Chen Junjie, relying on being the village head’s son, often acted recklessly. This ti, while wandering in a neighboring village, he took a liking to a girl and harassed her on the spot.
After being sternly rejected by the girl, Chen Junjie attempted to force himself on her, but was discovered by the girl’s family. Her family, known as bullies in the neighboring village, did not show any respect for his father and brutally beat Chen Junjie, breaking one of his legs.
They even threatened that if Chen Junjie dared to step into their village again, they’d beat him up each ti they saw him.
"Lin Fan, now you know why I was beaten up. Hurry up and treat ; I’m in excruciating pain!" Chen Junjie scread, drenched in sweat and looking pale, obviously in real pain.
The village head knew that his son being beaten wasn’t honorable. Initially he was reluctant to talk about it, but now he felt embarrassed and ashad, so he couldn’t go to the neighboring village to confront the bullies. He had to swallow this grievance and wanted his son treated imdiately, fearing that a delay would result in a permanent disability.
"Lin Fan, why are you standing there? Hurry up and treat my son’s injuries. You’re supposed to be really good, right? You healed Chen Zhonghou’s severe leg injury in just a couple of days. You should be able to heal my son too. Show your skills!" the village head said.
The village head’s tone irritated Lin Fan; it sounded like an order!
"Sorry, I can’t treat your son’s leg," Lin Fan replied casually.
The village head was enraged: "What? You can’t treat it? How is that possible? Aren’t you supposed to be very skilled? You healed Chen Zhonghou’s leg..."
Lin Fan said, "I indeed healed Grandpa Zhonghou’s leg. Your son’s leg is not beyond my ability to heal, but I simply won’t treat it."
The village head paused and then realized: "You an you could heal it, but you refuse to do so?"
Lin Fan said, "Exactly, so village head, I suggest you send him away quickly."
The village head was furious: "Lin Fan, as a doctor, why won’t you help a patient? What kind of reasoning is this?"
Lin Fan said, "Although treating and saving people is a doctor’s duty, it’s unfortunate that I don’t even have a practicing license, which sets apart from those doctors. Also, I have a principle: I do not treat scoundrels. Unluckily, your son is one such scoundrel."
Village Head: "..."
The one who tried to threaten Lin Fan with a practicing license was the village head himself. Unexpectedly, Lin Fan quickly turned the tables. Without a license, the village head couldn’t demand Lin Fan to fulfill a doctor’s mission.
"Zi Xin, show them out!" Lin Fan said.
Liu Zixing replied, "Sorry, village head, the clinic is quite busy right now. For the sake of other patients, you’d better leave quickly."
At this point, the other patients in the clinic were stunned.
They witnessed Lin Fan actually refusing the village head. This was the village head, after all! And Lin Fan didn’t even give him face; Lin Fan really had guts.
In fact, everyone knew Chen Junjie was a scoundrel, so Lin Fan refusing to treat him was very satisfying.
The village head urgently said, "Lin Fan, you are a resident of West River Village, I am the village head, you must listen to . I now order you in my capacity as village head to treat my son imdiately!"
The village head attempted to use his authority to pressure Lin Fan.
Lin Fan chuckled and said, "Sorry, village head, your order is useless to . I’m simply unable to treat him. Bla it on your son for being a scoundrel."
"Dad, I’m in so much pain, I feel like I’m dying..." Chen Junjie said painfully, his breathing weakening. If this injury were to drag on, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The village head felt distressed but Lin Fan refused to help. Seeing the hard approach wasn’t working, for the sake of his son, the village head could only soften his stance.
"Lin Fan, help treat my son. If he is healed, I will make it worth your while. Junjie did wrong with his actions, I’ll apologize on his behalf, alright? Could you just do a favor and treat him?" the village head pleaded, his tone softening to almost begging.
Lin Fan was indeed soone who responded to gentleness rather than force. Anyone who acted arrogant towards him surely wouldn’t earn his favor. Why be cocky? Is it so hard to speak nicely?
But this ti it was different. Chen Junjie was a scoundrel, and even with the village head’s softened attitude, Lin Fan wouldn’t treat him. Besides, Chen Junjie has been disrespectful before, daring to offend Wei Yue’er last ti.
Such a scoundrel deserved a broken leg, as a lesson to rember.
Lin Fan sat down and said lightly, "Sorry, I’ve said I won’t treat scoundrels, and I won’t. This is a matter of principle. I hope the village head respects my principles."
He won’t give in to either hardness or softness!
It seed nothing could persuade Lin Fan to treat Chen Junjie.
Enraged and unsure of what to do, the village head could only choose to give up, saying through gritted teeth, "Lin Fan, you really have guts! Today’s incident, I assure you, you will regret it. Just wait and see!"
In the end, the village head left and hurriedly sent Chen Junjie to the town hospital.
But it was already too late, and due to missing the optimal treatnt ti and the county hospital’s orthopedic departnt being quite lackluster, Chen Junjie’s leg later suffered from aftereffects.
Simply put, he beca crippled.
Moreover, during rainy weather, the pain flares up, making him feel like he’s dying—this is the just retribution ted out to a scoundrel.
After the village head left, applause echoed in the clinic.
"That was incredible, it’s the first ti seeing the village head getting humiliated!"
"That Chen Junjie has always thrown his weight around the village, and everyone has long found him displeasing."
"This ti it’s truly satisfying!"
The crowd laughed, feeling utterly delighted.
However, so expressed concern.
"Lin Fan, you’ve offended the village head this ti, be careful!"
"That was a bit reckless, you shouldn’t offend the village head."
"Best to be cautious."
"Will the village head actually shut down the clinic? Where would we go for treatnt then?"
Lin Fan furrowed his brow. He originally planned to keep a low profile, but with various occurrences, he couldn’t stay under the radar anymore.
To protect the small clinic, to shield his ho from bullying, it seed he couldn’t remain low-profile any longer.
"Everyone can rest assured; the clinic will be fine," Lin Fan smiled and said.
Liu Zixing looked at Lin Fan in admiration, thinking Lin Fan was truly impressive. He was the first in West River Village to bravely and defiantly stand up to the village head, while others would only bow and scrape in his presence.
That afternoon, Lin Fan was treating patients.
Soone ran in, telling Lin Fan urgently, "Terrible news, Lin Fan, the village head brought a group to your house, who knows what they’re up to!"
Lin Fan gave a casual response, the village head’s revenge coming so swiftly.
Lin Fan was about to head ho to take a look, but just then, several black cars drove up from the village entrance and stopped in front of the clinic.
The situation was definitely unusual.
Sure enough, several security personnel descended from the cars front and back, surrounding the central vehicle protectively.
The center car’s door opened and the county head stepped out.
"Divine Doctor Lin, I finally found you. I’ve specifically co to thank you," the county head said very respectfully.
Everyone was dumbfounded, the county head had co to thank Lin Fan?
