"Why would I not dare to come?" Chen Fan asked calmly.
Beside him, Lian Wenxin reminded him smugly, "Dr. Chen, have you forgotten what day it is today?"
"Just a month ago, you made a bet with Dr. Liu, swearing that you would cure a little girl's leukemia with traditional Chinese medicine. Today is the day for your bet with Dr. Liu."
At this point, Lian Wenxin quickly corrected himself, "Oh, no, it should be Director Liu. Today is the day your bet is due."
Xu Lang also stepped forward, a smug look on his face as he said, "Dr. Chen, I remember very clearly. When you bet with Director Liu, you said that if you lost, you would get out of Jiangcheng and have your medical license revoked."
Chen Fan nodded, glancing at Lian Wenxin and Xu Lang, and said, "I know, but what does it have to do with you? Could it be that you also want to bet with me?"
Xu Lang sneered, "Heh heh, Dr. Chen, you're about to leave Jiangcheng. What qualifications do you have to bet with us?"
"Then what if I don't leave?" Chen Fan asked calmly.
"Hahaha, Dr. Chen, you mean your traditional Chinese medicine has cured leukemia? That's simply a tall tale." Xu Lang burst into laughter, doubling over.
A wave of mocking laughter also came from the surroundings, as no one believed that traditional Chinese medicine could cure leukemia.
"Dr. Chen, after all, we were colleagues before. If you have trouble making ends meet in the future, give us a call. Fifty or a hundred, we can help you out. We'll definitely transfer it to you," Lian Wenxin said, stepping forward and patting Chen Fan on the shoulder.
"Vice President Lian, if you hadn't said that, I wouldn't have known you were so compassionate. No wonder you've only managed to become a vice president after so many years at the hospital," Chen Fan retorted sarcastically.
Lian Wenxin's face immediately turned ugly.
Everyone knew that Lian Wenxin had spent the longest time in the mental hospital and was once considered the most likely candidate to become the dean.
But it wasn't until today that Lian Wenxin became a vice president, which had always been a thorn in his side.
This was also why Xu Lang referred to Lian Wenxin as President Lian, not Vice President Lian, because Xu Lang knew that Lian Wenxin disliked the word 'vice'.
Unexpectedly, Chen Fan brought it up on the spot, making Lian Wenxin feel as though Chen Fan was publicly slapping him in the face.
"Chen Fan, do you have the leisure to mock me here? You should hurry and think about what you'll do after you're kicked out of Jiangcheng," Lian Wenxin said coldly.
Xu Lang sneered, "President Lian, perhaps one day we'll pass through a small city and see our former Jiangcheng miracle doctor handing out flyers."
"Hahaha! Maybe we'll go out to eat, and Dr. Chen will be washing the dishes."
Immediately, the scene erupted in another round of laughter.
"You're all going too far!" Zhao Qianqian quickly stood beside Chen Fan, glaring angrily at everyone in front of her.
"Zhao Qianqian, you're really foolish to still be protecting this Chen Fan," Xu Lang taunted.
Lian Wenxin also sneered, "Zhao Qianqian, perhaps if you beg Director Liu now, Director Liu might let you stay at the hospital. You know, finding a doctor's job is very difficult these days."
Zhao Qianqian's eyes were full of conviction, "No need. Because I believe in Dr. Chen. I believe he can definitely cure Xiao Linger."
"Hahaha, Dr. Chen, I didn't expect you to have such a loyal subordinate. If people didn't know better, they'd think you two were involved!" Xu Lang couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Slap!"
The sound of a slap echoed through the hall.
Xu Lang immediately covered his face, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth from the blow!
Everyone was stunned, looking at Chen Fan in surprise.
Because it was Chen Fan who had delivered the slap just now.
"Chen Fan, you, how dare you hit me!"
"If you don't clean up your mouth, I won't mind shutting it for you permanently," a cold glint flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.
"Chen Fan, you piece of trash who's about to be kicked out, dare to be arrogant in front of me? I really don't know who gave you the courage!" Xu Lang was completely enraged, his finger pointing at Chen Fan trembling slightly.
"Dr. Chen, I'll call Cui Jie and ask her to bring Xiao Linger and the examination results. They'll surely shut up when they see the results!" Zhao Qianqian said, taking out her phone.
She knew that only the appearance of Cui Jie and Xiao Linger could resolve the situation today.
But soon, Zhao Qianqian's expression turned grim.
Because she had made over a dozen calls, all of which were temporarily unavailable.
"What? No one's answering the patient's family's phone?" Liu Qianze asked with a playful smirk.
Zhao Qianqian refused to give up, continuing to dial Cui Jie's number, but the result was the same – still temporarily unavailable.
"How could this be? Doesn't Cui Jie know today is the day of Dr. Chen's bet?"
Zhao Qianqian looked at Chen Fan again, "Dr. Chen, I'll go to her house."
"No need. She's not home," Qin Shuran, who had been silent all this time, stopped Zhao Qianqian, who was about to head to Cui Jie's house.
Zhao Qianqian was somewhat taken aback. She couldn't understand why Cui Jie and Xiao Linger would disappear at this particular time!
Without Xiao Linger and her examination results, Chen Fan would likely have to revoke his medical license and leave Jiangcheng today.
"Hahaha, Chen Fan, it seems even your patient doesn't believe you anymore and is avoiding you. Let's see how you turn this around today! You dare to hit me? I'll watch you crawl out of Jiangcheng like a drowned rat!" Xu Lang laughed, pointing at Chen Fan with a triumphant expression.
"Dr. Chen, are you leaving on your own, or should we have security escort you out?" Liu Qianze's voice rang out slowly.
"Liu Qianze, that's enough! Don't think I don't know that you deliberately arranged for Xiao Linger and the others to disappear!" Qin Shuran said coldly.
Liu Qianze chuckled, "Shuran, everything requires evidence. Regardless, Chen Fan has already lost, and from today onwards, he must leave Jiangcheng."
"Liu Qianze, if Chen Fan leaves Jiangcheng, I will leave with him!"
Qin Shuran's words immediately made Liu Qianze's face turn grim.
"Shuran, you want to leave with this piece of trash?!" Liu Qianze was somewhat taken aback.
"That's right. If he leaves Jiangcheng, I will leave with him. No matter where he goes, I will stay by his side," Qin Shuran said, extending her delicate hand and linking it with Chen Fan's arm.
Seeing this, hearing Qin Shuran's words, Liu Qianze's heart ached sharply, and his expression became extremely unpleasant.
He thought he had won, but in reality, he was still a loser!
"Don't worry, Shuran. We don't need to go anywhere. I just spent so much money to buy a house, and I haven't even moved in yet. How can we leave?" Chen Fan was deeply touched, and he gently held Qin Shuran's slender hand.
"Ridiculous. You can't even find your patient. Let's see how you stay here today!" Xu Lang pointed at Chen Fan and mocked.
"Who told you Xiao Linger couldn't come?" However, at this moment, a voice came from outside the outpatient building.
