Chen Bin was instantly unsettled upon reading Shen Xue's message.
Recalling how heavy-hearted Cao Sanjin appeared when he visited him in the hospital in Tianhai, he understood the seriousness of the situation.
As things stand now, Cao Sanjin is Chen Bin's main supporter; if Cao Sanjin falls, it's over.
Pondering the matter, he decided to probe Cao Sanjin's trump card.
If Cao Sanjin can safely weather this crisis, they can face hardship together.
If not, they should quickly draw a clear boundary.
Knowing a phone call wouldn't suffice, Chen Bin decided to personally visit the city for a face-to-face conversation with Cao Sanjin.
The doctor, upon learning Chen Bin wanted to leave the hospital, was adamantly opposed.
After all, he was the County Magistrate; if anything happened to him, it might break the iron rice bowl.
After discussions, Chen Bin was allowed to leave temporarily for business, but had to return to the hospital quickly.
