How terrifying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did this come about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, everyone’s eyes turned back to Lin Dong. Even the doctors, who had been practicing for decades, had never seen such a thing as a Gu fetus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly unheard of!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong explained to the crowd, “The pregnant woman has been cursed with a Gu. Someone has been using her fetus to cultivate a ‘mother Gu’.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone gasped in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… this is just too cruel!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost everyone looked distressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, they were frightened by such brutal methods. On the other, they were grinding their teeth in anger at such actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who could do such a thing was nothing short of a beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man clenched his fists, his eyes red-rimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the pregnant woman, she was continuously wiping her tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong also sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This fetus is already dead, and moreover, it’s filled with Gu worms; it needs to be dealt with.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Wende spoke up, “The hospital will take care of it. We will have them cremated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong glanced at Huang Wende and gave a slight nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could have directly performed Internal Qi Transformation and incinerated them with a burst of flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, after thinking about it, there was no need to show such a technique in front of everyone. Besides, to be honest, even though the fetus was dead, Lin Dong still felt a psychological barrier to taking action himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was better to leave it to the hospital to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The husband and wife also nodded in agreement, though with pain in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Huang Wende had someone take the Gu fetus away to be cremated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the couple, they were now expressing their gratitude to Lin Dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man said, “Doctor Lin Dong, thank you for stepping in. You saved my wife’s life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong waved his hand, “It’s only natural for a doctor to cure diseases.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That may be true, but there are few doctors like you who dare to take responsibility and are wholeheartedly considerate of their patients!” said the middle-aged man bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong sighed deeply; such problems were not something he could change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, the matter is resolved. As for your threatening Director Wang Changjun with a knife, you should negotiate a solution among yourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong was just a doctor, not a policeman. Such matters were not his responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having cured the pregnant woman, he was ready to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, nearly everyone applauded Lin Dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong’s reputation in the hospital had also been further enhanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was about to leave, the heads of various departments came one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doctor Lin Dong, I am the head of the Neurology Department. If we encounter patients we can’t handle in the future, may we ask for Doctor Lin Dong’s assistance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doctor Lin Dong, I am the head of the Urology Department. If we encounter patients we can’t treat, please be sure to help us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doctor Lin Dong, I am the Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Are you interested in joining our department?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong was continuously agreeing to the previous requests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the last one he really couldn’t agree to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology, I apologize, but my expertise is in Traditional Chinese Medicine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology said, “But I was truly amazed by your induction method just now. To be honest, I’ve been in this field for decades, and yet I feel inadequate in comparison.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doctor Lin Dong, if it really isn’t possible, how about taking on an advisory role in our department?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong felt awkward and waved his hand in refusal once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With some difficulty, Lin Dong finally managed to extricate himself from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then made his way back to Elder Qiao’s sickroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, Vice President Huang Wende watched Lin Dong’s retreating figure with a cold glint in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just you wait. No one who offends me gets away with it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong and others like Qiao Bing returned to Elder Qiao’s sickroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Qiao lay in the hospital bed, oblivious to the scene that had just unfolded, but others chattered away, giving a rough account of the recent events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Elder Qiao’s smile deepened, and he looked at Lin Dong with increasing fondness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze seemed to drift as he reminisced, possibly recalling some distant past events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then thinking of his own current physical condition, he couldn’t help but sigh internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Dong, I don’t have much time left, and I’m preparing to be discharged from the hospital. Could you take me back home?” Elder Qiao asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course,” Lin Dong nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xue, Qiao Bing, and others all spoke up, saying they wanted to send Elder Qiao home together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The relatives were also ‘enthusiastical’, such as Chu Lan and Chu Yunhai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Elder Qiao waved his hand, “Go do your own things; busy yourselves with what’s important. Lin Dong taking me home is enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are some things, I want to discuss alone with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the others dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Dong was left to take Elder Qiao home alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at Qiao’s Villa, Elder Qiao suddenly said:“Lin Dong, having felt my pulse, you must know. My time is short, isn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, even Lin Dong fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>",982,"2026-06-06T01:28:03.114Z",1,"novelbin.me","3cf5abffea1d91bab7a866cd344d6410a462a4819d26986d1e232fa5a5d7e067","urban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-chapter-448","urban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-chapter-446",2938,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-cover.jpg"]
