Chapter 23: Reporting Private Grievances

  Han Ankang, who had dismissed the young man as a show-off, would not have thought that three days later, the same young man who had left in anger would return to his own courtyard with several staff members wearing sanitation inspection uniforms.

  Looking at the unfriendly-looking officials from the drug regulatory bureau wearing uniforms, some worried villagers quickly ran to inform Han Ankang inside. Hearing that there were indeed people from the health bureau coming to inspect his small clinic, he politely walked out of the room to greet them at the door.

  Until he recognized the leader as a dog-like guy, who was exactly the health bureau official who had put down harsh words that day. As for what his name was, Han Ankang really couldn't remember. Realizing this was a group of troublemakers, Han Ankang didn't bother with them and turned around to walk back into the ward to continue treating the villagers.

  Han Ankang came out to greet him, but instead of greeting him, he turned around and left. Zhao Xiangdong thought that with his arrival, the village doctor would naturally admit defeat. However, Han Ankang was furious and shouted at the villagers waiting in the courtyard: "You don't need to wait here anymore. I am from the Municipal Health Bureau, and we have received reports from the masses. Han Ankang is suspected of selling counterfeit and inferior drugs, and we are here today specifically to investigate this matter."

  "If verified, his medical license will be revoked. So, you'd better go back and forth from there, don't delay the patient's condition, and also affect our normal law enforcement and case handling."

  Having had a previous experience of almost being beaten by patients, Zhao Xiangdong, who came out wearing his work uniform today, has undoubtedly increased his courage. However, he is worried that the villagers might stop him from venting his anger and cause some trouble, which would be disadvantageous to him as well. To avoid this, Zhao Xiangdong put on an official tone and prepared to persuade the patients to leave before taking action.

  When the villagers heard that the leading cadre said Han Ankang was suspected of selling fake medicine, the villagers who came to treat their illnesses for the first time unconsciously withdrew from the yard. For them, because they have been deceived by quacks at home due to illness, when they learned that the city's cadres came to investigate, this "divine doctor" might be someone else's rumor, cheating these patients who were eager to cure their relatives.

  Apart from the villagers of Qing Shi Town, everyone knows that Han Ankang's medical ethics and skills are praiseworthy. As for selling counterfeit and inferior medicines, it is simply unbelievable to these villagers. Anyone who has come here to see a doctor knows that he rarely prescribes expensive medicine, and even when he does, most of the time they are homemade Chinese herbal medicines picked from the mountains himself, and often doesn't charge much money either. This talk of inferior medicines is just impossible.

  Although they knew these people were not easy to mess with, there were still many patients who refused to leave. Since it was really impossible to persuade these people to leave, Zhao Xiangdong also didn't dare to drive them away directly. He walked into the medical office and put a notice from the Health Bureau stamped with an official seal in front of Han Ankang's calm face.

  Han Ankang didn't even bother to glance at the notice, and Zhao Xiangdong's anger towards Han Ankang intensified. He immediately instructed his accompanying staff to rummage through the medical room.

  It turned out that these staff members found a number of expired common medicines in an old wooden box. Zhao Xiangdong, who had obtained this evidence, suddenly became serious and said: "Han Ankang, how could you put these expired medicines here? Don't you know that selling such medicines to patients will cause problems? How can your conscience be so bad for the sake of making money? Can you take responsibility if something goes wrong?"

  Facing the serious and aggressive Zhao Xiangdong, Han Ankang knew that this guy was intentionally picking a fight for revenge. He calmly said: "If your eyes aren't blind, you should be able to see that in my box, apart from these expired medicines, there are also many discarded and useless medicines and trash. This is an box specifically used to store discarded medicines, it's normal to find expired medicines."

  "If you want to settle personal scores, then issue a notice of disciplinary action. If you want to revoke the doctor's license, just do it. Anyway, I was planning to close down for a while recently. Doing good deeds but ending up being wronged, this is really the first time I've heard of such a thing. Don't show off your identity in front of me, what are you doing here today? You know and I know, don't pretend to be so righteous, it makes me sick!"

  For the first time, Zhao Xiangdong saw the law enforcement officers of these health systems, and he was so arrogant and calm in front of Dr. Han Ankang that his face was full of blue veins. If it weren't for the onlookers standing beside him, he really couldn't help but teach Han Ankang a lesson.

  Han Ankang seems to be a bit out of touch with reality, Zhao Xiangdong doesn't believe that without a medical license, Han Ankang still dares to treat patients. If he really does, then it's just the right opportunity to send him to prison on charges of illegal practice.

  He quickly represented the Health Bureau to issue a punishment decision to Han Ankang, and on the spot, he revoked the medical license of Han Ankang hanging in the clinic. And all the expired medicines found here were sealed and taken away as evidence. The procedure seemed very regular, but in Han Ankang's view, it was nothing more than intentionally finding fault with him.

  Just in time for the Spring Festival, Han Ankang also plans to take a break and focus on his cultivation for a while. After the beginning of next year, following the tradition of the Dao Medical School, he will travel to various places to practice medicine. Firstly, to verify his own medical skills, and secondly, to increase his experience in treating diseases. As for the disciples of the Dao Medical School traveling, Han Ankang thinks it's unnecessary to promote the reputation of the school like before.

  After all, whether there are still Taoist doctors in the world today is an unknown number. He doesn't want to suddenly wear the title of a lost Taoist doctor for many years, but just wants to quietly treat people and deepen his experience in traditional Chinese medicine.

  When the punishment notice issued by the Health Bureau was served, Han Ankang ignored Zhao Xiangdong's clownish behavior and said in a very gentle tone: "Fellow villagers, I'm really sorry to have you travel so far. However, my medical license has been revoked, and according to national regulations, I am no longer allowed to treat your illnesses. Otherwise, the government will arrest me and put me in jail!

  "Don't worry, everyone. Once the matter is investigated and I get a fair treatment from above, I'll still be here to treat illnesses for you all. Nothing's wrong, fellow villagers, just disperse! They're officials from the city, we common folks can't afford to offend them! Disperse!"

  It was clear that there were many villagers in the crowd, and they were afraid of conflict with the health bureau personnel. Han Ankang quickly began to persuade them with a smile. In the end, he even sarcastically said a few words to the staff who came to understand the situation. As for Zhao Xiangdong, he felt that Han Ankang was really stubborn and unrepentant, and had actually been stripped of his medical license but still managed to smile.

  He had made up his mind that this time, Han Ankang would not take the initiative to admit his mistake. The revoked medical license would be suspended for as long as he was in office. With this thought in mind, Zhao Xiangdong left Hui Long Village again with a gloomy face amidst the villagers' curses.

  It was a coincidence that when Zhao Xiangdong revoked Han Ankang's medical license, Provincial Governor Zhao Chengcheng was entertaining a delegation of South Korean entrepreneurs who came to Hua Xia for investment inspections at the Welcome Hotel in Jizhou City. As the inland province closest to South Korea, there were not many Korean-funded enterprises investing and setting up factories in Jizhou Province.

  After much effort, relying on his own influence, the enterprise delegation that only focuses on investment and development in coastal cities of China was finally invited to visit Jilin Province. Governor Zhao Chengcheng, who facilitated this trip, naturally had to personally host a banquet, and if several investment agreements could be reached through this, it would also play a very important role in promoting Jilin Province's foreign investment work.

  After the banquet, a South Korean entrepreneur who had a close personal relationship with him in this delegation also met privately with Zhao Chengcheng, now a high-ranking official.

  As a native of Jilin Province, Zhao Cheng also grew up speaking Korean due to his environment. He even went to South Korea for two years after graduating from university. It was in a South Korean university that he met the classmate who is now an investment consultant for a major South Korean company.

  Two old classmates who had been in constant contact over the years, after discussing official business, naturally also talked about some private matters. Originally, this South Korean entrepreneur classmate wanted to visit Zhao Cheng's father, but learned that the patriarch of the influential Zhao family in Jilin Province and even Northeast China was ill.

  Moreover, the illness was extremely severe, and even the famous doctors from the capital were at a loss for what to do. At this time, the Korean entrepreneur suddenly said: "I actually know of a famous doctor, and it's very likely that he is from your province. Some time ago, the four masters of my country, Choi, Kim, Lee, and Park, went to the airport together to see him off.

  It is said that the four people who were sent, was the divine doctor who cured Choi Jin-san, the head of the Choi family who was on the verge of life and death. As for the other three heads of the families, they also received the kindness of this divine doctor, who treated some chronic illnesses that had been plaguing them for years. At that time, because of this news, there was a stir in South Korea about this divine doctor!

  Until the elderly of these four major families spoke out, it was not allowed to privately inquire about the matter of that Huaxia divine doctor, and the domestic rumors only slightly subsided. Although I don't know much about the situation, I only know that the divine doctor is not very old, but his medical skills are extremely superb. Some stubborn diseases that cannot be cured in hospitals today, he can cure with just a touch of his hand.

  Moreover, I heard that this person is a famous Chinese medicine doctor at a young age. Specifically, what his surname is, I'm not quite sure. However, it's said that he also speaks Korean and the flight he took last time landed at an airport in your province. Therefore, based on my inference, it's very likely that he's a local from your Jilin Province. If we can find this divine doctor, perhaps Zhao Lao's illness might take a turn for the better."

  As the head of a province, Zhao Cheng was well aware that the heads of the four major families who could have the highest status in South Korea would personally see him off. No matter how old this doctor is, he must be extraordinary in medical skills. There is a saying that the richer and more powerful people are, the more afraid they are of death, and it is very likely that these wealthy and powerful people will not hesitate to make friends with a doctor who has magical medical skills.

  After thanking the old classmate for the information, Zhao Cheng left the hotel and quickly found a phone number that he hadn't contacted in a long time. The owner of this phone number, if Han Ankang saw it, would definitely say that there are indeed such coincidences in this world. Who could it be?
