“Don’t be in such a hurry to leave, there’s still something you haven’t cleared up, is there?”
Sadly for Dong Tianyi, Dean Fang’s final words weren’t meant to keep him there. Instead, he slowly pulled out his phone, which was playing a video.
The footage showed a scene of flashing lights and pulsing music, with a group of men and women playing some rather reckless games. One man, clearly enjoying himself, was unmistakably Dong Tianyi!
“How… how is this possible! I… I paid the hush money, didn’t I? How could someone still leak the video!”
Seeing the clip on Dean Fang’s phone, Dong Tianyi felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him out of a clear blue sky.
Then it hit him, hadn’t he already paid fifty thousand quid to keep it quiet? So why was this video still circulating?
What came next crushed him even further, because nearly everyone in the ward, and even those in the corridor outside, pulled out their phones, all playing the same damning video.
“Why… why is this happening? You… you lot don’t believe it! Dean Fang! That’s not me! I was on duty at the hospital last night, the video’s fake, Dean Fang!”
Dong Tianyi could never have imagined things would spiral like this. He knew he’d become public enemy number one in the hospital, and the consequences were more than he could bear. Desperate, he switched tactics, frantically trying to defend himself.
“Stop spouting nonsense, you left in the middle of the night, everyone at the nurses’ station knows it! We can all vouch for that!”
Xiao Ai stepped forward again, her words like a sharp blade slicing through the last straw Dong Tianyi was clutching.
“Director Dong, oh, my mistake, I should say Dong Tianyi, while you were absent from the hospital this morning, this video spread to every corner of the staff.”
“No need to get paranoid, it was Xiao Ai who sent it! Given your utterly deplorable conduct, I’ve already informed my network, Dong Tianyi won’t find a job anywhere in their circles.”
Dean Fang delivered these words slowly, as if pronouncing a death sentence on Dong Tianyi.
Because Dean Fang wasn’t just the head of the capital’s top hospital, his connections spanned across China and even overseas.
If Dong Tianyi was blacklisted from his network, it was as good as being booted out of the medical field entirely.
“No! You’re all liars! You… you’re just jealous of my talent! I won’t accept this!”
At those words, Dong Tianyi collapsed to the floor. Suddenly, he scrambled to his feet, shouting wildly as he bolted out of the hospital.
As he fled like a madman, not a single person in the room moved to stop him.
Duanmu Qing certainly wouldn’t, she’d always despised his sanctimonious, two-faced nature.
Xu Fei wouldn’t either, Dong Tianyi had insulted Chinese medicine to his face before, kicking someone like that out of the profession was a win in his book.
As for Dean Fang and the others, they had even less reason to intervene. To the hospital, Dong Tianyi was like an undetected tumour.
With him gone, the hospital would be rid of much of its toxic atmosphere. No more scheming or backstabbing, just staff focused on medicine, which was a massive boon for Dean Fang.
“Well, it seems Director Dong might not honour his bet after all, my apologies!”
To everyone’s surprise, Dean Fang actually bowed to Duanmu Qing, who hurriedly returned a bow, insisting he didn’t need to be so polite.
