Chunliang had lived two lives and had seen all kinds of people. From the first glance, he could tell that this old lady was sharp-tongued and mean. He smiled and said, "The ears are the openings of the kidneys, corresponding to both our kidneys. A normal person's ears are plump and moist, indicating sufficient innate kidney yin. Your ears are dry and dark, indicating a severe deficit in kidney water, which is why your ears feel hot."
Mrs. Jiang took out her phone and used the front camera to look at her ears, and indeed, it was exactly as Xu Chunliang described.
Xu Chunliang continued, "Are you experiencing dry mouth, increased nighttime urination, impatience, and even insomnia?"
Mrs. Jiang nodded and said, "Yes... I went to the neurology department because I couldn't sleep, and that Zhao Yongsheng has terrible medical ethics. I want to ruin him."
Cheng Xiaohong quietly sneered. What did Zhao Yongsheng do to offend her? It was clearly her own fault, yet she insisted she was right. Indeed, today's elderly have turned wicked.
Xu Chunliang remained very patient: "Ma'am, getting worked up is harmful to your health. If I may be blunt, in your current condition, losing your temper is like adding fuel to the fire. Once your kidney water is depleted, I fear... tsk tsk..."
"What do you fear?" Mrs. Jiang looked terrified.
Before Xu Chunliang could answer, Tan Guoliang, the deputy director of the urology department, stormed in angrily and yelled as soon as he entered: "What is the medical affairs office doing? We work hard to earn money for the hospital. Don't we deserve some credit? When trouble arises, you push everything onto us."
Wang Dalei was causing trouble again. The other day at the medical affairs office, Xu Chunliang had slapped him twice. This time he changed his strategy, avoiding the medical affairs office altogether, and went directly to the clinic to find Tan Guoliang, the surgeon who operated on his father. In front of the patient, he berated Tan Guoliang, making a scene.
Tan Guoliang, filled with anger, came looking for an explanation from the medical affairs office. He had reasons to be upset; regarding Wang Dalei's father's case, the hospital had formed an expert group to evaluate it. The results showed that his surgery had no issues, and Wang Dalei was simply making trouble.
Today Wang Dalei caused a scene, and Tan Guoliang told him to go to the medical affairs office. Wang Dalei claimed that the medical affairs office told him to find Tan Guoliang.
Feeling wronged, Tan Guoliang was upset that doctors worked for the hospital, and when a problem occurs, the hospital just pushes them away, making people lose heart.
Upon entering without seeing Zhou Wenbin, he angrily slammed the table and said, "Where's Zhou Wenbin? He hides when trouble arises. I really don't understand what the medical affairs office manages to accomplish. All the work is done by us. When problems arise, you don't coordinate; instead, you add to the chaos. Why does the hospital keep feeding you freeloaders?"
Seeing his anger, Cheng Xiaohong quickly smiled and persuaded him: "Director Tan, don't be mad. Director Zhou went to a meeting at the health bureau. I assure you we didn't tell Wang Dalei to find you. We've been actively resolving your issues."
"What issues do I have? The expert group assessed, and my surgery was flawless!" Tan Guoliang shouted at Cheng Xiaohong.
"You're clear, with no issues. Then why is Wang Dalei looking for you?"
Tan Guoliang was taken aback and turned to the young man who spoke: "How dare you speak like that?"
Xu Chunliang held a teacup calmly and said, "If you have no issues at all, all the problems should be with us in the medical affairs office. So why is Wang Dalei looking for you?"
Tan Guoliang heard the sarcasm in his words and approached Xu Chunliang, "What did you say?"
Beside them, Mrs. Jiang was anxious about her kidney water deficiency. The crucial conversation with Xu Chunliang was interrupted by Tan Guoliang, who came in shouting. Slightly annoyed, she pointed to Tan Guoliang and scolded, "What's your quality? How dare you speak to a young person like that? Don't think you're above because you're a director. Changxing Hospital's reputation is ruined by impostors like you."
Tan Guoliang recognized the old lady but was confused. Wasn't she always causing trouble for Zhao Yongsheng? Why was she picking a fight with him? What did I ever do to you?
Cheng Xiaohong quickly introduced: "Director Tan, calm down. This is Xiaoxu, who just joined our department. He's still getting familiar with his work."
Knowing it was a newcomer, Tan Guoliang got even angrier: "Who are you? Do you even have a role here?"
Xu Chunliang said, "If you can shout here, I can't even speak in my own department?"
The old lady interrupted: "Xiaoxu, don't stoop to the level of someone with poor manners. Let's continue our conversation. What's the real issue with my illness?" The older one gets, the more they fear death. Xu Chunliang's earlier analysis matched her condition perfectly, raising his image significantly in her mind.
Realizing this young man was tough, yet considering his position and status at the hospital, this young man should have shown some respect. He was just about to try leveraging his position to suppress Xu Chunliang.
Wang Dalei came in with a group of people, five in total this time.
Once again, the security guards were absent when truly needed.
Frightened, Cheng Xiaohong hurried to call the security office.
Though outwardly calm, Tan Guoliang felt panic. Righteous arguments wouldn't work with uncouth people, and he had ample experience with Wang Dalei's tough nature.
Upon entering, Wang Dalei's gaze fixed on Xu Chunliang. Remembering the slapping incident, he had investigated Xu Chunliang and knew he was an electrician. Seeing him today made him wonder if the medical affairs office's lights broke again. How coincidental was it that he appeared every time?
Not at all intimidated, Xu Chunliang smiled at him, "Here you are! How's your face?"
Opening a can of worms, Wang Dalei's big black face flushed, turning as red as pig's liver. No matter how dull, anyone could hear the sarcasm in Xu Chunliang's words.
Pointing at Xu Chunliang, Wang Dalei said, "I'll settle accounts with you later." He glared at Tan Guoliang, saying, "Today, let's get this clear. You must give me an explanation for my father's death, which you caused."
Tan Guoliang responded, "Your father's death has nothing to do with me."
"Bullshit! Weren't you the one who recklessly operated on him? I even treated you to two dinners for my father's surgery. You think you can just walk away?"
Wang Dalei and his group surrounded Tan Guoliang. Glancing at Xu Chunliang, Tan Guoliang asked, "Is your medical affairs office doing anything?" No one could be relied upon in this crucial moment, and he couldn't escape, being blocked inside the office.
Xu Chunliang replied, "Didn't you say we're freeloaders? Our job is to mediate medical disputes, ensuring the safety of the medical staff is the responsibility of the security department. Why don't you find them?"
Cheng Xiaohong actually thought the same, but how could such words be publicly spoken? After all, Xu Chunliang was young and had issues with emotional intelligence. However, she had to admit that saying it out loud was truly satisfying. She looked outside the door; the security department hadn't arrived yet, and usually, it would take at least five minutes.
Wang Dalei approached aggressively, scaring Tan Guoliang into retreating, but after just two steps, he was blocked from behind by Wang Dalei's accomplices.
Wang Dalei's fierce look was revealed, gritting his teeth as if he wanted to eat Tan Liande alive.
Tan Liande trembled and said, "You all…don't do anything stupid…the security department will be here soon…"
Thud!
It was the elderly lady who had just complained, collapsing straight to the ground.
Everyone was dumbfounded; how could someone steal the scene at such a critical moment?
Xu Chunliang said to Cheng Xiaohong, "Call the police!" Then he pointed at Wang Dalei's nose and said, "If someone dies, all of you will go to prison."
Wang Dalei blinked his small eyes and looked at the old lady lying on the ground, "What does it have to do with me? I didn't even touch her." His accomplice gave him a look, indicating that things were not right, and they should get away quickly.
Wang Dalei was also all bark and no bite; he caused trouble merely to extort some compensation money and didn't want to get innocently involved in other disputes. He poked Tan Guoliang's chest hard, implying that they would settle this account another day, and turned to leave.
However, Xu Chunliang was already standing at the door of the medical office, blocking everyone's way, and sneered, "No one is allowed to leave until this matter is resolved!"
Wang Dalei got angry and reached out to push Xu Chunliang's chest, "Get the hell out of my way!"
Xu Chunliang grabbed his wrist, twisted his body in a beautiful back throw, and spun Wang Dalei's burly body into the air, slamming him heavily onto the hard ground, causing Wang Dalei to scream in pain.
At this moment, the head of the security department led a large group of security guards up the stairs, witnessing the scene before them. They were dumbfounded, shocked by the sight. Damn, a fight had broken out!
Wang Dalei's accomplices were ready to step forward, but Xu Chunliang pinned Wang Dalei's back with his knee and twisted his tattooed arm, causing Wang Dalei to scream again like a pig being slaughtered.
Xu Chunliang shouted, "Stand still, all of you! Cheng Xiaohong, call the police!"
The security chief, Yu Xiangdong, hurried forward, "Hold on, hold on, we'll handle this!"
Xu Chunliang ignored him, "Call the police!"
Cheng Xiaohong hesitated with her phone. Wouldn't calling the police openly embarrass the security department?
Yu Xiangdong came up to Xu Chunliang, "Young man, I'm with the security department, let us handle this."
Xu Chunliang replied, "Where were you earlier? Could you handle it if someone died?"
"Someone died?" Yu Xiangdong's face turned pale at once. Could there really be a fatal incident? Although there were several administrative departments nearby, they surely heard the commotion, but almost no one came out, preferring to avoid trouble. The medical office was always a place of unrest, and people had grown accustomed to it.
Cheng Xiaohong still listened to Xu Chunliang and dialed 110.
It wasn't long before the police arrived. It wasn't the first time they had come to the hospital, but in the past, it was usually the security department that called them. They would only call the police if the security department couldn't handle it. This time, it was the medical office that called directly.
Security chief Yu Xiangdong went over to exchange information with the police, and before the police arrived, the hospital's emergency personnel had carried away the unconscious old lady on a stretcher for emergency treatment.
Yu Xiangdong didn't know the specifics, only that both parties had come to the medical office to cause trouble and that Mrs. Jiang suddenly had a seizure and fainted.
Wang Dalei, feeling wronged, shouted, "Officer, this has nothing to do with us. We didn't touch that old lady. I swear on my integrity…"
The police got a basic understanding. Besides the troublemaking hooligans, there were also two staff members from the medical office and Tan Guoliang from the urology department at the scene.
Tan Guoliang was surrounded by Wang Dalei's gang and truly didn't see the situation clearly.
Xu Chunliang insisted that Mrs. Jiang was frightened by the criminals led by Wang Dalei and had fainted from excessive shock.
Hearing that Xu Chunliang spoke so confidently, Tan Guoliang, who was the target of Wang Dalei's trouble, couldn't refute Xu Chunliang's statement when asked to confirm. He told the police that even he was terrified by those ruffians, implying that Mrs. Jiang was indeed intimidated by these hooligans.
Cheng Xiaohong didn't see the situation clearly either, but she said that she was very scared at the time. These people were fierce and intimidating; they not only threatened Director Tan but also wanted to hit Xu Chunliang, who ended up subduing them on the spot, emphasizing that Xu Chunliang acted in self-defense.
The police believed that what Xu Chunliang said was the truth, fully aware of what kind of person Wang Dalei was. They didn't know the exact situation of Mrs. Jiang yet, but if there was indeed a death, Wang Dalei and his gang would be the main culprits, so they immediately handcuffed Wang Dalei and his accomplices.
Wang Dalei was truly scared now, crying out his innocence, not expecting things to escalate to this point. If that old lady died, he and his accomplices would definitely rot in jail.
As Wang Dalei was being taken away, he shouted, "Xu Chunliang, you're slandering me, you're slandering me! I won't let you get away with it! When I get out, I'll kill you!"
The police reminded him, "That very statement could get you an additional charge for threatening a state official."
Wang Dalei's accomplices looked at each other in dismay, thinking, now it's about killing someone, and can only pray that the old lady is okay; if something happened to her, the one ending up dead wouldn't be Xu Chunliang.
