C89 How dare He!

Dr. Sun couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing Lin Xuan's words.

Trying to act tough, he thought? Maybe he should take a good look at himself first.

He sneered at Lin Xuan, "Oh, you're making a call because I am? Who are you gonna call? Your brother? Your dad?"

"You really think you can summon someone else? They'll be here in five minutes? Who do you think you are, putting on airs like that?"

Meanwhile, the onlookers were murmuring among themselves.

"I'm familiar with Dr. Sun. There was someone who had a dispute with him over medical issues. That guy's been locked up for nearly a year and still hasn't been released!"

"Yeah, I've heard about it. Dr. Sun apparently called some thugs, gave the guy a beating, and then had him arrested!"

"Really? Has it come to this, with no law and order?"

"Well, he's got connections, a powerful backer. Looks like this young man is in for some trouble..."

"Alas, without any clout, he's trying to play the hero. Now he's done for. We'd better keep our distance..."

In the midst of this, Lin Xuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his demeanor serene and untroubled.

Dr. Sun scoffed, "You think you're tough? Just wait, I'll show you what tough really is!"

Lin Xuan simply smiled and replied, "Hehe, I've always believed that there's justice in this world."

"Justice?" Dr. Sun laughed derisively. "Well, I'm about to give you a lesson in what justice really means!"

"Let's see how you fare when the police arrive. You won't be able to wriggle out of this one..."

"Sun Daoming!"

A commanding voice interrupted, and a middle-aged man in his thirties, sporting black-rimmed glasses, hurried over.

Sun Daoming turned pale at the sight of the newcomer. "Minister Li..."

The man was none other than Lee Ruize, the head of the local health department.

It was to him that Lin Xuan had made the call.

Previously, Lee Ruize had been a subordinate of Lin Xuan, a health worker under his command. Lin Xuan had reached out to him before during an incident at the city center hospital.

This time, Lee Ruize had been directly requested by Lin Xuan to come and handle the situation.

Following close behind Lee Ruize were the director and chief of the People's Hospital, both of whom were eagerly trailing him, not daring to show any disrespect.

Upon Lee Ruize's arrival, he wasted no time in berating Sun Daoming, "What in the world are you doing?!"

The director, equally furious, exclaimed, "Sun Daoming, are you trying to bring down our hospital?!"

Sun Daoming, looking bewildered, protested, "Minister, Director, I was just following the hospital's regulations..."

"Regulations my foot!" the director snapped back. "Do you realize you're tarnishing our hospital's reputation? Do you have any idea how grave the consequences of your actions are? You're utterly clueless!"

Sun Daoming, thoroughly chastised, pleaded with an aggrieved look, "Director, aren't these your rules?"

"Shut your mouth!" the director bellowed.

Lee Ruize then turned to Lin Xuan with an apologetic smile, "Mr. Lin, it's my negligence that allowed such behavior to corrupt the ethos of our medical department."

"Rest assured, I will vigorously purge this malignant influence from our hospital!"

Lin Xuan, hands clasped behind his back, nodded in agreement.

Relieved that Lin Xuan wasn't overly critical, Lee Ruize inquired, "Mr. Lin, do you have any further directives?"

Lin Xuan responded coolly, "Yes, my directive is to dismiss this scoundrel!"

"Who are you calling a scoundrel?!" Sun Daoming retorted, still defiant.

Lee Ruize declared icily, "Sun Daoming, you're terminated, effective immediately!"

The director chimed in, "Uh... right, as of now, you're no longer a physician at this hospital."

Sun Daoming was left speechless, stunned.

What was happening here?

The head of the Health Department, Minister Li, along with the hospital's director, were taking orders from this young man?

On what grounds?

When Sun Daoming remained motionless, Lee Ruize glanced at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan simply stated, "Such individuals must be removed from our medical ranks. We cannot allow one bad apple to spoil the whole barrel."

"Exactly! Mr. Lin is spot on!" Lee Ruize quickly concurred.

With Lee Ruize's support, the director sternly ordered Sun Daoming, "Strip off your white coat and leave the hospital this instant!"

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Sun Daoming pleaded, "Minister, Director, please don't dismiss me. I'll refund the family's improper charges right away..."

Lee Ruize snorted coldly, "Enough, there's no need for further words. Since Mr. Lin has issued his directive, there's no chance I'll keep you on."

"Yes, our hospital is definitely going to fire you!"

The director chimed in, "Without serious consequences for you, we can't justify it to our patients and their families!"

"Minister, you can't fire me! Please, just give me one more chance!" Sun Daoming pleaded, his voice low, "Director, I realize my mistake... but I was really just trying to generate revenue for the hospital."

The director rebuked him furiously, "Shut your mouth, strip off that white coat this instant, and get out! Now! Scram!"

When Sun Daoming realized his pleas were futile, he retorted bitterly, "Fine! Fire me, but it won't be easy for you either!"

"I'm not a doctor anymore, I have nothing to fear from you!"

With a cold glare at Lin Xuan, Sun Daoming warned, "Wai Daxiong from the battlefield is my sworn brother. Cross me, and you'll see the end of your good days!"

"And as for the rest of you, daring to fire me! Better be careful. Watch out for cars when you're walking down the street, or for accidents involving your kids after school!"

"I've recorded every threat you've made just now."

The chief behind the director held up his phone and declared, "There are plenty of witnesses here. Your own words are enough to land you in jail for years if you're sued!"

Lin Xuan responded coolly, "So, you're thinking of resorting to other tactics?"

"No matter, go ahead. I'm ready for whatever you throw at me."

Sun Daoming nodded vehemently, "Fine! If you're looking for trouble, I'll oblige!"

With that, he began dialing a number.

After the call, Sun Daoming sneered, "In twenty minutes, you'll witness your downfall! I hope you can still stand there and talk so tough then!"

"And you!" Sun Daoming pointed at the dean and the others once more, "I'm sick of taking your crap! Today, you'll all see what I'm capable of!"

Enraged, Sun Daoming decided to call his ally, Wai Daxiong, to come and take care of Lin Xuan and the rest, to get the retribution he felt he deserved.

Upon hearing Sun Daoming's remarks, the principal grew tense and said, "We need to figure something out. Wai Daxiong has a bit of a reputation; he's not someone the average person can just tangle with."

"You've heard of Wai Daxiong?" Lin Xuan inquired, "What's his story?"

With a grave look, the principal explained, "He's the quarry boss in North City, wielding considerable influence there. He's got a bunch of toughs working for him, known for their brutality and willingness to kill."

"There was an incident where they sliced a man's Achilles tendons and stabbed him eighteen times. He was rushed to our hospital and nearly died right here."

Sun Daoming let out a cold, smug laugh. "Good, you're aware! You should have done your homework before daring to cross me."

"My brother's crew is already en route. I'm curious to see how you'll handle this."

At that moment, Lee Ruize chastised the principal, "Evil does not triumph over good! How can you, a principal, cower before such malevolence?"

He was about to make a call when Lin Xuan gestured to him, "Minister Lee, your part is done. You're free to go."

Lee Ruize paused, then it clicked. The Hall Master intended to fight fire with fire, and it was no longer his place to get involved.

"Alright, I have other matters to attend to anyway. I'll be on my way," said Lee Ruize.

"Understood," Lin Xuan acknowledged with a nod, then dialed Qin Hu. "Are you scared of Wai Daxiong?"

"Boss, are you kidding?" Qin Hu responded promptly. "Wai Daxiong, that small-time North City thug under Scar Cheng, can only push people around in the quarry. If he dares to show up here, I'll cut him down to size. What's the issue?"

Lin Xuan's response was a calm smile. "He's currently on his way here, and he's coming for me."

Qin Hu's tone turned grave in an instant. "Boss, where are you at the moment? I'll bring backup right away! I want to see who's got the nerve to disrespect you, Boss."

"I'm at the Citizen Love Hospital."
