I practiced as a monk alone in Japan.

Chapter 161 The Sky Has Collapsed (5000 words~)

"What a pity, Yamaguchi. You didn't go last night. I ran into an absolutely gorgeous girl. What happened to your face?"

"Uh, I tripped and fell on my way home last night."

In the early morning, Zhaori Central Hospital is bustling with patients, nurses, and doctors.

Shinji Yamaguchi tried to conceal his face, wearing a mask and thick-rimmed glasses early in the morning to hide the injuries on his face.

After sobering up a night later, Shinji Yamaguchi felt a little regretful; he realized he had acted impulsively last night, his mind clouded by desire and inexplicable excitement.

Having already obtained leverage over someone, there's no need for such a rush.

It can gradually break down the other person's psychological defenses, but if one chooses to use it all at once, forcing the other person to comply, given Sakuraba Yuki's personality, it will definitely provoke her strong will to resist.

Only by dismantling her step by step, causing her to collapse from the inside out, can it be perfect and safe.

Even that unexpected incident occurred.
This situation seems difficult to handle; it's definitely not advisable to bring it up again for the next few days. What else can I do? I'll wait and see how Sakuraba Yuki reacts. This matter can't just be left like this.

That vile woman doesn't deserve to suffer such humiliation. And that boy shouldn't be spared either.

The question is, what can we do? As a doctor, I have many options. There's no rush. As for the threats the other party made before leaving...
At the time, Shinji Yamaguchi felt lingering fear and seemed quite uneasy. But after thinking about it, he figured he was probably overthinking it. Judging from his clothes and appearance, he didn't seem like a rich kid. What reason would he have to threaten him? Was he just causing trouble at the hospital?
That's too naive. Although I don't have any deep-rooted connections here, I'm quite adept at handling interpersonal relationships and have a good reputation. Without any evidence, he can't slander me. If he pushes me too far, I'll get a medical examination. He might really end up in jail!

"Hahaha, you tripped and fell? Well, that was quite a fall. We told you to come with us last night, but you insisted on going back first. Did you get things done?"

"Oh? Oh, nothing. I have to go to work now. I have quite a few patients scheduled for today, so I'll have to go later."

Despite the injury on his face, Shinji Yamaguchi still lacked the confidence to say anything and quickly returned to his office.

Even the nurses in the office were asking about the condition of his face, but Shinji Yamaguchi brushed them off one by one. After all, as a doctor, it would have a significant impact if something bad happened outside.

Competition within the industry is always present, so it's best to keep a low profile for now and wait until the injury on my face has healed a bit more.

The morning's clinic hours went smoothly; aside from a seemingly larger number of patients, there seemed to be no other unusual activity. This somewhat calmed the unease that had been weighing on Yamaguchi Shinji's mind.

Damn, I was still scared by him last night. I should have called the police and put him in jail!

"Hello~ Can I see a doctor now?"

The lingering afternoon sunlight made one drowsy when a rather melodious voice sounded at the doorway. Shinji Yamaguchi instinctively looked over.

Somewhat surprisingly, she was a very young-looking, innocent-looking girl with a baby face.

Long hair, fair skin. Her outfit wasn't particularly revealing, but it showed her navel and a pair of beautiful long legs.

For a moment, Shinji Yamaguchi was in a daze, almost thinking that he was in a private room instead of a hospital. The girl he had chosen had finally arrived in the room. However, his professionalism quickly brought him back to his senses.

He checked the appointment information on his computer; it was the last patient he would see that day.

"Is this Ms. Inoue?"

"Yes, I am Inoue."

The girl walked over, her youthful energy was like a breath of fresh air, and the fragrance she smelled was so much better than the ones I smelled in the bar last night.

Even their voices are so beautiful.
Shinji Yamaguchi wouldn't normally have reacted so strongly; the girl was clearly not as beautiful as Yuki Sakuraba. But perhaps what happened before still lingered in his mind.

Perhaps the girl was very outgoing and friendly. She sat down on the chair next to him, and as if infected by her aura, his heart couldn't help but flutter.

Indeed, doctors still have an advantage in this society.

However, he did not get carried away with his success, because one has to be careful about everything in the hospital.

Moreover, the presence of a nurse nearby serves as both monitoring and protection. Having a third person present helps avoid many potential misunderstandings.

"May I ask where you feel unwell? Please tell me in detail."

"Good doctor."

What followed seemed like a perfectly normal exchange: one person asked a question, and the other gave an answer.

Then, Ms. Rumi, the nurse in Shinji Yamaguchi's office, suddenly said, "Excuse me, Dr. Yamaguchi, I need to go out for a bit. Someone is looking for me."

Shinji Yamaguchi frowned subconsciously. How could he just leave during work hours?

However, although hospital regulations did not allow it, Shinji Yamaguchi, who considered himself quite adept at interpersonal relationships, did not want to refuse the other party's 'small request,' since they would be working together in the same place for a long time, and it would not be good to ruin their relationship.

And don't underestimate nurses. Where there are many women, there's much gossip. Who knows what kind of shocking news these women can create when they're all together? They might not do many good deeds, but they're more than capable of doing bad things.

"Okay, come back as soon as possible."

"Yes, thank you, Dr. Yamaguchi~"

The nurse left the room with light steps, leaving only Shinji Yamaguchi and the girl in front of him.

Before Shinji Yamaguchi could even speak, the girl in front of him blinked her big, watery eyes and said, "Dr. Yamaguchi is so kind~"

Shinji Yamaguchi paused for a moment, then replied somewhat embarrassedly, "It was nothing special, hardly a kind gesture."

"And he's so young and handsome to have become a doctor. That's amazing."

The girl's eyes seemed to light up, as if it were the most sincere praise, which made Shinji Yamaguchi's heart flutter for a moment.

Faced with such flattery from a young girl, one could attribute it to her lack of worldly experience, but there is no doubt that it satisfies a man's vanity.

"Actually, many of my colleagues are more capable than me, haha. Okay, your chest hurts, right? Let me hear it."

He picked up the stethoscope, but stopped a moment later. He needed to place it on the patient's chest to listen; that area was sensitive, and the nurse who had studied in the US wasn't there.
"Is there a problem, doctor?"

The girl blinked expectantly at Shinji Yamaguchi, seemingly having great faith in his professionalism, as even Shinji Yamaguchi couldn't solve her problems.

"Well... it's a bit difficult to touch certain areas, especially since the nurse isn't here. Why don't you carry it yourself? That might be better."

The girl wasn't surprised at all upon hearing this; instead, her face flushed slightly as she said, "Dr. Yamaguchi is so kind and considerate. He even thought of that. Thank you, Dr. Yamaguchi~"

That sweet, delicate voice.

Shinji Yamaguchi almost got goosebumps; he was really too good at it.
But now he naturally wanted to demonstrate his professionalism, "Here, put it a little to the left, and then a little higher."

"Here?"

The girl held the other end of the stethoscope, and the obvious change in the terrain when she pressed it surprised Shinji Yamaguchi, who wondered what material could produce such an effect.

Is there nothing to support me? Or am I not wearing anything?

He coughed, mainly to remind himself not to pay attention to things he shouldn't.

"Um... relax, you don't need to use so much force."

"What if you can't hear me clearly?"

The girl's eyes rippled like lake water.

Shinji Yamaguchi felt inexplicably dry and thirsty.
"Probably not."

"No, this is very important. How about this?"

The girl's words startled Shinji Yamaguchi.

Like this? Which way?
wait
"Clap."

He then clearly saw the other person's collar button undone, and a milky white expanse entered his vision.

Before he could react, he watched as the other person shoved the other end of the stethoscope inside.
The girl's face was flushed, her eyes looked dreamy as if they were wrapped with silk threads, and her voice sounded so intoxicating.

"Can the doctor hear me clearly?"

When Shinji Yamaguchi realized that the other person's legs were almost touching him without him noticing, he immediately woke up.

This can't go on like this!
It's not dark yet!
Why hasn't Liu from the US returned yet? If this continues, it'll be hard to explain if someone suddenly shows up.
He immediately became serious and said, "Uh, there's no need for that. I think it's better to..."

"Clap."

"Ouch!"

Shinji Yamaguchi's eyes immediately widened in disbelief.

Because the other person had actually unbuttoned the second button.

No! That's not right!

Then he saw the girl opposite him suddenly curl up the corners of her lips, and her radiant smile left Shinji Yamaguchi momentarily bewildered.

He didn't understand the meaning behind the other person's smile, but the next moment, he understood.

In front of him, the girl let her long hair down.

then.

"Tear!"

She lifted her leg and actually reached out and tore her stockings to shreds!
"Wait! What are you doing?!"

Shinji Yamaguchi realized something was wrong. He was certainly charming, and it was possible that a young girl like him might not be able to resist him, but they were still in the hospital! This was definitely...
"Don't rush, Dr. Yamaguchi, don't you like it?"

She approached Shinji Yamaguchi, tearing at her clothes as she did so; just moments before, she had been a vibrant and innocent young woman.

Now, she's like a victim who has been bullied.

victim?
Depend on! !

"Don't do anything reckless! There are security cameras here!"

Shinji Yamaguchi looked up and pointed to a corner of the room, then suddenly noticed that the light on the camera, which was supposed to be on, was off.

Wait! When was it turned off? What happened to my surveillance?!
"I"

Shinji Yamaguchi was somewhat confused and hadn't reacted yet.

"Crash!"

Suddenly, the girl in front of him swept everything off his desk, scattering it all over the floor.

The tornado didn't hit the parking lot; it hit his desktop.

The next moment, without a word, she pounced on Yamaguchi Shinji, the disheveled girl soft and fragrant in his arms. It should have been an exciting moment, but Yamaguchi Shinji was filled only with panic and terror. "No! Don't do this, I... Ah!"

Shinji Yamaguchi cried out in surprise, because the girl had bitten his arm!
The girl immediately pulled away from him, pinching her arm so hard she drew bruises, while shouting with disheveled hair.

"Help!"

"Help me!!"

Finished!

How could she?
Shinji Yamaguchi sat in his seat, eyes wide, ignoring the pain in his arm. He had already realized what was happening, but...
"boom!"

Just then, the door suddenly opened.

The nurse who hadn't been back in the US for a long time returned to the room at this moment, and she seemed quite surprised to see this scene.

"Dr. Yamaguchi, what is this?"

Looking at the girl with disheveled hair and exposed skin, and then at Shinji Yamaguchi, who was covered in sweat and looked pale, the answer seemed obvious.

Surely this can't be one of the treatment methods?
Shinji Yamaguchi opened his mouth, "Wait, I know this is hard to explain, but please let me explain!"

He was about to speak and explain, but Inoue, looking grief-stricken, immediately cried out, "Waaah, help! This doctor is trying to assault me! Help!"

"I didn't! What nonsense are you spouting? Shut up!"

Shinji Yamaguchi hurriedly stood up, wanting to approach the girl and tell her to shut up. What if she shouted like that and attracted everyone's attention?
But at that moment, the nurse who had studied in the US stood in front of Shinji Yamaguchi, blocking his path and speaking righteously.

"Dr. Yamaguchi, I don't think it's a good time for you to get close to her. Why don't you calm down first?"

Shinji Yamaguchi: ? ? ? You've become a champion of justice?

Then you should know that such an outrageous scene could not possibly be as she described!

"Studying in the US? No, what do you mean by calm! Can't you see this is slander? Don't you know who I am?!"

Liu Mei frowned. "I used to know, but I might not know now."

"???"

As Inoue cried out, people kept pouring into the corridor.

"What happened?"

"Wow, this is quite a big event. Is this a new project at your hospital?" This was a patient who loved watching the excitement.

He wasn't the only one; some patients even rushed over with their IV drips.

"Wow! This little girl is quite fair-skinned!"

"Isn't that Dr. Yamaguchi? What's going on here? Are they fighting?"

"Is a fight breaking out? Isn't that... you know...? But when did Dr. Yamaguchi become so horny? In broad daylight!"

"I don't think so. Dr. Yamaguchi wouldn't be that depressed, would he?"

"You beast!"

More and more people gathered around, whispering amongst themselves, leaving Shinji Yamaguchi anxious but unable to defend himself.

But the girl, who was squatting on the ground looking extremely aggrieved, seemed to get more excited the more people there were.

"Waaaaah, I never imagined your hospital would have such a beast! He told me he could hear my heartbeat, and then said it wasn't clear through my clothes, and made me take them off! When I refused, he tried to pull them off with his hands! Waaaaah, why did I have to encounter something like this? Why, waaaaah!"

"You're making baseless accusations!! I absolutely didn't! Why are you all looking at me like that? She tore her own clothes! It has nothing to do with me!"

When he saw more and more familiar faces casting suspicious glances at him, he felt betrayed by the whole world.

How polite and courteous he was to these people normally? He brought them coffee, helped them with their work, but in the end, they didn't even have basic trust in him? Did they really believe in such clumsy tactics?!

"This girl is crying so hard. Is it true?"

"It's hard to say. Although it seems unlikely in a hospital, we can't rule out the possibility that the money wasn't agreed upon."

"Tsk, that's possible. But isn't finding a patient a bit... a bit much?"

"No! I didn't do that, I'll say it again!! Damn it!!"

Hearing these comments, Shinji Yamaguchi was practically going crazy.

Seeing his ferocious face, everyone couldn't help but take a step back. Indeed, the whispers subsided considerably, but the suspicion on their faces grew stronger.

"Excuse me, the vice dean is here!"

A tall man with glasses and graying sideburns appeared at the door of the clinic.

Shinji Yamaguchi felt like he had found a savior. This Vice Dean Kikuta was the senior who thought highly of him, and he must know his character!

He rushed over eagerly and began to explain.

"Dean! Dean, you must believe me, I would never do such a thing, I..."

Kikuta's attitude was colder than he had imagined, and he glanced around.

Then he said in a cold voice.

"Aren't you all doing anything else?! Nurse who studied in the US, please calm the patient down. And to this patient, please rest assured, we will investigate thoroughly and will not protect any of these hypocrites. Please calm down."

Then he looked coldly at Shinji Yamaguchi.

"You come with me."

As Shinji Yamaguchi followed Kikuta toward the office, looking utterly dejected, he could almost feel the countless speculative and suspicious gazes that seemed to turn into swords piercing his back.

He felt he had figured out what was going on.

It must have been that boy's despicable trick! How could he use such a vicious and despicable method!

No, I must explain myself clearly to clear my name, otherwise how can I stay in the hospital with such a reputation?
But when Vice Dean Kikuta looked at him, "What are you going to explain?"

When he asked the question, he opened his mouth, but couldn't bring himself to say what had happened last night. Was he supposed to say that he had threatened someone, thus incurring retaliation?
But not explaining is even worse. I can't let my career end here.

He forced himself to speak.

"Please believe me, Dean. With my professional ethics and character, I would never do such a thing. Even if I were desperate, I would never choose to do this in the hospital. Someone must be trying to frame me, or that girl is trying to blackmail me!"

Kikuta sat in the chair, his expression unreadable.

"I really want to believe what you're saying, but why were you and her the only two people in the examination room when it happened?"

"Because, because Liu Mei said someone was looking for her and she had to leave for a bit, so I..."

"You just agreed? What about the hospital's rules and regulations? Can the surveillance footage show everything that happened between you?"

Kikuta asked again.

Shinji Yamaguchi felt an even greater sense of desolation. "I...I don't know when it started, but the security cameras in my clinic were turned off."

"Snapped!"

Kikuta slammed his hand on the table.

"No one can testify, and the surveillance cameras are off. How can I believe you?! What do you think the hospital's rules and regulations are for? They're meant to prevent these kinds of unclear situations from happening! Now she's making a scene, accusing you of bullying her. You have no evidence to prove you didn't do it, so what are we going to do now?!"

Shinji Yamaguchi was in a state of utter confusion; he truly had no better solution.

All he could do was keep bowing and apologizing to Kikuta.

"I...I don't know, but I really didn't do those things, I really didn't! Dean, please...please believe me, I was just careless for a moment, I'm definitely not that kind of person."

“I also believe you’re not that kind of person.” Kikuta sighed, whether out of respect for the young man’s potential or out of a soft heart, it was hard to tell.

He thought for a moment and said, "There's only one way now: to coordinate with that patient. Don't make this a big deal out of it. I'll give you a few days off, and you can only come back once things have calmed down a bit."

"Coordination? But I really haven't done that."

Shinji Yamaguchi was very unwilling, because if he tried to mediate, it would mean that he would no longer be in the right, and he had only been working for a short time and had only earned a small amount of money. Was he going to lose it all? It might not even be enough!

Kikuta looked coldly at Yamaguchi Shinji. "So you're going to sue them? But let me warn you first, if you're going to sue, you'd better take off your white coat first! Do you understand what I mean? You only have these two options, otherwise no one can help you!"

Shinji Yamaguchi, however unwilling, had no choice but to accept the reality of the situation.

Regardless, we must first overcome the current difficulties and secure our future.
"I understand, I will do as you say."

Kikuta stood up, sighed, and patted Shinji Yamaguchi on the shoulder.

“I know who you are, but there’s nothing I can do. Try your best to meet the other party’s demands and avoid causing any more trouble. I still hope you can stay at our hospital.”

Shinji Yamaguchi looked at the other person with some emotion.

Just as I was about to say something.

"Dong dong dong."

"Dean, the police are looking for you."

"police?"

Kikuta paused for a moment, then opened the door.

Shinji Yamaguchi was also stunned. What were the police doing here? Had the other party already called the police?
A tall, smart-looking policewoman appeared at the office door. She immediately showed her work badge and then spoke in a cold and serious tone.

"Are you Director Kikuta? I'm Chinatsu Morita from the Shōri Police Station. We received a report that contraband was being kept in Shinji Yamaguchi's clinic at your hospital. This is a search warrant."

In that instant, Shinji Yamaguchi felt as if the ceiling above his head had suddenly collapsed.

He was crushed instantly by a giant black hand.
