nThe weather in June had changed.

nThe cloudless sky was instantly filled with thunderstorm clouds!

n

n

nLu Ming was driving and humming out of tune, accompanied by the sound of thunder.

nIn the morning, he had received a call from overseas, saying that they wanted to meet him at This Place Hospital and introduce him to the hospital staff.

nAs he happened to be quite free, he drove to the hospital.

nThe sound of traffic seemed to have stopped abruptly.

n

n

nLu Ming stared intently at the scene not far away!

nAn eye-catching purple sports car was speeding along as an old man with a crutch was walking on the pedestrian crossing.

nIt was clearly a red light, but the car did not slow down at all and crashed right into the old man!

nThe old man was sent flying!

n

n

nThe sports car stopped for a few seconds. The old man seemed to be still alive.

nThe driver in the car immediately reversed his car, as if he was determined to kill him!

nLu Ming got out of his car hurriedly. “What are you doing! Are you killing people on the streets?!”

nWhen the driver of the purple car saw that there was a witness, he sped away, afraid that someone would recognize his face.

nLu Ming could not catch up with him even if he wanted to. He could only help the seriously injured old man up. He said loudly, “Are you alright?!”

nBut the noise of the heavy rain drowned out his voice.

n

n

nThe old man opened his mouth, but could not utter anything.

nPerhaps Lu Ming did not hear it.

nHe looked around. There were no passers-by in this weather.

nHence, he could only carry the old man into his car by himself.

nHe immediately started the engine and darted off!

nThe old man slowly opened his eyes. “Where… are you taking me…?”

nLu Ming glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and said, “I’m taking you to the hospital now. Bear with it for now and don’t fall asleep.”

n“Thank you… young man…”

n

n

nThe old man held his stomach and said with much difficulty.

nBlood was flowing out quickly from between his fingers onto the entire front passenger seat.

nLu Ming stopped the car and quickly took the first aid box from the backseat.

nSong Xueran had left it in his car just in case.

nHe had thought that he would not have use for such things, but who knew that he would be slapped in the face so soon?

nHe did not have any medical skills, so he learned emergency bandaging from Zhou Lu.

nAs long as he drove fast enough, the old man should be able to make it to the hospital!

nAt the thought of this, he drove faster, but his hands were still trembling.

nIt was his first time seeing someone injured, so he was still a little unfamiliar with what to do. He was afraid that he might accidentally worsen the other party’s injuries.

nAs he was almost done with bandaging the wound, he realized that it was too loose to stop the bleeding.

nThe old man patted him lightly on the shoulder. “It’s alright… I’m in so much pain that I can’t feel anything… Don’t worry and do what you need to do…”

nLu Ming tightened his grip on the bandage.

nThe rain outside was getting heavier, and it did not seem like it was going to stop anytime soon.

n

n

n“Rumble!”

nThere was no time to think too much. He said, “Please bear with it.”

nHe dropped the bloodstained bandage and replaced it with a new one. This time, he used a little more strength than before.

nHowever, the old man did not make a sound throughout the whole process. After seeing that Lu Ming had tied the bandage, he said, “Well done…”

nLu Ming heaved a sigh of relief and started the car again.

nAfter a while, they arrived at This Place Hospital.

nLu Ming carried the old man to the entrance. Although the security guard was surprised at their sorry state, he did not forget to ask, “Do you have an appointment?”

nLu Ming took out an identity card from his pocket. “I am Lu Ming.”

nThe security guard had received information about the new boss’s name early on. When he heard this, he was shocked at first. Then, after repeatedly verifying that the identity card was real, he respectfully said, “Please enter.”

n“Can you tell me where the filming location is?”

nLu Ming put away his identity card. After taking a few steps, he returned to the entrance and asked.

nThe security guard answered, “If you’re looking for the radiology department, go to the fourth floor of the building on the left.”

n“Alright!”

nThe security guard was about to ask if he should get someone to carry the old man when the person disappeared.

nAll drenched, Lu Ming entered the elevator.

nOnce he reached the fourth floor, he walked out.

nThe nurses on duty were astonished.

nHis black hair was plastered to his head and his clothes were stained with mud. He looked like he had rolled on the streets several times.

nThey could not help but wonder if this person was an honored guest who had an appointment with the hospital.

nTo them, he did not look like a rich person from any angle.

nThey wondered how he could have entered without an appointment.

nA nurse walked up and asked carefully, “May I know what this gentleman is here for?”

n“Filming. Where should we go for filming?”

nLu Ming asked.

n“Filming?”

nThe nurse instinctively thought that they were filming a television drama.

nBut she did not see any cameras.

nLu Ming was anxious like a cat on a hot tin roof. “This person was hit by a car and needs to be filmed!”

nThe nurse saw the light and said, “Oh, oh, this! Turn right and go straight. That’s the radiology department.”

n“Okay.”

nLu Ming followed the direction of the nurse and found the location. He grabbed the middle-aged doctor who had just walked out and said, “Help me take a scan of this old man!”

nChief Physician Zuo took a few steps back in disdain. After he sized them up, he said, “How did you get here? It’s impossible for someone like you, who is covered in cheap clothes, to get an appointment!”

n“Can you save him first?”

nLu Ming frowned and said.

nDoctor Zuo glanced at the old man and said scornfully, “Save him? Do you know who the people I save are? They’re rich people from all over the country! You guys aren’t scavengers, are you?

nEven if I were to save him, neither of you would be able to pay the medical bill. You’ve brought with you a whiff of poverty! ”

nSeeing that he would not budge, Lu Ming said, “A human life is at stake!”

n“A human life is at stake?”

nChief Physician Zuo laughed mockingly. “Let me tell you, the lives of lowly people like you are worthless! Only the lives of rich people are worth saving! I don’t think the old thing will live much longer! Why don’t you find a random spot in the wilderness and bury him!”

n“You call yourself a doctor?!”

nLu Ming shouted angrily.

nChief Physician Zuo adjusted his glasses and said coldly, “Yeah! If I’m not a doctor, are you? What a joke!”

n“What kind of doctor are you? Aren’t doctors supposed to save lives? What are you doing now? Do you want to watch him die?”

nLu Ming questioned forcefully.

nChief Physician Zuo clicked his tongue in displeasure. “So what if he dies? At worst, you can sue me and I will pay some compensation. Now get out of here! This Place Hospital is not something that those people outside can compare to! And it’s not a place where anyone can come and go as they please!”

nLu Ming held the old man tightly and said, “Have you memorized the Hippocratic Oath?!”

n
