Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Gu Tong ran desperately down the hospital corridor.

Li Yan, the man she both loved and hated, appeared in her eyes once again...

His face was angular and exuded a cold sharpness, with thick sword-like eyebrows, thin lips, wearing an Army Academy uniform with a flashing medal on his shoulder, the symbol of an Earl’s medal!

”Who is the attending doctor of Room 201? Are the ten critically ill patients just left unattended here?” Just standing there, he was enough to instill fear in people.

Li Yan was the youngest Earl in Pinnacle Academy, known among trainees as the Devil King. He was ruthless and extremely protective, a presence many feared.

In Room 201, the majority of the patients were trainees from Li Yan’s group, seriously injured but did not receive the necessary treatment. Normally, the attending doctor would slack off, but today they triggered Li Yan’s wrath, and everyone unanimously believed that the attending doctor was doomed.

...

A puzzled voice from an intern among the onlookers in the hallway said, ”Isn’t this ward Gu Tong’s responsibility? Did she skip work again...”

”Isn’t she the one with connections? How did she even get admitted...”

”I heard she’s a top student from the First Royal Medical College, probably just making things up...” The other interns were buzzing with gossip.

...

The same exact scene played out again.

The absent-minded Gu Tong was suddenly pulled back to reality as if waking from a dream.

This incident was the catalyst for her first argument with Li Yan...

”Gu Tong?” Mentioning his new wife’s name, Li Yan’s sword-like brows angled impressively upwards.

Gu Tong felt a tremor in her chest, an inexplicable sensation sweeping over her, like a dream...

”Is there no longer any upper-level notification for reassigning wards now?” She forcibly regained her composure, and her calm voice echoed through the second-floor corridor.

The petite intern under the white coat stood firmly, as if she were the owner of the place.

The once talkative royal doctors among the interns immediately fell silent.

Li Yan said in a low voice, ”Who is in charge of this ward? Step forward immediately!”

It was clearly a question, but to those with intentions, it sounded more like protection.

”Cousin, don’t listen to Gu Tong, she’s deceiving you.” Zhang Wenjing, the originator of the slanders against Gu Tong, and also Li Yan’s cousin, finally couldn’t help herself and said, ”She’s in charge of this ward. She was just lazing around, afraid of being blamed, so she’s lying. She...”

”Where is the diagnosis report?” Gu Tong interrupted her directly, saying, ”If the words are unrelated to treatment, please say them outside. Battlefield treatment is a race against time. You, you, and you, follow me to handle the patients.”

The interns pointed out by Gu Tong nodded dumbly, feeling she was like a seasoned doctor at the hospital.

Zhang Wenjing bit down hard on her silver tooth, but didn’t expect Gu Tong not to respond, saying, ”Still claim you’re not the doctor of Room 201—then why are you handling the patients in this ward?” She seemed to have caught a loophole, eager to expose Gu Tong’s lie.

Gu Tong walked toward the ward with a calm demeanor, saying lightly, ”Saving lives is a doctor’s duty. Is a patient who isn’t in your charge not to be treated?” Her words were as firm as the strongest argument, almost choking Zhang Wenjing.

The interns who were initially paralyzed suddenly snapped back to their senses, hurriedly following Gu Tong into the ward in a rush.

This series of events was like a slap across Zhang Wenjing’s face, nearly causing her to jump in anger. When did this Gu Tong become so smart? Wasn’t she supposed to be the kind of spoiled girl that would explode with a slight provocation?
