Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 228 - 143: Justice Restored, Gratitude Together
"Uh... my dad had an examination here, and Dr. Li told him that the clinic couldn’t treat his illness. My dad wanted a refund of the hundred yuan examination fee, but Dr. Li refused, so my dad caused a scene at the clinic. He publicly said a lot of bad things about Sunshine Clinic, which created a terrible impact, and I thought of coming here to redeem myself."
Kuang Shuqin carefully picked some unimportant things to say.
But the truth about the matter was not mentioned at all.
"You’re lying. Just now outside, what I learned about the situation wasn’t like that."
The female journalist rebuked him sternly.
"Young man, since you’re unwilling to tell the truth, we can only take you back to the police station for a thorough investigation."
Upon hearing that he was to be taken to the police station, Kuang Shuqin, inexperienced in worldly matters, thought it meant he was being arrested.
His face turned white instantly.
"I’ll talk, I’ll talk!"
He knew he couldn’t hide it anymore but was still worried that it would lead to his father being arrested, so he was quickly thinking about how to tell the truth without getting his father imprisoned.
"Don’t think about deceiving us. It’s illegal to lie to the police. Moreover, we’ll be asking the clinic’s owner, employees, the surrounding residents, and even visit your home to meet your parents for investigation."
After such a stern warning, Kuang Shuqin became honest this time.
Dared not to play any clever tricks anymore.
"This is what happened: my dad was diagnosed with cancer, and it’s in the terminal stage..." Kuang Shuqin candidly recounted the entire sequence of events, and after listening, the police’s expressions were very serious.
The female journalist kept taking notes, with a slight excitement in her expression.
Finally, she had unearthed some authentic news material.
This news turned out to be more exciting than she imagined. Today’s visit wasn’t in vain.
She looked at Li Jingsheng and Sunshine Clinic with much more softened expressions.
Though the clinic owner is somewhat unsympathetic, this place is indeed her lucky spot.
Including today’s news, she’s already uncovered three pieces of news from here.
Although the last news piece wasn’t published for being too incomplete and lacking value.
She still exchanged a decent piece of news material with Sister Mei from the TV station.
The news garnered today, based on her years of experience, will certainly pass the review and likely stir a considerable reaction.
"Your father knew he had cancer but didn’t tell the clinic’s doctors and wanted to have them treat him, then extort a huge sum as bride price for you. This is illegal, you know?"
"We know we’re wrong. Please, officers, considering my dad doesn’t have much time left, spare him this time. I’m willing to compensate the clinic for the losses and try my best to eliminate any negative impacts caused to Sunshine Clinic."
Kuang Shuqin pleaded sincerely with the police.
"As long as his family can eliminate the negative impact they caused our clinic, I’m willing not to pursue the matter."
Li Jingsheng expressed his stance on the side.
When the patient caused a scene here the day before yesterday, it truly made people insanely angry.
Now that the matter is resolved, Li Jingsheng wouldn’t push people to a dead end.
Meanwhile, Kuang Shuqin’s parents somehow got wind of the news. Kuang Shuqin’s father was helped inside the clinic by two people.
"Shuqin, what trouble have you gotten into?"
Kuang Shuqin’s mother hurried over to her son in a few quick steps, grasping Kuang Shuqin’s hand and anxiously inquiring.
Kuang Shuqin just lowered his head, biting his lip hard.
"Who are you to him?"
The police saw three people come in at once and asked on the spot.
"I am his mother, this is the child’s father. He’s our neighbor; I’m unable to support my husband alone, so I asked the neighbor for help. Can you tell me what wrongdoing my son is involved in?"
"Your son was hanging that sign and beating a gong outside the clinic to eliminate the negative impact you caused Sunshine Clinic the day before yesterday, resulting in a traffic blockage."
Kuang Shuqin’s parents looked at that sign.
And their expressions turned decidedly sorrowful on the spot.
"Shuqin, you said you were going to work overtime these past days, is this what you were doing outside the clinic?"
His mother was already a crying mess.
His father was in tears, unable to make a sound.
Neither anticipated that their introverted, face-conscious son would be willing to hang such a shameful sign and stand on the street beating a gong to attract the gaze of passersby to redeem his father.
Needless to say, their son made great sacrifices to make amends for his father.
"I... I went to Second Hospital to find a doctor, who said there’s a method to reset my dad’s bones which bears significant risk. The condition is that we must first eliminate Sunshine Clinic’s negative repercussions, then go to him to discuss treatment. I saw Dad couldn’t walk, couldn’t even sit, lying down would lead to constant pain cries, and I just wanted to quickly remove Sunshine Clinic’s negative effects and then get Dad treated."
After hearing Kuang Shuqin’s words, everyone fell into silence.
Kuang Shuqin’s parents cried more vehemently.
The atmosphere in Sunshine Clinic turned particularly sorrowful.
Even Li Jingsheng felt a sense of blockage and discomfort in his heart at this moment.
"You are this young man’s father, right?"
"I am."
"You knew you were terminally ill but deliberately went to Sunshine Clinic to get treated, concealing the truth from the doctor, intending to extort them for a large sum of money. This is illegal; you’ll need to come with us for further investigation back at the police station."
"All this wrongdoing, all the mistakes were mine, causing my son to suffer such great ordeals, I shouldn’t even continue living."
Kuang Shuqin’s father expressed profound self-blame, observing his son who had done so much for him, feeling touched yet sorrowful.
