Director Lü was startled by the words and looked at Chen Xiao incredulously, "You are that surnamed Chen?"
After a moment of panic, Director Lü regained his composure and sneered, "So what if it's you? Chu Luo, your patron has been fired. As for your patron's patron, Hao Datong, I'm not afraid to tell you that Hao Datong isn't even retirement age."
"The only reason he retired early was to make way for Dean Shen. Chu Luo, a wise man knows when to adapt. Now, you should be clear about who is in charge here!"
Director Lü pointed at the ground, his demeanor incredibly arrogant.
Chen Xiao was speechless and said coldly, "Just a small hospital director, and you're acting so proud. Anyone who didn't know would think you were the head of state of some country!"
Chu Luo sneered even more, "The only reason I'm willing to stay at Jiangcheng Hospital is for Brother Chen's sake. Ever since Shen Hui arrived, he's turned the hospital into a mess. I've wanted to leave for a long time! Do you really think you're so great?"
Chu Luo was the esteemed master of Medicine King Valley. Although Medicine King Valley was a mere shadow of its former self, its industries were still in the Chu family's hands.
A single pharmaceutical factory was worth over a hundred billion yuan.
Of course, a pharmaceutical factory couldn't be compared to a hospital. If they could be compared, the scale of the pharmaceutical factory would be many times larger than Jiangcheng Hospital.
Chu Luo was willing to stay at a small hospital as an ordinary doctor, not only because he liked the profession but entirely for Chen Xiao's sake. How could he be intimidated by a mere department director?
"You, you, you... you're completely out of line!"
Director Lü glared at him, his face red with anger, "You brat, get out! Get out of here right now!"
"Fine, I'm leaving. I've been tired of serving for a long time!"
Chu Luo took off his white coat and threw it directly in Director Lü's face.
"Brother Chen, let's go!"
Chu Luo said indignantly.
Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "When did I say we were leaving? We're not the ones who should leave. Director Lü, right? Let me ask you, why didn't you let Chu Luo treat this young patient just now? What's going on behind the scenes?"
"Why should I tell you?"
Director Lü shouted, "You think I'll tell you just because you ask? What do you think you are?"
Chen Xiao smiled, "If you don't tell me, do you believe I'll kill you?"
"Are you crazy?"
Director Lü looked at Chen Xiao with an incredulous gaze. Threatening someone with such words? This kid's brain must be a bit off, right?
In his opinion, the animosity between them had not escalated to a life-or-death situation.
Chu Luo, however, knew that Chen Xiao was not joking.
"Hey, surnamed Lü, I advise you to tell Brother Chen everything you know, otherwise, tsk tsk tsk..."
Chu Luo looked at Director Lü with a mocking smile, his gaze filled with pity.
"Otherwise what? He'll really kill me, won't he?"
Director Lü sneered, "Who do you think you are? You can kill people just because you say so? What kind of place do you think this is? I'm putting it out there today: I won't say anything, and let's see what you can do to me..."
*Poof—*
As Director Lü spewed saliva, Chen Xiao slapped him. Director Lü's thin body instantly turned into a mist of blood.
Chu Luo swallowed his saliva. He had been living like an ordinary person for too long. Chen Xiao's personality of killing people at the slightest disagreement was something he still found hard to adjust to.
"He wouldn't let me treat the young patient, probably on Shen Hui's orders... Hmm, the patient's mother should be in the dean's office now."
Chu Luo explained, adding at the end, "She's a very beautiful young woman."
Chen Xiao understood immediately, "Alright, I get it. I'll go find him in his office now."
"Okay."
Chu Luo nodded, not saying he would go with Chen Xiao.
After all, a mere small dean wasn't worth so many people going.
Chen Xiao arrived outside the dean's office. Due to his divine sense, everything happening inside the office was clear to him.
This new dean was young, only in his thirties.
Large bags under his eyes and dark circles indicated his lecherous nature.
Opposite him sat a timid young woman, presumably the patient's mother.
As Chu Luo had said, the young woman was still charming, even without makeup. She had a simple, unadorned beauty that carried a different kind of allure.
It was the kind of vulnerable woman whose suffering would bring pleasure to a man.
Shen Hui, it seemed, had taken a liking to this aspect of her. His lecherous eyes were fixed on the young woman, almost drooling.
When Chen Xiao arrived, the young woman, overcome with emotion, fell to her knees before Shen Hui.
"Dean Shen, I beg you, Xiao Jie's condition can't be delayed any longer. If he doesn't have surgery soon, Xiao Jie, Xiao Jie... he might not make it through tonight..."
The young woman's eyes welled up with tears, her mind solely focused on her child's condition.
She clearly didn't know that her child's illness had already been cured by Chu Luo.
Shen Hui scrutinized the young woman with a sanctimonious air, "Sister Wang, your child's condition isn't as serious as you think. Of course, surgery is necessary. However, this hospital is not a charity. If the surgical fees aren't paid, your kneeling and kowtowing won't help, will it?"
"Dean Shen, I beg you. As a widow with a child, we really can't afford the surgical fees. Please be merciful and arrange for the doctor to perform the surgery first. I'll pay the fees in installments later. What do you think?"
The young woman pleaded.
"Installment payments for surgical fees? Are you buying a car or a house? Sister Wang, this is a hospital, not a real estate developer!"
Shen Hui said with a lecherous grin, "However, if you put it that way, there might be a solution."
"Dean Shen, please show me the way. Xiao Jie and I will be eternally grateful for your kindness. We'll remember it forever!"
The young woman's eyes lit up, filled with hope.
"Heh heh, actually, it's not a difficult thing for you."
As he spoke, Shen Hui walked over to the young woman.
The young woman was still kneeling on the ground, and the distance and position between them were perfectly aligned.
"Dean Shen, what, what exactly do you want me to do? Please tell me."
The young woman had a bad premonition and dared not meet Shen Hui's gaze.
"I've already said, it's very simple."
With that, Shen Hui suddenly unbuckled his belt. "If you take the initiative and make me comfortable, I'll immediately arrange for your son's surgery!"
