"Forget it, you didn't do it on purpose."

The girl generously forgave Su Fan, while expressing her concerns worriedly.

"Right now, the dean, Director Bai, and other hospital leaders are in a meeting to discuss your issue. You talked back to the dean, so I guess there's no way you can stay in the hospital any longer."

Su Fan responded without hesitation.

"Let them do as they please. As a doctor, I just can't stand by and watch a patient die right in front of me. Even if they drive me away, I won't regret it."

At that moment, hurried footsteps and loud arguments could be heard from the hallway outside.

The door was then pushed open immediately after.

"Click, click, click..."

As soon as they entered, a flurry of flashbulbs fired nonstop at Su Fan, while Luo Ya was pushed into a corner by the crowd.

"Hello, I'm a reporter from the Yang City Daily. I'd like to interview you,"

"I'm the host from Yang City Television..."

"Hello, everyone. We are live now. Lying on the hospital bed here is our Solitary Doctor. Let's hear what he has to say..."

A group of people reached out their microphones towards Su Fan.

What's going on?

"Are you the Divine Doctor who saved the critically injured little girl from the car accident?"

"I, I did save a child, but, I, I wouldn't call myself a Divine Doctor..." Su Fan, who hadn't seen such a spectacle before, blushed with embarrassment.

"I heard that the little girl had already been declared dead by experts, and you were just an intern who dared to take a risk to save her. Did you ever think that if you couldn't bring her back, your career would be completely ruined?"

"I, at that time, I didn't think too much. I only knew that I'm a doctor and saving lives and aiding the injured is my sworn duty."

"Well said, our medical system today needs young people like you."

At this moment, the hospital leaders rushed in, led naturally by the dean, Zhang Haitao, with Bai Man and Liu Ye following behind.

Zhang Haitao had a face full of "proud" smiles, while also clapping vigorously.

He then walked over to Su Fan's bed and gently patted his shoulder.

"Su Fan, you did a great job with this incident, truly worthy of being a doctor at our city hospital. We are all proud of you."

"Make sure to rest well. If you face any difficulties, tell me in time. If you feel wronged, I will personally stand up for you."

Zhang Haitao exhibited a posture of righteous passion, leaving Su Fan momentarily dumbfounded.

Luo Ya had just told him that Zhang Haitao was in a meeting to discuss firing him, so why the sudden change...

Oh...

Seeing the group of reporters, Su Fan quickly understood.

This incident had been leaked to the public, attracting a lot of media. In this era, public opinion is a formidable force, which forced Chen Haitao to change his attitude.

He understood really well that even with the support of public opinion, he, a minor figure, could not truly shake Zhang Haitao, the head of the city hospital. He still had to continue to play the underdog and develop in stealth.

"Dean Zhang, why did I hear that you were initially stopping the Divine Doctor from saving the person?"

"Moreover, in the meeting just now, you claimed you were going to revoke the Divine Doctor's intern credentials?"

A female reporter aggressively confronted Zhang Haitao.

Zhang Haitao's face reddened, and he was furious inside, but as an old hand, he quickly responded with feigned outrage.

"Nonsense."

"As a doctor with thirty years of experience, I've always considered treating illnesses and saving lives as my sworn duty. How could I possibly stop anyone from saving lives?"

"How do you explain the videos online then?"

"And about that meeting earlier..."

The female reporter pressed him.

Zhang Haitao wanted to explode, but facing the many cameras, he knew the consequences of losing his temper.

"It's all a misunderstanding," Zhang Haitao explained calmly.

"Those videos online are maliciously edited. I did stop Su Fan briefly because I'm protective of talents and was worried that his failure might get him into trouble. My original intention was to step in personally."

"As for the meeting earlier, we were discussing how to commend Su Fan."

"Right."

At this point, the head of obstetrics, Liu Ye, stepped forward.

"In the meeting earlier, Dean Zhang had personally decided to end Su Fan's internship early and turn him into a full-fledged doctor at our hospital."

"What?"

As Liu Ye spoke, people were shocked.

Zhang Haitao's expression also stiffened for a moment.

Dammit, just seeing Su Fan irks him. If it weren't for Su Fan, would he have embarrassed himself before, or be roasted over the fire now?

Keeping Su Fan might bring him continuous displeasure.

Sitting on the hospital bed, Su Fan looked deeply at Liu Ye.

Although he didn't know much about Zhang Haitao, from their previous confrontations, Su Fan understood that Chen Haitao would definitely not let him off easily, let alone promote him directly.

Liu Ye speaking out at this moment was like checkmating Zhang Haitao, and it was a big favor to him.

But why would she help him?

Could it be she was lusting after him?

The next moment, Su Fan felt a chill run down his spine as a venomous glare fixed on him.
