"Damn it, you dog, don't you know who you're facing? You still want to pay us to cripple him? I think you're really tired of living!" the man yelled at Xu Tian.
Xu Tian, clutching his bruised face, was filled with confusion. "Brothers, you... you didn't say this just now!"
"Didn't you say you'd deal with anyone for me? What do you mean now?"
The man stepped forward and grabbed Xu Tian's hair.
"Ouch!" Xu Tian cried out in pain.
The man's other hand continuously slapped Xu Tian's swollen face. "What do we mean?! Do you have any idea who you're talking to?"
"He, isn't he Ma Jun's classmate? Called, called Chen Fan, wasn't it?" Xu Tian replied in a panic.
"Slap!"
The man delivered a fierce slap to Xu Tian's face.
Tears immediately welled up in Xu Tian's eyes. He had only spoken the other person's name, and he didn't understand why the man hit him again.
"Damn it, is Mr. Chen's name something a dog like you can utter?!"
"Mr., Mr. Chen?!" Xu Tian was even more bewildered.
The man said coldly, "Let me tell you, Mr. Chen is a brother who'd risk his life for our Brother Xiong! Even Brother Xiong has to call Mr. Chen 'Fan Ge' when he sees him. What the hell are you, to dare to speak Mr. Chen's name so casually?!"
Boom!
These words exploded in Xu Tian's ears like thunder. He stared at Chen Fan, dumbfounded.
Brother Xiong had to call him Fan Ge?! And he had asked Brother Xiong's subordinates to cause trouble for Chen Fan? What was the difference between that and seeking death?!
Snapping back to reality, Xu Tian's legs went weak, and he was about to collapse to the ground.
However, the man wouldn't let Xu Tian collapse so easily. He yanked Xu Tian's hair and snarled, "Dog, did I tell you to sit down? Stand up!"
Xu Tian, who had been arrogant and bullying just moments ago, was now filled with terror.
As soon as the man finished shouting, Xu Tian was so scared that he peed himself.
The sound of dripping water echoed from the ground. Especially on this cold winter night, it made Xu Tian shiver all over.
"M-Mr. Chen, I, I was wrong." Xu Tian whimpered, trembling as he apologized to Chen Fan.
"Slap!"
The man slapped Xu Tian's face again. "Damn it, if apologies were useful, what would the police be for?!"
Then, the man turned to Chen Fan and said obsequiously, "Mr. Chen, why don't you hand him over to us? Don't worry, we'll handle it to your satisfaction."
Xu Tian panicked. These two men were introduced by his friend, who had said they were extremely ruthless.
If he fell into their hands, he couldn't even imagine what his fate would be.
Xu Tian, ignoring the fact that his hair was still being pulled, "thumped" and knelt on the ground.
"Brother Ma, Brother Ma! I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have stolen your woman, shouldn't have stolen your achievements, shouldn't have hired people to deal with you. I'm scum, I'm not human, I deserve to die. Brother Ma, please, for the sake of our past as colleagues, give me a chance and spare me this time."
As Xu Tian spoke, he slapped himself in the face.
"Spare you? I already gave you a chance last time. You didn't seize it yourself, so you can't blame others!" Ma Jun's face was cold.
Hearing this, Xu Tian was filled with despair. With a runny nose and tears streaming down his face, he continued to beg Ma Jun for mercy.
"I'll leave him to you. You know how to handle this," Chen Fan said, glancing at the two men.
"We know, we know!"
"Mr. Chen, don't worry, we'll definitely handle it to your satisfaction!"
Seeing their flustered expressions, Chen Fan didn't blame them further. He then looked at Ma Jun, patted him on the shoulder, and walked towards Qin Shuran and the others.
Ma Jun's emotions gradually calmed down. He didn't look at Xu Tian again and turned to follow Chen Fan.
Soon, the sounds of Xu Tian's wails and screams echoed through the parking lot.
Chen Fan called for a designated driver and returned to the urban village with Qin Shuran.
That evening, the two discussed and decided to move into their new home during the upcoming weekend.
The next morning, after breakfast with Qin Shuran, Chen Fan arrived at the psychiatric hospital.
He hadn't been back for a couple of days, and the hospital had changed significantly.
The several abandoned plots of land nearby were already under construction for a new outpatient building and inpatient department. The psychiatric hospital was about to be renamed the Sixth Hospital and become a comprehensive medical facility.
Furthermore, the hospital's surgery department had been expanded into a general surgery department, and many surgeons had been hired.
Qin Shuran returned to the psychiatric department's first consultation room. She had been notified before coming that after Xu Lang's dismissal, she had become the director of the psychiatric department's first consultation room, and she had a lot of work to coordinate.
Chen Fan had originally intended to go to his own consultation room, but at that moment, he noticed that the door to Liu Qianze's former consultation room was open.
Some sounds seemed to be coming from inside, which made Chen Fan frown slightly as he walked over.
Approaching Liu Qianze's consultation room, Chen Fan saw a middle-aged male doctor in a white coat sitting inside, examining a young man.
Beside the middle-aged doctor stood several other young doctors, seemingly observing the middle-aged doctor's treatment methods.
"This kind of wound is a typical case of infection and inflammation caused by not cleaning a finger injury promptly," the middle-aged doctor explained while cleaning the young man's wound.
"Dr. Zheng, for this type of wound, which antibiotic would be faster?" a young doctor asked humbly.
The middle-aged doctor was named Zheng Hairong, a newly hired surgeon at the psychiatric hospital. The other young doctors were all less experienced surgeons.
Zheng Hairong was considered an authoritative expert in the field of surgery in Jiangcheng. Therefore, when these doctors saw Zheng Hairong personally treating a patient, they all came to observe.
Zheng Hairong said, "For this type of wound infection, penicillin is generally sufficient. For wound infections after appendectomy, it's mostly caused by E. coli and anaerobic bacteria. In such cases, cephalosporins or levofloxacin capsules can be used for treatment. Wound infections are common in clinical practice. The best approach is to perform bacterial culture and drug allergy tests, and then select antibiotics rationally based on the test results."
"Dr. Zheng truly lives up to his reputation as an authoritative surgical expert in Jiangcheng. His explanations are so detailed!" a young doctor quickly flattered.
"I heard that the psychiatric hospital also has a surgical expert, and he's very young. It's said he's cured many difficult and complicated cases. I wonder how his medical skills compare to Dr. Zheng's." At this point, another young doctor asked with curiosity.
"I heard about that person before I came. I think his name is Chen Fan, but we've been working here for two days and haven't seen him."
"I think that kid felt that with Dr. Zheng's arrival, his own medical skills were too poor and he was afraid of embarrassing himself, so he simply resigned and ran away," the young doctor who had flattered Zheng Hairong said mockingly.
