Chapter 148

"Deputy Mayor Li, you're too polite. Since I'm not needed here, I'll be taking my leave."

Just as Zhang Xiaobei was about to leave, he found himself being stopped by Hao Jie.

"Little brother Zhang, tell me the truth, and don't hide it from me. What will be the consequence if someone removed your silver needles without your permission?"

As Hao Jie spoke, his gaze was fixed on Zhang Xiaobei, his heart incredibly conflicted.

Zhang Xiaobei was silent for a moment before he spoke. "Madam Sister-in-law, as I said before, removing the silver needles without authorization means Mayor Wei has only three hours. Within these three hours, if he does not receive effective treatment..."

Upon hearing this, Hao Jie's body stiffened, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Inside the patient room, Mr. Wu, invited by Madame Wei, carefully checked Mayor Wei Hongzhi's pulse and gently lifted his eyelids for observation.

Madame Wei, I would like to see the hospital's medical reports."
