"Your daughter is out of danger, but she needs a few days of rest. You should go handle the hospital admission first, and I'll prescribe medicine later," Lin Xiao Tian instructed the uncle before preparing to return to his office.
Using golden needles to unblock acupoints was an extremely draining task, both mentally and physically. He needed to rest.
Upon hearing his daughter was out of danger, the uncle was so overcome with emotion that tears welled up in his eyes. He profusely thanked Lin Xiao Tian and apologized for his earlier rashness in barging into the emergency room.
Lin Xiao Tian smiled and said nothing more.
Just then, someone suddenly patted the uncle's shoulder.
"You do indeed need to apologize!" Guang Tou Qiang declared indignantly.
As he was about to argue, he was stopped by a young nurse.
Beside the nurse were several security guards, and even Xu Qing He had arrived.
"It's him! He's the one who kicked open the emergency room door," the young nurse pointed at Guang Tou Qiang.
Xu Qing He immediately recognized Guang Tou Qiang as the person who had injured his doctor last time. "You? The one who injured Dr. Zhang last time, and you're causing trouble again!"
"It's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!" Guang Tou Qiang tried to explain.
However, Xu Qing He clearly had no intention of listening. He immediately had the security guards apprehend Guang Tou Qiang. The emergency room was a critical area, and Guang Tou Qiang's unauthorized entry meant he would face legal repercussions.
"Listen to my explanation, this has nothing to do with me. That uncle just now can vouch for me," Guang Tou Qiang said, abruptly looking behind him.
But the uncle, in his haste to take his daughter to the ward, had long since vanished.
"Wait, the people here can also testify for me. It really wasn't me," Guang Tou Qiang looked around and then pulled over the young man from before.
"And you doctors over there, don't leave, come and testify together!"
Faced with Guang Tou Qiang's menacing demeanor, no one dared to offend him and could only reluctantly stay.
Thus, at Guang Tou Qiang's insistence, the young man and a group of doctors, including Lü Ke, all remained.
"Tell me, what exactly happened? Was it me who barged into the emergency room?" Guang Tou Qiang glared ferociously at everyone.
"Don't be afraid, tell the truth. With me here, no one will dare to do anything to you," Xu Qing He added, fearing that Guang Tou Qiang might threaten them.
The young man spoke first, explaining the sequence of events and confirming that it was indeed not Guang Tou Qiang who had barged into the emergency room, but he had accidentally bumped into the door.
Xu Qing He then questioned the doctors present, and they all corroborated the young man's account.
"That's impossible! You're saying it just swung open? Is the emergency room door that easy to force open?" Xu Qing He finished, his gaze inadvertently falling on Guang Tou Qiang.
"Damn it! Why are you looking at me? You didn't close the door, so of course it opened with a touch," Guang Tou Qiang grumbled.
"You didn't close the door?" Xu Qing He was taken aback. "The emergency room was still in use, why wasn't the door closed?"
"Xiao Yi, what exactly happened? Don't you know you must close the door during emergencies?"
Xu Qing He looked at the young nurse beside him.
The nurse, Xiao Yi, was the one who had been following Lin Xiao Tian. He instinctively assumed the young nurse had been negligent.
"I... I remember closing the door when Doctor Lü and the others went out!" Nurse Xiao Yi hastily explained.
"So they are lying?" Xu Qing He continued to question.
Xiao Yi was getting anxious, but then she suddenly remembered something.
"Um... Xiao Fang left the emergency room in the middle. Could it be... Xiao Fang didn't close the door properly?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing He quickly turned his head towards a corner.
"Xiao Fang, did you forget?"
Nurse Xiao Fang was the one who had left the emergency room midway. It was indeed she who had failed to close the emergency room door, but she had done it intentionally to allow someone to go in and stop Lin Xiao Tian. Who would have thought that none of the doctors would go in, and it was a family member who eventually entered.
Of course, even knowing it was a family member who entered, she didn't bother to close the door herself, but let things take their course.
"It wasn't me, I remember closing the door. It must have been this person, he kicked open the door," Nurse Xiao Fang hastily argued.
"Damn it! Say that again, and believe it or not, I'll rip your foul mouth apart!" Guang Tou Qiang was furious.
"Everyone saw it, you're the one who kicked open the door, who else could it be?" Xiao Fang continued to argue.
Although Guang Tou Qiang was terrifying, if she admitted to this, she might lose her job at the Guoyiguan. She wasn't willing to give up this hard-earned, well-paying job.
"Heh! You damn old hag, you're even lying to my face. I think you're asking for a beating!" Guang Tou Qiang walked towards Xiao Fang.
The security guards quickly intercepted him, but they were no match for Guang Tou Qiang and were thrown to the ground in a few moves.
"I can testify that the door was already open," just then, the uncle who had disappeared earlier returned.
"Damn it! The person involved said so, you should believe us now, right?" Guang Tou Qiang snorted coldly.
"Xiao Fang, what exactly happened? Did you not close the emergency room door?" Xu Qing He questioned.
"I... I did!"
"Tell the truth, did you or didn't you? I'm telling you, I can check the surveillance!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fang completely lost her composure.
"I also remember that when Xiao Fang came out earlier, she didn't close the door," Lü Ke said, adding his testimony now that the situation was clearly one-sided.
"Yes, I also remember she didn't close the door. Xiao Fang even persuaded us to go in and stop Xiao Tian together at that time. If she had closed the door, why would she have let us in?" a doctor added.
Hearing this, Xu Qing He's expression turned grim. If this doctor was telling the truth, then Xiao Fang had done it intentionally, which was a far more serious matter.
"Xiao Fang, is this true?"
Seeing that further denial was futile, Xiao Fang could only nod and admit it.
"This is outrageous! How could you do such a thing in such a crucial place as the emergency room? And you clearly knew the door wasn't closed, yet you stood by when a family member entered, allowing him in. Do you know this could have led to a fatality if it were an emergency surgery?"
"I'm sorry, Director, I was wrong!"
"You were wrong? You only realize that now? Why didn't you say so when you were arguing earlier?"
"I... I..."
"I have always emphasized professional ethics, but you clearly haven't been listening seriously. In my opinion, you are not suited to continue in this position. Go to the finance department to settle your salary. Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come in anymore." Xu Qing He finished speaking and left without looking back.
"No..." Upon hearing this terrible news, Xiao Fang collapsed onto the floor.
"Serves you right! For trying to frame me!" Guang Tou Qiang cursed. He then turned to thank the uncle for clearing his name.
However, when he turned around, he found that the uncle had vanished again.
"Where did he go?" Guang Tou Qiang muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, in Lin Xiao Tian's consultation room.
"Doctor Lin, thank you for saving my daughter! From today onwards, you are my benefactor, Liang Xu. I, Liang Xu, am not very capable, but I have these two fists. If there's anything you need, Doctor Lin, please don't hesitate to ask." The uncle finished speaking and bowed to Lin Xiao Tian.
"This is not acceptable! It's all my duty," Lin Xiao Tian hastily stopped the uncle from bowing and invited him to sit down and talk.
"By the way, Doctor Lin, how long will my daughter need to stay in the hospital?" The uncle suddenly looked troubled.
"At least a week. What's wrong? Do you have any concerns?" Lin Xiao Tian noticed the unusual expression on the uncle's face.
