Chapter 659: I Don't Want to Spread Rumors with One Mouth and Run My Legs Off Refuting Them

Now Liu Chuxue was truly panicked, her heart aching as she said, "It took so much effort for the scab to form; are you trying to throw your life away?"

Fu Yan Cheng, however, spoke with resolute determination, "I cannot let you be bullied right under my nose. If I cannot even protect my own fiancée, how can I speak of defending our home and country?"

Dean Duan's expression was full of shame. A military hospital was meant to save lives and heal the wounded, yet it had repeatedly allowed the families of soldiers to be bullied. "Where are the people from the Security Department? What are they eating?"

The Security Department personnel, who had been hiding in the crowd, quickly squeezed forward. "Dean, we are here."

Dean Duan, his face grim, said, "With such a huge commotion, you couldn't hear it or handle it? Then what are you here for?"

Cao Chunwang, the head of the Security Department, broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing these words. "The duty personnel: one helped take a patient away, and the other did not dare to leave their post without authorization. By the time we heard the commotion and came over, it was already too late."

Dean Duan was so angry he laughed. "Did not dare to leave their post without authorization? Explain to me what that means."

Director Cao knew his answer was indeed far-fetched, but who could blame him when the troublemaker was Director Hu's wife? Besides, Ma Lanhua only started shouting and screaming after entering the inpatient building, truly giving them no chance to react. Yet, whatever he said now was wrong.

Dean Duan took a deep breath and looked at Liu Chuxue. "Comrade Liu, please believe us. We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. How about we don't trouble the Public Security officers? Is that acceptable?"

At first, Liu Chuxue wanted to make a big scene, but seeing that Dean Duan's temples were already streaked with gray and he still had to humbly beg for the hospital's reputation, she couldn't help but soften her heart. "That is acceptable, but I require Ma Lanhua to clarify the matter in front of everyone. After all, she called me a vixen. I do not want to spread rumors with just a mouth, only to have my legs run off trying to refute them. I believe everyone present understands that words can be terrifying."

Seeing that the other party had already made a concession, Dean Duan naturally agreed wholeheartedly. With such a huge incident, it was certain the cover-up would not hold.

Comrade Liu was right; coming to slander someone out of the blue naturally required a clear explanation.

Ma Lanhua was currently furious. Though afraid, she refused to cooperate. "I am not wrong. She has no compassion. She interfered where she did not belong and ruined our family's good days."

At this moment, Tang Xinrui stepped forward. "You are simply unreasonable. How can you have the face to say such things?"

"Your mother stealing food from the patient kitchen is not a one-time or two-time occurrence. When caught, she refuses to admit her mistake. When she cannot steal a drink, she shamelessly begs the families for it. When they refuse, she throws a tantrum and blackmails others. And you still think you are right?"

"What is most unexpected is that they clearly let you off the hook, yet you come back to settle the score, using ambiguous words to turn black into white. Since that is the case, I too must demand the hospital give me an explanation."

She directly took off the shoe on her foot, enduring the stinging pain, and took off her sock as well. "Your mother injured me like this. I demand an explanation from the hospital, from Director Hu, and from you, Ma Lanhua, and your mother."

This was not all; Tang Xinrui rolled up her pant legs.

Both calves were covered in large patches of burns, with some areas showing signs of pus. Her feet were even more unbearable to look at because the socks had stuck to the wounds, and when she removed them just now, the skin was torn off. It was truly unbearable to witness. "I had not thought of seeking you out, yet you turn around and bite back, coming after Comrade Liu. You truly have no shame left."

Although the words were directed at Ma Lanhua, they struck Director Hu's face like a slap, making him feel a burning pain. This time, it was not just a matter of losing face; the position under his buttocks was truly lost.
