For this, he had even called all his relatives and friends, determined to make this unscrupulous hospital issue a refund!
Yu Gaoās expression turned ugly upon hearing this. He took a deep breath and said again, "Your treatment item is a regular charge. There were no violations, and without a valid reason, we will not refund the money."
"No valid reason?"
But the young man was furious. "I spent over twenty thousand and underwent treatment for three months with no effect whatsoever! Isnāt that reason enough?" he accused. "Ultimately, your hospital is just corrupt! Youāre just using your size and power to bully us common folk! You think I donāt know? Many doctors in your hospital own three properties each in Jin City. Donāt you have any idea how they got them? And that Han Dongting? I hear he owns five in Jin City! Iām telling you, others might be afraid of you, but Iām not! Either you refund the money today, or this hospital is shutting down!"
Saying this, he waved the fruit knife in his hand, blocking the hospitalās main entrance and preventing anyone from entering or leaving.
"Director, Iāve been trying to explain it to him for ages, but he just wonāt listen..." His attending doctor stepped forward and whispered to Yu Gao.
Yu Gao clenched his teeth, his face ashen. Looking at the dozen or so people blocking the entrance, he felt utterly helpless.
More than ten seconds later, he sighed softly and said to the staff behind him, "Get security. Letās move them aside first so they donāt disrupt other patients."
He had been in the profession for decades and had encountered dozens of medical disputes, large and small. Each time this kind of thing happened, it always gave him an immense headache. These patients each had their reasons, all feeling they had been deceived and exploited, and insisted on getting an explanation. And those unscrupulous media outlets... upon learning of such news, would often report it one-sidedly, taking the patientsā side. They would level accusations against their hospital, causing its reputation to steadily worsen. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he didnāt want to escalate the situation, preferring to resolve it internally through negotiation.
A few minutes later, seven or eight security guards arrived and attempted to disperse the dozen or so individuals involved in the medical dispute, but they were met with fierce resistance from the young man.
He kept waving the fruit knife, confronting the security guards. He had an air of defiance, as if heād rather die than submit.
The security guards, accustomed to a comfortable life, had never witnessed such a ferocious scene. For a moment, they dared not advance.
The situation suddenly reached a standoff.
"Director, perhaps... we should call the police?" his attending doctor whispered, seeing the situation escalating.
Yu Gao frowned but shook his head. "Donāt call the police yet. Letās see if we can resolve this first."
As the director, he cherished the hospitalās reputation above all. If they called the police... the matter would escalate and become public. Sanhe Hospital would likely face public condemnation from the people of Jin City once more.
However, amidst the standoff and the heavy silence, Qin Muās voice suddenly rang out, "Hello? 110? Yes, I want to report something. Iām at a hospital where thereās a medical dispute..."
His voice was incredibly clear, echoing through the hospital lobby.
The knife-wielding young man, who was in a standoff with the security guards, couldnāt help but turn towards the sound, his eyes fixing intently on Qin Mu.
In his eyes, Qin Mu wasnāt wearing a white coat or a hospital uniform. He had to be a patient, just like him. Yet this patient was actually a traitor, siding with the hospital and helping them call the police! If he werenāt currently tied up with the security guards, he would have rushed over to Qin Mu to āhave a wordā with him right now.
Two minutes later.
"Alright, alright, please hurry. I canāt even leave the hospital right now. Who knows what might happen if youāre late." Qin Mu nodded, concluding his call to the police. He appeared relaxed, completely fearless.
But Wang Dachui, standing beside him, was so frightened by the young manās glare that his legs began to tremble.
He hadnāt expected Qin Mu to be so audaciousācalling the police in such a public place, right in front of everyone! Especially when that young man was holding a knife. If this provoked the other party... there was no telling what he might do.
Throughout the hospital lobby, all the onlookers, as well as the hospital staff, couldnāt help but stare at Qin Mu, their faces etched with extremely complex expressions: shock, admiration, and even resentment.
Take Yu Gao, for example. At that moment, he too was looking at Qin Mu, who stood out starkly from the crowd, unsure of what to say.
He hadnāt wanted to escalate things. Yet here was this reckless young man... who, without any warning, had just called the police in front of everyone. In his decades of practice, having encountered dozens of medical disputes, he had never seen a mere āonlookerā act so brazenly. In his experience, medical disputes always drew large crowds of curious onlookers. But most people... chose to mind their own business and remain aloof. No one would voluntarily help call the police. Even if someone did, they would do it furtively, from a hidden corner. But Qin Mu? He stood right in the middle of the hospital lobby, openly picking up his phone, almost as if he were afraid the troublemakers *wouldnāt* see him.
"Why is everyone looking at me?" Qin Mu glanced around the crowd and shrugged. "No need to thank me. Iām just a concerned citizen. The police will be here soon."
With that, he simply pulled over a stool from nearby and sat down to wait patiently.
Nearby, Wang Dachui swallowed hard.
Somehow, standing next to Qin Mu, he always felt a knot of fear in his stomach. There was an inexplicable sense of danger.
