Prison physician

"Ah, you little rascal, be gentle, you're hurting me." Under the night sky, Huludao looked like a sleeping turtle. The evening breeze stirred up the waves, rhythmically hitting the shore, but it couldn't drown out the sounds coming from a couple under the dim lights. "Sorry, Sis, I'm a bit strong..." "Strong? Where? How strong? Show me." Her voice was clear, with a teasing allure that was hard to ignore. "Come on, Sis, don't tease. I meant my strength. Lie still, let me massage you." Chen Ping'an smiled wryly, glancing at his senior sister Qianhong lying on the beach chair. He swallowed hard. She was wearing a thin red dress that barely covered her, making her curvy figure even more enticing under the dim light. Qianhong turned her face slightly, revealing stunning features. Her almond-shaped eyes were full of charm, and her red lips pouted in a mix of annoyance and allure. "You know you're strong, yet you still hit me hard. Are you that eager to go back to see your girlfriend?" Qianhong huffed, clearly annoyed. Mentioning his girlfriend, Chen Ping'an hesitated, stopping his movements. "It's been three years, I should go back." Chen Ping'an's eyes brightened. "I need to see my parents. I haven't contacted them at all in these three years." Three years ago, Chen Ping'an graduated from Tianhai Medical University and interned at a hospital with his girlfriend Liu Dan. One night on their way home, they encountered a thug harassing Liu Dan. Furious, Chen Ping'an beat the thug badly, resulting in him being imprisoned for five years. For the past three years, he had been in Huludao Prison. On his first day in prison, he took a master, trained in both medicine and martial arts, and joined Tiance, becoming the new prison king. Beating Qianhong was the only condition to leave Huludao Prison. To go home, he fought Qianhong. "True." Qianhong nodded slowly, the atmosphere heavy. Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who's got a better figure, me or your girlfriend?" "Is Senior Sister fair?" Chen Ping'an blushed, "Senior Sister, don't tempt me to commit a crime. I'm afraid Master will break my legs." "Ha!" "Aren't you big? Still afraid of Master?" The next morning at nine, Tianhai City Airport. Chen Ping'an walked out slowly, carrying a worn canvas bag. Despite his dark skin, his crew cut made him look exceptionally sharp, with deep, starry eyes. "Tianheyuan." He told the taxi driver, observing the changes in Tianhai over the past three years with a sigh. "I wonder how my parents are doing. They probably hate me." Three years ago, Chen Ping'an was a top student, excelling in all aspects, and the pride of his parents. Three years ago, he went to prison. His thoughts flashed like a movie. The taxi stopped at Tianheyuan, and looking at the dilapidated house, Chen Ping'an took a moment to steady his nerves before knocking on the door. "Creak!" Without much effort, the rusty iron door opened. "Mom." Chen Ping'an stepped in, seeing an elderly woman hunched in the corner, her hair gray and face haggard. One look told him she was plagued by numerous illnesses. "Ping'an?" Liu Suhe turned slowly, her body shaking as if struck by lightning, staring at Chen Ping'an in disbelief. "Ping'an, my son, is it really you?" "Mom!" Chen Ping'an rushed to hug her, his heart aching. She was only fifty, but looked like she was seventy or eighty, walking with a stoop, as if carrying a heavy burden. "Mom, it's me, it's me." "It's good you're back, good you're back." Liu Suhe couldn't hold back her tears, cupping his face and patting his shoulder. Her cloudy eyes finally had a glimmer of light. Inside, Liu Suhe poured Chen Ping'an a cup of hot water. "Ping'an, weren't you sentenced to five years? How come you're out now?" She remembered that her son had been sentenced to five years for injuring someone, as the other party didn't accept mediation. It had only been three years, so how was he out? "Oh, I studied medicine. I helped many people in prison, behaved well, so they reduced my sentence." Tiance was mysterious, so Chen Ping'an lied. He was curious why the house had fallen into such disrepair. "Mom, is Dad at the clinic? Is he coming home for lunch? And how are my brother and sister-in-law doing? Little Song should be in kindergarten now, right?" Chen Ping'an couldn't help asking, "Has Dan Dan treated you and Dad well these three years?" "Ah!" Liu Suhe's tears started again. "Your brother and sister-in-law are gone. Their car lost control and plunged into the river. Their bodies were never found. And your dad..." "Chen Lijun, get out here! I don't believe you can be a coward forever!" Just then, the gate was kicked open, and an angry shout came from outside. Chen Ping'an frowned, ready to confront them. Chen Lijun was his father, and he wouldn't tolerate such insults. "No!" Liu Suhe panicked, hurriedly pushing Chen Ping'an into the bedroom, "Quick, hide under the bed. Don't come out unless I call you. They won't harm an old woman. Hurry, hide..." "Bang!" The wooden door shattered, and three shirtless thugs with cigarettes barged in. "Hide? Let's see where you can hide. I saw you come back with my own eyes. Huh, not Chen Lijun, but his son?" The leader, a blond, looked at Chen Ping'an in surprise. "Yes, I'm Chen Ping'an, Chen Lijun's son." Chen Ping'an suppressed his rising anger, staring at the thugs with eyes like daggers. "A son's debt is his father's debt. Can't find the father, so the son will do. Pay up!" The blond thug held out his hand, "Your dad owes our boss twenty thousand, overdue by ten days. Pay up or get out and hand over the house." "Twenty thousand? My dad borrowed?" Chen Ping'an frowned deeply, turning to his mother in disbelief. "Mom, did Dad borrow money? Our clinic's business was always good, why borrow money?" Chen Ping'an pressed for answers. "Little Song got sick, acute leukemia. Your dad wouldn't give up, as he's the only bloodline left from your brother and sister-in-law, so he borrowed five thousand from some people." Liu Suhe couldn't hide the family's huge misfortune any longer. "Kid, pay up. We don't have time to waste." The blond thug urged, "Debts must be repaid. I hope you understand." "We will pay." Chen Ping'an's heart bled, suppressing the pain from the family's misfortune. "But give us some time, I just got back..." "Screw you! Same excuse as your dad. Can't even come up with a new one. You're just like your crippled father!" The blond thug exploded, cursing profusely. "Crippled?" Chen Ping'an was shocked, barely able to stand. "What happened to my dad?" "Two years ago, after your brother and sister-in-law's accident, your dad was mugged after withdrawing money from the bank." Liu Suhe's tears never stopped. The past three years had been like a knife cutting her flesh, stabbing her heart. "Your dad resisted, so they broke his leg and stabbed him in the stomach. If it wasn't for timely rescue, he would have died..." "Stop whining! Too much talking." The blond thug was impatient. "We don't have time for your sob story. Two words, pay up, or get out. The house is ours now..." "Get out!" Chen Ping'an's heart ached as if being stabbed. After three years, he returned to a nearly broken family. How could he show kindness to these loan sharks? If not for restraining himself, he would have killed them. "What? You dare tell me to get out? I'll beat you to death!" The blond thug was stunned, then swung a fist at Chen Ping'an's face. "Don't hit my son..." Liu Suhe, protective as ever, threw her frail body in front of Chen Ping'an.
