The temptation behind gentleness
Chapter 20 - 20 The Tables Turned
Blood flowed out, and he placed the wound at the little girl's mouth. As blood poured into her mouth, her originally pale complexion began to show a hint of red.
"It's working!"
Su Fan was instantly overjoyed.
He suffered from a condition known as "Red Sun", and since his childhood, his grandfather had soaked him in medicinal baths concocted from various herbs. One could say he had become a "man of medicine", and especially his blood was truly a great tonic. Before his grandfather passed away, he had cautioned him never to let anyone know about this, warning that his life would be worse than death if it was discovered. But now, with a life at stake, he couldn't care about that anymore.
...
Before long, the police arrived.
The officer leading the team was a woman with an authoritative air and a striking presence, and her figure was so stunning it instantly caught the eye.
Some of the men couldn't take their eyes off her.
"Chief Li, you're finally here! Someone has taken a seriously ill child hostage. It's despicable."
"Yes, making trouble in our hospital, we must arrest and bring them to justice."
Under the lead of Director Zhang, the hospital staff threw various slanderous accusations at Su Fan.
Bai Man stood by, stupefied, feeling utterly devastated.
If the little girl died, not only would her position as deputy director be in jeopardy, but her medical career would also be tarnished with a dark history. Even with her family connections, it would be difficult for her to be promoted again.
"Despicable..."
In her heart, she cursed Su Fan's ancestors for eighteen generations.
"Creak."
At that moment, the locked door to the ward opened.
Su Fan, pale-faced and bloodless, staggered out with barely any strength left, looking extremely weak.
Chief Li immediately gestured with her hand.
"Arrest the kidnapper."
Then two police officers quickly rushed forward and pinned Su Fan to the ground, one on each side.
Exhausted, Su Fan had no energy to resist and was at their mercy.
"Kid, you dare to kidnap a child in my jurisdiction? Have you had enough of living?"
Li Jing looked down at Su Fan on the ground with cold, disdainful eyes.
Su Fan became frantic.
"I, I haven't kidnapped any child. I'm trying to save a life. These incompetent doctors lacking medical ethics would watch a patient die. I, I was just trying to do the right thing."
"You, you don't distinguish right from wrong, good from evil. What kind of police are you?"
The normally assertive Li Jing exploded with anger upon hearing Su Fan's words.
"Dare to provoke me? Take him away..."
"Don't, officer, you've got it wrong. He, he was saving my daughter, he, he's not a bad person," cried the little girl's mother, spreading her arms to shield Su Fan and defending him.
The patients who had been onlooking then also stood up and defended Su Fan.
"He's a good person, let him go, let him go..."
As patients themselves, they understood the despair of facing death with doctors unwilling to lend a hand. In their eyes, Su Fan was a true good doctor.
"Director Zhang, what exactly is going on here?"
Li Jing, feeling the tide shift against her, turned her questioning gaze toward Zhang Haitao.
Zhang Haitao, unblushing and unflinching, stared sharply at Su Fan on the ground and said with a sneer.
"Save her, when even our hospital's specialists can't? What could you, an intern, possibly do?"
"You've merely hastened the little girl's death."
"No matter what, the little girl died at your hands. You're a murderer."
"Right, a murderer. You're a murderer."
"Thinking you're another Bian Que or Hua Tuo reincarnated, how laughable."
A group of doctors in white coats ridiculed Su Fan.
Su Fan became even more anxious and angry.
"Waah waah waah..."
Just then...
"Ow, mommy, it hurts..."
A cry, like thunder, exploded in everyone's ears.
