From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor-Chapter 237 - 215: A Promise Worth a Thousand Gold

Cheng Xiaohong asked if there was anything she could help with, and Zhao Xiaohui said no, she was just at the hospital for a routine check-up.

After the two parted ways, Cheng Xiaohong quickly called Xu Chunliang to tell him that she had met Zhao Xiaohui, and it seemed she was not in a good mood. Cheng Xiaohong was somewhat apprehensive like being once bitten, twice shy, worried she might bring up old grievances.

Xu Chunliang told her not to worry; since Zhao Xiaohui had already signed the understanding agreement, she wouldn't go back on her word.

They chatted about work for a while. Cheng Xiaohong complained a bit; indeed, after Xu Chunliang had just left, things were relatively calm for a while, but recently medical disputes have surged, and she had to work overtime almost every day, nearly always getting scolded.

Cheng Xiaohong was about to break down, asking Xu Chunliang if he needed an assistant. She would rather go to the Weishan Island Branch to work with him.

Actually, she was just venting. If she really had to go to Weishan Island, she would still have to consider it, after all, she was currently in a passionate relationship and didn't want to endure the hardships of a long-distance relationship.

Xu Chunliang suggested she could try talking to Gao Xinhua. A girl working in the medical office indeed had too much pressure, and she could switch to a relatively more relaxed department. If Cheng Xiaohong really had such a thought, he could help by putting in a word with Gao Xinhua.

Cheng Xiaohong expressed her gratitude to him, saying she wouldn't make any moves for the time being, since the hospital was about to face restructuring, and it was better to wait and see.

Cheng Xiaohong was also very considerate, as getting help from others usually costs money. Certainly, Gao Xinhua would have no problem helping her transfer, but a gesture would be expected afterward.

Now that Changxing Hospital was pushing for reform, no one knew what the future would hold. If the leadership changed, they'd have to start with new connections. Although Cheng Xiaohong's position wasn't high, she had worked for several years and was quite shrewd in these matters.

Just then, Secretary Tan Haiyan came looking for him. Since Tan Haiyan started working at the Weishan Lake Branch, there hasn't been much of a presence, and many employees didn't even know this new secretary.

There was an understanding between Tan Haiyan and Xu Chunliang that it was enough for one of them to stay and handle affairs at the branch as nothing major was happening here recently.

Tan Haiyan didn't contest for power or benefits and viewed everything with an open mind. In everyday matters, she would consult Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang always told her it wasn't necessary, but Tan Haiyan insisted on doing so. This time she came to say she wanted to go back for two days: one to attend a meeting and another to handle things at home, which meant cleaning and doing chores since her man at home was utterly unreliable.

Xu Chunliang told her to leave as she wished, as he would be there to oversee things.

Some people live indifferent to worldly concerns, some are content with simplicity, and some find joy in contentment. Xu Chunliang was none of these. In the Weishan Island Hospital, apart from practicing, he didn't have much else to do.

Originally intending to cultivate his mind with Town Mayor Mei, but recently Mayor Mei's attitude towards him had plummeted, possibly due to her period. The two were temporarily out of touch.

The property issue of Weishan Island Hospital was already settled, and there was no reason for Xu Chunliang to interact with Mayor Mei at work.

Xu Chunliang saw these things as a form of self-cultivation. If he couldn't control even this bit of emotion, how could he practice the "Heavenly Connection Manual"?

Over time, Xu Chunliang's desire to practice the "Heavenly Connection Manual" wasn't as intense as when he first came.

In the past, the purpose of practice was to get stronger and stronger, to ensure the Five Poison Sect wouldn't fade and dominate the martial world. But now there's no more Five Poison Sect, and this peaceful era lacks masters, so even without practice, he seemed to already be a top-notch master.

This also had to do with the slow progress in his meridian restoration; unless he could gather the entire "Heaven Cultivation," could he reconstruct the Innate Vein. Without this foundation, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't succeed in the "Heavenly Connection Manual."

Of course, it also had a lot to do with Xu Chunliang's current environment. He suddenly found the intrigues and cunning in the system quite interesting. While not as sensational as the past's grand scenes, this undercurrent of clever fighting also brought new satisfaction. Such struggles should be the sublimation of martial combat, equally thrilling without smoke.

Xu Chunliang's peaceful life was finally disrupted by a late-night phone call.

On the night Tan Haiyan left, around midnight, Zhao Xiaohui called with just one sentence—Save my... child...

Xu Chunliang was startled when he heard it, instantly wide awake. He tried calling back but got no response. After a while, someone called asking if he was a relative of the injured. Zhao Xiaohui was in a car accident, crashing into a bridge pier, and was rushed to Changxing Hospital for emergency treatment. Whether she could be out of danger was still unknown, with background noise containing ambulance sirens.

Xu Chunliang realized the situation must be very serious.

By this time, the ferry had long stopped. Xu Chunliang called Wang Jinwu, asking him to help take him back to Dongzhou.

Sure, here is the translated text:

Wang Jinwu was taken aback by the phone call. The matter was too sudden. Nevertheless, he agreed without hesitation. Xu Chunliang rarely asked for favors. Since he did, it must be an urgent matter.

When Wang Jinwu arranged for the yacht, Xu Chunliang was already riding his motorcycle to the farm pier. Seeing his cold expression made Wang Jinwu shiver inside; he sensed an unprecedented murderous aura from Xu Chunliang.

After boarding, Xu Chunliang contacted the hospital. Zhao Xiaohui had already been rushed into the operating room. Given her severe condition—multiple organ injuries—several experts were already arranged for joint consultation and surgery. Upon hearing that Yu Mo was among them, Xu Chunliang immediately called her.

Yu Mo had just learned of the injured person's identity and sighed at how small the world was. She really seemed to have a connection with Zhao Xiaohui. However, when facing a patient, she thought of nothing else—her sole aim was to save the life.

Xu Chunliang told Yu Mo that Zhao Xiaohui was pregnant and to do her best to save the fetus.

Yu Mo was stunned upon hearing that. How did Xu Chunliang know about Zhao Xiaohui's pregnancy?

Nevertheless, Yu Mo was grateful for the crucial information Xu Chunliang provided. She informed him that several medicine bottles were found in Zhao Xiaohui's car. The police had drawn her blood to test for illegal substances.

Zhao Xiaohui had multiple organ injuries, and some of her wounds didn't seem to be from the crash but from a violent beating. She would do everything possible to save Zhao Xiaohui, though it was uncertain whether she could be saved. As for the fetus, its fate was up to chance.

Xu Chunliang hung up and angrily punched the air, shouting, "Beast!"

Zhao Xiaohui definitely wanted to keep the child. How could she have taken illegal drugs? The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he got. Who beat her, and was there a connection between them and the drugs she took?

Raging with fury inside, Xu Chunliang heard Zhao Xiaohui's helpless voice echoing in his mind. If not pushed to desperation, why else would she call him at that particular moment and say such words?

Indeed, Zhao Xiaohui had called Xu Chunliang the day before, hanging up after two rings. When he called back, she claimed it was a misdial, which he hadn't been concerned about then.

Thinking back on Cheng Xiaohong's words, Xu Chunliang felt more guilty. He had been too negligent. Zhao Xiaohui's call hadn't been a mistake. If only he'd asked more questions, she might have told him what happened—she was hesitant and in need of his help.

He had made promises to Zhao Xiaohui. Be he good or bad, a man should keep his word. He promised to resolve her troubles and assured her that if any man dared bully her, he would stand up for her.

Xu Chunliang was nearly certain that Zhao Xiaohui's tragedy was linked to the man who remained hidden. He found it unimaginable that any man could harm his woman and child.

Wang Jinwu approached Xu Chunliang and gently advised, "No matter the situation, you shouldn't rush. Tell me if there's a way I can help?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Zhao Xiaohui had a car accident!"

"What?" Wang Jinwu had a very good impression of Zhao Xiaohui—she was beautiful, cheerful, lively, capable, and enthusiastic. Just a few days ago, she voluntarily helped promote Xianhong Farm on Weishan Island. It had been only a short time, and now she was in trouble.

Wang Jinwu wasn't aware of the relationship between Xu Chunliang and Zhao Xiaohui, but as an observer, he thought they definitely weren't lovers. Yet, seeing Xu Chunliang's reaction tonight, he grew unsure.

Wang Jinwu quickly decided to accompany Xu Chunliang to Dongzhou to deal with this matter. He observed as Xu Chunliang's anger visibly escalated. Understanding male rage, Wang Jinwu had once beaten Shu Yuanhang in anger.

Xu Chunliang had quite the temper, and even if Wang Jinwu couldn't help significantly, he could at least remind him to manage his temper.

When they arrived at Changxing Hospital, it was already 3 a.m. Zhao Xiaohui was still in surgery. Her family was out of town and wouldn't arrive until the next morning.

Generally, a surgical consent form requires the patient's signature. If the patient is unable or unsuitable to sign, it should be signed by a close relative like a spouse, parent, or child.

In emergencies, if the patient's life is at risk and surgery is urgent but relatives can't be contacted, consent must be given by the health institution's head or a designated representative.

Zhao Xiaohui's surgery commenced following verbal authorization from her family.

That night, Changxing Hospital's administrative duty officer was Yu Xiangdong. In Xu Chunliang's absence, he had Yu Xiangdong contact leading experts from several departments at Changxing for consultation.
