Chapter 1098: Chapter 433: Retribution for Good and Evil, Stained for Life

Dr. Xu is someone deeply emotional by nature. He had actually long been dissatisfied with Dr. Lu.

But Dr. Lu knows how to play the game; he’s good at bootlicking and even better at putting up a façade.

He’s not bad at playing the emotional card either.

Just take three years ago, he had a major falling out with Zhou Can over the matter with Qiao Yu, going so far as to become incredibly hostile toward Zhou Can.

For a regular person, it would probably be embarrassing to approach Zhou Can and make peace.

However, Dr. Lu can swallow his pride and bend when needed, without any sense of pretense.

He naturally took initiative to apologize to Zhou Can and sought ways to mend their relationship.

Eventually, Zhou Can and he coexisted peacefully.

This time, despite Zhou Can’s return to the Emergency Department seemingly not having any direct conflict of interest with Dr. Lu, Zhou Can’s return had indeed affected Dr. Lu’s status, even including his income.

It’s as if a family originally has only one child, and all the love from the parents and elders is lavished on this child.

Then another child is born, and this second child is smarter and more considerate, far excelling the first child in all aspects.

The love from parents and elders naturally gets diverted, partially taken by the second child.

At this point, the first child would feel unbalanced inside.

He doesn’t dare to blame the parents or elders but harbors resentment toward the younger sibling.

Before Zhou Can returned to the Emergency Department, Dr. Lu had decent access to resources and guidance in the operating room. But once Zhou Can came back, the entire department revolved around Zhou Can.

Dr. Lu’s position was inevitably undermined.

This matter left him suffering in silence. It was precisely because his abilities were far inferior to Zhou Can’s that he consistently failed competitively.

He carried a silent grievance he couldn’t voice.

Moreover, due to Zhou Can’s considerably higher status, he didn’t dare express any trace of dissatisfaction in front of Zhou Can.

As time went on, this grudge accumulated within his heart without a means to vent.

Until that recent surgical patient’s matter, when Zhou Can reported him, leading Dr. Xu to scold him severely. It was akin to igniting a powder keg; Dr. Lu’s new and old grudges against Zhou Can explosively erupted.

In a moment of irrationality, he uttered harsh words to Zhou Can.

Afterward, he resorted to despicable means in an attempt to ruin Zhou Can.

The ancient dictum goes: it’s better to antagonize a gentleman than a villain, a valuable experience earned from our ancestors’ blood-learned lessons.

Zhou Can asked himself if he was fair to Dr. Lu, but Dr. Lu didn’t see it that way!

Unable to retaliate in other ways against Zhou Can, he resorted to fabricating scandals to disgust Zhou Can.

Previously, after pursuing Qiao Yu multiple times and being relentlessly rejected, Dr. Lu had long harbored resentment.

Seeing Qiao Yu taking initiative and being enthusiastic toward Zhou Can further fueled his jealousy and inner imbalance.

This time fabricating rumors that involved Qiao Yu and ruining both, it’s just what he wished for.

It’s simply terrifying how dark the human heart can be.

Dr. Xu, with a stern face, said to Zhou Can, "I’ll first go to the ward to check on the patient’s condition. You go to the operating room and bring Dr. Lu over. If his surgery isn’t done yet, take over directly."

"Alright."

Zhou Can knew Dr. Lu had no chance this time.

The lightest consequence might be having his surgical privileges suspended, redirected to do other tasks.

Changing into his attire, he entered the operating room, just in time to see Dr. Lu idly flirting with the nurse.

"Dr. Lu, there’s a problem with the patient in ward bed 17, Dr. Xu is asking you to come over immediately."

"Me?"

Dr. Lu was full of confusion.

"The patient you operated on yesterday, with the right arm superficial tumor removal," Zhou Can had to add.

"You’re blackening my reputation again?" Dr. Lu’s greatest skill is flipping his demeanor without sentiment. When he doesn’t want to offend you, he can be so humble, like a servile puppy.

"Dr. Zhou, I really didn’t intend to address you, but it’s better to be a bit less authoritarian. Colleagues should be interconnected, with issues resolved through mutual tolerance and support, not using lethal means against others."

Dr. Lu is indeed a talent.

He even preemptively accused Zhou Can, highlighting any perceived wrongs.

"Speaking of despicable behavior aimed to harm others, I wouldn’t assume such a role. But I believe Dr. Lu knows inside. Seeing you’re still allowed in the hospital harming patients, you likely haven’t received the court summons. Your time should be limited, so sort out matters at home, and once released, remember to be a good person."

With no patients in the operating room now, Zhou Can naturally didn’t indulge him.

Chances are, the court summons will arrive today, and by then Dr. Lu will understand what actions are permissible.

"You, what do you mean by this? Scaring who!"

Dr. Lu’s face turned pale in an instant.

Already with a guilty conscience, hearing Zhou Can mention court summons and being good after release, he felt vaguely ominous.

"Haha, I’m sure you understand. If you insist on feigning confusion, another reminder doesn’t hurt. If you don’t want others to find out, don’t do it yourself."

The rumors are backed by solid evidence, and Dr. Lu thought, after so many days passed, that nothing mattered anymore.

It’s only a pity he was too naive.

"Zhou Can, what do you really mean?"

Dr. Lu was panicked beyond measure inside.

Likely, he knows the matter has already been exposed.

But as humans, they harbor a sense of false hope.

When committing this wrongful act, Dr. Lu believed he had devised plenty of ways to evade police action. Such as registering online with someone else’s ID, wearing a mask and hat, covering his head tightly, almost like heading out as a bandit.
