h4Chapter 472: Chapter 472/h4

    Since this private hospital is expensive, most patients who stay here are not necessarily rich or noble, but many are well-off, either by virtue themselves or throughprehensive insurance policies.

    They can afford to spend a great deal on medical care.

    Once theyck for nothing, they can more easily detach themselves and, from the standpoint of an observer, make calm judgments.

    "How does the hospital exin it?" Su Lu asked.

    The patient’s family member shrugged, "The hospital isn’t a fool—Doctor Lei did nothing wrong, and it’s not just us talking; other patients’ families have discussed it privately, too. The patient in bed 23 was just too weak, that’s part of the problem. Anyway, things are at a standstill for now; since their father can’t be discharged in his current condition, they make trouble every day."

    Su Lu thought to herself that when she saw You Ran yesterday, he seemed to be in an okay emotional state, unaware that such an incident had urred at his workce. No wonder You Ran ate and took away food yesterday—he probably wanted to bring Doctor Lei some nice desserts to lighten his mood.

    The noise from the ward suddenly got louder.

    Someone shouted something.

    Then there was a clear sound of something shattering, apanied by the nging as if objects had fallen to the floor.

    The family members who had been nearby all stood up, "Is something happening?"

    A voice came from inside the ward, "Hey, why are you hitting someone?"

    Startled, Su Lu quickly ran to the door of the ward.

    The scene inside the ward was chaotic, with the doctors all on guard. There were broken porcin bowls on the floor, along with stainless steel cups and dishes.

    On the shards of the broken porcin, there were traces of blood.

    "People are fighting! The doctor is hitting someone!" yelled a middle-aged woman, whose voice could be easily recognized as the one who had angrily scolded Doctor Lei before.

    Su Lu nced around but didn’t see Cheng You Ran, only the tall figure of Lei Yang with his back to the door. She looked around in confusion.

    Then she realized the reason she hadn’t seen You Ran was that he was being protected in Lei Yang’s arms.

    Taking a few more steps inside, Su Lu could see Cheng You Ran, who Lei Yang was shielding, his face somewhat pale with a swollen lump on his forehead, bleeding from a small cut.

    It wasn’t difficult to guess that he had been hit by the porcin bowl just now.

    You Ran’s face was pale, clearly a bit scared. Though he might seem to have a stronger temper than Su Lu, in reality, he wasn’t a bad-tempered person. Faced with such a situation, he could only be frightened.

    God only knew how that porcin bowl had ended up striking Cheng You Ran on the head.

    But seeing the bloodstain on You Ran’s forehead, anger began to rise in Su Lu’s heart.

    And Lei Yang, his expression cold and solemn, lips tightly pressed, gripped You Ran’s shoulder so tightly his knuckles turned white.

    The middle-aged woman continued to rant, "Doctor Lei, how can you hit someone?! Is there no justice, now anymore?! I’m going to sue you, I will sue all of you!"

    Two young doctors, likely interns who had never seen such a scene, were both angry and aggrieved, their eyes turning red as they retorted to the woman, "How can you spout such nonsense?! It was you who first threw a bowl at Doctor Lei, and when Doctor Cheng intervened, Doctor Lei pushed you away to prevent further assault. It was clearly you who struck first; how dare you y the victim now?"

    You Ran’s lips trembled lightly, and reaching out, he gently grasped thepel of Lei Yang’s white coat, "Let’s leave."

    Lei Yang’s gaze was heavy as he stared at the bloodstain on her forehead. Cheng Youran could see the fury brewing in his eyes. Even doctors have tempers, even doctors have limits, and repeated forbearance only had given the other side more audacity.

    Cheng Youran could sense the emotion in his eyes and, fearing his impulsiveness, she urgently tugged at his white coat. "My head hurts, let’s go, okay?"

    Lei Yang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his rage, feeling a suffocating tightness in his chest, but he knew Cheng Youran’s intentions were well-meaning. He nodded somberly, "Okay, let’s go."

    He supported Cheng Youran as they prepared to leave.

    The middle-aged woman persisted, "You think you can just hit someone and leave? You pushed and jostled a patient’s family member, you’ve caused a conflict, I’m going to sue you, I will sue..."

    "Whoosh—!" A sound cut the middle-aged woman’s voice short.

    Her eyes were wide open; she was drenched from head to toe, reeking of dirty water.

    Unexpected to everyone, a delicate and graceful figure burst through the door, but what she held in her hand was a mop bucket, from which she sloshed a whole bucket of dirty water onto the middle-aged woman’s head.

    Drenching her from head to toe.

    "You... you...!" The middle-aged woman was so angry she could barely speak.

    Su Lu red fiercely at her, "You like to sling mud and nder good people, don’t you? Well, have a taste of your own medicine! How does it feel, huh?! Comfortable?!"

    Everyone present was stunned, including Lei Yang and Cheng Youran.

    Cheng Youran muttered, "Xiaolu... Xiaolu?"

    Su Lu’s gaze was unstoppable as she stared down the middle-aged woman. She wasn’t always so hot-tempered, but deep down, she was fiercely protective. Even when Zhao Tong had treated her poorly, she still couldn’t give up on her brother.

    Now that she was a mother, Su Lu’s protectiveness had be even more pronounced. Seeing the bloody gash on Cheng Youran’s head, her pale face, and the woman’s aggressive tone, Su Lu was furious.

    "How dare you harm my people? Go ahead and sue! If you don’t, you’re a coward! I’ll stand by it to the end!" With a ng, Su Lu threw the now-empty mop bucket at the middle-aged woman, who awkwardly dodged it.

    "You dare talk about justice and thew? I want to see if thew can handle you!" Su Lu stood her ground.

    Despite her slender and delicate stature, which could even be described as petite, she seemed to radiate an unstoppable aura of authority.

    The big-boned middle-aged woman, facing Su Lu’s elegant presence, didn’t dare to make a move, probably afraid that if it came to blows, she wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences. She was well aware of the wealthy clientele of the hospital.

    Cheng Youran didn’t know if it was from shock or thefort of Su Lu’s presence, but she felt warmth in her heart and newfound courage. Her face finally lost the unhealthy pallor it had before.

    She said, "Xiaolu, Xiaolu, let it go, let’s go."

    Su Lu nodded and reached out to tightly grasp her hand, "Are you okay? Your head is bleeding."

    Su Lu’s eyes were slightly red.

    Cheng Youran smiled and shook her head, "I’m fine. Let’s talk outside."

    A line of doctors left the ward, and as they did, Su Lu didn’t forget to point at the woman and shout, "If you don’t sue, you’re a coward!"
