Chapter 40

The entire scene was stunned.

No one had expected that Ye Qiu would actually slap Old Li at this moment.

It's over, something's going to happen!

Bai Bing's face changed drastically.

Guo Danu was first shocked, then overjoyed. Ye Qiu was courting death!

As everyone knew, Director Li was a filial son. Now, with him watching, Ye Qiu had slapped Old Li. Director Li would definitely not let Ye Qiu off.

Sure enough.

Director Li was extremely angry and shouted at Ye Qiu, "Daring to hit my father, I'll fight you to the death!"

He was about to rush forward to fight Ye Qiu.

Guo Danu, quick to react, grabbed Director Li with both hands and said, "Director Li, don't be angry. He's just a probationary doctor, it's not worth it to take him seriously. Let me handle this!"

"Let me go, I want to deal with it myself!" Director Li was furious. Regardless of whether he was the head of a department or an ordinary person, he couldn't tolerate someone hitting his father.

The angrier Director Li became, the happier Guo Danu was, because it meant that Ye Qiu's fate would be even worse.

"Director Li, let me handle this. Rest assured, I promise to make you satisfied!"

Immediately, Guo Danu shouted at Ye Qiu, "You're fired!"

"Deputy Director Guo, what are you saying? I don't understand," Ye Qiu said calmly.

"Ye Qiu, don't play dumb with me. As a doctor, you dared to hit a patient, which is a serious violation of medical ethics and hospital regulations. From now on, you're fired."

Guo Danu had a cold smile on his face.

Firing Ye Qiu was just the first step. Next, he would use Director Li's hands to gradually destroy Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu had crippled Guo Shaocong, and Guo Danu was determined to take revenge.

He had previously been worried that moving against Ye Qiu would anger Zhao Yun, but now he wasn't afraid. Even if Zhao Yun were to step in for Ye Qiu, he could still blame it on Director Li.

Guo Danu wasn't worried about Zhao Yun causing trouble for Director Li. Since ancient times, the people did not fight against the officials. Moreover, Zhao Yun was part of the underground forces. If he dared to cause trouble for Director Li, it would be a death sentence.

Moreover, Guo Danu believed that after he destroyed Ye Qiu, Zhao Yun wouldn't step in for Ye Qiu. After all, a dead person has no value.

However, before destroying Ye Qiu, he had to find out where Guo Shaocong was.

But after hearing Guo Danu say, "You're fired," Ye Qiu not only showed no panic, but a smile appeared on his face. He said calmly, "Deputy Director Guo, what a big official you are! Do you really think Jiangzhou Hospital is your family's business? You can fire anyone you want!"

When Guo Danu saw the smile on Ye Qiu's face, he felt a chill. He thought, Could this guy have a trump card?

Even if he has a trump card, I'm not afraid of him. He slapped Old Li, and Director Li saw it with his own eyes.

Thinking this, Guo Danu felt confident and shouted, "Ye Qiu, you have seriously violated medical ethics and hospital regulations. As the deputy director, I have the authority to fire you."

"Which eye did you see me violate the hospital's regulations?" Ye Qiu countered.

"Ye Qiu, you hit Old Li, and both Director Li and I saw it with our own eyes. Do you still want to deny it?" Guo Danu sneered.

"I did hit him, so what?"

"Are you even ashamed to ask? You hit someone and think it's justified..."

"Wait!" Ye Qiu interrupted Guo Danu and said, "I did hit him, that's true. But on what grounds do you say I violated the hospital's regulations? Just because you're the deputy director?"

Guo Danu was also angered by Ye Qiu and said sternly, "Ye Qiu, don't try to be a smartass. I've decided, not only will I fire you, but I will also report your behavior to the relevant authorities and revoke your medical license. You don't deserve to be a doctor."

"If I don't deserve to be a doctor, then you deserve it even less."

Ye Qiu shot back at Guo Danu and then said to Director Li, "I hit Old Li to wake him up. I think you wouldn't want to see your father lying in a coma for the rest of his life, would you?"

Guo Danu's face changed. "Ye Qiu, what do you mean?"

"Deputy Director Guo, are you deaf or just don't understand human language?" Ye Qiu said, "I already said clearly, I hit Old Li to wake him up. So, I didn't violate the hospital's regulations, let alone medical ethics."

"Nonsense!" Guo Danu laughed in anger. "I've been a doctor for many years, and this is the first time I've heard someone say hitting someone is saving them. If I weren't a doctor, I might have been fooled by you."

"Don't you believe me?" Ye Qiu smiled. "If you don't believe me, look for yourself. Old Li is about to wake up."

Guo Danu didn't believe it. A patient who had been in a coma for five years couldn't possibly be woken up by a single slap.

If such a method could cure a coma patient, there wouldn't be so many coma patients in the world.

But as he stared at Ye Qiu, he noticed that Ye Qiu looked calm, not like someone who was lying. He couldn't help but wonder, Could this guy really wake up Old Li?

Impossible!

Guo Danu quickly dismissed the thought.

Old Li had been in a coma for five years. During this time, Director Li had consulted many medical experts and tried every possible method to wake Old Li, but all attempts ended in failure. Ye Qiu was just a probationary doctor who hadn't even been officially hired. How could he possibly wake Old Li up?

This guy must be lying.

Thinking this, Guo Danu sneered, "At this point, Ye Qiu, stop pretending."

"Pretending? What am I pretending?" Ye Qiu was confused.

"Don't think I don't know. Recently, you've had a lot of troubles, and you're frustrated but have nowhere to vent. So, you vented your frustration by hitting Old Li."

"But you didn't expect that Director Li and I would catch you, so you pretended to be treating Old Li to get away with it, so you wouldn't be fired and could continue working at the hospital, right?"

Guo Danu thought he had figured out Ye Qiu's intentions and looked smug.

To hell with that!

Ye Qiu almost swore.

"Deputy Director Guo, your reasoning skills are impressive. I admire you," Ye Qiu said, then continued, "Instead of talking so much nonsense, why don't you take a look? Old Li is really about to wake up."

Guo Danu still didn't believe it, but seeing Ye Qiu's confident expression, he decided to take a look.

He walked to the bedside.

Guo Danu looked down and saw that Old Li was still in a coma, looking peaceful, with no signs of waking up.

"Ye Qiu, this is what you call 'about to wake up'? Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Who are you trying to fool..."

Pfft!

Before he could finish, Old Li suddenly opened his mouth and spat a thick wad of phlegm onto Guo Danu's face.
