My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1419 - 565: Escorted Away, Comeback_2

A security captain’s sharp command ignited the scene, and several guards swiftly descended upon him, their grips like wolf and tiger claws latching onto his arms.

"We are the security, responsible for maintaining order here. In this uniform, we have the authority to handle anyone within the hospital premises. Escort him out."

Disdain was etched all over the security captain’s face.

Supported by two burly guards, with another pushing from behind, Zhang Mingxing was manhandled forward.

It was a clear case of the scholar confronting the soldier – logic had no place here.

The security guards relied on sheer force; engaging in any form of rational discussion was out of the question for them.

"Let me go, you scoundrels! Release me this instant! I will lodge a formal complaint against all of you!"

"File whatever you wish. We fear no complaints," the security captain retorted with a cold sneer, utterly unfazed by the threat.

They were merely following orders from the hospital’s administration. Even if a complaint reached the Medical Department, it would vanish without a trace.

"You, you… all you have is that uniform! Security is the lowest tier, do you really think you’re some kind of police force? You have no right to detain me. Let me go, or I’ll call the actual police!"

A dignified vice president of Third Hospital, now being manhandled like a common criminal by a few guards in plain sight of everyone – how could he possibly maintain his reputation?

All the way, Zhang Mingxing’s roars filled the air, attempting every form of threat he could muster.

His protests only resulted in even rougher handling.

While they refrained from striking him, the pressure on his arms twisted behind his back silently intensified, eliciting howls of pain from Zhang Mingxing.

Watching Zhang Mingxing being led away, Zhou Can could only offer a helpless shake of his head.

It was about time someone took Third Hospital to task.

They had wronged numerous doctors and nurses who had transferred to their institution; it was, in Zhou Can's experience, the most morally bankrupt hospital he had ever encountered.

Other hospitals, when recruiting, were at least courteous and made genuine efforts to fulfill their promised terms.

After all, it was meant to be a mutually beneficial arrangement.

However, Third Hospital operated differently: they issued a plethora of bounced checks and couldn't even cover basic salaries. To make matters worse, they had deceived these job-hopping professionals into signing exploitative contracts.

Every action was meticulously designed to disadvantage those who had switched hospitals.

It was practically a living hell for anyone seeking a new position.

Zhou Can then walked towards Su Qianqian, who was waiting for him nearby, holding a thermos lunch box.

"Honey, are you alright?"

"I'm perfectly fine. That person, though, didn't fare so well."

Zhou Can simply shrugged and took the thermos from her. Upon opening it, he found it brimming with all his favorite dishes.

"You’ve prepared so many delicious meals for me again! Thank you, my dear wife!"

Unable to wait any longer, he immediately began to eat.

He had spent the entire afternoon engaged in strenuous physical labor and was now ravenously hungry.

"Hehe, they say to capture a man’s heart, you must first win over his stomach. As long as you enjoy my cooking, you won’t be tempted by anyone else."

She beamed with particular delight.

Witnessing Zhou Can’s evident enjoyment of her cooking brought her an immense sense of satisfaction.

"Even without winning over my stomach, I would never cheat on you. However, now that my stomach is full, my happiness has certainly multiplied tenfold."

"Eat slower, there’s no need to rush! Eating too quickly is detrimental to your health, didn't you know that?"

Su Qianqian's beautiful eyes were fixated solely on him.

This was a love deeply ingrained, etched into their very beings.

Since they had fallen in love, Zhou Can and Su Qianqian had faced many trials together. Their mutual affection was indelibly imprinted upon their hearts.

...

The following morning, Zhou Can received a concise message from Jiang Wei.

"Funds secured. Prepare yourself."

He hadn't anticipated the entity pulling the strings behind the scenes would be so prompt in delivering the payment.

Five hundred thousand was undeniably a substantial sum.

It seemed his suspicion was correct – the financial backer was undoubtedly Third Hospital.

Yesterday, Zhang Mingxing had visited Tuya Hospital to issue an ultimatum to Zhou Can, only to be severely roughed up by the hospital’s security personnel.

He must have been absolutely enraged.

Most likely, an agreement had been reached with Jiang Wei overnight, paving the way for their plan to take down Zhou Can.

"Understood!"

Zhou Can replied with just two characters.

At times, circumstances align in the most unexpected ways. Yesterday's minor "incident," which had so infuriated Zhang Mingxing, had inadvertently compelled Third Hospital to accelerate their plans and finalize a deal with Jiang Wei.

They had even paid the sum upfront.

This was no small feat.

One had to understand that Third Hospital had been notoriously unreliable with payments for a considerable time.

As far back as a few months prior, their financial solvency had begun to falter. They had been barely managing to stay afloat until now, and scraping together five hundred thousand was surely a difficult task.

Emerging from the operating room at noon, Zhou Can discovered a court summons awaiting him.

He found himself being sued by the family of a patient.

This wasn't just any family; it belonged to the patient he had successfully treated at First Hospital that fateful night.

It seemed the age-old tale of the Farmer and the Snake was unfolding in real life.

The lawsuit cited several reasons, prominently featuring the accusation of "performing surgery beyond his authorized level."

After declining Vice President Zhang's offer yesterday and receiving this summons today, Zhou Can realized the retribution was swift.

"That family is truly revealing their avarice. The surgery was conducted at First Hospital, yet they target me instead of the hospital itself," he mused.

Had Zhou Can not been forewarned, who knew what predicament he might have faced.

Dr. Xu had cautioned him long ago, highlighting the inherent dangers of making private house calls.

He had advised minimizing such off-the-books engagements unless financial necessity dictated otherwise.

Upon receiving the legal notice, Zhou Can maintained his composure and proceeded directly to his company's legal department to arrange their involvement, entrusting them with the case.

Concurrently, he personally contacted Zhong Ming, extending an invitation for dinner that same evening.

Later that night, within the private confines of a restaurant's dining room, only Zhou Can and Zhong Ming were present. Zhou Can recounted the details of the lawsuit brought by the patient's family, expressing his hope that Zhong Ming would lend his support when the time came.

Zhong Ming readily agreed without a moment's hesitation.

Even setting aside the fact that Zhou Can had generously given him an extra thousand from his consultation fee the day after their house call, Zhong Ming would have assisted him regardless.

...

In the courtroom, Zhou Can had specifically requested leave from the hospital to attend the hearing.
