"stand up."

Lin Li looked at the girl kneeling on the ground and said coldly, "This is a public place. Don't embarrass yourself here."

"I'm not getting up!"

Jingqin stubbornly shook her head, gripping Lin Li's trouser legs with both hands. "Unless you promise to save Sister Rongrong, I'll stay kneeling here forever!"

As the elevator slowly descended, the surrounding chatter grew louder and louder.

"Oh dear, this young man is so heartless! The girl is already kneeling down, how can he still act like this?"

An older woman couldn't stand it anymore and started pointing and commenting.

"Yeah, this girl is crying so hard, she must be going through something tough. How can this guy have no sympathy at all?"

"Young people these days have absolutely no manners!"

A middle-aged man dressed in a suit, looking quite respectable, leered at Jingqin, pretending to be kind as he approached her to help her up.

"Oh dear, little girl, get up, get up, the ground is cold. This man doesn't know what's good for him, let me help you..."

As he spoke, he reached out to put his hand on Jingqin's shoulder, intending to take the opportunity to grope her.

"roll!"

Jingqin glared fiercely at the man and shouted sharply, "Don't touch me! I'm Jingwen's daughter! If you dare touch me, I'll make sure you rot in jail!"

Jingwen!

Jiangcheng City Procuratorate Chief Prosecutor!

The middle-aged man's hand froze in mid-air, his expression changed, and he immediately shrank into the corner of the elevator.

Those who had been pointing and whispering around were startled when they heard the name and immediately shut their mouths.

However, after a brief silence, they looked at Lin Li again.

"Who is this man? How dare he make Dean Jing's daughter kneel down?"

"He's definitely a heartless man!"

"That's outrageous! The girl is begging him like that, and he's still putting on airs!"

"This kind of person is heartless! He doesn't deserve to be called a man!"

Lin Li's expression grew increasingly cold.

He looked down at Jingqin kneeling on the ground, and a nameless anger welled up in his heart.

Is this moral blackmail?

Just because you're weak, just because you knelt down, does that mean I have to agree to your demands? Even if that patient is my father's killer?

"I told you to get up!"

Lin Li grabbed Jing Qin's arm and forcibly pulled her up from the ground.

He was very strong, and his grip hurt Jingqin a lot, but she bit her lip tightly and didn't utter a sound.

"Mr. Lin... please..."

She tearfully recounted, "Dean Du said that only genuine ancient medical techniques could offer a glimmer of hope for Sister Rongrong's condition."

"You are our last hope... If you don't save her, she really will die..."

"Is she a doctor?"

Hearing this, the people around them became even more excited.

"Oh, you're a doctor! Isn't saving lives a doctor's duty?"

"Exactly! What kind of doctor would refuse to treat someone in distress? They have absolutely no medical ethics!"

"How can someone like that deserve to wear a white coat? We should report him! Revoke his medical license!"

"I think he's just trying to extort money from us! People's hearts have changed so much!"

Hearing this incoherent rambling, Lin Li finally snapped.

"Shut up, all of you!"

His eyes were bloodshot as he surveyed the so-called "righteous bystanders" in the elevator, his chest heaving, his voice hoarse and filled with indignation: "What do you know?! You know nothing and yet you spout nonsense here!"

"Medical ethics? Saving lives and healing the wounded?"

Lin Li glared at Jing Qin and roared, "That poor patient you're talking about is the murderer who killed my father!"

"That's my father's killer!!!"

"If it were you! Would you go to save the murderer who killed your own father?! Huh?!"

The elevator fell silent instantly, and everyone stared at Lin Li with fear in their eyes.

The murderer of his father...

The middle-aged woman who had been the most vehemently criticizing Lin Li earlier was now shrinking back, afraid to look him in the eye.

Ding.

The elevator doors opened on the first floor.

Those who had originally wanted to watch the spectacle immediately rushed out of the elevator, no longer daring to stay any longer.

Lin Li strode out of the elevator, sat down on a waiting chair in the lobby, put his hands behind his head, and didn't say a word.

Jingqin stood cautiously in front of Lin Li, not daring to speak, only silently shedding tears.

"Mr. Lin..."

After a long silence, she finally mustered her courage and whispered, "I know this is very unfair to you. But... it really was an accident back then..."

"Sister Rongrong, she was a victim too. That car accident not only took your father's life, but also ruined her life."

"For the past three years, she has been lying in bed, neither alive nor dead. This must have been torture for her and for us as well."

"Mr. Lin, please... save her..."

At this moment, Zhou Pei, Chai Yuxian, and Fu Kai also ran out of another elevator.

Fu Kai and Chai Yuxian supported each other, their faces pale and blood still dripping from their lips. But he dared not utter a single complaint, only lowering his head and looking at Lin Li with fear.

The four people stood in front of Lin Li, not daring to breathe, quietly waiting for his decision.

Time passed by, second by second.

Every second was torture for them.

Finally, after nearly twenty minutes, Lin Li spoke up: "I can help her with her medical treatment."

"real?!"

Zhou Pei exclaimed in surprise.

"but."

Lin Li interrupted her cheers and said expressionlessly, "I have three conditions."

"Tell me! Don't just say three, we'd agree to three hundred!"

Chai Yuxian quickly replied.

"First, I can't guarantee that I can save him. The awakening of a person in a vegetative state is a medical miracle in itself, and I can only do my best."

"Secondly, I need to retrieve all her medical records from the past three years, including all examination reports and imaging data."

"third."

Lin Li paused, then looked coldly at the four of them. "If I manage to revive her, and the truth of what happened back then isn't what you're saying... I will kill her with my own hands."

The four of them felt a chill run down their spines, as if a cold air rushed from the soles of their feet to the tops of their heads.

But they had no choice but to save Yuan Rongrong.

"Okay! We agree!"

Jingqin gritted her teeth and nodded, "We believe in Sister Rongrong! What happened back then was definitely an accident!"

"go back."

Lin Li stood up and walked towards the elevator again.

……

The intensive care unit was filled with a group of doctors and nurses.

The person in the lead was a middle-aged woman in a white coat. She was Yuan Rongrong's attending physician and the director of the Department of Neurology at the Military Medical University, Li Xiaojuan.

Standing next to her was an elderly man with gray hair, Du Changqing, the president of the affiliated hospital of the military medical university.

"Nonsense! Absolutely nonsense!"

Li Xiaojuan glared at Chai Yuxian and the others, and snapped, "What do you take this hospital for? Do you think you can just agree to anything that requires saving a life and treating an illness?"

"Also, the nurse just said someone here was assaulting someone. Where is that thug? I've already called the police! This kind of dangerous person must be arrested!"
