Chapter 745, So What?

"Doctor Niu, Dean Chen, put your hearts back in your stomachs, focus on healing and saving people, hehe, the matter has been resolved. Some people no longer have the qualifications to point fingers or dismiss you from your positions."

After putting away his phone, Xiao Yi smiled at those doctors.

"You... it’s you!"

No sooner had Xiao Yi’s words fallen, without waiting for those doctors to say something or react, Mr. Zhao beside him was already looking at him with eyes widened in shock and disbelief, as if looking at a ferocious beast about to devour someone.

Mr. Liu nearby also seemed to recollect something. He stared at Xiao Yi with shock and disbelief in his wide-open eyes, his gaze filled with fear and panic.

And those doctors, likewise incredulously staring at Xiao Yi with wide-open eyes, felt as if towering waves were surging within their hearts. They were not foolish; on the contrary, they were all very intelligent. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to enter Medical College, obtain their PhD, or become doctors at the first affiliated hospital of Z University. By this moment, if they still didn’t understand what was happening, they might as well bash their heads against a wall!

But the fact was indeed too incredible, too shocking!

This young man, not only had he publicly wrestled with Mr. Zhao, embarrassed him, and made him unable to step down, he had indeed brought down Mr. Zhao! Ruthlessly, with concrete actions, he had slapped him across the face!

Am I dreaming?

Each doctor’s heart couldn’t help but feel as if they were in a dreamlike state.

Who exactly was this young man?

At the same time, every doctor looked at Xiao Yi with a subtly different gaze, especially those few who initially opposed Doctor Niu. They were not very impressed when Xiao Yi appeared, wanting to see his embarrassment, even trying to make things difficult for him. Each of them, secretly sweating cold sweat within their hearts, had their backs soaked through.

"So what if it’s me?"

Xiao Yi disdainfully glanced at Mr. Zhao and Mr. Liu.

So what?

Listening to Xiao Yi’s words and seeing the disdainful expression on his face, Mr. Zhao only felt churning in his chest, as if his breath was stuck and unable to come out. Although the doctors had medicated and carefully treated him, suppressing some of his ailments over the past two days, his condition flared up completely all at once. He tightly clutched his chest, unable to utter a single word.

However, no one paid attention to his pain. Everyone was firmly captivated by Xiao Yi, each person inwardly stirred!

The young man before them had shown them what true dominance was! What true badassery was!

Being sneaky and plotting behind the scenes to mess with people, not daring to stand out, was no skill at all. The real badass messes with you right to your face, brings you down, and then directly tells you to your face it was him who did it, so what?

What kind of arrogance was this? And what kind of confidence?

Each doctor, everyone present, silently and firmly etched Xiao Yi’s slender, handsome face in their minds, remembering this young man’s appearance!

"Doctor Niu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back now, but feel free to call me anytime if you need anything."

Looking at Mr. Zhao, whose face twisted in pain made even his breathing look difficult, and Mr. Liu whose face alternated between pale and flushed, eyes filled with fear and uneasy anxiety as they looked at him, a hint of scorn and disdain flashing through his eyes, Xiao Yi turned back and gave a slight smile to Doctor Niu and the others, preparing to take his leave.

"Really... really don’t know what to say... Anyway... thank you so much, Doctor Xiao, let me see you out," they said.

Upon hearing Xiao Yi making his farewells, Doctor Niu and the others snapped back to reality as if waking from a dream, hurriedly lifting their heads, with a mix of gratitude, remorse, and a hint of awe in their eyes as they spoke.

At this point, the situation had developed to this state, naturally, no one would bring up again the original intent of having Xiao Yi treat Mr. Zhao.

"Doctor Niu, you don’t have to be polite, I can leave on my own; I didn’t really help you today, hehe," Xiao Yi quickly waved his hands, refusing.

He didn’t believe that the incident just now was helping them—it was trouble he had personally stirred up, something he should naturally deal with. If he had not appeared, although Mr. Zhao and his ilk were arrogant, given their compromising and groveling, it probably wouldn’t have ended up an irreconcilable situation. But he did not regret his actions!

Although he wasn’t a traditional professional doctor, in his heart, he absolutely couldn’t tolerate anyone tarnishing or belittling medical practice, insulting these true doctors with noble medical ethics!

Especially after knowing this person was considered a leader in the medical industry, his resolve on what to do next strengthened even more!

In his eyes, every medical technique was immensely deserving of respect, and each doctor who truly loved their medical work and was keen on treating illnesses and saving lives needed to be honored! Because, every medical technique, every doctor, was saving a life!

They had invited Xiao Yi over to save someone, and since the person hadn’t been saved, in that sense, Xiao Yi had indeed not been able to help them much.

Although Xiao Yi had modestly said not to bother, the other doctors still insisted on seeing him off enthusiastically. Seeing the doctors’ fervent attitude, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle, not wanting to experience again what had happened when he first arrived.

The previous arrival had already caused enough of a stir. Now, leaving in such a manner under the accompaniment of the dean and a group of expert leaders, those who didn’t know better might think he was some important national leader coming for an inspection.

After much persuasion, he finally made Dean Chen and the others go back, to continue what they were doing, leaving only Doctor Niu to accompany him down.

Seeing that Xiao Yi was insistent, Dean Chen and the others, albeit reluctantly, had no choice but to give up the insistence. They just cautioned Doctor Niu to make sure he escorted Xiao Yi properly, then enviously watched as an excited-looking Doctor Niu, beaming with pride, accompanied Xiao Yi until the two entered the elevator and completely disappeared from view.

What they all failed to notice was Mr. Zhao nearby, who was also watching Xiao Yi leave. However, the expression in his eyes was completely different—filled with deep resentment.

"So you’re Xiao, huh? Just you wait, I, Zhao Sheng, will certainly not let you off!"

"I will make your life a living hell!"

Mr. Zhao silently vowed to himself.

..................

"Alright, Doctor Niu, you can go back now. I can get back by myself, haha."

Having walked downstairs with Doctor Niu, Xiao Yi quickly turned around to bid him farewell again.

"How can that be, Doctor Xiao? I promised the dean that I must see you safely back to the college."

Doctor Niu was surprised that Xiao Yi wanted to say goodbye just out of the elevator and hurriedly spoke anxiously.

"Doctor Niu, what are you doing? I’m not a child who doesn’t know his way around. You still have patients to attend to; how can you afford to waste time escorting me back? You’re making me feel guilty and uneasy."

Xiao Yi was startled when he realized Doctor Niu actually intended to escort him all the way back to the college, and quickly tried to dissuade him.

"But..."

"Doctor Niu, no buts, listen to me, go back. You’re a doctor; your duty is to treat and save people. Don’t waste your time on someone as unimportant as me."

Before Doctor Niu could say anything else, Xiao Yi promptly interrupted him and continued to persuade, his expression grave and his tone earnest.

He knew Doctor Niu was a person of great professional spirit who valued medical ethics, the only way to persuade him was to appeal through this aspect.

Sure enough, upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Doctor Niu’s expression immediately loosened.

"Doctor Niu, don’t worry, I’ll explain it to Dean Chen and the others. Besides, I have to deal with some things nearby and won’t be going back to the college right away. You really don’t need to escort me."

Xiao Yi knew Doctor Niu’s last bit of concern was about Dean Chen and the others, and quickly took the opportunity to persuade him further.

"Oh, in that case... Doctor Xiao, I won’t escort you then."

Having heard Xiao Yi’s words, Doctor Niu finally relaxed and stopped insisting, his eyes displaying a hint of reluctance as he looked at Xiao Yi.

"No need, no need, you go back. I’m heading out too. If there’s anything, just give me a call."

Xiao Yi, seeing that Doctor Niu had finally stopped insisting, felt relieved.

"Certainly, I hope there will be another opportunity to learn and consult with Doctor Xiao!"

Doctor Niu solemnly nodded his head. Although Xiao Yi had briefly demonstrated his capability before, which had slightly shaken him, it was Xiao Yi’s medical skill that had shocked him more and appeared even more attractive, especially after listening to Xiao Yi’s explanations while waiting for the results. Thus, his heart truly hoped for another chance to hear more of Xiao Yi’s theories.

Xiao Yi gave a slight smile, and rather than continue with the polite formalities—the useless repetition of words he knew had no effect after several exchanges—he nodded, gestured, then turned and walked ahead.
