The two finally snapped out of their shock, shaking their heads in panic.
They had never offended Da Xiong before, and certainly didn't understand why he had summoned them.
"Chen Fan is my elder brother. Now do you know why I was looking for you?" Da Xiong said calmly, putting down the fruit plate in his hand.
"What?!"
Hearing Da Xiong's words, Tian Yu and Wang Yudong's eyes widened instantly.
They were even more surprised than if they hadn't known this person was Da Xiong. They had never imagined that Chen Fan would be Da Xiong's elder brother!
The two supported each other, almost falling off the sofa to the ground.
Tian Yu explained in panic, "Brother Xiong, Brother Xiong, this has nothing to do with us. It was all Lian Wenxin's idea."
"Oh? Is that so?" Da Xiong retorted.
"Yes, yes, it was all Lian Wenxin. I can vouch for that!" Wang Yudong quickly agreed.
Tian Yu looked wronged, wiped away tears, and said again, "Director Chen even cured Director Wang's illness before. I even invited Director Chen and his group to dinner. We have no grudges, so how could I harm Director Chen? This was all Lian Wenxin's idea. We were deceived by Lian Wenxin!"
"It seems I've wronged you." Da Xiong sneered.
"Brother Xiong, this matter really has nothing to do with us. You are discerning. If you bring Lian Wenxin here, we can confront him face-to-face," Tian Yu said with certainty.
"Bang!"
Just then, the private room door was pushed open.
An indignant voice came from outside the door: "No need to wait, I'm already here! You two shameless wretches, it was clearly your idea, and now you dare to frame me!"
Then, two figures walked into the private room one after another.
"Lian Wenxin?" The two were stunned, not expecting Lian Wenxin to actually show up at this time.
Tian Yu and Wang Yudong exchanged glances, then pointed at Lian Wenxin and said, "Lian Wenxin, stop slandering us! It was you who framed Director Chen."
"Yes, it was your idea, otherwise how could Director Chen have come to our Third Hospital to assist?"
"You, you!" Lian Wenxin was so angered by their synchronized accusations that his chest heaved violently.
Just yesterday, the three of them had been drinking together and talking all night, as close as brothers born of the same parents. But to his surprise, in the blink of an eye, the two had completely turned on him.
Lian Wenxin quickly looked at Chen Fan behind him: "Director Chen, this really has nothing to do with me. It was them. They invited me for drinks and said they had a way to ruin your reputation."
"Slap!"
As Lian Wenxin spoke, he slapped himself and said with deep regret, "Director Chen, it's my fault, it's my fault for being too envious and jealous of your talent. I shouldn't have listened to them. I just passed on a message for you. I really didn't intend to harm you!"
Looking at the scene of the three biting each other, Chen Fan remained calm and did not speak.
"Brother Fan." At this moment, Da Xiong also stood up and stood respectfully behind Chen Fan.
Seeing this, Tian Yu and Wang Yudong became even more flustered. Now they were certain that Da Xiong had not been joking earlier.
Chen Fan walked slowly forward and stood in front of Tian Yu and Wang Yudong, looking down at them with a calm expression.
Seeing this, Tian Yu and Wang Yudong dared not sit on the sofa any longer, feeling as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
They got up from the sofa and stood before Chen Fan with extreme deference.
"Do you know why I asked Da Xiong to find you today?" Chen Fan finally spoke.
The two exchanged glances, and Tian Yu quickly nodded, "Y-yes, because you were troubled today."
Chen Fan shook his head.
Tian Yu looked bewildered and tentatively asked again, "Is it because we offended you last time?"
Chen Fan still shook his head.
Tian Yu and Wang Yudong were completely confused. They had only met Chen Fan twice before, and this was the third time. They hadn't provoked Chen Fan a third time.
A cold glint flashed in Chen Fan's eyes, and he spoke again, "As doctors, you used patients' lives to achieve your own goals. Do you think you are still worthy of the title 'doctor'?"
Tian Yu and Wang Yudong's expressions stiffened, and they hastily explained, "Director Chen, that patient's condition was already very serious."
"Hmph, serious? So that's your excuse for abandoning his life to achieve your own goals? As doctors, saving lives and helping the injured is your duty. You have no right to extinguish a life!" Chen Fan's expression grew colder.
Tian Yu was rendered speechless.
Lian Wenxin, standing behind Chen Fan, quickly chimed in, "Yes, Director Chen is right. If you hadn't instigated me back then and told me there was a dying person whose life could be used to frame Director Chen, I wouldn't have asked Director Chen to come to your Third Hospital to assist with surgery."
Tian Yu and Wang Yudong turned pale and quickly apologized to Chen Fan, "Director Chen, we truly know we were wrong. Please, just give us one chance. After all, Mr. Luo didn't suffer any harm."
Chen Fan sneered. He had no intention of letting the two men go. After doing such a thing, they were not fit to be doctors at all.
He glanced at Da Xiong: "Take them down, make them write down everything they've done in the past few years, report them to the relevant departments, and strip them of their titles."
Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, Tian Yu and Wang Yudong's eyes widened.
Tian Yu had just taken office as vice-director, and his position was still unstable. How could he leave just like that!
Forgetting his dignity, Tian Yu fell to his knees before Chen Fan with a "plop!" "Director Chen, I truly know I was wrong. I will be a good doctor from now on, and I will treat every patient well. Mr. Chen, please! If I lose this title, how will my whole family survive?"
Wang Yudong also knelt on the ground with a pale face, "Director Chen, we truly know we were wrong. We shouldn't have disregarded human lives and plotted against you!"
Chen Fan sneered, "Giving you a chance? That would be irresponsible to the patients. You are not fit to be doctors."
"What are you waiting for? Take these two dogs out," Da Xiong's voice rang out again.
"Brother Xiong, what if they don't talk?" asked a burly man.
"Don't talk? Then break their hands and feet. Didn't Brother Fan say it? They are not fit to be doctors. As long as they can't work in the future, that's enough," Da Xiong replied coldly.
Instantly, Tian Yu and Wang Yudong were so terrified that they wet themselves. They were dragged out of the private room by several men.
"These people disregarded human lives and are not fit to be doctors. Director Chen, you did the right thing!" Seeing the two being dragged away, Lian Wenxin quickly gave Chen Fan a thumbs-up.
However, Chen Fan's gaze fell on Lian Wenxin: "Vice-Director Lian, now, it's time for us to talk about our previous matters, isn't it?"
At these words, Lian Wenxin trembled all over, and cold sweat instantly streamed down his forehead.
