When Chen Ping exposed their thoughts in front of everyone, a moment of embarrassment flashed across their faces, followed by anger and rage. They continued to sit on the ground, throwing tantrums and wailing loudly.

"We don't care! We don't understand anything about records! This person was initially treated here! If he dies, that's your responsibility!"

"You must compensate us today! If you don't pay, we'll cause trouble every day and make your clinic go out of business!"

The villagers watching pointed and whispered. Some, unaware of the truth, joined in the lament and discussion, while others saw through the family's ulterior motives of making a scene and extorting money, and shook their heads inwardly.

Looking at this group of ruthless and ungrateful people, Chen Ping's last bit of patience was completely exhausted.

He had originally planned to negotiate properly, find out the truth, and handle the matter amicably, but now it seems that it was all unnecessary.

Trying to reason with such unreasonable and extortionate scoundrels is like casting pearls before swine.

Chen Ping took a deep breath, suppressing the surging rage in his chest, and turned to Zhao Guosheng, saying, "Dean, stop wasting time talking to them, just call the police."

"Some people are causing trouble at medical facilities, disrupting the normal order of medical institutions, and maliciously smearing the reputation of health centers. We need the police to come and handle this according to the law."

Zhao Guosheng was already exhausted from the commotion, so upon hearing this, he immediately nodded and quickly took out his phone to dial the police.

Chen Ping reached for his phone, his fingertips radiating suppressed anger, and dialed Lin Xiaoran's number.

The call connected quickly, and Lin Xiaoran's voice came from the other end: "Chen Ping? What's wrong?"

Chen Ping's tone was icy, devoid of any extra emotion, "Xiao Ran, I've encountered a medical dispute here, and I need your help."

He quickly recounted the whole story, giving Lin Xiaoran a general understanding of the situation.

"In the past, when we encountered such things, we mostly chose to swallow our anger and pay money to avoid trouble in order to keep things quiet."

"But this time, I will not tolerate it."

"These people are ungrateful, distort the truth, and maliciously disrupt the order of our hospital by causing trouble. I will sue them for provoking trouble, malicious extortion, and defamation."

"At the same time, I will also hold the county hospital accountable for its shirking of responsibility and evasion of medical duties, which led to the patient's subsequent death due to inadequate treatment. I will pursue legal action against them, investigate the whole truth, and hold everyone responsible accountable without exception!"

Perhaps it was the unfair treatment he received from that family when he was in Tianhai City that made him particularly angry this time.

No matter the cost, he will make this family that caused the medical dispute pay the price.

Lin Xiaoran, who was on the other end of the phone, understood the seriousness of the matter instantly after hearing the whole thing. Without any hesitation, she immediately responded.

"I understand. Keep the scene under control, protect all emergency records, referral documents, and surveillance footage, and preserve all evidence."

"I will set off immediately to go to Siping Township in person to verify the situation and handle this lawsuit in full."

After saying that, Lin Xiaoran hung up the phone.

A moment after the phone call ended, the sound of a police siren came from outside the hospital. The siren grew louder as it approached and soon stopped in front of the clinic.

The two police cars landed smoothly, and six uniformed police officers got out of the cars with swift and decisive movements.

Upon seeing this, the villagers who were watching instinctively stepped back, and the originally noisy crowd instantly became mostly quiet.

The police officer in charge, Chen Ping, recognized him. He was the newly transferred director of the police station, surnamed Wang, in his forties, with a dark complexion and a brisk walk.

He strode into the courtyard, glanced at the family writhing on the ground, the glaring banner, and the corpse covered in a white sheet in the center, and his face immediately darkened.

"Stop fooling around!"

Director Wang's loud voice, carrying the authority of a public official, drowned out the wailing from the crowd: "Gathering a crowd to besiege a medical institution, displaying banners to cause trouble, and disrupting public order—do you know that this is illegal?"

The family crying on the ground were not afraid at all. Taking advantage of the fact that the dead were respected, they remained on the ground and refused to get up. The woman slapped the ground and wailed loudly, her voice sharp and piercing.

"If we don't make a scene, who will? My family members died unjustly! Nobody will stand up for us!"

"We won't leave until this matter is resolved and we pay compensation. Even if it's the King of Heaven himself, we won't leave! Who dares to kick us out!"

The deceased's son stood up defiantly, blocking the body with his arms outstretched, clearly displaying a shameless attitude.

Director Wang's expression was cold and stern. He didn't bother to waste any more words with them and gestured to the onlookers, "Fellow villagers, please disperse. There's nothing to see here."

"Also, put your phones away and don't take photos or videos. Anyone who posts them online will be held accountable."

After saying that, Director Wang gave a wink.

Five police officers immediately stepped forward, orderly dispersed the crowd, and patiently persuaded the onlookers.

The crowd had only come to watch the spectacle, and seeing that the police were serious, no one wanted to cause trouble, so they dispersed in twos and threes.

Before long, the area in front of the health center was cleared out, leaving only the family that had caused the disturbance, a few people from the health center, and a few police officers.

After the crowd was dispersed, Director Wang turned to the family members who had caused the disturbance and said, "I want to reiterate that medical disputes can be resolved through negotiation and mediation, or you can pursue legal action. No one is stopping you from protecting your rights legally."

"However, placing the body in a public place without authorization, gathering crowds to cause trouble, and maliciously smearing the reputation of the unit have seriously disrupted public order and violated the Public Security Administration Regulations."

"Immediately move the body properly, and everyone must come with us to the police station to cooperate with the investigation!"

Upon hearing this, the family immediately erupted in anger and refused to cooperate under any circumstances.

"Why should we be taken away? We are the victims!"

"Don't move the body! Moving it would make the clinic look guilty!"

"If you don't pay compensation today, the body will stay here, and nobody's moving it!"

Several people desperately protected the body on the ground, some hugging its legs, some blocking it, acting unreasonably and utterly unreasonable.

When we try to reason with them, they just argue and make trouble.

Now that law enforcement officers are handling the matter according to regulations, they've started feigning helplessness and acting like scoundrels.

Seeing that repeated persuasion had failed, Director Wang decided to take no further leniency and directly ordered: "Those who refuse to cooperate with law enforcement will be forcibly taken away! The bodies will be transferred to the funeral home for proper handling!"

Several police officers immediately stepped forward, their movements disciplined and controlled, and restrained the family members who were struggling and crying.

The group tried to use their hands and feet, crying, shouting, and cursing, but all their tantrums were useless in the face of law enforcement.

Before long, the entire family, young and old, who were being unreasonable, were brought under control and taken away in police cars one by one.

Funeral staff who arrived later followed the procedure and carefully lifted the body from the ground onto a special vehicle, covering it completely with a white sheet, before slowly driving away from the health center.

In just over ten minutes, the noisy and bustling health center became completely quiet.

A few scattered pieces of paper money, messy footprints, and a banner torn to the ground remained on the ground. When the wind blew, the empty courtyard was left with only a mess, which made people feel depressed.

Looking at the scene before him, Zhao Guosheng sighed deeply, his face full of exhaustion.

Medical disputes in rural areas are the most troublesome. The worst are those villagers who don't listen to reason and only act like scoundrels. In the past, every time things got out of hand, the health center would just accept its bad luck and pay some money to settle the matter.

He rubbed his temples, turned to look at Chen Ping, and said helplessly, "Chen Ping, I'll go to the police station with them to give a statement and handle the follow-up matters."

"Keep an eye on things at the institute. Calm down the new interns; they look pretty scared."

Zhao Guosheng was afraid that this commotion would scare away the five interns.

Who would dare to come to their Siping Township Health Center after that?
