Chapter 1 Counterattack

Chen Xiao frowned.

"Who's barking like a dog?"

He turned his head and saw a thin-faced middle-aged man standing at the door.

The man sported a rather flamboyant goatee.

Chen Xiao recognized him. He was the hospital's vice president, Chang Jingming!

"You little bastard, open your dog eyes and see clearly, this is our Vice President Chang!"

The fat doctor pointed at Chen Xiao and cursed.

Chang Jingming snorted coldly.

"Forget it, no need to say more. We'll hand this black sheep over to the authorities!"

"Letting him stay in the hospital for even a second longer is a desecration to the entire hospital!"

Chen Xiao said calmly,

"I have no objection to you calling the police, but before the matter is investigated, don't try to pin the blame on me!"

"Give me ten minutes, and I'll reveal the truth!"

Chang Jingming looked righteously indignant and shouted loudly,

"Why should I give you ten minutes? What do you think you are?"

"Don't think that just because Dean Hao is protecting you, you can do whatever you want!"

"Let me tell you, this isn't Hao Datong's hospital alone!"

"Security, arrest this man!"

A group of security guards had been waiting outside the door, and upon hearing Chang Jingming's order, they filed in.

Chen Xiao watched the group of people with cold eyes, suddenly sensing a conspiracy.

Just then, a delicate voice shouted, "Stop!"

Song Anran appeared before everyone, her face full of anger.

Chang Jingming said coldly, "Director Song, what do you mean by this?"

Song Anran said, "Vice President Chang, since Chen Xiao wants ten minutes, what harm is there in giving him ten minutes to prove his innocence?"

Chang Jingming gave a fake smile.

"Ten minutes isn't long, indeed. But have you ever thought about whether it's fair to the deceased?"

"Every minute we let a murderer roam free is an insult to the deceased!"

"He wants ten minutes, based on what?"

Chang Jingming spoke plausibly, eliciting a round of applause.

Song Anran didn't back down, confronting him head-on.

"Based on me, Song Anran, is that enough, Vice President Chang!"

"I'm willing to stake my reputation on this. I believe Chen Xiao is innocent!"

Song Anran's words moved Chen Xiao greatly.

In the end, the two didn't have a particularly close relationship.

But at this moment, Song Anran was willing to stand up and help him.

Chen Xiao remembered this favor.

The corners of Chang Jingming's mouth twitched, and he finally sneered.

"Alright, Director Song, I'll give you face today!"

"I'll give him ten minutes. If he can't prove his innocence, Director Song, don't regret it!"

Song Anran glanced coldly at Chang Jingming and walked to Chen Xiao's side.

She whispered, "The Chang guy is at odds with Dean Hao. He's not just targeting you this time, he might also be targeting Dean Hao!"

It seemed that Song Anran, like Chen Xiao, had sensed the conspiracy.

In Chen Xiao's view, everything was too coincidental.

It just so happened that when he went to the outpatient department, the fat doctor had diarrhea.

And it just so happened that at this time, an old woman came for treatment.

This old woman just happened to die under Chen Xiao's medication.

And the fat doctor was clearly in cahoots with Chang Jingming.

This was a trap.

And the key to breaking the trap lay with the deceased!

Chen Xiao had used the Huí Hún Jiu Zhēn (Soul Return Nine Needles) on the deceased.

Chen Xiao wouldn't use this acupuncture technique lightly.

Because this needle technique could move heaven and earth, startling gods and ghosts.

Even if someone was dead, as long as the time of death didn't exceed one hour and the body's organs were intact,

Chen Xiao could snatch the deceased back from the King of Hell.

The Huí Hún Jiu Zhēn (Soul Return Nine Needles) violated the laws of nature.

Even Chen Xiao would suffer backlash from using it.

But at this moment, Chen Xiao couldn't care about so much.

Chang Jingming sneered, not believing that Chen Xiao could revive the dead.

If you looked closely, you would find a hint of smugness in his eyes.

And the surrounding accusations and curses grew louder and louder.

"What is this guy doing? He doesn't think he can bring the dead back to life, does he?"

"Why is he still sticking needles into the corpse? What ridiculous nonsense!"

"You bastard, he's desecrating the body!"

…

Chen Xiao turned a deaf ear to all of this.

No one but himself could disturb his mind.

Finally, Chen Xiao stopped.

At this time, his face was pale and he was covered in sweat.

He looked exhausted, but in reality, he had suffered backlash from the heavens.

Chang Jingming asked sternly, "Boy, have you made enough trouble? What do you have to say for yourself now?"

Chen Xiao pointed to the IV bag and said weakly to Song Anran,

"Director Song, the medicine inside has been switched. I prescribed an anti-inflammatory drug, but take a look at what's in here."

Song Anran looked at it, smelled it, and her expression changed drastically.

"It's aminophylline. Even for young people, let alone an old person this age, an overdose can cause sudden death!"

Chen Xiao nodded, "Yes, my medicine was switched."

The fat doctor shouted like a mad dog, "You say it was switched, so it was switched? Who can prove it?"

Chen Xiao pointed his finger. "She can."

Everyone was shocked, and then furious!

Because Chen Xiao was pointing at the deceased old woman.

Let a dead person prove that his medicine had been switched?

Did he think everyone was stupid!

However, at this moment, Chen Xiao reached out and patted the old woman's body, saying softly,

"Old lady, it's time for you to wake up. Only you can prove my innocence now."

As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, the old woman actually woke up slowly.

Everyone exclaimed, marveling at the miraculous skill.

Then Chen Xiao asked the old woman, "Old lady, do you remember if your medicine was switched?"

The old woman looked dazed, but she could still understand Chen Xiao's words.

She nodded.

Chen Xiao asked again, "Then do you remember who switched the medicine?"

The old woman pointed her finger at the fat doctor and said in a dry voice, "It was him, he switched it for me."

The fat doctor panicked, "Old lady, don't talk nonsense. You must be senile since you're so old!"

At this time, Song Anran said, "Still not admitting it? I'll go check the surveillance footage!"

After a while, Song Anran returned.

She pointed at the fat doctor and scolded,

"Still not admitting it? I saw it clearly on the surveillance footage, it was you who switched the old woman's medicine!"

"You're the one who wanted to kill her!"

The fat doctor was dumbfounded, sweat streaming down his face.

"No, it wasn't me, it wasn't…"

Chen Xiao shouted sternly, "The evidence is conclusive, are you still not admitting it?"

This stern shout completely broke the fat doctor down.

He knelt on the ground with a thud.

"I'm sorry, old lady, I didn't want to hurt you!"

"Director Song, I want to confess, I want to expose him, it was all him, Chang Jingming, who instructed me to do it!"

Chang Jingming was trembling with anger.

He gritted his teeth and cursed,

"You idiot, I told you a long time ago that I would take care of the surveillance video. You were tricked!"
