Chapter 125 - Let Me Handle It (1/2)

“Can’t I?” Wei Feng smirked.

“Reporter Wei, doctors are getting unethical nowadays, and this hospital is charging such an unreasonably high price for simple treatment. Poor people like us can’t take it anymore.” Despite his attempt to look like a farmer, the exposed tattoo on the yellow-toothed, inked man’s body clearly stated otherwise.

“Let’s go somewhere quiet for me to record your story.” Wei Feng smiled and added, “After all, I’ve to listen to both sides to ensure that my report is unbiased and fair.”

Zheng Ren stared coldly at Reporter Wei, who was declaring black to be white.

As a doctor, curing disease and saving lives were his fields of expertise, not debates or wars of words.

As Wei Feng pocketed his notepad and left, Zheng Ren felt an encroaching darkness stretch out and threaten to engulf his future.

The use of tea as a urine sample was many years ago, and most people did not have the faintest idea what had happened at the time, but its repercussions had ripples to this day.

A few years ago, a woman’s a.n.u.s had been sutured during episiotomy repair after childbirth. The incident had been reported by a large newspaper and its effects had been catastrophic. Even though it was confirmed to be fake news, the reporter did not apologize for his mistake and worse, the medical staff involved had been the ones to bear the consequences in the end.

This had induced panic in the nationwide medical field, especially the emergency and pediatrics departments, and many large hospitals had thus stopped their pediatrics departments from operating at night.

The troublemakers responsible for distorting the truth would never a.s.sume all this to be their doing. Perhaps a few of them did, but who among them cared, anyway?

Just like today, once it was determined that the doctors were guilty of dereliction of duty for performing surgery on a patient who did not need it and charged a high price afterward…

Zheng Ren desperately wanted to drag them by their collars and let them have a good look at the pools of dark red blood splattered all over the stretcher trolley in the resuscitation room and the operating table in the interventional radiology suite.

Surgery was ‘not required’?

The woman would have died in ten to twenty minutes if she had been left unattended.

However, who gave a d.a.m.n about the truth?

The family merely wanted their medical expenses waived and a high compensation from the hospital.

The reporter only cared about fame and promotions.

The people willing to treat disease under radiation and risk their lives to save another were merely an insignificant speck of dust in their eyes.

Watching Wei Feng slowly vanish into the distance, Zheng Ren’s pupils contracted and everything turned to black and white.

Reporter Wei had clearly expressed his views in front of him.

It was difficult to sell news of doctors successfully treating illnesses and saving lives in today’s world, but indiscriminately performing surgery with sky-high medical charges? That was breaking news.

What would the man choose? Zheng Ren could guess even if he were to count off his fingers.

“Ding!” The elevator rang, and at the same time, a dozen burly brutes emerged from the fire escape.

Huh? They looked familiar, and Zheng Ren… seemed to recognize the leader of the group…

He was Little Six, the one with whom he had had supper at a food skewer stall last time.

Behind the crowd stood a listless figure: Su Yun.

“What do you want?” His path was blocked by a group of beefy ruffians, Reporter Wei lost his earlier sense of superiority and instantly became nervous.

“What, is this your house?” asked Little Six as he gazed at the man contemptuously.

“…” Little Six’s aggression alongside the dozen brutes in black suits behind him had an absolutely overwhelming aura that left Reporter Wei speechless.

The many men who looked out of place among the patient’s family members quickly backed off in terror as soon as they saw Little Six. They looked as if they wanted the earth to open up and swallow them whole.

Reporter Wei gave them a hateful glare and left the scene in a hurry.

“Brother Zheng, are you alright?” Little Six asked out of concern, approaching Zheng Ren.

“I am now,” replied Zheng Ren with a bitter smile.
