Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 819: Chapter 818: What Illness Can You Treat Without Paying?

The captain came out, patted Zhao Ping’an on the shoulder, and smiled, ”Ping’an, don’t worry anymore. We’ve decided to let Sister Li recuperate in the hospital. The investigation can wait. You go ahead and take care of your things; we’ll have someone here to watch over her!”

Zhao Ping’an hadn’t expected Hu Wannian to act so swiftly. It wasn’t even three minutes after his call, and Hu had everything arranged. Such was the power of the large families. After the Wu Family fell, the Hu Family had become the true leading family in Liuan City!

”Thank you, Uncle!” Zhao Ping’an nodded and said to Li Chunhua beside him, ”Mom, you should rest a bit. Get treated properly and don’t worry about other things!”

Li Chunhua didn’t know exactly what had happened, but her face was still full of worry, ”Ping’an, remember to take your younger brother and sister away later. Don’t worry about me; Mom will be fine. Take them as far away as possible. You’re the older brother; you have to look after them!”

”I know!” Zhao Ping’an nodded, ”Mom, be assured, nothing will happen.”

Li Chunhua, with a tearful tone, said, ”Ping’an, I know what you’re like, and don’t you do anything foolish. Listen to Mom, we can’t fight with them; you have to take good care of your younger brother and sister, understand?”

”I know!” Zhao Ping’an escorted his mother into the ward and then explained the situation to the captain, asking him to help take care of her.

Afterward, Zhao Ping’an left the ward and headed straight downstairs. He had to resolve this incident properly.

Just as he reached the hospital lobby, he heard a young man saying, ”My dad is so badly hurt, can’t you bandage him up first? My brother has gone to get money, and he’ll be here soon, we will pay shortly. Just help bandage my dad first, please, I’m begging you...”

Zhao Ping’an turned to look and saw a young man imploring a doctor in a white coat, his face flushed as he pleaded.

He knew the young man; he was a neighbor living not far from his home, named Xu Cheng, and Zhao Ping’an had a decent relationship with him. The elderly man who had previously spoken up for Li Chunhua was his father. Their family of three had been brutally beaten by Li Ling’s people and had also ended up in the hospital.

The Xu family was also quite poor. Xu Cheng was twenty-eight this year and had a girlfriend but no money to get married. His brother was even worse off; at thirty-three, he didn’t even have a partner. Both of them worked labor-intensive jobs on construction sites. Because their mother was seriously ill, all the money they earned was spent on her.

”Don’t waste my time!” the doctor said impatiently, ”Pay first, then receive treatment—that’s the hospital’s rule. If you have money, go pay the fee and register, then wait for treatment. If you don’t have money, get lost. I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you!”

”We’re not without money; it’s just that we didn’t bring enough with us...” Xu Cheng said awkwardly, ”Look at my dad, his head is still bleeding. Could you just bandage him up first? My brother will be right back...”

”Why should I bandage him first? You haven’t even paid the fee yet, and you want me to bandage him? Don’t you know that after paying, you still have to register and wait your turn?” The doctor glared.

”No, it’s just that I saw someone who didn’t even have a number and you... you already treated him...” Xu Cheng mentioned.

The doctor grew angry, ”Nonsense! Can that be the same? Can you compare with him? He’s a leader from the Health Bureau; what are you?”

Xu Cheng was utterly confused and indignant, ”So leaders from the Health Bureau get to see the doctor first? My... my dad is injured like this, bleeding and close to fainting; you’re free yet unwilling to just help bandage him up. What kind of doctors are you...”

”How dare you speak like that? Hey, what kind of person talks like that?” The medical angrily retorted, ”What attitude is this? I don’t bandage your dad, and it’s my fault? The way you’re putting it, you’re right not to pay or register, and I should be climbing over myself to treat you?”

Xu Cheng, who was also quite straightforward, became furious, ”What did I say that was incorrect? A doctor should care like a parent; you see a patient bleeding non-stop, standing right here doing nothing, insisting I pay and register first—is this how you handle things? Are you really doctors or just bloodsucking vampires that want money?”

”You still dare to curse people, and you want to make trouble, don’t you?” the doctor roared in anger, ”I’m telling you, get the hell out of here; we’re not treating you anymore!”

As he spoke, the doctor reached out to push Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng, not one to show weakness, tore the doctor’s hands away and retorted angrily, ”We’re not leaving. Is this your hospital? Just because you say we should leave, we should go?”

”Oh, you want to resist?” the doctor bellowed, ”Go, call the security department and tell them someone is beating up the doctors in the hospital!”

”Hey, how can you frame someone like this...” Xu Cheng got anxious.

The doctor didn’t pay any attention, and a nurse hurried off to the side. Before long, a group from the security department arrived.

Leading them was a man with a face full of flesh, wearing his security uniform carelessly, resembling more of a thug.

The burly man grabbed Xu Cheng’s collar the moment he arrived and cursed, ”So it’s fucking you stirring up trouble in the hospital? Take a good look at yourself, do you think this is a place where you can make a scene?”

Xu Cheng, always stubborn, immediately snapped back, ”Speak properly, don’t grab my clothes...”

”What the fuck if I grab your clothes? I dare to hit you, too!” The burly man said, and with a swing of his hand, he slapped towards Xu Cheng’s face.

Xu Cheng blocked with his hand and angrily said, ”I’m telling you, talk it out, don’t get physical...”

”Who the fuck wants to talk to you!” The burly man threw Xu Cheng’s hand aside and shouted, ”Beat him up!”

Several men with the same thuggish demeanor rushed up, surrounding Xu Cheng and began to beat him with a flurry of punches and kicks.

Xu Cheng’s father sat in the distance and started to shout anxiously upon seeing this, ”Don’t hit him, don’t hit, Chengzi, run quick...”

”Think you can run?” the doctor said with a smug face, ”Daring to make trouble in the hospital? Are you tired of living? Let me tell you, if we don’t discipline you thoroughly today, other people will start treating our hospital like a public toilet, coming and going as they please. Hit him, hit him hard. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility!”

The security guards were even more energized, striking even harder.

Just then, a furious roar came, ”Stop!”

Everyone was startled and turned their heads to look, only to see Zhao Ping’an running towards them with long strides.

Seeing that Zhao Ping’an was dressed very plainly, they naturally didn’t take him seriously. The burly man pointed at Zhao Ping’an, who charged up to him, and scoffed, ”Who the fuck are you to speak here...”

Before the burly man could finish, Zhao Ping’an was already in front of him. He grabbed the burly man’s neck and lifted the man, who weighed over 180 kilos, off the ground and slammed him onto the floor. The burly man vomited blood on the spot and collapsed, limp on the ground!
