Chapter 382: Chapter 382: In This World, I Only Fear You (1)

Mingxin Hospital Surgery Ward

Dean Gao had suddenly appeared in the afternoon to inspect the surgery ward.

All the surgical staff lined up neatly in two rows on either side of the corridor, extending into the doctor’s office. As Dean Gao passed between the welcoming ranks, he smiled and greeted each staff member individually.

Su Yide hid behind the others, his face slightly lowered. Previously, he had loved to stand out in front of leadership, excelling in flattery, and Dean Gao, knowing his lineage, had also treated him favorably, seemingly intent on supporting him. After all, Su’s father had donated to the hospital’s charity fund, of course, also for the sake of securing his son’s position within the hospital.

Now, with the Su family’s downfall, his parents were held in prison. Su Yide didn’t know where to put his face.

Across from him stood Tang Sili, with Ou Yanan standing behind him. This mentor and mentee, with their indifferent and aloof glances, seemed to sweep over his face intentionally or unintentionally. This tormented Su Yide deeply, his face revealing an expression of immense indignation, as though he wanted to shout in his heart: Even if my family has gone bankrupt, it’s still better than being a backwoods farmer tending pigs and vegetables like you.

Ou Yanan raised an eyebrow, seemingly amused by what Su Yide’s expression suggested he was thinking. As far as he knew, his mentor, Tang Sili, never cared about this young master of the Su family.

Indeed, Tang Sili had always been too indifferent to even glance at Su Yide. The alleged mocking and satire directed at Su Yide were merely figments of his own imagination.

When Dean Gao reached the end of the line, he saw them and suddenly showed a concerned look as he said to Su Yide, "Dr. Su, I heard there has been a serious incident in your family."

Su Yide’s brow furrowed, realizing that news indeed spread fast. It seemed everyone around was just waiting to see him embarrass himself.

He feigned composure as he straightened the corner of his white coat, saying, "Thank you for your concern and care, Dean. The issues with my family aren’t that severe and will be managed properly."

"Is that so?" Dean Gao’s smile seemed to twist knowingly as he continued, looking at him while letting out a slight sigh, "It’s truly regrettable what has become of Dr. Su’s sister. I heard she used to be a beloved beauty back in her school days."

Su Yide didn’t respond, feeling that his sister fully deserved her fate.

"By the way, the hospital treating her heard that you are her brother and hopes to transfer her to where you work. What do you think, Dr. Su?"

Su Yide hadn’t anticipated this at all and blurted out, "No need—"

All eyes at once focused on him again.

Grinding his teeth inwardly as he thought about how long his family trouble might still haunt him, he could only pretend outwardly, "It wouldn’t be quite feasible for our hospital, what with so many patients wanting to be admitted and none able to get in, making this exception might create a bad impression among the patients—"

"I didn’t expect Dr. Su to treat all patients equally," Dean Gao suddenly said, sounding oddly peculiar to some ears.

Everyone knew that Su Yide often discriminated between the rich and the poor, being very selective with his patients.

Su Yide endured, struggling to hold back.

Unexpectedly, Dean Gao then turned to Tang Sili and made a remark, "Now, Dr. Su and Professor Tang are on the same starting line."

It was clear to the discerning listener that this meant, following his fall from grace, Su Yide was now on the same level in terms of family standing as Tang Sili.
