Chapter Two: Reducing Him to a Beggar Long Cheng hadn't shown up for dinner that evening, but Zhang Yang did receive a call from him.

District Chief Liang had gone to the municipal government today to see his backer, but unfortunately, it proved useless; he was taken away directly at the government building.

His younger brother was more useless than he had imagined. After being taken in, he spilled everything, even implicating his older brother. The Disciplinary Committee was preparing to send someone to investigate him anyway, so this turn of events conveniently allowed them to make the arrest immediately.

Besides his brother's confession, the Disciplinary Committee also uncovered numerous letters of complaint, subsequently leading to a search of District Chief Liang's residence.

The search uncovered quite a bit; just in savings accounts, millions were found, and there were even more valuables like gold and watches. When these pieces of evidence were laid out before District Chief Liang, he completely collapsed.

Following that, he confessed to even more issues, though none of them were related to Zhang Yang.

Hanging up Long Cheng's call, Zhang Yang shook his head with a sigh of emotion.

This reminded him of later generations, where many officials appeared successful on the surface but simply couldn't withstand an investigation; once looked into, trouble always surfaced. If District Chief Liang hadn't had the misfortune of crossing him, perhaps no one would have bothered investigating him.

As long as he wasn't scrutinized, he would still be the infinitely prestigious Deputy District Chief, avoiding today's outcome.

After ending the call, Zhang Yang also informed Long Feng about the matter.

Long Feng merely nodded, saying nothing.

The biggest reason the Long family handled the matter so swiftly was because Long Feng was involved. Long Cheng's call to him was, in essence, a report to Long Feng as well.

He was informing Long Feng that the person who offended them had been dealt with.

Zhang Yang was perfectly aware of this but didn't pay it much mind. Taking down a corrupt official was good, but even without the Long family's intervention, Zhang Yang could have resolved that trouble himself.

Hu Xin and Gu Cheng only had one day of relaxation.

The next day, they were back to driving for hire. The work was arduous but fulfilling, filling them with increasing hope for the future.

Meanwhile, Mi Xue accompanied Nannan and Xiao Dai to the Women's Federation. Lawyer Hu had already made arrangements; the Federation would look after the matter for them. (--Net)

Mi Xue and the others did not ask Zhang Yang to accompany them, as it would be inappropriate for a man to tag along, making them feel constrained.

Seeing that it was still early, Zhang Yang headed directly to the hospital. The incident with the previous patient had caused some unpleasantness between him and the Third Hospital, and Zhang Yang intended to resolve that matter as soon as possible.

Before resolving it, he still needed to complete the work he was supposed to do.

"Doctor Zhang, you're here!"

Upon arriving at the hospital, Zhang Yang habitually went first to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department; he was currently still considered an intern in that department.

Everyone who saw Zhang Yang greeted him politely, whether they were interns or the original doctors—it was the same for all.

He didn't know that after saving that life last time, his reputation at the hospital had reached another peak, a pinnacle others couldn't hope to reach.

A patient whom every doctor in the hospital had deemed hopeless, whom even the Provincial Hospital dared not admit and whose specialists were at a loss, had been saved by him, and saved so thoroughly that their physical condition was better than before.

In the past few days, quite a few hospital personnel had taken the opportunity to secretly observe the person Zhang Yang had saved last time.

The patient Zhang Yang rescued had practically returned to normal before their very eyes; even his asthma had significantly improved. If he hadn't been somewhat weak physically, he would have been perfectly healthy.

Especially those who had seen the patient's initial condition could hardly believe that Zhang Yang could save someone like that. Every doctor, including Xu Wu, the Director of Internal Medicine, called it a miracle.

And it was a miracle created by Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang was unaware of this, and even if he knew, he wouldn't say much.

The patient had merely suffered a severe allergic reaction to medication. The onset was fierce, but once suppressed, there would be no issue.

The medicine Zhang Yang used was a spirit medicine, refined from genuine rare treasures. The Three-Colored Fruit, which took one thousand five hundred years to mature, was far beyond comparison with ordinary pharmaceuticals.

Such a spirit medicine had not only saved his life but had also fundamentally altered his constitution.

This patient had turned misfortune into a blessing, perhaps. Whether he would live to be a hundred years old remained to be seen, but at least living healthily without worry would be absolutely fine; he probably wouldn't even catch a common cold. (--Net)

"Zhang Yang, you've arrived!"

The Director of Gynecology, Wang Guohai, happened to be in the main office. Seeing Zhang Yang, his eyes immediately lit up, and he greeted Zhang Yang with a hearty laugh.

In the entire Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, few people commanded such a welcoming demeanor from Director Wang.

"Hello, Director Wang!" Zhang Yang replied with a smile.

"You've arrived at the perfect time. There's a rather tricky patient here. Dr. Zhao was originally in charge, but now, just hand them over to you!"

Wang Guohai spoke to Zhang Yang without reservation, then instructed someone to fetch the patient's medical records.

Zhang Yang was slightly taken aback but nodded nonetheless.

Since he was at the hospital, it counted as being on duty. Having a patient entrusted to him signified trust, and he would perform the work required.

The medical records were quickly brought over. Zhang Yang frowned after reading for only a moment.

The patient suffered from mammary gland hyperplasia. This is a common gynecological ailment that many women contract. Generally, as long as it is controlled, such conditions do not lead to major problems.

This patient was different; her condition had mutated, turning into a variant cyst, though not as severe as cancerous transformation.

Moreover, this patient had issues stemming from an unsuccessful surgery, and she had been lingering in the hospital.

After reviewing the chart, Zhang Yang helplessly shook his head.

Another complicated case. This patient had been hospitalized for over half a year; they likely asked him to try only as a last resort.

This time, Zhang Yang hadn't guessed wrong.

The Obstetrics and Gynecology Department already had two ticking time bombs; Zhang Yang had resolved one, and one remained.

In the last few days, although Zhu Zhixiang hadn't said much, Wang Guohai clearly sensed that Zhu Zhixiang was considering transferring Zhang Yang out. Zhang Yang's medical skill had been confirmed again, and this time it was even more astonishing.

Many people claimed it was a waste to keep a divine doctor like Zhang Yang in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. Under pressure, Wang Guohai could only hurry to have Zhang Yang help resolve the remaining problem.

However, Wang Guohai was unaware that Zhu Zhixiang considered transferring Zhang Yang for more than just this one reason.

"I'd like to see the patient first," Zhang Yang said softly. Since the patient was entrusted to him, he would take responsibility. This case was troublesome, but it couldn't be more troublesome than terminal illnesses.

Helping the patient relieve their suffering would make Zhang Yang happy too.

"No problem, I'll take you!"

Wang Guohai laughed heartily. In another hospital, it would feel strange for a department director to personally escort an intern to see a patient.

But at the Third Hospital, concerning Zhang Yang, this was perfectly natural. Everyone knew Zhang Yang was their hospital's most formidable intern; it wouldn't be surprising if even the Hospital Director accompanied him.

Zhang Yang took the patient's pulse and asked a few questions before nodding.

The patient had a mutated cyst. Treating it wasn't inherently complex; an operation could resolve it. However, the previous surgery had encountered issues, making a second operation very difficult.

Without absolute certainty, no one dared attempt such a procedure, so the patient was left waiting.

"I have a way. How about this: I will spend three days preparing the patient. If everything is ready after three days, I will personally perform the surgery, and I am confident of over ninety percent success!"

After leaving the patient's room, Zhang Yang told Wang Guohai this. The surgery was complex and difficult, but fortunately, Zhang Yang had performed similar procedures before—he had done them in his previous life.

He had some experience with such operations and felt confident in resolving it.

"Really? That's wonderful! I will arrange everything for you in three days!"

Wang Guohai exclaimed excitedly.

He had a feeling that no matter how complex or difficult the illness, there would be no issue in entrusting it to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang truly deserved the title of 'Divine Doctor.'

Before handing the patient over this time, he had a premonition that Zhang Yang would not disappoint him.

And the result confirmed it; Zhang Yang truly didn't let him down, immediately proposing the surgery and stating he had over ninety percent confidence.

Ninety percent! For a doctor, that was a very high probability. Even for minor surgeries, an experienced physician wouldn't guarantee one hundred percent success, as anything could happen during an operation.

If there were one hundred percent certainty, there would be no need for family consent forms; that was the hospital's way of mitigating risk.

After seeing this patient, Wang Guohai dragged Zhang Yang to see several other more complicated cases.

The attending physicians for each patient came over, and Zhang Yang offered his suggestions for every case. Although he wasn't the primary physician, his advice was excellent and greatly insightful for every doctor.

It wasn't until the afternoon closing time that Zhang Yang finally managed to free up some time. He had seen dozens of patients in one day.

Wang Guohai seemed to be using him like a machine; Wu Youdao had visited several times, but Zhang Yang was too busy to greet him.

After work, Zhang Yang finally made time to visit Wang Chen's ward.

Wang Chen was in a VIP room. His situation was similar to the previous patient; after taking the spirit medicine, he only needed time to recover. It could be said that he had benefited from the misfortune, as ordinary people rarely got to consume spirit medicine.

Looking at Long Feng, one could understand this point; even Long Feng, an expert in Inner Force, had to queue for spirit medicine.

If Zhang Yang hadn't been lucky enough to obtain the thousand-year ginseng and accidentally acquire the Three-Colored Fruit to concoct a batch of spirit medicine, he wouldn't have had this opportunity to use it to save lives.

"Zhang Yang, you're here!"

Wang Chen had a mobile phone near his ear, apparently talking to someone. When he saw Zhang Yang, his eyes instantly lit up. If it weren't for the casts on several parts of his body, he would have jumped up.

"Even alone, you won't behave. Don't you want to be discharged sooner?"

Zhang Yang casually placed the flowers and fruit basket he had bought aside; since he was visiting, it was improper to arrive empty-handed, so he brought something small as a token.

"Look at me, how could I possibly misbehave!"

Wang Chen immediately retorted, then excitedly exclaimed, "You didn't call me for the incident the day before yesterday! If I had come along, I would have beaten that guy until he looked like a pig's head. Oh right, I've already spoken to my uncle. Didn't you say you wanted to bankrupt that restaurant owner? Don't worry, I'll directly reduce him to a beggar!"

As Zhang Yang walked over, Wang Chen's words nearly made him stumble. Long Feng, who was trailing right behind Zhang Yang, stared at him in astonishment at this moment. (Book Network)
