Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Emotions Are Worthless

Everyone was astounded.

"My God, all of this was actually orchestrated by Xu Kun."

"So Tongren Medical Hall was framed. I’ve been coming here for many years without issue, how could they suddenly have killed someone with their treatment?"

"Xu Kun’s heart is really dirty, to bully people using such methods."

...

Xu Kun couldn’t understand why the middle-aged man had betrayed him and yelled with an ashen face, "You’re slandering me! When did I ever instruct you to do anything!"

The middle-aged man said, "My chat and bank transfer records with Mr. Xu can serve as evidence."

Xu Kun’s face turned extremely pale in an instant.

Chen Fan continued to ask, "Who else is your accomplice besides your son?"

The middle-aged man pointed to Wang Lei, "Him, too. Mr. Xu ordered us to collaborate with him and falsely accuse Wang Zhipeng of killing a patient."

Wang Lei’s legs gave out, and he nearly fell.

Zhou Tongren glared at Wang Lei, "I treated you like my own son, yet you conspired with others to set up the medical hall. I’ve truly been blind!"

Wu Gang glanced over the crowd and then called over several subordinates, "Take these two, the one kneeling on the ground and that Wang Lei, back for questioning."

Then he turned to Xu Kun, "Mr. Xu, please come with me as well."

Xu Kun, with a fierce look, glared at Chen Fan, "Kid, just you wait. I’ll make you pay for this!"

A warm-hearted aunt shouted, "How can you be so shameless? It was clearly you who used such despicable methods to slander others, and yet you want them to pay."

Once someone took the lead, the rest followed suit.

"Exactly, you rich kids always rely on your family’s power to bully others. Without your family backing you, you’re nothing!"

"Such people should be locked up and reformed!"

...

At that moment, a boy about fifteen or sixteen in the crowd threw an egg at Xu Kun.

Xu Kun’s face was full of rage, "Who the hell did that!"

Right after he shouted, someone else threw a rotten tomato at him.

An older lady pretended to advise kindly, "You better leave quickly, or they’re going to start throwing manure water at you."

"Good idea!" someone in the crowd shouted.

Xu Kun’s face changed color, and he quickly said to Wu Gang, "Let’s go!"

Then he fled in a panic.

Everyone had looks of relief on their faces.

Before long, the spectators around the medical hall dispersed.

Chen Fan walked up to Wang Zhipeng and extended a hand towards him.

Wang Zhipeng took it, stood up from the ground, and hugged Chen Fan gratefully, "Thanks to you today. Otherwise, not only would I have been in trouble, but Tongren Medical Hall would have been implicated as well."

Chen Fan smiled and patted his shoulder, "Why didn’t you tell me about the hardships you were facing?"

Wang Zhipeng helplessly lowered his head, "Whether I spoke of it or not, it wouldn’t have changed the situation. I might as well pretend to be fine in front of you."

Chen Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Tell me the details."

Wang Zhipeng gave a bitter smile and didn’t hesitate, relaying his ordeal to Chen Fan once again.

Two years ago, he had graduated with his PhD, with promising prospects, and had been deeply in love with his girlfriend Feng Tingting, reaching the point of engagement.

He had initially signed a contract for a job at Longhai City’s First Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, with a generous salary and a future full of promise.

But fate was not on his side; the son of the hospital president, the profligate Xu Kun, took an interest in Feng Tingting.

Xu Kun used Wang Zhipeng’s job as leverage, coercing Wang Zhipeng to break up with Feng Tingting.

Wang Zhipeng refused to submit and the result was that he lost his job and was ostracized by the entire Traditional Chinese Medicine community.

The First Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Longhai City held a significant position in Longhai’s medical field, and no one dared to offend Xu Kun.

Not long after Wang Zhipeng lost his job, Feng Tingting threw herself into Xu Kun’s arms.

Heartbroken, he faced obstacles everywhere in his job search and lost all his willpower.

In the end, it was the compassion of the master of Tongren Medical Hall that led to him being given an apprenticeship.

Even as an apprentice at Tongren Medical Hall, they still faced Xu Kun’s targeting, and the number of patients visiting the hall dropped significantly compared to the past.

After hearing the story, Chen Fan felt a surge of anger rise within him.

It was bad enough that Xu Kun stole Wang Zhipeng’s girlfriend, but to drive him to the point where he couldn’t find a decent job was downright outrageous!

Chen Fan, trying to contain his anger, asked Wang Zhipeng, "I remember that the relationship between you and your girlfriend was very strong; by all accounts, she wouldn’t leave you. So why did she still end up with that Xu Kun?"

Wang Zhipeng showed a mocking smile, "Love? I’m afraid that’s probably the cheapest thing in this world."

"At first, she was very resolute, saying no matter what I became, she would never leave me and would absolutely not accept Xu Kun."

"Without a job, there was no income, and life for both of us was tough. At first, she was willing to endure hardship with me, but as time went on, she couldn’t bear it anymore."

"She was in the prime of her youth, an age when she loved beauty, but I couldn’t even afford a decent cosmetic for her. With Xu Kun’s secret instigation, gifting all sorts of designer bags and makeup, Tingting at first refused, but then Xu Kun started gifting them to Tingting’s close friends."

"Seeing her friends dressed up beautifully one by one, and having nothing herself, she began to harbor resentment."

"Until one day, we had an argument over renting an apartment. She didn’t come home for a night, and the next day, she showed up in front of me wearing the latest fashion, adorned with luxurious jewelry, a designer bag on her arm, and lipstick costing three thousand yuan on her lips, and she suggested we break up."

"After that, she belonged to Xu Kun. I didn’t hold her back because I knew clearly that there was no turning back."

When Wang Zhipeng spoke of these things, he was very calm, but Chen Fan could sense the helplessness and indignation deep within him.

He took a deep breath and said earnestly, "I’m going to be in Longhai City for a while, and I’ll deal with that Xu Kun for you. I will make sure you get out of your current situation."

Wang Zhipeng smiled, "There’s no need to comfort me. I’ve already gotten used to it. Xu Kun has substantial family wealth, and his father is the hospital president. We little people can’t fight against him."

Chen Fan, however, smiled faintly, "If I say I will help you, I definitely will. And I’m not just going to help you deal with Xu Kun; I’m going to help you get back on your feet in Longhai City!"

Master Zhou standing nearby sighed, "Offending the Xu Family and still wanting to get back on your feet in Longhai City, that’s easier said than done."

Chen Fan turned to look at Master Zhou, "Master Zhou, don’t be so negative. There’s always a way."

Master Zhou gave a bitter smile, "Today, your exposure of Xu Kun’s scheme has indeed alarmed the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, and this will certainly impact President Xu."

"But at most, he will receive a warning and a minor punishment. If you want to survive in Longhai’s Traditional Chinese Medicine community, you still have to play by the Xu Family’s rules."

"Honestly, I was already considering leaving Longhai City not long ago. Now with what happened today, it seems there’s no point in staying here any longer. Tongren Medical Hall will soon have to close its doors."

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, "Is Master Zhou really planning to leave?"
