Wang Tao had just thrown the “Surgical Consent Form” onto Qin Jiang when Zheng Yuxiu hurried over, picked it up, and began apologizing profusely to Qin Jiang.
“I’m so sorry, Doctor. Wang Tao just has a terrible temper, please don’t take it personally.”
“Doctor, I’ll sign this. I’ll also cover all my son’s medical expenses.”
As Zheng Yuxiu spoke, she was about to sign the form, but Wang Tao abruptly shoved her to the ground and tore the “Surgical Consent Form” to pieces.
“Sign what, you foolish, wasteful woman!”
“The surgery is already done. If we don’t sign, we don’t have to pay a single cent. Plus, he’ll have to take care of Xiao Hu’s food, drink, and everything else afterward. If there are any complications, I’ll make sure he’s held responsible.”
“The moment you sign this, not only do we pay, but we’re also responsible for any future complications. Do you get it now?”
Hearing Wang Tao’s words, the live stream viewers were furious.
“Holy crap, this guy is so arrogant! He’s clearly trying to screw over Dr. Qin!”
“This is truly eye-opening. I never thought someone would even try to weasel out of paying for surgery!”
“As a nurse working in a hospital, I can only say what you’ve seen is child’s play. Many of the hospital’s seemingly harsh rules are actually born from painful lessons.”
“I work in pediatrics. One rule at our hospital is that if a family member asks you to hold their child, you must pinch the child to make sure they cry and confirm they’re alive.”
Many viewers didn’t understand why hospitals have so many rules that seem excessive.
Just like they initially didn’t understand why Qin Jiang insisted on receiving payment before treating patients.
The reason is actually quite simple: to guard against villains like Wang Tao.
Seeing Zheng Yuxiu pushed to the ground by Wang Tao, Jiang Lu and the others couldn’t stand by. They stepped forward to confront Wang Tao.
“How can you be like this? Dr. Qin worked so hard to save Wang Hu, finally bringing him back, and you’re still trying to cheat him!”
“That’s right! This entire process is being live-streamed and recorded. Do you really think not signing means you won’t be held responsible?”
Even with so many people criticizing him, Wang Tao didn’t care in the slightest.
He was used to being shameless. These student kids wouldn’t dare lay a hand on him anyway, so what did he have to fear?
At that moment, Qin Jiang finally spoke.
“You seem quite full of yourself.”
As soon as Qin Jiang spoke, everyone fell silent.
Liu Yan, in particular, stared wide-eyed at Qin Jiang.
After all this time streaming, Qin Jiang had always been the gentle, straightforward, old-school doctor.
They had never seen him with such an intimidating presence before.
Wang Tao, however, was spurred on. He looked at Qin Jiang with disdain.
“Yeah, I am full of myself. What are you going to do about it?”
“What, you’re a doctor. You wouldn’t dare hit me in front of all these people, would you?”
“Go ahead, hit me. I won’t fight back. Let’s see if you can afford the compensation.”
Damn, he’s asking for it!
This was the first time everyone had encountered a scoundrel like Wang Tao.
A complete and utter bully. Hitting him wasn’t right, but not hitting him felt wrong too!
The viewers’ emotions were extremely mixed.
They hoped Qin Jiang could teach Wang Tao a lesson and vent their anger, but they also worried that if Qin Jiang actually resorted to violence, he would bring trouble upon himself.
Just as everyone was wondering how Qin Jiang would handle this, he smiled slightly.
“I’m a doctor. Why would I hit you?”
“At most, I’d make you kneel and beg for my forgiveness, then sign this ‘Surgical Consent Form.'”
Wang Tao burst out laughing as if he had heard the biggest joke of his life.
“Are you dreaming? Me, kneel and beg you? You should be the one kneeling for me!”
Qin Jiang sat back in his chair and said calmly, “Haven’t you been feeling headaches lately? Blurry vision? Sometimes sudden vision loss, like going blind?”
Wang Tao’s expression changed.
“How do you know that?”
Qin Jiang didn’t answer him but continued, “Recently, you’ve been feeling constantly thirsty, drinking lots of water, and as a result, urinating more frequently, needing to go every half hour or so?”
Wang Tao’s eyes widened. He looked at Qin Jiang as if seeing a ghost.
“You… how do you know all this?”
Qin Jiang poured himself a full cup of Sheng Mai Yin, took a sip, and said nonchalantly, “Well, people get sick. Who can guarantee they’ll never fall ill in their lifetime?”
“Even during ancient wars, the most brutal commanders never killed doctors. Do you know why?”
“Because doctors can cure your illnesses, letting you live a few more years.”
“But for your condition, in my opinion, you have at most three months left to live.”
Thud.
As soon as Qin Jiang finished speaking, Wang Tao immediately knelt on the ground and without a word, kowtowed three times to Qin Jiang.
“Miracle doctor! I was wrong earlier! It was my fault! I was blind and looked down on you!”
“Miracle doctor, please treat everything I said as nonsense. Please be magnanimous and help treat me!”
Wang Tao was indeed a scoundrel.
But that didn’t mean he wasn’t afraid of death!
He had all the symptoms Qin Jiang mentioned.
The key was, he had gone to the hospital for a check-up before, but the results didn’t indicate any major problems.
Now, hearing Qin Jiang say he only had three months to live, how could Wang Tao not panic?
Seeing Wang Tao genuinely kneel and beg for mercy, the live stream viewers were overjoyed.
“Weren’t you all tough and arrogant just now? How come you’re kneeling now?”
“Perfect, just perfect. You come to pick a fight with Dr. Qin while being sick? You’ve got some nerve, I’ll give you that.”
“The arrogance from before is now replaced by utter humility. Life, aging, sickness, and death are all in Dr. Qin’s hands.”
No one else had expected Qin Jiang to make Wang Tao so compliant with just a few words.
Their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Qin Jiang.
Qin Jiang said calmly, “It’s not impossible for me to treat you. But first, you must confess your wrongdoings.”
“Con… confess my wrongdoings?”
Wang Tao was confused.
“I haven’t done anything wrong. What should I confess?”
Qin Jiang sneered, “Are you sure you haven’t done anything wrong?”
“Then let me ask you, how did the injuries on her body come about?”
Qin Jiang pointed at Zheng Yuxiu. Wang Tao’s face instantly turned pale.
Jiang Lu seemed to realize something. She immediately rolled up Zheng Yuxiu’s sleeves to look.
She discovered Zheng Yuxiu’s arms were covered in bruises—some blue, some purple—and even scars from cigarette burns!
What an absolute beast!
The live stream viewers were enraged, hurling curses at Wang Tao!
No one had expected Wang Tao to be such a scumbag who resorted to domestic violence!
Tears welled up in Zheng Yuxiu’s eyes.
All these years, if it weren’t for her son Wang Hu, she would have divorced Wang Tao long ago. Why would she have endured such inhuman torment otherwise?
