Chapter 394 - 394 Forgive Me

394 Forgive Me

“It never hurts to try.”

Kong Xunqi wasn’t surprised to hear their discussions and complaints. He just turned around and looked at Sun Yunzhong, who was sitting at the head of the table with a dark expression. “Sun Xing, we don’t have much time left. If we delay any longer, the situation will probably get worse.”

“Doctor Luo used to be a military doctor in the army. Because of some incidents, he was fired and sent to the general room in the army to do manual labor! How can a person like him have the ability to cure voodoo?”

Sun Ruxing, who was standing beside Sun Yunzhong, suddenly mentioned Doctor Luo’s past. This was much more convincing than baseless guesses and complaints.

“As far as I know, the person in charge isn’t Dr. Luo.” Compared to the others, Kong Xunqi had obviously done some research on the medical center.

Therefore, when he talked about these things now, he was much more knowledgeable than the others.

He was also more convincing.

“Are you talking about the general’s wife?” Before Kong Xunqi could finish speaking, a disdainful voice sounded. “She’s just a woman. What can she possibly do?”

“Since this won’t do, you guys can stay here and continue to think about it! I still have some things to do in my shop, so I have to go first.”

Kong Xunqi had only come to make a suggestion and didn’t want to get involved in the trouble. Therefore, after discovering that no one was willing to listen to his suggestions, he couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath. He stood up and planned to leave.

However, just as he had this thought, he was stopped by Sun Yunzhong.

“Mr. Kong, you can’t leave yet.” Sun Yunzhong couldn’t care less about his dignity anymore. He grabbed Kong Xunqi’s arm and pulled him back to his seat. “I won’t hide it from everyone. This is a critical moment for the medical association in the northern region.

We won’t be able to earn money together like in the past!

I’ve actually been thinking about this for the past two days. It’s just that after our medical association stopped supplying herbs to the military, I felt that something was wrong.

Previously, General Gao had the final say and we just had to send gifts to the general every year. Then, we could enjoy peace for the next year.

But how long had it been since General Gao had appeared outside?

Now, he no longer has the final say in the northern region!

Originally, I thought that he was just an outsider who would leave after a few days, but then General Wei Bei also came.

Later on, the medical center became responsible for supplying the military with herbs.

I’ve been feeling uneasy. Since things have come to this point, I think the higher-ups want to use this opportunity to make a move on our medical association!

Brother Kong, we’ve known each other all our lives and fought for our lives!

We can’t continue fighting like this anymore. We have to work together to get over the current crisis first. Otherwise, our lives will probably get worse day by day.”

“Since you’ve already said so, let me say something too!” Kong Xunqi stared at Sun Yunzhong for a long time before sighing and saying in a low voice, “We’ve been fighting for most of our lives, but look at what we used to fight about in the past and what we’re fighting about now!

In the past, we fought so hard for treatment prescriptions for the sake of treating illnesses and saving people!

But why are we arguing now? How much we can sell medicine for? How much profit it can bring to our medical center?!

Think about it. How long has it been since the last time we discussed medicine?

Do you know how much the price of medicine in the northern region has increased in less than five years?

Actually, from that moment on, I had already thought that if our medical association continued like this, this day would come sooner or later! We’re doctors, not businessmen.

When I say this, it feels like I’m shooting myself in the foot, but let’s forget it!

“We’ve earned enough money over the years. It’s time to stop!”

“Do you mean that our medical association will be disbanded from now on?” Sun Yunzhong didn’t expect Kong Xunqi, who had never spoken to him nicely, to persuade him to quit now…

Was he crazy?

“Even if you want to, you have to have the ability to keep it!” Kong Xunqi sighed. Seeing how stubborn he was, he didn’t want to persuade him anymore.

It was useless!

“Money is a good thing, but no matter how good money is, we have to be alive to have the chance to spend it! With our current situation, if we continue down this path, we’ll really screw ourselves over!”

Kong Xunqi took a deep look at Sun Yunzhong. In the end, amidst the commotion, he turned around and quickly left the hall with his people.

However, when Kong Xunqi got into the carriage and the driver asked where they were going, he first said that he was going home. However, after the carriage drove a few steps, he changed his mind and suggested going to Rejuvenation Hall.

When Kong Xunqi came over, Doctor Luo was instructing the medical assistant. When he heard that Kong Xunqi came over, he didn’t panic and continued to instruct the assistant. After he washed his hands in a copper basin at the side, he went to the hall to meet Kong Xunqi, who had been there for a while.

“Doctor Luo.” When Kong Xunqi saw Doctor Luo, he cupped his hands and bowed to him politely. Then, they went to the private room on the second floor.

“Let’s not beat around the bush. I’m here today regarding the patient you sent over previously.” Kong Xunqi didn’t waste time exchanging pleasantries and went straight to the point.

“I just want to ask if you really have no clue about this voodoo, and that’s why you sent him to another medical center.”

“Mr. Kong, if I had a way to wake him up, why would I go out and ask you guys for help?” Doctor Luo smiled as he replied firmly, “I had no choice. If you guys had let us join the medical association back then, I wouldn’t have caused such a big commotion this time. I’ve caused trouble for you guys, so please forgive me.”
