Chapter 3: Major incident: Assault, a horrifying sight as a knife pierces the heart!As the news of Lin Feng’s continued employment at City First Hospital spread among the interns, jealousy and desire filled the atmosphere. Known as the “handsome guy from the soy sauce university,” Lin Feng became the object of envy and discussion among his peers. The interns couldn’t help but wonder when they would have their chance to be retained and experience the advantages that came with it. Some even playfully considered getting cosmetic surgery to imitate Lin Feng’s success, generating both laughter and a hint of bitterness.

The province had more than ten medical universities and many hospitals, including 108 tertiary hospitals and numerous secondary ones. With the allocation of interns, City First Hospital had limited spots available for retention. Consequently, Lin Feng found himself with only ten classmates at the hospital, and they weren’t particularly close. The rest of the interns came from different schools, which further amplified the envy and jealousy surrounding Lin Feng due to his outstanding performance.

Nonetheless, Lin Feng remained committed to his daily check-ins and skills development. Each day brought a new increase in his proficiency and knowledge, thanks to the world-class surgical experiences he gained through the system. Additionally, he took the opportunity to observe surgeries in the emergency department’s operating room, carefully analyzing the lead surgeons’ techniques. With a discerning eye, he quickly identified flaws and errors in their operations, easily finding solutions and rectifying the issues within seconds.

Lin Feng’s dedication to self-improvement remained unwavering despite the envy and jealousy surrounding him. He continued to check in daily, witnessing his skills soar and his capabilities expand daily. As the second, third, and fourth months passed, Lin Feng’s skills grew stronger through his daily check-ins and the abundant rewards he received. While the initial shock of his retention at the hospital had faded, the presence of twelve other exceptional interns retained alongside him reduced his prominence. Some interns believed that Lin Feng’s retention was solely due to his good looks rather than his skills, leading to resentment. They couldn’t help but think that if they were as attractive as Lin Feng, they too would have been retained.

However, Lin Feng paid no attention to the gossip and continued to develop quietly, focusing on his growth. He diligently checked in day after day, accumulating more world-class surgical experience. The rewards kept pouring in, further enhancing his abilities. On his 98th-day check-in, he was rewarded with the “World-class Repair of Massive Intrathoracic Hemorrhage Experience,” followed by the “World-class Pericardial Incision and Drainage Experience” on his 99th-day check-in and the “World-class Hemostasis Experience” on his 100th-day check-in.

But the highlight of reaching 100 consecutive days of check-ins was the special reward—a passive ability called “Dexterous.” This ability increased Lin Feng’s manual talent by 100%. Delighted by this unexpected development, Lin Feng tested his newfound agility by moving his fingers. He could immediately feel the difference as his movements became more agile and precise. Previously challenging tasks now seemed much simpler to him, a testament to the growth he had achieved through his dedication and perseverance.

Amid the chaotic scene, Lin Feng’s instincts as a doctor kicked in. He understood the urgency of the situation and immediately rushed forward to intervene. With his newfound skill and calm demeanor, he approached the enraged man, attempting to diffuse the tense situation.

“Sir, please listen to me,” Lin Feng said calmly and authoritatively, trying to establish control. “I understand your pain and frustration, but resorting to violence won’t solve anything. Let’s find a way to address your concerns peacefully.”

Still filled with anger and grief, the man glared at Lin Feng but momentarily loosened his grip on Chief Zhou’s collar. The onlookers held their breath, anxiously awaiting the outcome of this confrontation.

Lin Feng continued, “We are here to save lives, and every doctor in this hospital works tirelessly to do their best. We understand that not every outcome is successful, but we learn from each experience to continuously improve our skills. Please put down the knife and let’s talk about what happened calmly.”

The man hesitated, conflicted between his anger and the logic presented by Lin Feng. Slowly, he lowered the knife, although his emotions remained evident on his face.

The doctors and nurses, seizing the opportunity, quickly stepped forward to provide support and help ease the situation. They surrounded the man and Chief Zhou, reassuring him and addressing his concerns.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng turned to the onlookers and urged them to give him some space and respect the privacy of the situation.

“Please, everyone, step back and allow us to handle this situation with care and professionalism. We are committed to resolving this matter and providing the necessary support to the patient’s family.”

Gradually, the commotion subsided as people complied with Lin Feng’s request. The emergency department staff continued to calm the situation and address the man’s grievances, hoping to find a resolution to comfort him.

At that moment, Lin Feng realized that remaining calm and composed in such tense situations was just as important as his surgical skills. He understood the significance of empathy and effective communication in diffusing conflicts and restoring trust. As the situation stabilized, Lin Feng knew that the journey to becoming an exceptional doctor was not just about technical expertise but also about building meaningful connections with patients and their families. It was about finding the right words and actions to provide solace and reassurance during distress.

They trod cautiously, refraining from sudden movements that could incite the patient’s aggression. The potential for a catastrophic incident loomed over them, amplifying their trepidation. Past experiences have taught them the volatile nature of interactions with patients’ families, whose emotions could drive them to unpredictable extremes.

But now, the situation escalated further as the patient brandished a knife. Lin Feng anxiously observed from the sidelines, his palms slick with sweat.

“Why hasn’t security arrived yet?” he muttered. In an instant, without warning, chaos erupted.

“Pay with my son’s life!” a middle-aged relative bellowed, his face contorted with fury. With a vicious motion, he thrust the knife into Chief Zhou Guorong’s chest, piercing him directly. Only the hilt remained visible, a stark testament to the brutality of the attack. Unrelenting, he struck again and again, three consecutive stabs targeting different areas of the left chest. In that harrowing moment, everything turned surreal for Lin Feng. It felt like lightning had struck him, leaving his mind blank and his senses numbed. A primal scream escaped his lips, and the emergency department descended into chaos, akin to an upturned pot of boiling water teeming with frantic ants.

“Murder!” “Blood!” “Murder!” The cry echoed through the chaos, fueling an atmosphere of complete mayhem. Patients and their families scrambled like headless flies, colliding with objects before fleeing in a frenzied panic. Seizing an opportunity amidst the commotion, the enraged middle-aged relative swiftly withdrew the knife and vanished from sight.
