The temptation behind gentleness

Su Fan halted his steps, turned his head, and saw Tang Sanchun glaring at him with fury.

"Who are you, and what do you want?"

Tang Sanchun squinted at Su Fan with a condescending attitude and said coldly.

"I've heard you're also a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. May I ask who your teacher is? If you don't even recognize me, I doubt the quality of your lineage."

"You recklessly practice medicine and think to leave before the patient has regained consciousness. Where is your medical ethics?"

"You pay no heed to your own qualifications, only seeking to make a name for yourself without regard for the patient's life or death. I've seen too many 'doctors' like you."

"The younger generation is getting more and more unruly."

Ranking by seniority?

Looking down on me is one thing, but disrespecting my grandfather makes me quite angry.

However, my grandfather lived his life indifferent to fame and fortune and specifically instructed me before he passed away not to reveal my medical heritage casually, so I did not disclose my medical lineage.

"Where is your medical ethics?"

"So, taking the risk to save someone is unethical, but you arriving late and watching a patient die equates to having medical ethics?"

"As a fellow doctor, you are so arrogant. Is that not disrespectful to your elders?"

"Nonsense."

Gao Xintian, promised a promotion to chief physician by Sun Zhigang if he could get rid of Su Fan, seized the opportunity and scolded Su Fan.

"This is our renowned expert in traditional Chinese medicine, Tang Sanchun, the Divine Doctor. How dare you show him such disrespect?"

"So-called expert, nothing special."

Su Fan did not take Tang Sanchun seriously at all.

"You..."

Tang Sanchun was so angered by these words that he nearly passed out.

"Nonsense, nonsense, the world is in decline."

"Director Zhang, your hospital's personnel management is too loose, with no rules whatsoever. When I get back to the capital and meet with the leaders of the Ministry of Health, I will have a serious discussion."

Given Tang Sanchun's status, it was not surprising that he had connections with the higher-ups at the Ministry of Health.

This frightened Zhang Haitao.

"Divine Doctor Tang, calm down, please, this is all a misunderstanding."

"Su Fan, why aren't you apologizing to Divine Doctor Tang?"

"I did nothing wrong, so why apologize?"

"The patient is still inside, and despite being called a divine doctor and looking so lofty, he has been here for a long time without any intention of visiting the patient. Instead, he is here ranking by seniority."

"When did our medical system become so bureaucratic?"

"I think this Divine Doctor Tang is more accomplished in officialdom than in medicine, isn't he?"

"You, you..."

Tang Sanchun wanted to scold Su Fan and elevate his own status, but now he was so angry that he clutched his chest and nearly passed out.

Zhang Haitao became anxious as well.

"Su Fan, don't overstep your bounds. From this moment on, you are to cease all work and go on suspension for an investigation."

Su Fan's brows furrowed.

This was going too far.

"Fine, don't regret it later."

Su Fan, unconcerned, ripped off his white coat and strode away.

As he left, he took a deep look at the ward where Young Master Feng was staying, his lips curving into a faint smile, though no one noticed.

Soon after, Su Fan left the hospital.

Upon seeing Su Fan leave, Sun Zhigang and Gao Xintian started to fan the flames yet again.

A short while later, Tang Sanchun's emotions finally stabilized.

"Director Zhang, this young man should be dismissed sooner rather than later, otherwise he'll eventually bring trouble to your hospital."

"Come, let's go see the patient."

Only then did the group enter the ward.

Inside the emergency room.

Young Master Feng lay on the hospital bed with his eyes tightly closed but with a ruddy complexion and a steady and long breath. The life-monitor by his side showed his condition to be very stable.

"My son, my son,"

Su Zhenghua's wife leaned on the bedside, crying.

"This Su Fan's medical skills are impressive; he actually managed to save Young Master Feng's life."

A few young doctors talked excitedly.

Su Zhenghua also murmured softly.

"Could it be that we really misunderstood that young man just now?"

But these words were particularly grating to Tang Sanchun's ears.

He came to save someone, but before he had arrived, the person was already on the mend, and on top of that, the young man who treated the patient had been the subject of his ridicule. Wasn't this a slap in the face?

"Nonsense!"

He stroked his goatee, maintaining his composure as he spoke.

"I suspect that Young Master Feng was never in serious danger. It was merely a temporary problem with his body's functions. It's not uncommon for young people nowadays with their irregular lifestyles to have such issues. It was just a coincidence that this youngster took advantage of the situation."
