Bai Xi raised her hand slightly, and several men in black combat attire rushed in, appearing ready for battle.
The balding man, facing the newcomers, was instantly intimidated. "You, you, what are you doing? This is a hospital! If you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll make sure you rot in jail!"
The men in black combat attire, without even glancing at the balding man, looked in unison at Bai Xi, seemingly awaiting her instructions.
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping indifferently over the bottle of sleeping pills not far away. "Force-feed him all the sleeping pills on that table!"
The balding man shouted, "You wouldn't dare! This is a hospital, and I'm the director..."
Before he could finish, a man in black grabbed him from behind, as if lifting a stray dog. Another, cooperating with uncanny precision, directly seized the bottle of sleeping pills and poured them into his mouth, forcing his jaw shut and ensuring he swallowed them all.
Afterward, they threw him to the ground like a dead dog.
The balding man scrambled up, gagging and trying to induce vomiting. The intense stimulation caused him to expel some of the sleeping pills, but a larger, potentially lethal dose remained in his stomach.
Lying on the ground, the balding man was filled with despair, his previous arrogance completely gone. He looked at the orderly he had just insulted, pleading, "Save me, please save me!"
The two orderlies stepped back, their eyes wide with fear as they looked at Bai Xi, afraid to make a move.
They were orderlies, accustomed to life and death in the hospital, but the scene unfolding before them was something they had never witnessed.
At that moment, Han Mo, who had been standing to the side, stepped forward. He retrieved a gastric lavage kit from the specially equipped medical storage unit in the VIP ward and began the procedure for the balding man.
Bai Xi's delicate brows furrowed slightly. "You're going to help him?"
Her voice was icy, chilling everyone present, especially the men in black combat attire, who all looked at the man still helping the balding man with expressions of silent sympathy.
This man was truly audacious!
Han Mo replied calmly, "I am a doctor. My duty is to save lives and heal the injured. While he is indeed unworthy of being a doctor, if he dies here today, you will be in trouble."
Bai Xi raised her eyebrows.
Trouble? Not at all!
"So, you believe I'll be in trouble, and your current action to save him is out of concern for my safety?"
He was far too presumptuous.
Han Mo continued his work without pause. "He is not a good person to begin with, and his actions could have been resolved through simpler channels... I merely do not wish for you to dirty your hands."
At these words, Bai Xi's pupils flickered slightly, and she instinctively looked at her own hands.
These hands had long been stained with blood. She dealt with all sorts of people—organized, skilled, feared, and extremely dangerous. There were extreme terrorists, bloodthirsty and savage bomb enthusiasts, and wicked, unscrupulous bio-laboratories that gambled with lives...
Each incident, each case, was something others could not accomplish.
Compared to them, this unscrupulous doctor indeed held little weight, as insignificant as an ant. Upon her return to the country, she should have provided the local security bureau with some accomplishments.
With this thought, Bai Xi observed Han Mo with amusement. His high nose bridge firmly secured the metal frame of his glasses, which glinted faintly with his movements. His slender fingers skillfully manipulated the complex equipment...
Without a doubt, this doctor before her was rather interesting.
His name was Han Mo. Simple, yet not unpleasant...
Just as Han Mo completed the entire gastric lavage procedure, another commotion arose from the doorway. "What is going on here? This is a restricted area of the hospital! Silence is enforced. How can there be so much noise, disturbing the patients' rest!"
The person who entered was an elder around sixty years old. Although time had etched its marks upon his face, his voice was still robust. A thin sheen of sweat adorned his forehead, and his complexion was slightly flushed, indicating he had rushed here.
Upon seeing the scene, he froze on the spot.
The balding man, seeing the elder arrive, burst into tears and struggled forward, lunging towards him. "Director, save me! These barbarians just force-fed me a bottle of sleeping pills! They clearly intended to murder me! Quickly call the security bureau and have them arrest all these barbarians!"
The elder, initially stunned, only came to his senses when the balding man grasped his leg. However, his first reaction was not to look at the balding man pleading with him, but to turn towards Bai Xi and ask with difficulty, "May I ask, are you... a family member of this patient?"
Family member, young lady... Could this be the person he was warned not to offend?
Bai Xi nodded, her posture relaxed and unhurried.
The balding man had already guessed the identity of the person before him, but at this moment, blinded by rage, he loudly accused, "Director, this patient's family member brought a group of thugs to cause trouble, clearly showing no respect for our hospital. Furthermore, they force-fed me an overdose of sleeping pills, attempting to kill me..."
He was in the midst of his tearful accusation when his eyes met Bai Xi's, and he choked back the rest of his words.
Despite her attractive appearance, this young woman gave him a sense of fear that made his entire body tremble. To bolster his courage, he forced out what he intended as his closing statement from his quivering lips: "Everything I've said is the truth. Everyone present can attest to it."
After speaking, the balding man looked at the director with expectant eyes, hoping for him to bring Bai Xi to justice.
The director, however, did not look at the balding man. Instead, he turned to Bai Xi, his expression slightly awkward. "Is what he said true?"
Bai Xi replied with perfect composure, "The part he mentioned is indeed true."
She had brought people with her and given him sleeping pills. If not for Han Mo, this man would have become a corpse before long.
Hearing this, the balding man instantly became smug. "Director, you see, she admitted it herself! Hurry and call the police to arrest her!"
He thought the woman was quite clever, but unexpectedly so foolish as to confess her guilt. She was doomed!
The two orderlies hesitated, wanting to speak in Bai Xi's defense. But they knew that the director greatly valued Doctor Yuan and usually turned a blind eye to his actions. If they stepped forward to help Bai Xi today, even if the director settled the matter privately with this distinguished guest, they might not be able to continue working at the hospital.
Driven by survival and practicality, the two lowered their heads silently, daring not to speak.
Han Mo glanced at the director, his glasses reflecting a fleeting glint of light before disappearing as if it had never been.
Just as everyone assumed the situation would turn around, and Doctor Yuan, the balding man, was feeling triumphantly smug, a sharp, resounding slap landed across his face.
