"You..."
Dong Chen pointed at Xia Ming, but couldn't utter a single word.
Xia Ming had the workers leave first, then closed the office door.
"Dong Chen, I haven't forgotten what your son did to my daughter back then!"
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, you'll never get back on your feet in this lifetime."
After enduring it so many times, this was the first time Xia Ming dared to speak such harsh words to Dong Chen.
"Oh, and about your son's job at the National Medical Hall, I just had HR notify him. He seems to have quite a few patient disputes. For the reputation of the National Medical Hall, I've already contacted the largest media outlet in the country to announce his dismissal." Xia Ming said casually.
"What? Xia Ming, I beg you, don't do this. If you want revenge, take it out on me. It has nothing to do with my son! If you make such a big deal out of this, how will he live his life? What other institution in the country would want him?"
"Heh heh... Dong Chen, you know you're wrong now. What your son did to my son back then, and what he did to my daughter recently, do you think I'll forgive you?" Xia Ming looked at him, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
Dong Chen was stunned.
"Xia Ming, don't talk nonsense. Your son's incident was an accident, and it has nothing to do with my son. Don't think you can frame him for this." Dong Chen said somewhat guiltily.
"Do you think I don't know? Your son and my son were both present at that accident. In the end, your son was unharmed, but my son had an accident. Do you think I wouldn't suspect anything?"
"I'm telling you, when my son was brought back, in his last moment of consciousness, he desperately told me that your son harmed him."
"I don't know the whole story, but I believe he wouldn't lie."
"Dong Chen, your family must pay the price for this!" Xia Ming said fiercely.
At this point, Dong Chen panicked.
He knew about this matter, of course.
However, all the evidence from that accident was destroyed in a fire. He knew there would be no proof, and at the time, Xia's eldest son was clearly not going to wake up, so he hadn't admitted anything.
He never expected Xia Ming to know!
If Xia Ming found any evidence, it wouldn't just be unemployment, but even imprisonment.
"Xia Ming, don't talk nonsense. You got lucky, but that doesn't mean you can slander my son as you please!"
Seeing Dong Chen still arguing, Xia Ming sneered.
"I know you won't admit it. You've probably destroyed most of the evidence, right? Unfortunately, you forgot one crucial piece of evidence!"
"My son woke up."
"What? How is that possible?" Dong Chen was bewildered.
He was very clear that with the condition of Xia's eldest son, there was no hope of waking up.
"Surprised? Blame yourself for offending a divine doctor."
"Lin Xiao Tian!" Dong Chen slumped onto the chair.
"You don't have much time. In a few days, we'll be meeting in court." Xia Ming said, then left潇洒ly, leaving Dong Chen alone in the office.
The office was silent.
For the first time in his life, Dong Chen felt utterly exhausted.
He dialed Dong Lin, but only heard a torrent of complaints.
"Father, these people have gone mad! They said they're firing me. Father, you can't just ignore this! Father... Father?"
Dong Lin kept pouring out his grievances and curses on the phone, but Dong Chen was too tired to even reply.
Three days later, the Xia family officially took over the National Medical Hall.
At the same time, the prosecutor's office took away the Dong father and son.
Dong Chen had done everything flawlessly, but he had forgotten about his foolish son.
The police simply stated that they had found sufficient evidence, and Dong Lin confessed everything, even implicating his father.
As he was being taken away, Dong Chen was completely despairing.
And with the father and son's removal, the Dong family was completely removed from the list of prominent families.
Lin Xiao Tian watched the news reports and sighed.
When Dong Lin had come to apologize to him before, he hadn't expressed any stance, nor had he told the Lin family to retaliate against Dong Lin, as he had just dealt with Cao Yun Tian and didn't want too much trouble.
He hadn't expected the Lin family to take the initiative, forcing the Dong family out of the game.
Was this the power of a reclusive family?
A family that had existed for hundreds of years was, in their eyes, merely a lamb to be slaughtered, disappearing with a mere thought.
However, the facts proved that Dong Lin indeed deserved it.
Lin Xiao Tian received a request from the Xia family to treat Xia's eldest son. After the treatment, Lin Xiao Tian finally learned about the good deeds Dong Lin had done.
Xia's eldest son was named Xia Yu. Like Xia Qing Ling, he was also very outstanding. He and Dong Lin had some acquaintance, and they were close friends who grew up together.
But during a business negotiation, they were attacked. The attackers were after Dong Lin because he had accidentally prescribed the wrong medicine while treating a patient, leading to the patient's condition worsening and eventually death.
Xia Yu, born with a strong sense of justice, tried to mediate when he saw Dong Lin in danger.
In the end, seeing no other option, they spotted an abandoned old house and were about to run into it. However, Xia Yu didn't expect Dong Lin to close the door first before he could even enter.
The deceased's family wanted to kill Dong Lin and didn't intend to harm Xia Yu, but Xia Yu tried to calm them down, and was accidentally stabbed.
Xia Yu then fell to the ground. Seeing that Dong Lin refused to open the door, the deceased's family decided to set the entire old house on fire.
At this time, Xia Yu was just separated from Dong Lin by a door. Although Dong Lin's medical skills were not as good, he could perform emergency first aid on Xia Yu.
But Dong Lin was scared and left Xia Yu groaning outside, remaining completely indifferent.
Finally, the old house caught fire, and the deceased's family also died inside. However, Dong Lin managed to survive by chance, having seen a gas mask in the room.
Afterwards, to cover up his mistakes, he and Dong Chen colluded to falsify the scene and even manipulated Xia Yu's body to create the illusion that Xia Yu had already been in a coma at the time.
Dong Lin then lied, saying that Xia Yu had asked him to stay in the room for his own safety while he went out to deal with the thug, and that he had tried to dissuade him, but to no avail.
To ensure Xia Yu would never speak again, Dong Chen used his power to secretly inject Xia Yu with drugs, rendering him a perpetual vegetative state.
Unfortunately for them, they didn't expect Lin Xiao Tian to wake Xia Yu up.
Now, the reputation of the father and son was completely ruined. Dong Chen would never be released from prison. Dong Lin might have a chance to get out, but he would never be able to practice medicine again.
