Sent to the countryside, I turned the health center into a top-tier hospital.

Sure enough, less than half an hour later, a police car pulled up in front of the health center.

Two traffic police officers helped lift the old man down and carried him into the health center on a stretcher.

The two women followed behind. When they entered the courtyard, the younger one glared fiercely at Chen Ping, her eyes filled with a venomous look that seemed to want to tear a piece of flesh from him.

Chen Ping stood at the door of the consultation room, didn't even look at her, and turned back into the consultation room.

Wang Tao came out of the treatment room and approached the stretcher. His expression changed quickly, adopting a businesslike demeanor: "Put it here, put it here, let's do some initial treatment."

"Our health center has limited resources and can't perform major surgeries. We can only stop the bleeding and bandage the wounds, then wait for the county hospital's ambulance to come and pick us up."

The traffic police nodded and carried the person into the processing room.

The old man was placed on the examination bed, still groaning and complaining of pain.

The two women were stopped at the door. Wang Tao turned around and went inside, closing the door behind him.

Then, screams of agony came from inside.

The sound was sharp and long, one after another, interspersed with a few indistinct pleas for mercy and sobs, echoing back and forth in the corridor several times.

The two women in the courtyard heard this, their faces filled with anxiety and resentment. They gritted their teeth and looked towards the treatment room, but they couldn't see anything.

The screams rang out intermittently for more than ten minutes, eventually fading into weak groans.

When Wang Tao came out of the treatment room, he had a light sweat on his forehead. He took off his gloves and threw them into the trash can. He glanced in the direction of Chen Ping's clinic, unable to suppress the urge to smile.

"We've already done some basic treatment, just wait for the ambulance!" Wang Tao said to the two women.

Two women ran into the treatment room and saw the old man lying on the bed, groaning and complaining of pain.

The county hospital's ambulance will take at least two hours to get here, so let the old man wait patiently.

Two traffic police officers went to the street to take photos and collect evidence to handle the accident.

Hearing their father cry out in pain, the two women were frantic, but no one at the clinic paid them any attention.

The young woman couldn't sit still any longer as she listened to her father's constant moans in the treatment room.

She stood up and paced around the room twice, then gritted her teeth, walked out of the treatment room, and headed towards Zhao Guosheng's office.

Zhao Guosheng was sitting behind his desk flipping through a newspaper when he heard the door being pushed open without knocking. He looked up and saw the woman standing in the doorway. His expression changed instantly. He lowered his eyelids, pretending not to see her, and ignored her completely.

Seeing that Zhao Guosheng ignored her, the woman stood at the door rubbing her hands together and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Director Zhao... you see, my father's leg is injured like this, could your clinic give him some painkillers? He's in so much pain..."

Zhao Guosheng slowly raised his head and looked at the woman: "Painkillers? We have them at our clinic, but we wouldn't dare give you our medicines for home use without permission."

"Last time your father came to us for treatment, our Dr. Chen kindly prescribed some medicine, but what happened? You took the medicine and then lay on the ground claiming that the medicine made him sick, and you managed to extort a thousand yuan from him and leave."

"If we use the medicine from our clinic again this time, I'm afraid it'll be like throwing good money after bad, and we'll be the ones who get ripped off. If they try to extort money from us, we'll be the ones who get ripped off."

The woman's face flushed red, her lips trembled, and her voice lowered slightly: "Dean Zhao, it was all a misunderstanding... My father was confused that time, there was nothing we could do..."

"Misunderstand?"

Zhao Guosheng chuckled, a laugh laced with coldness. "A misunderstanding for a thousand yuan, that's not cheap at all. I'll make things clear to you today. Who in Siping Township doesn't know about your little affair?"

"You've just extorted money and now you're running back to ask the doctor to save your life? There's no such thing as a free lunch. If your father is really in unbearable pain, then wait for the county hospital's ambulance to arrive. Our clinic is too small to accommodate such a big shot like you."

"Then you can try to extort money from the county hospital. The county hospital has more money than us, so you can extort even more."

The woman was speechless after hearing Zhao Guosheng's words; she opened her mouth several times but couldn't utter a single word.

She stood at the door for several seconds, then turned around, lowered her head, and walked towards the treatment room. Since she had chosen to extort money to make a living, she should have known that this day would come sooner or later.

She had just reached the corner of the corridor when she ran into the driver who had hit her.

The driver was standing in the corridor, holding his phone, as if he was looking for someone.

The woman's eyes reddened the moment she saw him. She rushed forward, grabbed the driver's collar, and her voice rose sharply: "You hit my dad and injured him like this! What are you going to do about it?! You need to pay the medical bills first! Five thousand! Otherwise, you're not going anywhere!"

The driver was pulled back a bit by her. After regaining his balance, he looked down at her hand that was gripping his collar, and then slowly pried her fingers apart one by one.

His tone was quite calm, without the panic he had shown at the beginning when he hit the person, probably because he knew that this family was trying to extort money.

"My car is insured, and I will pay every penny I owe, but I will not pay a single cent out of pocket."

"The accident report hasn't been issued yet, so we don't know who's at fault. Your old man suddenly rushed out of the alley; I even suspected you were trying to scam me."

The woman was speechless; the sound of her shout was stuck in her throat, unable to come up or go down.

The driver ignored her, walked past her and went straight to Zhao Guosheng's office. He knocked on the door frame and went in, already taking out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

Then he pulled out a cigarette and handed it over: "Dean Zhao, I need your help with something. I saw a security camera at the intersection just now, near your clinic. Could you show me what happened? We need to figure out who's responsible after something like this, so I can have some peace of mind."

Zhao Guosheng took the cigarette, glanced at it, tucked it behind his ear, and nodded: "Okay, our clinic's surveillance cameras are right there at that intersection, they'll get a clear picture. Liu Mazi!"

He called out to the outside.

Liu Mazi ran over from the guardhouse, "Dean, what's wrong?"

"Pull up the video from the security camera at the entrance and make a copy for this driver," Zhao Guosheng said, pointing to the driver.

Liu Mazi responded and led the driver to the monitoring room.

The young woman stood in the corridor, watching the driver and Liu Mazi walk into the monitoring room one after the other, then glanced at the half-open door of Zhao Guosheng's office, her lips turning white from biting them.

She stood there stunned for a few seconds, then turned around and slowly walked back to the treatment room.

Chen Ping sat in his consultation room, continuing to see patients, his expression calm, seemingly unaffected.

Wang Tao, on the other hand, was beaming with excitement, chatting away with Zhou Jie and Sun Xiaoyan.

It was so satisfying to hear that the old man was writhing in pain.

"If evil people do evil and go unpunished, it is a disservice to all good people in the world," Chen Ping suddenly blurted out.

Wang Tao, Zhou Jie, and Sun Xiaoyan were all taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.
