My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1409 - 561: Confession and Rescue Operation
Previously on My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points...
Zhou Can, dedicated to keeping her reputation intact, ensured her burgeoning respect and gratitude towards him deepened.
This appreciation manifested directly in her professional conduct.
She became notably more proactive in her duties.
Four days thus passed, and aware of Zhou Can's significant high-interest debt, he gave her special attention at work, intentionally cultivating more avenues for her to augment her earnings.
After finishing his workday, Jiang Wei accompanied Zhou Can on a ward inspection.
"Jiang Wei, I haven't noticed you taking on any side jobs lately!" Zhou Can initiated the conversation.
Engaging in supplementary work could yield substantial additional income.
For instance, during a past surgery at First Hospital, Zhou Can received a gratifying 3,000 yuan; Jiang Wei, it was expected, would have netted around 1,000 yuan. Subsequently, Zhou Can made a point of giving 1,000 yuan to Zhong Ming the following day.
Considering Zhong Ming's position as a deputy chief physician, he was fulfilling the role of a junior doctor as per the arrangement, receiving a minimal consultation fee.
Naturally, Zhou Can felt obligated to provide some form of compensation.
Offering Zhong Ming 1,000 yuan was deemed perfectly suitable.
Although Zhong Ming initially demurred, he ultimately yielded to Zhou Can's persistence and accepted the money, a broad smile illuminating his face, clearly indicating his profound gratitude.
This underscored the undeniable influence of monetary gain.
It possessed the capacity to significantly fortify interpersonal bonds and bestow a profound sense of contentment.
"I... I am truly sorry about this letter I wrote to you. Had I the chance to choose again, I would undoubtedly cherish it more."
She presented him with a pre-written letter and promptly departed.
It was evident that she was struggling to suppress tears as she left.
Holding the letter, folded into a neat triangle, Zhou Can was utterly perplexed.
His simple inquiry about her lack of side jobs had inexplicably caused her to weep?
Furthermore, her tone seemed rather unusual.
The letter was meticulously folded, consuming some of Zhou Can's time to carefully unfold.
"Dr. Zhou, please accept my sincerest apologies; I misled you from the very beginning! Driven by dire financial straits, an individual approached me with a proposition: to get close to you, earn your trust, and orchestrate your downfall. However, after spending considerable time with you, I recognized your unwavering dedication to patient care and your exceptionally high medical skills, which were beyond reproach. Your consistent kindness towards colleagues, your earnest efforts in teaching and assisting them, left no room for criticism. Moreover, your detached attitude towards financial gain made any attempt at bribery futile, ensuring you would not falter."
"You stand as the most principled male doctor I have encountered, and your integrity has filled me with profound shame. My two invitations for you to undertake side jobs were, in fact, orchestrated by that very individual. They pledged a sum of 500,000 yuan upon my success in bringing you down. In my desperate need for funds, I persistently urged you to accept assignments until one finally succeeded. The subsequent plan involved the patient initiating legal action against you, with First Hospital offering full cooperation to implicate you, fabricating a mountain of damning evidence. Concurrently, I was slated to be the key witness..."
Indeed, the visit a few days prior had been part of a calculated scheme.
Fortunately, Zhou Can had foreseen this possibility and had implemented a contingency plan.
Throughout the surgery, Zhou Can meticulously followed all medical regulations, leaving no vulnerabilities for attack.
The sole aspect they could exploit was performing a surgery beyond his designated rank.
A junior resident doctor was typically equipped to handle surgeries up to Level 2, and theoretically, could only lead Level 1 procedures. Yet, he had performed a major Level 3 surgery, a significant deviation from his authorized scope.
However, the presence of a deputy chief surgeon acting as a supervisor would effectively neutralize this scheme.
"Ever since that night when you rushed into the neighborhood to rescue me and bravely confronted the assailant, choosing to endure injury rather than let me be harmed, I felt an unparalleled warmth bloom in my heart. Even my own parents never displayed such profound kindness towards me. Later, you insisted on escorting me to my doorstep, departing only after ensuring I had safely secured my door. Through the peephole, I watched your retreating figure, weeping as fiercely as a child... You were, in truth, far too benevolent towards me."
"Furthermore, my enthusiastic assistance to Qiao Yu concerning her overseas study plans was a calculated move to gain her confidence. Through audio recordings, I have managed to compile certain evidence of you presiding over Level 3 surgeries in routine practice."
"If I were a serpent with a heart of ice, your warmth has now melted me. I've decided to abandon the plan to trap you and instead resign to leave this city. That sum of 500,000 yuan? I desperately want it, but my conscience would be tormented. Secretly plotting against you has already caused me immense anguish. Testifying against you in court and attacking your reputation would ruin a doctor as good as you, and I would be forever burdened by guilt. I cannot do this... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! Please forgive the harm I've already done!"
"Good people deserve a life of peace; I sincerely hope you find it. Should the patient's family pursue legal action, I am willing to be your witness and help you prove your innocence!"
"From this moment onward, my heart will forever be warmed, for you are my light."
Upon finishing the letter, Zhou Can exhaled a long, lingering breath.
It appears that performing good deeds and accumulating virtue can often, quite unexpectedly, avert disaster.
Indeed, it seems that benevolent actions do yield positive returns.
At the very least, in this world, the hearts of most individuals remain warm and their spirits passionate.
Jiang Wei's initial objective was merely to bring down Zhou Can and secure the 500,000 yuan, yet she ultimately chose to relinquish it.
This decision brought a sense of comfort to Zhou Can.
