Do You Know Who I Am?

"What are you doing? Don't touch my mom, don't touch my mom."

Qin Xueqing had never seen anything like this. Already frail by nature, the scare left her completely flustered.

"Hmph, I tried talking nicely, but you wouldn't listen. Had to force it—serves you right."

"Look at your place in the world, daring to bark at me here. What do you think you are?" the middle-aged woman sneered.

Bang!

But just then, the ward door was suddenly shoved open, followed by a furious roar.

"Everyone, stop right there."

It was Lin Chen who spoke, his expression dark and ugly.

He never imagined the hospital's doctor could be so arrogant and overbearing.

Maybe that was just the problem with the private hospital system.

Ding-dong. System mission issued: deal with Director Zhao and reform the private hospital system. Rewards will be given based on completion level.

Yet, the moment he pushed through the door, the system's mission prompt rang out in his mind.

"Got to say, this Director Zhao is asking for it. For both personal and public reasons, I have to take him down today, or who knows how many more will suffer."

Lin Chen thought to himself, then pushed the door open and bellowed.

"Everyone, stop right there."

"Lin Chen."

Seeing Lin Chen arrive, Qin Xueqing seemed to find her anchor. She hurried over and threw herself into his arms.

"Wuwuwu... Lin Chen, help me, please help me."

All the grievance she'd held back poured out in that moment, tears streaming down like they cost nothing.

Looking at the beautiful Qin Xueqing sobbing in his arms, Lin Chen felt an inexplicable pang in his heart.

And deep in his eyes, the fury burned like a long-suppressed volcano erupting into a raging blaze.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here. No one's touching you today." Lin Chen patted her back gently, his voice full of concern.

"Kid, who let you in? Get the hell out of here." The middle-aged woman's voice turned dark and heavy.

No one had expected it, so when Lin Chen burst in, the middle-aged woman was genuinely startled.

"Get out? You're not qualified to say that."

Lin Chen glared, his face sinking to its darkest.

The commotion in the ward had already drawn onlookers from the hallway, who were now murmuring outside the door.

"Damn, who is that woman? Isn't she going too far? Kicking someone out when they're clearly a critical patient?"

"Exactly. She doesn't even look that hurt—just a bruised hand—and she wants a bed? What a waste of medical resources."

"Waste is one thing. What's really infuriating is that Director Zhao. He's supposed to be a doctor saving lives, but now he's ganging up with outsiders to bully patients. He's an animal."

"Sigh, what can you do? It's a private hospital with the best doctors and equipment in the city. No one's going to step in."

"I think the real culprit is that woman. Without her, none of this would've happened."

"Hey hey hey, stop talking. Even if you're not scared, I am. Let's scatter. If she hears us, we'll be in for it."

No one knew who said that, but it instantly drew scorn from all the men.

"Are you even a man? Scared of a woman? Look at your spine."

"Yeah, look at you. Embarrassing all of us men."

The man shot back irritably, "Don't say I didn't warn you. I've seen her on TV. She's the wife of one of this hospital's major shareholders. Mess with her, and you might never get treatment here again."

"Don't forget—the city's best doctors and equipment are all right here."

At that, the once-righteous men deflated. Some of the more timid ones even started trembling.

"What? She's the wife of a hospital shareholder? No wonder she's so arrogant."

"Good thing I held back and didn't charge in, or I'd be in deep trouble like that kid."

"Yeah, he seems like a decent young man. Too bad he picked the wrong person to cross. His ending's probably going to be ugly."

Soon, the onlookers all dispersed. They might stand up for justice, but only as long as it didn't hurt their own interests.

Otherwise, let someone else deal with it...

"Not qualified? Kid, do you know who I am?"

"I'm the wife of this hospital's top shareholder. One phone call from me, and none of you will ever be eligible for treatment here again."

With that, the middle-aged woman even puffed out her chest.

Clearly, she took great pride in being the wife of the hospital's largest shareholder.

It was a power that let her completely control life and death.

But Lin Chen paid her no mind. In fact, a faint smirk of contempt curled at his lips.

"I'm afraid you haven't gotten the news yet."

"It doesn't hurt to tell you—I've already bought ninety percent of this hospital's shares. I'm the biggest shareholder now."

The middle-aged woman laughed out loud on the spot, as if she'd just heard the funniest joke.

"You? The biggest shareholder? With ninety percent of the shares?"

"Who do you think you are? Talking big like that—aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?"

She looked at Lin Chen as if he were an idiot, then her expression shifted as she turned to Director Zhao beside her.

"Director Zhao, what are you standing there for? Get someone to throw him out."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Director Zhao was already fuming inside. He'd finally found a chance to suck up, and because of these people, not only had his flattery fallen flat, but he might even offend this woman.

She could even pin a charge of incompetence on him, and then his benefits would take a serious hit.

At that thought, Director Zhao could no longer hold back his rage. He barked at the doctors nearby, "What are you all standing around for? Get them out of here now."

"And that patient too—throw them all out."

"Yes."

But just as the doctors were about to move in and toss everyone out, another angry shout rang from the door.

"Stop right there!"

The man who arrived was none other than the hospital's director, Feng Yong.

His face was flushed red and pale by turns as he walked in.

"Director, what brings you here?"

Seeing it was Feng Yong, Director Zhao immediately put on a fawning smile and scurried over—after all, he was also a shareholder.

"Director Feng, perfect timing. This brat is openly impersonating a hospital shareholder and has repeatedly blocked me from being admitted. I want you to have him thrown out."

The middle-aged woman's confidence swelled even more when she saw Feng Yong, since he was the hospital's top director.

But Feng Yong didn't even glance at them. Instead, he bowed directly to the man beside him and said, "Mr. Lin, my apologies. I had planned to welcome you properly, but I never imagined we'd meet like this."
