Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The weather in June had changed.

The cloudless sky was instantly filled with thunderstorm clouds!

Lu Ming was driving and humming out of tune, accompanied by the sound of thunder.

In the morning, he had received a call from overseas, saying that they wanted to meet him at This Place Hospital and introduce him to the hospital staff.

As he happened to be quite free, he drove to the hospital.

The sound of traffic seemed to have stopped abruptly.

Lu Ming stared intently at the scene not far away!

An eye-catching purple sports car was speeding along as an old man with a crutch was walking on the pedestrian crossing.

It was clearly a red light, but the car did not slow down at all and crashed right into the old man!

The old man was sent flying!

The sports car stopped for a few seconds. The old man seemed to be still alive.

The driver in the car immediately reversed his car, as if he was determined to kill him!

Lu Ming got out of his car hurriedly. “What are you doing! Are you killing people on the streets?!”

When the driver of the purple car saw that there was a witness, he sped away, afraid that someone would recognize his face.

Lu Ming could not catch up with him even if he wanted to. He could only help the seriously injured old man up. He said loudly, “Are you alright?!”

But the noise of the heavy rain drowned out his voice.

The old man opened his mouth, but could not utter anything.

Perhaps Lu Ming did not hear it.

He looked around. There were no passers-by in this weather.

Hence, he could only carry the old man into his car by himself.

He immediately started the engine and darted off!

The old man slowly opened his eyes. “Where… are you taking me…?”

Lu Ming glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and said, “I’m taking you to the hospital now. Bear with it for now and don’t fall asleep.”

“Thank you… young man…”

The old man held his stomach and said with much difficulty.

Blood was flowing out quickly from between his fingers onto the entire front passenger seat.

Lu Ming stopped the car and quickly took the first aid box from the backseat.

Song Xueran had left it in his car just in case.

He had thought that he would not have use for such things, but who knew that he would be slapped in the face so soon?

He did not have any medical skills, so he learned emergency bandaging from Zhou Lu.

As long as he drove fast enough, the old man should be able to make it to the hospital!

At the thought of this, he drove faster, but his hands were still trembling.

It was his first time seeing someone injured, so he was still a little unfamiliar with what to do. He was afraid that he might accidentally worsen the other party’s injuries.

As he was almost done with bandaging the wound, he realized that it was too loose to stop the bleeding.

The old man patted him lightly on the shoulder. “It’s alright… I’m in so much pain that I can’t feel anything… Don’t worry and do what you need to do…”

Lu Ming tightened his grip on the bandage.

The rain outside was getting heavier, and it did not seem like it was going to stop anytime soon.

“Rumble!”

There was no time to think too much. He said, “Please bear with it.”

He dropped the bloodstained bandage and replaced it with a new one. This time, he used a little more strength than before.

However, the old man did not make a sound throughout the whole process. After seeing that Lu Ming had tied the bandage, he said, “Well done…”

Lu Ming heaved a sigh of relief and started the car again.

After a while, they arrived at This Place Hospital.

Lu Ming carried the old man to the entrance. Although the security guard was surprised at their sorry state, he did not forget to ask, “Do you have an appointment?”

Lu Ming took out an identity card from his pocket. “I am Lu Ming.”

The security guard had received information about the new boss’s name early on. When he heard this, he was shocked at first. Then, after repeatedly verifying that the identity card was real, he respectfully said, “Please enter.”

“Can you tell me where the filming location is?”

Lu Ming put away his identity card. After taking a few steps, he returned to the entrance and asked.

The security guard answered, “If you’re looking for the radiology department, go to the fourth floor of the building on the left.”

“Alright!”

The security guard was about to ask if he should get someone to carry the old man when the person disappeared.

All drenched, Lu Ming entered the elevator.

Once he reached the fourth floor, he walked out.

The nurses on duty were astonished.

His black hair was plastered to his head and his clothes were stained with mud. He looked like he had rolled on the streets several times.

They could not help but wonder if this person was an honored guest who had an appointment with the hospital.

To them, he did not look like a rich person from any angle.

They wondered how he could have entered without an appointment.

A nurse walked up and asked carefully, “May I know what this gentleman is here for?”

“Filming. Where should we go for filming?”

Lu Ming asked.

“Filming?”

The nurse instinctively thought that they were filming a television drama.

But she did not see any cameras.

Lu Ming was anxious like a cat on a hot tin roof. “This person was hit by a car and needs to be filmed!”

The nurse saw the light and said, “Oh, oh, this! Turn right and go straight. That’s the radiology department.”

“Okay.”

Lu Ming followed the direction of the nurse and found the location. He grabbed the middle-aged doctor who had just walked out and said, “Help me take a scan of this old man!”

Chief Physician Zuo took a few steps back in disdain. After he sized them up, he said, “How did you get here? It’s impossible for someone like you, who is covered in cheap clothes, to get an appointment!”

“Can you save him first?”

Lu Ming frowned and said.

Doctor Zuo glanced at the old man and said scornfully, “Save him? Do you know who the people I save are? They’re rich people from all over the country! You guys aren’t scavengers, are you?

Even if I were to save him, neither of you would be able to pay the medical bill. You’ve brought with you a whiff of poverty! ”

Seeing that he would not budge, Lu Ming said, “A human life is at stake!”

“A human life is at stake?”

Chief Physician Zuo laughed mockingly. “Let me tell you, the lives of lowly people like you are worthless! Only the lives of rich people are worth saving! I don’t think the old thing will live much longer! Why don’t you find a random spot in the wilderness and bury him!”

“You call yourself a doctor?!”

Lu Ming shouted angrily.

Chief Physician Zuo adjusted his glasses and said coldly, “Yeah! If I’m not a doctor, are you? What a joke!”

“What kind of doctor are you? Aren’t doctors supposed to save lives? What are you doing now? Do you want to watch him die?”

Lu Ming questioned forcefully.

Chief Physician Zuo clicked his tongue in displeasure. “So what if he dies? At worst, you can sue me and I will pay some compensation. Now get out of here! This Place Hospital is not something that those people outside can compare to! And it’s not a place where anyone can come and go as they please!”

Lu Ming held the old man tightly and said, “Have you memorized the Hippocratic Oath?!”
