So I will ensure a regular update of four chapters per day, which will continue over the New Year holidays, and there will be no extra updates on weekends. Thank you for your understanding.)

Luo Ziling, facing so much criticism from the public and ongoing belittlement, grew even angrier.
âIf only your medical skills were as formidable as your speech,â Luo Ziling retorted stiffly, âYou havenât seen my medical skills, so on what basis do you claim that I am unqualified? Dean Wu and Director Li are renowned figures in the medical community. They have witnessed my medical skills, and thatâs why they acknowledged me. You havenât seen anything, what gives you the right to make a fuss? If you had seen my medical skills and genuinely thought I was no good, then I would accept your words. But the way you are now, to put it bluntly, youâre nothing more than frogs at the bottom of a well.â
Yang Qingyin and Yang Qingye, who were watching the commotion from the doorway, were both shocked and impressed to see Luo Ziling holding no punches in his angry retort back at so many people, calling them âfrogs at the bottom of a wellâ.
âSis, your husband is awesome, daring to call these people âfrogs at the bottom of a wellâ,â Yang Qingye whispered to Yang Qingyin, who was maintaining a cool expression, âYour husband really has guts. Do you think heâll get into an argument with dad later? I think, for sure, dad wonât let him get involved in this.â
âShut up and just watch. Donât blabber,â Yang Qingyin, who was also upset that so many people were targeting Luo Ziling, retorted irritably.
Thus, when Yang Qingye spoke to her, she showed an impatient demeanor.
Yang Qingye immediately clammed up, but he leaned forward even more to listen.
Luo Zilingâs remarks were like lighting a fuse; they immediately set many people off. Those who had been sitting civilly to discuss the medical case all stood up and began clamoring at Luo Ziling, ignoring the presence of so many officials seated nearby.
As the argument became increasingly heated, Li Minglai could no longer hold back and, after a few forceful coughs, shouted imperatively, âQuiet down, everyone!â
âThose whom your Western medicine couldnât cure, I have healed using our Huaxiaâs traditional medicine,â Luo Ziling went on, seizing the opportunity to speak as those people fell silent under Li Minglaiâs authority, and said proudly, âIf you knew about the conditions of the patients that I have cured, I bet even if you were threatened with a gun to repeat what you just said, you wouldnât dare. Calling you âfrogs at the bottom of a wellâ is by no means unjustified. Just by the fact that you canât resolve the current dilemma and canât cure these critical patients, I dare to call you out like this.â
âDo you mean to say that you are absolutely certain you can cure them?â Zhang Guodong, struggling to contain his anger, glared at Luo Ziling and asked, âCan you guarantee it?â
âAs a medical practitioner, when can anything in medicine be guaranteed one hundred percent?â Luo Ziling didnât take Zhang Guodongâs provocation; âI havenât yet met the patients; I donât know their condition. If I promised to definitely cure them without having seen them yet, then I wouldnât be a doctor, but rather a charlatan!â
âThen what gives you the right to call us âfrogs at the bottom of a wellâ?â Another older expert, unable to restrain himself, angrily retorted.
Luo Ziling replied calmly and confidently, âBut I can assure you, I can help you solve this problem.â
âWhat an arrogant claim,â Li Minglai was somewhat unable to tolerate Luo Zilingâs cockiness, but he didnât continue to squabble with Luo Ziling. Instead, he instructed Wu Mingyun, âHave him leave, donât let him disturb our discussion of the diagnosis and treatment plan.â
While saying this, Li Minglai also glanced at Yang Yunlin, who was sitting quietly.
âMayor Yang hasnât expressed his opinion yet; what right do you have to ask me to leave?â Luo Ziling, angered by being confronted by so many, responded sharply to Li Minglai, then stepped forward to Mayor Yang, raising his voice, âDoes Mayor Yang share this attitude as well? If so, then I will leave right away. Plenty of people are seeking my help, and I will not concern myself further.â
Yang Yunlin did not answer immediately but raised his eyes to look at Luo Ziling a few times.
He was aware of Luo Zilingâs treatment of Ling Jinhua and Li Haiyang; he completely believed in Luo Zilingâs medical skills.
Li Haiyang, whom so many medical experts had given up on as incurable, was able to get up and walk under Luo Zilingâs treatment.
And Ling Jinhua, who had been at deathâs door, had his life prolonged thanks to Luo Ziling.
It is said that after several months of Luo Zilingâs treatment, Old Master Ling Jinhua is now looking very well, with a good appetite. Just two days ago, he even went out for a walk, which surprised many people.
Without mentioning anything else, just these two peopleâs conditions are enough to clarify the situation.
However, he is very dissatisfied with Luo Ziling, otherwise, he would have expressed his stance already.
Yang Yunlin didnât expect that Luo Ziling would directly ask him about his attitude in front of so many people.
This was akin to staging a coup.
Therefore, he subconsciously wanted to publicly reprimand Luo Ziling and cause him to lose face.
But considering that there were so many patients waiting for treatment and their lives needed saving, he couldnât allow any turmoil now that might threaten his promotion; thus, he needed someone to help him resolve this trouble. He absolutely could not drive Luo Ziling away.
Yang Yunlin made his decision in an instant.
âYou go and check on the patients first,â Yang Yunlin said in a voice that wasnât very loud, âAfter youâve assessed the condition of those critical patients, we will come back and discuss the prognosis and treatment plan.â
Yang Yunlinâs words left many people present dumbfounded.
Especially the officials from the Health and Family Planning Commission and Deputy Dean Zhang Guodong of the affiliated hospital, who had just strongly opposed allowing Luo Ziling to join the panel discussion.
In their wildest dreams, they never expected Yang Yunlin to agree to let Luo Ziling be involved in the diagnosis and treatment of this tricky respiratory infection case.
Even, they sensed a newfound respect from Yanjingâs highest administrative officer for Luo Ziling.
They were baffled as to why things turned out this way.
But with Yang Yunlin having declared his position, even if they were bold and dissatisfied, they didnât dare stand out and voice different opinions anymore.
Luo Ziling, who faced Yang Yunlin with pride, showed a slight smile.
Yang Yunlin was not acting on personal feelings, he did not abandon the public for personal reasons, or let hatred for him lead to his exclusion from the discussion or demand his dismissal; Luo Ziling had to admit to a grudging respect for Yang Yunlin.
Yang Qingyin and Yang Qingye, who were sneaking peeks and eavesdropping outside the door, also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing their father speak like this.
It seemed that their father still prioritized the bigger picture and didnât let personal emotions affect his decision-making.
They also hoped that Luo Ziling would live up to expectations and completely resolve the incident.
In that case, no one would hold Luo Zilingâs arrogance against him, and his reputation in the medical field would be established.
Especially Yang Qingyin, whose sense of expectation was stronger than anyoneâs.
She even felt the urge to rush in and instruct Luo Ziling to do his utmost in treating the patients and to ensure all of them were cured.
