Chapter 77: Forced to Do Business

The name of Divine Doctor Lin, who displayed miraculous medical skills in treating Cao Keming, had already spread among the doctors at the First City Hospital. However, only the director and a few specialists had actually met Lin Yang that day; the others had only heard his name, not seen him in person.

When Sun Wenguang realized that the man before him was none other than Divine Doctor Lin, he knew there was no hope left. He understood that he was done for and no one could save him now.

Han Liqun wasted no time and called security to have Sun Wenguang directly handed over to the Health Bureau for further action.

“Director, you’ve suspended Director Sun. What about our patients? We all paid a lot of money, you know!” Many of the patients’ families began to clamor noisily in the corridor.

“This incident in the hospital is my responsibility. I apologize to everyone,” Han Liqun said with a bow, then continued, “There’s no need to worry. The money you paid will be returned to you one by one. Besides, Director Sun is not the only doctor in our hospital—there are others who will look after you.”

“But the other doctors aren’t as skilled as Director Sun, are they? My father’s condition only improved under Director Sun’s care. If he gets worse again, will your hospital take responsibility?” The patients’ families began to pressure the hospital with their words.

“Why are they defending Director Sun when they were the ones cheated out of money?” Shen Youwei asked in confusion.

“Perhaps they’re not actually defending Director Sun, but just making trouble to get more compensation from the hospital,” Lin Yang replied coolly.

Try as he might, Han Liqun could hardly appease the crowd.

“Director Han, I’ll be taking my leave. You can deal with the rest,” Lin Yang said, not wanting to get caught up in the commotion. He prepared to leave with Liu Julan and her daughter.

“Mr. Lin, please wait. Let me arrange a hospital bed for Ms. Liu,” Han Liqun hurried to say.

“That won’t be necessary. Aunt Liu’s illness can be treated at home; there’s no need for hospitalization,” Lin Yang responded.

“Yes, yes, with your skills, of course it won’t be a problem. It’s just that there’s a particularly difficult patient we’re having trouble with. Would you have time to take a look?”

“No,” Lin Yang refused flatly, and left with Liu Julan and Shen Youwei, leaving Han Liqun standing there awkwardly, helpless.

“Sir, wait!” Suddenly, a family member of a patient called out from the crowd.

“I overheard your conversation just now. You must be highly skilled, right? Can you cure all kinds of kidney diseases?”

At this, all eyes in the corridor turned to Lin Yang.

“Whether I’m skilled or not, and whether I can cure you, is none of your concern,” Lin Yang replied coldly.

“It is our concern. You got Director Sun removed, and we don’t trust the other doctors. If your medical skills are better, you should be the one to treat our loved ones. Isn’t that right, everyone?”

“That’s right! Since even Director Han calls you a Divine Doctor, it’s your responsibility. You can’t just leave!”

The families blocked the corridor, refusing to let Lin Yang go.

With a cold snort, Lin Yang said, “Sun Wenguang was removed because of his own crimes, not because of me. I am not a doctor at this hospital and have no obligation to treat your relatives. Move aside!”

“Director Han, say something! You must take responsibility for this,” the families continued to pressure Han Liqun, seeing that Lin Yang was unmoved.

Han Liqun was at his wit’s end.

“Mr. Lin truly isn’t a doctor at our hospital. I have no authority to ask him to see patients. As I’ve explained, other attending and deputy doctors will take over Sun Wenguang’s work. Please return to your rooms,” Han Liqun said.

But the families, either bent on causing trouble or hoping to have their relatives treated by this Divine Doctor, refused to back down. The corridor was thrown into chaos, and the situation was difficult to resolve.

Shen Youwei, seeing Han Liqun struggling with the deliberately difficult families, said, “Brother Lin Yang, why don’t you help Director Han? Otherwise, this won’t end well.”

Lin Yang was silent for a moment before finally saying, “Enough! Be quiet, all of you.”

Gradually, the crowd fell silent.

“If you keep making a scene, it won’t help you. Frankly, I despise this kind of behavior. If I don’t want to help, no matter how much trouble you cause, it’ll be useless. No one can order me around.”

At that moment, a family member stepped forward and said, “Divine Doctor Lin, we’re not trying to make trouble. My father’s condition is severe, and we’re desperate.”

“You possess extraordinary medical skills. Please, we beg you to help. We only sided with Director Sun out of helplessness earlier. We apologize for our ignorance.”

Among the families, some with higher emotional intelligence quickly realized whom to appease and apologized sincerely to Lin Yang. Once someone started, others followed suit, apologizing to Lin Yang in turn.

Lin Yang rubbed his forehead, clearly disliking such situations.

“I don’t have time to see each of you individually, but Director Han can collect your case files and send them to my home. I’ll review them and prescribe treatment plans and medication.”

“For those whose conditions are not severe, they can be cured. If the case is more serious, I can at least slow the progress and prevent further deterioration.”

This was the best Lin Yang could offer.

“It’s a rare opportunity to have Divine Doctor Lin help us. Everyone, we should thank him,” Han Liqun said gratefully. Without Lin Yang’s intervention, today’s mess would have been impossible to resolve.

“Thank you, Divine Doctor Lin.”

“Yes, thank you!”

Everyone expressed heartfelt gratitude, finally satisfied.

“All right, everyone return to your rooms,” Han Liqun instructed, before turning to thank Lin Yang once more.

“No need to thank me. If my sister hadn’t asked me, I wouldn’t have bothered with this mess. I’m only helping because she persuaded me,” Lin Yang said, waving his hand.

Han Liqun then thanked Shen Youwei, who was both surprised and pleased.

“Mr. Lin, there’s another patient—”

“That’s enough! I’m not interested,” Lin Yang interrupted, giving Han Liqun no chance to push further. With Liu Julan and Shen Youwei, he left at once.

Han Liqun could only return to his meeting and continue discussing treatment plans.

“Brother Lin Yang, it’s been two years since I last saw you, and you’ve changed so much! Not only are you a powerful fighter, but even the director of the hospital looks up to your medical skills and calls you Divine Doctor. Are you really that incredible?” Shen Youwei remarked, feeling that the Lin Yang she once knew so well had become shrouded in mystery since last night, making her all the more curious.

“Do you think I’m boasting?” Lin Yang asked with a smile.

“No, not at all! I’m just really curious,” Shen Youwei replied, sticking out her tongue.
