My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1419 - 565: Escorted Away, Comeback_2

What greeted him was the security captain barking an order, and a few guards pounced on him like wolves and tigers, grabbing him by the arms.

"Security, security, we keep this place secure. Wearing this uniform, we’ve got the right to deal with you inside the hospital. Take him away."

The security captain’s face was full of disdain.

Zhang Mingxing was held up by two strong guards, with another one behind him constantly shoving him along.

This was really a case of a scholar meeting a soldier—reason didn’t stand a chance.

Security guards earn their keep with brute strength; they weren’t about to reason with him.

"Let go of me, damn it! Let go of me! I’m going to file a complaint against you!"

"File whatever you want, we’re not scared,"

The security captain sneered coldly, completely unafraid of being complained about.

They were acting on orders from the hospital leadership; even if a complaint was filed with the Medical Department, it would just sink without a trace.

"You, you... all you’ve got is that uniform on your backs. Security is the bottom of the barrel, and you really think you’re cops? You have no right to detain me. Let me go, or I’ll call the police."

A堂堂 vice president of Third Hospital being manhandled by a few guards like a criminal, in full view of everyone—where was he supposed to put his face?

All the way along, Zhang Mingxing kept roaring, threatening them in every possible way.

What he got in return was even rougher treatment.

They didn’t actually hit him, but the force twisting his arms behind his back quietly increased a few notches, making Zhang Mingxing howl in pain.

Zhou Can watched Zhang Mingxing being carried off and could only shake his head helplessly.

It was about time someone dealt with Third Hospital.

They’d screwed over so many doctors and nurses who’d jumped ship to them; this was the most morally bankrupt hospital Zhou Can had ever seen.

Other hospitals headhunting people would at least be polite and do their best to honor whatever terms they’d promised.

After all, it was supposed to be a win–win partnership.

But Third Hospital was something else: they’d write a whole pile of rubber checks and couldn’t even pay basic salaries. What was worse, they tricked these job‑hoppers into signing tyrannical contracts.

Every step was calculated against the people who’d jumped ship.

It was practically a living nightmare for anyone changing jobs.

Zhou Can walked over to Su Qianqian, who was waiting for him not far away with a thermos lunch box in hand.

"Honey, are you okay?"

"I’m fine. That guy, though, not so much."

Zhou Can shrugged and casually took the thermos from her hand. When he opened it, it was filled with all his favorite dishes.

"You made so much good food for me again! Thanks, wifey!"

He couldn’t wait any longer and started eating right away.

He’d been busy all afternoon, basically doing physical labor, and he was already starving.

"Hehe, to capture a man’s heart, you capture his stomach first. As long as you like my cooking, you won’t fall for someone else."

She was smiling especially happily.

Seeing how much Zhou Can loved her cooking gave her a huge sense of accomplishment.

"Even if you didn’t capture my stomach, I still wouldn’t cheat on you. That said, now that my stomach is satisfied, my sense of happiness is even stronger."

"Eat slower, no one’s fighting you for it! Eating too fast is bad for your health, don’t you know that?"

Su Qianqian’s beautiful eyes were filled entirely with him.

This kind of love was carved deep into the bones.

Ever since she and Zhou Can fell in love, they’d gone through a lot together. Their feelings for each other were etched into their hearts.

...

The next morning, Zhou Can received a message from Jiang Wei.

"The money’s in hand, be prepared."

He hadn’t expected the backer behind the scenes to pay up so quickly.

Five hundred thousand was definitely not a small amount.

It looked like his guess had been right—the one bankrolling this was undoubtedly Third Hospital.

Yesterday, Zhang Mingxing came to Tuya Hospital to deliver an ultimatum to Zhou Can, and ended up getting seriously roughed up by the hospital’s security.

He was probably furious.

Most likely he’d reached an agreement with Jiang Wei overnight, getting ready to take Zhou Can down.

"Got it!"

Zhou Can replied with two characters.

Sometimes things really came together by a twist of fate. Yesterday’s little "accident" that set off Zhang Mingxing had immediately forced Third Hospital to speed things up and strike a deal with Jiang Wei.

And they’d even paid in advance.

That was no small feat.

You had to know, Third Hospital had long been a deadbeat.

As far back as a few months ago, their capital chain had started to break. They’d been barely holding on until now, and scraping together five hundred thousand really wasn’t easy.

When he came out of the OR at noon, Zhou Can received a court summons.

He was being sued by the patient’s family.

This family member was no one else but the family of the patient he’d saved that night at First Hospital.

The story of the Farmer and the Snake was playing out in real life.

There were several grounds for the lawsuit, one of which involved "performing surgery beyond his authorized level."

Yesterday he’d turned down Vice President Zhang, and today he received a court summons—this revenge really came fast.

"That family is really showing their wolfish fangs. The surgery was clearly done at First Hospital, yet they’re not suing First Hospital, they’re suing me."

If Zhou Can hadn’t been prepared in advance, who knew what kind of situation he’d end up in.

A long time ago, Dr. Xu had warned him that making house calls carried risks.

If you weren’t short of money, you should minimize house calls and under‑the‑table gigs.

After receiving the summons, Zhou Can stayed calm and went straight to the legal department of his own company to coordinate, leaving it to them to handle.

At the same time, he personally called Zhong Ming and asked him out to dinner that evening.

That night, in a private room at a restaurant, it was just Zhou Can and Zhong Ming. Zhou Can told him about being sued by the family and said he hoped Zhong Ming could come forward to help him when the time came.

Zhong Ming agreed without even thinking about it.

Never mind that the day after that house call, Zhou Can had given him an extra thousand out of his own consultation fee. Even without that money, Zhong Ming would still be willing to help him.

...

In court, Zhou Can had specially taken leave from the hospital to attend the hearing.
