Chapter Eighty-four: A Change of Heart
Compared to the Pak family's success in cracking down on this subversive plot against several major Korean families, Han Ankang is more concerned about the whereabouts of the poisonous doctor who cultivated the poisonous moth. However, the captured family members who confessed to everything did not know about the existence of this poisonous doctor at all. This is because they were largely just cooperating with Japan in carrying out this plan. This means that the appearance of the poisonous doctor has a significant connection to Japan.
Exposing the existence of this poisonous doctor would pose a great threat to the safety of these aristocratic families in South Korea. Fortunately, this time we were able to eliminate the internal response, making it not so easy for Japan to implement this plan again. As for the previous poisoning incident involving Choi Jin-san, it was also secretly planned by this family.
As for how they knew, this jade pendant would make people poisoned with yin toxin, they also got advice from Japan. A killing trick was set up specifically for Cui Zhen Shan's hobby. It just didn't occur to them that Han An Kang had such a magical medical skill, and the plan that Japan and this rebellious family thought was flawless was ruined.
It's a good thing to catch the murderer, at least Song Qian and others who had been hiding in the hotel sleeping every day felt that taking a break was also a kind of suffering. Until Han Ankang told them that the matter had been resolved and they could move around freely, Song Qian and others couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief!
The only thing that made Jung Soo-jung a little unhappy was that Han Ahn-gang didn't have time to see them yet, because although their crisis had been resolved, Han Ahn-gang's work wasn't over. To ensure that everything was completely cleared up, Han Ahn-gang had already decided to thoroughly eliminate Park Jeong-tae's remaining poison before dealing with other matters.
Park's family was also deeply moved by Han Ankang's dedication to his work. Of course, the girls didn't know who Han Ankang was taking care of, but they all knew that at this time, Han Ankang still had to prioritize treating patients as a doctor and wouldn't do anything that would neglect his patients just to accompany them.
Song Qian and others who returned to their dormitory naturally let out a long sigh of relief, and they hadn't appeared in the entertainment circle for several days. This also attracted attention from many media outlets, fortunately, there were prior arrangements made with the Pu and Cui families. Major media outlets didn't report much on the news about Song Qian and others being banned. Moreover, Song Qian and others who returned to the entertainment circle again felt the pain of running around for commercials the next day.
Jung Soo-yeon and Lim Yoon-a, who had also disappeared for a few days, returned to the dormitory and faced questioning from Tae-yeon and others. The two girls, who had both received warnings, directly stated that it was not convenient for them to reveal what had happened to them over the past few days. As for the reason, it was simply because the matter was too big, and knowing about it would only bring harm to their fellow sisters without any benefit.
Both girls said so, and the small captain also guessed that this matter might have something to do with Song Qian and others. This matter is over, let's just say that the two of them took a few days off to go home. As for the outside speculation about their consecutive absences from collective activities, Taeyeon and others used exactly this excuse.
It seems that everything has returned to the usual calmness of Jung Soo-yeon, but she can't help but remember what happened that night. Especially when thinking about the boy who hugged her and fell down, Jung Soo-yeon always feels a little bit nostalgic. This strange feeling makes it even more severe for her to empty her mind as she returns to the team.
Lin Yuner suggested that Zheng Xiuyan see a psychologist, fearing that she had been left with psychological trauma from the hospital shooting incident. However, all she got was a dismissive look from Zheng Xiuyan, who insisted that this wasn't some kind of mental illness. At most, she just couldn't shake off the memory of that night's scene. It was more of a psychological confusion and incomprehension, not a mental illness.
Perhaps seeing Zheng Xiuyan being able to eat and sleep, and everything being normal when she made announcements, Lin Yun'er gradually dispelled her worries about her. Compared to the two of them, in the end, there was almost no time left, and they would call Han Ankang. Zheng Xiujing asked him when he would fulfill his promise, but all she got were words from Han Ankang saying "soon".
It was only half a month after they were freed from the shooting incident that Han Ankang saw Park Jeong-tae, who had recovered to the point where he could walk steadily. To Choi Jin-san and the other elderly people, Park Jeong-tae, who had regained his usual habit of blowing his mustache and glaring with his eyes, officially announced the end of treatment. From now on, as long as they guarantee Park Jeong-tae's daily life, I believe there will be no problem.
This news is undoubtedly a great joy and gratitude for the Park family. This time, Han Ankang, to put it mildly, saved the master of the Park family from being severely damaged by the military regime that had been in power for many years. But to put it more broadly, through his reminder, he exposed the military regime that committed treason, which is equivalent to saving countless masters of the military and government families!
Facing the end of treatment, Han Ahn-kang was reluctant to stay in the military's secret hospital. The Park family eventually gave him a villa that was used for their own rest and relaxation as a place to settle down when he came to South Korea at the request of Park Chung-tae himself. Han Ahn-kang, whose mindset had changed a lot by then, accepted it without being too polite.
Considering that Han Ankang might be targeted by the Japanese this time, in order to ensure his safety during peacetime. Choe Jinshan suggested that Jiang Minghao, who was still recovering from his injuries, would be assigned as his personal bodyguard. Of course, apart from Jiang Minghao, a team of elite retired special forces soldiers were also assigned as his bodyguards.
As for this suggestion, Han Ankang considered that in such a big city, with his current ability, he really didn't dare to guarantee it. Every time he was lucky enough to be saved by the hospital, thanks to his sixth sense.
So, Han Ankang, who was also used to having bodyguards following him around, suggested that the bodyguard team be assigned to him. However, those people had to accept his command, and the wages of the additional employees had to be paid by himself. Anyway, Han Ankang still had a lot of money on him now, so he could afford to bear the expenses of several bodyguards.
In addition to the teachings of Cuizhen Mountain last time, Han Ankang also understood that when helping these big families, sometimes you don't take money or gifts. Others always feel that owing such a great favor is not good to repay, and instead think that Han Ankang is too greedy.
Now Han Ankang seems much more casual, as long as he treats the patients with his medical skills, he doesn't mention anything about the diagnosis fee. He lets these patients pay whatever they want, and he doesn't mind if it's more or less. By accepting this gift, it also means that the patient's family has repaid Han Ankang's kindness in treating their illness. This makes Han Ankang feel relieved, and those high-ranking officials don't have to feel embarrassed about owing him a favor anymore.
It's clear that Han Ankang has transformed from a somewhat old-fashioned doctor to a more free-spirited healer. People like Choi Jin-san didn't think Han Ankang had become worldly, but rather found him easier to get along with. After all, constantly being made to regard Han Ankang as their benefactor made them feel somewhat uneasy in his presence.
Of course, this does not include the Choi and Park families. For these two families, Han Ankang is their savior. If it weren't for Han Ankang's help, they probably wouldn't be living so carefree now. So other families suddenly wondered, next time they get into trouble, will Han Ankang still accept their invitations like before?
It's just that in this world, the thoughts of big shots are very contradictory. They don't like owing others favors, but when they think the other person is useful to them, they also hope to maintain this relationship. As a result, they live tiredly, while Han Ankang, who has already let go of his emotions, thinks that everything can be done naturally.
Don't evaluate yourself based on others' good or bad feelings, as long as you feel clear conscience and live happily. That's what Han Ankang thinks is the greatest gain from this trip to South Korea. He needs to follow the ancient medical ethics of benevolence and kindness, while also getting used to modern people's pursuit of a free lifestyle.
Han Ankang, who had made those old generals feel guilty at the nursing home last time, also deliberately called Zhao Hu and others after figuring everything out to express his gratitude for their rescue that day. At the same time, he also said that when he returned to China, he would go to the nursing home again to visit these old generals.
Zhao Hu felt a change in Han Ankang's mentality, no longer being so fragile and becoming more carefree, and naturally let out a sigh of relief. For them, although Han Ankang's medical ethics and skills were top-notch, every time they saw the not-so-young Han Ankang, they couldn't help but worry about how far he could go in the future.
It seems that Han Ankang's personality has changed a bit, and he has adapted to the complex reality of life. Although he has become more casual like young people, this proves that Han Ankang really has the character that belongs to him at his age. Whether it is good or bad, Zhao Hu and others are not clear, and can only let time verify everything.
At least they can confirm one thing, that is, Han Ankang, who used to only understand 'don't have a heart that harms others', has maintained this excellent virtue while also learning a mature 'have a heart that guards against others'. With this mature and rational mindset, it is clear that Han Ankang will go further in the future, and he may truly become a worthy 'national hand' of Chinese medicine.
Han Ahn-kang arrived under the escort of bodyguards formally assigned to him by Kang Min-ho, and signed his name on the deed transferring ownership of the house, turning it into Park's leisure villa, a private vacation home located in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
Looking at this humble villa, Han Ankang knew that he had been fooled by Old Man Park again. If a villa with gardens, swimming pools and tennis courts was considered a small villa, then what would be considered a large one in the eyes of Old Man Park?
This area is larger than his big yard in Hui Long Village, and it's located in the prosperous Jiangnan District. Its value can't be measured by money! The rent he paid was undoubtedly too high!
