed, the treatment could formally begin.
Du Heng watched Zhou Yixian leave, his estimation of the man rising somewhat.
Regardless of whether he had previously intended to set Du Heng up, or his recent quiet and persistent questioning, he had ultimately signed.
Even though there was only Li Qiuhua's single successful disease record, he had still chosen to believe Du Heng. He had signed so the patient could recover and regain her health.
Du Heng imagined Zhou Yixian must have promised something, especially to get the Dean's signature; otherwise, a Dean wouldn't sign for an unknown doctor.
Zhou Yixian's sense of responsibility and trust alone were enough to make Du Heng respect him more.
Of course, professional ethics were one thing, and personal grievances were another.
