Chapter 93

The next day.

When Ye Qiu went to work at the hospital, he heard a piece of news.

Guo Dangnu, devastated by the loss of his beloved son and being fired from the hospital, had suffered a mental breakdown.

He had already been admitted to a psychiatric hospital for treatment.

Ye Qiu knew that it wasn't just a double blow, but a quadruple blow. Guo Dangnu's wife had not only run off with the money but also given him a green hat.

"People who do too many bad things will eventually suffer the consequences."

Ye Qiu sighed.

After a full day of work.

After work, he went to find Lin Jingzhi.

...

Dusk.

Ye Qiu pushed Lin Jingzhi along the path by the lake. The sunset illuminated her face, making her look like a fairy, exquisitely beautiful.

"Lin Jie, was it you who reported Guo Dangnu?"

Ye Qiu asked softly.

"Why do you think it was me?" Lin Jingzhi countered.

"Because whenever I'm in danger, you always stand up to protect me."

Actually, on the way back from the police station yesterday, Ye Qiu had been thinking about who had reported Guo Dangnu.

Moreover, it only took half an hour to get Guo Dangnu fired from the hospital, which was not something an ordinary person could do.

After much thought, among the people he knew, only Dragon King, Bai Bing, and Lin Jingzhi had the capability to do this.

When he was taken away by the police, Dragon King and Bai Bing were unaware, so it could only have been Lin Jingzhi.

Furthermore, the speed and ruthlessness of the action were very much in line with Lin Jingzhi's character.

"Actually, when I learned about the conflict between you and Guo Dangnu, I started investigating them secretly. What I didn't expect was that both father and son were no good, one worse than the other."

Lin Jingzhi said, "In just two years, Guo Dangnu received over four million yuan in red envelopes. He even demanded red envelopes from patients and their families who couldn't afford them."

"Do you know that last year, a child was critically ill and needed a kidney transplant to survive? The hospital had a matching kidney, but Guo Dangnu refused to arrange the surgery and said that if they wanted the kidney, they had to give him fifty thousand yuan."

"Finally, the child's parents sold their house to gather the fifty thousand yuan and gave it to Guo Dangnu, only then did they get the kidney."

"This is just one of many examples."

Lin Jingzhi said angrily, "In this era, it's not uncommon for doctors to receive red envelopes, but doctors like Guo Dangnu, who extort red envelopes without any底线, are extremely rare. He is a disgrace to the medical profession."

Ye Qiu said, "I always knew Guo Dangnu wasn't a good person, but I didn't expect him to be so bad. Fortunately, the hospital fired him; otherwise, he would have harmed many more people in the future."

"Ye Qiu, have you ever received a red envelope from a patient?" Lin Jingzhi suddenly asked.

"Yes." Ye Qiu didn't hide anything, "Some patients give red envelopes when they see a doctor. At first, I refused them outright, but later, I was scolded by Director Bai."

"Oh?" Lin Jingzhi sneered, "Bai Bing seems to be of high moral character, but I didn't expect him to be greedy too."

"Lin Jie, you misunderstood. Although Director Bai sometimes accepts red envelopes from patients, after treating them, he tries his best to return the red envelopes. If the patients insist on not taking them back, he will put the money into their hospital fees."

Lin Jingzhi was puzzled, "Why go through all that trouble? Why not just refuse to accept them in the first place?"

Ye Qiu explained, "Patients give red envelopes to doctors hoping that the doctors will be more attentive and serious when treating them. If the doctor refuses, the patients will be uneasy. Sometimes we temporarily accept the red envelopes to make the patients feel more at ease. This is what Director Bai taught me."

"I see, it seems I misunderstood Bai Bing."

Ye Qiu asked again, "Does Guo Dangnu have other issues?"

"Plenty." Lin Jingzhi said, "He collaborated with pharmaceutical companies to introduce drugs to Jiangzhou Hospital and took kickbacks. In just a few years, he bought a villa in the city center worth over ten million yuan."

"Also, he has a lover, who is the head nurse in the internal medicine department of your hospital. She had two abortions for him."

"Besides these, he has other issues. If he hadn't been sent to the psychiatric hospital, he would have gone to jail for at least ten years."

Ye Qiu was stunned.

He really didn't expect Guo Dangnu to have so many problems.

It seems that being sent to the psychiatric hospital was a good outcome for Guo Dangnu.

"I used to think that Guo Shaocong became a scoundrel because Guo Dangnu didn't raise him well. Now I realize that Guo Shaocong was just following his father's example. Truly, a crooked beam at the top makes the lower beams crooked."

Lin Jingzhi suddenly stopped, turned to look at Ye Qiu, and said seriously, "Can you promise me one thing?"

"What is it?"

"Always be a good doctor. Treat all your patients equally, whether they are poor or rich. Don't accept their red envelopes, don't make excessive demands on them, and adhere to medical ethics. Never forget your初心 in saving lives and healing the wounded." Lin Jingzhi sighed, "In this era, there are many doctors, but good doctors are truly rare."

"Don't worry, Lin Jie, I won't let you down." Ye Qiu said solemnly, "Lin Jie, do you remember what I said before? My greatest dream in life is to become a great doctor."

"I remember." Lin Jingzhi said, "As long as you work hard, your dream will come true. No matter when, I will support you. Keep it up!"

"Lin Jie, the last time at Crystal Palace, you stood up for me, and yesterday you helped me deal with Guo Dangnu. I don't know how to thank you."

Ye Qiu was a bit troubled.

He was most afraid of owing people favors, but now he owed Lin Jingzhi too much.

He didn't know how to repay her.

"Want to thank me? It's simple." Lin Jingzhi looked at Ye Qiu with her watery eyes and said teasingly, "How about offering yourself to me?"

"Sure." Ye Qiu said without hesitation.

Lin Jingzhi was taken aback, then giggled, her chest heaving dramatically.

"Lin Jie, what are you laughing at?"

"I suddenly feel that sometimes you can be quite cute."

Ye Qiu felt a bit disappointed.

What does Lin Jie mean?

Is she politely rejecting me?

Well, she is a goddess, and I really don't deserve her.

"Push me to the bridge." Lin Jingzhi said.

Ye Qiu looked up and saw an arched bridge ahead. He pushed Lin Jingzhi to the bridge.

As soon as they appeared on the bridge, before they could enjoy the scenery, they saw a food delivery rider in a yellow jacket running up from the other end of the bridge, holding a food box, looking very anxious.

Suddenly—

When the rider was three meters away from Lin Jingzhi, he slipped, lost his balance, and almost fell to the ground.

The food box slipped out of his hand, drew an arc in the air, and landed with a "thud" in front of Lin Jingzhi.

Lin Jingzhi bent down to pick up the food box and asked the rider with concern, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, sorry."

"It's okay."

Lin Jingzhi smiled and handed the food box to the rider.

"Thank you."

The rider thanked Lin Jingzhi and reached out to take the food box.

As his left hand grabbed the food box, a sharp dagger suddenly slipped out from the sleeve of his right hand and stabbed sharply towards Lin Jingzhi's heart.
