Chapter 12 Preparation

"Uncle Wang..." Ye Fei couldn't help but chuckle, preparing to explain. Suddenly, a loud exclamation came from a distance. Ye Fei quickly turned his head to see a group of people gathered, pointing and discussing. Without time to speak to Uncle Wang, he set down his chopsticks and hurried over. In the midst of the crowd, an elderly man lay on the ground, foaming at the mouth, shaking uncontrollably, with a hint of ominous black energy faintly visible on his cheeks. Sun Xinfang knelt on one knee, pressing on the old man's chest continuously, striving to save him. "Dad, please wake up, don't scare me!" A middle-aged woman looked anxious, calling out repeatedly. Beside her stood a man, constantly on the phone, muttering curses. "What kind of lousy hospital is this? It's been so long, and not even an ambulance has arrived. Don't give me excuses about traffic jams, I will sue you for playing with people's lives!" It was the peak of rush hour, and every road was congested. Except for airplanes, no vehicle could pass through. Sun Xinfang was half-kneeling on the ground, tirelessly performing CPR, sweat beads the size of beans forming on her forehead. The old man's condition was extremely critical, his breathing becoming weaker, his cheeks turning ashen. The middle-aged woman spun around in place, her eyes fixed on Sun Xinfang, angrily demanding, "Are you going to save him or not? I saw on TV that you have to blow air into his mouth, hurry up and do it!" Sun Xinfang found her words foolish. As the head of the emergency department, did she really need someone to instruct her on saving a life? Ignoring the woman, Sun Xinfang continued with the chest compressions for CPR. Seeing no response, the middle-aged woman became furious, pointing at Sun Xinfang and cursing, "If you can't save him, then move aside. If you keep pressing like this, even if my dad's body is fine, he'll be crushed by you!" Doubtful whispers and gestures circulated around Sun Xinfang. "I'm a doctor!" Sun Xinfang explained helplessly. "Really?" The middle-aged woman looked skeptical. Before Sun Xinfang could elaborate, the elderly man convulsed violently, more foam emerging from his mouth. "Dad!" The middle-aged woman screamed in despair, holding the old man, tears streaming down her face. The man beside her felt sorry, patting her shoulder and softly comforting her, "Wife, don't be too sad, may he rest in peace..." "I'll rest your head!" The middle-aged woman cursed loudly, turning to glare at Sun Xinfang, "You don't know how to save people, you've killed my dad, you owe his life!" "Yes, I couldn't save him, why are you causing trouble." "A life was lost just like that." "She really did harm to others." Accusations surrounded Sun Xinfang, anger boiling within her. She had worked in the hospital for many years, saving countless lives. The treatment was not the issue; the old man's weak body simply lacked the strength to recover. Sun Xinfang explained coldly, "I am a doctor! I am also saddened by your father's passing, but it was due to his weak body, not my treatment." "You're talking nonsense!" The middle-aged woman pointed at her and scolded, "My father was healthy, it's because you pressed so hard, you owe his life!" She grabbed Sun Xinfang's clothes and stubbornly started causing a scene. Sun Xinfang had never encountered this situation in the hospital before, she was at a loss for a moment, standing dumbfounded in place. "My father was killed by you, if you don't compensate today, don't even think about leaving, everyone here is a witness." The middle-aged woman grabbed Sun Xinfang's arm and shouted loudly. This was originally a bustling street in the city, with many people coming and going. Immediately, many people gathered around. Sun Xinfang tried to defend herself vigorously, but she didn't have much experience dealing with people other than studying medicine. She couldn't argue with the shrew, and was left red-faced and angry. The onlookers were not clear about what had happened, but after hearing the middle-aged woman's loud accusations, they joined in criticizing Sun Xinfang. "I really didn't do anything wrong..." Sun Xinfang's face turned red with anger, clenched her fists tightly, feeling extremely wronged inside. "My dad was almost choked to death by you, and you're still trying to argue? How shameless can you be?" The middle-aged shrew scolded. The middle-aged man followed, saying, "Exactly, everyone saw it with their own eyes. If you hadn't intervened, my father-in-law might still be alive." The two of them were too busy arguing to notice the white-haired old man lying on the ground, still convulsing unconsciously. Only Ye Fei glanced over, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "You killed my dad, so compensate us with thirty thousand, or else you can prepare to go to jail." The middle-aged woman stated her terms. Sun Xinfang chuckled in anger, "So you're relentless just for money?" "Don't speak so harshly!" The middle-aged woman's eyes flickered, her tone stern, "An eye for an eye, a debt must be repaid. It's only right! Otherwise, you can prepare to go to jail." Sun Xinfang hesitated, realizing that they were not in a hospital and there were no surveillance cameras. If they insisted on their demands and things escalated, it could have an impact on the hospital. Although thirty thousand was not a small amount, she had saved up quite a bit from her work and could manage to come up with it. After some consideration, Sun Xinfang decided to pay the money to avoid trouble and made up her mind never to help people on the roadside again. "You don't need to pay a single cent!" Suddenly, a calm voice rang out. Everyone turned to look as Ye Fei walked calmly into the crowd from the outside. The middle-aged woman looked gloomy and said angrily, "Who do you think you are, talking nonsense here? My father was killed by her. If you don't compensate, get ready to go to jail!" Sun Xinfang looked nervous and said helplessly in a low voice, "Ye Fei, let's just forget about it! This matter shouldn't be blown out of proportion. Just pay some money and be done with it." "Director Sun!" Ye Fei looked serious, "This is not about money, it's about not encouraging such twisted behavior! If we allow this to happen, everyone will follow suit in the future. How can doctors dare to save people boldly and confidently? This will only lead to more tragedies." Sun Xinfang was taken aback, and as she looked at Ye Fei, she couldn't help but admire him a little more. In today's society, people are indifferent, and one has to worry about being framed even when doing good deeds. Once this twisted behavior starts, more people will imitate it in the future, giving malicious people an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
