Meng Liang was kicked away by Director Li, a scene that terrified everyone present.

Did Director Li actually kick Doctor Meng? This… Isn't the director usually very kind to Doctor Meng? There were even rumors that Director Li wasn't just kind to Doctor Meng; he practically worshipped him.

But now, not only had Director Li slapped Doctor Meng, he had also kicked him. One could only imagine the Director's fury.

And the director's next words shocked the crowd even more.

Lin Mu is the husband of the Qin Corporation's president? How is that possible?

Qin Luoli was the idol of countless women in River City and a goddess in the hearts of all men!

"So what?" Meng Liang roared. "That just makes him the Qin Family's live-in son-in-law… what?"

Meng Liang was stunned. He shook his head vigorously. "Impossible, impossible!"

When Brother Jie had said Lin Mu was the Qin Family's live-in son-in-law, he had assumed Lin Mu was married to some minor woman from the family. It never occurred to him that it could be Qin Luoli.

Who is Qin Luoli? How could she marry a loser!

Meng Liang glanced at Lin Mu and suddenly sneered, his face twisting with malice. "But so what? I'm a member of the Meng Family. He hit me today. I will not let him get away with it!"

"Is that so?"

At that moment, Qin Luoli spoke.

"Whoever dares to touch him is making an enemy of my Qin Family!"

She stepped forward to stand beside Lin Mu, looking at Meng Liang with an icy expression.

"Beauty, you may not know me, but you should know about the Meng Family in River City. Don't ruin your bright future over a good-for-nothing!" Meng Liang looked at Qin Luoli smugly.

In his eyes, a beautiful woman like Qin Luoli should be standing by his side, not beside a live-in son-in-law.

"The Meng Family?" Qin Luoli laughed coldly. "Are they so powerful?"

Her words were filled with disdain.

In River City, the Meng Family was a business rival of the Qin Family. After all, the Qin Family had started in pharmaceuticals, and so had the Meng Family. The two families had been locked in a fierce, clandestine battle over markets, resources, and distribution channels for years.

The Meng Family had always looked down on the Qin Family, partly because one of their members held an important position in the health department.

However, Qin Luoli didn't recognize Meng Liang. They were simply not on the same level.

So what if Meng Liang was from the Meng Family? Qin Luoli paid him no mind whatsoever.

"You…" Meng Liang's voice faltered. He scoffed, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can insult the Meng Family? Be careful what you say, or you'll bring disaster upon yourself!"

"Who am I?" Qin Luoli turned to the director. "Tell him who I am."

The director looked embarrassed and whispered, "Doctor Meng, she is Qin Luoli, the president of Qin Corporation. Lin Mu is her husband."

"What?"

Meng Liang was startled. He hadn't expected this beautiful woman to be Qin Luoli, let alone the president of Qin Corporation.

"So what if you're the president of Qin Corporation? Do you really think the Meng Family is afraid of you?" Meng Liang said through gritted teeth, but his tone was no longer as firm as before.

"You can try me," Qin Luoli said indifferently.

It was a simple statement, yet it conveyed an indescribable aura of dominance and confidence to everyone present. Many people's gazes toward Qin Luoli changed, especially the women, who now practically idolized her.

You can try me?

Though spoken calmly, her overbearing self-confidence, which looked down on everything, was unmatched.

Meng Liang opened his mouth, but no words came out. He knew he didn't dare. The Meng Family might be strong, but they were no match for the Qin Corporation, one of the top 500 firms in the country.

"Miss Qin, I'm so sorry, so very sorry!" Director Li hurried to Qin Luoli's side, apologizing profusely. "This was negligence on our hospital's part. I've already reprimanded Doctor Meng. How about we just... let this matter go? After all, it was just a small misunderstanding."

Director Li's voice trembled, containing even a hint of pleading. Under normal circumstances, he would never dare to treat Meng Liang this way. He wouldn't even dare to raise his voice, knowing that the hospital's profits depended on the Meng Family. But having offended the much more powerful president of the Qin Corporation, and with Mr. Guan present, Director Li didn't dare show favoritism. Otherwise, his career as director might come to an abrupt end.

"Let it go? A misunderstanding?" Qin Luoli's gaze was icy as she sneered. "As a doctor at this hospital, he flew into a rage because a patient's family wouldn't sign a form, even threatening that the surgery wouldn't proceed unless they knelt and apologized!

"Is proceeding with anesthesia without a proper examination also a misunderstanding?

"As a doctor, acting like a common thug, gathering hoodlums to beat up a patient's family and verbally insult and threaten them—and you're telling me to let it go?"

Qin Luoli spoke emphatically, "If this is your hospital's attitude, then let's proceed with legal action! I, Qin Luoli, guarantee that even if it bankrupts me, I will see to it that your unscrupulous hospital is completely shut down!"

Her words were resolute, carrying an unusual chill. The one lying inside was Lin Mu's mother—her mother-in-law. The ones humiliated were not only Lin Mu but also her, Qin Luoli, and the entire Qin Family!

"No, don't!" Director Li panicked, "Miss Qin, please, calm down. I'm begging you. We are a legitimate hospital, definitely not an unscrupulous one. I assure you, we will give you a satisfactory resolution to this matter!" he said with a desperate look on his face.

If this really went to court, the hospital would be finished. And he, the director, would be disgraced for life.

"Director, don't be afraid of them. Let them sue," Meng Liang suddenly sneered. "That Lin Mu is so ungrateful, barging into the operating room to perform surgery on the patient. I don't believe they actually dare to sue!"

"You, shut up!" Director Li roared. He was well aware of this issue.

It was precisely for this reason that he hadn't dared to bring it up himself. He had been hoping to negotiate a compromise that would satisfy Qin Luoli without impacting the hospital. With Meng Liang's outburst, his plan was now at risk of falling apart.

"Director… the patient is awake!" Just then, Doctor Zhai came running out, his face a mask of excitement and shock.

Worried about the patient, he had rushed into the operating room. He found that not only had the hematoma in her body vanished completely, but all the associated complications had disappeared as well.

"What?" Director Li was startled, then overjoyed. "She's awake? That's great news! Just great!"

At that moment, it was the best news he could have possibly heard.

"Doctor Zhai, you've worked hard," Director Li said, patting Doctor Zhai's shoulder appreciatively.

It looks like I'll have to promote Doctor Zhai in the future.

Doctor Zhai said awkwardly, "Director, it had nothing to do with me. It was all thanks to this young man."

"What?"

Director Li stared at Lin Mu in shock. It was his doing? Does he really possess such incredible skill?

And Mr. Guan, looking at Lin Mu for the first time, had a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

So this young man also knows medicine?
