Fu Kaiyuan had not yet finished speaking when he emphatically began to say, "Xiao Yifei is not without prior offenses! As far as I know, he accomplished nothing in the emergency room, but still, rumors praising Xiao Yifei as a ’Divine Doctor’ have been circulating! Xiao Yifei has always wanted to boost his reputation, but I don’t know why, but I can assure you! Xiao Yifei’s heart deserves to be condemned!"
He pointed his finger viciously at Xiao Yifei, "Such a doctor, lacking medical ethics, with ill intentions! He must have colluded with that patient to deceive our hospital’s inspection! He wanted to use this opportunity to become famous! But he didn’t expect that lupus, an incurable disease, how could it possibly be cured by such a hypocrite!"
Xiao Yifei looked at Fu Kaiyuan, he smiled slightly and was just about to speak, but Nangong Yun spoke before him. Nangong Yun picked up the microphone and, with a face like frost, looked at Fu Kaiyuan and said, "Didn’t you see the entourage of the patient who came yesterday? Lou Nanfu, the Head of Yanjing’s Health Department, personally accompanied him. If Xiao Yifei had that kind of strength, why would he deceive people? Furthermore, Director Ma, you said that Jin Zhuang was forced off by Xiao Yifei because he had offended him. Does Xiao Yifei have the power now to just push a resident doctor out? Is he capable of that?"
Nangong Yun’s successive probing questions left Fu Kaiyuan somewhat speechless. But after thinking for a moment, Fu Kaiyuan spoke again, even becoming somewhat irrational, "I don’t care about what you said; Xiao Yifei is a fraudster, he loves to deceive people. Maybe he deceived the patient who came yesterday, and they jointly put on a show!"
At that moment, Li Entang, sitting on the dais, also slowly spoke, "Vice President Nangong, you should not continue to be biased towards Xiao Yifei. We all know what kind of person Doctor Xiao Yifei is, a completely useless, low-skilled physician. If it weren’t for looking out for you, how could we have let him become official? We had hoped he would improve himself in the emergency room, perhaps experience an epiphany, but now it seems he has taken to crooked paths instead!"
Li Entang sighed, his tone filled with pity for Xiao Yifei, "A promising young man, not focusing on the right path, what a shame. If there’s an insider story, maybe your protection of Xiao Yifei, Vice President Nangong, is the actual intrigue!"
Li Entang displayed an air of lament on his veteran face, a feigned benevolence in his eyes that made it unbelievable that this Vice President was the Shangjing People’s Hospital official most deeply mired in bribery.
Fang Yuan frowned, a sudden jolt in his heart unsettling him. Despite his composure, he began to doubt his own decision to hastily praise Xiao Yifei without a thorough investigation.
Fu Kaiyuan, sitting below, let out a cold snort, "Xiao Yifei probably didn’t expect to mess up this badly."
Now, even Li Entang led the mockery of Xiao Yifei, emboldening all the doctors there. Their snide remarks about Xiao Yifei, previously restrained under Fang Yuan’s pressure, now burst forth unrestrained with Li Entang’s backing.
"What merits does Xiao Yifei have to receive such great protection from Vice President Nangong Yun, and to dare deceive people so brazenly! Does he really possess such exceptional medical skill? Impossible!"
"Exactly! Impossible! How could lupus, which has been incurable for so long, be healed so quickly under Xiao Yifei’s care!"
Eventually, the situation on the floor slowly shifted from the initial shock and suspicion over Fang Yuan’s commendation of Xiao Yifei to a collective denigration of him.
Most crucially, even Fang Yuan slowly began to cast doubtful glances towards Xiao Yifei.
"What on earth is going on?"
He turned his head to ask Nangong Yun, "Did you really see with your own eyes Xiao Yifei cure the patient’s lupus erythematosus?"
Nangong Yun nodded firmly, and at that moment, Chen Xusheng also spoke up, "We all saw it! Is there still something to question?"
But just at that moment, Fu Kaiyuan’s voice inappropriately rang out, "Did you really see it? Think carefully, did you really see Xiao Yifei cure the disease? You know, we have no idea what he did inside the consultation room!"
Fang Yuan’s brows furrowed deeply, as he repeated, "Are you certain that you saw with your own eyes Xiao Yifei cure the patient’s disease?"
Chen Xusheng opened his mouth, ready to respond to Fang Yuan, but then suddenly remembered he had not actually seen what Xiao Yifei did in the consultation room; hesitating, everyone’s disbelief in Xiao Yifei also began to affect the resolution Chen Xusheng had previously held.
Seeing Chen Xusheng hesitate, Fang Yuan instantly became annoyed; he angrily smashed the microphone down on the lectern, his face was full of anger, "This is absurd! Without seeing it with your own eyes, how can you come to such a conclusion! Isn’t this a joke? It’s utterly shameful!"
The series of events that unfolded on the stage made the doctors sitting below revel in schadenfreude, "I’ve always disliked that Xiao Yifei, lacking real skill but still putting on airs! Now I want to see how he handles the situation when the truth comes out! Serves him right!"
Not a single person was willing to believe Xiao Yifei, even Chen Xusheng began to doubt, and Zhang Wencai also turned his skeptical gaze towards Xiao Yifei; in their hearts, amid the whispers of the crowd, they too began to harbor doubts.
Fang Yuan, furious, was about to leave the stage, but was stopped by Nangong Yun who suddenly stepped forward, "Director Fang! Don’t rush, the patient who came to our hospital for treatment, you must also be aware, has a very profound background, and specifically came to find Doctor Xiao Yifei. We are very clear about Doctor Xiao Yifei’s background; he does not have the ability to have this patient collude with him in such a performance. Doesn’t this prove that Doctor Xiao hasn’t deceived anyone?"
While everyone doubted Xiao Yifei, Nangong Yun still firmly stood by his side, speaking up for Xiao Yifei.
Fang Yuan stood in place, feeling that what Nangong Yun said made sense. He was conflicted and truly struggling, but at this moment, Li Entang’s slow voice finally sounded.
"I remember, Xiao Yifei is Jiang Mingquan’s lifesaver! And for Jiang Mingquan to help him out with a little act, that wouldn’t be difficult, would it?"
Li Entang’s words made Fang Yuan turn around abruptly as he looked towards Li Entang, listening as he continued to speak. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel·fıre·net
"Director Fang, you also know, since Vice Director Wu met with an accident and left us, but before Vice Director Wu passed away, both he and I clearly knew Xiao Yifei had once cured Jiang Mingquan’s illness and was quite pleased with himself! Knowing Jiang’s personality, having had dealings with him before, Director Fang, you are aware that it was very easy for Xiao Yifei to ask Jiang for this kind of help!"
Li Entang recalled how Xiao Yifei had caused him heavy losses through Jiang Mingquan and couldn’t help the twitch of his mouth. He stared at Xiao Yifei with death in his eyes, determined to crush Xiao Yifei with this opportunity!
