“Why are you recording? A hospital is a sacred place, photography is forbidden!” shouted the doctor after seeing someone point a camera at himself. He faced the security guard and ordered loudly, “Pull those who have no business with me out of my office!”

However, there were only a few security guards in the hospital and they were unable to stop the crowd.

“What’s going on?!”

It was then that a loud yell was heard, sending the crowd into a brief silence.

A middle-aged man in a white coat was seen walking over quickly. Behind him were several doctors and nurses.

“It’s Director Chen from the hospital!” Many people exclaimed and stood to one side with awe on their faces.

“Director Chen is here. I wonder how this matter will be dealt with?”

“Since he’s here, I’m eighty percent sure that the man can’t do anything about it. The patients are all but forgotten once the hospital is famous!”

“Yeah, many people suffered because of the hospital but dare not speak up even though they’re angry!”

“How many hospitals are doing it for the people now? It’s all about the money!”

Director Chen was the deputy director of the hospital and had much more authority than normal doctors. He was responsible for miscellaneous matters within the hospital and he also handled many arguments among doctors. Although his authority was not all-encompassing, the ordinary person would regard that authority as very important because it was directly interrelated to his own life.

It was clear, however, that he did not have a good reputation.

“Director Chen, you’re here.” The doctor breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stood up. He pointed at Ye Lingchen and his parents. “This group of people came to the hospital to make trouble. They’re accusing me of insulting our hospital’s reputation!”

Then he pointed to Ye Jin, “He is also a doctor and I have no idea what’s he intends to achieve by discrediting me!”

Director Chen’s eyes fell on Ye Jin. A touch of seriousness flashed in his eyes along with pride. He asked, “You’re a doctor from which hospital?”

“Rugao City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.” Ye Jin replied faintly.

“Rugao City?” The disdain in Director Chen’s eyes was apparent. “A small, uninfluential county? You insult your pears and discredit Metropolis Hospital. Your character is questionable, and your medical qualification certificate will be revoked. Say goodbye to medical practice. ”

His tone was faint and he declared Ye Jin’s end as though he was talking about some ordinary thing.

“On what grounds? Your hospital’s doctor is clearly the problem here!” Ye Jin looked blankly at Director Chen for a brief moment.

“We are well aware of our own doctor’s qualities. You’re slandering us!” Director Chen asserted loudly in a righteous manner. “We will now draft a letter to recommend the revocation of your medical qualifications!”

Ye Jin’s face turned red instantly and he was very angry.

He never thought that the doctors in that hospital would be so abominable.

A complete disregard for reason, as well as turning a blind eye to right and wrong, was suggestive of indiscriminate protection of unethical doctors.

Ye Jin even started to doubt humanity itself. Did doctors in such big cities have no medical ethics at all?

Leaving aside the wanton prescribing of medicine to spur patients into spending money, it was simply absurd to be prescribing wrong medicines that were aimed at deliberately deceiving the patients.

“Everyone can leave now. Seek treatment if you are ill, but if you’re not, please don’t disturb the patients. This incident is a result of someone malicious trying to find fault, but it’s all good now...” Director Chen waved his hand and started to usher everyone out.

One could either choose to get treated or not. Hospitals were oppressive that way.

“This is too brutal! I’ll report you!” The fisherman froze for a long time before roaring out in his helpless voice.

“Our conscience is clear and we are not afraid of malicious discrediting!” Director Chen sneered. “If you don’t trust in our hospital, you go to other ones. If you stay here, I’ll call the police and have them arrest you!”

Those simple sentences cleared the tension, distorted the truth, and even made threats. It would surely be a big blow to the man.

The mess was cleared up in one swift move, leaving everyone lost for words.

There was no evidence whatsoever that the black bottle was given by the doctor. As for the two fish, it was merely a token of gratitude from the patient. Receiving some gifts was completely normal and there was nothing unusual about it.

“Now, do you want to go out by yourself, or do you want me to invite you out?” Director Chen asked. He looked at Ye Lingchen’s family with a taunting look.

Ye Jin’s face was ugly, his mood had soured, and his lips trembled. Despite that, he had no idea what else to say.

He has been a doctor all his life and harbored a longstanding desire to visit Metropolis Hospital and gain some knowledge. It truly shocked him to learn of all those things!

“Director Chen, right? If you want to know whether this medicine as prescribed by him, all you need to do is see if there anything similar in his drawer. If that doesn’t help, you can call a police officer to check if the bottle has that doctor’s fingerprints.”

The faint voice made Director Chen’s face sink slightly. He shifted his gaze to Ye Lingchen.

Since that was not the first time the doctor did something like that, it was obvious that he had more than one bottle. According to others, this doctor might not only have that kind of medicine—there was a possibility that he may have hidden other medicines just to swindle the other patients.

With each passing day that the patient’s illness did not heal, the patient would always be the hospital’s cash cow.

“Who are you to say that? You think I’ll check just because you say so?” Director Chen scoffed. “What authority do you have to suspect a doctor from our hospital? Please leave this hospital right now!”

Ye Lingchen looked calm and shook his head indifferently. “I’ll give you one last chance. Save this doctor at your own risk!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“At my own risk?”

Director Chen and the doctor were both amused. They looked at Ye Lingchen as if he was mentally handicapped. “Boy, who do you think you are? Are you even aware of yourself when you spout out all this nonsense?”

“You don’t have to answer me in a hurry. I’ll give you half a minute to think it over.” Ye Lingchen’s tone did not waver.

“Are you bluffing me?!” Director Chen laughed, “Do you think I’m from Xiamen University? Go on and pretend! I’m curious to see what you can do.”

At the same time, an old man from one of the hospital’s offices vaguely heard the noise coming from downstairs.

That particular floor was where the Hospital Director’s office was. He was the head of Metropolis Hospital and he could see the situation in the entire hospital lobby from there.

The old man looked at the chaotic crowd downstairs and frowned slightly, “What’s going on downstairs?”

“Some patient-doctor disagreement. Director Chen went down to deal with it,” someone said.

The old man nodded slightly and was just about to look away when he froze suddenly and remained rooted on the spot.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, but when he confirmed that it was Ye Lingchen’s figure, his entire body trembled instinctively.

Miracle Doctor Y!

It was Miracle Doctor Y!

Miracle Doctor Y visited Metropolis Hospital in his private capacity and happened to witness the doctor-patient disagreement!

The old man’s face reddened instantly and his heart began thumping. He could not afford to be nonchalant about it and therefore hurried downstairs at once.

The others were briefly stunned before following suit immediately.

“Old Yu, where are you going? You don’t need to take part in such trivial matters.”

“Trivial matters?” Old Yu said while walking anxiously. “This is no trivial matter. This is something serious!”
