“What did you say?”
The words caused Sima Hongyun’s eyes, magnified behind his gold-rimmed glasses, to bulge. He turned to glare at Weng Dehai and angrily retorted, “I, the esteemed Vice Chairman of the Association, cannot even deal with a mere outpatient doctor from the Southern Traditional Chinese Medicine Department?”
Weng Dehai waved his hands, hurriedly explaining, “Vice Chairman Sima, you may not know this, but although Wan Yunting is just a young doctor following Jiang Yichun, you have no idea of his recent exploits. This person has just been honored as a People’s Anti-Drug Hero and has helped the police crack quite a few cases.”
“Moreover, he is also the leader of the underground forces in Huadu City, a figure who commands respect in both the black and white worlds. We can exert pressure on him within the association, but teaching him a lesson is impossible.”
This was because Wan Yunting had been extremely popular recently, with news reports about him everywhere. As for how Weng Dehai and the others knew Wan Yunting was also a gang leader, it was because previously at a bar, Ye Zhaohui and his group had photographed Wan Yunting and his associates, the “Fierce Tigers.” The photos were uploaded to the school teachers’ group chat and eventually spread, leading everyone in the Huadu Traditional Chinese Medicine Association to know.
Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for Sima Hongyun to find someone to teach Wan Yunting a lesson now.
Putting aside his fighting prowess, if you tried to find thugs outside to deal with him, you wouldn’t even get a chance, and might even get beaten up yourself…
“That kid is actually a gang leader.”
This shocked Sima Hongyun and Cao Ping. They had all thought Wan Yunting was just a minor outpatient doctor in Jiang Yichun’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, never expecting him to be a figure who held sway in both the black and white worlds of Huadu City.
“Damn it…”
Sima Hongyun cursed in anger, a ball of frustration building up in his chest.
Weng Dehai and the master-disciple pair, Dong Yuanlang, watched him, not daring to speak carelessly. After all, Wan Yunting was truly someone they couldn't afford to provoke casually at this time.
“Then we’ll suppress him within the industry!”
Finally, unable to contain his rage, Sima Hongyun decided that since he couldn’t find anyone to beat Wan Yunting up, he would have to act through the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. “Expel him from our association membership, and also, pressure the Southern Traditional Chinese Medicine Department. I refuse to believe we can’t deal with that scoundrel…”
Weng Dehai and Dong Yuanlang exchanged glances, not knowing what to say.
After all, the Sima family in the capital controlled the power of the national Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. If they wanted to suppress someone in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, it would be incredibly easy.
As expected, Sima Hongyun immediately took out his phone and made a call…
Meanwhile, Wan Yunting and Jiang Yichun on the other side were completely unaware of the "shenanigans" Sima Hongyun was about to pull.
“Mayor Hu, how are you feeling now?”
Wan Yunting asked after completing the acupuncture treatment for Hu Yaqing.
“Mm, my back feels much better.” Hu Yaqing had already sat up. After Wan Yunting adjusted and repositioned the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae in her lower back, her fever and other adverse symptoms had improved. Now, after the acupuncture treatment, Hu Yaqing only felt a slight soreness in her lower back, nothing like the excruciating pain she had experienced before.
“That’s good.”
Wan Yunting smiled as he withdrew the needles. “You can rest here at the hospital for a while, or go home. But don’t work today. Come back for acupuncture treatment again tomorrow noon, and your lumbar injury should be basically resolved.”
“Okay, thank you for your hard work.”
Hu Yaqing nodded with a smile, immensely grateful to the young man.
“Xiao Wan’s medical skills are truly amazing. She can already get out of bed.”
Seeing Hu Yaqing get out of bed, holding her waist with one hand and straightening up, she found that there was no severe pain, and she had basically recovered as before.
Wan Yunting placed the silver needles back into the medicine box and closed it, saying with a smile, “You can’t walk around too much yet. You need plenty of rest. After tomorrow’s acupuncture treatment, we’ll see how you’ve recovered before you go back to work.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Hu Yaqing nodded with a smile. Seeing Wan Yunting’s modesty and the gentle smile always on his face, she couldn't help but feel more admiration for this young man. It was truly remarkable that he could remain so calm and composed in her presence.
“Mayor…”
At this moment, a group of people entered from outside. They were all leaders from Huadu City’s government, and they all came in saying, “You’re so seriously ill, why didn’t you tell us…”
“Yes…”
Looking at Hu Yaqing sitting on the hospital bed, the group was led by the Vice Mayor and her secretary…
On the side, Wan Yunting and Jiang Yichun saw this and smiled at Kang Hongwen and Hu Renzhi, saying, “Old Mr. Hu, Uncle Kang, we’ll be heading back now, Jiang院长. Please contact me anytime if there are any issues.”
“Alright, Xiao Wan. I’ll see you out…”
Kang Hongwen asked the elderly couple, Hu Renzhi, not to bother, and personally saw Wan Yunting and Jiang Yichun out. He sighed and said, “Xiao Wan, Director Jiang, I’ve caused you trouble.”
“Why would President Kang say that?”
Jiang Yichun looked puzzled, while Wan Yunting beside him smiled faintly.
Kang Hongwen looked at them seriously and said, “That Sima Hongyun is likely going to target you.”
This caused Wan Yunting and Jiang Yichun to exchange a look, and they immediately burst into laughter, understanding what Kang Hongwen meant.
“Haha…”
Jiang Yichun waved his hand with a laugh and said, “President Kang, you worry too much. Sima Hongyun came to our Huadu to stir up trouble for us, so even without what happened just now, Sima Hongyun would still have found trouble with us!”
“Oh?”
This confused Kang Hongwen. He had just been blaming himself, worried that Sima Hongyun would target Wan Yunting and Jiang Yichun.
Jiang Yichun briefly explained about the upcoming discussion on the reform of medical education by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, and Kang Hongwen then understood the reason.
“Don’t worry, if that Sima Hongyun really dares to target you, I will have Mayor Hu step in.” Kang Hongwen guaranteed.
He didn’t need to say it; Hu Yaqing had already considered a strategy to hold Sima Hongyun accountable.
After all, not only was her illness not cured by him, but her condition had worsened, causing her immense suffering. How could Hu Yaqing let Sima Hongyun off easily?
After all, Hu Yaqing was no ordinary person. As the Mayor of Huadu City, when had she ever endured such torment?
Kang Hongwen saw Wan Yunting and Jiang Yichun downstairs, and the two of them returned directly to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department. Wan Yunting then said, “Elder Jiang, I need to ask for half a day off. I have some personal matters to attend to.”
“Go ahead, it’s not busy anyway.”
Jiang Yichun waved his hand and then said, “Remember to come early tomorrow and join us for the meeting.”
“Okay.”
Wan Yunting nodded with a smile, returned to his consultation room, put away his medicine box, and then left the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, driving directly to Huadu University.
Just then, his phone rang. Wan Yunting took it out and saw it was from Fierce Tiger. He answered and asked, “How is it? Any updates?”
Fierce Tiger, who was at a bar, had a subordinate standing beside him holding a phone, playing a sensational video. “Boss, there really is something sensational. I’ll send you a few videos later, and you’ll know.”
“Alright.”
Wan Yunting hung up the phone. Immediately, his WeChat rang, and Fierce Tiger had sent him videos…
At this time, Wan Yunting had arrived at the entrance of Huadu University. He found a parking spot and parked his car before clicking on the videos. A hidden camera footage from a hotel bed immediately popped up, showing a fat old man performing a three-person scene with two young women on the bed.
“Whoa, I didn’t know he had such a hobby.”
Looking at the old man in the video, it was Sima Hongyun. The picture quality was clear, and his ugly, pockmarked, lecherous old face was captured in great detail.
“Tiger, have your subordinates continue to follow him. Inform me immediately if there are any special circumstances.”
Wan Yunting sent a voice message to Fierce Tiger as he got out of the car. Fierce Tiger replied, instructing several subordinates to continue tailing Sima Hongyun…
