"That’s me. Can I help you with something?" Li Jingsheng sensed that this middle-aged couple seemed unfriendly and responded cautiously.
Boss Zhao secretly sized up the duo, unable to hide a sly smile from creeping up his lips.
He was quite pleased to see something going wrong at the Sunshine Clinic.
With his experience, he was certain this middle-aged couple was here to cause trouble.
"Was there a seventy-something old lady who came to see you last night? She came in with a cane."
The woman directly asked.
"Yes, I did see such a patient."
Li Jingsheng admitted openly.
He had also gotten a handle on their identities.
"My mother-in-law is still lying in the hospital, unconscious. You left her there without doing anything, and what is that supposed to mean?" The woman’s aggressive questioning was intense.
Boss Zhao, seeing the situation, immediately shrank his neck back.
"Dr. Li, it seems you’ve got something on your plate; I’ll visit some other time." Having said this, Boss Zhao didn’t forget to take another dig at Li Jingsheng’s business, calling into the infusion room. "Tang Ping, I’m leaving now. What I said before still stands; you can join me anytime for work."
He was convinced that Li Jingsheng could not escape his doom.
He also harbored a strong desire for Tang Ping’s body.
Once he lured her over, he would eventually find a chance to make a move.
Watching Boss Zhao quickly leave, Li Jingsheng was full of disdain.
Leaving so quickly, wasn’t it just to avoid getting burned?
After all, a medical mishap is definitely not a good thing.
Boss Zhao also ran a clinic. It was easy for him to get caught up in the collateral damage, so naturally, he avoided it like the plague.
"I sent the person to the hospital for emergency treatment, completely fulfilling my responsibilities. What do you mean by this now?"
Li Jingsheng clearly stood at a different level of confidence facing the pair.
However, the man’s mere glance was enough to make his heart shiver.
"The accident happened in your clinic, and leaving the person in the hospital while ignoring it, what do you mean by asking us? You must take responsibility for this."
The woman shrieked sharply.
A man should never argue with a woman because they are simply no match for them.
"I cannot take responsibility for this. I believe my clinic has no responsibility." Li Jingsheng stated bluntly.
Despite having a status far inferior to these two, justice and law provide protection for the rights of ordinary people. Instead of being responsible, he had merits for rescuing them, which made his arguments sound just and righteous.
"If this is your attitude, then we’ll have to let the police talk to you!"
The man spoke.
The tone carried a powerful confidence, like a lofty mountain, giving a sense of being unshakeable, able to fulfill what was said.
"No problem, then just report it to the police!"
Li Jingsheng couldn’t show weakness.
He knew very well how terrifying a medical disturbance could be.
Any sign of weakness could lead the other party to push their advantage relentlessly.
This middle-aged couple must have sought information from the hospital’s doctors and nurses.
They came not to express gratitude, but to hold Li Jingsheng responsible, which was extremely hard to accept.
Luckily, he had backed up the surveillance footage after returning yesterday.
Everything would be clear once the police conducted their investigation.
The two patients in the infusion room naturally heard the quarrel outside.
They both peeked their heads out to look.
Upon hearing that Sunshine Clinic had botched a treatment and abandoned the patient after sending them to the hospital, causing the family to come for an explanation, a sense of fear gripped their hearts. What if they were given problematic medication too, what would they do then?
"Nurse, I don’t want this injection anymore." Ms. Ou, growing more frightened, hurriedly asked Tang Ping to remove the needle for her.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Tang Ping asked.
"I’d feel more at ease being treated at a big hospital."
When it comes to matters of life and death, few patients are easy to converse with.
Ms. Ou, not long ago, was full of praise for Sunshine Clinic, lauding the skills of Li Jingsheng and Tang Ping’s excellent service—now she turned quicker than flipping pages.
"There’s no need to worry, really. We are a licensed clinic, and both Dr. Li and I hold practice certificates recognized by national health authorities." Tang Ping naturally understood why the patient suddenly wanted to unplug the needle.
