The fake heiress loves to act? The max-level boss isn't interested in playing along.

Cheng's mother stared at the scene on the screen, watching her son's lewd and out-of-control behavior.

His face turned deathly pale instantly, his whole body stiffened, and his legs went weak.

"Dean Fang, please call the police immediately. I want to get to the bottom of this."

Cheng's mother was a law-abiding citizen her whole life, and her greatest fear was breaking the law and going to jail.

Hearing words like "hooliganism," "sentence," and "re-education through labor" had already made them panic.

If Cheng Yue hears that Fu Hua will be investigated, won't he go to jail?

All of Cheng's mother's arrogance vanished instantly.

She could no longer be defiant; her attitude underwent a complete 180-degree turn.

He hurriedly stood up, bowed repeatedly to Fu Hua, and apologized, his tone humble and flustered:

"Dr. Fu, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was ignorant and made wild guesses. I shouldn't have cursed people and spread rumors in public."

I don't know much about the law, and my words may have been harsh. Please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart.

Please don't call the police! Please don't send my son to jail!

"I promise I'll keep Cheng Yue in check from now on, make him behave himself, and he'll never come near you again or cause any more trouble. Please, please let us go this time."

Fu Hua's expression remained indifferent, her eyes unwavering, and she spoke coldly:

"If apologies are useful, then the law is meaningless."

Verbal abuse, workplace harassment, malicious offense—repeatedly, each instance true—I have no reason to forgive easily.

Seeing this, Dean Fang tried to mediate.

On the one hand, she felt sorry for Fu Hua, who had been wronged and publicly slandered.

On the other hand, there are also concerns that once the police are notified and a case is filed,

If word gets out about the hooliganism charge, it will damage the hospital's reputation.

Most importantly, it will cause unnecessary rumors and trouble for Hua's work and life.

"Fu Hua, the hospital knows about your grievances. It's not your fault. Cheng Yue's mother was also confused for a moment. She lost her sense of proportion because she loved her son too much."

"It's best to be forgiving when possible. There's no need to escalate the matter to the police or make it public knowledge; that will only negatively impact your situation."

Cheng's mother quickly echoed her, nodding repeatedly and begging for forgiveness: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. It has nothing to do with my son. I was just throwing a tantrum. Please don't take it seriously and don't call the police."

Fu Hua raised her eyes, her gaze sharp, her aura commanding, and spoke each word with resounding force:

"I'm never afraid of the impact; if I'm upright, I have nothing to fear."

The one who did wrong wasn't me. It's never the innocent victims who need to cower, live in fear, and bow their heads in apology; it's those unruly, despicable scoundrels who did wrong.

These words made Cheng's mother blush with shame and embarrassment, and she dared not say another word.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Cheng Yue, who was still resting at home, soon received the news.

Upon learning that his mother had caused a scene at the hospital and publicly slandered Fu Hua, his expression changed drastically.

He didn't even bother to put on his coat, and he put his shoes on the wrong feet. He rushed off to the hospital in a panic.

He had just stepped out of his house when two police cars stopped with their sirens blaring.

Many neighbors peeked out to watch the spectacle.

Upon receiving a tip, the police officers handling the case, combined with reports of hooliganism, harassment, and malicious infringement of others' rights, went directly to the location.

Several police officers stepped forward, their attitude serious, and showed their identification before taking Cheng Yue away on the spot in accordance with the law.

The whole process was crisp and efficient, without the slightest ambiguity.

Cheng Yue was completely stunned, his face turned pale, and he was unable to resist as he was taken away in a police car.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Cheng Yue's matter has been settled.

No one in the hospital dared to casually discuss the farce from back then anymore.

Dean Fang has personally clarified the facts for Fu Hua.

Life goes on, and comments will eventually be buried under the weight of daily work.

After lunch break, the department corridor was quiet.

Cheng Jin happened to run into Fu Hua and stopped in her tracks.

He spoke solemnly, telling her the latest news.

"Huahua, Cheng Yue's verdict is in."

"Yes, Dean Fang told me."

Initially, it was just a matter of administrative punishment, at most a detention warning and a small fine, and that was it.

I don't know what happened in the middle, but it suddenly escalated into a criminal case.

Ultimately, Cheng Yue was sentenced to six months of detention, setting a precedent.

"The hospital also issued a notice immediately, officially dismissing Cheng Yue and filing all his personnel files."

Cheng Jin said with a hint of regret, "He will never be able to return to the hospital again, let alone work in the medical field."

Cheng Yue repeatedly reminded him not to harbor any inappropriate fantasies about dealing with Hua, but he simply wouldn't listen.

They deserved this outcome; they brought it upon themselves.

Fu Hua remained calm, showing little surprise.

She recalled that she had spoken to Xie Ci on the phone a few nights ago and briefly mentioned this matter.

It was just a casual remark, a statement of fact.

The sudden increase in penalties, transforming a public order case into a criminal case, is likely inextricably linked to the refusal to admit guilt.

He held a special position, acted efficiently, and was both protective of his own interests and had a strong sense of principle.

It's only natural that they would never allow others to bully her at will, and would secretly take action to suppress her.

Fu Hua nodded gently, her tone calm and even: "I understand."

During this period, Cheng Yue and his mother repeatedly picked fights and caused trouble.

Repeatedly crossing the line has caused widespread frustration and unrest.

Now, the dust has settled, and this troublesome problem has finally been resolved.

From now on, I will no longer be bothered by this mother and son, and I can finally have some peace and quiet.

Putting this unpleasant experience aside, work must continue.

Fu Hua snapped out of her thoughts and turned to the research and development of coronary balloons.

.........

Meanwhile, a hidden crisis is quietly brewing between Li Yan and Tan Rongrong.

Li Yan returned to the courtyard for lunch at noon.

The afternoon sun was gentle and warm, streaming into the room through the window, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Li Yan was clearing away the dishes when he hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, his tone gentle and conciliatory.

"Rongrong, you said your job has been assigned. When are you going to your workplace to officially report for duty?"

These words took on a completely different meaning when they reached Tan Rongrong's ears.

She suddenly raised her head, her eyes instantly filled with a sense of grievance.

His lips were slightly pursed, and his eyes were red-rimmed.

Her voice was filled with grievance and unease: "Brother Yan, are you trying to get rid of me? Do you think I've been here too long and annoyed you?"

Upon seeing this, Li Yan quickly put down what he was holding.

She hurriedly explained, "No, I absolutely didn't mean to kick you out. I just see you taking care of me every day, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, and worrying about everything for me. It's too tiring for you."

You have your own things to do, your own work, and I can't hold you back.

Tan Rongrong lowered her eyes, her fingers gently twisting the hem of her clothes, and remained silent for a few seconds.

She spoke softly, "You don't need to kick me out. I was planning to leave tomorrow anyway, and I was just thinking of telling you tonight."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan felt a surge of self-reproach.

The two had relied on each other since childhood and were each other's only family.

His younger sister traveled a long way to the capital to be with him, taking meticulous care of his daily needs.

Yet he remained wary and secretly suspicious.

It's too cold-hearted to urge her to go to work now.
