NOVEL NEXT Chapter 163: A Billion
Sun Ping wanted to explode, yet at that moment, reporters had already arrived.
The reporters entered the room, asking Sun Ping:
"President Sun, which one is Doctor Lin Dong, who saved a dying person?"
Sun Ping's face looked terrible, but she could only point in the direction where Lin Dong was.
The reporters swarmed towards Lin Dong immediately.
"Doctor Lin Dong, I'm a reporter from Jiangnan Daily. I would like to interview you. How did you manage to save someone on the verge of death?"
"Through Traditional Chinese Medicine!"
"Ah, you're so young and you've studied Traditional Chinese Medicine? I heard you're also a visiting doctor. Did you disregard the risks to save someone under the instructions of Southern Capital Hospital?"
"No, Vice President Sun Ping of Southern Capital Hospital held a meeting to discuss... after the accident occurred."
"What? They held a meeting in such an emergency situation?"
"..."
Hearing Lin Dong's interview responses, Sun Ping's face looked as if it was about to crack open.
She really wanted to drive these reporters away and stop them from interviewing Lin Dong further.
If they continued, Southern Capital Hospital and her own reputation would be utterly lost.
However, she couldn't do it, as these were official reporters.
She had no right to drive them away!
"Damn Lin Dong, intentionally saying these things to harm me!" she cursed in her heart, yet what Lin Dong had said were merely facts.
Suddenly, someone spoke up: "Bai Xiaolou is here!"
No sooner had these words been spoken than a youth in an immaculate white suit, exuding an extraordinary presence, came forward.
He was none other than Bai Xiaolou, one of the Three Elites of Jiangnan. He wasn't in Southern Capital when the accident happened; he was on a business trip in another city. However, upon learning that his wife and children were involved in an accident, he rushed back immediately.
After returning, he went straight to the sickroom. It was only after seeing his wife that he learned the doctor who saved her was a man named Lin Dong.
He hurried over to express his gratitude to Lin Dong!
After Bai Xiaolou's arrival, everyone stepped aside to create a path for him.
"Doctor Lin Dong, hello, I am Bai Xiaolou. I thank you deeply for saving my wife, Li Tong." Bai Xiaolou quickly approached Lin Dong, bowing to him.
For someone like him, in Southern Capital, those who could make him bow were few and far between.
This showed how truly grateful he was to Lin Dong.
"You're welcome," Lin Dong responded politely, observing Bai Xiaolou.
He actually noticed that Bai Xiaolou bore a faint resemblance to Sister Bai Jue.
"Mr. Lin Dong, this is a check for a billion. It's a token of my appreciation for saving my wife!" Bai Xiaolou handed Lin Dong a check.
Wow!!!
This scene stunned everyone present.
That was a reward of 100 million!
"Bai Xiaolou is truly generous and straightforward, delivering a reward of a billion without extra words!"
"This Doctor Lin Dong is really lucky, he won't have to work for the rest of his life."
"A billion, even sitting and eating away at it, it would last a lifetime."
"So envious, why don't I have such good luck."
"..."
The onlookers all looked at Lin Dong with immense envy.
Lin Dong wanted to be modest, but Bai Xiaolou said, "Doctor Lin Dong, please don't refuse. I'm a man of clear debts of gratitude and resentment. Since you've shown me kindness, I must repay you!"
"This billion is just a small gesture. From now on, if you ever face any trouble in Southern Capital, as long as I, Bai Xiaolou, am here, I can help you resolve it!"
Hearing him say that, Lin Dong just smiled and accepted the check.
After all, he was cultivating the Nine Shift Longevity secret and indeed needed a large sum of money.
A billion was certainly a substantial amount for him!
After seeing Lin Dong accept it, Bai Xiaolou nodded, then turned to look at Sun Ping:
"Those who show me kindness, I, Bai Xiaolou, will repay! But for those who cross me, I will do the same!"
"The responsible parties for the amusement park incident have all been dealt with by me. As for Vice President Sun Ping, I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation, or else the Sun Family will suffer!"
After dropping these words, he swept out to take care of his wife, Li Tong.
At the moment, Sun Ping's complexion was paler than ever, never having expected to be explicitly targeted by Bai Xiaolou.
She really had suffered a huge loss this time!
She glared at Lin Dong with venom, blaming him for speaking out of turn.
"Lin Dong, just you wait. As long as you're in the hospital, I'll find a way to get rid of you," Sun Ping thought viciously.
At that moment, more people came from outside.
This time it was Vice President Chen Tongwei, and along with him, Director Li of the Medical Inspection from the city.
The accident had caused a major stir across Southern Capital, so it was no surprise that it drew the attention of these officials.
They had come to commend the rescuers involved in the incident!
"So young, yet with superb medical skills, you managed to save all the injured from this accident—it's truly remarkable," said Director Li of the Medical Inspection, patting Lin Dong's shoulder in commendation and presenting him with a banner of honor.
Holding the banner, Director Li and the others insisted Lin Dong face the reporters' cameras to say a few words.
Lin Dong knew they were preparing to use him as an example, to promote him as a hero among doctors.
This was likely going to be on TV!
Considering this, he solemnly faced the camera and said, "I do have something to say, just one sentence."
"I hope all my colleagues will always remember eight words: 'Doctor's Benevolent Heart, medical ethics come first!'"
