Chapter 76 Cultivating the Aura of a Strongman

  When Han Ankang arrived in South Korea, he hid in this hospital directly under the jurisdiction of the South Korean Army Department to treat injuries and detoxify for Park's family head. Many people have great doubts about whether the spiritual leader of the Park family can recover safely after suddenly falling ill. Except for a few family heads who are familiar with the Park family, no one else has the opportunity to enter this military hospital, and others can only watch from outside.

  As the top military and political family in South Korea, every move of the Park family is linked to changes in the South Korean military and politics. If not for now, there has been no unfavorable news so far, many people would think that with Park Chung-hee's downfall, the Park family's status in South Korea will also shrink significantly. After all, Park Chung-hee was the spiritual leader of the Park family and the core figure of the Park military-political forces.

  With this key figure down, Park Sang-chung, who is currently a general in the military, may or may not be able to hold up the banner of the Park faction. It's an unknown quantity for now. So before things become clear, political forces that have clashed with the Park family in the past seem to be lying low as well, waiting for the best moment to seize the military and political power held by the Park faction in South Korea.

  Of course, South Korea's military and political turmoil didn't bother Han Ankang, who spent the past few days immersed in detoxifying Park Jeong-tae. He felt that this was the life he liked. During the day, he helped Mr. Park clean up his toxins, and at night, he immersed himself in meditation to recover his energy. The shadow of the previous cleansing on Cheong Island also seemed to have dissipated a lot.

  Choi Jin-sang, who has also been living here recently, sees Han Ahn-gang being more silent than before, and he is somehow connected to Zhao Hu. He also knows that Han Ahn-gang uses medicine to numb himself so as not to think about the things that bother him. But if this knot in his heart is not untied one day, Han Ahn-gang will sooner or later fall into the pain of being unable to extricate himself from it.

  Fortunately, Choi Jin-san understood that the top priority was to cure Park Jeong-tae. As a financial family of the Park faction, the development of the Choi family in military and political affairs can be said to have just begun. Without the care of the Park family, it would also be a huge blow to the Choi family. At Park Jeong-tae's level, his life and death could be said to affect the overall situation.

  Although the Choi family is one of the four major families in South Korea, the Choi family has more influence in the economic field. In terms of political influence in South Korea, the Choi family is still not as powerful as the Park family. After all, Park Chung-hee's brother was once the first president of South Korea to rise to power through a military coup.

  Although mistakes were made in the end, Park's influence in South Korea's military and political circles is not something that any family can compare with. Therefore, Park Chung-hee's health or illness is also closely related to these friendly families who want to increase their influence in South Korea's military and political circles, and are key figures in completing the family's layout.

  Until Han Ankang announced that Park Jung-tae's first phase of treatment was over, and the next step would be to remove the toxins from his body through medication. If they can clear out the remaining toxins in Park Jung-tae's body, then this poisoning crisis will have passed safely. Suddenly, these aristocratic families who were friendly with the Park family felt that their respect for Han Ankang was not in vain.

  It seems that spending some cost and sincerity, getting to know such a young and knowledgeable doctor, has really given them an amulet. To think that if it weren't for Han Ankang rushing over in time, Park Jung-tae's near-death poisoning incident wouldn't have been saved so quickly. Such kindness, how can it be repaid with the little they paid?

  Knowing that Han Ankang didn't need to use his true energy to treat Choi Jin-san, he decided to have a good and in-depth conversation with him. He really didn't want to see this Han Ankang, whom he truly regarded as a nephew, being trapped in such a simple confusion in his eyes yet unable to extricate himself.

  Maybe in other people's eyes, it has been so long since the last thing happened. Han Ankang is also an adult after all, how can he still not understand?

  That's just a simple case of abuse of power and forced confession. Now the people who hurt Han Ankang are being tried, some even executed by firing squad. Because of this case of extracting confessions through torture, the Qingdao government and even the entire Jiaodong officialdom were frightened for a long time. What else can't he understand?

  Only those who understand Han Ankang's character can see that this young man, with a heart as clear as water and pure, really doesn't understand the cruelty and darkness of society. But now, something that wouldn't happen in Han Ankang's eyes has happened.

  That means the idea of 'People's Police for the People' in Han Ankang's mind was wrong. The concept that light triumphs over darkness is also wrong, and the notion of being kind to others and abiding by the law is naturally also wrong. This almost overturns Han Ankang's confused understanding of society from growing up until now, how can it be easily understood?

  When Choi Jin-san came over, Han Ahn-kang was reading a book in the room and didn't understand why Choi Jin-san had come to see him at this time. He was still very polite and asked the bodyguard standing at the door to bring a pot of tea for the two of them, treating the head of the Choi family who cared about him the most.

  At first, Choi Jin-san didn't get straight to the point either, and asked Han Ahn-kang about Park Jung-tae's treatment success rate. In response, Han Ahn-kang said that as long as he followed his method, there would be no problem recovering to the state before getting sick.

  After chatting about these official matters, Cui Zhen Shan took a sip of tea and smiled, asking: "Little Han, have you told that little girlfriend of yours that you're coming to South Korea?"

  Han Ankang was taken aback and said: "Cui Lao, I don't know who you're talking about. You should know that I don't have a girlfriend right now!"

  Choi Jin-san shook his head and said, "Little Han, you're not young anymore, it's time for you to find a girlfriend. I must say that your current calm and honest personality is quite likable among us old folks. However, there's one flaw in you that makes me a bit worried. Do you want to hear what it is?"

  What's wrong with me?

  Han An Kang said very honestly: "Please instruct me, Old Cui."

  Chui Zhen Shan said: "The shortcomings on you are that you're too mature for your age, but your mindset is exceptionally pure and simple. You lack the youthful vigor that people of your age should have. I understand that this might be due to your personality and the environment you grew up in, plus the fact that as a doctor, you've always been considerate of your patients' feelings, which has shaped your current personality."

  "Do you know that this kind of personality also has its flaws? Perhaps in your eyes, when you help others to solve their troubles, they give you respect and gratitude. It makes you feel that there are more good people than bad people in the world. But do you understand why we, these high-ranking elderly people in your eyes, treat you so well?"

  When Han Ankang first heard someone point out the shortcomings on his body, he naturally listened very seriously. As for what Choi Jin-san said afterwards, he also wanted to know why.

  Looking at Han Ankang, who shook his head with a look of longing, Cui Zhen Shan said very calmly and sincerely: "That's because your value to us is far greater than our kindness to you. Maybe these words are hard for you to accept and understand, but I still want to tell you one thing. This world is very realistic, there has never been unprovoked hatred, and naturally, there has never been unprovoked love."

  Taking the matter of you saving me, perhaps in your eyes, it was just lending a hand to save a seriously ill patient. But what you got in return is my such and such care for you. However, do you understand that what you saved wasn't just me alone? It's my entire Cui family. To put it more severely, it's a group of people who survive with the Cui family.

  If I hadn't escaped that disaster last time, the Cui family would have been suppressed and annexed by all sides. The law of the jungle is a iron rule in the animal kingdom, applying this rule to human society means that people with high status and power bullying those without rights or influence is also a very normal thing. That's just the weak being bullied forever by the strong!

  I know you find it hard to accept this truth, thinking that being kind to others is the most important principle in practicing medicine. But you've forgotten one thing - this is a very realistic and cruel world, if you can't adapt to these cruel rules, you'll eventually be eliminated by them. And you have the capital to become a strong person, but you lack the broad-mindedness that a strong person should possess.

  With your current medical skills, I dare say that as long as you utter a word, countless wealthy and powerful families around the world will wave their checks at you to beg you to extend their lives. In your view, doctors practicing medicine to save the world is a matter of course, but in their view, as long as they can survive, they can guarantee the continuation of their family's power and wealth.

  When that day you suddenly discover, the patient you saved with a kind heart has actually harmed countless kind-hearted ordinary people. Do you think he is a good person or a bad person? Should he be saved or not? Take us old men who seem amiable and affable to you, how did we gain our current power and status if not by stepping on others' corpses?

  A true strong person is not afraid of others' provocation and oppression, can do whatever he wants at will. No need to care about how others evaluate and look at themselves, as long as the strong person thinks it's right, those things are right. If he feels that this thing doesn't look good in his eyes, then turn it around according to his own ideas until it looks good in his eyes.

  Take the things we sent you last time, which are extremely precious in your eyes, but to us, they are just a drop in the bucket. You accepted our kindness, but then put them on a high shelf, which makes us think that either the gifts we gave you didn't meet your expectations or you don't want to owe us a favor.

  It's precisely this seemingly unreasonable idea that led to the last time we had your little girlfriend deliver gifts for us. You should know, in this world, there are very few people worth our families sending gifts together. So why did we send once and feel uneasy about it, so we sent again?

  "The fundamental reason is that you are a strong person in our hearts, a strong person who can control our lives and deaths. Take this time, for example, when you saved Park Dae-gun, the old man's gifts to you may seem precious to you. But with this one move, you pulled him back from the brink of life and death, and that value cannot be measured by money. Have you thought about these things?"

  Be clear and sincere when speaking to Han Ankang, only then will you gain his trust. Therefore, Chui Zhen Shan did not hide anything either, directly pointing out the problems he saw, letting Han Ankang slowly understand that he was no longer just a small village doctor from the countryside, but a divine doctor who could pull people back from the gates of hell, thereby cultivating Han Ankang's strong and heroic demeanor!
