From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Chunliang, hearing about the incident in the ultrasound room, immediately thought: What is the hospital's security department doing?

Actually, you can't blame the security department. The security department at the branch is currently without leadership.

Security Chief Xu Daqing is still in detention. Even if he were released, he couldn't come back to the hospital as he has already been fired.

Chunliang called Haitao and asked him to gather the security personnel to maintain order at the scene, mainly to ensure the safety of the medical staff.

When Chunliang arrived at the ultrasound department, a few old ladies were still cursing.

Haitao had already arrived with the security team. They tried to persuade the women but were scolded harshly. No matter how angry they were, they couldn't lay hands on these old ladies.

Hospital Branch Medical Affairs Director Liu Fugui arrived almost simultaneously, gasping for breath: "Aunt Zhao, it's you? Don't be angry, don't be angry, let's go to the office to discuss this."

He was just a part-timer, usually sitting for consultations in the endocrinology department and would act with the authority of the medical affairs director in medical disputes.

The leading Mrs. Zhao angrily said: "How could I not be angry? My eldest grandson, who was clearly going to be a boy, suddenly turned into a girl. Can you accept that? We already have five granddaughters, and now because of this woman, our family line will be cut off."

Although times are changing, many people still hold onto traditional views preferring sons over daughters.

Liu Fugui said, "If there's something to discuss, let's go to the office; making a scene here isn't appropriate."

"You're worried about causing a scene? Why didn't you say that when you took my money? You took our money to solve our troubles, you wretched woman, if you can't do the job, don't take it on. You took our money and got it wrong, and you're supposed to be an expert from Changxing Hospital? What kind of expert mistakes a boy for a girl?"

Liu Fugui was at a loss facing these unreasonable old ladies. How could such matters be discussed openly?

Chunliang said, "Who took your money? How much?"

The old ladies looked at Chunliang, not knowing why such a young man was speaking up.

Haitao introduced him as the new director of their hospital, although Chunliang wasn't actually a director. In Haitao's mind, Chunliang was even more formidable than a director.

Since he came, Xu Daqing was arrested, Zhang Haibin was removed from his post, and the surrounding small shop owners who owed rent paid up honestly.

Haitao began to blindly worship Chunliang, believing he could resolve anything.

Mrs. Zhao, hearing that Chunliang was the director, got excited and shouted, "Cao Jing, she took five hundred yuan from me, and then gave us the wrong information, saying the boy was a girl, my grandson turned into a granddaughter..."

Chunliang thought to himself, whether it's a grandson or granddaughter, they're still your son's children, but the old lady loves to blame others: "Aunt Zhao, let's put this matter aside for now. Why are you so sure she got it wrong?"

Mrs. Zhao was taken aback: "How can it not be wrong? My daughter-in-law gave birth at the county hospital, and the baby was a girl, could it be wrong?"

"Many babies are mistakenly switched after birth. Didn't you ask your son if the child didn't leave his sight the whole time after birth?"

"What? Are you saying my grandson was swapped?"

Chunliang said, "I didn't say anything. Anyway, the doctors at Changxing Hospital are definitely more skilled than those at your county hospital. And by the way, whether what you said is true or not, it's not appropriate to shout about it loudly. The higher authorities are very strict about such matters; once found, they won't be lenient. Doctors who violate regulations will face hefty fines or even lose their qualifications to practice. Patients who offer bribes will also bear responsibility."

He turned to Liu Fugui and said, "I think the lightest penalty is a ten thousand yuan fine and fifteen days of detention, right?"

Liu Fugui, though he knew the penalty wasn't that severe, followed up nodding repeatedly, suspecting that Chunliang was intimidating the old ladies.

Chunliang continued, "And disorderly conduct can be subject to judgement; at your age, it's not worth it, is it."

Mrs. Zhao said, "Don't scare me. You are doing illegal fetal identification, how can you penalize us?"

This old lady is really exasperating, using false claims as truth. Even if fetal identification was done, it was they who sought it out.

Chunliang said to Haitao, "Have you contacted the police station?"

Haitao was momentarily stunned but quickly understood Chunliang's intention: "Yes, I contacted them. They're on their way."

When the old ladies heard that the police station was coming, they started to panic, and Chunliang continued to apply psychological pressure.

"Are your son and daughter-in-law aware of your commotion here? If they're without jobs, it's one thing, but if they have an employment status, it might affect them as well."

Mrs. Zhao said, "I will take full responsibility for my actions." Her voice had noticeably softened, as her son and daughter-in-law both had formal jobs.

Chunliang said, "If you want to talk, go to the medical office and talk properly. If not, go to the police station to resolve it. If our hospital staff have violated any rules, we will definitely handle it seriously. You won't escape responsibility for disrupting the normal medical order and bribing the staff."

The elderly women were frightened.

Liu Fugui took the opportunity to persuade them to go with him to the medical office. The elderly women were shaken by Chunliang and surprisingly obeyed and followed Liu Fugui.

Chunliang called Haitao aside, asking him to investigate the background of those elderly women's children.

In the ultrasound room, Cao Jing was crying like a tearful mess. She had only been there for less than a month, always following the rules, and this was an unexpected disaster.

She swore in front of Chunliang, claiming she never helped anyone with illegal identifications since she came to the branch hospital. While she couldn't guarantee her past in Changxing, coming here was already a punishment, and she wouldn't dare get involved in illegal activities.

Haitao also found out that Mrs. Zhao's daughter-in-law was indeed giving birth at the county maternity hospital. The first child was a girl, and the second child was again a girl. Her son and daughter-in-law were both teachers at Hu Shan Town Elementary School, and their contact information was found.

Chunliang asked Haitao to call and inform them about the situation, but the couple was completely unaware. The daughter-in-law said the mother-in-law must have been agitated and obsessed with wanting a grandson.

They had accompanied her to Weishan Lake Hospital for several prenatal check-ups, the most recent being two months ago. She didn't know if her mother-in-law had bribed someone for a gender identification.

Comparing the times, Chunliang understood that Cao Jing wasn't even here then, and Mrs. Zhao's allegations were baseless, clearly a false accusation against Cao Jing.

As they reached the medical office's entrance, they heard Mrs. Zhao shouting inside: "Bring your director here and compensate me for my grandson."

Chunliang pushed the door open and went in. Liu Fugui was trying hard to persuade her. Chunliang noticed the staff responsible for the medical office were rather inept; these people were determined to find fault, and apologizing wouldn't resolve it. The better your attitude, the more arrogant they got.

Chunliang said, "Is it Zhao Yue'e?"

Mrs. Zhao was taken aback: "You're calling me?" The young man showed no respect for the elderly by addressing her directly by name.

Chunliang laid down the retrieved ultrasound report in front of her. It was the ultrasound report of her daughter-in-law. The document clearly stated that it was not Cao Jing's name on it.

Mrs. Zhao was still stubborn, claiming that when she brought her daughter-in-law to Cao Jing for a gender check, they didn't even pay.

Chunliang realized this elderly woman was both foolish and malicious, and said with a smile, "Even if your report were true, which it's not, we still base everything on the document. Without evidence, you're already suspect of legal infraction by accusing our doctor. I advise you to stop while you can, or I will have the hospital sue you."

"Sue me? An old woman like me has nothing to be afraid of!"

"You might not fear it, but at most, you'll just get a few months. But I must warn you, once you break the law, your son, daughter-in-law, grandsons, and granddaughters will all be affected. Your son and daughter-in-law, as elementary school teachers, can forget any promotion or advancement. And your grandsons and granddaughters—forget about university, civil service exams, or military enlistment because their grandmother has a criminal record."

Mrs. Zhao's face turned pale with fear, and seeing the situation turning dire, the other elderly women who came to cause trouble started slipping away quietly. After all, no family wanted their descendants affected by such matters.

Mrs. Zhao began to back down as well, saying this matter wasn't over as she prepared to leave.

But Chunliang was not pleased: "Don't be in such a rush to leave. We have surveillance at the ultrasound room's entrance. Cao Jing has been here less than a month. We'll check her work surveillance later. If you're lying, it's no longer about you and us finishing this. Our hospital will definitely hold you accountable."

Mrs. Zhao was thoroughly panicked now.

Chunliang raised that report and said, "We will also investigate the doctor who performed the ultrasound for you. If we find out who helped you with a gender identification, we will pursue it to the end, and this matter will be reported to your son and daughter-in-law's school."

"This has nothing to do with them. Why report it to their school?" Mrs. Zhao realized the seriousness of the situation, worrying that it might affect her son and daughter-in-law's jobs.

Chunliang sneered and turned to leave. Mrs. Zhao panicked and told Liu Fugui she would stop causing trouble and drop the charges. Liu Fugui told her that it wasn't up to him, and that she should speak to Chunliang.

In fact, it wasn't difficult to uncover the truth. The ultrasound report had a signature, and the doctor who did the ultrasound for Mrs. Zhao's daughter-in-law was someone else who also denied any illicit identification.

Chunliang had little interest in digging further, finding the whole situation fishy. Why was Mrs. Zhao so fixated on Cao Jing? Was someone manipulating her behind the scenes?

According to Cao Jing's recollection, Mrs. Zhao did visit once, brought by vice director Zhang Haibin, hoping for her help in determining the gender to prepare clothes in advance. However, Cao Jing refused, which displeased Zhang Haibin.

Chunliang speculated that this incident was most likely related to Zhang Haibin. After being removed, Zhang Haibin wouldn't give up easily. Today's trouble was probably just the beginning, as he had quite a bit of influence in Hu Shan Town.

The best way to handle such situations was to retaliate quickly, striking hard once to avoid a hundred punches later.
