Chapter 561 - 286: The Swimming Dragon Enters the Sea
"Say thank you! Apologize to Dr. Lu!"
"What do you count as to be causing trouble for others? Huh?"
"You can’t even afford to treat your illness, what trouble are you looking for? You can barely survive, what trouble are you looking for? Huh?"
"Are you planning to go out and sell yourself?" Liu Su’an growled like a beast, utterly terrifying in his questioning.
"Let me tell you, if you dare to take this step, I will make sure you don’t see tomorrow’s sun."
"I can go to prison, and I can’t bear having given birth to such a beast. Try me if you don’t believe it!" Liu Su’an gritted his teeth, looking mad.
Liu Wanting was stunned, dumbfounded with a hint of fear.
Sell herself?
Is this really what her father said? Is this really the words of her genteel father?
Lu Cheng roughly understood and stepped between them: "Uncle, educate your child at home."
"This is a public place, I’m still working! Education matters should be approached slowly."
"Say thank you." Liu Su’an’s voice was cold, staring at Liu Wanting while clenching his fists.
"I’m sorry, Dr. Lu, thank you, I know I was wrong." Liu Wanting slightly bowed, trembling with fear, her muscles twitching pulled at her wound, making her face even paler, unable to maintain a look of pain on her face.
"It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s all over, take care of yourself going forward."
"If you had come to the hospital right away, rested properly, you probably wouldn’t have needed surgery!" Lu Cheng consoled.
Liu Wanting looked fearfully at Liu Su’an.
Liu Su’an turned his head coldly: "Why are you looking at me? Go, you’re discharged, you have no money to pay the fees, what are you staying in the hospital for? Starting tomorrow, you’ll work for me to pay off the debt."
"Whenever the debt is paid off, you’ll regain your freedom."
"Meal expenses are counted separately!"~
"Dad, I can’t be discharged yet, right? The doctor said," Liu Wanting spoke.
"The doctor does his own thing, to me, you’re not worth that much money, what do you count as?"
"The money I spend on you in a year, stored in a bank would be enough for numerous years in a retirement home!"
"Without you, I’m living carefree, you know."
"Go, get discharged." Liu Su’an pushed Liu Wanting, the force was too much, causing her to bump into the wall.
Lu Cheng wanted to stop them, but at the moment of reaching out, he saw Liu Su’an’s eyelids twitching, and as Liu Wanting hit the wall, tears rolled out but he quickly wiped them away.
Continuing to shout: "Go, why are you lying there?"
"If you have the ability, call your sisters, friends to pay the money, pay off my money, and I’ll let you go anytime."
"If you love staying in the hospital, keep staying, if you love being carefree, keep being carefree, however you love being free..."
Lu Cheng lowered his hands, silently watching all this, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
...
Dong Liumeng’s face turned a bit blue with anger: "I’m a father too, this should’ve been stopped earlier!"~
"If it were me, she would probably have at least a broken hand and a broken foot."
Lu Cheng couldn’t answer, only silently watched his panel flash such words.
[Through alternative means, treated the patient’s anxiety, helping him get out of his current mental crisis, achieving inner clarity, deciding to break through psychological barriers. Skill Points: 6.3]
[Through alternative treatment, treated the patient’s severe rebelliousness, Skill Points: 2.3]
Actually, Lu Cheng didn’t do much, just thought she was underage, lacked the ability to act alone, so forcibly contacted her parents.
Usually this kind of patient, after authorization from the parents over the phone, can sign by herself.
After all, Liu Wanting was an emergency patient.
...
After a while, Liu Su’an returned, carrying several bags filled with tea leaves, pens, and several packs of cigarettes: "Dr. Lu, I’m really sorry for just taking advantage without notifying you beforehand."
"Actually, this time I’m here to thank you, my daughter is naive, fortunately, Dr. Lu you have a benevolent heart."
"All the doctors have worked hard. This is a token of my appreciation."
Lu Cheng stood up quickly: "Uncle, there’s no need, this is too much. It’s not necessary to go to such expense, we cannot accept this."
Liu Su’an said: "These things aren’t worth much money, fifty for cigarettes, one hundred for tea leaves, pens are 6.5 when bought wholesale."
"There’s no envelopes or anything, Dr. Lu you can feel assured to accept them, I understand the rules."
"I work in a field related to healthcare outside, so I know your rules."
Lu Cheng said: "How about this, I’ll take the pens, please take the other things back."
"I’ll take all the pens in these few bags, these are valuable and hard currency."
Liu Su’an said: "Alright, Dr. Lu."
Following that, Liu Su’an took out a name card from his coat and handed it to Lu Cheng: "Dr. Lu, feel free to reach out when you have time, or if you ever make it to Shanghai, call me, I promise to be a good host."
"Of course, Dr. Lu, if it’s convenient, could you give me a WeChat or phone number? I promise I won’t disturb you." Liu Su’an’s gaze was sincere.
It could be seen, he wasn’t inherently violent, but rather a "middle-aged man" driven mad by his child.
"I don’t have a business card, you can scan my WeChat." Lu Cheng opened his phone, not daring to easily give his phone number.
Liu Su’an scanned it, then once again left with the bags, his steps somewhat lighter.
He didn’t explain to Lu Cheng the difficulty of disciplining kids, how hard his life is, these are negative emotions, and have little to do with Lu Cheng.
...
A bag of pens, quickly divided among everyone.
Everyone took a few pens, and Lu Cheng said: "Everyone keep them safe, these things typically don’t get returned, best to lock them up."
"This uncle knows how to give gifts."
Liu Nongqiu said: "Director Lu, about Liu Wanting, I also saw her when I was in the ward previously, but at that time, I just came and thought, her father seems a bit violent."
Lu Cheng replied: "Kids these days are hard to manage, indulging them too much doesn’t work, you really need to use some means."
Just as Lu Cheng was speaking, Lan Yuan from the Trauma Surgery department came over with a playful smile, holding two water bottles from the kiosk: "Brother Lu, do you have a moment now?"
"Ah, I’m not busy. Dr. Lan, what’s up?" Lan Yuan was the same age as Lu Cheng, younger by months, with a Master’s degree, acting as an attending physician in Trauma Surgery.
"Brother Lu, there was a bit of trouble in the operating room. Even our director came down, but still couldn’t get it fixed!"
"The patient is a relative of our Director Wu, so I recommended you to him."
"If you’re free, could you come take a look?" Lan Yuan’s tone was amicable.
As an on-duty frontline doctor, he knows Lu Cheng well, including his good handling of manual reduction.
Lu Cheng’s face stiffened slightly: "If even Director Wu couldn’t fix it, I hardly dare imagine trying."
Lu Cheng had heard of Director Wu Xiang but hadn’t met or interacted with him, certainly not underestimating his skills.
"It’s just helping out, more people mean more strength."
"Director Wu feels the same way." Lan Yuan continued inviting politely.
It’s hard to reject someone with a smiling face, plus the Trauma Center really had nothing going on, and Director Wu Xiang certainly showed consideration when dividing cases.
Lu Cheng agreed.
Watching Lu Cheng’s back, Dong Liumeng and Dai Linfang who had spent a fair amount of time in Xiangzhou began to whisper among themselves: "This Xiao Lu, there’s really something about him."
"I heard that before he got authorization, he behaved like a turtle."
"Now that he has authorization and is overseeing a region, he’s getting more proactive."
Dai Linfang nodded at this: "Professor Dong, isn’t the Emergency Department in need of such leadership?"
"If you always seek to smooth things over, you won’t cut it in Emergency."
"I think, starting today, it’s when Brother Lu can truly shine."
Dai Linfang scanned Dong Liumeng up and down, evidently aggressive.
Dong Liumeng’s body trembled slightly: "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing, I’m just wondering, Professor Dong, how long will you hold out..." Dai Linfang’s voice was ethereal, with a hint of schadenfreude.
