144: Chapter 144 Houses Built with Formaldehyde

Shayiva sat down next to Chen Hao, her tone displeased.

"The doctor said my physical condition is very poor, suspecting multiple complications. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise, I might have ended up like CEO Wei..."

She suddenly thought of something and immediately perked up, looking intently at Chen Hao.

"Do you think CEO Wei's serious illness might also be because of the house?"

Chen Hao had already considered this point and explained.

"There is a very high possibility."

Pang Dahai chimed in.

"It's not a high possibility, it's definitely related to the house. If you don't do renovations, you wouldn't know, but excessive formaldehyde is equivalent to chronic poisoning. Living in a house like that, something is bound to happen within half a year."

Shayiva patted her chest.

"Fortunately, I travel frequently and don't stay here often. Sigh, I used to suspect it was due to my constitution, but I never thought it would be because of the house. This is too exploitative."

Chen Hao interrupted her monologue.

"Do you want to call CEO Wei and tell him?"

Shayiva retorted.

"No, I need to get the diagnostic report and physical examination results first. Reporting it then will be much more convincing."

"That makes sense."

Pang Dahai yawned again, stood up, and said.

"If you two are fine, I'm heading back. I have construction tomorrow."

Chen Hao shook hands with Pang Dahai, thanking him for his help today.

"Hao Zi, saying things like that makes us strangers. Your business is my business. If you need anything, just say the word."

After seeing Pang Dahai off, Shayiva watched his retreating figure and asked Chen Hao.

"Is he reliable?"

Chen Hao countered.

"What do you mean by reliable?"

Shayiva's gaze became very sharp.

"From my understanding of CEO Wei, if he finds out his serious illness is due to the Group's renovation, he will definitely fly into a rage. But CEO Wei is currently undergoing treatment and cannot return to the country for a short period. The investigation will definitely fall on us. I need someone reliable and professional to help me."

Chen Hao understood Shayiva's worry and solemnly assured her.

"Pang Dahai is absolutely reliable, please don't worry about that."

"Then there's no problem."

The two waited a while longer. The attending physician called Shayiva's name in the hallway. They both entered the doctor's office. The attending physician took out Shayiva's lab reports.

"You need to take care of your health! You absolutely cannot overwork yourself."

Shayiva pressed further.

"What do you mean?"

The attending physician spoke while presenting various results.

"Be moderate in your private life; I won't elaborate further on that. This is your blood report; there are many abnormal data points. Furthermore, the X-ray shows your kidney function is rapidly declining. If this continues, it will worsen into kidney failure within half a year. Also..."

The doctor rambled on about a host of ailments. For a 28-year-old like Shayiva, her body was equivalent to someone over 40—sick all over.

The doctor assumed that Shayiva, this Foreign Girl, had a chaotic private life, leading to her condition, and lectured her earnestly.

Chen Hao could no longer listen and asked.

"Doctor, is there any possibility that this is caused by living in a house with excessive formaldehyde for a long time?"

The doctor paused.

"It's not impossible. Causing so many severe complications—could you be living in a house built of formaldehyde?"

Chen Hao continued.

"Almost. I had a professional test the formaldehyde today, and it's severely over the limit. Here are the figures."

Upon seeing the excessive levels, the doctor's eyes widened as he stared at Shayiva.

"How long did you live in this house?"

Shayiva replied.

"About a year."

The doctor was even more incredulous.

"You lived there for a year and aren't dead? You must be a monster!"

Chen Hao quickly explained.

"She travels frequently, so she wasn't here all the time. Based on her schedule at home, she only truly lived there for about two months, maximum."

The doctor finally relaxed.

"That makes sense. If one truly lives in such an environment, even a healthy person will get sick."

Shayiva suddenly said with great seriousness.

"Doctor, can you take responsibility for what you just said?"

The doctor was a bit confused, not understanding why the Foreign Girl was suddenly asking this.

"I am a professional in treating illnesses. My judgment is based on experience; of course, I can be responsible."

Shayiva wasted no more words and immediately took out her phone to dial. A few seconds later, the call connected. The person on the other end was Wei Xinglong, CEO Wei.

"CEO Wei, I have something very important to report to you."

Following this, Shayiva delivered a lengthy explanation: the company's house had severely excessive formaldehyde, which had caused her to become seriously ill, and she suspected CEO Wei's serious illness was also due to formaldehyde.

With solid reasoning and the doctor present as a witness, Wei Xinglong's emotions remained relatively stable. He told Shayiva.

"I already know about this matter. Focus on your treatment first, get your health back in order."

Chen Hao could tell that Wei Xinglong's tone hadn't changed; he was very calm, almost like the calm before a storm.

Following the doctor's advice, they completed the admission procedures for Shayiva.

Just like that, after being full of energy during the day, Shayiva was admitted to the hospital that evening.

It was fortunate that her illness was discovered early; otherwise, just like Wei Xinglong, it would have been diagnosed as late-stage terminal illness.

Chen Hao only now learned that Wei Xinglong had aplastic anemia, a type of blood disease, which is also a form of leukemia.

Entering the ward, Shayiva muttered while tidying the hospital bed, somewhat agitated, constantly mumbling.

"I always thought it was just declining bodily functions; I never thought the house was the problem. These unscrupulous merchants—I will definitely make them pay the price!"

Shayiva got a private room with two beds; she took one, and Chen Hao, as her companion, took the other.

Because of his eyes, drowsiness washed over Chen Hao as soon as he lay down; he couldn't even keep his eyelids open.

Thus, amidst Shayiva's curses, Chen Hao fell into a deep sleep.

The next day.

Chen Hao was woken up by the noisy hospital environment. Medical staff came to check on the room and drew more blood from Shayiva.

After washing up, Chen Hao told Shayiva to rest well and then headed to the sales office for work.

Originally, Chen Hao thought that after learning the truth, CEO Wei would surely fly into a rage today, causing the entire real estate company to suspend operations for rectification.

However, when he arrived at the sales office, there was no disturbance at all; work proceeded normally.

The calm was somewhat abnormal, as if nothing had happened, except for everyone's curiosity about Chen Hao's eyes.

That's right, Chen Hao's eye area was still bright red, making him look like a giant panda. Everyone who saw him was curious.

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

Chen Hao only said he had an eye irritation and didn't elaborate further.

During the morning meeting, before the collective cheer, Manager Huang took the lead in praising Chen Hao's work ethic.

"Attending work despite being ill—this is worthy of everyone's emulation. This is the attitude towards work! Let's give him some applause!"

After the cheer, they began the day's work. Manager Huang took Chen Hao into his office and discussed two matters.

"The first matter: Have the design blueprints for the River View Residential Area been finalized? When can we start the renovation? You need to push this forward quickly."

"The second matter: In the future, when selling houses, renovation must be handed over to the company's construction team. Especially for those country folk—tell them this is a mandatory company regulation. We must firmly resist private renovations, or they will have to pay a huge property deposit."

"This is the property notice. Give it to the clients so they know their place!"
