Chapter 676: That Bastard Kong Jingshan
Kong Lingwen lightly frowned her Liu Mei brows and said displeasedly, "The reason I came to get the medicine at night is because I urgently need it. You’re an employee hired by the Kong Family, and this is your job. If you find it troublesome, you can resign."
She has a straightforward personality and never indulges her subordinates.
The Kong Family’s pharmacy has been open for a few years, but business hasn’t been good; it seems partly due to this Store Manager Sun.
Always complaining about inconvenience—why bother working? Just stay at home and lie down.
Store Manager Sun’s face changed, and he awkwardly smiled, "Ms. Kong, that’s not what I meant. If all the herbs are gone, our sales for today will be affected."
"Then close down for today. Take paid leave."
Kong Lingwen spoke decisively but was contemplating finding a suitable person to take over the pharmacy.
She waved her hand, signaling Store Manager Sun to leave quickly, and then made a call to Kong Jingshan.
"Dad, Yang Cheng finished the medicine last night. We are going to the hospital right away, and you should bring people there too."
"All done? He really worked hard."
Kong Jingshan was thrilled and admired Yang Cheng even more.
This young man is so outstanding, but unfortunately, if he reveals things related to Yang Feng, Yang Cheng will inevitably have an irreconcilable conflict with that big family.
Originally, he just wanted to protect himself, but recently, Cao Ruibin’s power has been expanding rapidly, and he suspects that the big family is behind it.
Which means, even if the Kong Family doesn’t want to get involved, they will be forced into this. It’s better to ally with Yang Cheng and deal with those people together.
He has no better options for now, so he can only pin all his hopes on Yang Cheng, at least there’s still a glimmer of hope.
"Yes! Yang Cheng drove all day to get back, barely slept at night. When he’s back home, we must help him nourish his body."
Kong Lingwen felt genuinely heartbroken; today, she noticed Yang Cheng’s face was a bit pale.
"No problem."
Kong Jingshan agreed with a cheerful smile, then immediately instructed the driver to prepare the car to go to the hospital.
...
Jinyun City Hospital.
Inside the corridor, painful moans from patients echoed from the rooms, while medical staff busied themselves in each ward applying ointment to patients.
Initially, applying the ointment brought brief silence, but soon the patients were complaining about the pain in their wounds, and doctors couldn’t determine what virus it was, so they just gave painkiller injections.
The admitted patients were either rich or influential, truly hard to serve, exhausting the medical staff.
At this moment, several cars stopped downstairs at the hospital; Yang Cheng and Kong Jingshan arrived at the hospital simultaneously.
"Xiaochen, you haven’t had breakfast yet, right? I asked Nanny Liu to make porridge and stuffed pastries for you. Have some first."
After Kong Jingshan said this, someone next to him handed over a delicate insulated box.
After a night of hard work, Yang Cheng was indeed hungry and, without caring about where he was, started eating stuffed pastries and drinking a large mouthful of porridge.
Within a few minutes, he finished his breakfast and quickly got on the elevator.
A large group entered the inpatient department, and as soon as they got off the elevator, they heard the continuous cries and curses from the family members.
"Oh! I’m in so much pain! Just give me two more shots!"
"Ah!! My face is ruined, sobbing..."
"Kong Jingshan, that bastard! What kind of evil did the hotel encounter? They can’t even find the toxin source, making my son suffer needlessly!"
On hearing the curses, Yang Cheng instinctively glanced at Kong Jingshan, noticing his calm demeanor, as if the insults weren’t aimed at him.
Kong Jingshan quickly walked into one of the wards; a young man in his twenties lay on the bed, with a noble-looking middle-aged woman sitting beside him, along with some bodyguards and caregivers.
When the grand lady raised her head and saw that it was Kong Jingshan, a storm of anger erupted in her eyes, and she said through gritted teeth, "Chairman Kong, what wind brought you here? Are you here to see if my son has died?"
"Madam Gong, I apologize for the incident at the Kong Family hotel. We are already taking remedial measures to ensure your son is safe and sound."
Kong Jingshan maintained a respectful attitude and bowed deeply to the grand lady.
The grand lady sneered, "What have you remedied? Look at my son’s body, full of blisters and sores. At this rate, his whole body will rot!"
"He is our only child. If anything happens to him, I will never let you off."
Though the Kong Family was framed, at this moment there was no use in Kong Jingshan explaining further—treating the patient is the most crucial.
"Madam Gong, please calm down. I have brought a doctor."
Saying this, he brought Yang Cheng forward and introduced him: "This is Yang Cheng, the divine doctor I invited. He has a solution for this skin condition."
The grand lady looked Yang Cheng up and down, then suddenly slammed the table fiercely and shouted angrily, "Kong Jingshan! Are you crazy? Bringing such a young kid to treat my son—isn’t it fast enough for you to see him die?"
In everyone’s view, the older the doctor, the better their medical skills, because it takes decades of learning and accumulation to gradually improve one’s medical skills.
Someone as young as Yang Cheng might be just an intern without much experience, calling him over for treatment was utterly absurd.
Upon hearing Madam Gong’s shouts, people emerged from the wards, crowding to watch the spectacle.
"How could I joke about such matters? Although he appears young, his medical skills are indeed outstanding. Now that the hospital is helpless, why not let him give it a try?"
Kong Jingshan patiently persuaded.
"No way! My son isn’t a test subject. What if you accidentally kill him?"
Madam Gong wouldn’t relent and glanced at the bodyguards.
The bodyguards understood immediately, stepping in front of Kong Jingshan and said, "Mr. Kong, please leave."
Seeing this, Yang Cheng was somewhat helpless too. He glanced at the person on the bed, noticing many sores but realized his high fat content was the primary reason, and the poisoning wasn’t severe.
Standing here in a stalemate was truly meaningless, so he said, "Uncle Kong, this person isn’t severely poisoned; we should attend to the critically ill first."
The grand lady’s eyes widened angrily upon hearing this, "This isn’t severe, then what counts as severe?"
"Leave! I don’t want to see you!"
Following Madam Gong’s order, Yang Cheng and Kong Jingshan were driven out. They exchanged a glance and shook their heads in resignation.
It’s entirely normal for the relatives of the patients to be emotional, especially since the incident at the Kong Family hotel implicated these innocent people.
Glancing at the patients’ families around them, Kong Jingshan began to persuade: "Everyone, the little divine doctor beside me has really developed a special medicine. Trust me. As the head of the Kong Family, I am most hopeful for the patients to recover."
