Qiao Ling's words startled everyone present.
Especially Qiao Kaicheng.
In Old Master Qiao's heart, Qiao Ling was a good girl who only cared about studying medicine and was indifferent to the outside world; moreover, Qiao Ling always obeyed Qiao Kaicheng.
Basically, if Qiao Kaicheng said to go east, Qiao Ling would never say to go west.
It was completely unexpected that such an obedient girl would "betray" the old master today!
Qiao Kaicheng narrowed his eyes and stared intently at his precious granddaughter.
He was a shrewd man.
He saw through Qiao Ling's thoughts at a glance.
From Qiao Ling's worried face and affectionate eyes, Qiao Kaicheng knew that his granddaughter had fallen in love and had already secretly promised her heart to Lu Ming.
Women, once smitten, lose their heads.
"Trouble," Qiao Kaicheng sighed.
Zhou Chonghu stared blankly at Qiao Ling and questioned, "Qiao Ling, what did you just say? What do you mean by 'I vouch for Lu Ming'?"
Qiao Ling chuckled, "Wasn't I clear enough? Lu Ming has never made a mistake. You are jealous of his medical skills and his reputation. You are the one in the wrong. Why should I cut ties with Lu Ming and let you bully him?"
Her words were passionate and impassioned.
Lu Ming was moved by her speech.
He hadn't expected such a seemingly delicate girl like Qiao Ling to be so fierce.
Zhou Chonghu's expression tensed.
Qiao Ling's words were too harsh, and Zhou Chonghu could not tolerate them.
Zhou Chonghu glanced at Qiao Kaicheng and said, "Old Master Qiao, your granddaughter is truly a troublemaker for you. This had nothing to do with her, but she's digging her own grave! Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite! If I don't teach her a lesson today, people won't know how formidable I, Zhou Chonghu, am!"
Qiao Kaicheng sighed deeply.
It seemed the situation was irretrievable.
Qiao Kaicheng, after all, had no real power. If Zhou Chonghu decided to tear down the facade and confront him directly, Qiao Kaicheng would be helpless.
It was Qiao Ling's fault for falling for someone she shouldn't have.
Everyone believed that Ren Zhi Pharmacy was finished and that Qiao Ling would pay for her words.
However.
Lu Ming shook his head with a bitter smile.
He said quietly, "Zhou Chonghu, I gave you a chance just now, and you didn't cherish it. So don't blame me for being ruthless and bringing you down."
After speaking, Lu Ming dialed his phone.
Zhou Chonghu burst into laughter, "Give me a chance? Do I need you to give me one? Lu Ming, I will send you to jail today!"
Qiao Kaicheng also shook his head.
He said speechlessly, "Lu Ming, China's divine doctor? Heh! Still too young. Perhaps he has amazing talent in medicine, but his emotional intelligence is extremely low. My poor, ill-fated granddaughter will be dragged down by such a character."
Qiao Kaicheng, who had spent his life trying to smooth things over, never imagined that his granddaughter's personality would be so different from his own.
For a man, Qiao Ling would abandon a century-old family business.
It seemed Qiao Ling was not a reliable successor.
Qiao Kaicheng was already considering whether he could disown Qiao Ling to protect the century-old foundation.
Soon, Lu Ming's call connected.
He only said one sentence: "The Vice President of Jinling Pharmaceutical Association, Zhou Chonghu, has serious errors. Investigate immediately."
After hanging up.
Everyone stared at Lu Ming blankly.
"Is that it?" Zhou Chonghu laughed heartily, "Lu Ming, who did you call? Don't tell me you called the police? Let me tell you, this is not within their jurisdiction."
Lu Ming ignored him, glanced at his watch, and said calmly, "You have ten minutes. Enjoy your last ten minutes as a deputy section chief."
Ten minutes?
What did that mean?
Could he get rid of Zhou Chonghu in ten minutes?
No one took Lu Ming's words seriously. Although he was China's divine doctor and his medical skills were superb, he had no real power. How could he contend with Zhou Chonghu, who held considerable authority?
Alas...
The light of righteousness was about to be suppressed by evil.
Qiao Ling walked to Lu Ming's side, gently held his hand, and said earnestly, "Don't worry, no matter what unfair treatment you face, I will always be with you! I refuse to believe that the pharmaceutical industry can be so monopolized by such a parasite!"
Lu Ming smiled slightly, reached out, and brushed a strand of hair from Qiao Ling's temple, saying, "I will be fine, you will be fine, and Ren Zhi Pharmacy will be fine. The one who will not be fine is Zhou Chonghu."
Everyone chuckled.
Even now, Lu Ming was still spouting nonsense.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Just as Zhou Chonghu was about to mock Lu Ming, an unexpected event occurred. An Audi A8 stopped by the roadside.
The car door opened, and a middle-aged man got out.
Seeing this man, everyone present was stunned.
Qiao Ling, Zhou Chonghu, and Zhou Yahu were all frozen in place. Even the experienced Old Man Qiao, Qiao Kaicheng, couldn't help but tremble upon seeing this man.
Awe.
In everyone's eyes, there was nothing but profound awe!
This man was the Chinese Five-Star General—the Medical Immortal!
At the same time, he was also the President of the National Pharmaceutical Association of China!
The combination of Five-Star General and President was enough to shock everyone present.
To many, the Medical Immortal was a legendary figure! Even Qiao Kaicheng had only met the Medical Immortal once in his life.
Being able to see the Medical Immortal was something many people would brag about for a lifetime.
The Medical Immortal walked up to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming smiled slightly, pointed at Zhou Chonghu, and said, "Him, Zhou Chonghu."
The Medical Immortal nodded and slowly walked towards Zhou Chonghu.
Zhou Chonghu was so scared he peed himself on the spot.
He could never have imagined that Lu Ming's phone call was to the Medical Immortal! Even if Zhou Chonghu guessed a thousand times, he would never have guessed this outcome.
"How is this possible?"
"Lu Ming, a mere security guard with a ruined reputation, how could he possibly know such a big shot like the Medical Immortal?"
"Five-Star General, President, Medical Immortal."
Zhou Chonghu's face was pale, as if he had lost a lot of blood.
As the Medical Immortal approached him, Zhou Chonghu trembled uncontrollably, unable to stand steadily, and fell to the ground with a thud.
Before the Medical Immortal could speak, Zhou Chonghu voluntarily confessed, "Your Excellency Medical Immortal, I... I was wrong!"
Zhou Chonghu, who had been arrogant and overbearing before, now voluntarily admitted his mistakes.
Heh, as expected, a cowardly bully who feared the powerful and preyed on the weak.
The Medical Immortal took out a document and said, "Zhou Chonghu, you have abused your power, engaged in favoritism, and framed others. All your crimes have been confirmed. Do you plead guilty?"
In front of a Five-Star General, how could one dare to lie?
Zhou Chonghu lowered his head, "I plead guilty."
"Good!" the Medical Immortal declared loudly, "Zhou Chonghu, your sins are egregious and beyond enumeration. This degenerate individual is truly unworthy of serving as the Vice President of the Jinling Pharmaceutical Association! Now, Zhou Chonghu is stripped of all his authority and handed over to the public security organs to be punished for his abuse of power!"
With that, police cars arrived.
Several police officers alighted, handcuffed Zhou Chonghu, and arrested him on the spot!
