"I'm sorry, but this flight is overbooked. We're going to compensate you twenty dollars. Please deplane immediately." The head flight attendant had my suitcase in a death grip. Her tone wasn't a request—it was an order. I gave her a cold look, then turned my gaze to the man beside us, who had just been escorted onto the plane, draped in designer labels. "Why does he get to board after showing up late, while I—who paid full price—am being forced off?" She let out a mocking laugh and lowered her voice to taunt me. "Because he's the son of a top-tier medical conglomerate in Scallow City. He's rushing there to beg an elusive miracle doctor—the famous Phantom Surgeon—to save his life. "No matter how urgent your business is, can it really compare to a human life? If you delay Mr. Stafford, ten lives couldn't pay for it. Now get off." Several security guards dragged me off the plane by force as I watched the cabin doors close. I laughed in sheer disbelief. The "Mr. Stafford" she was talking about was William Stafford, and he was terminally ill. What she didn't know was that I was the very "Phantom Surgeon" his entire family had been on their knees begging for three months—pleading with me to fly to Scallow City and perform his surgery today. Since they threw me off the plane, I won't be doing that operation. As for William, he can go ahead and wait for death.

Chapter 1
Dragging my suitcase behind me, I made my way step by step to the ticket change and refund counter."I'd like a refund."I slapped my ID onto the counter, my voice edged with irritation.The staff member glanced at her screen, then gave me a once-over from head to toe before rolling her eyes. "Sorry, since you missed boarding for personal reasons, we can only refund the airport service fee and fuel surcharge—twelve dollars. The full ticket price isn't refundable."I let out a laugh of pure anger. "Personal reasons? Your flight was overbooked. You forcibly removed a full-fare passenger—that's me—and you call that my personal reason?"Her fingers clattered impatiently against the keyboard. "Who told you to make a scene in the cabin and disrupt order? You're lucky to even get this twelve dollars. Don't push your luck!"Just then, the sharp click of high heels approached from a distance. The same chief flight attendant strode over arrogantly, her phone held up as she recorded."A br

I ignored the onlookers and turned to the ground staff."A refund is fine. But you must clearly state, in black and white on the refund form, that this was caused by your airline's overbooking and forced denial of boarding."Otherwise, when the Stafford family came knocking, they'd think I had deliberately breached the agreement. I would not take the blame for that.The chief flight attendant's expression darkened. She slammed her hand against the counter."Dream on! We offered you a solution and you refused it, and now you want to smear our airline?"Security! Are you all dead? Get this crazy woman out of here!"Several airport security guards rushed over immediately, grabbing my arms on either side."Let go!"I struggled with everything I had, but they ignored me, dragging me straight toward the airport exit.As I passed the chief flight attendant, I couldn't help but remind her, "You'd better remember my face today. And every word you just said. Very soon, you'll be kneelin

Chapter 3
The postscript contained only five words: Please find someone more capable.300 thousand dollars might be an astronomical sum to others, but to me, it wasn't enough to offset the humiliation I'd suffered today.After that, I blocked every contact from the Stafford family, cutting off all ties completely.Looking at the crushed powder of my custom-made medicine scattered across the floor, I let out a cold laugh.'William, your life is no longer my concern.'I hailed a taxi and went straight back to the hospital.The moment I sat down in my office, my phone began vibrating wildly again.As soon as I answered, the hospital director, Dr. George Whitman's furious roar exploded through the line."Diana! What the hell are you doing?! The Stafford family has already called me! They said you caused trouble at the airport and even tried to assault William! The chief flight attendant only had you removed to protect him, and instead of reflecting on your actions, you even dared to return t

A sharp, pungent smell filled the air."Diana! You damned quack! Get your ass out here!"I yanked the door open.A bucket of red paint had been splashed across my security door, dripping down through the seams.The chief flight attendant stood there with several airline security guards, blocking my doorway with aggressive force.The hallway was already crowded with curious neighbors, craning their necks and whispering among themselves."Unbelievable… she seemed like such an honest girl. Who would've thought she's a black-hearted doctor?""Exactly. If people are already at her door throwing paint, she must've done something awful!"Hearing the murmurs, the flight attendant grew even more smug."Everyone, take a look! This is the quack! She took a patient's money and refused to do the job, deliberately delaying treatment until the patient's life is in danger! Now she's hiding at home playing dead. A doctor like this should be arrested and sentenced!"Her face twisted with malic

"Ask her. At the airport yesterday, in the departure hall, she damaged my suitcase. She also crushed the custom medicine I personally prepared for William. Without that medicine to protect his heart, forget surgery—he wouldn't even survive the anesthesia!"The flight attendant's smile froze instantly."Stop slandering me! You're the one who deliberately spilled your things, and now you're trying to pin it on me? Sir, don't listen to this crazy woman. She's a liar!"Watching her frantic denial, I found it almost laughable."The surveillance cameras in the departure hall recorded everything clearly. Why don't you check for yourself?"The Stafford family's butler stared at me, weighing the truth of my words.After a moment, he let out a cold snort."Enough of your excuses! The Stafford family can obtain as many rare medicinal ingredients as we want. At worst, we'll have someone prepare another batch! Now, come with me. Immediately!"With a wave of his hand, the bodyguards lifted m

Dr. Smith straightened the wrinkles in his coat where he'd been grabbed, then let out a cold snort."Joel, I don't understand why you would rather believe a fraud than trust modern medicine."He lifted his chin high, his face filled with disdain and contempt for me."Leave William to me. We have the most advanced equipment and the most effective drugs. I guarantee he will walk out of the operating room safe and sound."Joel slowly rose to his feet, his clouded eyes shifting back and forth between Smith and me.The custom medicine had already been destroyed. Rather than place his hopes on a doctor with no medicine left, it was safer to trust an internationally renowned authority.The calculation took only an instant.Joel's expression changed immediately."Dr. Smith, my grandson's life is in your hands! Prepare for the surgery at once!"Then he turned to the butler, his voice turning ice-cold."Lock this woman in the lounge. Keep her under strict watch. If William comes throug

I looked coldly at Joel and his butler, then rose to my feet and walked straight toward the operating room.Any further delay, and William would truly become a corpse.I pushed through the doors at a brisk pace.William lay on the table, his chest fully opened, blood already flooding past the pericardium.On the monitor, his heart rate had flattened into a straight line.I stepped forward quickly, glanced at the medication record beside him, and rage shot straight to my head.That idiot! To force hemostasis, he had used an excessive dose of thrombin!William's heart meridians were already depleted—such a potent drug had directly caused widespread microvascular thrombosis throughout his body.Multiple organ failure.The situation was ten times worse than I had anticipated.These incompetents had turned a living man into a dead one."Move!"I shoved the stunned Dr. Smith aside and snatched the cloth bundle from the nurse's tray.Under the surgical lights, the silver needles

Next, I logged into my personal account, created a new post, and hit publish.The information was shared across the entire internet.In less than ten minutes, the trending charts crashed completely.The tide of public opinion flipped in an instant, and outrage swept across the web.[A plot twist? That flight attendant is basically a murderer! She crushed someone's life-saving medicine and then tried to pin the blame on the innocent doctor!][The Stafford family is disgusting. Their own hired doctor turned their heir into a vegetable, and they're blaming the Phantom Surgeon?][And that hospital director—spouting lies and giving false testimony. He doesn't deserve to be a doctor at all!][The airline covered it up, even fabricated footage. Boycott this garbage airline!]In just half an hour, the airline's stock plummeted straight to its limit down, wiping out billions in value.Terrified, the airline's executives issued an apology overnight.To quell public outrage, the chief f

Chapter 9
"Mr. William! What's wrong with you?!"The Stafford butler's hands trembled in shock, and the expensive white porcelain medicine bowl slipped from his grasp, shattering on the floor.On the bed, William's body convulsed violently, twisting and jerking as mouthfuls of black blood poured from his lips.The monitor let out a sharp, piercing alarm—his heart rate plummeting straight to zero.William stared fixedly at the ceiling… and breathed his last."William!"Joel's eyes split wide in fury and grief. His only heir—his greatest pride—had just died horribly before his eyes.Overcome by shock, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed backward, rigid as a board."Master Joel! Call an ambulance!"The entire Stafford household erupted into chaos. The Stafford butler stared at William's ghastly corpse, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.At last, it hit him. He'd been deceived."Diana! You vicious woman! I'll carve you into a thousand pieces!"That very night, the Stafford b

Soon after, the National Medical Regulatory Agency joined forces with the police and struck with thunderous authority.Medical institutions under the Stafford Group were exposed across the internet for illegal trading and tax evasion. The centuries-old Stafford family collapsed overnight, declaring bankruptcy.Joel was thrown out of his private hospital—bed and all—left lying in the street, drooling.The Stafford butler had every bone in his body broken by Bryce O'Connor's men and ended up begging beneath the overpass with a battered bowl.Even Dr. Whitman didn't escape. Following the trail, the authorities uncovered his embezzlement, bribery, and use of substandard medical equipment. Outraged patients whose loved ones had been maimed stormed the hospital. With baseball bats in hand, they shattered his legs on the spot. He was stripped of his medical license and expelled from the profession.Half a month later, I had just stepped out of my temporary clinic when a figure suddenly
