Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 454 426 Making Things Difficult
Seeing He Qianqian's fingers twitch, Lin Tian's heart seemed to overturn rivers and seas.
"Qianqian, Qianqian, my big wife, my big wife..." Lin Tian called by He Qianqian's ear as he leaned over, but she only moved once and then lost consciousness again.
The excitement in his heart settled back down, and Lin Tian leaned in to kiss He Qianqian, caressing her face as he spoke.
"Qianqian, you can feel it, can't you? You heard what I just said, didn't you?"
"I know that deep down, you still love me and want to be with me; you just can't move right now, and can only watch me quietly."
"Qianqian, don't be anxious. Today I make a vow here that if I can't wake you in this life, I wish to be struck by thunder and perish, with heaven and earth condemning me, never to transcend after death!"
Lin Tian raised three fingers toward the sky, making the solemn oath.
Following that, a crystal-clear teardrop rolled down from the corner of He Qianqian's eye.
He Qianqian cried!
Lin Tian gently wiped away the tear from He Qianqian's eye and stayed with her until the evening. Throughout the afternoon, he talked to himself, now laughing, now angry. Talking alone didn't seem lonely at all; having He Qianqian by his side was quite comforting instead.
When it was time for dinner, a nurse brought over some porridge, and Lin Tian personally fed He Qianqian.
As the evening arrived, Lin Tian said, "Qianqian, I have to go, but when I come to see you next time, I will surely wake you up!"
Before leaving, he kissed He Qianqian once again and then turned to exit the room.
Seeing Lin Tian come out, Bu Mengting hurried over and asked, "How is Sister Qianqian?"
"She's alright," Lin Tian replied. "Let's go. You must be hungry after staying here all afternoon. Let's have dinner!"
"Shall we go to that Western restaurant again? It would be nice," Bu Mengting said, playfully sticking out her tongue like a little glutton, looking incredibly cute.
Lin Tian playfully flicked Bu Mengting's nose and said, "Okay, okay, whatever you say. You are the boss there now; eat whatever you want!"
"Who is the boss?" Bu Mengting pouted playfully, her face full of pride.
Just as Lin Tian was about to join Bu Mengting for dinner, he saw Chen Lihui running over in a flurry.
"Mr. Lin, wait a moment, wait a moment!" he called out excitedly.
Chen Lihui was a returnee from overseas and always struck Lin Tian as a very talented and stable person. But today, seeing Chen's behavior, he seemed like an impetuous youth, completely different from his usual composed self.
Could it be that he's taken the wrong medicine? Lin Tian couldn't help but entertain this strange thought.
Lin Tian asked Bu Mengting to go downstairs first and waited for Chen Lihui, who approached, took a test tube out of his pocket.
"I've developed it, I've developed it!"
Lin Tian was somewhat confounded and shook his head, asking, "Hold on, be clear, what have you developed?"
"The healing potion! The very potion you gave to me. I've identified several key components and created a replica with slightly less potency than yours. It's simply a medical miracle. I will stun the world with this."
Chen Lihui said it somewhat crazily.
Now Lin Tian understood. He remembered giving Chen Lihui a bottle of the healing potion a few days ago. Lin Tian hadn't paid much attention, but who would have thought that Chen Lihui would be so capable to develop a nearly identical potion in just a few days.
Keep in mind, the healing potion was a medication developed three thousand years later. Chen Lihui's knowledge had seemingly leapt over thirty centuries.
Unconsciously, Chen Lihui's image grew in Lin Tian's mind, and he greatly admired people with real skills and knowledge.
Lin Tian gave him a thumbs up and praised him with four words.
"Very strong, very awesome!"
Chen Lihui just smiled foolishly, not feigning modesty because he was indeed worthy of those words.
"Murderous maniac, quack doctor, beast, you killed my father, quack..."
Suddenly, cries and curses filled the hallway not too far away.
Immediately after, three family members of patients rushed over. Their target was none other than Chen Lihui.
Chen Lihui's face lost all semblance of smile the moment he saw what was happening and he immediately rushed over.
He explained, "Please, mourn with restraint. Your father had acute heart disease. By the time he was brought to the hospital, his heart was already failing. We doctors can only treat illness, not bring back life!"
"Nonsense."
A brash woman in her forties slapped Chen Lihui across the face. She must have been a laborer, given the weight behind her hand; Chen Lihui's cheek bore a bright red handprint.
Chen Lihui was completely stunned. As an educated man, he was not used to dealing with such people.
Lin Tian was certain of both Chen Lihui's medical skill and ethics. He sensed there must have been some misunderstanding.
Lin Tian stepped forward, shielding Chen Lihui, and said, "Let's talk this out calmly. Before things are made clear, don't resort to violence. I think Dr. Chen is a good doctor; perhaps there's been a misunderstanding on your part."
"Misunderstanding him, pah!" The middle-aged woman spat forcefully.
"This morning, my father suddenly suffered a heart attack and was brought here. Dr. Wang examined him and said he had tachycardia with no life-threatening danger. Then this quack took over the treatment of my father!"
"My father was fine at first, but as soon as he was wheeled into the operating room, this quack issued a critical condition notice. After over two hours of resuscitation, what was only tachycardia ended up as heart failure. And after drinking this quack's prepared potion, my father passed away instantly."
"It's this quack who killed my father, and I demand his life in compensation!" the woman finished, spreading her fingers like claws of a Fierce Tiger, lunging to scratch Chen Lihui.
According to the woman, Chen Lihui indeed seemed like a quack. Tachycardia usually just requires a drip; Chen Lihui had caused a death, if not a quack, what is he then?
Lin Tian stopped the middle-aged woman and asked Chen Lihui, "Is it true? He said you gave his father a potion to drink in the end. What potion?"
Chen Lihui, looking wronged, replied, "It's exactly the potion I just mentioned to you. All copies are configured according to your healing potion, there should be no issues at all."

Lin Tian nodded, he trusted his healing potion and also believed in Chen Lihui's capabilities.
Chen Lihui continued, "And it wasn't as she described. When the elderly man was brought in, he was already suffering from heart failure. It was far from simple tachycardia. I tried to resuscitate him for over two hours. I did everything I could. In the old man's final moments, in a desperate attempt to save him, I gave him a bottle of the healing potion I developed, but it was to no avail. I tried my best!"
Chen Lihui spoke with a heavy heart. Despite his efforts, someone had lost their life before his eyes. As a doctor, the failure to revive a patient weighed heavily on him.
"Nonsense," the woman retorted. "Your director, that Wang Jianhui, told me himself that my father only had tachycardia. He's the director, could his word be untrue!"
Hearing the name Wang Jianhui, Lin Tian finally understood everything.
Chen Lihui was a foreign-educated doctor with knowledge and skill, while Wang Jianhui was his supervisor, who was evidently jealous of Chen Lihui and fearful that one day his position would be snatched away. Hence, he had always undermined Chen Lihui. The last time Lin Tian was in the hospital, he witnessed Wang Jianhui making things difficult for Chen Lihui. Lin Tian surmised that today's incident must also involve Wang Jianhui's mischief.
Just then, a group of hospital staff hurried over, led by two people: one was the hospital dean and the other was Wang Jianhui himself.
Wang Jianhui glared fiercely at Chen Lihui, then said to the woman, "Rest assured, our hospital will take full responsibility for this medical accident. Please wait in my office, and we will give you a satisfactory response after our investigation is complete."
Lin Tian was now even more certain that Wang Jianhui was behind this sabotage. Without even investigating, he declared the incident as the hospital's responsibility. What was the point of an investigation, then!
After a lot of convincing, the patient's family was finally persuaded to leave.
Lin Tian anticipated the next moves against Chen Lihui would come from Wang Jianhui. He discretely stepped aside, watching the development quietly, ready to assist Chen Lihui at the crucial moment.
He had three reasons to help.
The first, he wanted to defend the integrity of his healing potion, not allowing others to insult it.
The second, he respected Chen Lihui's knowledge and wanted to lend him a hand.
The third, he had made every effort to treat He Qianqian, and for her sake, Lin Tian would help him once.
As Lin Tian expected, Wang Jianhui immediately began his assault, pointing at Chen Lihui's nose and demanding, "Chen Lihui, what's the meaning of this? You've disgraced our entire hospital. A simple case of tachycardia, and you managed to kill the patient. To call you a quack is a compliment; you're nothing short of a murderer, a devil."
"Director Wang, that patient was clearly suffering from heart failure when he arrived at our hospital, it was already too late. It wasn't as simple as mere tachycardia," Chen Lihui defended himself.
"Nonsense."
Wang Jianhui spoke with righteous indignation, "I examined the patient myself, and he had only a common case of tachycardia. A simple drip would've sufficed. Now, I regret that I should not have entrusted him to you. A healthy life has been lost just like that."
"Most importantly, do you realize the massive impact this has on our hospital's reputation? Our hospital is the best in Wu'an City, and for over a decade, we haven't had a single medical accident. It's your negligence that could cause immense damage to our hospital."
Wang Jianhui's aggression would get under anyone's skin, and Chen Lihui finally yelled back.
"Director Wang, ever since I joined this hospital, you've been giving me a hard time. I know you're afraid that I might take your position. I can tolerate it on ordinary occasions, but this is a matter of life and death, and I will not stand for it."
