Upon hearing the wails ahead, Li Qingfeng's face showed profound melancholy.
He looked at Duanmu Yulan, who stood beside him with a helpless expression, and directly asked, "Is it that difficult to be a police officer every day?"
This question made the newly recruited female officer's face turn crimson.
Stuttering slightly, she replied, "I never expected to encounter something like this. Li Qingfeng, I've truly caused you trouble this time."
Duanmu Yulan felt extremely apologetic towards her new companion.
After all, she hadn't anticipated that a simple rescue mission would turn into an extortion attempt.
After all, traffic police are also police officers!
If even traffic police are extorted, what would happen to ordinary citizens?
Thinking of this, Duanmu Yulan's expression changed considerably.
At this moment, she suddenly understood her father's actions.
And comprehended the words he had spoken then!
"In this world, you can never achieve the idealized perfection you imagine; all you can do is be true to your conscience!"
"No patient can stump everyone, but misfortunes always strike the most vulnerable!"
These two sentences were spoken by Duanmu Yulan's father when she was young.
It was because, at that time, her father had made a decision she couldn't comprehend.
That decision was to use the wealth of one county to save the people of three provinces.
Even she herself used to call her father a terrible villain.
Only as she grew up did she slowly understand the significance.
Her father was a great hero!
"That old woman is still sitting on the ground crying. Shouldn't we do something about it?"
Seeing the situation, Duanmu Yulan's compassion was stirred.
Li Qingfeng shook his head helplessly, looking at the mother of Xiao Lan's husband, who was rolling on the ground like a donkey.
"What can you do about it? Can you go up there and perform medical treatment? Or can you go and soothe her inner pain?"
"Of course, those are not important. What's most important is how much money you can give her!"
Li Qingfeng stated bluntly.
Since this person was trying to extort them, it was definitely something that could be resolved with money. The only question was how much they intended to offer.
As expected, upon hearing his words, the old woman instantly stopped crying and revealed a shrewd expression.
"You all stay here. If something happens to Xiao Lan, you will all compensate us."
The old woman directly encompassed the surrounding doctors and spoke with sharp words.
The doctors watching the scene couldn't help but swallow.
"I'm just standing here, and trouble is coming my way!"
Thinking this, he felt somewhat indignant, as he hadn't done anything.
It was known that intense competition was normal in their field.
However, the current situation wasn't just intense competition; it was extreme competition.
"What should we do?"
Looking at the situation, he looked at the disclaimer form in his hand and fell into a dilemma.
"However, if that's the case, if I want to be free of responsibility, she must sign this."
After thinking it over, the doctor handed over the two sheets of paper.
"Are you the expectant mother's family?"
Upon hearing the doctor's words, the old woman's attitude did a complete 180-degree turn. Xiao Lan's husband also hurried over.
"Yes, yes, yes, Doctor, we are Xiao Lan's family!"
Seeing their reaction, Duanmu Yulan's face showed profound sadness.
Despite her efforts, she couldn't win them over; instead, she was being retaliated against.
Li Qingfeng, seeing her expression, offered a truly pertinent and sensible remark.
"Actually, they haven't done anything wrong. Some people are just a microcosm of the general public. You just happened to encounter their less fortunate side."
Perhaps after inheriting the memories of the medical sage, Li Qingfeng had become somewhat desensitized to such situations.
And he had seen similar scenarios countless times in his memories.
Often, such relationships were based on utility.
Only when you have value are you utilized by others, and only then do you have a way to demonstrate your worth.
"Our value has been completely drained by them, so they have abandoned us!"
This was Li Qingfeng's perspective on the matter, and indeed, it mirrored the situation precisely.
Duanmu Yulan nodded in agreement after hearing his description and looked at the scene before them.
The doctor put on an air of authority and said sternly, "The expectant mother's family, sign the agreement quickly. We have an urgent surgery to perform!"
"Alright, alright, we'll sign the agreement right away!"
The old woman, without a second thought, happily prepared to sign the agreement.
Seeing this, Duanmu Yulan became even more disheartened.
However, soon after, the old woman taught the doctor a stern lesson.
The old woman asked with a smile, "Doctor, if we sign this agreement, and if my daughter-in-law has an accident, will the hospital bear no responsibility?"
The doctor was stunned by her question.
But after thinking it over, he confirmed that if a disclaimer was signed, they would have more peace of mind.
To be precise, if the patient truly had an accident, the hospital would definitely compensate, but the responsibility wouldn't be as significant.
"Yes, expectant mother's family!"
"If a medical accident truly occurs, our responsibility will be very small."
However, the doctor never imagined that because of his words, the hospital would descend into chaos.
"Waaa..."
"Waaa, my poor daughter-in-law... the hospital doesn't want to take responsibility for you; they want to let you die!"
...
The old woman began to wail dramatically, drawing the attention of countless people in the emergency room.
This was no minor incident; patients waiting for surgery there were all critical cases.
With this happening, their trust in the hospital plummeted to an all-time low.
Seeing the gazes of these people, the doctor knew the situation had escalated.
"It's over!"
The doctor thought to himself and immediately called his supervisor.
"Supervisor, something's gone wrong. There's a commotion up front; please don't proceed with the surgery!"
"What's happening? What exactly occurred?"
At this moment, the supervisor was preparing to put on protective gear for surgery.
Because of the call, the supervisor hesitated to move.
"Please come quickly, there's a commotion up front. It's the expectant mother's family..."
Before the doctor could finish speaking, the old woman snatched his phone and flung it away.
"Thump!"
With a crisp sound, the phone met its untimely end.
"My phone!"
Seeing his beloved phone shattered into pieces, the doctor cried out.
He never expected this woman to be so unreasonable.
No wonder the old woman tried to extort the police; she was completely unreasonable, making any communication impossible.
"I advise you to behave, or I'll call security!"
Looking at the old woman, the doctor couldn't help but say.
At the same time, he wondered why his supervisor hadn't arrived yet!
