Chapter 54 Xia Peng's Defection
This is unprecedented for a small clinic to receive official accreditation from a medical association.
Generally speaking, only top-tier hospitals with advanced equipment and strong medical resources in capital cities or affluent and developed regions can obtain accreditation from medical associations.
Even with a top-tier doctor on staff, a small clinic in the southern part of the city would never qualify for such treatment.
This is completely unreasonable!
No matter how much outsiders question it, the plaque inscribed by a national hero and the certification by the Medical Association are undeniable facts.
It is easy to imagine that from today onwards, Zhang Qin's clinic will surely become famous.
A small clinic that was originally just considered good was elevated to the level of a top-tier hospital...
The Xiao and Xia families were naturally driven mad with jealousy.
"Why...why are so many people here to congratulate us?" Lin Youyou said blankly.
This is the question on everyone's mind.
"Of course, it's thanks to Dr. Chen's immense influence," Xiao Chen replied with a smile.
"Cough!" Chen Lin coughed violently, almost coughing up blood.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes were wide open.
Good heavens, who would dare to wear such high praise? Even a top-level doctor couldn't bear it.
That was terrifying!
"You've all come here for Dr. Chen, haven't you?" Xiao Chen asked loudly.
"Of course," everyone replied with smiles.
Chen Lin's face turned red, and he coughed several times as if he were about to cough up his lungs.
"Wow, Dr. Chen has such a big reputation! That's amazing!" Lin Youyou exclaimed in admiration.
"I only found out today..." Chen Lin smiled bitterly and gave Xiao Chen a resentful look.
The two families opposite took it seriously, and Xiao Hongyuan's face turned extremely gloomy.
Chen Lin was once the director of the Xiao family's private hospital, and they never knew that Chen Lin had such great power.
"Xiao Yiyi, what a mess you've made! You actually angered this great Buddha and drove him away! You've caused my Xiao family a huge loss!" Xiao Hongyuan's veins bulged.
All the members of the Xiao family glared at Xiao Yiyi, filled with resentment.
Xiao Yiyi had no words to express her suffering, and her expression was extremely unpleasant.
"Director Yang from the Provincial Medical Affairs Department has arrived!"
"Director Zhang from the General Affairs Bureau of Jinhu has come to offer his congratulations!"
……
The announcement rang out again at the street corner, and a group of special people arrived together.
Everyone was astonished once again.
These are all senior executives within a province, each one a high-ranking individual.
Xiao Chen asked Chen Lin to greet them at the door and arrange for them to sit down.
At this point, all eleven seats were filled.
Lin Hai finally understood why those clan leaders hadn't dared to sit down.
Each of the eleven chairs occupied a position of great power and influence.
"Ribbon cutting!"
With a loud shout, Xiao Chen officially began the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
This place is bustling with activity, while the opposite side is deserted and indifferent – a complete reversal from before.
The Xiao and Xia families stood there, watching unwillingly, unable to do anything.
"I really wish divine intervention would descend from the heavens right now and destroy everything they have!" Xiao Shanshan said through gritted teeth, clenching her fists.
The words had barely left his mouth...
"All irrelevant personnel, step back!"
A loud shout came from the street corner.
Everyone looked over, and then their expressions changed.
A line of military vehicles drove up, carrying fully equipped soldiers.
"That...that's Xia Peng!" The Xia family patriarch stared at the lead car for a while and was shocked to find that the person sitting in the passenger seat was none other than Xia Peng, the outstanding member of their Xia family and the chief of staff of the provincial garrison.
"It's like divine soldiers have descended from the heavens!"
In an instant, both families perked up and were filled with anticipation.
Because... Xia Peng is a member of the Xia family and was once a staunch defender of the marriage agreement between the two families, so he must have come to help this side.
"Xia Peng actually brought so many soldiers. I knew it. With his personality, how could he possibly let this go?" The Xia family patriarch beamed with joy.
“Very good, we still have a chance to turn things around! Tell him to find an excuse to bomb the clinic across the street, or shut it down!” Xiao Hongyuan said with a sneer.
They are not afraid even if there are many high-ranking and powerful people here.
After all, the military is a self-contained entity that cannot be easily interfered with by outsiders.
Soon, Xia Peng's military vehicle arrived, and the two family heads greeted him with smiles.
Xia Peng stepped out of the military vehicle, his demeanor cold and expressionless.
"Xia Peng, well done! You've come just in time!" The Xia family patriarch laughed and tried to pat him on the shoulder.
Unexpectedly, Xia Peng's eyes suddenly turned cold.
The next moment, his guards pressed their guns against the head of the Xia family patriarch.
This scene stunned both families, who looked at each other in disbelief.
"Xia Peng, what are you doing?" The Xia family patriarch trembled with fear and hurriedly asked.
"I'm here on official business. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to disturb me!" Xia Peng said coldly.
“You…” The Xia family looked at him with complete unfamiliarity, utterly bewildered.
Xia Peng actually turned against the family head?
What's going on?
Xia Peng ignored them and walked straight to Zhang Qin's clinic.
Xia Liuli immediately stood in front of Xiao Chen, her expression as cold as ice.
"Xia Peng, what are you planning to do now?" she questioned.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble today." Xia Peng smiled slightly, then ordered a guard to bring up a gift box.
"I have been ordered by Commander Lu of the Provincial Garrison to come and congratulate the clinic on its opening!" he said loudly.
"Congratulations?" Xia Liuli's mouth gaped slightly, unable to hide her surprise.
The Xiao and Xia families behind them stared wide-eyed, looking as if they had seen a ghost.
Xia Peng...is he congratulating the other side?
Is he alright?
"Damn it! Damn it!" The Xia family patriarch nearly fainted from anger.
That's a thorn in the side of the Xia family, how could he possibly try to please them?
This was a huge blow to the Xia family.
"Even the provincial garrison commander Lu Qingshan is doing this? Just how much influence does Chen Lin have?" Xiao Hongyuan found it hard to understand; his perception of the situation had been completely overturned.
"How did that unfilial son Xiao Chen end up being favored by such a person!" He felt suffocated, his heart pounding.
Xiao Chen knew perfectly well why Xia Peng had come, and calmly told Lin Youyou to accept the gift.
"I've come here today on orders, and there's one more thing," Xia Peng said, turning around with a cold expression.
"Many years ago, an evil organization rebelled and used the Bone-Corroding Water to poison many important figures in our Xia Kingdom. In the end, it was wiped out by our military. Afterwards, the decision-making level issued a strict order that the Bone-Corroding Water was listed as a prohibited drug. Anyone who uses it will be regarded as an accomplice of the rebels and will not be let off lightly!"
Upon hearing Xia Peng's words, the expressions of the Xiao and Xia families changed drastically.
They had no idea that the bone-corroding water used by Sun Youde had such a background, let alone any prohibitions.
"This...this has nothing to do with us! It was Sun Youde who used it without permission! We had no idea!" the Xia family head hurriedly shouted.
"Whether it's related or not, the military will investigate and find out." Xia Peng said indifferently, refusing to listen to any explanations.
"Arrest them all, leave no one alive!" he ordered.
The soldiers immediately sprang into action, pointing their guns at the Xiao and Xia families.
This terrified those people; those with weaker mental fortitude almost lost control of their bladders and collapsed to the ground.
"The clinic is shut down, and the staff are being taken away for questioning!" Xia Peng waved his hand.
"How could this happen!" Both families were completely baffled and utterly devastated.
They came to target Zhang Qin's clinic, but not only have they suffered repeated defeats, they are now facing imprisonment, and the ones who attacked them were their own people.
Who can I complain to about this?
Whether they were the heads of two families or young ladies of noble birth, they could only cower in fear before the guns, being forced onto military vehicles in terror.
This farce ended with both companies suffering a joint defeat, while Zhang Qin's clinic enjoyed immense success.
Amid the noise, another figure appeared beside Xiao Chen.
The White Guardian of the Underworld.
"Your Majesty, there's been some activity at the South City Law Enforcement Bureau's prison," he reported in a low voice.
