Ju Hua Zai Liu Lang

Chapter 269 The Scapegoat

"Dr. Liu, can you explain?" Meng Qi said in a deep voice.

Liu Dawei felt a little guilty, but he put on a brave face and said, "Do you believe him or me? Do you think someone his age can be a doctor? If you choose to believe him, then you can check out. I will not be responsible for any subsequent issues!"

"I've already spent over two hundred thousand in your hospital, and now you're saying you're not responsible?" Li Se sneered.

Liu Dawei was furious. "What does this have to do with you? If you keep causing trouble here, I'll call security!"

Meng Qi hesitated. While Li Se's words made sense, could someone so young really be a doctor? He couldn't give up this major hospital just because of Li Se's few words.

"Brother Meng, I can vouch for him. His medical skills are absolutely trustworthy!" Tang Xi, although she found Li Se annoying, undeniably acknowledged his exceptional medical skills, which was why he was appointed as an imperial physician.

"I can regulate it, and it will take effect in ten minutes," Li Se said confidently.

"Really?" Meng Qi was excited.

"Ten minutes?" Liu Dawei laughed heartily. "Who do you think you are, to take effect in ten minutes? With this pregnant woman's body, it's impossible to recover without months of recuperation. You should mind your own business."

"Since I said it, I have a hundred percent certainty!" Li Se looked at Liu Dawei and added, "Besides, Dr. Liu, haven't you witnessed my medical skills before?"

Liu Dawei fell silent at once.

Tang Xi recounted the details of the delivery a while ago to Meng Qi.

"Divine Doctor Li, then I entrust my wife to you!" Meng Qi now completely trusted Li Se.

"Alright!" Li Se nodded and walked towards the hospital bed.

"I don't agree!" Liu Dawei shouted. "This is my patient, and I won't allow some unknown doctor to treat her!"

"Dr. Liu, I am the patient's family member, and I have the right to choose who treats her!" Meng Qi said coldly.

Liu Dawei adamantly refused. "This is Ren Ai Hospital, and as a doctor here, I cannot permit just anyone to treat patients. I am responsible for the patient, and the hospital strictly prohibits such actions. If anything goes wrong, who will be responsible?"

"I will be responsible!" Meng Qi stated.

"You, you, you..." Liu Dawei was enraged and immediately called the hospital leadership.

Li Se ignored Liu Dawei and placed his hands on the pregnant woman's shoulders, channeling his spiritual energy. This was also a form of traditional Chinese medicine massage, as pregnant women could not undergo acupuncture. He had to resort to this method.

Liu Dawei was very anxious, as he knew Li Se's medical skills. If Li Se managed to cure her, Meng Qi would definitely demand reimbursement for the previous consultation fees.

Many doctors from Ren Ai Hospital rushed over. As soon as the dean saw Li Se treating the pregnant woman, he immediately shouted, "Stop! Who allowed you to treat the pregnant woman here?"

"I allowed it!" Meng Qi said sternly.

"This family member, you are completely messing around. At his age, what could he possibly understand?" the dean reprimanded. "This is your wife, and you are gambling with her life!"

"This is traditional Chinese medicine massage? Alas, so young, how could he possibly understand Chinese medicine?" an old Chinese medicine expert shook his head and sighed.

"All of you, shut up!" Li Se shouted coldly. He hated it the most when others made noise while he was treating a patient.

"What is your attitude?" the dean pointed at Li Se and yelled, "Believe it or not, I'll call the police!"

"I am the police, you don't need to call. He was brought by me!" Tang Xi said calmly.

"Officer, aren't you being unreasonable?" the dean angrily retorted.

Tang Xi said, "You at Ren Ai should know that a while ago, a divine doctor saved a pregnant woman who was about to miscarry. Your Dr. Liu said only one could be saved, but he saved both lives in the end!"

"It was him!" The dean was somewhat surprised but quickly sneered, "That was because our Dr. Liu was assisting. Without our Dr. Liu, could he have saved both lives?"

Ren Ai Hospital had indeed heard about this incident, but it was from Liu Dawei, who had claimed most of the credit for himself. The hospital naturally believed him, especially after seeing Li Se, they trusted him even more. It was definitely Liu Dawei's achievement!

So young, and a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, what could he possibly know about childbirth?

While they were arguing, Li Se had finished the massage and then said to Meng Qi, "Her body has been regulated back to normal."

"Xiao Rui, how do you feel?" Meng Qi anxiously asked.

"Mm, I feel very good," Zhang Xiaorui nodded. She had looked extremely weak before, but after Li Se's massage, her complexion had improved significantly, and she seemed much more energetic. All her vital signs had returned to normal.

At this point, the dean and the others were speechless.

"Did you use traditional Chinese medicine massage to regulate her back to normal?" the old Chinese medicine expert asked with disbelief.

"Naturally!" Li Se said lightly. "Traditional Chinese medicine can indeed regulate the body, which is better than your hospitals' various X-rays and nutritional supplements."

The dean and the others were blushing furiously. They had just doubted him and were now proven wrong.

"Impossible, it's definitely because of my treatment that she recovered!" Liu Dawei argued stubbornly.

"Still talking about your treatment?" Meng Qi thought about the money he had spent in the hospital while his wife remained so weak, and he became enraged. His wife had suffered a lot. He roared at Liu Dawei, "Dr. Liu, I spent over two hundred thousand, and you were about to ask me to top up another two hundred thousand, yet my wife's body remained weak. If you don't give me an explanation, I will expose you!"

"You... What right do you have to expose me? I was doing this for your wife's good!" Liu Dawei became nervous.

"Still saying it's for my wife's good? It's been over a month, why am I still weak after spending all that money? If it weren't for Divine Doctor Li, my wife would still be undergoing treatment!" Meng Qi said through gritted teeth.

Liu Dawei tried his best to defend himself, "That's because..."

"Silence!" the dean interrupted Liu Dawei and then looked at Meng Qi, saying, "Perhaps Dr. Liu made a mistake, but his intentions were for your wife's well-being. How about this, we can refund fifty percent, and for all subsequent treatment fees, we are willing to charge only fifty percent. What do you say?"

"No way!" Meng Qi shook his head coldly. "I happen to know some reporters, and I will expose your hospital!"

The dean's expression turned grim. The other doctors also looked displeased. If this were to be exposed, it would have a significant impact on Ren Ai Hospital.

"Full refund, what do you say?" the dean said helplessly.

"No need!" Meng Qi was exceptionally firm.

"Why go through all this?" the dean said angrily. "Dr. Liu may have made a mistake, but his intentions were good. You're just causing trouble!"

Meng Qi ignored them. "I will only expose it. Let all the citizens decide what is fair!"

The dean and the others didn't know what to say. As for Liu Dawei, his legs were trembling. If this were truly exposed, his career would be over, as he had simply treated Meng Qi as a gullible rich man.
