Chapter 495: You're cursing me, aren't you?

Su Yang encountered an ambulance from Xian Yiyuan midway, then transferred Gao Haisheng onto the ambulance. The doctor who came with the ambulance gave Gao Haisheng an IV, did a quick check, reassured Su Yang, and said there was no serious problem.

Two hours later, when they arrived at Xian Yiyuan, the hospital director was already waiting at the entrance of the emergency room.

Seeing Su Yang, he hurried forward, clasped Su Yang's hand with both hands, and said, "Director Su, nice to see you again, welcome, welcome."

Su Yang thought, "How is he speaking? Welcoming me to the hospital—thank goodness it's not the crematorium, otherwise I'd be damn pissed off."

The hospital director, overly excited and misspeaking, saw Su Yang's unpleasant expression, realized his mistake, and immediately said, "Look at my foul mouth—I meant to say Director Su has done another good deed."

Su Yang's face darkened further. "What do you mean by good deed? Are you cursing me to be a jinx or a trouble-maker?"

The hospital director kept slipping up today; he slapped his own face and said, "Look at my foul mouth—I just meant that you got the wounded here in time, a spirit worth learning and praising."

Su Yang waved his hand and said, "Enough, stop talking. Hurry and send the patient to the operating room—perform surgery if needed, give treatment if needed."

He really couldn't bear to listen any longer; who knows, they might end up cursing his whole family.

The hospital director was no petty clown; if he really had such low EQ, he wouldn't even be fit to be hospital director, let alone clinic director—it would be superfluous.

His today's overexcited, agitated, and unnatural behavior was entirely because he learned from Tan Donglai about Su Yang and Zhou Ruohan's relationship.

Otherwise, don't think the clinic director's rank and position are inferior to the township chief's; he's still quite full of himself.

That's just the county hospital director; if he were the director of the Provincial People's Hospital, frankly, even the county magistrate and county party secretary might not get an audience with him. Only a prefectural-level city mayor or similar would be granted a meeting—he's that arrogant.

But the relationship between Su Yang and Zhou Ruohan speaks for itself; although Su Yang may not be able to do anything to this hospital director, a single word from Zhou Ruohan could see him transferred tomorrow to become a member of the Xiushui Mountain Forest Ranger Team.

Seeing Su Yang's dark face, the director hurried off to the operating room, pretending to be busy, preparing to make endless mistakes—hopefully it'll improve; otherwise he might be in trouble.

Su Yang went to Wei Xiaohai's ward, saw him reading a book on tourism development, and smiled, saying, "You're studying even while hospitalized—if all the workers in Xiushui Xiang had a tenth of your diligence, I think Xiushui Xiang's economy would have taken off by now."

Wei Xiaohai didn't expect Su Yang to return suddenly; he said a bit embarrassedly, "Nothing, just killing time with nothing to do, reading to pass the time. But I feel I could be discharged in a few days; staying in the hospital makes me restless, I can't stay put."

Su Yang said, "Just focus on healing your wound; your body is the foundation of revolution."

At this point, Wei Xiaohai continued, "Director Su, I actually still want to go back to the countryside. The situation there sounds chaotic now; being by your side, I can at least occasionally gather information and lend you a hand. Moreover, you know our local leaders—they look prim and proper but are actually bold as anything, capable of any deed."

Su Yang immediately realized Wei Xiaohai was talking about today's incident. First, Bai Yutang repeatedly said they wanted to block the news and never let it leak, but the fact that the hospitalized Wei Xiaohai already knew shows the story has spread far and wide—this has only been a couple of hours since it happened.

Previously we thought Cui Mingjiu was the malignant tumor of Xiushui Xiang; removing him might improve things greatly. But now it seems Bai Yutang is the venomous snake hiding in the dark corner. He had lain low under Cui Mingjiu's intimidation, but now that Cui Mingjiu is gone, he has burst forth eagerly. Fortunately, Su Yang's own ability is solid and his backing strong; otherwise, he couldn't withstand Bai Yutang's deadly strike.

"Ah, no need. I underestimated these people in the countryside; such an incident happened once, I will never give them a chance for a second. Moreover, there's still no solid evidence proving that this was done by Gao Haisheng and his group."

Wei Xiaohai said, "Director Su, you're really a kind-hearted old soul. At this time, you're still speaking up for them. If no one deliberately piles stones there, where would the stones come from? Others may not know the situation on Xiushui Mountain, but those who live regularly in Xiushui Xiang certainly would."

Su Yang smiled and said, "Alright, I understand your intentions. Anyway, such a thing happening once is already going against the norm—it won't happen a second time. Besides, I have Comrade Xiang Donglai by my side."

"How could an accident happen? Rest and recover, then return to the countryside; I will also entrust you with an important task."

While Su Yang and Wei Xiaohai were still talking, his phone rang—first calls from Xie Siyang and Gao Peixia. Their words, aside from concern, were angry rebukes of Bai Yutang, Gao Haisheng, and others, especially Xie Siyang, who threatened to file a complaint in the province. This made Su Yang feel both amused and warmed; he soothed them with a few kind words, and Xie Siyang abandoned the idea of going to the province to sue.

He had just hung up when Sun Chengjun called. His tone was calm but his anger showed: "I say this isn't right—otherwise, transfer me over. I could work as a deputy director there, just a promotion. They say poor mountains and wicked waters produce scoundrels, but I never expected the Xiushui Xiang township cadres to be so bold, daring to do anything."

"I'm by your side, and I want to see who dares to lay a hand on you. Last time they incited the common people to cause trouble, I wanted to speak up, but having just arrived at Huatian Town, not much time has passed; going to Xiushui Xiang would be inconvenient for deployment and would invite gossip. But I can't hold back anymore—I want these people to know what the People's Police are for. As long as I go there, whoever dares to strike you with a black hand, I'll make them regret being human."

Su Yang said, "You're crazy—what could happen to me? Besides, Comrade Donglai here is trustworthy. Furthermore, the chief of Huatian Town Paichusuo coming here to serve as a deputy director—even if it's a promotion, it would hinder your development; besides, there's no deputy director position at all. The Xiushui Xiang Paichusuo has only a handful of staff, and transferring cadres isn't easy. Even though we're in the same county, frequent transfers aren't simple either."

Sun Chengjun said: "Then you don't need to worry; I have a way to get it transferred."
