《Perspective Medical Genius Young Master》 Chapter 1 - 1 1 Opportunity ?1: Chapter 1 Opportunity 1: Chapter 1 Opportunity ¡°Xiao Yi, I¡¯ve given you so many chances, yet you¡¯ve disappointed me greatly. This is your last chance; if you can¡¯t complete it, don¡¯t blame me. After all, our hospital doesn¡¯t need a doctor who can¡¯t do anything right!¡± Looking at the rather handsome young man in front of him, Wang Changping swayed his portly body while sitting on the chair. ¡°Director Wang, rest assured, I will definitely complete this medical task!¡± Xiao Yifei said, his eyes brimming with determination. Wang Changping feigned sincerity, ¡°Such a driven young man like you is very good, I appreciate it. If you can successfully complete this task, I can recommend you for a permanent position!¡± ¡°Director Wang, don¡¯t worry, I will definitely achieve the goal!¡± Xiao Yifei nodded repeatedly. Watching Xiao Yifei turn and leave, a cold smile spread across Wang Changping¡¯s chubby face: ¡°I have seen the patient in Room 302, and I am sure that the condition is not difficult to diagnose. Therefore, this task isn¡¯t tough, just grasp the opportunity well!¡± Shangjing Hospital is one of the top hospitals in the country; Xiao Yifei stood out from nearly a thousand new graduates and became an intern at Shangjing Hospital right after his graduation, which fully showcased his capabilities. However, the kind are easily bullied, and the gentler the mare, the easier ridden. Just a few days into his internship, Xiao Yifei stumbled upon Wang Changping and the head nurse in a compromising situation in the office, and from then on, he became a thorn in Wang Changping¡¯s side. Wang Changping would hand over any patient with an intractable condition to him, resulting in all the interns who were hired at the same time as him getting permanent positions while he was still wearing the intern badge. The condition of the patient in Room 302 was extremely peculiar; even using the most advanced equipment in the city had not led to a definitive diagnosis. By passing this hot potato to him, Wang Changping was clearly looking for an excuse to drive Xiao Yifei away. Stepping out of the hospital, Xiao Yifei sighed deeply. This time he had truly been caught in Wang Changping¡¯s trap. Since he was going to be driven away anyway, Xiao Yifei wasn¡¯t in a hurry to go to the ward. Now that it was time for a meal, filling his stomach was the most pressing matter. But today, Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t want to eat in the hospital staff canteen. He wanted to go out for a change of food, and besides, he had a vague feeling that something was going to happen today. ¡°What should I eat?¡± Xiao Yifei wandered at the entrance of the hospital, looking at the array of restaurant names on both sides. Suffering from choice paralysis, he was somewhat troubled. He looked left and right, unable to decide which one to pick. ¡°Young man, I see your Heavenly Court is full and your Earth Base is square. A golden aura shoots straight from the crown of your head to the sky. This truly is a sign of an extraordinary destiny! Young man, I am certain that your life will be thunderous and magnificent. You¡¯re surely not a common person. Wealth and prestige are trifles for you; turning into an immortal is your future!¡± As Xiao Yifei struggled with what to eat, he suddenly realized someone was tugging at his clothes. Turning around, he saw an old beggar with filthy hair and ragged clothes, his body covered in dirt, who had grabbed him and started speaking a string of words without a pause. Xiao Yifei grinned, suddenly finding the old beggar to be quite a character. But remembering he still needed to eat and had things to do in the afternoon, he turned to leave. Yet, just as he took a step, he found himself still being held back. ¡°Young man! I see your Heavenly Court is full...¡± The old beggar held onto Xiao Yifei, beginning to speak again, the same words as before, only this time, what was different was the old beggar slowly extending his hand toward Xiao Yifei. ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°Young man! What I just told you is all true! But to succeed, you need an opportunity!¡± The old beggar suddenly emitted a mysterious aura, his voice also deepening, the sudden change truly captivated Xiao Yifei. ¡°Master, tell me, what opportunity do I need?¡± asked Xiao Yifei with some curiosity. ¡°To know the opportunity, you need to go there!¡± The old beggar suddenly stretched out his hand, pointing to a place, and Xiao Yifei seriously and earnestly shifted his gaze to where the old beggar¡¯s finger directed. ¡°Jiang¡¯s Big Plate Chicken!¡± The five glinting big characters seemed incredibly glaring to Xiao Yifei. ¡°Master, if you¡¯re hungry, just say so. There¡¯s no need to beat around the bush with me!¡± Xiao Yifei felt a dark line form on his forehead¡ªhe didn¡¯t understand how he, an intelligent man, could be so easily influenced by this old beggar. ¡°Let¡¯s go! Meeting me today is your good fortune, and as it happens, I also didn¡¯t know what to eat. I¡¯ll treat you to Big Plate Chicken!¡± Xiao Yifei shook his head and was the first to enter the doors of the Big Plate Chicken restaurant. ¡°In the future, you¡¯ll know that meeting me was your real stroke of luck!¡± The old beggar stood in place, squinting his eyes, his tone mysterious, giving off the air of a hermit from outside this world. However, in just a moment, he was seen quickly wiping his hands and hurrying after Xiao Yifei. ¡°I want the large portion!¡± ¡°Burp... Burp...¡± An hour later, the old beggar came out of the restaurant hiccupping and staggering, with Xiao Yifei following behind, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He touched his now-thin wallet and was left speechless. His internship salary was already low, yet this old beggar managed to devour three portions of Big Plate Chicken all by himself! It looked like for the next few days, he would have to make do with hospital cafeteria food. ¡°Burp... Young man, about the opportunity I mentioned, I didn¡¯t deceive you, burp... It¡¯s right here!¡± Xiao Yifei followed behind the old beggar and suddenly saw him turn around, a mysterious smile revealing his yellow teeth, as he spoke to Xiao Yifei in an oddly quiet voice. ¡°Master, I really don¡¯t have any more money! Stop pulling my leg, I won¡¯t believe it anymore! At your age, you shouldn¡¯t keep running around outside, what if something happens eh!¡± Upon seeing the old beggar¡¯s signature mysterious expression, Xiao Yifei immediately felt tense and quickly covered his wallet. ¡°Tsk! What are you afraid of! I have no interest in your money!¡± The old beggar sneakily glanced at Xiao Yifei¡¯s wallet and, lifting his head, said, ¡°I am truly going to give you your opportunity! Here, take it!¡± With that, the old beggar reached out his hand and gave Xiao Yifei something to clutch tightly. ¡°Jinling is not a common fish in a pond, once it meets the wind and the clouds, it will transform into a dragon!¡± ¡°With the sky so high and the sea so deep, wide for birds and fish, when wind and clouds gather, the opportunity arrives!¡± The old beggar suddenly started chanting a poem, leaving Xiao Yifei somewhat baffled as he lowered his head to look at the object the old beggar had given him. ¡°What¡¯s this! Tricked me again!¡± Upon looking down, Xiao Yifei saw that the old beggar had given him a plastic carving shaped like an eye, light and weightless, with only a golden light in the center of the eye! ¡°Master, what is this?¡± Xiao Yifei looked up, only to discover that the old beggar had suddenly vanished from his sight, as if he had never been there at all. ¡°What the heck!¡± Xiao Yifei was utterly confused and unsure of the situation. He brought the plastic eye carving up to his own eyes to take a closer look, and abruptly, he saw that the golden light in the center of the eye carving suddenly lit up, shooting out a beam of golden radiance straight into his eyes. In an instant, Xiao Yifei felt everything go dark before his eyes, and he fainted away. Chapter 2 - 2 2 Do Not Stare at Impoliteness ?2: Chapter 2: Do Not Stare at Impoliteness 2: Chapter 2: Do Not Stare at Impoliteness ¡°People really have changed these days!¡± Time passed, and Xiao Yifei heaved a sigh as he picked himself up from the ground. During the time he had fainted, not a single passerby had come forward to help. ¡°What on earth happened!¡± Xiao Yifei touched his head, and if it weren¡¯t for the fact his wallet was still flat, he would have doubted the existence of that old beggar from just a moment ago. Who knew the old beggar would disappear so suddenly? When Xiao Yifei came to his senses, he found that the cheap-looking mysterious carving the old beggar handed him had vanished from his hands as well. ¡°Hmm?¡± Xiao Yifei narrowed his eyes curiously, casting his gaze into the distance. He was a little shortsighted, but now he could see the distant license plate numbers very clearly. ¡°Forget it, forget it, don¡¯t think about it anymore. If the carving is lost, then it¡¯s lost. It was just a plastic thing, not valuable anyhow. I¡¯ll just get my eyes checked at the hospital,¡± Xiao Yifei pulled out his phone to check the time, realized he was close to his work hours, and thought about the task that Wang Changping had given him. Xiao Yifei felt some distress, ¡°I wonder what kind of strange disease he¡¯s devised to trouble me with this time!¡± With a somewhat helpless sigh, he hurried toward the hospital. ¡°Doctor Xiao! You¡¯re here! Come with me quickly, Director Wang told me about it; the patient in Room 302 had another episode today! Please come and have a look!¡± No sooner had Xiao Yifei stepped into the inpatient department and reached the third floor than Head Nurse Wu Lan, with an exaggerated smile on her face and twisting her slim waist, approached Xiao Yifei, wanting to take him to Room 302. Xiao Yifei nodded and walked ahead. Wu Lan, however, slowed her pace and followed behind Xiao Yifei, her smile suddenly vanishing as she cast a cold glance at him. Ever since Xiao Yifei had discovered her sordid affair with Wang Changping, she had been plagued by a sense of crisis. Although Xiao Yifei, clever as he was, never told anyone about her and Wang Changping¡¯s matters, Wu Lan felt that as long as Xiao Yifei was at this hospital, her heart would never be at peace! ¡°Room 302, this is it!¡± Xiao Yifei looked up at the number next to the door, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open to enter. In the hospital bed of Room 302 lay a delicate figure, a girl around seventeen or eighteen years of age, her pretty face pale with illness. Her weak body curled up on the bed, her large eyes betraying pain. ¡°Director Wang! You¡¯re here!¡± Behind Xiao Yifei, Wu Lan¡¯s voice suddenly rang out. Unlike her feigned tone when speaking to Xiao Yifei, the way Wu Lan called out to Wang Changping was so coquettish it made one¡¯s skin crawl! Wang Changping squinted his sleazy little eyes and gave Wu Lan a smile, his obese figure squeezing through the door. ¡°Xiao Xiao! It seems you¡¯re not taking a serious attitude toward the patients! Nurse Head Wu and I have been waiting for you here in the inpatient department for a while now, and you just arrived! I¡¯m going to have to criticize you for that!¡± Wang Changping held his hands behind his back, his body of fat wobbling as he lectured Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei opened his mouth but said nothing. Wang Changping slowly moved to the bedside, perfunctorily examining the girl on the bed and making polite inquiries about the little girl¡¯s condition. The girl¡¯s mother sat at the head of the bed, her eyes coldly watching Wang Changping. Ever since her daughter had come to Shangjing Hospital, she had only undergone one examination and one treatment. Following that singular treatment, her daughter had been neglected in the ward with no qualified doctor coming to visit. If she hadn¡¯t pulled some strings, there probably wouldn¡¯t even be someone to check on them today. ¡°Xiao Yi, today¡¯s opportunity was hard for me to secure for you. It is said that Vice President Nangong is coming down to review our work, and he will be visiting ward 302. Perform well and becoming a regular employee won¡¯t be just a dream!¡± Wang Changping pulled Xiao Yifei aside and whispered to him, ¡°I¡¯ve looked at this girl, and she¡¯s easy to diagnose! I¡¯m not asking you to cure her, just determine the cause of her illness. Make a good impression in front of Vice President Nangong, and I guarantee you¡¯ll have no problems!¡± Xiao Yifei looked at Wang Changping¡¯s hypocritical fat face and felt a surge of disgust. ¡°If this girl were easy to treat, would you have passed her to me? I bet you can¡¯t even make a basic diagnosis!¡± However, Xiao Yifei definitely wouldn¡¯t say these words out loud. Now wasn¡¯t the time to burn bridges. He shook his head gently and stepped forward to take a preliminary look. As Xiao Yifei concentrated and squinted at the fragile girl on the bed, suddenly, he felt a flash of light in his eyes and a cool stream of Qi flow from his brain toward his eyes. Then, he discovered that the layers covering the girl¡¯s body on the bed were disappearing one by one. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Xiao Yifei suppressed the astonishment in his heart and focused once more to find out the truth. In Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes, the blanket covering the girl gradually disappeared, revealing her body clothed in a hospital gown. ¡°No way!¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s face reddened, and he swallowed nervously, his gaze continuing to shift. ¡°Damn!¡± The sudden sight of the smooth and fair naked body of the girl caught Xiao Yifei off guard. He exclaimed, quickly averting his gaze. ¡°Don¡¯t look without permission, don¡¯t look without permission!¡± Xiao Yifei muttered to himself as he retreated. For Xiao Yi, this was his first glimpse of a girl¡¯s bare body, and his mind couldn¡¯t help but recall the scene: ¡°The slightly raised twin peaks, the firm and round buttocks, and that...¡± ¡°Who would have thought this girl, looking so sick, would actually have such a figure!¡± Xiao Yifei kept telling himself not to think about it, but the thoughts uncontrollably sprang to his mind. And Xiao Yifei¡¯s peculiar behavior brought a disdainful sneer to Wang Changping¡¯s face, who stood behind him, ¡°With that helpless look, just wait to pack up and leave!¡± Xiao Yifei reached out to touch his nose, almost unable to hold back, and almost had a nosebleed. ¡°Could I have x-ray vision?¡± A shock ran through Xiao Yifei¡¯s mind, and he focused his attention back on the girl in the bed. When Xiao Yifei focused his gaze once again on the girl, the material covering her body vanished in tune with the intensity of his concentration, revealing the girl¡¯s pure and flawless body to Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes once more. Xiao Yifei inwardly took a deep breath, delighted, ¡°It seems I really do have x-ray capability, but if it can penetrate clothing, I wonder if it can see through her body!¡± With that thought, he continued his observation. His eyes narrowed, and a cool stream of Qi passed through his brain. Not the beautiful body but the interior of the girl¡¯s body came into view. In Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes, nothing about the girl¡¯s internal state could escape his gaze. He meticulously observed her internal condition. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and his eyebrows furrowed. Seeing Xiao Yifei standing motionless in front of the girl¡¯s bed, a sullen smile crept across Wang Changping¡¯s lips. ¡°We¡¯ve used the best equipment in the entire city and still couldn¡¯t pinpoint the cause of her illness. I¡¯m curious to see how you¡¯re going to determine this girl¡¯s diagnosis,¡± Wang Changping said, turning his head to look at the head nurse Wu Lan. They exchanged a glance and smiled, revealing a triumphant conspiracy. ¡°Her illness originates in her lungs!¡± Xiao Yifei pondered for a moment before suddenly speaking. At those words, Wang Changping was taken aback, his face showing surprise. He was about to speak when he was interrupted by a cold voice. ¡°Words alone are no proof, what¡¯s your evidence?¡± Chapter 3 - 3 3 Resisting the Opinions of Many ?3: Chapter 3 Resisting the Opinions of Many 3: Chapter 3 Resisting the Opinions of Many The speaker was a woman in her thirties who had just pushed the door open. Her face was as cold as frost, her figure was hot, with her chest high and bulging out. She wore a pair of black-framed glasses on her smooth, pale face, which partially concealed her haughty gaze, but the arrogant and chilly demeanor she exuded was impossible to hide completely. She was Nangong Yun, also known as Deputy Director Nangong, whom Wang Changping had mentioned. Wang Changping¡¯s expression changed instantly, and he immediately assumed a fawning smile, his pudgy face squinting his eyes into slits as he bowed and scraped before Nangong Yun, saying, ¡°Deputy Director Nangong, when did you arrive? Such a trivial matter and yet you personally came over, it¡¯s really making a mountain out of a molehill!¡± Nangong Yun gave Wang Changping a cold glance, her tone devoid of emotion as she said, ¡°How else would I get here if I didn¡¯t walk over? Did you expect someone to push me here?¡± Wang Changping was so taken aback by Nangong Yun¡¯s remark that he was left speechless, only able to plaster a sycophantic smile on his face. However, Wang Changping quickly recovered from his embarrassment and, in a hurry to save face, he pulled Xiao Yifei to his side and said, ¡°This is Deputy Director Nangong. Xiao, haven¡¯t you always admired Deputy Director Nangong? Now you¡¯ve met her in person! How about it! Isn¡¯t she beautiful?¡± Nangong Yun glanced at Xiao Yifei upon hearing Wang Changping¡¯s words, said nothing, and walked over to the hospital bed. Xiao Yifei watched Nangong Yun in astonishment. Although he didn¡¯t admire her as much as Wang Changping had suggested, he was well aware of the renowned Deputy Director Nangong of Shangjing Hospital. Not only was Nangong Yun young and stunning, but her medical skill was also exceptionally proficient. To Xiao Yifei, Nangong Yun seemed excessively young and strikingly beautiful. ¡°So, tell me, how did you make your diagnosis? On what basis do you claim that the patient¡¯s illness originates from her lungs?¡± Nangong Yun approached the hospital bed, nodded in greeting to the girl¡¯s mother, and reached out to touch the girl¡¯s forehead. ¡°Weakness, pallor, accompanied by severe coughing, my preliminary conclusion was due to a lung-related cause.¡± ¡°Oh? Just based on those few simple symptoms you¡¯ve determined that the pathology is in the lungs? You do realize that even a common cold could cause coughing, right?¡± Nangong Yun turned back around, her beautiful face displaying a sly smile. Xiao Yifei opened his mouth, unsure of how to explain. He couldn¡¯t possibly say that he had seen the cause through X-ray vision, because if he did, he wouldn¡¯t be surprised to be taken away as a lunatic. Nangong Yun shook her head, walking past Xiao Yifei, and approached Wang Changping: ¡°What tests has the patient undergone?¡± Wang Changping, looking somewhat nervous, carefully wiped the sweat from his brow and cautiously responded: ¡°The patient underwent a comprehensive examination when she was first admitted, but no definitive cause was found.¡± ¡°And where¡¯s the report?¡± Nangong Yun raised an eyebrow. ¡°Bring it to me to have a look.¡± Wang Changping scurried off, bringing back the medical reports and respectfully handing them to Nangong Yun, saying, ¡°Deputy Director Nangong, all the examination reports are here, please take a look.¡± Nangong Yun took the reports, scrutinizing them carefully, and when she reached the last page, her brows furrowed sharply: ¡°Everything¡¯s normal?¡± Wang Changping bent over, his face wearing an ingratiating smile as he replied: ¡°Our final conclusion from the tests is that everything is normal, and the girl¡¯s current weakness, I surmise, is caused by malnutrition.¡± ¡°This condition results from malnutrition?¡± Nangong Yun frowned her pretty brows, her sharp gaze sweeping over the obsequious Wang Changping, then looked back at the girl on the bed with a puzzled look, ¡°Then how do you plan to treat her?¡± ¡°Once we confirmed the diagnosis, we have been giving the patient injections of glucose to boost her nutrition,¡± Wang Changping said with a smile. ¡°Oh? And has that been effective?¡± Nangong Yun questioned as she looked at the weak girl lying on the bed. ¡°Currently... no,¡± Wang Changping paused, lowering his head, his eyes flickering. ¡°Well then, continue with your treatment method for the time being. If there¡¯s still no effect after a few days, come and find me,¡± Nangong Yun said, after studying the situation and finding nothing unusual, then prepared to move on to the next ward. ¡°Okay, okay,¡± Wang Changping heaved a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly in response. In fact, Wang Changping clearly knew the girl¡¯s illness was not due to malnutrition, but because he couldn¡¯t ascertain the cause of the disease, coupled with his low level of concern for the patient, he feared Nangong Yun would see through him, so he had been very nervous. Hearing that Nangong Yun was preparing to leave, Wang Changping couldn¡¯t help but relax. Having bluffed his way through this time, and considering that Xiao Yifei had no role in this diagnosis, he found the perfect excuse to kick Xiao Yifei out of the hospital. With this thought, Wang Changping lifted his eyes and looked at Xiao Yifei with satisfaction, only to suddenly realize that Xiao Yifei had run over to Nangong Yun¡¯s side from his original position. ¡°What does he want to do?¡± Wang Changping suddenly felt something was amiss. ¡°Deputy Director Nangong! The patient¡¯s illness isn¡¯t due to malnutrition at all. Symptoms of malnutrition should include stunted growth, emaciation, loss of subcutaneous fat, and hair loss¡ªbut the patient doesn¡¯t have any of these symptoms. Moreover, she has severe coughing, so the cause can¡¯t be malnutrition!¡± Xiao Yifei swiftly stepped in front of Nangong Yun, who was about to leave, and blurted out. Nangong Yun, looking at Xiao Yifei, asked coldly, ¡°You were speaking earlier. I didn¡¯t ask you then, who are you?¡± ¡°My name is Xiao Yifei, currently a doctor under Director Wang,¡± Xiao Yifei straightened up, ¡°I urge Deputy Director Nangong to take the patient¡¯s condition seriously, and not to make hasty judgments!¡± Nangong Yun frowned, ¡°Xiao Yifei? Why haven¡¯t I heard your name before?¡± Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Xiao Yifei scratched his head and said softly, ¡°I¡¯m still an intern at this time.¡± ¡°Dammit, this kid is causing me trouble, truly a burden. I need to get him out of the hospital quickly!¡± Watching the scene unfold, Wang Changping muttered under his breath. However, he walked up quickly, and by the time he reached Nangong Yun, Wang Changping¡¯s face had changed to a fawning smile, ¡°Deputy Director Nangong, this kid has just started interning in my department, he doesn¡¯t know anything. Please be lenient, don¡¯t hold it against him!¡± Immediately after, Wang Changping turned his head, rebuked Xiao Yifei sharply, ¡°Xiao Xiao! The lab report is right there! Deputy Director Nangong has seen it too, what nonsense are you spouting! I¡¯ve reminded you several times! Don¡¯t be so ignorant! Why don¡¯t you listen! Do you still want to work here or not! If not, pack your things and get out right now!¡± Xiao Yifei looked at the hypocritical Wang Changping, a wave of disgust in his heart, ¡°Director Wang, you think it¡¯s malnutrition, but the cause isn¡¯t necessarily malnutrition!¡± Wang Changping¡¯s icy gaze flickered, oppressively looking at Xiao Yifei, but he realized that Xiao Yifei was not affected by him at all, still standing his ground, which caused Wang Changping to laugh out of sheer fury, ¡°Heh, not bad Xiao Yi, you seem to be tough now! Daring to oppose me outright! Who gave you the confidence to be so arrogant? Now, in front of me and Director Nangong, admit your mistake, and I might forgive you!¡± Nangong Yun stood by with her arms crossed, watching the two intensely. Xiao Yifei recalled the scene he had witnessed inside the patient¡¯s body, which reinforced his conviction. Wang Changping suddenly became as furious as thunder, raising his voice an octave, ¡°Xiao Yi! I¡¯m not saying more for your sake! I¡¯m telling you! The lab report is right there! Go and look at it! Don¡¯t pretend to know what you don¡¯t! Our hospital doesn¡¯t need doctors who don¡¯t follow orders! Pack your things and go home right now!¡± Just then, Nangong Yun suddenly interjected, ¡°That¡¯s enough, Xiao Yi Yifei, is it? Then tell me, if the patient¡¯s illness isn¡¯t due to malnutrition, what caused it?¡± ¡°Deputy Director Nangong! Don¡¯t bother with this kid! He¡¯s ungrateful...¡± Wang Changping had just begun to speak when Nangong Yun cut him off with a wave of her hand, gesturing for Xiao Yifei to speak. ¡°The lungs¡ªit¡¯s an issue with the patient¡¯s lungs!¡± Xiao Yifei said, narrowing his eyes. ¡°Are you sure?¡± Nangong Yun asked. ¡°I¡¯m sure!¡± Chapter 4 - 4 4 What is this ?4: Chapter 4 What is this? 4: Chapter 4 What is this? Nangong Yun shifted her gaze to Wang Changping, who sprang up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and shrieked, ¡°Impossible! If the cause of the disease is really as said, I may as well take his surname!¡± However, Xiao Yifei remained calm, which made Nangong Yun regard him more highly. A doctor¡¯s medical skill is one aspect, but temperament is also extremely important, and Xiao Yifei¡¯s composed demeanor was exactly what was needed in a good doctor. ¡°Enough, let¡¯s not talk anymore!¡± Nangong Yun waved her hand, ¡°Xiao Yifei, since you are so sure that the patient¡¯s issue is with the lungs, then you will take full responsibility for this patient. We doctors are all for the patient¡¯s benefit. How long will you need to make a diagnosis?¡± ¡°I can do it now,¡± Xiao Yifei said, with a faint smile on his face. ¡°What?!¡± Wang Changping exclaimed in shock, ¡°Xiao Yi! It¡¯s not just arrogance now¡ªit¡¯s stupidity! Are you out of your mind? How can you talk nonsense! Listen, if you can¡¯t explain yourself clearly right now, you¡¯d better get out of here immediately!¡± He stood with his hands on his hips, eyes blazing as if he were about to devour Xiao Yifei alive. Nangong Yun, too, was taken aback and showed a puzzled expression on her cool face, glancing at Xiao Yifei, ¡°Are you that confident?¡± Xiao Yifei looked at Nangong Yun¡¯s aloof face and nodded gently. ¡°Alright then, let me be enlightened today. I¡¯m not leaving; I will stay here with you to see exactly how you can diagnose the cause,¡± Nangong Yun said with her arms crossed and moving aside to clear the way to the girl¡¯s hospital bed, her professional attire accentuating her figure. Xiao Yifei squinted and approached the girl¡¯s bedside gently, his face turning slightly red, as he had just seen the girl¡¯s unclothed body. ¡°We need to take a new set of X-ray images now, is that okay?¡± Without saying a word, the girl¡¯s mother helped her up and slowly started heading out of the hospital room. ¡°Auntie, please walk this way. This way is our radiology department.¡± Xiao Yifei quickly followed, guiding the girl and her mother. ¡°Hmph,¡± Wang Changping let out a cold snort. He had already taken X-rays of the girl when she was first hospitalized and had examined them over and over, finding nothing wrong. Let¡¯s see how you figure out anything now! Better you get lost sooner rather than irritate me! Wang Changping thought fiercely, eager to see Xiao Yifei fail. Nangong Yun followed with a frown. In the radiology department, Xiao Yifei quietly waited for the results of the X-rays, with Wang Changping standing maliciously behind him. ¡°Director, Xiao Yi was quite obedient when he first joined the hospital. It didn¡¯t seem like much then, but now, why is he so insubordinate? According to our hospital¡¯s rules, should we not fire him?¡± Wang Changping, hands on his substantial belly, said to Nangong Yun, while the head nurse, Wu Lan, who had joined them at some point, added, ¡°Exactly, Xiao Yi is a bit too clueless. I think it¡¯s better if he leaves our hospital sooner rather than later to avoid tarnishing our reputation.¡± Nangong Yun turned and gave the two of them a peculiar look, ¡°What¡¯s the matter with you two? Why are you so petty about an intern? Besides, the test results haven¡¯t come out yet. How can you be so sure?¡± Nangong Yun¡¯s cool words made Wang Changping somewhat embarrassed, ¡°Director! You have also seen the X-rays, haven¡¯t you? They indeed show no problems! I¡¯ve also looked at them three or four times. Xiao Yi really doesn¡¯t know his place! And he¡¯s not the brightest either!¡± Just then, a young nurse from the radiology department handed out an X-ray from inside the door, and the female patient also slowly walked out with the support of her mother. It was evident that the girl¡¯s body was very weak. ¡°Okay, thank you!¡± Xiao Yifei smiled as he took the X-ray. It was a set of chest X-rays, with neatly arranged ribs that were very conspicuous at both ends of the film. Seeing that the X-ray was out, Wang Changping hurriedly dragged his obese body over, stretching his thick neck trying to see what was different about the X-ray in Xiao Yifei¡¯s hands, but Xiao Yifei completely ignored him and walked straight forward with the X-ray in hand. This action made Wang Changping feel even more embarrassed, and his resentment towards Xiao Yifei rose to another level. Xiao Yifei frowned as he placed the X-ray on the viewing light, crossed his arms, and stared thoughtfully at the clear image, pondering the situation. This time Wang Changping figured it out; he didn¡¯t talk much, just quietly tiptoed to the side of the viewing light and sneakily started looking. ¡°Hmph...hmph!¡± Wang Changping watched the viewing light intently for a moment, then turned his head to glance at Xiao Yifei, who was deep in thought, and couldn¡¯t stop coldly chuckling. In his opinion, there was nothing unusual about the X-ray on the viewing light. ¡°Director, come and take a look as well!¡± Wang Changping said with a schadenfreude tone, wanting Nangong Yun to see the result too. Upon hearing this, Nangong Yun saw the result on the viewing light, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and her stunning face showed a complex expression. She wanted to believe in this young man who exuded confidence, but the result forced her to accept the reality. ¡°I said everything was normal, didn¡¯t I? Yet you stubbornly argue with me! Xiao Yi, you are still too young.¡± Wang Changping said triumphantly, ¡°You, at such a young age, show no respect for your elders. Tell me, how should our hospital accept you?¡± Seeing Xiao Yifei staring intently at the viewing light as if he couldn¡¯t believe the result, Wang Changping grew even more smug, his entire body of fat trembling, his nostrils almost reaching up to the sky. ¡°Is it really all normal?¡± Staring at the viewing light, Xiao Yifei suddenly turned around, his handsome face revealing a mysterious smile. Wang Changping¡¯s mocking words choked before they could be spoken. ¡°The X-ray is right here! Who else do you want to scare? This is the evidence that everything is normal!¡± Wang Changping said in a loud, red-faced voice, ¡°I¡¯ve already told you! It¡¯s all normal! If you keep saying the patient has an issue because of something in the lungs, I¡¯ll take your surname!¡± Xiao Yifei smiled and shook his head. His extraordinarily keen vision and perceptive ability had already allowed him to spot something earlier. He slowly walked out of the radiology department, temporarily leaving. ¡°Could there be another twist?¡± Nangong Yun gasped in shock, her beautiful eyes fixated on Xiao Yifei until he had left the radiology department. ¡°I want to see what tricks you can pull!¡± Wang Changping snorted coldly, his gaze coldly watching the main entrance. Shortly afterwards, Xiao Yifei returned, holding a magnifying glass in his hand. Under Wang Changping and Nangong Yun¡¯s astonished gazes, Xiao Yifei approached the viewing light with a smile, placed the magnifying glass over the X-ray on the viewing light, and at the lung area of the chest X-ray, faint shadows and specks suddenly appeared. ¡°What... what is this!¡± Chapter 5 - 5 5 Identifying the Cause of Disease ?5: Chapter 5 Identifying the Cause of Disease 5: Chapter 5 Identifying the Cause of Disease ¡°What is this?¡± Nangong Yun, upon seeing these subtle shadows, hurried over and asked with confusion. The black shadows were so faint that even with the aid of a magnifying glass, one could only see a faint trace. However, the reality was that there indeed existed shadows on the X-ray. Initially, Wang Changping too was astonished, his eyes widened. But after a moment, he turned his head away dismissively and said, ¡°What shadows? They¡¯re nothing but deposits on the X-ray film. Do we really need to make a fuss over this?¡± When Xiao Yifei heard Wang Changping¡¯s words, he chuckled lightly and said, ¡°As a doctor, one should maintain a rigorous attitude, shouldn¡¯t they?¡± Wang Changping, hearing the sarcasm in Xiao Yifei¡¯s words, glared at him furiously and retorted, ¡°Then tell me! What are these shadows? They¡¯re so fine, they can¡¯t possibly be anything else! Kid, I¡¯m warning you, a doctor should be meticulous, yes, but you should also respect your elders¡¯ judgement! You greenhorn, you¡¯ve only graduated a year ago! I¡¯ve been a doctor for ten years!¡± Xiao Yifei just smiled faintly, turned to Nangong Yun, and said, ¡°Director Nangong, may I see the examination report that Director Wang just gave you?¡± Nangong Yun passed the examination report in her hand to Xiao Yifei with some bewilderment and then asked, ¡°What do you think these shadows are?¡± Xiao Yifei gestured for Nangong Yun not to worry yet. He opened the examination report in his hand and after carefully reading through it, he took a deep breath, pointed to a spot on the X-ray, and said to the nurse, ¡°Take the patient for a radioactive nucleotide test, increase the concentration, and focus on scanning here!¡± Hearing Xiao Yifei¡¯s words, Nangong Yun¡¯s brow furrowed sharply. With a tone of uncertainty, she said, ¡°Xiao Yifei, do you suspect that this patient¡¯s condition is... cancer?¡± Xiao Yifei nodded slightly, looked up at the cold and stunning Nangong Yun, and said, ¡°I can¡¯t rule out that possibility, but until the test results come back, nothing is certain.¡± When Wang Changping heard Xiao Yifei¡¯s assessment, he burst into exaggerated laughter. His piercing laugh was grating, ¡°Hahaha, are you kidding me? You¡¯re telling me you suspect cancer from these shadows on an X-ray? Xiao Yi ah Xiao Yi, how adorable are you? Do you think I don¡¯t know the symptoms of lung cancer?¡± Xiao Yifei glanced at Wang Changping indifferently, ¡°You¡¯ll know the result shortly.¡± ¡°Hmph.¡± Wang Changping stopped laughing, snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and posed as if he were merely an onlooker. At this moment, Nangong Yun¡¯s elegant and proud face showed a look of surprise, her curious eyes peering over her gold-rimmed glasses at Xiao Yifei. As the three waited, the nurse hurried back with the examination report. ¡°Give it to me!¡± Wang Changping commanded imperiously, extending his hand towards the nurse, wanting to see the results first. The nurse hesitated, unsure of what to do, but Xiao Yifei stepped forward and took the examination report from her hand. Xiao Yifei held the examination report with a grave expression and didn¡¯t look up. Wang Changping felt a jolt of alarm when he saw Xiao Yifei initially pick up the report, but when Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t react immediately, Wang Changping felt reassured. ¡°Xiao Yi, you should know...¡± Wang Changping, with hands on hips and an arrogant tilt to his head, began to address Xiao Yifei. ¡°Luckily, it¡¯s still early-stage. The condition can still be controlled and treated.¡± Finally, Xiao Yifei murmured softly to himself. Wang Changping was instantly stunned by Xiao Yifei¡¯s sudden words; his face still bore a triumphant expression, but disbelief flashed through his eyes. ¡°What did you say!¡± Wang Changping cried out in shock, ¡°How is that possible! I¡¯m telling you, Xiao Yifei, don¡¯t think you can fool me!¡± Wang Changping leapt up and rushed over, snatching the examination report from Xiao Yifei¡¯s hands, his hands trembling as he read through it until his eyes landed on the final entry ¡°Confirmed tumor, early-stage.¡± ¡°How can this be!¡± Wang Changping was already filled with regret in his heart. He had never doubted that his patient could have lung cancer, but since he couldn¡¯t confirm the cause of the illness himself, he had intended to use this difficult case as an excuse to kick Xiao Yifei out. The result was an unexpectedly huge loss of face in front of the dean! If he had known it would turn out like this, he would not have treated Xiao Yifei like that! With a gloomy face, the bitterness surged up in Wang Changping¡¯s heart. ¡°However, why does Xiao Yifei have such superb medical skills? How come I never noticed before!¡± Wang Changping¡¯s heart began to feel imbalanced again, ¡°This must be his good luck! Just don¡¯t let me catch him slipping up; next time, next time I will definitely kick him out of this hospital!¡± Wang Changping thought viciously to himself, his eyes coldly watching Xiao Yifei. Seeing such a result, Nangong Yun also had some disbelief in her heart. She slowly walked over, took the examination report from Wang Changping¡¯s hand, and carefully examined it. After reading the examination report, Nangong Yun lifted her eyes, surprised as she looked toward Xiao Yifei. She hadn¡¯t expected that Xiao Yifei could actually make an accurate diagnosis and that this difficult-to-detect illness had been correctly identified by Xiao Yifei on his first try. Xiao Yifei¡¯s performance had also greatly surprised Nangong Yun. ¡°How did you do it?¡± Nangong Yun¡¯s clear voice rang out, ¡°How could you tell from the start that the patient¡¯s illness was in the lungs? Don¡¯t tell me it was seen with the eyes, that¡¯s simply not possible!¡± Xiao Yifei touched his nose with a somewhat awkward gesture. He couldn¡¯t just say he had clairvoyance and truly saw it with his eyes, right? So, Xiao Yifei had no choice but to say, ¡°My grandfather was a Chinese medicine practitioner. I learned some ancient Chinese medical skills from him, which helped me.¡± But Xiao Yifei wasn¡¯t lying either; his grandfather was indeed a highly reputed practitioner of Chinese medicine, and that was why he had gone to medical school, hoping to become a doctor himself. Nangong Yun nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, Chinese medicine had many miraculous aspects that were beyond the reach of Western medicine. ¡°Alright, since we¡¯ve established the diagnosis, we can start treatment now. Fortunately, Xiao Yifei found it in time and didn¡¯t delay the illness, so the treatment should also be relatively straightforward.¡± Nangong Yun gently placed her hand on the graceful neck of her sleeve, pointed her chin, and said. At this moment, Wang Changping was filled with shame and disbelief, as well as hatred for Xiao Yifei who made him lose face in front of the dean. His eyes glared at Xiao Yifei venomously, ¡°This isn¡¯t over!¡± ¡°Oh, right, Xiao Yifei, you are still an intern, right? From today, you can become regular staff.¡± Nangong Yun turned her head and lightly dropped this statement. Xiao Yifei was momentarily stunned, a faint smile appearing on his face. ¡°Thank you, Dean Nangong!¡± ¡°Dean! How can you decide so simply to make Xiao Yifei a regular staff member? That¡¯s against regulations!¡± Upon hearing Nangong Yun¡¯s decision, Wang Changping¡¯s face suddenly showed a look of shock. If Xiao Yifei¡¯s position was confirmed, it would be more difficult for Wang Changping to set small traps for him and even harder to kick him out of the hospital. It would mean the dirty business between him and the head nurse might become a handle that Xiao Yifei could use against him! ¡°I must not let him get his way!¡± Wang Changping gritted his teeth, wanting to block Nangong Yun¡¯s decision. ¡°What? Are you the dean or am I the dean? Do I not even have this authority? Why wouldn¡¯t we keep such a skilled doctor quickly? Director Wang, I need to criticize you on this point.¡± Nangong Yun glanced at Wang Changping lightly, her tone indifferent. Nangong Yun¡¯s ice-cold phrase left Wang Changping deflated; he opened his mouth but eventually could only hang his head dejectedly, ¡°I¡¯ll follow Dean Nangong¡¯s arrangements.¡± Although Wang Changping said this, his enmity towards Xiao Yifei grew even thicker. ¡°Hmm...¡± Nangong Yun nodded, ¡°Right, Director Wang, since Xiao Yifei has handled this matter well, you shouldn¡¯t be biased against him. From now on, he is also a regular doctor; you should cooperate well. I have other matters to attend to and must leave now; this patient is in your care!¡± Nangong Yun then turned her head towards the sick girl, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your illness has been diagnosed. It¡¯s in the early stage and can easily be treated. Rest assured.¡± After speaking, Nangong Yun smiled at the girl¡¯s mother and started to leave. Suddenly, Nangong Yun remembered something and said to Xiao Yifei, ¡°Come to my office after you finish up here.¡± ¡°Yes, Dean,¡± Xiao Yifei watched Nangong Yun leave the room, cleared his throat, and said to a cowering Wang Changping, ¡°Director Wang, or should I say Doctor Wang? What should I call you now?¡± ¡°Hmph! This patient is yours now! If you don¡¯t handle it well, see how I will deal with you!¡± Wang Changping shouted at Xiao Yifei with a lack of energy, and then slunk away from the ward. Chapter 6 - 6 6 Conversation with the Dean ?6: Chapter 6 Conversation with the Dean 6: Chapter 6 Conversation with the Dean ¡°Hehe¡± Seeing Wang Changping leaving in low spirits, Xiao Yifei chuckled. During his internship, Wang Changping had given him a hard time, but now he could finally breathe easy. Most importantly, ¡°I¡¯ve finally become a formal doctor!¡± Xiao Yifei clenched his fist tightly. These several months at the hospital had not been in vain! ¡°Xiao, I really can¡¯t thank you enough! You saved Yingying¡¯s life! You¡¯re Yingying¡¯s lifesaver, and mine as well! We¡¯re so grateful to you!¡± At that moment, the sick girl¡¯s mother, holding her daughter¡¯s hand, slowly walked towards Xiao Yifei, speaking as they approached, her plump body trembling slightly, showing her extreme excitement. The sick girl also looked up at Xiao Yifei with wide eyes: ¡°Thank you, Brother Xiao!¡± Xiao Yifei was slightly taken aback. Only then did he realize, not only was the girl really beautiful, but her mother was also such an enchanting and attractive lady. ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay. I¡¯m just doing my job!¡± Xiao Yifei said, waving his hand, but he hadn¡¯t expected the girl¡¯s mother, in her excitement, to directly grab his hands. Xiao Yifei discreetly pulled his hands away from her soft, boneless grip, his face turning red, ¡°Sister, don¡¯t worry, your daughter¡¯s illness, although cancer sounds scary, it¡¯s still in the early stages and very treatable.¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for Doctor Xiao to diagnose the cause, this disease could have been fatal if delayed! You¡¯re our lifesaver!¡± said the beautiful mother earnestly to Xiao Yifei. ¡°Doctor Xiao, I¡¯m Yu Jing, this is my daughter, Yu Yingying. Yingying¡¯s illness may still need your attention in the future. I hope we can trouble you for this.¡± As she spoke, Yu Jing took out a gift card from her purse and handed it to Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei, seeing Yu Jing¡¯s action, was initially stunned, then he smiled and pushed the card back, ¡°Sister, what are you doing? I¡¯m a doctor, it¡¯s my duty to cure Yu Yingying. Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Yu Jing looked up at Xiao Yifei, and he confidently met her gaze. A moment later, a flash of admiration passed through Yu Jing¡¯s eyes and she smiled, ¡°I was too forward. I¡¯ll take the gift card back; otherwise, you might think less of me. But please do take my business card. If there¡¯s anything you need, feel free to call me. I might not be able to handle big issues, but I can definitely manage small ones, and that¡¯s not too much to ask, right?¡± Xiao Yifei laughed as he took Yu Jing¡¯s business card, which was made of special, comfortable paper. The card was elegantly simple, with just Yu Jing¡¯s name and phone number engraved in hollowed-out patterns, conveying understated luxury. After advising Yu Yingying to rest more in anticipation of her treatment, Xiao Yifei recalled what Nangong Yun had said. Then he boarded the elevator, ready to go find Nangong Yun. Xiao Yifei arrived at the entrance of Nangong Yun¡¯s office, knocked for a long time without response, and then pushed the door open. The vice president¡¯s office was unlike an ordinary doctor¡¯s office, larger and more elegantly decorated, with a faint scent of sandalwood lingering in Nangong Yun¡¯s office. ¡°Dean Nangong, Dean Nangong¡± Xiao Yifei softly called out as he stepped forward. Finally, he saw Nangong Yun inside the main hall, lying exhausted on the large desk, her hair spread out like a waterfall, creating a stunningly serene and beautiful scene. Xiao Yifei, not wanting to disrupt this beautiful scene, stood silently waiting beside her. After what seemed like a long time, Nangong Yun finally woke up. She stretched languidly, her striking figure fully accentuated, her exquisite face still slightly bewildered. However, upon noticing an unexpected presence in her office, Nangong Yun¡¯s gaze suddenly turned sharp and cold as she looked towards Xiao Yifei, once again presenting a proud, aloof demeanor. However, Nangong Yun understood instantly what was going on. She gathered her long hair behind her with a hand and spoke indifferently, ¡°When did you arrive?¡± Xiao Yifei scratched his head, ¡°Not long ago. I had just knocked on the door and got no response, so I came in. I saw you were resting and didn¡¯t want to disturb you.¡± Nangong Yun lifted her head, somewhat surprised by Xiao Yifei, then lowered her gaze back to the files on her desk and said, ¡°I wanted to see you for three reasons. Firstly, now that you are officially on board, you need to be prepared as a full-fledged doctor and perform your duties well.¡± Standing in front of Nangong Yun, Xiao Yifei, looking down through his significantly enhanced vision from the Transformation, caught a glimpse of soft, pale skin beneath the collar of Nangong Yun¡¯s white blouse, the supple whiteness making the blouse bulge prominently. ¡°Hiss¡± Xiao Yifei drew in a sharp breath. Who knew the frosty Nangong Yun had such a figure! Pulled by surging emotions, Xiao Yifei unconsciously focused on Nangong Yun¡¯s chest, the cool sensation rising again in his eyes. In his view, Nangong Yun¡¯s white blouse gradually faded away, slowly revealing those two prominent curves right before his eyes. ¡°What are you doing!¡± Nangong Yun noticed that Xiao Yifei had been silent for a while, quickly looked up, and saw Xiao Yifei staring blankly at her chest, and furrowed her brows in anger while rebuking sharply. ¡°I... I wasn¡¯t doing anything! I saw something dirty on your shirt!¡± In his panic, Xiao Yifei could no longer focus, but managed to point quickly at a black spot on the white blouse of Nangong Yun. Nangong Yun looked down at her shirt, indeed spotted the dirt, and thought no more of it, ¡°Did you hear the second thing I just told you?¡± ¡°Ah? What was it? I didn¡¯t catch it!¡± Xiao Yifei felt awkward; his attention had been solely on Nangong Yun¡¯s striking figure. ¡°What are you thinking about! I will repeat it, listen closely,¡± Nangong Yun, irritated, pointed at Xiao Yifei and said, ¡°Tomorrow, our hospital is hosting a medical seminar. Mostly all the official doctors must attend. As a newly appointed official doctor, you need to deliver a report about your role. Make sure you do well! Don¡¯t embarrass me!¡± Xiao Yifei smiled and nodded, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Director Nangong, it¡¯s just a seminar, there shouldn¡¯t be any major issues.¡± Nangong Yun opened her mouth as if she had a hidden struggle but finally gave up and changed the subject to another matter, ¡°Also, the third thing, I can see that your relationship with Director Wang Changping is not very cordial; it seems like the Director has some issues with you. However, now that you too are an official doctor and colleagues, it would be better to be more friendly. After all, when we bow, we do not see each other¡¯s heads; some things are better left endured.¡± Hearing this, Xiao Yifei¡¯s smile faded as he replied, ¡°Director Nangong, I am the type of person who doesn¡¯t offend others unless offended. If Director Wang stops bothering me, naturally we can get along well. But if Director Wang continues to provoke me, then don¡¯t blame me for not being polite!¡± Nangong Yun heard Xiao Yifei¡¯s reply, looked at the confident Xiao Yifei, and rubbed her temples with a bit of distress, ¡°You young people nowadays are just too hot-tempered! You don¡¯t know how to step back. Oh well, you are a doctor that I personally approved; I¡¯ll take more care of you in the future.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing else left, you should go and get ready. Come early tomorrow for the work handoff, and don¡¯t forget about the seminar,¡± Nangong Yun said to Xiao Yifei, who was still standing there, then she lowered her head to look at the documents on the table. ¡°Thank you, Director Nangong,¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes twinkled, he smiled at Nangong Yun and said, ¡°Then I will be leaving now. But Director Nangong, your Qi is weak, you need to nourish it more, or else your periods could be painful.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yifei pulled open the door and left, leaving a stunned Nangong Yun, who suddenly felt her cold, detached face flush red, both embarrassed and annoyed, ¡°Can Chinese Medicine really be that miraculous? Can he really tell what¡¯s wrong with my body just by looking?¡± Chapter 7 - 7 7 The Sad Past ?7: Chapter 7 The Sad Past 7: Chapter 7 The Sad Past Exiting Nangong Yun¡¯s office, Xiao Yifei fiercely wiped his nose, ¡°Too spicy! It¡¯s just way too spicy! I¡¯m on the verge of a nosebleed!¡± In the end, Xiao Yifei couldn¡¯t resist temptation and used his perspective ability to look at Nangong Yun¡¯s body. Not only did he see Nangong Yun¡¯s super spicy figure, but he also unintentionally discovered a part of her body that was weak. Taking a moment to recover, Xiao Yifei stretched lazily. A smile finally appeared on his long somber face, and he felt unusually relaxed. Tomorrow was the official work handover, so he had no duties for the rest of today. Thus, Xiao Yifei decided to go home and get a good night¡¯s sleep. Leaving the hospital, Xiao Yifei wheeled out his bike from the hospital¡¯s parking shed¡ªa second-hand Phoenix bicycle. Mounting it, he rode spiritedly and quickly pedaled towards his rental house. Xiao Yifei¡¯s home wasn¡¯t in Shangjing, but in Shan¡¯an City of Shan Province. It had been a long time since he was home. Coming from a poor family, he had never asked his family for money since college. Even during his most downcast period, he didn¡¯t tell his family to worry about him. Xiao Yifei¡¯s dream of becoming a doctor stemmed from his once-famous Chinese medicine practitioner grandfather. Thinking of his grandfather, Xiao Yifei¡¯s face showed a complex expression. ¡°Doraemon, oh Doraemon...¡± In the cramped rental, Xiao Yifei¡¯s phone suddenly rang. Half asleep, he answered the call, and a loud voice erupted, ¡°Xiao Yifei! How have you been lately? It¡¯s been almost a year since we graduated, right? As our class president, aren¡¯t you going to organize a reunion? If you don¡¯t call, someone else will take over. Tonight at 7:30, Jinyunyan Grand Hotel, remember to come!¡± ¡°Ah? Qiangzi, what did you say?¡± Still groggy, Xiao Yifei held the phone in his hand, but Wu Qiang had already hung up. Thinking of the college reunion, an elegant silhouette crossed Xiao Yifei¡¯s mind. Thus, he sighed softly, glanced at the clock¡ªit was only 5:30¡ªso he got up and started to get ready, deciding to keep this appointment. Xiao Yifei had once studied at Shangjing Medical University, where he was one of the top students. Plus, with his handsome looks and outgoing personality, he was quite popular and even the class president. However, due to various reasons, Xiao Yifei eventually spiraled into desolation, not picking himself up again until just before graduation. He worked hard and managed to secure an internship at Shangjing Hospital. Otherwise, Xiao Yifei might not have had a job at all. The significant reason that led Xiao Yifei into despair was because of a woman. His ex-girlfriend, Sun Yun. Sun Yun was the belle of their Clinical Medicine College. Once mistaking Xiao Yifei for a rich second-generation, she cozied up to him, and they eventually got together. To outsiders, the beautiful and sexy girl paired with the tall and handsome guy seemed quite a match. Xiao Yifei thought so too, and he fell deeply into the relationship. But little did anyone know, Sun Yun was a thorough gold digger. After finding out Xiao Yifei¡¯s family didn¡¯t have money, she decisively dumped him and ran to another man, deeply wounding the Xiao Yifei of that time and causing him to languish for a long time. At 6:30 in the evening, Xiao Yifei descended his building, mounted his second-hand ¡®Flying Pigeon¡¯ bicycle, and pedaled vigorously to Jinyunyan Grand Hotel. Shangjing, as the capital, was a tapestry of blooming flowers, especially at night. The neon lights dazzled onlookers. By the time Xiao Yifei reached Jinyunyan Grand Hotel, his eyes were dazzled by the rows of luxury cars parked underneath. After agonizing for a while, Xiao Yifei finally locked his bicycle next to a telegraph pole. While he was locking up, a woman kept eyeing Xiao Yifei with a puzzled look. After arriving at Jinyunyan Grand Hotel, Xiao Yifei walked in. ¡°Sir, are you here to attend the Class of ¡¯14 Clinical Medicine reunion? Please follow me.¡± After stating his purpose, the door greeter dressed in a high-slit red cheongsam, her body¡¯s curves meticulously outlined, led Xiao Yifei to the elevator with a smile and kindly pressed the button for the sixth floor for him. When the elevator reached the Sixth Layer, Xiao Yifei saw that the entire sixth-floor hall was fully decorated. Someone had booked the entire floor for this class reunion! ¡°Xiao Yifei, you made it, haha, long time no see, you haven¡¯t changed a bit!¡± Xiao Yifei had just entered the hall when the loud voice rang out again, the same one he¡¯d heard on the phone. ¡°Qiangzi! Long time no see.¡± Xiao Yifei smiled and greeted Wu Qiang, who was walking towards him. Wu Qiang was Xiao Yifei¡¯s best buddy during their college days, but he had gone abroad after graduation and had only recently come back to the country. As a result, Xiao Yifei hadn¡¯t seen Wu Qiang in a while. ¡°Who¡¯s got such deep pockets that our class reunion could actually book the entire sixth floor of the Yanyun Hotel?!¡± As the two chatted and laughed through the lobby, Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes swept over the classmates in the hall. He noticed that after entering society, everyone seemed to have changed, no longer the innocent selves they once were. Today, due to the different social strata they occupied, they clearly formed several groups. However, for various reasons, there weren¡¯t many from Xiao Yifei¡¯s level who had fared well. Xiao Yifei dealt with his classmates¡¯ pleasantries, but he was puzzled to find his classmates looking at him with strange eyes. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Xiao Yifei was baffled and turned to Wu Qiang, hoping to get an answer from him, but to his surprise, Wu Qiang also had a look that suggested he was holding back words. Realizing Xiao Yifei¡¯s confusion, Wu Qiang finally spoke up, ¡°Aren¡¯t you curious about who organized this reunion? It¡¯s not one of our classmates but Wang Zicong from Clinical Class Two. He¡¯s the one who organized this event, claiming he¡¯s doing it for Sun Yun.¡± Hearing the names Sun Yun and Wang Zicong, the smile on Xiao Yifei¡¯s face vanished abruptly, and his brows turned coldly indifferent, exuding an aura that warned strangers to keep away. ¡°Xiao Yifei! You don¡¯t deserve to be like this for that gold-digging Sun Yun. It¡¯s been so long! Haven¡¯t you gotten over her yet?¡± Wu Qiang said to Xiao Yifei, disappointed as if scolding an unruly child. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve gotten over it. It¡¯s just not worth what I put into it at the time.¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s clenched fist relaxed, and a smile returned to his face. He had indeed moved on, but was just caught off guard by the mention of Sun Yun¡¯s name. ¡°Wow! Sun Yun looks so beautiful!¡± Suddenly, the exclamations of the classmates drew Xiao Yifei¡¯s attention to the platform ahead. Two figures appeared on the platform ahead, a man and a woman who walked down slowly, surrounded by everyone like stars circling the moon. The woman was dressed glamorously and had a bewitching appearance, holding on to the arm of the man next to her. Though, the man¡¯s appearance left something to be desired, being short and sleazy-looking. The two cozied up to each other as they slowly approached, exchanging pleasantries with the surrounding classmates. ¡°Sun Yun! Long time no see, you¡¯ve become even more beautiful!¡± ¡°Yeah, Sun Yun, it¡¯s been such a long time. It seems like you¡¯ve been doing better and better! Truly envy-inducing!¡± ¡°Sun Yun, you¡¯re really lucky. Look at how outstanding your boyfriend is! Can you talk to him about letting me join his company too?¡± Then, the elevator doors suddenly burst open, and a woman stepped out. Her eyes lit up the moment she saw Sun Yun, with an exaggerated smile, she sashayed over swiftly to Sun Yun¡¯s side. ¡°Lin Jing! You¡¯re here too!¡± Hearing these compliments filled Sun Yun with immense vanity, her gorgeous face beamed, ¡°Dumping Xiao Yifei, that poor guy, was really the right choice! Even if he was talented, could he have let me enjoy such luxury and honor in such a short time?¡± Sun Yun turned her head and beamed at Wang Zicong, who in turn stepped forward to address Lin Jing obligingly, ¡°No problem! You¡¯re Yunyun¡¯s classmate, so I will certainly help you out! Come see me tomorrow! Join my company!¡± ¡°Thanks so much! Haha, I can see you and Sun Yun are truly a match made in heaven! You¡¯re like a celestial couple that makes everyone jealous!¡± Lin Jing, having received the promise, was grinning from ear to ear and kept showering compliments on Sun Yun and Wang Zicong, filling their vanity even more. Seeing the opportunity, Sun Yun affectionately planted a kiss on Wang Zicong¡¯s face. Chapter 8 - 8 8 Sarcasm and Mockery ?8: Chapter 8: Sarcasm and Mockery 8: Chapter 8: Sarcasm and Mockery ¡°Oh hahaha! You guys are really so in love!¡± Sun Yun¡¯s actions once again caused a surge of excitement among some classmates, and there was a round of admiring exclamations, especially from Lin Jing who fawned over them like a lapdog. ¡°What the heck! It seems like everyone has changed! I really thought this was a class reunion, but now it¡¯s turned into Sun Yun and Wang Zicong¡¯s bragging show, totally lame. If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have invited you!¡± Wu Qiang looked at the sickening hypocrisy around him and his face was filled with outrage as he said to Xiao Yifei, ¡°Look at our classmates, when did they become like this! I think Wang Zicong organized this class reunion just to show off!¡± Xiao Yifei chuckled lightly, recalling the humiliations he suffered during his internship at Shangjing Hospital and how it was only today that he had become an official doctor; he shook his head, ¡°You can¡¯t blame them, after all, everyone has graduated and needs to plan for their future. If Wang Zicong wants to show off, let him.¡± Xiao Yifei and Wu Qiang discreetly made their way to the inside of the hall, their personalities destined not to align with their current classmates. So the two stood next to a table full of food, eating and talking quietly, keeping their distance from the attention-seeking Sun Yun and Wang Zicong. However, trouble found its way to them even when they weren¡¯t looking for it. While chatting with Wang Zicong, Lin Jing suddenly mentioned Xiao Yifei, ¡°Zicong, it¡¯s good that Yunyun ended up with you. If she were still with Xiao Yi, who knows how much hardship she would have had to endure! I think only you could give Yunyun happiness!¡± When Wang Zicong heard Lin Jing bring up Xiao Yifei¡¯s name, his eyes squinted abruptly. He had some friction with Xiao Yifei during their school days, and with Sun Yun in the mix, the conflict was even greater. He remembered how after Sun Yun became his girlfriend, Xiao Yifei had declared he would teach him a lesson, scaring him into staying in the dorm for a week, too afraid to go out. The main reason he helped organize this class reunion was to thoroughly humiliate Xiao Yifei, something he had almost forgotten! With this thought, Wang Zicong said with a smile, ¡°Right, since you mentioned Xiao Yifei, I haven¡¯t seen him for a long time! Did he come? After all, it¡¯s your class reunion, it would be bad if the class monitor didn¡¯t show up!¡± When Sun Yun heard Wang Zicong¡¯s words, she pretended to be annoyed and playfully hit him in the chest, saying, ¡°Why bring him up? We¡¯ve long since lost contact with that pauper, I don¡¯t even know whether he came or not. Anyway, I¡¯m now totally devoted to following you!¡± Wang Zicong chuckled and pulled Sun Yun into his embrace. ¡°He¡¯s here, he¡¯s here! I saw him just now with Wu Qiang!¡± In the crowd surrounding Wang Zicong and Sun Yun, someone called out, and everyone began to look around, finally spotting Xiao Yifei and Wu Qiang eating in a corner. Wang Zicong saw the plainly dressed Xiao Yifei, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes. With a mocking laugh, he embraced Sun Yun and walked toward the direction of Xiao Yifei and Wu Qiang. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this our class monitor Xiao Yifei! Why are you hiding back here snitching food! You didn¡¯t even come to meet and talk with your classmates!¡± Wang Zicong walked over while hugging Sun Yun, his tone saturated with scorn, and the classmates around suddenly felt that the atmosphere was off, and they all fell silent. Wu Qiang was the first to detect the mockery in Wang Zicong¡¯s tone and, in defense of Xiao Yifei, he stepped forward with speed: ¡°What do you mean ¡®our Class Monitor Xiao¡¯? He¡¯s ours, not yours. You should know you¡¯re from Clinical Class Two, and besides, this is our class reunion, not some show-off stage for you!¡± ¡°Haha, you¡¯re Wu Qiang, right? It seems Xiao Yifei was close to you in college, ending up so pitiful that he didn¡¯t even have a friend,¡± Wang Zicong said with a laugh to Wu Qiang, ¡°That¡¯s right, this is your class reunion. But without me, who knows if this reunion would have even happened? And if it did, it probably wouldn¡¯t be at Yanyun Hotel, would it? More likely some cheap food stall!¡± ¡°Damn it, don¡¯t you look down on people!¡± Wu Qiang was furious and about to charge at Wang Zicong. ¡°I¡¯m not looking down on people!¡± Wang Zicong shrugged indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m simply stating facts.¡± ¡°Enough, Wu Qiang, stop talking¡ªit¡¯s pointless,¡± Xiao Yifei pulled Wu Qiang back calmly. Pulled back by Xiao Yifei, Wu Qiang stomped his foot in frustration. ¡°Long time no see,¡± Xiao Yifei said, his gaze skipping over Wang Zicong and resting calmly on Sun Yun. Sun Yun lifted her eyes coldly, her voice devoid of emotion, ¡°Ah? Are you talking to me?¡± Having said that, even Sun Yun seemed to realize the futility of her remark. She glanced at Xiao Yifei with indifferent eyes and said, ¡°Oh, long time no see.¡± Wang Zicong appeared to enjoy Sun Yun¡¯s reaction to Xiao Yifei, a smug expression crossing his round face. He wrapped an arm around Sun Yun¡¯s waist, flaunting a defiant look at Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei, witnessing Sun Yun¡¯s response, gave a self-mocking smile. Seeing their clownish act, he gently shook his head, as the last vestige of remembrance for Sun Yun faded away in seconds, and he mocked himself for losing his composure over these two clowns. After his taunting, Wang Zicong saw Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t rise to the bait and didn¡¯t achieve his aim of humiliating him, so he schemed again. His eyes shifting, he said, ¡°Haha, I¡¯m just joking with you, Xiao Yifei. It¡¯s been so long since graduation, where do you work now? I¡¯ve started a medical equipment company, and we¡¯re short on staff. How about you come work with us? I¡¯ll pay you a high salary!¡± At the mention of money, Sun Yun¡¯s eyes lit up immediately, and she asked eagerly, ¡°Yeah, Xiao Yifei, where do you work now? We couldn¡¯t see you in the months leading up to graduation, so we don¡¯t know your situation. Anyway, Zicong¡¯s medical company is just starting, it¡¯s not a big one, it¡¯s only worth a couple of million, I guess. You could come and help him out if you want.¡± Sun Yun casually let slip that Wang Zicong¡¯s company was worth a couple of million, eliciting gasps of astonishment from the classmates. Indeed, for them, who had graduated just a year before, a couple of million was a substantial amount. Seeing the effect of her words, Sun Yun¡¯s lips curled into a smile. She lifted her chin with pride, her eyes sweeping over Xiao Yifei¡¯s cheap clothes, full of disdain. Chapter 9 - 9 9 At a Loss ?9: Chapter 9 At a Loss 9: Chapter 9 At a Loss Xiao Yifei glanced at Sun Yun and said calmly, ¡°I¡¯m working at Shangjing Hospital now.¡± ¡°Oh! Shangjing Hospital! That¡¯s a top-tier hospital! Really nice! So, how¡¯s it going with the internship at Shangjing Hospital? I heard it¡¯s particularly difficult to become a permanent doctor there. It just so happens I know some people at Shangjing Hospital, come beg me, and maybe if I¡¯m in a good mood, I¡¯ll help you out!¡± Wang Zicong said to Xiao Yifei with a tone dripping with ridicule. ¡°Oh, no need, I¡¯m already a permanent doctor.¡± Xiao Yifei cast a glance at Wang Zicong. At this moment, Lin Jing suddenly came over and began circling Xiao Yifei, her eyes filled with confusion: ¡°Was that person I saw below the hotel just now you?¡± Xiao Yifei looked up, puzzled as to why Lin Jing suddenly brought up this question, ¡°When? What happened downstairs?¡± ¡°The person by the telephone pole just now, the clothes looked just like what you¡¯re wearing.¡± The confusion in Lin Jing¡¯s eyes grew thicker, and in the depths of her gaze seemed to be a hint of contempt. ¡°The person locking up the bike by the telephone pole, that was you, right? Is the salary for a permanent doctor at Shangjing Hospital so bad? You¡¯re still riding a bicycle?¡± It turns out the person who had seen Xiao Yifei locking his bike downstairs was Lin Jing. Xiao Yifei, a bit baffled, looked up with clear conscience and said, ¡°Yeah, that was me.¡± ¡°No way? The salary for a permanent doctor at Shangjing Hospital is that bad?¡± The rest of the classmates began whispering amongst themselves. ¡°Pfft¡± Wang Zicong laughed disdainfully, waving his hand, ¡°What permanent doctor, what nonsense, you can¡¯t even lie properly? A permanent doctor? Surely even the most basic doctor¡¯s salary isn¡¯t that bad? Can¡¯t afford a decent car get a motorcycle then, right? What era are we in that you¡¯re riding a rickety bike and still dare to boast about being a doctor? What a joke. I bet you¡¯re not even working at Shangjing Hospital, are you? Alright, you don¡¯t have to put up a front, it¡¯s pointless!¡± After Wang Zicong spoke, the other classmates looked at Xiao Yifei with skeptical eyes. ¡°Exactly, although I¡¯m just an office worker now, I drive a Buick! How can he still be riding a rickety bike?¡± ¡°Can you fucking stop? Our Xiao Yifei likes to ride a bike because it¡¯s eco-friendly, is that not okay? Who are you looking down on with that attitude?¡± Wu Qiang suddenly stood in front of Xiao Yifei, furiously. ¡°Heh¡± Wang Zicong glanced at Xiao Yifei mockingly out of the corner of his eye, then walked away hugging Sun Yun. ¡°No more talking with you, you¡¯re such a drag.¡± Sun Yun also turned her head with a mocking look at Xiao Yifei. Fuming, Wu Qiang stepped forward and said to Xiao Yifei, ¡°Damn it! What right do they have! With that condescending attitude! It¡¯s infuriating!¡± Watching the backs of Wang Zicong and Sun Yun as they left, Xiao Yifei¡¯s smile was playful, ¡°Let them go, what can she do about it?¡± ¡°This bitch, seeing her with Wang Zicong like that makes one want to beat them up so badly!¡± Wu Qiang was still unable to calm his anger, ¡°This damn reunion is so pointless, I¡¯m leaving, Xiao Yifei, you should leave with me! Don¡¯t stay here and take any more crap!¡± Xiao Yifei nodded gently and also prepared to leave. Having put behind him the memories of the past, Xiao Yi¡¯s mindset had become especially good. Especially after discovering he had the power of Clairvoyance, Xiao Yifei was filled with confidence. Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, Xiao Yifei was full of confidence about his future! ¡°Let¡¯s go then!¡± Wu Qiang tugged at Xiao Yifei towards the elevator entrance, prepared to take the elevator downstairs. ¡°Call 120 quickly! Someone¡¯s fainted! Call 120 quickly!¡± Just as the two were about to leave, urgent shouts from a crowd of classmates suddenly came from behind them. ¡°What happened? Someone fainted?¡± Xiao Yifei abruptly stopped his steps, furrowing his brow. ¡°Never mind them! Bunch of snobs! Why bother with them!¡± Wu Qiang pulled Xiao Yifei, intending to leave. ¡°We should still go take a look! After all, it¡¯s one of our classmates!¡± Xiao Yifei called the reluctant Wu Qiang, and quickly walked toward the classmates who were slowly gathering together. ¡°I don¡¯t know either! I just noticed that Sun Yun¡¯s complexion didn¡¯t look good, she was pale and it was kind of scary! Just as she spoke a few words to me, before anything else happened, she fainted with her eyes rolling back! It really has nothing to do with me!¡± From a distance, Xiao Yifei could see Lin Jing with a distraught face in the center of the crowd. Xiao Yifei hastened his pace, wanting to hurry forward to see the situation, but was blocked by the classmates behind him. ¡°What¡¯s going on, what¡¯s going on!¡± Wang Zicong hurried over as he heard the commotion, his impatience clear as he pushed through the crowd and saw Sun Yun collapsed on the ground, ¡°Yunyun, what happened to you! Why are you lying on the ground!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know either! She was just lively and bouncing around, but suddenly her face went pale, and then she fainted!¡± ¡°She fainted?¡± A look of surprise flashed across Wang Zicong¡¯s face, ¡°We absolutely can¡¯t let the owner of the Smoke Cloud Hotel know about this. The fact that the Smoke Cloud Hotel¡¯s owner rented me this entire floor was already showing me great favor. I heard she currently hates nothing more than trouble. Fainting is just fainting; I hope it¡¯s nothing serious. Otherwise, how can I ask her for help in the future!¡± Wang Zicong had left earlier due to an errand, and while he was gone, Lin Jing, seizing the opportunity, came up to get close to Sun Yun. However, while they were talking, Sun Yun suddenly fainted. Lin Jing¡¯s face was filled with reluctance, but there was nothing she could do; Sun Yun had fainted while she was with her. Wu Qiang, standing on tiptoes, saw that it was Sun Yun who had fainted on the ground, turned his head, and gloated to Xiao Yifei, ¡°Ha ha! That snobbish woman Sun Yun really had it coming! She¡¯s getting her retribution now, isn¡¯t she! I¡¯ve disliked her from the start!¡± Xiao Yifei laughed and shook his head, then suddenly heard someone in the crowd say, ¡°What are you all still standing around for? Sun Yun has fainted! Aren¡¯t you going to call 120 for an ambulance quickly?¡± Wang Zicong also heard the sound from the crowd, and like a cat whose tail was stepped on, he suddenly jumped up, ¡°What? Call an ambulance? Why call an ambulance? Aren¡¯t you all medical students? Go check out what on earth is going on! It can¡¯t be that serious!¡± Wang Zicong walked forward, standing next to the collapsed Sun Yun, with no trace of urgency on his face, only the anxiety of not allowing anyone to call 120. ¡°This must be some illness! Could it be food poisoning?¡± ¡°Impossible, right? Food poisoning wouldn¡¯t cause someone to faint straight away, would it? What exactly happened?¡± ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I graduated, and the job my family found for me is so leisurely; I¡¯ve forgotten almost everything we studied. I know the basics, but I¡¯m really not equipped to deal with this kind of emergency!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve just forgotten, I never learned it properly when I was in school! What are we supposed to do now!¡± With Sun Yun, who had fainted, at the center, the classmates whispering among themselves had mostly forgotten nearly everything they had learned and were totally clueless about the current emergency. After a moment, a classmate wearing glasses stood up, his face filled with worry, ¡°Zicong, Sun Yun is your girlfriend, right? Why won¡¯t you even allow us to make a 120 emergency call? Although it doesn¡¯t seem like a big problem on the surface, we really are at a loss. It¡¯s best to call 120 and let more professional people handle it!¡± Wang Zicong¡¯s neck stiffened, and his expression turned ferocious, ¡°No one is allowed to call 120! Damn it! Sun Yun said her classmates were all good at their studies. To think that you all, a bunch of medical students, are useless, totally unable to lend a hand!¡± It is indeed strange that in today¡¯s society, bullying the meek and fearing the strong is common. After being insulted by Wang Zicong, Sun Yun¡¯s classmates felt as though their fingers were pointed right at their faces, yet not one of them dared to make a peep, all with their heads drooped. Just then, a voice suddenly rose from the crowd, ¡°Lin Jing, weren¡¯t you the best at dealing with this kind of situation back in school? Go have a look!¡± ¡°How would I know how to handle it! I¡¯ve long forgotten!¡± Lin Jing replied agitatedly, then immediately bowed her head, her eyes darting under her smudged eyeliner. In an attempt to mask her incompetence and divert attention from the fact that Sun Yun had fainted while she was with her, Lin Jing suddenly raised her head, ¡°Hey! That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right! Didn¡¯t Xiao Yifei say he is now a doctor at Shangjing Hospital? Let him have a look!¡± Chapter 10 - 10 10 Moving Objects with Gaze ?10: Chapter 10: Moving Objects with Gaze 10: Chapter 10: Moving Objects with Gaze ¡°Yeah, exactly! Since Xiao Yifei is currently a practicing doctor, why not have him take a look? As a doctor, he must have a way!¡± The group of classmates echoed the sentiment, completely forgetting how they had just doubted Xiao Yifei. At this moment, Wang Zicong¡¯s eyes began to survey the hall, searching for Xiao Yifei, completely ignoring Sun Yun, who was lying on the ground and had started to convulse. ¡°Where is he! Damn it! Where did this guy go!¡± At this point, Wang Zicong was frustrated; no matter what he had previously thought, he now especially wanted to believe that Xiao Yifei was truly a formally employed physician. From the back, Xiao Yifei and Wu Qiang, who were watching the commotion, couldn¡¯t help but laugh and cry at the scene before them. ¡°Come on, make way, let me see what exactly is going on!¡± Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t wait for his classmates to call for him and pushed his way through the crowd to the front. ¡°Xiao Yifei, you¡¯re here! Come and see what¡¯s happening! I was just chatting with Sun Yun, and right after she took a bite of the egg tart, she fainted.¡± Lin Jing approached with a sycophantic smile on her face, but Xiao Yifei, as if he hadn¡¯t seen her, walked straight past her. Wang Zicong no longer mocked Xiao Yifei and obediently watched as Xiao Yifei squatted down beside the unconscious Sun Yun. ¡°First, we need to determine the cause of the illness,¡± Xiao Yifei said, slowly focusing his attention, his eyes intently examining Sun Yun lying on the ground. ¡°Can you do this or not?¡± Wu Qiang squatted down and gently bumped Xiao Yifei. He seemed worried, ¡°If not, just forget it. Sun Yun fainting is her retribution. Let¡¯s make up an excuse to get through this. These classmates are one more mercenary than the last; it¡¯s better not to let them mock you again.¡± Xiao Yifei turned to Wu Qiang and smiled serenely, ¡°No worries, I¡¯ll give it a try.¡± Wu Qiang clasped his hands tightly, ready to help Xiao Yifei deal with the classmates¡¯ mockery at any moment. As Xiao Yifei¡¯s gaze slowly swept over Sun Yun¡¯s body, her body¡¯s structure began to materialize in his view. However, as Xiao Yifei observed, his brows furrowed. Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t know what Sun Yun had gone through in recent years because, to him, Sun Yun¡¯s body was riddled with both big and small hidden health issues. Not a single organ in Sun Yun¡¯s body was unscathed. Although the problems were small, their sheer number was overwhelming. Should these issues erupt, the consequences would be dire. With furrowed brow, Xiao Yifei shifted his gaze slowly upward from Sun Yun¡¯s body. He realized that despite numerous health issues within Sun Yun¡¯s body, they were not the reason for her sudden collapse. Just as Xiao Yifei¡¯s gaze had moved to Sun Yun¡¯s head and there was no movement for a while, Wang Zicong grew impatient. ¡°Are you capable or not! If not, get lost quickly, don¡¯t be an embarrassment here! Sun Yun is still lying there; I need to think of other solutions!¡± Wang Zicong¡¯s eyes were full of disdain, and deeper down, there was also some anxiety¡ªbut evidently, the anxiety wasn¡¯t for Sun Yun, but because of another reason. ¡°Xiao Yifei is just a fraud! He¡¯s useless! Let¡¯s call 120 quickly! Sun Yun¡¯s condition doesn¡¯t look optimistic at all!¡± Lin Jing, seeing Xiao Yifei yet to act while Sun Yun¡¯s complexion on the ground was slowly turning pale, was very frightened. Just at that moment. ¡°Shut up!¡± A furious rebuke suddenly erupted from Xiao Yifei. The Xiao Yifei who was previously looked down upon, his sudden outburst had a surprisingly intimidating effect, and the room suddenly fell silent. Wang Zicong opened his mouth, wanting to recover the dignity he had lost to Xiao Yifei¡¯s intimidation, but when he saw Xiao Yifei¡¯s penetrating eyes, he wisely closed his mouth again. ¡°What¡¯s the deal, what does Xiao Yifei mean by this!¡± After an eerie silence, Lin Jing murmured softly. ¡°If you don¡¯t want Sun Yun to get hurt, just shut up and watch me quietly!¡± Xiao Yifei, seeing the effect of his words, lowered his head again, focusing back on Sun Yun¡¯s head. At that moment, Sun Yun¡¯s body started to convulse, clearly, the situation was worsening. ¡°I¡¯ve found the cause, but how do I deal with this!¡± Xiao Yifei looked gravely at a nerve on one side of Sun Yun¡¯s skull. His special vision allowed him to clearly see a blood clot on that nerve, which was pressing against it and causing Sun Yun¡¯s unconsciousness. To avoid suspicion from his classmates, Xiao Yifei pretended to put his hand on Sun Yun¡¯s head and began to massage it slowly. What was even more concerning was that if it were just the coma induced by the blood clot, Sun Yun wouldn¡¯t be taking it so seriously, because if that was the case, calling emergency services would still be timely. However, the position of this blood clot on the nerve was quite peculiar; it could affect the brain¡¯s blood supply and do so profoundly. If this continued, Sun Yun would become a vegetative state! And calling emergency services now would be too late! Xiao Yifei lifted his head to look around, hoping to find someone or something that could help him. Except for Wu Qiang, who looked anxious, the rest of the classmates were apathetic, and Wang Zicong stood with his arms crossed, without a hint of concern. ¡°What should I do!¡± Xiao Yifei was becoming anxious, but this mounting urgency allowed him to focus even more. He slowly entered a strange state where he seemed absent-minded and could distinctly feel a clear stream flowing from his pineal gland to his eyes. Xiao Yifei himself became exceedingly calm, devoid of any subjective emotions, as if he were a robot. ¡°The blood clot is 5 millimeters in diameter, irregular-shaped, compressing the nerve endings. The nerve signal is blocked. If not treated in time, it will cause paralysis, and in severe cases, lead to vegetative state.¡± The knowledge Xiao Yifei had learned passed before his eyes like a waterfall, and the methods to deal with it appeared accordingly, but none could resolve the current situation. But around Xiao Yifei, suddenly there appeared fine lines, invisible to the naked eye, that seemed both real and illusory. As Xiao Yifei concentrated deeply, these lines slowly became more solid. The source of these lines was Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes! The fine lines emerging from Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes followed his gaze, slowly reaching out towards Sun Yun¡¯s head on the ground, passing directly through her skull, and approaching the blood clot inside it. All of this was unbeknownst to Xiao Yifei. ¡°If only there was something that could slightly move the blood clot,¡± he wished. The moment this thought appeared in Xiao Yifei¡¯s mind, he suddenly noticed the blood clot compressing the nerve inside Sun Yun¡¯s skull twitch violently, and at the same time, Sun Yun moaned. ¡°What!¡± ¡°Sun Yun just made a sound!¡± ¡°Could it be that Sun Yun is waking up?¡± Surprised by Sun Yun¡¯s sound, the classmates gasped, but seeing Xiao Yifei, who was still squatting beside Sun Yun, they obediently shut their mouths. ¡°Could it be that these eyes bring me more than just the ability to see through things?¡± Xiao Yifei marveled inwardly. In his state of extreme calm, he quickly deduced the truth. At that moment, he once again directed his gaze and willed with his consciousness to move the blood clot. Fine lines entwined, slowly lifting the blood clot off the nerve endings. To Xiao Yifei, it appeared as if an invisible hand gently lifted the clot that was pressing on the nerve. ¡°It worked! My eyes really do more than just see through things! The surprises these eyes bring me are so abundant!¡± Xiao Yifei was thrilled inside! And just as the blood clot left the nerve, Sun Yun coincidentally ¡°mmhmm¡± and opened her eyes. Chapter 11 - 11 11 Because Youre Ugly ?11: Chapter 11 Because You¡¯re Ugly 11: Chapter 11 Because You¡¯re Ugly By the time Sun Yun opened her eyes and came to, Wang Zicong visibly let out a sigh of relief, while her classmates showed a surprised expression, Even Wu Qiang was taken aback as he tugged at Xiao Yifei¡¯s sleeve, ¡°Hey, what¡¯s this situation¡ªhow did she suddenly come around? It seemed like they were all out of options, you just gave her a quick massage and she woke up. Just now, I saw her convulsing and nearly out of it!¡± Indeed, the recent reactions of Sun Yun had truly been distressing, and their classmates wondered why Xiao Yifei was so miraculous. Hearing Wu Qiang¡¯s question, the classmates perked up their ears wanting to hear the explanation. Xiao Yifei, clearly aware of the classmates¡¯ confusion, opted to avoid unnecessary troubles and humbly chuckled, ¡°Actually, it was nothing serious. It seemed to me that it was just due to insufficient blood supply to Sun Yun¡¯s brain. I didn¡¯t have much choice but to rub her a bit to facilitate smoother blood flow, naturally Sun Yun woke up.¡± Upon saying this, Xiao Yifei remembered the blood clot still inside Sun Yun¡¯s head, despite him having moved it aside, and kindly advised her, ¡°However, Sun Yun, I am not sure if my judgment is accurate, so it¡¯s best you go to the hospital to get checked, having a brain CT would be the safest approach.¡± Who knew that the newly awakened Sun Yun wouldn¡¯t appreciate it¡ªat Wang Zicong¡¯s help, she got up and didn¡¯t even glance at Xiao Yifei, let alone respond to his suggestion. ¡°So, that¡¯s the reason. But it doesn¡¯t make sense. Can a blockage that causes insufficient blood supply really be solved with just a massage?¡± Among the classmates, some were sober enough to sense something amiss. Yet, not understanding the true facts, they remained quiet, with their necks shrunk. The rest of the classmates didn¡¯t even comprehend the situation, not to mention raising any doubts. ¡°So, does Xiao Yifei really have some serious skills? Not to mention the quality of his medical skills, at least his judgement of the condition seems flawless!¡± ¡°Xiao Yifei, which department are you in at Shangjing Hospital? I will come to you if I need help in the future!¡± Among the classmates, voices began to emerge in support of Xiao Yifei, and some already believed that Xiao Yifei was a formally employed doctor. Just as Wang Zicong helped Sun Yun to sit down, he heard Xiao Yifei¡¯s response and the classmates¡¯ remarks. Anxious in his heart, his moment was being stolen by Xiao Yifei. His eyes shifted alertly, he stood straight up and disdainfully commented, ¡°A formal doctor at Shangjing Hospital?¡± then he scanned the hall arrogantly, ¡°Do you know why I wasn¡¯t worried, why I didn¡¯t ask you to call for an ambulance? I¡¯ll tell you, because I had already seen that Yunyun¡¯s fainting was nothing serious, I knew it was due to the circulation problem, I knew it long ago! Even without those few massages from Xiao Yifei, Yunyun would have woken up by herself in a while!¡± ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you say so earlier, making us worry about Sun Yun like that? Even if you knew Sun Yun¡¯s condition wasn¡¯t serious, not showing any concern was really too much!¡± The classmates, discontented, couldn¡¯t help but retort at Wang Zicong¡¯s after-the-fact revelation. ¡°Who says I don¡¯t care about Yunyun? I tell you, I care about her more than any of you!¡± Wang Zicong lowered his head to look at Sun Yun, ¡°How could I possibly not care about you?¡± At that moment, Sun Yun also looked up, still somewhat groggy from just waking up. She also felt that her condition was not as simple as insufficient blood flow, but seeing Wang Zicong brimming with confidence, she replied with a coy smile, ¡°Certainly! Zicong cares the most about me!¡± Wang Zicong, having received a positive response, looked down his nose with disdain and scrutinized the crowd below, ¡°For this class reunion, I booked an entire floor of the hotel for you all, and yet you don¡¯t side with me, but with Xiao Yifei? What a joke. So what if he is a regular doctor at Shangjing Hospital? Let me tell you how I managed to book this entire floor. It¡¯s because the owner of the Yanyun Hotel asked me to use my connections to help her at Shangjing Hospital! I directly secured a chief physician position for her to return the favor! What¡¯s so great about Xiao Yifei being a regular doctor at Shangjing Hospital? Who just said they had to go to Shangjing Hospital to seek out Xiao Yifei for help? Don¡¯t come to me in the future!¡± Sun Yun, acting coy, looked up at Wang Zicong, ¡°Zicong! I was clearly fine, yet you let another man touch my head! How could you let another man touch me!¡± Wang Zicong bowed his head and gently caressed Sun Yun¡¯s face, glancing at Xiao Yifei with a sneer, ¡°Yunyun, don¡¯t be angry. I could tell what minor illness you had in just one glance. I originally wanted to test whether your classmates had any medical skill to see if they could help out at my company. Turns out none of them are of any use. And there goes Xiao Yifei, kneading and pressing on your head. I couldn¡¯t stop him ¡ª maybe he¡¯s never seen a woman before! Besides, there¡¯s nothing impressive about Xiao Yifei¡¯s minor medical skills, I could diagnose your condition in a glance anyway. I don¡¯t know what he¡¯s so proud of!¡± ¡°What is all this nonsense! Sun Yun is a bit too much, isn¡¯t she? No matter what, it was Xiao Yifei who saved her!¡± Except for Lin Jing, all of Xiao Yifei¡¯s classmates felt dissatisfied with Wang Zicong and Sun Yun, murmuring quietly behind them. Only Lin Jing wore an excited expression on her face, ¡°Wow! Zicong, you know so many people, that¡¯s really impressive!¡± ¡°Of course,¡± Wang Zicong boasted with pride lifting his head. At that moment, Xiao Yifei slowly stood up. He felt dizzy after moving the clot in Sun Yun¡¯s brain. Using this power seemed to have an effect on him too. Standing beside him, Wu Qiang could no longer stand the covert insults at Xiao Yifei. Initially, Wu Qiang could tolerate it, but such blatant targeting was too much for him to bear. Not to mention that Wang Zicong had already stolen Xiao Yifei¡¯s girlfriend, and now this despicable attack on Xiao Yifei and Sun Yun constantly insulting him made Wu Qiang furious and unable to hold back any longer. ¡°You bastards really need a beating!¡± Unable to endure any longer, Wu Qiang rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward to hit Wang Zicong. Seeing Wu Qiang¡¯s actions, Wang Zicong wore a cold smile, ¡°Oh ho, what¡¯s this? Ready to fight? You should look around and see whose territory this is!¡± ¡°Fuck off!¡± Wu Qiang yelled as he dashed toward Wang Zicong, a hint of panic flashing through Wang Zicong¡¯s eyes. Just then, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed Wu Qiang. Turning his head, he saw it was Xiao Yifei grabbing him. Wu Qiang, furious, said to Xiao Yifei, ¡°Xiao Yifei, if you can still tolerate this, then don¡¯t blame me for not acknowledging you as a brother!¡± Seeing Xiao Yifei holding back Wu Qiang, Wang Zicong burst into contemptuous laughter and said, ¡°That¡¯s more like it! A wise man submits to circumstances. The two of you, with no power or status, how can you compete with me? Let me tell you the truth, I came to this reunion specifically to insult Xiao Yifei! Knowing Wu Qiang, you also wanted to join in the fuss, don¡¯t blame me then!¡± Wu Qiang¡¯s eyes blazed with fury as he stared at Xiao Yifei, who gently shook his head at Wu Qiang and said, ¡°I¡¯ll handle this.¡± Seeing Xiao Yifei¡¯s gesture, Wang Zicong, intrigued, said, ¡°Oh ho, what¡¯s this? How do you plan to settle this?¡± Wu Qiang came up to Wang Zicong and said softly, ¡°You went too far.¡± Wang Zicong, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, burst into uncontrollable laughter, gasping for breath, ¡°Hahaha, why are you so funny! Is this how you handle things? Hahaha, I went too far? I did go too far! What can you do to me!¡± After laughing for a while, Wang Zicong finally stopped. He looked menacingly at Xiao Yifei, ¡°Do you know why I look down on you? Because you¡¯re poor!¡± At that moment, Sun Yun also stood up, her eyes filled with disdain as she added, ¡°Not just poor, but also powerless!¡± ¡°You two are really something, what can you two do to me?¡± Xiao Yifei suddenly laughed, ¡°Just blabbering, can that get you two excited?¡± Then Xiao Yifei, still laughing, said to Sun Yun, ¡°Don¡¯t be so arrogant, Sun Yun. If you faint now, there¡¯s no one who can help you!¡± Wang Zicong heard Xiao Yifei¡¯s words and sneered mockingly, ¡°It¡¯s just inadequate blood supply, right? No one can help her? You think too highly of yourself. Even if she faints again, what¡¯s that to you? Just now I wanted to see what you could do, but do you think I¡¯ll give you the chance to show off again?¡± Wang Zicong let out a disdainful hiss, ¡°Don¡¯t embarrass yourself.¡± ¡°Really?¡± A glint flashed in Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes as he looked at Wang Zicong with a half-smile, ¡°Can you really handle it?¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Wang Zicong¡¯s tone was still mocking, but he suddenly noticed that Sun Yun, who had been glaring fiercely at Xiao Yifei, suddenly rolled her eyes back and fainted again! ¡°What¡¯s going on! What is happening!¡± Wang Zicong was surprised, but clearly, he didn¡¯t take Sun Yun¡¯s fainting seriously as he turned to Xiao Yifei and said, ¡°Trash, I¡¯ll show you how I handle this simple situation!¡± Xiao Yifei first gently pinched the bridge of his nose, then smiled and spread his hands to Wang Zicong. Wang Zicong, with a proud look, knelt beside Sun Yun, observing her as she laid there unconscious. ¡°What¡¯s the situation, why did Sun Yun faint again? Can insufficient blood supply really cause such frequent fainting? If Wang Zicong handles this well, wouldn¡¯t that just make him look good?¡± Wu Qiang turned his head, a puzzled look on his face. Xiao Yifei smiled at Wu Qiang, ¡°It¡¯s not that easy.¡± After saying this, Xiao Yifei pinched his brow again, appearing somewhat in pain. This time, Sun Yun¡¯s fainting was not a sudden occurrence. It was caused by Xiao Yifei using his superpower to tamper with something in Sun Yun¡¯s brain. A small move, enough to make her faint, but Sun Yun could still sense everything happening outside, just unable to wake up. Wang Zicong looked relaxed as he watched Sun Yun lying unconscious, but gradually, his expression grew serious. He noticed that after Sun Yun had fainted, she showed no reaction. Then, imitating Xiao Yifei, Wang Zicong started to fumble around on Sun Yun¡¯s head, but still no response. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why hasn¡¯t she woken up? It was just inadequate blood supply, right? Zicong, handling this should be simple for you, right?¡± Lin Jing leaned in, her face showing confusion. Without a word, Wang Zicong stood up, gesturing for Lin Jing to continue massaging Sun Yun, but still with no effect. Then he pinched his nose and said to Xiao Yifei, ¡°Forget it, I can¡¯t be bothered to wake Sun Yun. I¡¯ll give you some face today, you go wake her. I¡¯m a bit tired today; I don¡¯t want to play anymore!¡± Sun Yun tapped her chin, ¡°If you can¡¯t do it, just admit it, why keep pretending?¡± Wang Zicong chuckled, ¡°I can¡¯t do it? How so? Let me tell you, Sun Yun will naturally wake up in a while. I¡¯m just giving you a way out, don¡¯t bother me, hurry up and go!¡± Xiao Yifei shook his head with a smile and started walking toward Sun Yun. Wang Zicong watched as Xiao Yifei moved closer to Sun Yun, his expression suddenly turning to one of astonishment, because Xiao Yifei was actually bypassing Sun Yun and walking towards him. When Xiao Yifei came face to face with him, Wang Zicong clearly heard the words from Xiao Yifei¡¯s mouth, ¡°You don¡¯t want to play with me? I want to play with you! Know why I¡¯ve always looked down on you?¡± Xiao Yifei paused briefly and then said softly, ¡°Because you¡¯re ugly!¡± Finally, a huge fist appeared before Wang Zicong¡¯s face, getting closer and closer! ¡°Bang!¡± Xiao Yifei threw a fierce punch at Wang Zicong¡¯s face, knocking him to the ground. Chapter 12 - 12 12 Powerful Qi Field ?12: Chapter 12: Powerful Qi Field 12: Chapter 12: Powerful Qi Field Wang Zicong was stunned by the blow, he never expected Xiao Yifei to strike him in front of everyone! ¡°Damn it! You actually dared to hit me! You actually dared to hit me!¡± Regaining his composure, Wang Zicong got up in fury, ready to rush at Xiao Yifei, but, seeing Xiao Yifei¡¯s build, he backed off. Clutching his darkened eye socket, he yelled hysterically at Xiao Yifei¡¯s classmates, ¡°Hit him! Go hit him! Help me hit him! He dared to hit me!¡± At that moment, not a single classmate stepped forward to help. Then Wu Qiang came over and patted Xiao Yifei on the shoulder, ¡°Well done, Xiao Yifei, that punch was really satisfying!¡± But Xiao Yifei just smiled nonchalantly, ¡°It¡¯s not over yet, Wu Qiang. You have no idea how spiteful I can be, do you?¡± Wang Zicong stood panting in place, his glare vicious enough to kill Xiao Yifei ten thousand times over, but he himself didn¡¯t dare to confront Xiao Yifei. He took out his phone and made a call, while Xiao Yifei watched with crossed arms as Wang Zicong finished the call. ¡°What? Done with the call? Are you going to tell me now to ¡®wait and see¡¯?¡± With a smile that was not a smile, Xiao Yifei savored the punch, strengthened by his everyday exercise routine, which certainly made Wang Zicong suffer Wang Zicong paused, then pointing at Xiao Yifei with trembling hands and with dark circles under his eyes, he stammered, ¡°You just wait!¡± Xiao Yifei couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. Wang Zicong¡¯s appearance was just too funny. ¡°Hey, hey, hey! Shouldn¡¯t you check on Sun Yun? She¡¯s still lying on the ground!¡± Xiao Yifei said, laughing and pointing at Sun Yun, who had fainted. Wang Zicong glanced at Sun Yun fallen on the ground, ¡°It¡¯s all this chick¡¯s fault! Not only did she spend my money, she also lost me face! Would I have helped her organize this reunion and let her show off if she hadn¡¯t taken good care of me?¡± Then Wang Zicong glared fiercely at Xiao Yifei, ¡°No matter what happened to her! Today, you¡¯re finished! I will make sure you¡¯re done for! Nothing anyone says will make a difference!¡± It was only then that the rest of the classmates finally realized what had happened, and they no longer sided with Wang Zicong. ¡°Xiao Yifei, you better go now! Honestly, Wang Zicong does have some influence, you should leave and lay low for a bit!¡± ¡°Yeah, Xiao Yifei, if you can¡¯t handle it, you should go. The rest of us will cover for you here, no worries!¡± At this time, the classmates¡¯ words started to favor Xiao Yifei, as they all urged him to leave and avoid trouble. ¡°Really, Xiao Yifei, why don¡¯t we leave? After all, we¡¯ve let off steam today, it¡¯s fine!¡± Wu Qiang came up to Xiao Yifei and whispered to him. ¡°Think you can leave? Don¡¯t even think about it! If you dare, I¡¯ll break your legs! I want to see who dares to help Xiao Yifei today! If anyone helps him, I¡¯ll deal with them too!¡± Upon hearing someone suggest that Xiao Yifei leave first, Wang Zicong shouted furiously. Xiao Yifei stood calmly in place, looking at the infuriated Wang Zicong without any intention of leaving. He raised his hand and said seriously to Wang Zicong, ¡°Sun Yun is already rolling her eyes, aren¡¯t you going to check on her?¡± Wang Zicong glared coldly at Xiao Yifei, ¡°You just wait! I will make sure you pay with your life!¡± Xiao Yifei laughed, bowing his head and started fiddling with his fingers, ¡°Wait is wait, then, I¡¯ll entertain you a bit!¡± Since discovering his abilities to see through things and control objects with his mind, Xiao Yifei feared nothing. Wang Zicong, seeing Xiao Yifei¡¯s confident demeanor, couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit unnerved. However, just at that moment, the elevator suddenly ¡®dinged,¡¯ and Wang Zicong¡¯s eyes lit up as if he¡¯d seen a savior. ¡°Even if I have to exhaust all my favors today! No matter how much more I have to offer! I will make sure Xiao Yifei pays for hitting me! If I can¡¯t deal with you, can¡¯t the big boss of the Yanyun Hotel deal with you? That person has connections everywhere, both in the underworld and among the law, can¡¯t they deal with you? She¡¯s finally here! You just wait!¡± Wang Zicong watched Xiao Yifei with a sinister smile, then his expression brightened into a radiant smile as he approached the opening lift doors. ¡°President Yu! You¡¯ve finally arrived!¡± Wang Zicong, while bowing, wore a fawning smile as he greeted the woman coming out of the elevator. And indeed, the entourage emerging from the lift¡ªthe six or seven black-clad bodyguards¡ªsuggested a formidable presence, circling a beautiful woman dressed in a professional black suit. ¡°No way, what a coincidence!¡± Xiao Yifei couldn¡¯t help but exclaim at the sight of the beautiful woman¡ªit really was a small world! He reached into his pocket and pulled out Yu Jing¡¯s business card, his face showing an inscrutable expression. Wang Zicong, bowing low, extended his hand to Yu Jing, who completely ignored Wang Zicong¡¯s gesture. Standing before Wang Zicong, Yu Jing commanded the space, ¡°What¡¯s this? Why did you call me? Don¡¯t you know I hate being bothered?¡± The formidable presence of the strong woman, Yu Jing, surprised Xiao Yifei. He had thought of her as a loving and gentle mother, and this was the first time he was witnessing her powerful aura. Coupled with the mature charm exuding from her, recalling Yu Jing¡¯s soft palm, Xiao Yifei¡¯s heart fluttered. ¡°What¡¯s going on here! Why is someone fainted! Don¡¯t you know my biggest pet peeve is trouble, and second, I hate events related to illness?¡± Yu Jing, suddenly noticing Sun Yun fainted on the floor, raised her eyebrows, her peach blossom eyes emitting an intimidating power that startled Wang Zicong. However, Yu Jing did not notice Xiao Yi, who was hidden in the crowd. ¡°This...this is nothing! The woman drank too much! She¡¯s just drunk! President Yu, you don¡¯t need to worry about her! I¡¯ll have someone toss her out soon enough! It won¡¯t be a bother to you!¡± Wang Zicong, shivering with fear, hastily replied, without any regard for Sun Yun¡¯s well-being. Yu Jing nodded slightly, and then noticed that the man talking to her, Wang Zicong, had a black and blue eye and curiously inquired, ¡°What happened to your eye? Did someone hit you?¡± Initially groveling at Yu Jing¡¯s side and thinking about how to steer the conversation back, Wang Zicong suddenly burst into tears upon hearing Yu Jing¡¯s question, ¡°President Yu! You must stand up for me! I kindly found them a place for a class reunion, then someone hit me!¡± Wang Zicong cried and exaggerated the story, wiping his tears and bowing his head, looking like he was utterly wronged¡ªit was a far cry from his earlier arrogance. But, of course, his status was not even close to Yu Jing¡¯s. Yu Jing listened to Wang Zicong¡¯s account with a frown, ¡°What¡¯s going on! That something like this has happened! To think someone dared to hit somebody in front of so many people! But you do know how to find trouble! Tell me, who hit you, I will help you handle it.¡± Chapter 13 - 13 13 Shut up ?13: Chapter 13 Shut up 13: Chapter 13 Shut up Wang Zicong heard Yu Jing¡¯s response and, with a mournful face, was actually overjoyed inside. He lowered his head and sneered as he looked towards Xiao Yifei. ¡°Move it! Get the guy who hit you over here!¡± Yu Jing suddenly shouted, startling Wang Zicong. Wang Zicong, with his neck retracted, meekly said to Yu Jing, ¡°President Yu, I... I¡¯m afraid to go over alone.¡± ¡°You!¡± Yu Jing disdainfully shook her head and then gestured to three suited bodyguards to follow Wang Zicong. Followed by three burly bodyguards in black suits, Wang Zicong suddenly felt a boost of confidence. As he left Yu Jing¡¯s side, he swaggered forward with a wild smile towards Xiao Yifei. ¡°What to do! These guys look really fierce! Xiao Yifei is going to suffer this time!¡± ¡°Although Wang Zicong is a bit of a scumbag, he really does know a lot of people! Let¡¯s hide quickly and avoid trouble!¡± ¡°Xiao Yifei is really out of luck this time! Ah, who else to provoke but Wang Zicong, that villain! He doesn¡¯t even care about Sun Yun anymore, yet he keeps saying they are so loving every day! It¡¯s disgusting!¡± The classmates whispered among themselves, but how could they speak up for Xiao Yifei? Eventually, they all stepped aside, making Xiao Yifei and Wu Qiang, who had been by his side, stand out. ¡°Xiao Yifei, I¡¯ll count one, two, three, and you run! I¡¯ll hold them off for a bit! Later, we¡¯ll settle scores with Wang Zicong!¡± Wu Qiang, watching Wang Zicong approach with the ominous men in black, had sweaty palms and a tense heart. Even so, he was still thinking of ways to help Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei gently patted Wu Qiang¡¯s shoulder, signaling him it was okay. Then, to Wu Qiang¡¯s amazement, Xiao Yifei stepped forward and stood in front of Wang Zicong. ¡°Hahaha! Xiao Yifei! You still dare to be arrogant? Continue being arrogant now! I¡¯ll see to it that you¡¯re dead!¡± Wang Zicong, with a ferocious expression, seemed almost ready to tear Xiao Yifei apart with his words. However, to Wang Zicong¡¯s surprise, Xiao Yifei walked up to him, calmly patted his shoulder, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, aren¡¯t we supposed to meet your boss, Yu Jing? Let¡¯s go together.¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s action was completely unexpected to Wang Zicong. He had arrived with three fierce-looking bodyguards in black suits, blooding rushing forward to confront Xiao Yifei, who was not scared and even took the initiative to speak. Regardless of the outcome, this bravery alone shocked Wang Zicong and not just him¡ªhis classmates were also amazed by Xiao Yifei¡¯s composed demeanor. If what Wang Zicong said was true, this charming woman, allegedly the owner of the Yanyun Grand Hotel, must indeed be a person with vast connections and influence. The Yanyun Grand Hotel had stood tall in Yanjing City for decades, all thanks to this owner. Moreover, they were on her turf! Some classmates quietly sneered at Xiao Yifei¡¯s foolishness for not taking the best opportunity to flee. Others felt bewildered; since when had Xiao Yifei become so fearless? Wu Qiang¡¯s heart was filled with worry, no matter what, none of those present believed Xiao Yifei could leave unscathed. Unless a miracle happened. Wang Zicong looked coldly at Xiao Yifei, his eyes signaling the bodyguards to catch Xiao Yifei to prevent his escape. A Large man in a suit stepped forward to grab Xiao Yifei but was slapped away by Xiao Yifei: ¡°Don¡¯t touch me; we¡¯ll just go.¡± Wang Zicong snorted coldly, ¡°Act tough now, kid. I want to see what you¡¯ll do later!¡± Driven by revenge, Wang Zicong quickly walked up to Yu Jing: ¡°President Yu! This is the guy! He dared to hit me in your hotel!¡± ¡°Hmm,¡± Yu Jing gave a light response. Although her expression was full of charm, an air of authority suddenly emanated from her as she turned and said, ¡°I¡¯ll come and see what¡¯s going on.¡± Wang Zicong felt satisfied, and with a vicious smile, he stepped aside to let Xiao Yifei appear in front of Yu Jing. The hotel was utterly silent, and everyone¡¯s attention was focused on Xiao Yifei and Yu Jing. They all worried about what would happen next, but when Yu Jing turned around, she was stunned into silence for moment. There was confusion in everyone¡¯s minds when suddenly, Yu Jing¡¯s facial expression dramatically changed. Initially expressing impatience, as soon as Xiao Yifei appeared before her, it transformed into surprise and disbelief, and finally, into an excited exclamation, ¡°Doctor Xiao?!¡± Xiao Yifei smiled gently, neither humbly nor arrogantly, ¡°Hello, Sister Yu, nice to see you again.¡± Wang Zicong froze, and so did everyone else present. The intent was for a bloody revenge, but unexpectedly, the two knew each other, and from Yu Jing¡¯s reaction, she seemed to hold much respect for Xiao Yifei! ¡°How is it possible? From Wang Zicong¡¯s reaction to Yu in general, this quite beautiful woman is also a billionaire, yet her reaction to Xiao Yifei is filled with respect!¡± ¡°Could it be that we were wrong? Does Xiao Yifei have some other background?¡± Classmates stared wide-eyed, even Wu Qiang was frozen in place. Watching the scene unfold, Wang Zicong felt an ominous sensation, but a sense of shame drove him somewhat mad, ¡°President Yu! It¡¯s him! You said you would help me get revenge on him! You must punish him severely for me!¡± Yu Jing quickly gave Xiao Yifei an apologetic smile, then turned around, her figure radiating the aura of someone in a high position, coupled with her mature body and stunning beauty, spreading a bewitching charm. She spoke sternly, ¡°Shut him up!¡± At her command, a large man in a suit stepped forward and pinned Wang Zicong to the ground. Pinned to the ground, Wang Zicong still couldn¡¯t fathom it; after all, it was he who had called Yu Jing, so why was he the one lying on the ground! Wang Zicong completely broke down, ¡°President Yu! What is going on! Have you forgotten? My connections were what finally diagnosed your daughter¡¯s illness! He¡¯s just a mere doctor! I¡¯m worth millions! How can you treat me this way! President Yu, have you mistaken the person! Please teach him a lesson for me!¡± Wang Zicong would have been better off not saying that, as it only fueled Yu Jing¡¯s anger. Her daughter had initially had only a cough, and she had planned to visit Shangjing Hospital. Despite a round of examinations, no issues were found, and the attending physician Wang Changping was indifferent to her daughter¡¯s case. Eventually, it was still Wang Changping whom Wang Zicong consulted, and he diagnosed her daughter with malnutrition. Although her family wasn¡¯t among the wealthiest, they were still worth billions; malnutrition was an absurd diagnosis! Had it not been for Xiao Yifei¡¯s help in diagnosing the condition, who knows what could have happened to her daughter¡ªit was cancer! Xiao Yifei was the lifesaver of her beloved daughter, and key to her future recovery, making Wang Zicong¡¯s millions seem trivial to Yu Jing. Yet, Yu Jing wouldn¡¯t voice these thoughts. Hearing Wang Zicong continue to rant unabashedly, Yu Jing could no longer maintain her composure and her phoenix eyes widened, ¡°Shut up!¡± The large man immediately struck Wang Zicong¡¯s face with a heavy slap. ¡°Slap!¡± A crisp sound rang out, and Wang Zicong, stunned, covered his face in disbelief. All guests at the hotel stared in shock at everything unfolding, with Yu Jing not hesitating to strike Wang Zicong, the very person who had summoned her, for Xiao Yifei! Chapter 14 - 14 14 Stars Holding the Moon ?14: Chapter 14: Stars Holding the Moon 14: Chapter 14: Stars Holding the Moon Yu Jing did not even glance at Wang Zicong, who sat dazed on the floor covering his face. She regulated her breath, and her heaving chest gradually calmed. She gently gathered her hanging strands of black hair and smiled at Xiao Yifei, saying, ¡°Doctor Xiao, I¡¯m really sorry. Why didn¡¯t you let me know before you arrived, to have you go through such an ordeal. As for how to deal with Wang Zicong, you decide!¡± After Xiao Yifei gained his superpower, he really did not take Wang Zicong seriously. However, what slightly surprised Xiao Yifei was Yu Jing¡¯s identity. He knew Yu Jing was no ordinary figure, but he had not expected her to be the CEO of such a grand hotel. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Sister Yu, haven¡¯t you already taught him a lesson? That¡¯s enough for me.¡± Xiao Yifei really did not care much about Wang Zicong. He smiled lightly, responding to Yu Jing¡¯s words. As a billionaire, Yu Jing naturally had her own means. Her eyes scanned over the banquet hall, pausing briefly on the banner that read ¡°Class of ¡¯14 Medical University Reunion,¡± before she turned her head back and addressed all of Xiao Yifei¡¯s classmates, saying, ¡°You are all Doctor Xiao¡¯s classmates, right? Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier! I apologize for dampening everyone¡¯s spirits. Come on, come on; the thirteenth-floor Baihua Hall is vacant. Let¡¯s move there, as the environment is much nicer. I¡¯ll apologize there, and I¡¯ll cover all expenses!¡± At once, a stir erupted among Xiao Yifei¡¯s classmates who understood the situation. ¡°That¡¯s the Baihua Hall, the most luxurious banquet hall in the Yanyun Grand Hotel! The elevators to Baihua Hall are exclusive. Ordinary people can¡¯t even access them! To think that Xiao Yifei could get the owner of the Yanyun Grand Hotel to host us there! And he even said he would apologize! Paying all the expenses? This isn¡¯t a trivial amount of energy! Comparatively, Wang Zicong means nothing! Xiao Yifei is really powerful now?!¡± ¡°Holy shit, is this for real?!¡± The classmates buzzed with discussion, but in the middle of the crowd, Xiao Yifei could only offer a wry smile. This was a favor he now owed, but he was fearless, provided with his own confidence! Xiao Yifei scratched his head. ¡°Thank you, Sister Yu.¡± Yu Jing initially thought she was doing Xiao Yifei a favor, as she knew nothing about medical skill. Noticing Xiao Yifei¡¯s high level of expertise, and with only her precious daughter left, she thought of doing him a favor to have him treat her daughter well. But amid such a large gesture, Xiao Yifei showed not the slightest hint of being overwhelmed but a look of full confidence. This demeanor made Yu Jing regard him even more highly! ¡°Perhaps this favor could yield even more!¡± Yu Jing, who had started with the notion of making a slight compensation, now had a change of heart! Never underestimate a doctor. An excellent doctor can save one¡¯s life! For the wealthy, what does money count for compared to life? Under Yu Jing¡¯s lead, everyone headed to the hotel¡¯s thirteenth floor. The group walked tentatively, visibly nervous, yet with Xiao Yifei taking the informal lead, he remained composed and jovial. Behind them, only Wang Zicong lay on the ground alone, his face displaying a stupefied expression, disbelieving, while beside him, Sun Yun, although unconscious, suddenly shed tears of regret. Wang Zicong turned his head to see the unconscious Sun Yun, and fury surged within him. He fiercely slapped her. ¡°This is all your fault, you damn fool!¡± Wang Zicong gnashed his teeth, and after slapping Sun Yun, he didn¡¯t care about her life or death at all. Watching Xiao Yifei and his group enter the elevator, he dejectedly walked into the staircase. ¡°I can¡¯t possibly not take revenge! I can¡¯t do anything about Yu Jing, but if you really are a doctor from Shangjing Hospital as you say, I¡¯ll definitely destroy you!¡± Wang Zicong¡¯s eyes were red with hatred as he pulled out his cellphone and dialed a number: ¡°Director Wang, yes yes yes, it¡¯s me, it¡¯s Zicong. Do you have a doctor named Xiao Yifei there? What? He¡¯s under you? I need a favor...¡± No matter what sinister plans Wang Zicong had in mind for Xiao Yifei, today¡¯s impression of Xiao Yifei on his classmates was simply too stunning, making those who looked down on him have their jaws drop, even Wu Qiang was extremely shocked. ¡°Xiao Yifei, how come you never told me! You¡¯re doing so well now! You even know these multi-billionaire bosses! And they seem to really respect you!¡± Wu Qiang secretly pulled Xiao Yifei aside. ¡°They treat me this way because they think I¡¯m treating their daughter, it¡¯s nothing.¡± Xiao Yifei smiled in response to Wu Qiang¡¯s words. ¡°Let¡¯s have a good time at Baihua Hall later, I¡¯ve never seen what Baihua Hall is like, today will be an eye-opener.¡± Wu Qiang followed behind Xiao Yifei, his gaze towards Xiao Yifei slowly changed, now Xiao Yifei had an aura of profound mystery, but no matter what, Wu Qiang always knew, Xiao Yifei recognized him as his brother, and he always had! With Wang Zicong no longer causing trouble, coupled with the classmates being intimidated by Xiao Yifei and deliberately accommodating him, the gathering at Baihua Hall was very harmonious, everyone was enjoying themselves, and even felt a bit intimidated by Xiao Yifei. Yu Jing appeared for ten minutes then left, telling Xiao Yifei that he could come to her with any issues. Money and power really can change most people¡¯s attitudes. After the party, Xiao Yifei became the center of attention. Although Xiao Yifei wanted to leave quietly, his classmates insisted on seeing him off, so a group of them grandly made their way to the entrance of the Yan Yun Hotel. ¡°You just need to take Wu Qiang home, he¡¯s happy today, drank a bit, thank you for your trouble.¡± Xiao Yifei stood at the hotel entrance, instructing his classmates, Wu Qiang didn¡¯t know if he was happy for himself or for Xiao Yifei, but he had drunk a lot and was quite tipsy. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave it to us!¡± A classmate with a car slapped his chest loudly, ¡°I haven¡¯t had a drink, I¡¯ll definitely take Wu Qiang home. Xiao Yifei, where do you live? I can drop you off as well!¡± The speaking classmate had a pleasing look, hoping to build a connection with Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei shook his head and tossed his bicycle keys in his hand: ¡°No need, I have my own ride, you guys be careful on the way back, and drive safely.¡± The classmates watched eagerly as Xiao Yifei walked to his bicycle locked at the hotel¡¯s fence, skillfully unlocked it, jumped on, and as he rode away, he turned back and waved coolly at them. ¡°That¡¯s really cool!¡± A classmate who had boasted about driving a Buick at the party looked down at his own car keys and let out a self-depreciating laugh. And as the classmates watched Xiao Yifei¡¯s receding figure, four words suddenly flashed through their minds: ¡°Dust rises as he rides!¡± Chapter 15 - 15 15 Literary Flourish ?15: Chapter 15: Literary Flourish 15: Chapter 15: Literary Flourish Xiao Yifei was not in a hurry to return because he did not want to be with his classmates, but for other reasons. His head had started to ache since the fourth time he used Clairvoyance. After helping Sun Yun remove a blood clot from her brain at the hotel, a sudden surge of pain nearly made Xiao Yifei faint. To avoid collapsing in front of his classmates, Xiao Yifei had been forcing himself to stay conscious with his sheer willpower, but eventually, he could no longer bear it and hastily left. Dragging his painful body, Xiao Yifei finally reached the building where he rented an apartment. He carelessly threw his bicycle aside and, driven by his willpower, struggled to his room. Once inside, Xiao Yifei could no longer endure the pain. Waves of tearing pain flowed through his mind, and he let out a painful groan before heavily throwing himself onto the bed. He passed out. In the haze, a pair of enormous emerald eyes stared fixedly at him. Xiao Yifei stood beneath the eyes, gazing upward at these jewel-like orbs, until the crystal-clear eyes slowly began to bleed red. ¡°Ah!¡± Xiao Yifei suddenly woke up, the feeling of exhaustion spreading through his limbs. He was both hungry and thirsty. Struggling, he climbed off the bed and scrounged around the house to make himself a huge pot of noodles. Xiao Yifei sat in the cramped room starting to eat while he sorted through his condition. ¡°Clairvoyance seems to have certain limitations; it cannot be used indefinitely, and the ability to control objects with my mind consumes a huge amount of my energy,¡± he thought as he slurped a big mouthful of noodles. Picking up his phone to check the time, it was already 2 AM. It meant that since he had gotten home at 9 PM, he had slept for a total of four hours. After finishing a large pot of noodles, Xiao Yifei felt strength return to his body. He stood up, deciding to test his superpower again. He could not rest easy without understanding this issue. He concentrated on his palm, watching as his own skin and bones slowly became clear, like lifting a thin veil. ¡°Clairvoyance is working, and I don¡¯t feel very uncomfortable. It seems I can use this superpower every day, though there might be a limit on the number of uses per day; I¡¯m not sure of the exact number yet, but it¡¯s reassuring to know I can use it daily,¡± Xiao Yifei slowly concluded about his superpower. Perhaps because he had just woken up, Xiao Yifei wasn¡¯t very sleepy. He frowned and thought for a while before pulling his battered laptop from the bedside, plugging it in, and turning it on. At first, he searched on the search engines for anything about the mysterious happenings regarding himself, to no avail. Then, Xiao Yifei logged into the Shangjing Hospital website using his doctor¡¯s credentials and accessed the hospital¡¯s intranet. He opened a few posts on the medical forum, read through several with wildly exaggerated headlines but dull content, and was about to shut down the computer to rest. Suddenly, Xiao Yifei remembered the structure inside Sun Yun¡¯s brain he had seen at the hotel. The vivid scenes were still etched in his mind. His eyes sparkled. His fingers glided over the keyboard, and a post entitled ¡°Several Speculations Arising from Cranial Structures and Brain Configurations¡ªOn Brain Control¡± gradually took shape under Xiao Yifei¡¯s hands. Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes shone. He recalled the coma caused by the blood clot compressing the nerve, how he had used his superpower to move the clot and let Sun Yun slip into unconsciousness but still maintain awareness, and remembered the extraordinarily clear brain circuitry. The brain, this incredibly mysterious area, often regarded as God¡¯s domain, slowly became clear under Xiao Yifei¡¯s hands. His fingers rapidly tapped on the keyboard; a whole new paper was about to take form. ¡°Buzz buzz buzz¡± Just then, Xiao Yifei¡¯s phone suddenly vibrated, indicating a new message. Xiao Yifei lifted his eyes and glanced at the time on the computer beneath it, 3:15 AM. Who would message him at this time? Xiao Yifei was somewhat curious. Picking up his phone, Sun Yun¡¯s username ¡°Aquamist¡± was flashing. With curiosity, Xiao Yifei opened Sun Yun¡¯s message. ¡°Idiot, I really miss you, I truly do. Only today did I realize your worth, nothing compares to you. Wang Zicong doesn¡¯t want me anymore, he drove me out. It¡¯s now 4:30 AM, I am on Wu Lake Road, can you come pick me up? I want to be with you!¡± ¡°So quick to sober up, it seems the brain is really quite wondrous!¡± Xiao Yifei muttered to himself, according to his assumption, Sun Yun would have been unconscious for at least two days. Holding his phone, Xiao Yifei felt somewhat dazed, ¡°Idiot,¡± such a familiar nickname. In college, Sun Yun always affectionately called him ¡°Idiot.¡± Memories of the past slowly surged in Xiao Yifei¡¯s heart. Xiao Yifei fell silent. ¡°Stand still and wait for me there, I¡¯ll be right there.¡± He composed this message, took a deep breath, and sent it; sending the message, Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes held a heart-wrenching sadness. Seeing that the message had been successfully sent on his phone, a smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Yifei¡¯s face. He nonchalantly threw his phone onto the bed, stretched lazily, and continued to focus intently on the unfinished paper on his computer. ¡°Just you wait!¡± Xiao Yifei smirked mischievously. It was said that on that day, Sun Yun waited all night for Xiao Yifei. Weak from her recent discharge from the hospital, she ended up back in the hospital yet again. At 4:30 AM, Xiao Yifei typed the last character on his computer, and his paper finally took shape under his hands. He exhaled deeply, his gaze conflicted as he looked at the ¡°Submit Post¡± button. Remembering the complicated affairs in the hospital, and knowing that his ID ¡°Xiao Yifei is not an official doctor¡± seemed so glaring, he was aware that the controversial content in his post would spark debates. Sighing softly, Xiao Yifei ultimately chose to submit anonymously, and this paper, eventually holding significant weight in the medical community, appeared quietly in the ¡°Medical Talks¡± section of Shangjing Hospital. After posting, thinking about the busy day ahead, Xiao Yifei decided to grab any bit of rest he could. Tomorrow would be his first day as an official doctor, and he had to deliver an appointment report, definitely a tough challenge. With this in mind, Xiao Yifei hurriedly lay down on his bed, turned off the light, and went to sleep. Chapter 16 - 16 16 Overt Conflict and Covert Struggle ?16: Chapter 16 Overt Conflict and Covert Struggle 16: Chapter 16 Overt Conflict and Covert Struggle Shangjing Hospital was able to become one of the best hospitals in Huaxia, not just because of its superb medical equipment and a large group of outstanding doctors, but also because of its so-called ¡°Medical Seminar¡± system. Held every three months, the seminar would summarize the quarter¡¯s work and discuss medical issues related to that period. Of course, as in any hospital, where there are people, there is strife, and factional struggles within Shangjing Hospital were all too common. Thus, the quarterly medical seminars also became the perfect opportunity for factions to suppress one another. Most doctors, influenced by the prevailing culture, were not clean; taking kickbacks, accepting red envelopes, bullying newcomers¡ªcorrupt practices were very common. Nangong Yun, who had returned from studying abroad, detested such behaviors, but despite her desire for change, she was powerless. She had published some well-known papers and her medical expertise was considerable, but her seniority was lacking and she didn¡¯t have the kind of decisive influence. If not for some power wielded by Nangong Yun¡¯s father, she, who viewed evil as a sworn enemy, would have likely been ousted from Shangjing Hospital long ago. So, Nangong Yun was weak; this was something Xiao Yifei only realized when he attended the Medical Seminar as an official doctor for the first time. This seminar was not attended by Director Fang Yuan who, along with other senior hospital officials, was on an inspection trip in the United States, leaving Ning Yun and two other deputy directors seated at the leadership table. ¡°Next, we invite Doctor Xiao Yifei, who has been granted the title of resident by Deputy Director Nangong Yun herself, to deliver his inaugural speech,¡± Deputy Director Wu Shancong said with a smile from the podium. Scattered applause rose from the floor, while most doctors looked on with indifference. Logically speaking, someone who had just earned the change in official doctorate status should not be eligible to speak at Shangjing Hospital¡¯s Medical Seminar. However, for reasons unknown, Xiao Yifei had this privilege, and in Wu Shancong¡¯s words, the phrase ¡°especially approved by Deputy Director Nangong Yun¡± was emphasized with greater intonation. Wang Changping sat below, clapping heartily. Nangong Yun had originally intended to have Xiao Yifei introduce the seemingly miraculous effects of Chinese Medicine during his inauguration, to tell everyone that medicine needs to be inclusive. However, when Wang Changping told Wu Shancong that Xiao Yifei¡¯s promotion was specially approved by Nangong Yun, everything changed. Xiao Yifei became a direct affiliate of Nangong Yun, and Nangong Yun allowing Xiao Yifei to deliver a speech on stage was tantamount to provoking the corrupt forces! It also meant thrusting Xiao Yifei into the eye of the storm¡ªa lethal boost! Nangong Yun¡¯s eyes were filled with worry; suddenly, she wondered if she had harmed Xiao Yifei. In fact, as soon as Xiao Yifei entered the conference hall, he had sensed the unfriendly atmosphere. But then again, what was there to fear for a doctor who had acquired the superpower of X-ray vision? Xiao Yifei yawned, stepped onto the podium, and took out a crumpled speech that he had just found on Baidu that morning from his pocket. He began to read listlessly from the worn paper. ¡°Is this the best Nangong Yun can find to hold the fort? This is just too bad!¡± Seeing Xiao Yifei¡¯s performance on stage, listless and lacking any hint of confidence, Wu Shancong couldn¡¯t help but sneer inside. ¡°Pfft,¡± the other deputy director sitting next to Wu Shancong, Li Entang, let out a laugh and quietly said to him, ¡°I remember this paper; it was written by one of my disciples. To think that Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t bother to change it and just dared to use it as is. He lacks talent but certainly not boldness.¡± The two exchanged a smile. The Xiao Yifei that Nangong Yun had brought in was negligible, indicating that Nangong Yun herself had become inconsequential. Nangong Yun, watching Xiao Yifei¡¯s lackadaisical performance on stage, let out a sigh of relief. In her mind, Xiao Yifei was not such a person, and his performance must be due to his clear sense of the odd atmosphere on stage, a way to cope with the lethal boost¡ªso Nangong Yun thought. But this time, Nangong Yun was mistaken. Xiao Yifei¡¯s listlessness was due to his fatigue! He had gone to bed late the night before and was extremely sleepy that morning. The reason for using that paper was the lack of time to write his own, hastily finding something to get by. Truth be told, Xiao Yifei was quite happy to become an official doctor. ¡°...So, I will become an exemplary doctor.¡± Xiao Yifei read the last word listlessly, bowed to everyone, and stepped down from the stage. ¡°Good, good, good, Doctor Xiao Yifei¡¯s inauguration report was really quite splendid.¡± Wu Shancong smiled and led the applause, prompting most of the doctors in the room to start clapping as well. Nangong Yun¡¯s coldly beautiful face nodded silently, thinking to herself that even though Xiao Yifei had used this tactic to deal with the flattery, ¡°But from now on, if he¡¯s not one of my people, he will have to be. That¡¯s fine because I actually quite admire Xiao Yifei. Next up is the job assignment, and unless there¡¯s a surprise, it should be in surgery, which is just perfect, as surgery falls under my jurisdiction, and I can take extra care of her.¡± Xiao Yifei walked down from the podium, found his seat, and sat down, squinting his eyes as he began to feel drowsy. ¡°From Doctor Xiao Yifei¡¯s inauguration report, it¡¯s clear he¡¯s an ambitious person! Our hospital is in need of young people with dreams and aspirations! You were originally assigned to surgery, but since Doctor Xiao Yifei is so eager, let¡¯s make a small adjustment. How about you go to emergency?¡± Wu Shancong¡¯s tone shifted, signaling a change in Xiao Yifei¡¯s job placement. The moment Xiao Yifei heard this, his eyes flew open. Before he could speak, Nangong Yun interjected, ¡°Vice President Wu, I have familiarized myself with Comrade Xiao Yifei. Not only did he study surgery in college, but he has also been working in surgery since joining our hospital. A sudden transfer might not be advisable.¡± Nangong Yun, somewhat anxious and speaking hurriedly, revealed her lack of cunning. How could Nangong Yun like this outwit seasoned foxes like Wu Shancong? ¡°Hey, Xiao Yun, you¡¯re not quite right there. Young people should embrace challenges; that¡¯s how they improve. Don¡¯t you think so?¡± Wu Shancong said to Nangong Yun with a beaming smile. Li Entang also chimed in at this point, ¡°Right, Vice President Nangong, I think what Old Wu says makes sense. Xiao Yifei seems very promising, and he should be given plenty of opportunities to hone his skills.¡± ¡°But... but...¡± Nangong Yun wanted to say more, considering the emergency department is the frontline facing patients directly, a place that tests a doctor¡¯s professional qualities the most, where conflicts are most likely to erupt, accidents most likely to occur, and most crucially, not within her jurisdiction. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Vice President Nangong! I can handle it! Trust me!¡± Xiao Yifei, seeing the two old men bully Nangong Yun into speechlessness, felt some indignation and gave her a reassuring look before speaking up. ¡°Haha! Xiao Yun, look, Xiao Yifei has agreed, so no need for you to say more. It¡¯s decided, then. Young people are really confident! That¡¯s great!¡± Wu Shancong, with his deep political savvy, casually set the matter in stone. Chapter 17 - 17 17 Huge Changes ?17: Chapter 17 Huge Changes 17: Chapter 17 Huge Changes Nangong Yun opened her mouth, but said nothing more. Xiao Yifei still looked sleepy, but occasionally, when no one else noticed, a sharp glint flickered in his eyes. ¡°Xiao Yifei looks like a spent force. Why toss him into Emergency, where troubles abound? That¡¯s practically a death sentence! Shancong, when did your heart turn so dark?¡± Li Entang whispered to Wu Shancong by his ear. ¡°Ha, it¡¯s because Little Wang called me. I have no idea how Xiao Yifei managed it, but in his short time at the hospital, he¡¯s already offended so many. And now, with this conference being attributed to Nangong Yun¡¯s faction, how is he supposed to cope in the future!¡± Wu Shancong smacked his lips as he replied. In the minds of Wu Shancong and Li Entang, Xiao Yifei was nothing more than a tiny ant, easily crushed. The rest of the meeting had little to do with Xiao Yifei and went on slowly as he remained drowsy. After the meeting, half a day had passed, and in the end, Xiao Yifei was assigned to the emergency department, becoming a doctor there. While everyone gradually left to eat after the meeting ended, Nangong Yun stopped Xiao Yifei. Her usually frosty face showed a hint of embarrassment for the first time, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, not only was I unable to keep you in the surgery department, but this meeting has also implicated you, leading others to believe we¡¯re aligned. Your days ahead might be tough, and for that, I owe you an apology.¡± Xiao Yifei looked at Nangong Yun in surprise, not expecting an apology from the vice-director of such a large hospital. What warmed his heart was that Nangong Yun was genuinely, sincerely apologizing, not just making a perfunctory gesture. Xiao Yifei smiled lightly, ¡°What¡¯s there to apologize for? No matter how tough the days ahead are, they¡¯ll still be better than my internship period.¡± As he said this, Xiao Yifei paused, his eyes landing on the kind woman before him. His heart skipped a beat and, seized by a whim, he said playfully, ¡°Besides, I¡¯ve always been ¡®yours.¡¯ There¡¯s no mistake about it. I belong to you, and you should trust me.¡± After speaking, Xiao Yifei even mischievously winked at Nangong Yun. Nangong Yun stopped in her tracks, her recently embarrassed face now expressionless. She fixed her gaze on Xiao Yifei, ¡°You get this one chance to joke with me. I¡¯ll forgive you this time, but if you talk to me like that again, you¡¯ll owe me a 5,000-word self-criticism!¡± Having said that, Nangong Yun left without hesitation, her high heels clicking away, leaving Xiao Yifei with the view of her graceful back. Out of Xiao Yifei¡¯s sight, Nangong Yun¡¯s face was already flushed with embarrassment, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why do I feel embarrassed in front of Xiao Yifei! This is so humiliating!¡± Xiao Yifei watched Nangong Yun¡¯s retreating figure and smirked, ¡°That¡¯s it? She just walks away? With her striking beauty and that fiery figure, to be so icy is simply a waste of Heavenly Objects!¡± If it weren¡¯t for the need to conserve his Clairvoyance, Xiao Yifei might have indulged in his mischievous thoughts once again. Xiao Yifei packed up his things simply and headed down to the first floor¡¯s emergency department to take up his new position. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m the new resident doctor in the Emergency Department, Xiao Yifei.¡± Carrying his bag, Xiao Yifei stood at the door of the emergency department¡¯s doctors¡¯ office and knocked. The door wasn¡¯t closed, so Xiao Yifei could clearly see two doctors inside, a younger and an older one, engrossed in conversation. Their discussion was interspersed with comments like, ¡°This is really a novel point of view,¡± ¡°Whoever wrote this must be quite capable,¡± and ¡°It might be the work of some department head.¡± Upon his knocking, the two doctors paused their conversation, and the younger one frowned. Chen Xusheng was the Chief of the Emergency Department, nearing the venerable age of seventy, highly skilled in medicine, and of upright character. He had quite a reputation in the hospital. The young doctor, named Zhou Yuan, was, like Xiao Yifei, a resident in the Emergency Department. ¡°Come in!¡± With liver spots already on his face, Chen Xusheng said gleefully to his grandson Xiao Yifei. Although his impression of Xiao Yifei was not favorable at the seminar, the kind-hearted Chen Xusheng bore no malice towards Xiao Yifei and still treated him very warmly. Zhou Yuan, however, just cast a cold glance at Xiao Yifei, did not say a word, and lowered his head to his book again. ¡°Thank you, Director Chen.¡± Xiao Yifei grinned at Chen Xusheng and carried his bag into the office. ¡°Are all the procedures taken care of?¡± Chen Xusheng called out to Xiao Yifei, and upon learning that Xiao Yifei had completed all the procedures, he cheerfully pointed to an empty desk and said, ¡°See that? That¡¯s going to be your desk from now on. I¡¯ve got it ready for you, and my office is next door. If there¡¯s anything you need, come find me.¡± ¡°Sure! Thank you, Director Chen!¡± Xiao Yifei felt warm inside from Chen Xusheng¡¯s care for him. ¡°Xiao Yifei, this is Zhou Yuan, also a doctor in our Emergency Department. You¡¯ll be working together from now on, so it¡¯s good to get to know each other.¡± Chen Xusheng said to Xiao Yi with a smile, then turned to face Zhou Yuan: ¡°Zhou, take some time to get to know Xiao Yifei. I need to hurry to a meeting.¡± ¡°All right, take care, Director Chen,¡± Zhou Yuan said with a smile. Watching Chen Xusheng slowly leave the office, Zhou Yuan¡¯s expression suddenly turned cold, and he cast a dismissive glance at Xiao Yifei, murmuring, ¡°They are cramming all sorts of things into our emergency room, really not ashamed at all.¡± Xiao Yifei, with acute hearing, caught this remark and frowned at Zhou Yuan, ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°Tsk.¡± Zhou Yuan let out a scornful noise, walked past Xiao Yifei, and seeing that Xiao Yifei did not seem like an easy target, Zhou shrank back. Xiao Yifei shook his head and began arranging his belongings on the empty desk. Once he had settled in, Xiao Yifei, sitting in front of the computer, remembered the post he had published on the Shangjing Hospital¡¯s intranet forum the previous night. So, he turned on the computer, intending to log into the intranet to see the reactions to his post, but he found that this new computer assigned to him could not access the internet. After busying himself for a while, Xiao Yifei had no choice but to give up. However, what Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t know was that his post had already caused an uproar on the Shangjing Hospital forum! The first to discover this post was a young doctor from the Neurology Department of Shangjing Hospital named Zhang Wencai. Like other young people, he was not fond of dry academic papers. Being single and wanting to find a girlfriend, he believed that sharing common interests was the foundation for a future relationship. Zhang Wencai enjoyed browsing the hospital¡¯s intranet forum aimlessly. That very morning, he had clicked on the ¡°Big Talk Medicine¡± section of Shangjing Hospital¡¯s intranet forum and stumbled upon an anonymously published article, ¡°A Few Speculations Arising from Cranial Structure and Brain Anatomy¡ªOn the Brain¡¯s Control.¡± At first, he wondered which bored clickbaiter had posted such a vacuous topic to the ¡°Big Talk Medicine¡± section, meant for tall tales and casual chats. But this notion drastically shifted the moment he opened the post! Chapter 18 - 18 18 None of My Business ?18: Chapter 18: None of My Business 18: Chapter 18: None of My Business Embracing the intent of rebuking the original poster, Zhang Wencai clicked on the post. Upon seeing the lengthy and abundant text, Zhang Wencai felt overwhelmed as he disliked such verbose and stuffy writings. However, committed to being a quality internet user, he was determined to find a reason to criticize the author if he was to rebuke at all, so he patiently read on. Since Zhang Wencai happened to specialize in neurology and was quite confident in his expertise, he readied himself to critique an article daring to tackle the massive subject of ¡°brain control.¡± After finishing the first paragraph, Zhang Wencai silently remarked that it was interesting. There were no major issues in the first segment, and it was written with reason and evidence. ¡°The author seems to have put some thought into this. The structure of the brain is clearly introduced. But, what¡¯s the use of presenting such basic knowledge so clearly?¡± Zhang Wencai mutely pondered. However, as Zhang Wencai reached the second paragraph, his eyes suddenly narrowed because he saw something different. He also realized the author wasn¡¯t just shooting in the dark; even their writing style was exceptionally good. The brain, a mysterious organ, was explained clearly using simple and engaging language. When he reached the third paragraph, Zhang Wencai was completely immersed, shocked by various viewpoints introduced in the article. Although some statements vastly differed from what he had learned, as a neurologist, the article left him tremendously astounded. Furthermore, what this article brought to Zhang Wencai was no longer just astonishment. The views on controlling human behaviors through different brain structures left him shivering. He had never imagined encountering a paper in the Shangjing Hospital¡¯s online forum ¡°Medical Musings¡± that could merit publication in the esteemed journal ¡°Medical.¡± Initially, he had even intended to criticize it! Zhang Wencai couldn¡¯t help but feel ashamed of his initial thoughts. ¡°Worshipping the original poster! Utter admiration! The poster is truly a genius! To think we have such an incredible person at Shangjing Hospital!¡± After his shock, Zhang Wencai promptly left his admiring comments below the post. Then, he immediately took out his phone and called his mentor, Associate Professor in Neurology, Wu Sheng. ¡°Professor Wu! Quickly check our internal network! Go to the forum, and don¡¯t ask why! Just find a post titled ¡®Discussion on Brain Control¡¯ in the ¡®Medical Musings¡¯ section. Don¡¯t mind why it¡¯s posted in such a casual section¡ªgo and see, it¡¯s truly impressive! There are some points that I think only you could critique! It¡¯s incredibly brilliant! Just look, and you¡¯ll understand!¡± After his enthusiastic call to Wu Sheng, Zhang Wencai remained elated, unable to calm himself as he revisited the paper that could pioneer a new research direction in neurology, once again offering his sincere reverence. Soon after, Zhang Wencai found a new comment below the article. ¡®Old Wu also plays in forums¡¯: ¡°The poster¡¯s paper is reasoned, meaningful, and even possibly a divergent guide for the development of neurology. Truly admirable and indeed a virtuoso. Still, I wish to know the anonymous poster from our Shangjing Hospital; I hope we can meet to discuss further!¡± Seeing this reply, Zhang Wencai was even more surprised because that forum ID undeniably belonged to his teacher Wu Sheng. Knowing that Wu Sheng, a person known for his thoroughness, replied with such respect, Zhang Wencai realized that this article might be even more brilliant than he had imagined. With the response, Xiao Yifei¡¯s post was pushed to the top of the list and viewed by many more people. Meanwhile, Wu Sheng also informed more people about this post. Within less than a day, the post rapidly gained popularity. Being in the professionally intensive environment of Shangjing Hospital¡¯s internal network, the impact the post made on everyone grew swiftly. ¡°Phenomenal poster! To know every nuance of the inner brain structures, details that even a brain CT scan can¡¯t detect! I wonder how many dissections the poster performed to achieve such results!¡± ¡°While I disagree with some of the poster¡¯s viewpoints, I must admit the poster¡¯s professionalism. He indeed opened a new door for me.¡± ¡°Awesome! Poster, you are truly impressive, how do you come up with such ideas? Most importantly, your arguments are convincing, and I deeply admire you!¡± Consecutive shocked and amazed replies quickly multiplied under the post, increasing its influence. Everyone¡¯s curiosity about this mysterious anonymous author intensified, as any doctor capable of writing such a thesis had to be exceptional! Initially, people suspected the Associate Professor of Neurology at Shangjing Hospital, Wu Sheng, but the post receipt of comments including a reply from Wu Sheng made everyone even more astonished! Shangjing Hospital¡¯s top expert in neurology, Associate Professor Wu Sheng, wasn¡¯t the author; then who could possibly have the capability to write such a meticulously researched post! In the third hour, numerous doctors attracted by the fame elevated the post high on the homepage. In the fourth hour, the head of Shangjing Hospital¡¯s Gynecology Department, Wang Shan, appeared personally and moved the post to the restricted ¡®Scripture Pavilion¡¯ section for everyone¡¯s reference. By the fifth hour, due to the tremendous chain reaction, the whole Shangjing Hospital and even Yanjing¡¯s medical community caught wind of it, compelling Wang Shan to temporarily lock the thread and ban responses while also urgently convening a major meeting of hospital chiefs and investigating the back-end IP address of the post. To prevent any exterior medical community from discovering the incident, during the subsequent emergency meeting, everyone was issued a gag order by Deputy Director Nangong Yun, who was present, emphasizing theory. All efforts were to ensure that this admired author of the post remained at Shangjing Hospital and wasn¡¯t poached by other hospitals. Chen Xusheng had just gone to attend this meeting in a hurry. Meanwhile, at the center of the storm, Xiao Yifei was extraordinarily calm, lazily dozing off at his desk, completely unaware of the turmoil his post had stirred. At that moment, Xiao Yifei was still in the Emergency Department, a newly appointed resident doctor, being ridiculed as a useless nobody. Chapter 19 - 19 19 Arrogant and Domineering ?19: Chapter 19 Arrogant and Domineering 19: Chapter 19 Arrogant and Domineering ¡°What are you doing just sitting there? Did we bring you to the emergency department just to slack off and doze off?¡± Xiao Yifei, who was squinting at his desk, glanced sideways at Zhou Yuan, who was looking at him with a furious face, and couldn¡¯t help but snicker, ¡°If I remember correctly, shouldn¡¯t you be the one on duty right now, according to the schedule? Why aren¡¯t you working properly and instead just staring at me?¡± ¡°I came back to have a drink and saw you slacking off! Let me tell you, Xiao Yifei! The emergency department isn¡¯t a place for you to idle your days away! If you keep lazing around like this, I¡¯m going to report it to Director Chen! Our emergency department doesn¡¯t need someone who¡¯s just waiting to die!¡± Zhou Yuan berated Xiao Yifei furiously. In the emergency room, before Xiao Yifei arrived, Zhou Yuan had been the lone young doctor. Director Chen Xusheng had been quite protective of Zhou Yuan, who, being narrow-minded, felt that the emergency department was his turf. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yifei was suddenly parachuted into the emergency department, which gave Zhou Yuan an instant feeling of crisis, and Nangong Yun¡¯s obvious favoritism towards Xiao Yifei added to Zhou Yuan¡¯s jealousy. However, Xiao Yifei¡¯s performance at the seminar made Zhou Yuan think of him as an easy target. Xiao Yifei¡¯s listless and indifferent demeanor at the seminar made Zhou Yuan contemptuous of him, so in Zhou Yuan¡¯s mind, Xiao Yifei was someone he could bully at will. In front of Xiao Yifei, Zhou Yuan felt he could be vindictive. ¡°Is something wrong with your head? It¡¯s my first day here; what do you expect me to do? Why aren¡¯t you doing your duty and instead babbling at me?¡± Xiao Yifei responded with furrowed brows. ¡°So what if it¡¯s the first day? What about the first day? If you don¡¯t know what to do, can¡¯t you sweep the floor or wipe the table? Just waiting around to die and still so full of excuses?¡± Zhou Yuan hadn¡¯t expected Xiao Yifei to talk back, and that made him even angrier¡ªso angry that he was shaking. Without another word, Xiao Yifei simply squinted his eyes and started to rest, completely ignoring Zhou Yuan. ¡°You! You! You just wait...¡± Zhou Yuan pointed at Xiao Yifei, too angry to speak. ¡°Ring ring ring...¡± The office phone suddenly rang piercingly. The lethargic Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes snapped open, and a sharp light flashed through them. Generally speaking, the office phone wouldn¡¯t ring unless it was an emergency. Its ringing meant there was a patient in critical condition! ¡°Hello, emergency room!¡± Xiao Yifei, who picked up the phone, seemed to transform into a different person; his lethargy vanished, replaced by a confident, energized Xiao Yifei. ¡°Where is the doctor on duty? Please come to the resuscitation room immediately. We have a critically ill patient!¡± Wu Rui spoke somewhat anxiously on the phone. The person brought in by the ambulance was covered in blood, eyes rolled back, hands reaching unconsciously towards the sky, body convulsing nonstop! The situation looked extremely urgent, yet at such a critical moment, there was no doctor on duty in the consultation room. Even though she was just a junior nurse, Wu Rui was also quite angry. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be right there!¡± Xiao Yifei swiftly hung up the phone, grabbed his white coat from the hanger, and dashed towards the emergency room. ¡°Hey you!¡± Zhou Yuan, completely ignored by Xiao Yifei, watched him leave, dumbfounded, and then hurriedly followed him. ¡°What¡¯s going on! The patient¡¯s already rolling their eyes back, and there¡¯s not a single doctor in the duty room!¡± Wu Rui, a standard southern belle, petite and pretty, was especially caring towards her patients as a nurse. Annoyed that there was no doctor in the duty room and worried about delaying treatment, her pretty little face puffed up adorably in anger. Seeing a tall, handsome new doctor she had never met before approaching her, Wu Rui couldn¡¯t help but voice a few complaints, and then she saw the tall, handsome new doctor give her an apologetic smile. The warm eyes of the handsome new doctor made Wu Rui¡¯s cheeks suddenly flush with warmth, and her heartful of complaints vanished. She knew that this new doctor¡¯s last name was Xiao, and his reputation wasn¡¯t the best, but she couldn¡¯t help feeling a sense of fondness for this new, handsome doctor. ¡°Talk about the situation.¡± As they walked, Xiao Yifei inquired about the case. ¡°The patient is a female. According to her family, she was in a car accident on the way home. Besides some visible injuries on her body, her head received a heavy blow. She¡¯s a bit out of it right now.¡± With just a few words, Wu Rui provided a clear account of the patient¡¯s condition. Xiao Yifei listened silently, then looked up at the sign reading ¡®Emergency Room.¡¯ He took a deep breath, put on his mask, and pushed open the door to enter. After entering, Xiao Yifei immediately spotted the patient because, among the other quiet patients, she was the most agitated. Covered in blood, the restless patient was flailing her arms, shouting incoherently, her eyes rolling back in her head, always trying to get up but unable to, foam appearing at her mouth. Just as Xiao Yifei was observing the patient, Zhou Yuan also entered, and seeing Xiao Yifei standing by the critically ill patient, she rushed forward with the speed of an arrow. ¡°What¡¯s going on!¡± An anxious Zhou Yuan first pulled Xiao Yifei aside and then, with furrowed brows and an unfriendly tone, demanded, ¡°What¡¯s happening here? I¡¯m the duty doctor today. How come no one called me when a patient in such a critical condition arrived!¡± Wu Rui pouted, feeling a bit wronged, but she knew Doctor Zhou Yuan was used to throwing her weight around in the emergency department, so it was best not to offend her. Holding back her resentment, Wu Rui once again explained the situation to Zhou Yuan. Then, with watery, big eyes, she glanced at Xiao Yifei; this new doctor was not only good-natured but also handsome! ¡°The patient definitely has internal bleeding in the skull! Take her to the CT room for a scan to assess the injury.¡± Zhou Yuan quickly assessed the patient¡¯s situation, then gestured to the patient¡¯s family to take her for a brain CT scan. Afterward, she turned to Wu Rui and ordered, ¡°Contact neurology, get someone down here to see if surgery is needed!¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Wu Rui responded in a muted voice. After hastily directing the actions, Zhou Yuan felt a sense of control as she watched the patient¡¯s family push the gurney toward the CT room. That¡¯s when her eyes fell on Xiao Yifei, who stood to the side, deep in thought. ¡°You, what are you doing? The patient is in such a state, and you¡¯re just standing there dumbly. Go prepare for the patient¡¯s routine checks like blood sugar, and be quick about it!¡± Zhou Yuan commanded imperiously. Xiao Yifei raised his eyes to look at Zhou Yuan, with a smile that was not quite a smile. He ignored her; routine checks like blood sugar were done by the nurses and had nothing to do with Xiao Yifei! Seeing that Xiao Yifei hadn¡¯t moved, Zhou Yuan¡¯s anger flared up instantly, ¡°You do what I say! Thinking of slacking off? Dream on!¡± The discord in the emergency room quickly drew everyone¡¯s attention. Many people knew Zhou Yuan was not easy to provoke. On the contrary, they were not familiar with the new doctor, Xiao Yifei, and did not have high hopes for him confronting Zhou Yuan. Wang Xiu, who usually got along with Zhou Yuan and truly looked down on Xiao Yifei¡¯s seemingly inactive demeanor, sneered at him, ¡°Newcomers should follow the rules for newcomers. You¡¯d better do whatever Doctor Zhou asks.¡± After finishing her call, Wu Rui returned and overheard Wang Xiu¡¯s words. She felt indignant, her small chest heaving. Despite her petite stature, Wu Rui was by no means meek, ¡°Who says newcomers have to stick to newcomer rules? Doctor Xiao is not an intern, is he? Besides, Doctor Xiao was about to do something just now; he wasn¡¯t doing nothing!¡± Wang Xiu¡¯s brows furrowed. She and Wu Rui did not always get along, but she didn¡¯t expect Wu Rui to confront her head-on over this matter. ¡°How are you speaking? Doctor Zhou is still here! Are you suggesting that Doctor Zhou is not allowing the new doctor to work?¡± Wang Xiu¡¯s face changed, her eyes coldly fixed on Wu Rui and Xiao Yifei. Seeing that Wang Xiu was trying to drag Zhou Yuan into their argument, Wu Rui¡¯s tolerance reached its limit. She stood her ground, her beautiful eyes staring straight back at Wang Xiu, ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant at all!¡± Chapter 20 - 20 20 What Are You ?20: Chapter 20 What Are You? 20: Chapter 20 What Are You? Setting aside the squabble between the two nurses, the tension between Xiao Yifei and Zhou Yuan was slowly intensifying. ¡°Fine, just you wait there!¡± Zhou Yuan, arrogant as ever and facing Xiao Yifei who wasn¡¯t the least bit afraid of him, laughed bitterly in frustration as he viciously threatened, ¡°You dare to defy me? No one defies me! I can¡¯t wait to see if you can still act so tough when the time comes!¡± Xiao Yifei smiled and shook his head, then resumed his lazy pose, leaning against the wall, ¡°Save your energy, don¡¯t talk anymore. Wait for the patient to come back in a bit!¡± The others were very surprised by this scene. You must know, Zhou Yuan was heavily favored by the emergency department director, Chen Xusheng, and although Zhou Yuan liked to bully others, he was very clever in only bullying those without power and strength, the so-called easy targets. He behaved very well in front of those who were powerful, and was quite popular among the elders. Therefore, many medical staff without backing didn¡¯t dare to provoke Zhou Yuan, which only served to inflate his arrogance in the emergency department. ¡°Xiao Yifei is clearly guilty of some offense; he was just shoved into the emergency department. Why doesn¡¯t he keep a low profile upon arriving? He still has the temper to clash with Zhou Yuan!¡± ¡°That¡¯s not a temper, that¡¯s overestimation of one¡¯s own abilities! Haven¡¯t you heard? They say Xiao Yifei became a doctor only by hanging onto Nangong Yun¡¯s coattails! What ability can he have?¡± Listening to some people¡¯s whispered gossip below, Wu Rui¡¯s delicate face puffed up with anger as she was a bit upset why this crowd looked down on Xiao Yifei so much. Ever since the hospital seminar, because he had followed Nangong Yun and held a different stance, Xiao Yifei had already fallen out of favor with many people. Moreover, his perfunctory speech at the seminar made many people look down on him. So, at this point, except for Wu Rui who was somewhat supportive of Xiao Yifei, no one else wanted to speak up for him. The atmosphere in the emergency room suddenly became a bit awkward. Xiao Yifei was leaning against the wall in his lazy stance, and Wu Rui, who had just edged closer to Xiao Yifei with her small footsteps, now imitated his posture and leaned against the wall, clearly aligning herself with Xiao Yifei. Even when her colleagues, who had been on good terms with her, made eye contact with Wu Rui, she pretended not to see it. ¡°Even if Doctor Xiao¡¯s medical skill isn¡¯t outstanding, Xiao Yifei is trying to do well! I can tell! Being targeted by so many people must be very distressing for Xiao Yifei!¡± Wu Rui¡¯s eyes shone with a great radiance born of overflowing maternal love, and despite Xiao Yifei¡¯s bad reputation, Wu Rui had decided she would support Xiao Yifei! Zhou Yuan sat down, his gaze cold as he looked at Xiao Yifei and Wu Rui, pondering how to deal with the two. He did not pay much attention to the emergency patient who had just arrived. However, at that moment, the double doors to the emergency room opened, and Liu Jiao¡¯s husband returned with a look of urgency. Behind him, a blood-covered patient, Liu Jiao, was pushed back in by a porter. Liu Jiao was still restless, struggling with odd movements and babbling incoherently. The stains of blood were so strikingly visible, even the cart was smeared with traces of blood. ¡°Doctor! There¡¯s no way! The CT room doctor said my wife can¡¯t get a cranial CT!¡± The patient¡¯s husband looked at Zhou Yuan with despair, ¡°Doctor, please have a look quickly! Save my wife! Her condition looks much worse than before!¡± Zhou Yuan frowned deeply upon seeing this situation and muttered to himself, ¡°Impossible, how could it be impossible to do a CT?¡± ¡°Wait, I¡¯ll call the CT room.¡± He walked briskly to the phone, picked it up and said, ¡°Is this the CT room? What¡¯s going on? Why can¡¯t the patient have a CT?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve been a doctor for so long, don¡¯t you know a CT requires the patient to be still? The patient is obviously agitated due to a cerebral hemorrhage affecting her behavior. You sent her to the CT room without administering sedatives; how do you expect us to proceed?¡± The person at the other end of the phone from the CT room had an even bigger temper than Zhou Yuan, who immediately wilted. Faced with the CT room¡¯s inquiry, Zhou Yuan stammered out an excuse, hung up the phone, turned around in silence and injected Liu Jiao with a sedative. Liu Jiao now seemed a bit more calm but was still visibly agitated. After seeing the current situation, Zhou Yuan thought for a moment and then said to Liu Jiao¡¯s husband, ¡°Take her for the CT now, it should be possible at this point.¡± Seeing his wife in such pain, Wang Shuanhu was incredibly anxious, but the feeling of powerlessness surged through him in waves. Now, he could only trust in Zhou Yuan. With tearful eyes, Wang Shuanhu looked at Zhou Yuan, ¡°Doctor, please hurry, Liu Jiao looks much worse than before.¡± Zhou Yuan, without even glancing at Liu Jiao lying on the stretcher, waved his hand dismissively and said brusquely, ¡°Hurry and push her to the CT room for the scan!¡± Zhou Yuan was now seething with anger, blaming Liu Jiao for getting him in trouble with the CT room, and holding a grudge against Xiao Yifei, feeling that all these unfortunate events were because of him! Wang Shuanhu and the nurse rushed Liu Jiao out the door in a hurry. At that moment, the neurologist who had been alerted to come arrived, and quite coincidentally, it was Zhang Wencai, the very neurologist who first discovered the post made by Xiao Yifei! Zhang Wencai was not old, but having studied under the deputy professor of neurology, Wu Sheng, his medical skill was also very high. He could be considered a young prodigy in neurology, and Zhou Yuan always greeted such people with a smile. After smilingly explaining Liu Jiao¡¯s situation to Zhang Wencai, the two had a bit of a chat while waiting for the results of Liu Jiao¡¯s brain CT. ¡°So this is Xiao Yifei? He doesn¡¯t look like the incompetent fool the rumors make him out to be!¡± Zhang Wencai suddenly noticed Xiao Yifei wearing a white coat standing inside, he pointed with his hand and said to Zhou Yuan. ¡°What about being competent or not, he¡¯s just trash!¡± Zhou Yuan¡¯s mouth twitched with disdain. Zhang Wencai chuckled without saying anything. If talking about status, with his own ability, Zhang Wencai was not on the same level as Zhou Yuan anymore. As for Xiao Yifei, who had gained a bad reputation at the seminar, he had not even caught Zhang Wencai¡¯s eye. He also didn¡¯t realize that Xiao Yifei was the author of the post he deeply admired! Liu Jiao was brought back. At this point, Liu Jiao started convulsing non-stop, her eyes rolling back, having completely lost her own subjective consciousness. Simply put, her condition had worsened! Wang Shuanhu¡¯s eyes were already filled with blood vessels, the sense of urgency in his heart had completely set him ablaze, especially after seeing Liu Jiao¡¯s condition deteriorate, he felt as though he had lost himself! ¡°Doctor! Please hurry up!¡± Wang Shuanhu suppressed the rage in his heart and said to Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan, however, did not take it seriously. After receiving the CT scans handed over by Wang Shuanhu, Zhou Yuan was stunned, because Liu Jiao¡¯s situation was very grim! Looking at the scans, surgery was needed, but the problem was that for the surgery to be performed, the exact location of the bleeding needed to be precisely identified. A craniotomy was not a simple surgery. Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes, ¡°For this, you might need to do an angiography. Go on, take your wife back to the CT room again!¡± Wang Shuanhu, holding back anger, forced out a sentence through his teeth, ¡°The CT room just told me, if you want to do an angiography, let me tell you that angiography requires staying still for a long time, and with Liu Jiao¡¯s condition, it can¡¯t be done! Doctor, please resolve this issue for my wife immediately! Save her!¡± Zhou Yuan frowned with doubt, ¡°An angiography can¡¯t be done? How is that possible!¡± After speaking, Zhou Yuan seemed to remember something, lifted his eyes to give Wang Shuanhu a disdainful look, and said, ¡°Then you tell me, what should we do if the angiography can¡¯t be done!¡± Wang Shuanhu glanced sideways at the very weak Liu Jiao lying on the stretcher, and upon hearing Zhou Yuan¡¯s reply, the fury in his heart could no longer be contained. He rushed forward, raising his fist and charging towards Zhou Yuan, ¡°If I knew what to do, what would I need you for! If you don¡¯t properly treat my wife, she won¡¯t survive! I will kill you too!¡± And when Zhou Yuan saw Wang Shuanhu charging at him, he was stunned, because he had never expected a patient¡¯s family member to actually resort to violence in the emergency room, not until Wang Shuanhu¡¯s fist landed hard on his face and the pain hit him did Zhou Yuan come to his senses. Chapter 21 - 21 21 Dereliction of Duty ?21: Chapter 21: Dereliction of Duty 21: Chapter 21: Dereliction of Duty ¡°Ah! You dare to hit someone! Someone come quick! There¡¯s a fight!¡± Zhou Yuan, in pain, clutched his head and ran amok, letting out a piercing shriek, completely devoid of any dignity. Wang Shuanhu, meanwhile, was furiously chasing after Zhou Yuan with a determination as if he would not stop until one of them was dead! The emergency room was in chaos. Some nurses, seeing the conflict erupt, were afraid they might get involved and hastily retreated. The orderlies watched as the two men chased each other around the emergency room, utterly unsure of how they might stop Wang Shuanhu, who was like a furious bull. ¡°Wang Shuanhu! That¡¯s enough! This is an emergency room! It¡¯s not your home! Your wife is still lying there! If you continue to waste time, and something happens to Liu Jiao¡¯s life, you¡¯ll regret it!¡± A calm voice suddenly rose above the din of the noisy emergency room. It wasn¡¯t loud but carried an air of deterrence. Upon hearing Liu Jiao¡¯s name, Wang Shuanhu suddenly stopped. His emotions on the verge of collapse, he gasped for breath; after all, she was his wife! His beloved, he couldn¡¯t lose Liu Jiao! Xiao Yifei stepped out of a corner and walked steadily towards Wang Shuanhu, soothing his emotions, ¡°Wang Shuanhu, you have to understand, this is a hospital. Your wife has lost her consciousness, so she needs you to cooperate with the treatment. We know you must be very anxious facing this situation, but if you can¡¯t control your emotions, how can you properly care for your wife? If you don¡¯t cooperate with our work, how can we treat your wife¡¯s illness?¡± By the end, Xiao Yifei spoke with full confidence, ¡°You have to trust us, we are doctors, and we will do our utmost to save every patient!¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s speech gradually calmed Wang Shuanhu down. The emotionally unstable man squatted down, covering his face with his hands, ¡°I love my wife dearly! I can¡¯t lose her! I was truly scared when I saw her condition today. Liu Jiao doesn¡¯t even recognize people anymore! I just want you to definitely save Liu Jiao, but who knew that you wouldn¡¯t take her seriously at all!¡± At this point, Wang Shuanhu suddenly looked up, his eyes red, staring directly at Zhou Yuan, ¡°Especially you! Always so nonchalant! You never cared about Liu Jiao¡¯s life or death! Do you even deserve to be a doctor? Asking me what to do if the checkup can¡¯t be done, am I a doctor? If I were the doctor, what would I need you for? Hitting you! Not just hit you, I want to beat you to death!¡± Talking and talking, Wang Shuanhu¡¯s emotions seemed to get riled up again. He began to breathe heavily, his eyes locked on Zhou Yuan. Xiao Yifei glanced at Zhou Yuan and then turned back to speak to Wang Shuanhu, ¡°About doctors, well, there are good ones and bad ones...¡± Before Xiao Yifei could finish, Zhou Yuan rushed forward in a burst, pulling Xiao Yifei aside, ¡°What are you doing? You want to play the hero without doing anything?¡± Noticing that Wang Shuanhu had calmed down, he felt less frightened and saw that all eyes were focused on Xiao Yifei, Zhou Yuan¡¯s jealousy flared intensely. ¡°Xiao Yifei! Don¡¯t try to play the hero! I¡¯ve already called Director Chen! This patient is mine and Director Chen¡¯s! You just stand aside and watch!¡± Even now, Zhou Yuan was still concerned about his own face. ¡°What¡¯s going on! How did it become like this?¡± Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives, at this moment, Chen Xusheng came rushing in, he had received Zhou Yuan¡¯s call and hurried over immediately. ¡°Why is the patient like this!¡± Upon arriving, Chen Xusheng went straight to Liu Jiao on the gurney, now her aura had weakened, and even the spasms in her body had lessened. ¡°The situation is so critical! Why did you contact me only now!¡± Chen Xusheng immediately began to reprimand Zhou Yuan upon arrival, while Zhou Yuan still innocently cried out in protest, ¡°The patient¡¯s bleeding location couldn¡¯t be confirmed at all. Given the circumstances, imaging was necessary. I asked the patient¡¯s family to take the patient for brain imaging, but they said it couldn¡¯t be done! How can surgery be performed without the brain imaging?¡± ¡°You shut up!¡± Chen Xusheng roared in anger, his elderly face full of wrath. Zhou Yuan shrank back at Chen Xusheng¡¯s sudden outburst, but still pouted, wearing a look of indifference. At that moment, Zhang Wencai, who had been standing aside, sighed softly, ¡°Ah, the disease has been delayed too severely, what a delay!¡± ¡°First get on the ventilator, inject pressor agents, and maintain the patient¡¯s life signs!¡± Chen Xusheng began to command with efficiency, and after arranging things, he slowly turned around, picked up Liu Jiao¡¯s brain CT scan, and began to study it intently. After a moment of contemplation, the age spots on Chen Xusheng¡¯s face seemed to deepen. He first asked the people around if the imaging had not been done and, upon receiving confirmation, he turned to face Wang Shuanhu with a sigh. ¡°First of all, I must admit that due to our reasons, the patient¡¯s condition was delayed, making it more critical,¡± he said. Chen Xusheng gently lowered his head, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Upon hearing these words, Wang Shuanhu¡¯s eyes suddenly widened, and he burst out in frenzy again, ¡°What are you saying! Didn¡¯t you just tell us to trust in you doctors? How could it turn out like this now! I¡¯m telling you! If something happens to Liu Jiao today because of you! I¡¯ll make sure you all pay with your lives!¡± Chen Xusheng remained silent in face of Wang Shuanhu¡¯s crazed words. He could deceive the patient¡¯s family, but as a medical practitioner with both moral integrity and professional skills, Chen Xusheng couldn¡¯t deceive the patient in his heart, so he told the truth. ¡°The patient¡¯s condition is likely agitation caused by a large cerebral hemorrhage pressing on the nerves. If we can¡¯t stop the bleeding inside the skull in time, it could cause paralysis. Indeed, brain imaging is needed to determine the location of the bleeding, so that surgery can be precise. But because of the patient¡¯s agitation, the brain imaging could not be carried out. The protocol would have been to sedate the patient with Ativan and then maintain life signs. However,¡± At this point, Chen Xusheng looked up at Zhou Yuan, his eyes filled with deep disappointment, and continued, ¡°Due to our mistakes, the disease was delayed and worsened. If nothing unexpected happens, according to the patient¡¯s current reactions, the internal bleeding has become more severe. This is a serious dereliction of our duty. I sincerely apologize, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Chen Xusheng, well in his years, said slowly with his head lowered, his eyes full of regret and sorrow that could not be concealed, touching one¡¯s heart inexplicably. ¡°What! Even you can¡¯t handle it, Director Chen? How could this be! I was just following the procedure! Are you saying it¡¯s my fault? What did I do? How can even you not have a solution, Director Chen!¡± Zhou Yuan finally realized the seriousness of the problem, yet he continued to look for an opportunity to exonerate himself. Chen Xusheng lifted his head to look at Zhou Yuan, then turned his gaze to Xiao Yifei, standing in the shadows. He shook his head, suddenly feeling how unreliable it was to entrust the future of the emergency department to these young people. ¡°It¡¯s so unfair! Director Chen is so old, yet he has to pay for Zhou Yuan¡¯s mistake. Why should he!¡± Standing beside Xiao Yifei, Wu Rui clenched her small fists tightly, speaking indignantly. Chapter 22 - 22 22 There is Still Hope ?22: Chapter 22: There is Still Hope 22: Chapter 22: There is Still Hope ¡°Stop telling me that useless stuff! You are doctors! You should be treating the illness right away! Hurry up! Otherwise, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± The helpless Wang Shuanhu now seemed to only be able to threaten the doctors in front of him using the feeble language of killing, as he furiously yelled, ¡°Who just said there was still time? Didn¡¯t you ask me to trust you? How could he also deceive me! I said none of you doctors are good! I was too lenient on you just now! You should be killed!¡± At the critical moment of his wife¡¯s life-threatening situation, Wang Shuanhu finally broke down. He cried and made a scene, making it hard to imagine that such a grown man could behave this way! Hearing Wang Shuanhu¡¯s words, Chen Xusheng looked towards the people in the emergency room unexpectedly, since it seemed that something unknown to him had happened just now. ¡°Just now, because of some reasons relating to Doctor Zhou Yuan, the family members caused a disturbance and hit people in the emergency room. Doctor Zhou Yuan got punched, and no one could stop him. It was Doctor Xiao Yifei who finally came forward and stabilized the situation.¡± Wu Rui noticed Chen Xusheng¡¯s surprise and stepped forward to whisper to him. Chen Xusheng looked at Xiao Yifei in astonishment, having not expected Xiao Yifei to not be as incompetent as imagined. Remembering Zhou Yuan¡¯s disappointing performance, Chen Xusheng suddenly thought that although Xiao Yifei was not currently very useful, training him for the future might not be a bad idea. ¡°Ah, it¡¯s too late now, we can only maintain the patient¡¯s life signs now. Surgery would still require brain imaging, but the patient¡¯s condition does not allow for brain imaging now, and by the time it could be done, the patient¡¯s body may not be able to handle it anymore.¡± Zhang Wencai came next to Chen Xusheng and quietly relayed this to Wang Shuanhu for Chen Xusheng. Hearing the response, Wang Shuanhu stood frozen as if struck by lightning. ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell me to trust you? Didn¡¯t you say you would do your utmost? How come I haven¡¯t seen any effort from you yet, and you¡¯ve so easily made conclusions about Liu Jiao?¡± Wang Shuanhu said softly, head bowed. Just as his words finished, he suddenly raised his head, grabbed a needle from the diagnostic rack, and charged towards Chen Xusheng! ¡°I¡¯ll kill you quacks! To accompany Liu Jiao in death!¡± With a heart-wrenching scream, Wang Shuanhu charged forward. Due to his speed, it just took a few blinks before Wang Shuanhu was close to Chen Xusheng, holding the sharp needle as he tried to stab Chen Xusheng! ¡°Wang Shuanhu! What are you doing!¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s roar pulled Wang Shuanhu¡¯s attention away from Chen Xusheng. Wang Shuanhu¡¯s blood-red eyes stared at Xiao Yifei: ¡°It was you! It was you who just asked me to trust you! I trusted you! But now! It¡¯s too late!¡± Wang Shuanhu turned his aim towards Xiao Yifei and charged aggressively. ¡°Wang Shuanhu, what are you doing! I¡¯m telling you! This is illegal! Although I can¡¯t cure your wife right now! We can still save her life! You need to calm down! Don¡¯t commit a huge mistake!¡± Chen Xusheng yelled as he saw Wang Shuanhu charging toward Xiao Yifei. ¡°I don¡¯t care! I will definitely kill you quacks! I¡¯ll face the consequences! After all, Liu Jiao can¡¯t be saved anymore!¡± Wang Shuanhu mumbled to himself, delirious like a walking corpse. He reached Xiao Yifei and raised the syringe high, but as he was about to forcefully stab downwards, he stopped. Because everyone present heard Xiao Yifei¡¯s confident voice: ¡°Who said it¡¯s too late?¡± A moment of lucidity suddenly appeared in Wang Shuanhu¡¯s crazed eyes as he stared straight at Xiao Yifei. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to kill us? Go ahead! Go ahead and see who can save Liu Jiao!¡± Xiao Yifei stared fearlessly at Wang Shuanhu, brimming with confidence. ¡°I won¡¯t kill you! If you really have a way to save Liu Jiao! Please, please go save her!¡± Wang Shuanhu ¡®plop¡¯ fell to his knees in front of Xiao Yifei, seemingly grasping at the last straw. Xiao Yifei shook his head, walked past the kneeling Wang Shuanhu, and under the watchful eyes of everyone present, approached Liu Jiao. ¡°Kid, you¡¯re pretty smart! Knowing to use this trick to stabilize the frenzied family member of the patient, but isn¡¯t it wrong to deceive him like this!¡± Chen Xusheng whispered to Xiao Yifei then suddenly shouted to Wang Xiu, who out of fear, had been standing near the door early on: ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to call the security at the door to control the situation quickly? Do you really want us to get killed?¡± Before Wang Xiu could respond. ¡°Huh? Director Chen, what are you talking about?¡± Xiao Yifei blinked his innocent eyes, puzzled as he looked at Chen Xusheng: ¡°What stabilize the situation, I really do have a way!¡± Chen Xusheng¡¯s eyes were wide as bells, he could not believe his ears: ¡°What are you saying? Are you joking?¡± You should know, the only way to save Liu Jiao now is to perform a craniotomy, and to perform it without being able to precisely locate the bleeding point is to joke with the patient¡¯s life. Liu Jiao¡¯s life can still be saved, with the worst case being her ending up in a vegetative state, but if you recklessly conduct the craniotomy to locate the bleeding point in such a delicate organ as the brain, that¡¯s simply courting death! Yet Xiao Yifei actually said he had a way, which made Chen Xusheng think it was utterly absurd! Zhang Wencai, who had been about to leave, heard Xiao Yifei¡¯s response and stopped in his tracks; he tilted his head to look at this doctor he had never seriously considered before. ¡°Are you out of your mind? Director Chen already said he can¡¯t do anything and now you jump out pretending to be a hero?¡± Zhou Yuan complained loudly at Xiao Yifei. ¡°Shut up! Now¡¯s not your time to speak! Scram to the side!¡± Xiao Yifei unmercifully yelled at Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan opened his mouth to retort but suddenly catching sight of Xiao Yifei¡¯s serious and authoritative eyes, he swallowed back his words. ¡°I am not joking, I am serious.¡± Xiao Yifei turned back to face Chen Xusheng, smiling as he spoke: ¡°The situation is already critical, I have no reason to joke! After all, this is a living life, I would not joke about a life.¡± Chen Xusheng still could not believe that Xiao Yifei had a solution to the brain issue, filled with skepticism, he asked: ¡°What way do you have?¡± Xiao Yifei looked straight at the increasingly weak Liu Jiao lying on the hospital bed and calmly said: ¡°I can pinpoint the bleeding location in Liu Jiao¡¯s brain.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Chen Xusheng, who had practiced medicine for half his life, was incredulous upon hearing that someone could pinpoint something inside the brain without high-tech assistance, and he was skeptical. ¡°Hmm.¡± Xiao Yifei kept his gaze fixed on Liu Jiao, gently nodding his head. ¡°No, no, this is too risky, I cannot trust you. If the surgery is not performed, at least her life can be spared. According to what you said, performing the surgery might cost her her life, and if that responsibility falls to you later, you won¡¯t be able to bear it.¡± Given Xiao Yifei¡¯s poor reputation and Chen Xusheng¡¯s lack of trust in Xiao Yifei¡¯s medical skills, not to mention remembering that Xiao Yifei was still being targeted in the hospital, if anything unexpected happened, the blame would certainly fall on Xiao Yifei. Out of his current fondness for Xiao Yifei, Chen Xusheng earnestly advised him, pleading with him not to be impulsive. Chapter 23 - 23 23 There are 2 brushes ?23: Chapter 23: There are 2 brushes 23: Chapter 23: There are 2 brushes Xiao Yifei shifted his gaze away from Liu Jiao and looked at Chen Xusheng, who wore a face of concern, and smiled as he said, ¡°Doctor Chen, I know you have my best interests at heart, but I truly believe I¡¯m capable of doing what I said I would. I wouldn¡¯t have said it if I weren¡¯t sure.¡± At that moment, Wang Shuanhu also walked over and stood beside Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei paused and then continued, ¡°People live their lives not just to survive. Liu Jiao¡¯s current condition allows her to cling to life, but what¡¯s the difference between living like a vegetative person and being dead? It¡¯s better to take a risk.¡± Xiao Yifei lifted his head, full of confidence, and said to Chen Xusheng, ¡°Besides, this isn¡¯t a blind gamble, I am quite confident.¡± Wu Rui, standing behind Xiao Yifei, watched his confident and spirited demeanor. Stars seemed to twinkle in her eyes as she thought how incredibly handsome Xiao Yifei looked at that moment! Chen Xusheng frowned in thought and seemed about to say something else when Wang Shuanhu stepped forward. ¡°I trust Doctor Xiao!¡± Wang Shuanhu said with full confidence as he looked toward Xiao Yifei, then lowered his head and whispered, ¡°Liu Jiao loves lively places; she herself would not want to be a vegetative person. Also, I apologize for causing a scene just now, I was too impulsive. I apologize to everyone; you¡¯re not like Zhou Yuan from before. You are good doctors, I was wrong to blame you. It¡¯s okay, just do your best without worries.¡± Chen Xusheng opened his mouth but said nothing since the patient had agreed, what reason did he have to object? However, Chen Xusheng did not yet know how much of a surprise this unfamiliar doctor, Xiao Yifei, could bring him. ¡°Alright then, since everyone agrees and there are no objections, let¡¯s get started!¡± Xiao Yifei smiled and clapped his hands to draw everyone¡¯s attention to himself. ¡°Since you all trust me, I have only one request, from now on, everyone must follow my commands!¡± At this point, Chen Xusheng seemed to have figured it out too. He may not understand how Xiao Yifei was going to proceed, but he felt he could lend a hand, ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s do as Doctor Xiao says. From here on, we¡¯ll follow his orders and assist.¡± Xiao Yifei smiled at Chen Xusheng and said, ¡°Thank you, Director Chen, for trusting me so much!¡± After saying this, Xiao Yifei turned around, and the moment he did, his presence underwent a sudden transformation, blending confidence with authority, giving Xiao Yifei a unique charm. ¡°Can someone please shave Liu Jiao¡¯s head and bring me a surgical marker now.¡± Xiao Yifei entered work mode, exuding a calming presence. The emergency room started running smoothly, with Xiao Yifei¡¯s presence inspiring confidence and stability among everyone. This scene made even Chen Xusheng internally take his hat off; he had underestimated Xiao Yifei. ¡°Call the surgery room on the seventh floor and inform them to prepare for the surgery soon.¡± Wu Rui nodded excitedly. She hadn¡¯t seen the emergency room work so cohesively in a long time, and she was thoroughly enjoying the atmosphere now. ¡°Give Liu Jiao another dose of sedative.¡± Under Xiao Yifei¡¯s leadership, the measures taken for Liu Jiao finally took effect, and her life signs stabilized. Seeing Liu Jiao¡¯s life signs becoming stable, the other medical staff all breathed a sigh of relief. Now, everyone¡¯s eyes were on Xiao Yifei to see what he would do next! Unruffled, Xiao Yifei approached Liu Jiao. He appeared composed, yet his focus was entirely sharp as his clairvoyant superpower came into play, his eyes, capable of seeing everything, had already seen through Liu Jiao¡¯s skull. Since Liu Jiao acquired clairvoyance, her memory had also become exceptionally outstanding, to the point where she could remember everything she saw. It was this incredible memory that allowed Xiao Yifei to clearly recall Sun Yun¡¯s brain structure and to write that article that shocked everyone. While human brains differ, they generally have more similarities than differences, which is why, once Xiao Yifei used her clairvoyance to penetrate Liu Jiao¡¯s skull and entered her cranial cavity, she could lay a better foundation for the judgments to come. ¡°The patient has consciousness disorders, and simultaneously, the patient¡¯s eyes have fixed gaze issues, determining this as thalamic hemorrhage.¡± Xiao Yifei murmured softly as she kept moving, her surgical marker pen gently making marks on Liu Jiao¡¯s shaved head as she moved. ¡°The patient shows symptoms of vomiting, along with the occurrence of epileptic symptoms, determining there is cerebral lobe hemorrhage.¡± As Xiao Yi continued to make marks on Liu Jiao¡¯s head, everyone below was dumbfounded¡ªher accurate judgments, her detailed understanding of pathology, this wasn¡¯t the performance of a clueless doctor who was merely getting by! Clearly, these were the judgments of an experienced neurosurgeon! ¡°Due to external force hitting the brain, it cannot be ruled out that there are cracks in the blood vessels.¡± Xiao Yifei was fully focused, her distinct fingers holding the surgical marker like a fluttering butterfly, and Xiao Yifei herself danced around Liu Jiao like a beautiful dancer, delightful to watch yet shocking! Precise! Too precise! Xiao Yifei¡¯s actions inevitably made everyone feel an illusion that the current Xiao Yifei was not an emergency room doctor, but a seasoned neurosurgeon! Watching Xiao Yifei¡¯s enjoyable performance around Liu Jiao, Zhang Wencai and Chen Xusheng gaped in astonishment. ¡°Little Zhang, do you understand all these conditions in the brain?¡± Chen Xusheng turned around in shock, blankly asking Zhang Wencai. Zhang Wencai equally surprised, ¡°Director Chen, I know the brain structure, but to be this precise, I really can¡¯t manage it...¡± ¡°You can¡¯t manage it either?¡± Chen Wencai murmured to himself, ¡°Could it be that our emergency department really stumbled upon a treasure this time?!¡± Suddenly, the two simultaneously thought of something and turned their heads to look at each other, exclaiming in unison, ¡°That article! Only that article has such detailed description of the brain!¡± ¡°Impossible! No way, no way!¡± Chen Xusheng shook his head repeatedly, ¡°That article couldn¡¯t have been written by him, he¡¯s too young, too inexperienced, he couldn¡¯t have written such a deep article. If he can perform like this, it only shows that he thoroughly read and seriously studied that article!¡± Chen Xusheng expressed profound shock, ¡°Xiao Yifei is truly a genius, just by studying he can remember so many complex details, his learning capability is really impressive! We underestimated him!¡± Zhang Wencai watched Xiao Yifei thoughtfully. ¡°Limb movements unconscious, bleeding in the shell nucleus of the brain, and extensive hemorrhage within the brain¡ªsurgery must be carried out promptly!¡± When Xiao Yifei, like walking in a leisurely courtyard, finally confirmed the last bleeding point, he slowly walked down, and at this moment, Xiao Yifei even possessed an amazing aura that Chen Xusheng felt somewhat oppressive, and he couldn¡¯t directly look at Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes, which seemed to flash with light. ¡°You must be the chief neurosurgeon, right?¡± Chapter 24 - 24 24 s Too Accurate ?24: 24 Chapters Too Accurate 24: 24 Chapters Too Accurate Xiao Yifei appeared relatively relaxed as he spoke to Zhang Wencai, looking as if the breeze was light and the clouds were calm¡ªseemingly not at all reflective of the terrifyingly accurate diagnosis he had just made, which demanded both mental and physical prowess. Yet, behind Xiao Yifei, accurate and precise bleeding points, as if drawn by a computer, appeared on Liu Jiao¡¯s head. ¡°What are you pretending for? I want to see how you handle things when they go wrong! Wait till something happens, I will take you down!¡± Zhou Yuan cowered in the corner, gnashing her teeth in jealousy. ¡°Hello, I am Zhang Wencai.¡± Zhang Wencai extended his hand to Xiao Yifei. However, as a distinguished doctor of the new generation, Zhang Wencai held a sense of pride in his heart. ¡°The bleeding points are well determined, it shows that you really have quite some skills, it seems there has been some misunderstanding about you.¡± Zhang Wencai earnestly said to Xiao Yifei, ¡°You must have seen that post on the forum to make such a judgment, but, although your actions just now were astonishing, the exact results might not be as easy as you think.¡± At that moment, Chen Xusheng also woke up; he had been somewhat dazzled by Xiao Yifei¡¯s performance. Influenced by Zhang Wencai, he began to think rationally¡ªafter all, they were dealing with the brain, the cranium! The slightest millimeter off could prove fatal! How could Xiao Yifei¡¯s judgments be so precise! Yet, when Chen Xusheng saw those extremely standard points and lines on Liu Jiao¡¯s head, he silently marveled, such steady hands, most certainly suited for surgery! Chen Xusheng took a deep breath as he came to his senses; he had begun to recognize Xiao Yifei truly as a talent. He decided that even if something went wrong during this surgery, he must protect Xiao Yifei and nurture his abilities, despite the fact that he thought the chances of surgery failure were high! ¡°Which post?¡± Xiao Yifei was a bit slow to catch on, scratching his head. Looking at Zhang Wencai, who at such a young age had become a lead surgeon, Xiao Yifei felt some envy. But he knew that for Zhang Wencai to become a lead surgeon so young, he must be truly outstanding. ¡°Alright, no more delays! Get ready, let¡¯s move to the surgery, my lines are already drawn, just follow them,¡± he said. Xiao Yifei realized that they indeed were running short on time, so he urged them on. ¡°Heh...¡± A smile suddenly formed on Zhang Wencai¡¯s lips; he didn¡¯t know why Xiao Yifei was so confident in the lines he had drawn, because even the normally used brain imaging wasn¡¯t said to be very accurate, and once on the operating table, it still required the lead surgeon to make adjustments based on personal judgment. Yet Xiao Yifei¡¯s statement was so full, he couldn¡¯t help but smile lightly, though he meant no disrespect; as a doctor, one must have confidence in oneself, which Zhang Wencai actually greatly admired in Xiao Yifei. ¡°I was about to leave when I heard you were giving up, but since Xiao Yifei, you convinced the patient¡¯s family to go ahead with the surgery, I¡¯ll join you in this gamble! The more challenging the surgery, the more rewarding it feels to complete it!¡± Every genius has their own pride. Zhang Wencai¡¯s eyes sparkled; he licked his lips excitedly, finding this surgery to be particularly intriguing! He also knew that a surgery with such high risks would mean greater responsibility if something went wrong! ¡°Why so excited! Don¡¯t worry about so much, just cut along the lines I¡¯ve drawn, then stop the bleeding, it¡¯s very simple!¡± Xiao Yifei stared and spoke to Zhang Wencai, as he saw, this surgery was very simple. Chen Xusheng felt somewhat helpless and patted his head: ¡°A rookie will always be a rookie. You still know too little about surgery. There are no such easy surgeries. Once you are on the operating table, it all depends on the lead surgeon. If everything could just go according to plan, then why bother with people at all, wouldn¡¯t machines suffice?¡± ¡°Ah? I know that! Other surgeries might require it, but ours doesn¡¯t need it! Just stick to the surgery and it¡¯ll be fine!¡± Xiao Yifei looked somewhat innocent as he faced Chen Xusheng, who could only shake his head and sigh inwardly at Xiao Yifei¡¯s naivety. However, Zhang Wencai didn¡¯t take Xiao Yifei¡¯s remarks personally. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he went ahead into the operating room to begin the preparatory work. He was very interested in such a challenging surgery! Watching Liu Jiao being wheeled out, Xiao Yifei sat next to Wang Shuanhu, ¡°See, didn¡¯t I tell you to trust me! Don¡¯t worry, your wife will soon be safely wheeled out of the operating room, and she¡¯ll tell you the surgery was very successful!¡± Wang Shuanhu was too nervous to accompany Liu Jiao to the operating room. His hands were sweating. Hearing Xiao Yifei¡¯s voice eased his anxiety somewhat, but hearing what Xiao Yifei said, Wang Shuanhu could only offer a dry laugh. Even now, he didn¡¯t understand where Xiao Yifei¡¯s confidence came from. The surgery hadn¡¯t even started, yet it seemed as if it had already succeeded. Seeing Wang Shuanhu so anxious that he couldn¡¯t even speak, Xiao Yifei found it boring and went back to Chen Xusheng. But upon reaching Chen Xusheng¡¯s side, before Xiao Yifei could speak, Chen Xusheng was the first to talk, ¡°How come you know the brain¡¯s structure so well? It must not be easy to memorize such things!¡± Xiao Yifei scratched his head and said, ¡°I told Vice President Nangong that I had studied Chinese medicine in my childhood. If I can remember so many acupoints, these basic structural names and locations are simpler.¡± Chen Xusheng also felt that what Xiao Yifei said made sense. While silently admiring Chinese medicine, he followed up, ¡°I really misjudged you before. Your performance at the conference made me think you were a trifler without real knowledge. I didn¡¯t expect you to show me something impressive today. Very good, very good indeed. You¡¯re really quite remarkable.¡± Chen Xusheng used the word ¡®good¡¯ three times to praise Xiao Yifei, which made Xiao Yifei scratch his head again and smile foolishly. He had a good impression of Chen Xusheng, so he was quite happy about the praise. ¡°However,¡± who would have expected Chen Xusheng to suddenly change tack, ¡°you should know, although your estimates sound logical and you¡¯ve pinned down the rough locations superbly, the exact precision still depends on the lead surgeon¡¯s own judgement. The lines you drew cannot be that exact! Zhang Wencai is an excellent neurosurgeon, a young talent indeed, and you should learn a lot from him.¡± Having witnessed Xiao Yifei¡¯s performance in dealing with this patient, Chen Xusheng had already accepted him as his disciple, and he patiently taught him. ¡°But the lines I drew are that precise,¡± Xiao Yifei shrugged nonchalantly, ¡°My judgments are correct, there¡¯s no need for him to make any judgements.¡± Chen Xusheng was somewhat at a loss for words. He still did not believe Xiao Yifei, although he now recognized that Xiao Yifei indeed had potential. Yet, the current Chen Xusheng still did not believe Xiao Yifei possessed the abilities he claimed to have. Time passed in the conversation between the elder and the younger, while Zhou Yuan, had already been forgotten, quietly squatting in a corner. In the operating room on the seventh floor, Zhang Wencai was experiencing his most painful yet most effortless surgery, as from the moment the first incision was made, he began to doubt his own life, because Xiao Yifei¡¯s markings were just too accurate! Chapter 25 - 25 25 Stakeholders ?25: Chapter 25 Stakeholders 25: Chapter 25 Stakeholders With each incision, the proud Zhang Wencai wanted to rely on his own judgment, yet every time he cut open the damned marked point, he would precisely find the bleeding spot. After that, Zhang Wencai¡¯s job was to stop the bleeding, cut open the wound, stop the bleeding, stitch it up, cut open the wound, stop the bleeding, stitch it up. No need to think for himself at all! At one point, Zhang Wencai, not willing to believe in fate, wanted to rely on his own senses. Just that once, he did not follow the marking, and he made a mistake, nearly causing a grave error. Since that incision, Zhang Wencai no longer trusted himself; he mechanically followed Xiao Yifei¡¯s markings, performing the simple surgeries. Amidst the surgery, a multitude of thoughts filled Zhang Wencai¡¯s heart. He was glad that the surgery would be extremely successful! The patient¡¯s life would be saved by him, but he felt frustrated that what he thought would be a challenging surgery turned out, as Xiao Yifei said, to be very simple! Even a doctor who had just begun operating could complete it independently! All because of the marks made by that beast Xiao Yifei, which were incredibly precise! No need to think at all! Zhang Wencai muttered to himself in secret: ¡°How on earth did Xiao Yifei grow up, to be so incredible! He¡¯s like a completely different person from the one at the symposium!¡± Downstairs, Xiao Yifei greeted Chen Xusheng since Yu Jing suddenly needed him for something, and he had to step out for a bit. An hour later, Chen Xusheng, who was waiting in the emergency office, saw Zhang Wencai rushing in, gasping for breath. ¡°How did the surgery go? Is everything alright?¡± Chen Xusheng asked. ¡°It really couldn¡¯t have been more successful. Wang Shuanhu is hugging his head crying outside the operating room. Where is Doctor Xiao Yifei? I need to speak with him,¡± Zhang Wencai answered anxiously, looking around the office for Xiao Yifei. ¡°He stepped out for something. The surgery was very successful? That¡¯s great, Xiao Zhang, your skills have improved again! You managed to complete such a difficult surgery so successfully!¡± Chen Xusheng said cheerfully. Little did he know, upon hearing Chen Xusheng¡¯s words, Zhang Wencai¡¯s face twisted into a very awkward expression: ¡°What skill improvement, the success of this surgery has little to do with me!¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Chen Xusheng suddenly froze, he lifted his head and his wise eyes widened in disbelief: ¡°Could it be... the markings?¡± Zhang Wencai looked at Chen Xusheng with a deep sense of defeat and nodded gently: ¡°Exactly right!¡± Chen Xusheng sat dumbfounded on the stool, blinking rapidly. Even Chen Xusheng, a doctor known for his scholarly elegance and never swearing, couldn¡¯t control the shock inside his heart. His eyes widened as he softly uttered five words: ¡°Holy shit, that¡¯s awesome!¡± Chen Xusheng, astounded, stood still in place, struggling to process the news Zhang Wencai had just told him. He simply couldn¡¯t comprehend how Xiao Yifei had done it; everything Xiao Yifei had accomplished was beyond his imagination. Looking back, he even had doubts about Xiao Yifei, which now made him laugh and cry at himself. ¡°Xiao Yifei is simply a beast! Such a beast!¡± Zhang Wencai kept repeating, while Chen Xusheng nodded his head in agreement again and again! In the end, he looked at Zhang Wencai in front of him, and the two stared at each other, not knowing what to say. However, the director Chen Xusheng, who was over the age of seventy, knew full well the truth of the phrase ¡°The tree that stands out in the forest is the first to be brought down¡±. Zhang Wencai had Professor Wu Sheng backing him up, and he indeed possessed impressive skills, which was why Zhang Wencai could dominate the field of neurosurgery at such a young age. But that wasn¡¯t the case for Xiao Yi-fei! Xiao Yi-fei had been underestimated from the start, and it was his apparent incompetence that had reassured some factions opposed to Nangong Yun to place him so confidently in the emergency department. However, if the news of Xiao Yi-fei¡¯s terrifying abilities were to get out, the opposing factions would surely feel threatened! There was a very real risk they might nip Xiao Yi-fei¡¯s career in the bud, which was the last thing Mr. Chen wanted to see. After pondering for a moment, Chen Xusheng made a decision, ¡°The success of this surgery performed without the aid of imaging will certainly shock the hospital, and they will praise it. Such a challenging operation was successfully completed at Shangjing Hospital¡ªthe higher-ups can¡¯t ignore this opportunity to promote it. They will certainly want to push one or two people forward.¡± Zhang Wencai frowned, looking at Chen Xusheng, not understanding why he would bring this up. ¡°You are definitely going to be promoted, but as for everything that Xiao Yifei did in this surgery, you shouldn¡¯t spread the word. Just say that he only gave a little help this time. The actions that calmed the patient¡¯s family and those accurate judgments¡ªdon¡¯t tell anyone about them. Even if people ask, you must claim that the markings he made weren¡¯t accurate. It was your own experience on the operating table that managed the surgery,¡± Chen Xusheng said earnestly, looking at Zhang Wencai. ¡°Why? Isn¡¯t this the best opportunity to clear Xiao Yi-fei¡¯s name?¡± Zhang Wencai was confused, ¡°Why can¡¯t we tell others? Why must we let Xiao Yi-fei carry the burden of being a nobody?¡± ¡°Moreover, I only made a simple incision. You could say I barely even had to use my brain, just followed the markings Xiao Yi-fei drew for the operation. I can¡¯t bring myself to steal the credit for this surgery.¡± Zhang Wencai had his own pride. Although he admitted that taking credit for this surgery would greatly enhance his reputation, he wanted to prove himself through his own abilities, not by stealing Xiao Yi-fei¡¯s accomplishments! ¡°Sigh, you¡¯re still too young,¡± Chen Xusheng shook his head and slowly continued, ¡°Xiao Yunfei is on Nangong Yun¡¯s side, and Dean Nangong Yun is in a weaker position, while Xiao Yi-fei with his impressive performance now...¡± At this point, Chen Xusheng stopped, casting his gaze towards Zhang Wencai. Initially, Zhang Wencai listened unwillingly to Chen Xusheng¡¯s words, but as he continued to listen, he eventually had an epiphany, ¡°Director Chen, are you suggesting that if Xiao Yi-fei becomes too outstanding, he will be in danger?¡± Chen Xusheng nodded slowly, ¡°From Xiao Yi-fei¡¯s performance, he indeed has the potential to be a great doctor, and I would hate to see a good doctor lose his career so early due to factional struggles!¡± Zhang Wencai finally understood the thoughtful intentions behind Chen Xusheng¡¯s desire to protect Xiao Yi-fei. ¡°That¡¯s true. Even if this credit went to Xiao Yi-fei, people could say Xiao Yi-fei just got lucky since there is nothing concrete to prove his professional competence. Director Chen, I will do as you say because I believe Xiao Yi-fei will grow into an even better doctor. And among the younger generation of doctors, if there are no rivals, wouldn¡¯t that be too lonely?¡± Zhang Wencai thought back to the impressive way Xiao Yi-fei had made the markings by hand, ¡°But this honor is something I¡¯m just holding for him for now. Sooner or later, I will return it to him!¡± What Zhang Wencai didn¡¯t know was that the post that had been causing an uproar among the hospital¡¯s upper and middle management, the post he admired so profoundly, was written by Xiao Yi-fei himself, and it was evidence that allowed Xiao Yi-fei to stand tall with pride! Chapter 26 - 26 26 Beautiful Mother and Daughter ?26: Chapter 26 Beautiful Mother and Daughter 26: Chapter 26 Beautiful Mother and Daughter Chen Xusheng laughed heartily, ¡°If that day really comes, we¡¯d all have no need to hide, and I really like Xiao Yifei¡¯s personality. Why not support him when the time comes!¡± Zhang Wencai looked deeply at Chen Xusheng. This older doctor of integrity genuinely had a sincere heart of a great doctor. In their whispered conversation, they decided to keep Xiao Yifei¡¯s secret. After Zhang Wencai left, Chen Xusheng gazed into the distance, ¡°Xiao Yifei, you are truly amazing. I hope one day you can grow quickly into the person who can handle all the honors and criticisms.¡± Xiao Yifei, currently in the inpatient department, of course wouldn¡¯t know about their exchange; even if he did, he would just smile nonchalantly. With his clairvoyance superpower, those who tried to harm him would learn what ¡°one force breaks all methods¡± meant. Meanwhile, as Chen Xusheng and Zhang Wencai were discussing Xiao Yifei, the main subject of their conversation had already arrived at the inpatient department to visit a girl, Yu Yingying. ¡°Doctor Xiao, you¡¯re here!¡± Dressed in professional attire that perfectly outlined her excellent figure, the black silk made of high-grade cotton clung tightly to Yu Jing¡¯s beautiful legs, enhancing their already gorgeous shape. Yu Jing exuded a strong charm, mixing mature woman and young wife¡¯s allure. When Xiao Yifei pushed the door open and entered, Yu Jing, who had been sitting beside the bed, got up to greet him. The accidental parting of her legs revealed a glimpse of purple marks, which made Xiao Yifei, with his exceptional vision, gasp in surprise. ¡°Hello, Sister Yu.¡± Xiao Yifei awkwardly extended his hand to Yu Jing, whose delicate bone-free hands clasped his. Previously, Xiao Yifei had never examined Yu Jing closely and had no idea she was such a beauty, particularly since she usually held a high position that added an intimidating queenly charisma! ¡°Haha, I¡¯ve been so busy with the company recently, I didn¡¯t have time to visit Yingying. I only found out you had been transferred to the emergency room after I got here!¡± Yu Jing tossed her hair back, speaking offhandedly. ¡°Yeah, the transfer was just made, but don¡¯t worry, Sister Yu. I¡¯ll take care of Yingying¡¯s illness. You can rest easy!¡± Xiao Yifei caught the implied trust in Yu Jing¡¯s words, and responded with a smile. ¡°Haha, no worries at all, I definitely trust you!¡± Yu Jing received the reassurance she needed and her face relaxed into a smile. After all, she was a mother who dearly loved her daughter. ¡°I¡¯ll start by checking on Yingying¡¯s condition.¡± Xiao Yifei moved forward to begin the routine examination. In fact, Xiao Yifei was not officially qualified to examine Yu Yingying, but Wang Changping, who was eager to find fault with Xiao Yifei, had still entrusted her treatment to him. Originally intending to increase Xiao Yifei¡¯s burden, it conveniently aligned with Xiao Yifei¡¯s intentions since he still owed Yu Jing a huge favor. ¡°Sister Yu, if it weren¡¯t for meeting you that day at the Yanyun Hotel, I really wouldn¡¯t have known you owned such a big hotel.¡± As Xiao Yifei examined Yu Yingying, he chatted with Yu Jing. He truly marveled at how charming and sensual Yu Jing was; she didn¡¯t look like someone who owned a fortune. ¡°What¡¯s there about being or not being a boss? Isn¡¯t it all just to make a living? Even though I¡¯m a boss, I still have to visit the hospital. If it weren¡¯t for you, Yingying¡¯s condition would still be neglected.¡± Yu Jing pursed her lips in a smile, displaying myriad enticing expressions. ¡°Oh, by the way, you¡¯ve only talked about Yingying, how come I¡¯ve never seen her dad?¡± After putting down the things used to measure Yu Yingying¡¯s blood pressure, Xiao Yifei looked up at Yu Jing. ¡°Hehe.¡± Yu Jing chuckled lightly, sitting on the bed and turning her head to tuck in the quilt for Yu Yingying, ¡°Yingying has no father. It¡¯s just been me raising her all by myself.¡± ¡°No father?¡± Xiao Yifei was taken aback, suddenly wondering if he¡¯d asked something inappropriate. ¡°Sorry, Yu Jing.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, there¡¯s nothing to it. I had Yingying when I was 17, and this year Yingying is also 17. If her illness can be cured this year, she¡¯ll just be in time for the college entrance exams. I¡¯ve raised her since she was small and managed the Yan Yun restaurant from a small diner to its current state. Once Yingying goes to college, I can finally take a break.¡± Yu Jing turned her head to steer the conversation away from Yingying¡¯s father, her beautiful eyes solemnly looking at Xiao Yifei, ¡°So I really need Dr. Xiao to take good care of Yingying¡¯s illness, so I can have peace of mind!¡± ¡°Haha, don¡¯t worry, Yu Jing. Just based on the face you gave me back at the Yan Yun Restaurant, how could I not completely cure Yingying¡¯s illness! Otherwise, how could I have the face to see you!¡± Xiao Yifei laughed heartily and bent down to prepare the hospital bed for Yu Yingying¡¯s next examination. As he bent down, Xiao Yifei suddenly noticed Yu Jing¡¯s legs casually resting on the hospital bed, her expensive Gucci flats dangling playfully at her toes, and inside the pale black silk, Ning Jing¡¯s fair skin made Xiao Yifei¡¯s heartbeat suddenly accelerate. With each flick of Yu Jing¡¯s beautiful legs, his heart rippled too! You should know, Xiao Yifei is a virgin! How could he handle this stimulation! ¡°Hmm? Dr. Xiao, what are you doing down there?¡± Yu Jing, after putting on her shoes and standing up, asked puzzledly when she saw Xiao Yifei still bent over. ¡°No! Nothing!¡± Xiao Yifei quickly raised his head, pretending to adjust the bed higher, smiling at Yu Jing, but he felt his nose get warm. ¡°Dr. Xiao, why are you bleeding from your nose? Are you okay?¡± Yu Jing asked with some concern. ¡°No! I¡¯m fine!¡± Xiao Yifei wiped his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed. This was really awkward. Although Nangong Yun was fiery and gorgeous, compared to the naturally sensual mature woman like Yu Jing, it was hard to hold back. While he could restrain himself when seeing Nangong Yun¡¯s body, just a few unsuspecting movements from Yu Jing were too much for a virgin like Xiao Yifei. For him, such sensual mature women were a real killer! ¡°It¡¯s been hot lately, I might be a bit overheated!¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s face turned red. ¡°Hehe, you young men always have too much fire!¡± Yu Jing covered her mouth and giggled softly. After Xiao Yifei cranked up the bed, Yu Yingying woke up: ¡°Mom, what time is it now?¡± The playful and youthful voice came from Yu Yingying¡¯s mouth. Dragging her tired eyelids, she gently asked Yu Jing, ¡°Is it time to eat? I¡¯m a bit hungry!¡± Xiao Yifei stood at the head of Yu Yingying¡¯s bed, looking at the girl with a heart full of pity. Due to the torment of her illness, this girl in the bloom of youth appeared somewhat pale and weak, yet possessed a different kind of beauty. Yu Yingying had completely inherited her mother¡¯s delicate features, though her demeanor was quite the opposite, pure and beautiful. ¡°Ah! Dr. Xiao Yi came!¡± When her originally dull eyes saw Xiao Yifei standing at her bedside, Yu Yingying¡¯s eyes suddenly brightened. She always remembered how, when she first arrived at the hospital ignored by everyone, it was Xiao Yifei who stepped forward and diagnosed her condition. That bright figure had always been in Yu Yingying¡¯s heart. The tall and handsome Xiao Yifei made the young Yu Yingying¡¯s heart flutter with excitement. Although she had not seen Xiao Yifei many times, Yu Yingying always hoped to see him. Chapter 27 - 27 27 Awards Ceremony ?27: Chapter 27 Awards Ceremony 27: Chapter 27 Awards Ceremony ¡°Yes! Doctor Xiao has arrived. He has come to treat you, and he said that you¡¯ll be cured very soon!¡± Yu Jing caressed Yu Yingying¡¯s head lovingly and spoke gently. ¡°Ah! That¡¯s really great! I really hate being sick! It makes me so listless all day! Brother Xiao Yifei, is it true?¡± Xiao Yifei looked into Yu Yingying¡¯s hopeful eyes and nodded with a smile, ¡°Of course, your illness is nothing serious.¡± Yu Jing smiled tenderly, and even Xiao Yifei revealed a knowing smile. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Sister Yu, I¡¯ll definitely cure Yingying,¡± Xiao Yifei repeated to Yu Jing. The days that followed became quite plain, though the emergency department was always busy. Xiao Yifei made time each day to visit the hospital ward, to see Yu Yingying, chat with her about life, and discuss dreams. Yu Yingying¡¯s demeanor towards Xiao Yifei grew increasingly affectionate, fondly calling him ¡®Brother Xiao Yifei¡¯. Every time she saw Xiao Yifei, a radiant smile blossomed on Yu Yingying¡¯s beautiful face. Perhaps it was the uplift in her spirits, but Yu Yingying¡¯s complexion also improved, bringing her closer to the time when she would be ready for surgery. Yu Jing was still as busy as ever, and Xiao Yifei rarely saw this stunning woman. Due to his hectic schedule, Xiao Yifei gradually forgot about a post he had made on a forum. However, being busy also made him feel fulfilled. His clairvoyance became more adept, handling a few tricky medical emergencies skillfully. His outstanding first-time performance in managing Yu Jing¡¯s medical condition also slowly altered the emergency room staff¡¯s perception of him. During this period, Xiao Yifei only saw Nangong Yun once. After hearing that Xiao Yifei was doing well in the emergency room, Nangong Yun hurriedly left, as people nearby mentioned, she seemed to be constantly searching for a mysterious doctor. In the emergency room, as Xiao Yifei¡¯s influence gradually rose, his rivalry with Zhou Yuan became more public. It could even be said that the conflict was between Zhou Yuan and Xiao Yifei, because in Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes, Zhou Yuan never even came into his view. Today is Wednesday, and Xiao Yifei received a notice from Chen Xusheng to attend some recognition event, with Zhou Yuan from the same department also attending. Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t regard Zhou Yuan highly, so there was no question of rivalry. However, Zhou Yuan hadn¡¯t learned his lesson from the Liu Jiao incident and buzzed around Xiao Yifei endlessly, making Xiao Yifei somewhat annoyed by him. The two remained silent on their way together. Arriving at Shangjing Hospital¡¯s award hall, Xiao Yifei raised his head and saw, written on the LED screen outside the conference hall: ¡°Doctor Zhang Wencai¡¯s Outstanding Work Recognition Event.¡± He frowned. ¡°What kind of recognition event is this?¡± Looking around, he saw many young doctors attending the meeting. Xiao Yifei felt puzzled, entered the hall, found a seat in the back rows, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for the meeting to begin. Zhou Yuan, shrinking his head, was reading the content on the LED screen of the event. It seemed he had also heard some rumors and, after confirming that the text on the LED screen matched the rumors he knew, Zhou Yuan scoffed coldly, a mocking smile appearing on his lips, then entered the hall. From the entrance, he surveyed the area, saw where Xiao Yifei was sitting, sneered coldly, and made his way toward Xiao Yifei, eventually sitting right beside him. Xiao Yifei glanced sideways and noticed it was Zhou Yuan next to him, which made him frown and continue to close his eyes, ignoring him. Who would have known that Zhou Yuan would still not relent and, filled with mockery, said to Xiao Yifei, ¡°Isn¡¯t this our very famous Doctor Xiao? Do you know what this recognition event is all about?¡± Xiao Yifei looked up and glanced at Zhou Yuan, his tone indifferent, ¡°Are you sick or something?¡± Seeing Xiao Yifei talk to him like that, Zhou Yuan felt annoyed, but something seemed to cross his mind, and soon his expression calmed again. With a forced smile, he said to Xiao Yifei, ¡°Hey! Our great Doctor Xiao is really something. Seriously awesome! But I hope after you finish this awards ceremony, you can still be this awesome!¡± This time, Xiao Yifei couldn¡¯t be bothered to deal with Zhou Yuan and turned his gaze towards the podium in the conference hall. Seeing Xiao Yifei¡¯s reaction, Zhou Yuan let out a cold snort: ¡°Just you wait!¡± Meanwhile, the awards ceremony began. Following tradition, a hospital leader delivered a lengthy speech on the podium. Xiao Yifei was not interested in this and only recognized the face of the leader he had never seen before. After the lengthy preamble, the unfamiliar leader finally began the main theme of the awards ceremony, which was to commend Doctor Zhang Wencai for his outstanding work. ¡°Our neurologist, Doctor Zhang Wencai, completed a highly challenging surgery two months ago. I hereby highly praise his achievement. Doctor Zhang Wencai, without any brain imaging, decisively and independently operated and successfully completed the surgery alone, saving the patient Liu Jiao¡¯s life! The difficulty of this surgery was extremely high! Doctor Zhang Wencai, without any assistance, successfully completed this challenging operation, showing not only superb skill but also great courage! We were shocked to hear this news! The achievement of Doctor Zhang Wencai¡¯s surgery has not only made our Shangjing Hospital proud but has also spread to other hospitals! Doctor Zhang Wencai¡¯s successful surgery could not have been accomplished without the guidance of our hospital, as well as his own efforts. Today, all of us here are young doctors, let us learn from Doctor Zhang Wencai. Let¡¯s applaud for Doctor Zhang Wencai, an outstanding doctor! Next, I would also invite Doctor Zhang Wencai to speak!¡± The leader was passionate and excited on stage, his cheeks flushed. However, sitting below, Xiao Yifei was somewhat puzzled. ¡°Completed independently? Was the marker I drew in the wrong position? Impossible! Even if the marker I drew was wrong, it shouldn¡¯t be claimed that he completed it independently! Even if my contribution is not counted, the bunch in the emergency room should also get some credit!¡± Xiao Yifei frowned in thought. He was surprised that Liu Jing¡¯s surgery could have caused such a stir. Furthermore, although he hadn¡¯t had much contact with Zhang Wencai, he knew that Zhang was not the type to take all the credit for himself. Zhou Yuan, sitting next to Xiao Yifei, saw the furrowed brows and felt a delightful shiver, thinking Xiao Yifei was feeling guilty. Zhou Yuan couldn¡¯t help but mock with a victorious grin, ¡°How does it feel? Dumbfounded, huh? Did you really think others don¡¯t know who deserves the credit for a successful surgery? You always acted so involved, and now the truth comes out, doesn¡¯t it?¡± The more Zhou Yuan spoke, the angrier he got, seemingly venting all the frustrations he had encountered from Xiao Yifei recently: ¡°Now why don¡¯t you talk? Not acting high and mighty anymore? Worthless trash!¡± Xiao Yifei casually glanced at Zhou Yuan, having already passed a death sentence on him in his mind. Nonetheless, Xiao Yifei had no time to deal with Zhou Yuan now; he wanted to hear Zhang Wencai¡¯s explanation, and if Zhang¡¯s explanation wasn¡¯t satisfactory, he would definitely confront him. Chapter 28 - 28 28 Beat You Up ?28: Chapter 28: Beat You Up 28: Chapter 28: Beat You Up At that time, Zhang Wencai stepped up to the podium and started to speak. What he had mentioned earlier was just some unimportant things. However, after finishing his statement, Zhang Wencai paused and cleared his throat, saying, ¡°Actually, to say that I completed the surgery entirely by myself is not correct. Besides the doctors in emergency who provided me with a lot of help, I must also thank one person. Though I cannot reveal their name, I must say that without this person, I simply could not have completed the surgery!¡± Zhang Wencai¡¯s enigmatic final remark on stage left everyone stunned. After finishing, he stepped down, which caused some embarrassment for the leaders on stage. A leader with an unfamiliar face reacted quickly, immediately adding, ¡°Hahaha, our Doctor Zhang Wencai really knows how to create a sense of mystery! But I know who Dr. Zhang is talking about, it must be his mentor, right!¡± After the unfamiliar-faced leader finished speaking, he looked towards Zhang Wencai, who didn¡¯t say anything but just smiled gently at the leader. Xiao Yifei had already figured out the situation by that time. Since Zhang had his own reasons and had already thanked the emergency room staff, Xiao Yifei, trusting Zhang, didn¡¯t say much more, even though he didn¡¯t expect such a huge reaction after the surgery. Nonetheless, this did not cause Xiao Yifei to feel any differently, as he possessed clairvoyance, far surpassing everyone present! However, Xiao Yifei decided not to say anything more, but there were still others who wouldn¡¯t give up. Seeing that Xiao Yifei had not responded, Zhou Yuan grew more aggressive, believing he had grasped Xiao Yifei¡¯s weakness. In their confrontation, Zhou Yuan gained the upper hand for the first time and became utterly immersed in it, ¡°Hahaha, you useless thing! Not talking now, huh! Still marking your place! You can¡¯t do shit!¡± Xiao Yifei was really annoyed and even a bit angry. Without saying a word, he stood up and walked towards the conference hall door. When Xiao Yifei stood up, Zhou Yuan was taken aback, but seeing that Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t say anything and just walked out, Zhou Yuan sneered and spit fiercely on the ground, ¡°What an asshole, daring to fight with me!¡± Little did he know, Xiao Yifei made a sudden return move. At the conference hall door, Xiao Yifei turned around and gestured with his finger, ¡°Come out here for a moment.¡± Zhou Yuan snorted coldly and stood up, walking towards Xiao Yifei. Upon reaching Xiao Yifei, Zhou Yuan looked down his nose at him, ¡°What¡¯s up? Called me out just to apologize? I won¡¯t accept it!¡± Xiao Yifei smiled at Zhou Yuan and said, ¡°It¡¯s crowded here. Come with me.¡± After speaking, he walked towards a less crowded area first, with Zhou Yuan cursing under his breath behind him. Finally, Xiao Yifei stopped, and by then, the two had reached a secluded area. Turning around, Xiao Yifei looked at Zhou Yuan with a half-smile, ¡°Are you done?¡± Zhou Yuan, oblivious to the tense atmosphere, tilted his head and dug his nose as he looked at Xiao Yifei, ¡°So what if I¡¯m done or not, what can you do about it?¡± After speaking, he even pointed at Xiao Yifei¡¯s chest with his finger that he had just used for picking his nose, but in that moment, Xiao Yifei grabbed it abruptly. Zhou Yuan¡¯s face showed disbelief, ¡°Just with your scaredy-cat look right now, what do you plan to do? Fight me?¡± Zhou Yuan looked up and suddenly saw the cold flash in Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes. A chill ran down his spine. Xiao Yifei, holding Zhou Yuan¡¯s wrist, his expression had turned solemn, an oppressive aura surging forward, only to hear Xiao Yifei coldly saying, ¡°Whether you¡¯re done or not, shut your mouth! Never-ending bullshit!¡± No sooner had the words fallen than Xiao Yifei, pulling along, made Zhou Yuan stumble. Immediately afterward, Xiao Yifei decisively kicked, sending Zhou Yuan sprawling in the dirt! ¡°You fucker dare to hit me! You actually dare to hit me!¡± Zhou Yuan¡¯s voice was now tinged with a sob. He hadn¡¯t expected Xiao Yifei to actually strike as soon as he said he would. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with hitting you? Do you believe I could kill you?¡± Xiao Yifei looked at Zhou Yuan with a sinister smile, his white teeth reflecting a bone-chilling gleam. Zhou Yuan saw the look on Xiao Yifei¡¯s face and suddenly shuddered, goosebumps covering his body. In that instant, Zhou Yuan had no doubt that Xiao Yifei would kill him! But then, Xiao Yifei¡¯s expression changed, and that terrifying face suddenly disappeared, returning to his usual lazy demeanor. Xiao Yifei stretched lazily and a mocking smile appeared on his lips, ¡°Look at you, I just wanted to scare you, see how pathetic you look!¡± Zhou Yuan looked up at Xiao Yifei, unable to hide the panic in his eyes. He pointed at Xiao Yifei shakily, ¡°You forced this on me!¡± Xiao Yifei couldn¡¯t help laughing upon seeing Zhou Jian¡¯s reaction, ¡°Yes, I did force you, so what?¡± Zhou Yuan looked at Xiao Yifei, gritted his teeth, quickly got up from the ground, and started running while pulling up his pants. As he ran, Zhou Yuan shouted back at Sun Li, ¡°You just wait!¡± He kept looking back as he ran, fearing that Xiao Yifei might catch up to him. Xiao Yifei stood still and watched Zhou Yuan run off in a flash, shaking his head with a smile. When Xiao Yifei returned to the emergency room, he found Zhou Yuan was not there. Someone nearby mentioned that Zhou Yuan felt unwell, took leave, and went home. Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t take Zhou Yuan seriously at all and was about to return to his office when he suddenly encountered Chen Xusheng. ¡°Xiao Xiao, how did it go? Is the commendation meeting over?¡± Chen Xusheng asked with slight concern, his gaze also mixed with something else, as he was the one who decided to temporarily withhold Xiao Yifei¡¯s recognition. ¡°It¡¯s not over yet, but I found their discussions uninteresting, so I came back early.¡± Xiao Yifei replied to Chen Xusheng with a cheerful smile. Chen Xusheng, feeling somewhat guilty, was unsure whether his actions were beneficial or detrimental to Xiao Yifei. However, Xiao Yifei¡¯s unaffected demeanor only solidified Chen Xusheng¡¯s belief that Xiao Yifei could become an excellent doctor. ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good,¡± Chen Xusheng said with a kindly smile, ¡°Keep up the good work, you¡¯re definitely the best one!¡± The elderly Chen Xusheng encouraged Xiao Yifei, his eyes filled with care. Busy times always seem brief. When Xiao Yifei looked up from his hectic work, he realized it was time to leave. He stretched lazily and took a sip of water handed to him by Wu Rui. ¡°Thanks a lot!¡± Xiao Yifei turned and said to Wu Rui with a smile. ¡°No problem at all!¡± Wu Rui waved her hands dismissively. ¡°Alright, work¡¯s over, I¡¯m heading home now!¡± Xiao Yifei sighed deeply, picked up his bag beside the desk, greeted his office mates, and left the hospital. After becoming a full-time employee, Xiao Yifei¡¯s salary indeed increased, but since he still sent money home every month, Xiao Yifei couldn¡¯t afford to buy a car. Thus, he still rode his stylish Flying Pigeon brand bicycle to and from work. Humming a tune, Xiao Yifei leisurely cycled towards his rented apartment. Chapter 29 - 29 29 Qigong Master ?29: Chapter 29 Qigong Master 29: Chapter 29 Qigong Master To get to the place where he lived, Xiao Yifei always had to pass through a narrow path, and today, as he rode his bike along this narrow path, he sensed something odd about the atmosphere. On either side of the path, sparsely scattered, stood some unfamiliar faces that looked like they were no strangers to street life, around five or six people, each holding various items like sticks and bricks. This path wasn¡¯t usually this crowded, but what made Xiao Yifei particularly aware of the strange atmosphere was the apparent leader of these thugs, who kept looking at his phone and then at him! Xiao Yifei took a deep breath and furiously kicked his pedal to speed through the alley when suddenly, the leading thug noticed something and shouted, ¡°It¡¯s him! Don¡¯t let him get away!¡± At this command, the once sparse crowd quickly closed in, trapping Xiao Yifei in the middle, who sat on his bicycle with a helpless expression. He finally understood what Zhou Yuan meant by asking him to wait, but now, Xiao Yifei wondered why it turned out to be a bunch of people waiting for him instead. ¡°Fellows! We¡¯re all from the streets, let¡¯s talk things out properly!¡± Xiao Yifei had initially hoped to break through the crowd, but realizing it was impossible, he got off his bicycle with a resigned look, holding his fists in a polite gesture, and spoke righteously to the gang surrounding him. ¡°Haha, bro, look at this idiot, still playing jianghu with us. Where did this fool come from?¡± A gang member with dyed yellow hair and a gaunt figure laughed as he spoke to the leader. ¡°I don¡¯t know, probably watched too many TV dramas!¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± Some gang member in the crowd picked up the conversation, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Xiao Yifei stood there, stunned. Isn¡¯t this how it plays out on TV? Why wasn¡¯t it working now? At that moment, the leading thug stepped forward, saying, ¡°Taking money to ward off misfortunes for others, although we are small, we keep our word. I¡¯ll tell you upfront¡ªif you don¡¯t resist, we¡¯ll just beat you up a bit. If you do resist, then the guys might not hold back as much.¡± Xiao Yifei looked blankly at the leading thug as he finished his speech. Being cornered like this was new to him. According to Xiao Yifei¡¯s thoughts, shouldn¡¯t there be a negotiation first and resort to physical conflict if that fell through? How come they went straight to the action? ¡°I am only one person, you guys have 1, 2...6 people,¡± Xiao Yifei pointed at himself, then at each of the thugs, ¡°Are you really okay with so many of you beating up one of me?¡± Then Xiao Yifei looked earnestly at the leading thug and asked, ¡°Is there really no way to solve this without throwing punches?¡± ¡°We brothers keep our promises. It¡¯s not about us bullying you because you¡¯re outnumbered. Even if you had a hundred men today, we would still strike!¡± the leading thug scoffed with an air of a boss, ¡°Taking money to ward off misfortunes, please bear with us, brother!¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Xiao Yifei nodded and continued, ¡°Even if I can fight well, know Qigong, and take on the six of you, you¡¯re not afraid?¡± ¡°Nonsense! We brothers keep our promises!¡± The leading thug held his head high, clearly proud. ¡°Alright then, enough said, bring it on!¡± Xiao Yifei carefully leaned his bicycle against the wall of the alley, did a few warm-up exercises, and began a standoff with the thugs. The leading thug, noticing Xiao Yifei¡¯s stance, was suddenly startled, apparently surprised; he then scrutinized Xiao Yifei¡¯s build closely before turning back to look at his fellows, weighing the situation for a long while. Finally, the gang leader shouted, ¡°Brothers uphold honesty! Don¡¯t scare us! Come on, follow me!¡± He charged forward towards Xiao Yifei, leading with his stick. Xiao Yifei, hands behind his back, had a calm expression and a ghostly stature, the figure of a martial arts master. The leading thug saw Xiao Yifei¡¯s posture and was taken aback again, but remembering his own words, he gritted his teeth and, though reluctantly, rushed towards Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei watched the gangsters armed with weapons approaching closer and closer and couldn¡¯t help but curse silently, ¡°Damn, I can¡¯t keep up this act as a master anymore!¡± He then shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t smash my bike!¡± He charged at the gangsters in response. ¡°With so many of them, this won¡¯t end well! I¡¯ve only used my Clairvoyance once today, I still have two uses left. I don¡¯t know the limits of my Mind Control, but let¡¯s give it a try!¡± Xiao Yifei calmly watched the gang, first dodging a swing from the leader with a side step, then flipping to the side of Huang Mao. Xiao Yifei roared, ¡°Let me show you the power of a Qigong master!¡± He then kicked Huang Mao in the stomach, the kick was fake, the real trick was Mind Control. Calmly using his mind, Xiao Yifei twisted Huang Mao¡¯s intestines slightly. Although his Mind Control wasn¡¯t very strong and could only twist a little, it was still enough to make Huang Mao fall to the ground in pain, unable to get up. ¡°Ouch, it hurts, ouch!¡± Huang Mao lay on the ground crying out in pain, startling the leader of the gangsters. He watched Xiao Yifei, who bore no trace of a trained fighter¡¯s posture, and couldn¡¯t believe his eyes. Then, he charged at him with his minions. Xiao Yifei used his sharp vision to observe the subtle dynamics of the gangsters¡¯ attacks, narrowly dodging their assaults. However, this rapidly exhausted him, and after several rounds, although he appeared relaxed, his back was soaked with sweat. The gangsters, skinny like poles, didn¡¯t have much stamina either, panting heavily with their hands on their knees, gasping for breath. ¡°Brotherhood means trust! Come with me! Take him down!¡± the leader shouted, mustering his energy for another charge. ¡°Again! Will you guys ever stop? Aren¡¯t you tired?¡± Xiao Yifei shouted, while thinking to himself, ¡°I can¡¯t go on like this, I¡¯m not going to last much longer. They¡¯re going to beat me up badly if it continues this way, I need to think of something.¡± Xiao Yifei focused and activated his Clairvoyance on the approaching gangsters, not missing any detail. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, ¡°It¡¯s a gamble!¡± Xiao Yifei took a large step back, creating distance from the gangsters, and yelled, ¡°You¡¯ve really angered me now! Behold the great technique of a Qigong master.¡± ¡°Six! Meridian! Sword!¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s fingers sharply lifted, pointing through the air at two of the five charging gangsters. ¡°Ah! My stomach! My stomach hurts so much!¡± One of the gangsters fell first, writhing on the ground in pain just like Huang Mao. ¡°My legs! Why can¡¯t I move my legs! Help! My legs!¡± Another gangster also collapsed suddenly, crying and screaming while clutching his legs. The leader, baffled, looked at the sudden turn of events, ¡°Are you guys okay? Stop joking around!¡± ¡°Big brother! We¡¯re not joking! My stomach really hurts!¡± ¡°I really can¡¯t move my legs!¡± The leader turned abruptly, looking at Xiao Yifei as if he had seen a ghost, while Xiao Yifei maintained his stance, his face calm. Chapter 30 - 30 30 Encounter with the Old Beggar Again ?30: Chapter 30: Encounter with the Old Beggar Again 30: Chapter 30: Encounter with the Old Beggar Again ¡°Damn it! Run! Grab San¡¯er and Huang Mao!¡± While watching, the gang leader suddenly let out a bizarre scream and turned around to run, crying and shouting as he ran, ¡°Mommy! There really is a Qigong master!¡± Seeing the gang members throw away their helmets and armors in a frantic escape, Xiao Yifei¡¯s face revealed a smile. He shouted towards the fleeing gang leader, ¡°Brother, weren¡¯t you guys all about keeping your word?¡± From a distance, Xiao Yifei heard the gang leader¡¯s voice reply, ¡°I freaking was all about keeping my word!¡± Afterward, a crowd of people quickly disappeared from Xiao Yifei¡¯s sight. And Xiao Yifei still maintained the posture of raising his arm. ¡°Damn it, this Zhou Yuan, I¡¯m not gonna let him get away with this, daring to have people block me!¡± ¡°Luckily these little punks are in poor physical shape, so I could easily manipulate the defects in their bodies using Clairvoyance and Consciousness Control. Also, thank goodness they run fast, because with my current ability, the pain would have subsided in a moment if they had run slower. But they probably won¡¯t come back now, right? The trick I used must have scared them stiff.¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyelids got heavier and heavier. ¡°But man, I really did overdo the act, Zhou Yuan, you wait for me too!¡± Finally, the great consumption of Clairvoyance and Consciousness Control abilities caused Xiao Yifei to no longer be able to hold on, ¡®thump,¡¯ he fainted and collapsed on the small path, with the flashy Flying Pigeon bicycle quietly standing by his side. A gust of wind passed by and leaves suddenly fluttered up with the wind¡¯s motion. But in an instant, the fluttering leaves were grabbed by a figure that suddenly appeared. The figure slowly approached the fainted Xiao Yifei and crouched down, revealing an inscrutable smile while looking at Xiao Yifei. In a daze, Xiao Yifei felt an unbearable headache pressing down on him. In his last memory, it seemed like he had fainted on the little path outside his home. Then, where am I now? Xiao Yifei struggled to open his eyes, and suddenly, got a shock and shrank back because right in front of Xiao Yifei appeared a fuzzy, round object. ¡°What is that!¡± Xiao Yifei let out a weird cry, panicked. ¡°What¡¯s the big deal! No need to make such a fuss, is there!¡± The fuzzy round object suddenly spoke, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, grumbling and complaining to Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei took a closer look and finally relaxed, realizing that it was a person crouching in front of him. The man was dressed in rags and unkempt, with long, unmanaged hair hanging down and covering his face, making it appear fluffy. Xiao Yifei struggled to his feet, noticed it was still light out, and let out a relieved breath. ¡°Good, I haven¡¯t been out for long!¡± ¡°It¡¯s already the next day! You think you just fainted!¡± The person crouching in front of Xiao Yifei swept his hair away from his face, revealing the countenance Xiao Yifei would never forget. ¡°Old... Old Beggar!¡± Xiao Yifei no longer had time to wonder why he had been out for a whole day. He stared wide-eyed at the person before him who had changed his life! ¡°Old Beggar! I finally see you again! Ever since you gave me that carving, my body has undergone some changes! Explain this to me!¡± After obtaining the Clairvoyance superpower, Xiao Yifei also went back to the street where he had met the Old Beggar to look for him, but never found him again. Now that he had seen the Old Beggar again, Xiao Yifei grabbed his hand firmly, afraid he would run away. ¡°You¡¯d better explain everything to me clearly, what on earth is going on!¡± Although Xiao Yifei now possessed Clairvoyance, facing this unfamiliar thing, Xiao Yifei¡¯s heart was still somewhat flustered. ¡°What transformation? What are you talking about? I have no idea what you mean!¡± The old beggar picked his nose and smeared it on his tattered clothes, staring at Xiao Yifei with huge eyes, looking completely clueless. ¡°You¡¯re lying! It¡¯s that opportunity you talked about! You mentioned it before!¡± Xiao Yifei was persistent. ¡°Oh! Speaking of opportunities, I just remembered that big plate chicken you treated me to! It was really delicious!¡± The old beggar¡¯s eyes glazed over, and he licked his lips with his tongue, but in an instant, he changed his expression, turned his face, and said to Xiao Yifei, pulling him by the arm, ¡°Speaking of food, I¡¯m hungry now, you don¡¯t know, I didn¡¯t have lunch yesterday, came here to see if I could scrape a meal, but I found you lying on the ground, I¡¯m old and couldn¡¯t carry you, no choice but to stay with you all night!¡± Looking at Xiao Yifei¡¯s foolish face, still not getting his hints, the old beggar couldn¡¯t help but curse inwardly, ¡®This kid still needs to be bamboozled!¡¯ ¡°Do you remember the poem I recited when we departed that day? ¡®Once encountering wind and clouds, the dragon transforms,¡¯ do you know where to become the dragon?¡± The old beggar sat up straight, speaking earnestly to Xiao Yifei. ¡°Ah? Where?¡± Xiao Yifei was a bit lost following the old beggar¡¯s erratic thoughts. ¡°Come, come, come, here! Follow me!¡± Seeing how compliant Xiao Yifei was, the old beggar couldn¡¯t help but smile joyfully, showing his big yellow teeth, and started running, pulling Xiao Yifei along. Xiao Yifei jogged along with the old beggar, and on the way, he tried to use his Clairvoyance on the old beggar, but for the first time, Xiao Yifei couldn¡¯t see through him. The old beggar¡¯s body was like a mist, completely obscure, and Xiao Yifei finally woke up to the realization that the old beggar¡¯s reappearance by his side was not without purpose, though he still pretended not to know, playing along with the old man. ¡°Here! Here is where you transform into a dragon!¡± The two finally arrived at their destination, and the old beggar, with his dirty hands, pointed again to the bright sign of a store named ¡®Spicy Crawfish,¡¯ saying, ¡°This place has the tastiest crawfish!¡± Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei paused, chuckled lightly, and said to the old beggar, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go in, eat whatever you want! I can afford it with my salary now!¡± ¡°Awesome!¡± The old beggar showed his big yellow teeth and smiled broadly. Who knows how long it had been since the old beggar had eaten, 5 pounds of crawfish were devoured in no time, leaving behind only a table full of shells. Xiao Yifei couldn¡¯t help but be impressed by the old beggar¡¯s appetite. ¡°Tell me, what do you really want from me.¡± Seeing that the old beggar had finally finished eating, Xiao Yifei sat up straight, his eyes fixed on the old man, and spoke in an even tone. ¡°Ah? What matter I want from you? What are you talking about? I was just passing by and saved you, that¡¯s all!¡± The old beggar blinked his eyes, still making excuses. ¡°Heh.¡± Xiao Yifei chuckled lightly and said nothing more, just kept looking at the old beggar in silence. Chapter 31 - 31 31 8 Sets of Radio Gymnastics ?31: Chapter 31: 8 Sets of Radio Gymnastics 31: Chapter 31: 8 Sets of Radio Gymnastics Finally, the old beggar felt a bit uneasy under Xiao Yifei¡¯s intense gaze. He frantically rummaged through his belongings and pulled out a greasy, thread-bound book, hurling it at Xiao Yifei. ¡°Damn it! I save your life, and you can¡¯t even treat me to a meal without dying? You still suspect I have an ulterior motive? What motive could I possibly have! Your physical transformation has nothing to do with me. If you want to blame me, you¡¯re barking up the wrong tree!¡± No sooner had he finished speaking than the old beggar stood up, pushed aside the curtain, and hurried away. ¡°Hey!¡± Xiao Yifei reached out to grab the old beggar but ended up grasping at air, staring at his hand in disbelief that he had failed to catch the old man. Once the old beggar had left, Xiao Yifei finally turned his attention to the book that had been thrown at him. He gently picked up the book, which was so covered in grime that its cover was barely legible. Even with Xiao Yifei¡¯s exceptional vision, he could only make out the words ¡°Dragon Transformation Technique¡± written on the cover in traditional seal script. ¡°Is there really a Dragon Transformation Technique?¡± Xiao Yifei was somewhat surprised. He quickly stuffed the book into his pocket, paid the bill, and hurried home to his rented room. Meanwhile, in a place Xiao Yifei could not see, the old beggar stood on the rooftop of a tall building. As the wind blew, it tousled his disheveled hair, fluttering it in the breeze. The facade of madness and silliness had left his face, replaced by a presence as deep as an abyss, exuding an imposing aura that felt profoundly unfathomable. As the old beggar¡¯s gaze followed Xiao Yifei¡¯s moving figure and shifted with the blowing wind, his voice seemed to mingle with the breeze, ¡°It¡¯s not that I didn¡¯t tell you, but it¡¯s not yet the time. We must not sever the lineage!¡± With lingering doubts in his mind, Xiao Yifei finally returned home. He first called the hospital to request a half-day off, then carefully took out the mysterious booklet from his bosom and started reading intently. ¡°Isn¡¯t this just a set of calisthenics?¡± Squinting, Xiao Yifei flipped through the worn booklet. After casually browsing a few pages, he began to wonder. He had truly thought that the old beggar was a profoundly concealed expert, but after seeing this booklet, Xiao Yifei¡¯s doubts about the old beggar resurfaced. Because the content of the booklet titled ¡°Dragon Transformation Technique¡± felt eerily familiar to Xiao Yifei. It was a scant few dozen pages with drawings of a person performing different actions, alongside breakdowns of the movements. To Xiao Yifei, these actions were increasingly familiar because they were part of his school memories! He had strained himself to learn these moves in elementary and middle school to avoid being scolded by the gym teacher. This was none other than the school¡¯s routine exercise! ¡°The eighth set of broadcast exercises, ¡®Time is Calling¡¯!¡± Although there were some minor differences, Xiao Yifei was absolutely certain about the origins of these actions. Realizing this, he couldn¡¯t help but feel exasperated. Was this really what the old beggar had left him with? ¡°Could it be? Maybe I should give it a try?¡± Xiao Yifei felt like something might be wrong with his brain, but he nonetheless moved aside the table in his cramped rented room, clearing more space for activity. Saying it was as good as done, Xiao Yifei took off his jacket, did some warm-up exercises, and started doing the broadcast exercise. In the tight confines of the room, an adult man executed the broadcast exercise meticulously. The scene was as bizarre as bizarre could be, but fortunately, there was no one else in the room. He had barely made a few motions when Xiao Yifei acutely sensed something unusual about this set of movements. Although they were similar to the radio exercises, there were distinctions, and it was these differences that brought about the oddity. Xiao Yifei considered his body to be sturdy but not overly muscular; however, after only a few of the initial movements, he began to feel his body warming up. A nameless heat rose slowly from his lower abdomen to his eyes. He was panting heavily after just those few movements and found himself unable to continue. The exercise was extremely draining on his stamina! Xiao Yifei gritted his teeth and finally managed to complete the movements illustrated on the first three pages of the booklet. With a ¡°thump,¡± Xiao Yifei collapsed to the ground; he didn¡¯t have the strength even to move his little finger! Who could have imagined that motions similar to radio exercises could be this challenging to execute? Lying on the ground, Xiao Yifei stared straight up at the ceiling. The hot energy inside him flowed continuously toward his eyes and from there to the rest of his body. Despite the extreme exhaustion, he actually felt incredibly comfortable! Lying there, Xiao Yifei quietly enjoyed the soothing flow of warmth through his body. It was a genuinely pleasing sensation. After a while, he felt the strength returning to his body and stood up to head towards the restroom; the sweat covering him made him feel uncomfortable. After fetching a basin of cold water, the shirtless Xiao Yifei poured the entire basin over his head. ¡°Ah! Refreshing!¡± Xiao Yifei muttered under his breath and looked up to the mirror, wondering if it was an illusion, he suddenly noticed that his body seemed to have become more toned. ¡°How could this happen in just a short while?¡± Xiao Yifei marveled internally. Although the flow of heat had been very soothing, he found it hard to believe it had such miraculous effects. To make sure he wasn¡¯t hallucinating, Xiao Yifei focused intently and looked at his arms. However, as Xiao Yifei used his superpower, he realized that employing it was far less strenuous than before. He could confirm that, given his current condition, he was capable of using his ability to see through objects up to five times a day! Suppressing his excitement, Xiao Yifei shifted his attention back to his arm and indeed, it was true! His arm¡¯s muscle fibers had tightened, meaning he was not hallucinating! ¡°This set of radio exercises actually has this effect!¡± Xiao Yifei sighed inwardly, and this was just from the initial set of movements. He expected his condition to improve even more with continued practice! As a doctor, he couldn¡¯t explain this phenomenon, but Xiao Yifei was satisfied knowing that this was a positive development. After a quick wash, having just finished eating crayfish with the old beggar, Xiao Yifei suddenly felt hungry again. Shaking his head, he remarked, ¡°It seems that exercising really does use up a lot of energy!¡± Chapter 32 - 32 32 Chaos in the Hospital ?32: Chapter 32: Chaos in the Hospital 32: Chapter 32: Chaos in the Hospital Xiao Yifei, hailing from Shan Province, still had a preference for noodles. After casually eating a bowl of noodles downstairs, he returned to the alley to get his bicycle and sped off towards the hospital. He hadn¡¯t forgotten who was behind the people blocking his way! Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan, lounging with his legs crossed and humming a tune in the office, was in an exceptionally good mood after learning that Xiao Yifei hadn¡¯t shown up for work today. ¡°Now you know how formidable I am! Still dare to hit me? I¡¯ll teach you a lesson!¡± Zhou Yuan thought that the punks he had hired had taught Xiao Yifei a lesson, thinking Xiao Yifei must be frightened and didn¡¯t dare to come to the hospital, which delighted Zhou Yuan even more. ¡°You still dare to fight with me, I¡¯ll see if I don¡¯t break your legs!¡± Zhou Yuan shook his head and swaggered, feeling exceptionally cheerful; even a pile of unfinished work seemed to make life all the more beautiful. Just as Zhou Yuan was immersed in his blissful life, the door to the office was suddenly pushed open. ¡°Zhou Yuan! Stand up for me now!¡± A loud voice suddenly came from behind Zhou Yuan. Hearing the familiar tone, Zhou Yuan shuddered violently. ¡°Xiao... Xiao Yifei, how come you¡¯re here; weren¡¯t you on leave!¡± Zhou Yuan trembled as he looked at Xiao Yifei, feeling extremely fearful, and seeing that there wasn¡¯t a single mark on Xiao Yifei¡¯s face or body only intensified Zhou Yuan¡¯s fear. ¡°Leave? Don¡¯t you know what you did yourself?¡± Xiao Yifei rolled up his sleeves and walked toward Zhou Yuan, his aura seething with fury. ¡°What... what did I do! What about it! You still dare to hit someone in the office?¡± ¡°Slap! Bang!¡± The sound of something hard striking a body rang out. ¡°You really dare to hit someone in the office! Haven¡¯t you considered the consequences!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Another sound followed by the noise of a person falling to the ground. ¡°Stop hitting, stop! Ouch! I was wrong! Bro! Bro, I was wrong!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bro! I really realize my mistake! I won¡¯t ever dare to provoke you again! I¡¯ll avoid you whenever I see you, okay!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Yifei Bro! Yifei Bro! I really was wrong! Please, give me a break! Look, you¡¯re fine! Please, I¡¯m begging you! I won¡¯t ever trouble you again!¡± Zhou Yuan¡¯s voice was now tinged with a sobbing tone. Apart from Zhou Yuan and Xiao Yifei, there was no one else in the office that day, so no one knew what happened inside. In the end, Wu Rui only saw Zhou Yuan rushing out of the office with a swollen face, and since then, Zhou Yuan would always avoid Xiao Yifei from afar whenever they met. Any doctor who has worked in the emergency department would know it¡¯s a very tough job. Not only do they have to deal with immense pressure, but the massive workload is also very exhausting. Since Xiao Yifei obtained that booklet from the old beggar, doing radio calisthenics every day has led to an increase in his appetite. The most noticeable change is that his body has become much stronger, and his spirits ever higher. For instance, now Xiao Yifei can stay awake for three days and nights and still remain very energetic. After conducting his own tests, Xiao Yifei found that his physical condition was such that facing two or three big Han men was no problem at all. The only thing that frustrated Xiao Yifei was that the number of times he could use his x-ray vision was still the same five times a day since he first exercised. Thanks to his x-ray vision, Xiao Yifei slowly gained a say in the emergency department. At the very least, everyone had started to respect this young doctor with considerable medical skills. Today, Xiao Yifei was on night shift and was reading materials in his office when he was suddenly distracted by the arguing at the door. He pushed open the door and went out. It was already three o¡¯clock in the middle of the night, and ordinarily, apart from extremely urgent situations, there shouldn¡¯t be many people in the lobby. But when Xiao Yifei had just stepped out of the office and into the emergency hall, he was shocked by the scene before him. There were about fifteen or sixteen men in black clothes, looking fierce and aggressive, standing in the emergency hall confronting the hospital¡¯s staff. The leading man in black was holding a briefcase and arguing with Wu Rui about something. ¡°If you don¡¯t do as I say, I¡¯ll smash this hospital, believe it or not!¡± Zhao Ben, the rugged man holding the briefcase, said to Wu Rui fiercely, his face covered with pockmarks. Wu Rui, though petite and seemingly delicate, was actually quite fiery. She held her head high undauntedly against the burly Zhao Hu, ¡°Do you think Shangjing Hospital is so easy to smash? Go ahead, try it!¡± ¡°Smash!¡± Upon Meng Hu¡¯s order, the group of men in black behind him, without a word, simultaneously pulled out batons from their belts and smashed them mercilessly on the nurses¡¯ station in front of the emergency hall. With a crash, the glass at the nurse¡¯s station shattered. The falling shards left Wu Rui dumbfounded. She genuinely didn¡¯t expect these men in black to be so unreasonable as to actually start smashing things without leaving any room for discussion. Their actions, evidently, also frightened Wu Rui as she stood frozen on the spot. The deeds of these men in black men alarmed everyone else in the emergency hall, and out of fear, everyone involuntarily stepped back, their eyes filled with dread as they looked at the men in black. ¡°I don¡¯t have time to chitchat with you all. I¡¯m telling you very seriously now, bring me a capable doctor immediately! If you don¡¯t do as I say, I¡¯ll make sure none of you can even walk out of here!¡± Meng Hu¡¯s fierce gaze swept over everyone in the emergency hall, his tone ruthless. The personnel stationed in the emergency room were suddenly quiet as cicadas in winter, believing without a doubt that Meng Hu would turn his words into action. ¡°Money! I¡¯m not short of money! I just need a capable doctor! You have five more minutes! For every minute nobody shows up, I will break someone¡¯s leg!¡± Meng Hu snapped open the briefcase¡¯s latch with a flick, revealing neat stacks of RMB to those gathered in the emergency room. He sat arrogantly behind the case, his chilling gaze making one shiver. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Xiao Yifei approached with a frown from behind the nurse¡¯s station, surveying the chaos on the floor and then looking towards Meng Hu and his men in black, feeling a tinge of concern. The imposing stance of Meng Hu and his men clearly showed they were not mere street thugs. ¡°Doctor Xiao!¡± Wu Rui, scared, hurried to Xiao Yifei¡¯s side, her eyes reddened as she clutched the corner of Xiao Yifei¡¯s clothes, ¡°Doctor Xiao, they started causing trouble as soon as they arrived, insisting that our hospital¡¯s doctor must go with them!¡± ¡°Did you call the police?¡± Xiao Yifei pulled the frightened Wu Rui behind him. ¡°Humph! Call the police? You can try and see if that helps!¡± Chapter 33 - 33 33 Coerced House Call ?33: Chapter 33: Coerced House Call 33: Chapter 33: Coerced House Call Meng Hu snorted coldly, looking disdainfully at Xiao Yifei, ¡°Even if the police came, I would like to see how many of you can remain unharmed!¡± ¡°Brother, I don¡¯t know why you¡¯ve come to our hospital so late at night.¡± Xiao Yifei stepped forward, faced Meng Hu, and asked in neither servile nor arrogant tone. ¡°What am I here for? I¡¯ve made it very clear, I need a doctor with excellent medical skills! Come with us! Money is no object!¡± Meng Hu said viciously, ¡°Damn it, you people really don¡¯t honor the wine you¡¯re served but rather the punishment wine! Must I force your hand!¡± Meng Hu¡¯s eyes flashed fiercely as he pointed to a male doctor trembling in the corner and said, ¡°Hit him! I do not believe such a large hospital doesn¡¯t have an older, highly skilled doctor!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The black-clothed men behind Meng Hu, wielding batons, walked directly towards the doctor cowering in the corner. ¡°No! Don¡¯t come over!¡± The male doctor shouted in despair, not understanding why he was so unlucky to be targeted first by this group of thugs. ¡°Stop it! Is there no law left!¡± Xiao Yifei roared, blocking the path of the black-clothed men, ¡°Aren¡¯t you just looking for a doctor? I¡¯ll go with you!¡± ¡°Doctor Xiao! What are you doing! Don¡¯t interfere with them! Who knows what they intend by taking a doctor with them! I refuse to believe they really dare to abduct someone from such a big hospital!¡± Wu Rui saw Xiao Yifei directly confronting the thugs without backing down and was extremely worried. The crowd in the emergency lobby was so frightened by Meng Hu and his group that they dared not utter a word, all crouching back and timidly watching the situation unfold. Meng Hu glanced at Xiao Yifei, his eyes full of disdain, ¡°You? A green doctor? Able to treat illnesses? You must be joking, bringing it onto Tiger Lord!¡± ¡°Hit him! Hit him hard! Anyone who blocks my way, kill him!¡± Meng Hu roared loudly, a menacing aura surrounding him. The black-clothed man raised his baton high, smashing it down hard towards Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei narrowed his eyes and with a single hand, casually intercepted the black-clothed man¡¯s full-force swing, turning his head to Meng Hu, ¡°Brother Hu, right? I see you¡¯re anxious, and since we¡¯re just wasting time here, I suppose the patient¡¯s condition is unclear, let¡¯s not delay any further. Generally speaking, older doctors don¡¯t work the night shift in the emergency room. Give me some face, I¡¯ll go with you and let¡¯s not create more fuss here, you wouldn¡¯t want too much trouble in such a big hospital!¡± Meng Hu saw how easily Xiao Yifei had intercepted his subordinate¡¯s full strike, his eyes narrowing in recognition. Others might not know, but he was aware that despite not bringing many people today, each one was competent. Xiao Yifei¡¯s capability to intercept so effortlessly was no simple feat. ¡°Come back!¡± Meng Hu signaled to the black-clothed man confronting Xiao Yifei with a glance, and the man promptly withdrew his baton and returned to Meng Hu¡¯s side. ¡°Tell me, who are you!¡± Meng Hu said to Xiao Yifei in a deep voice. ¡°Xiao Yifei, just a junior doctor in the emergency department,¡± Xiao Yifei said calmly, bowing slightly to Meng Hu. Xiao Yifei¡¯s calmness made Meng Hu take a few more glances at him, maintaining his composure in front of him was something few could achieve. After all, Meng Hu was one of the top enforcers under the old master, famously known on the streets as Tiger Meng Hu! ¡°Xiao Yifei, is it? Are you so confident you can cure my patient?¡± Meng Hu looked at Xiao Yifei with a sinister tone. ¡°Whether I¡¯m confident or not, I¡¯d have to see the patient to know. However, what I do know is that if you keep stalling, the patient might be in danger!¡± Xiao Yifei patted his sleeve and said casually to Meng Hu. At these words, Meng Hu¡¯s eyes trembled fiercely as he stared deeply at Xiao Yifei, ¡°Kid! You¡¯re smart! But I hope your medical skill is as effective as your brain!¡± After finishing his statement, Meng Hu pointed at Xiao Yifei, ¡°Take him away!¡± A group of men in black came forward, surrounded Xiao Yifei, and were about to take him away. ¡°Brother Hu, I will follow you voluntarily, but you¡¯ve turned our emergency hall into a mess. How can I be in the mood to treat the patient now?¡± Seeing the men in black approach him, Xiao Yifei spoke unhurriedly. ¡°Hmph!¡± Meng Hu turned with a cold snort, ¡°Young man! You¡¯ve got guts!¡± He kicked a suitcase full of RMB toward Wu Rui, ¡°You know this little nurse, right? Take the money! Consider it your repair fee.¡± ¡°But if letting you treat the patient doesn¡¯t improve things...¡± At this point, Meng Hu¡¯s eyes flashed viciously, ¡°Consider this money as your mortuary fee!¡± As soon as Meng Hu finished speaking, he left the emergency hall without looking back, while Xiao Yifei followed Mend Hu¡¯s footsteps with a light smile. ¡°Doctor Xiao!¡± Wu Rui, without even caring about the suitcase of money kicked to her side, took a step forward with a choked voice. ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s alright! Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯m just going to see a patient! I¡¯ll be back tomorrow!¡± Xiao Yifei turned and gave Wu Rui a reassuring look, then bowed his head and got into the Land Rover driven by Meng Hu and his men. Only when Xiao Yifei and his company had disappeared from the eyes of the people in the emergency department did the panicked crowd start to recover. ¡°Scared me to death, scared me to death, to actually kidnap someone! This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a thing! Doctor Xiao is really brave! He just got in the car with them, what should we do! Should we call the police?¡± ¡°Is calling the police useful? Didn¡¯t you hear what that leader said, calling the police is useless, if they dare to come to our hospital to kidnap someone in the middle of the night, what wouldn¡¯t they dare!¡± ¡°Then what should we do! Just let Doctor Xiao go with them? It sounds like, if Doctor Xiao really can¡¯t cure the illness, it could really be dangerous!¡± ¡°What else can we do! Just hope that Doctor Xiao¡¯s medical skill is superb and that he can cure the illness!¡± Wu Rui stared blankly in the direction Xiao Yifei was taken, her hands tightly clasped together. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she turned and dashed frantically towards the emergency office, ¡°Hoping she can help Doctor Xiao Yifei!¡± Meanwhile, Xiao Yifei had been brought to his destination. ¡°Mu Yuan Villa!¡± This place is one of the few villa areas in Yanjing. With such high real estate prices in Yanjing, these villas naturally cost a fortune. Mu Yuan Villa is a prime example. Only the wealthy and prestigious live here¡ªthis wealth pertains to the extremely wealthy and the prestigious pertaining to the highly prestigious. Ordinary rich people don¡¯t even qualify to buy a house here! And Xiao Yifei was brought by a group of men in black to the largest villa in Mu Yuan Villa. Chapter 34 - 34 34 Give It a Try ?34: Chapter 34 Give It a Try 34: Chapter 34 Give It a Try ¡°Quick, open the door!¡± Outside the villa, dozens of black-clad figures ceaselessly patrolled. Seeing Meng Hu return, the crowd hurriedly opened the gate. ¡°Did you find the doctor?¡± As the gate opened, an alluring and voluptuous woman strode out to meet them. Upon seeing Meng Hu, the woman asked coldly. ¡°Found him, found him! After such a large search, this is the doctor I kidnapped from the emergency room of Yanjing Hospital!¡± Meng Hu saw the young woman and respectfully said, ¡°Poison Scorpion, how¡¯s the old man?¡± ¡°Things aren¡¯t looking good. A bunch of doctors are just standing there, unable to do a thing, I hope the one you brought back can be of use,¡± said the bewitching woman referred to as Poison Scorpion, her tone as cold as it was contrary to her sizzling figure. ¡°Where¡¯s the doctor? Where is he?¡± Poison Scorpion¡¯s gaze completely bypassed Xiao Yifei, looking past Meng Hu instead. ¡°Here he is!¡± Meng Hu pulled Xiao Yifei forward and gestured towards Poison Scorpion. ¡°So young? What were you thinking? Didn¡¯t I say young doctors are useless? Didn¡¯t I tell you to find someone older?¡± Poison Scorpion¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, and she shot Meng Hu a daunting look. Even Meng Hu, a towering figure nearly two meters tall, shrank back a bit at her unfriendly gaze, feeling a wave of fear, ¡°It¡¯s so late. I¡¯ve turned Shangjing Hospital upside down, and only found this kid, but he should be quite capable!¡± Meng Hu patted Xiao Yifei, his gaze filled with a threatening air as he said, ¡°Isn¡¯t that right?¡± Sun Li smiled faintly and replied nonchalantly, ¡°I need to see the patient first before I can give you any conclusions.¡± Poison Scorpion gave Xiao Yifei a slightly surprised look, not expecting this young man to be so composed. However, Poison Scorpion didn¡¯t think highly of Xiao Yifei because of this. As the patriarch¡¯s right-hand woman, she had seen all manner of storms and waves. ¡°Come in! The old man is upstairs.¡± Poison Scorpion frowned and stepped aside, and as Xiao Yifei took his first step into the villa, his cell phone had already been confiscated. ¡°Who exactly am I supposed to treat? You should at least tell me that!¡± Xiao Yifei followed behind Meng Hu, looking at the villa¡¯s luxurious decor, he couldn¡¯t help but be secretly astounded and grew curious about the identity of the patient. ¡°The old man¡¯s surname is Jiang!¡± Meng Hu turned his head and glared at Xiao Yifei, ¡°Ask what you should ask, shut your mouth about what you shouldn¡¯t!¡± ¡°Surname Jiang?¡± Xiao Yifei pondered, then suddenly, his eyes narrowed in shock, ¡°Could it be him?!¡± Xiao Yifei recalled a name, a name even someone not from Yanjing like himself had heard of, a name he always assumed existed only in stories. If it really was this person, then the black-clothed subordinates and the ability to live in ¡°Mui Yuan Villa¡± would all make sense! The legendary figure known as ¡°Dog King¡± Jiang Mingquan! ¡°Dog King?¡± Xiao Yifei called out the name with caution. ¡°Want to die, do you?¡± Meng Hu suddenly turned his head, his face twisted with ferocity! ¡°It really is him!¡± Xiao Yifei sighed silently in his heart. Dog King Jiang Mingquan, once a legendary figure, came to Yanjing alone with just one man and one dog fifty years ago at the tender age of twenty. With his ruthlessness and lack of mercy, he carved out a bloody path on the streets of Yanjing. To commemorate the dog that had fought by his side until death, he established the gang ¡®Canine Society¡¯! Although ¡®Canine Society¡¯ has now become the largest entertainment hub in Yanjing, there was a saying in its heyday, ¡°The daytime in Yanjing belongs to the nation, but the nights of Yanjing belong to Dog King Jiang Mingquan!¡± In recent years, the national crackdown on gangs forced the ¡®Canine Society¡¯ to shift much of its operations aboveboard, but even a thin camel is bigger than a horse¡ªthe ¡®Canine Society¡¯ remained a behemoth. Finally, Xiao Yifei saw the Dog King himself in a large room on the second floor, but the man lying on the hospital bed did not have the vigorous aura he was known for. Like any ordinary old man, in fact, weaker than most, he lay on the massive bed surrounded by medical equipment, his slight body riddled with tubes of all sizes. ¡°The condition is indeed very serious!¡± The moment Xiao Yifei laid eyes on the Dog King, he didn¡¯t even need clairvoyance to make his diagnosis; the Dog King felt to Xiao Yifei like a candle flickering in the wind. At that moment, Scorpion also arrived on the second floor. ¡°Well, how about it? Figured anything out? If you have, come downstairs. Don¡¯t disturb the old man¡¯s rest. There¡¯s a bunch of doctors downstairs, talk it over with them, see if any of you can come up with something.¡± Scorpion whispered, considering Xiao Yifei, such a young doctor, completely useless and a waste of time, and at the moment, she was filled with worry about the old man¡¯s health. ¡°Let¡¯s talk downstairs.¡± Xiao Yifei frowned slightly and took the lead in walking down the stairs. ¡°Putting on airs!¡±¡ã Scorpion followed behind Xiao Yifei with no expectations for the young doctor. Downstairs, Xiao Yifei entered a room resembling a conference room as directed by Meng Hu. As he pushed the door open, the sight caught him off guard. The small room was filled with people, all of whom, according to Scorpion, were doctors! As a new face entered the room, the seated doctors¡¯ eyes lit up with hope, but upon seeing a young person who seemed barely out of his teens, their expressions dimmed, and they shrank back into their seats. Once Xiao Yifei entered the room, Scorpion locked the door behind them. She slowly moved to sit sideways at the bay window, inexplicably producing a nail clippers, and began tending to her nails, ¡°Let me tell you all, it has been 5 hours since the old man collapsed. Just now, which one of you said the first 8 hours after the coma is the best time for rescue? Now there are only three hours left. You all weigh your options.¡± Scorpion spoke casually, yet the speed with which those delicate jade hands expertly flipped the nail clippers betrayed that she was anything but calm inside. ¡°I¡¯ve already told you all, if it wasn¡¯t a necessity, I wouldn¡¯t have called you here in the dead of night. The old man wanted to stay in Yanjing, otherwise, we would have long since sought treatment abroad. Also, every single one of you doctors in this room, besides this newly arrived kid, is a distinguished figure. How can a single disease stymie you all to this extent? I¡¯ll repeat, I¡¯m not asking for the old man to be cured completely¡ªif anyone can make him regain consciousness, I¡¯ll reward him with 5 million and a favor from me. But if you can¡¯t cure him, none of you useless beings will leave! Our ¡®Canine Society¡¯ might not be as powerful as it used to be, but I still don¡¯t take any of you seriously.¡± Scorpion¡¯s tone grew colder towards the end of her speech, her gaze lifting to sweep across those present. The murderous intent reflected in her eyes was enough to send shivers down the spine. This was no longer a femme fatale¡ªthis was a killing machine! After her speech, Scorpion returned to tending her immaculate nails with a remote coldness. The room fell silent, and the faces around showed nothing but despair. Chapter 35 - 35 35 ?35: Chapter 35 35: Chapter 35 ¡°Enough, enough! Why be so pessimistic? Come on! Tell me what¡¯s wrong with the patient!¡± Xiao Yifei broke the silence in the room, clapping his hands loudly. ¡°Tch.¡± Seeing it was the young doctor Xiao Yifei who spoke first, Zhao Ziguo sneered disdainfully. In the profession of medicine, seniority often dictates respect, with older doctors generally possessing more experience and greater medical skill, and not many people trusted such a young doctor as Xiao Yifei. ¡°Which hospital are you from?¡± Qian Wu rolled his eyes at Xiao Yifei, speaking in an indifferent tone. ¡°I¡¯m from Shangjing Hospital.¡± Xiao Yifei smiled, realizing that among the ten doctors present, there were some he had often seen in internal medical magazines, including Zhao Ziguo and Qian Wu. ¡°Heh, we were just saying that with so many doctors coming today, none were from Shangjing Hospital. Well, now that you are here, it¡¯s all covered. All the major hospitals in Yanjing have representatives here. You really are a fearless young calf, taking on such a task.¡± Qian Wu chuckled softly, glanced at the scorpion sitting on the windowsill, then said to Xiao Yifei, ¡°Have you ever thought, with so many of us here, do they really dare keep us locked in forever? Let¡¯s not talk about others, just Doctor Zhao Ziguo and I, we have some reputation. If we disappeared for a long time, surely many people would search for us. Would they really dare to keep us confined here? So, don¡¯t worry, just stay calm and wait!¡± Upon hearing Qian Wu¡¯s words, the scorpion by the windowsill smirked, then came over to the group of doctors and suddenly stomped on one doctor¡¯s shin: ¡°I don¡¯t care if anyone is looking for you; I only know that you are in my hands now and if you don¡¯t treat the illness properly, you won¡¯t have any power to resist for the time being.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± The doctor who was stomped on by the scorpion screamed in pain, as the agony from the high heel intensified his suffering. ¡°Old Tian!¡± Qian Wu shouted loudly, disbelieving that the scorpion would act so rashly, his eyes wide as he stared directly at the scorpion: ¡°What exactly do you want to do! You asked us to come, we came; you asked us to treat, we treated; now you won¡¯t let us go, what exactly do you want!¡± ¡°Heh.¡± The scorpion smiled softly, ¡°I haven¡¯t asked you to do anything. I¡¯ve already said, if you can make the old man wake up, I won¡¯t only stop bothering you, but I will also give each of you a big gift!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already told you! We can¡¯t do it! Really, we can¡¯t! The old man¡¯s illness is due to complications from his youth that have flared up now! We might have a chance in a hospital, but you refuse to go, and with the equipment in this house, there is really no way!¡± Qian Wu answered furiously, and all the doctors in the room glared angrily at the scorpion. The scorpion, observing the tense situation, regained her cold demeanor, her unpredictable nature indeed putting a lot of pressure on everyone in the room. ¡°I don¡¯t care, I just want the old man to wake up now.¡± The scorpion said flatly, her eyes void of emotion: ¡°If you can¡¯t make the old man wake up, then you all can die.¡± Seeing that the situation seemed truly unsolvable, Qian Wu let out a desperate sigh. At that moment, a confident voice finally spoke up. ¡°Won¡¯t you consider what I¡¯ve suggested? Let¡¯s discuss it, perhaps there is a solution?¡± Xiao Yifei said, squinting and smiling. Xiao Yifei shot Scorpion an unexpected glance, then turned his head to look at Qian Wu, Zhao Ziguo, and the others. ¡°Exactly. If you just cooperate, the old man will wake up sooner, and you can leave sooner. Why resist so much?¡± She smiled charmingly, transforming from the cold-hearted woman to a bewitchingly beautiful creature. ¡°The young ones catch on quick, not like you old fogeys.¡± ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t bother you anymore. Discuss amongst yourselves here, and if you need anything, just say so. I¡¯ll be back in half an hour.¡± Scorpion winked at Xiao Yifei, ¡°Have a good talk with these old fogeys. This is a matter of life and death!¡± After Scorpion left, Qian Wu and Zhao Ziguo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with despair and helplessness. ¡°What do we do now? We only have half an hour. That¡¯s not enough!¡± ¡°It¡¯s all your fault! You, young man, really think you¡¯re above everyone, lawless! We were just buying some time here, and we might have been released, but you had to claim you could cure him, cure my ass! None of us here have a solution; what could you possibly do!¡± Zhao Ziguo redirected his hatred towards Xiao Yifei, slamming the table furiously. ¡°Young man, your behavior just now really wasn¡¯t very calm!¡± Qian Wu chimed in, causing the doctors in the room to grow resentful towards Xiao Yifei. ¡°Heh,¡± Xiao Yifei chuckled lightly. ¡°If I remember correctly, all of you present here are celebrities in the Yanjing medical community. Dr. Zhao Ziguo, you are the chief surgeon at the Ninth People¡¯s Hospital, Mr. Qian Wu, you seem to be the associate professor at Yanjing Union Hospital, and Dr. Tian, you¡¯re not just an average doctor either. I¡¯ve read through your medical papers, but from your writings, I couldn¡¯t see such pessimism. How could you esteemed doctors lack even this bit of confidence?¡± Xiao Yifei said, his gaze drifting across the crowd. ¡°I, a mere junior doctor at Shangjing Hospital, seem to be better off.¡± ¡°Hmph! Naive child!¡± Zhao Ziguo, seeing Xiao Yifei¡¯s demeanor, let out a contemptuous scoff. ¡°You don¡¯t even know what disease the patient upstairs has, and yet you dare to be so arrogant? That¡¯s not confidence; that¡¯s a death wish!¡± Having said that, Zhao Ziguo turned away, seeming unwilling to continue the conversation with Xiao Yifei. ¡°Young man, I honestly don¡¯t know what to say to you. If it were curable, we surely would have gone up to treat him by now. Who doesn¡¯t want to go home? Why do you think we¡¯re still locked up in this house? It¡¯s because we truly have no other options!¡± Qian Wu looked at Xiao Yifei, only managing a bitter smile. ¡°The patient is in a coma due to massive internal tissue necrosis causing disarray in the immune system. According to the medical reports they provided, the patient had many underlying health issues that suddenly erupted, causing a chain reaction that has left us completely at a loss. If we were in a hospital, maybe we could do something, but this family refuses to go to the hospital. Even though they have some medical equipment upstairs, it¡¯s far from enough!¡± Qian Wu painstakingly explained to Xiao Yifei and finally let out a long sigh. ¡°Young man, you really have dragged us down!¡± Xiao Yifei, with a smiling hint at the corner of his mouth, looked at everyone¡¯s mournful faces and then dropped a bombshell. ¡°Do you know who is lying upstairs? From what I understand, his name is Jiang Mingquan.¡± ¡°Jiang Mingquan!¡± Everyone¡¯s face changed instantly, and they all felt a chill rushing from their spines to the crown of their heads. ¡°How can you be so sure that the old man upstairs is the Dog King? Are you sure?! Wasn¡¯t it said that the Dog King had moved overseas?¡± From everyone¡¯s reaction, it was clear that all present were aware of the nickname Dog King. Still, it was impossible not to know, as many severe cases of knife and chop wounds in the major hospitals of Yanjing over the past decade were somewhat linked to the Dog King¡¯s power. Xiao Yifei shrugged nonchalantly. ¡°I¡¯m not sure, but it should be true!¡± ¡°Dog King...¡± Zhao Ziguo quietly muttered the name, his eyes filled with uncertainty. Chapter 36 - 36 36 Full of Confidence ?36: Chapter 36 Full of Confidence 36: Chapter 36 Full of Confidence ¡°Do you still believe that if you do nothing, they will let you go in the end?¡± Xiao Yifei spread his hands and tilted his head as he looked at the people in the room. ¡°Sigh! Forget it, forget it!¡± Qian Wu collapsed in despair behind him, having given up because he knew that if the Dog King had gathered them here, they would not be able to get away unless they gave these people an explanation. But alas, they truly had no way out! ¡°You kid, even at a time like this, you can still be so relaxed; I really admire your attitude.¡± Watching Xiao Yifei¡¯s carefree expression, Qian Wu shook his head. ¡°Hey, I¡¯m saying, has everyone really given up? Don¡¯t you want to think of a solution?¡± Xiao Yifei pulled up a chair casually and sat next to Qian Wu, glancing at his wristwatch: ¡°You have twenty minutes left. In twenty minutes, that woman will be back.¡± ¡°Let her come back! There¡¯s nothing we can do anyway. I just have this crappy life for them to take if they¡¯re so capable!¡± Zhao Ziguo said in a fit of anger: ¡°You keep talking and talking, making us even more afraid. What are you trying to do! Do you have a solution or what!¡± ¡°Right, I do have a solution!¡± Xiao Yifei nodded seriously. ¡°You see, you also said you have no solution! So why are you still blabbering on!¡± Zhao Ziguo hadn¡¯t caught on to what Xiao Yifei was saying, and he burst out with rage! However, in an instant, Zhao Ziguo froze. He turned his head, looking dumbfounded at Xiao Yifei as if he couldn¡¯t believe his ears: ¡°What did you say? Repeat that for me?¡± Xiao Yifei smiled, pausing between each word: ¡°I said, I have a solution!¡± ¡°Hahaha, what did you say? You have a solution? That¡¯s a joke! I don¡¯t believe it!¡± Zhao Ziguo burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: ¡°This green kid thinking he can save the Dog King and everyone... pigs might fly!¡± He was full of disdain, not believing Xiao Yifei at all. Even though he didn¡¯t believe it, someone did. Qian Wu, the Doctor surnamed Tian, all the doctors inside the house, after hearing Xiao Yifei¡¯s reply, they all came over, their eyes shining, staring straight at Xiao Yifei. ¡°Really? Don¡¯t lie to us! You¡¯re so young, do you really have a solution?¡± ¡°There¡¯s really no point in lying now! If you¡¯re lying to us, we¡¯ll beat you up right here and now!¡± ¡°They don¡¯t have as many advanced medical facilities up there as our hospital does, are you sure you can do it?¡± ¡°The Dog King is gravely ill, are you sure you can make him conscious with such a serious condition?¡± A barrage of questions erupted from everyone, quickly overwhelming Xiao Yifei. Originally, when everyone was feeling hopeless, Xiao Yifei¡¯s sudden confidence seemed to give everyone a glimmer of hope, and they eagerly surrounded him. ¡°Stop, stop, stop! Everybody, listen to me first.¡± Xiao Yifei said loudly: ¡°Don¡¯t be hasty, everyone. Listen to me until I finish.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Zhao Ziguo sat in the corner, watching the stars gather around Xiao Yifei like the moon in their midst, and snorted with disdain. ¡°I just went up and briefly looked at the general situation,¡± Xiao Yifei pressed his hand downward to signal everyone to be quiet, ¡°You all arrived before me, so you definitely know more than I do, we should start by discussing what you know. That way, we won¡¯t waste any time.¡± Qian Wu pondered for a moment, contemplating the situation of the patient, known as the Dog King, in his mind, ¡°From what I understand, the patient¡¯s illness must have been present for quite some time, and then today, a multitude of underlying causes suddenly erupted.¡± ¡°Exactly, exactly, and there¡¯s also extensive necrosis of tissue within the patient¡¯s body. The patient¡¯s own immune system is in conflict with the necrotic tissue, causing a sudden coma.¡± Doctor Tian continued, having just performed a brief examination on the Dog King and drawn this conclusion. ¡°The Dog King¡¯s body is quite weak, with many organs at risk; these are due to hidden injuries from when the patient was younger that weren¡¯t properly healed.¡± Finally, under Xiao Yifei¡¯s leadership, the pessimistic mood in the house was no more. Everyone summarized the Dog King¡¯s condition, thinking about what they could do for Xiao Yifei, as they felt helpless at the moment and could only place their hopes on Xiao Yifei. They just hoped that Little Yifei wouldn¡¯t let them down. The unanimous attitude also caught the eye of Zhao Ziguo sitting aside. In his opinion, Xiao Yifei, this greenhorn, was completely useless. He didn¡¯t believe that Xiao Yifei had any real ability. Seeing everyone placing their trust in Xiao Yifei, and helping him sort through the patient¡¯s condition, Zhao Ziguo silently scorned the group of doctors for being led by a mere kid. Xiao Yifei listened attentively to everyone¡¯s descriptions. The collective energy of the united doctors was immense, especially when skilled doctors collaborated and delineated the patient¡¯s condition, giving Xiao Yifei a clearer judgment regarding Jiang Mingquan¡¯s illness. Even though he possessed clairvoyance, Xiao Yifei had known from the start that waking Jiang Mingquan, let alone curing him, would be an incredibly energy-consuming task. To save his clairvoyant uses for better aiding in the treatment of Jiang Mingquan, Xiao Yifei wanted to gather useful information from the other doctors. Indeed, the feedback from these doctors had truly helped Xiao Yifei. Time passes exceptionally fast for those immersed in serious work. Apart from the silent Zhao Ziguo, the rest of the doctors were in fervent discussion about Jiang Mingquan¡¯s condition, completely unaware of time slipping by until the Scorpion re-entered the room. Only then did everyone realize that half an hour had already passed. ¡°How are the preparations coming along?¡± The Scorpion entered, face frosty, and from the expression on her face, everyone suddenly got a bad feeling about the situation. ¡°The old man¡¯s condition has worsened. If you bunch of wastes can¡¯t come up with a solution,¡± The Scorpion spoke coldly, cutting her words short to draw a handgun. The dark muzzle pointed at everyone in the room: ¡°None of you will leave!¡± Seeing the murderous Scorpion actually produce a gun and point it at them, everyone gasped and backed away. ¡°They actually have a gun! What are we going to do now?¡± The people in the house were terrified, panic-stricken and at a loss. ¡°Hurry up! Your time is up!¡± The Scorpion urged emotionlessly. ¡°What should we do! Didn¡¯t you say you had a solution?¡± The crowd panicked and turned their hopeful eyes towards Xiao Yifei. The Scorpion noticed where their hopes lay and swung the gun toward Xiao Yifei, ¡°So, young man, have you figured out a solution?¡± Listening to the Scorpion¡¯s emotionless words, and seeing her finger ready on the trigger, Xiao Yifei shrugged nonchalantly. He teased the Scorpion, ¡°I have some ideas, but first put the gun down and we¡¯ll talk. A woman shouldn¡¯t be wielding a gun.¡± ¡°Hurry up! I don¡¯t have time for your nonsense!¡± The Scorpion glared at Xiao Yifei fiercely and put the gun away. Inside the house, everyone, including Zhao Ziguo, watched Xiao Yifei wide-eyed, curious about his next steps and his proposed solution. They knew well that the medical problem at hand was considered insurmountable! Chapter 37 - 37 37 I Regret It ?37: Chapter 37 I Regret It 37: Chapter 37 I Regret It Xiao Yifei stretched leisurely, speaking to the scorpion in a casual tone, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Upon hearing this, the scorpion was taken aback, and not just the scorpion, all the doctors in the room were stunned. ¡°What do you mean? You¡¯re saying that you don¡¯t need any of the big-name doctors in this room, their help is unnecessary? You can do it alone?¡± The scorpion stared with eyes full of doubt and looked at Xiao Yifei, ¡°Are you joking with me?¡± Xiao Yifei smiled and nodded lightly. ¡°You can really do this by yourself? You don¡¯t need us to go up and assist you? Although we don¡¯t know what your method is, we have experience!¡± Qian Wu said to Xiao Yifei with an incredulous tone, he couldn¡¯t believe that Xiao Yifei was so presumptuous! Xiao Yifei shrugged, ¡°You¡¯ve already helped me.¡± Xiao Yifei then spoke with a somewhat disdainful tone, ¡°No need for your help after this, lest you go up and cause more trouble for me!¡± Xiao Yifei yawned as he looked at the room full of prestigious doctors, gaping at him, ¡°Leave the rest to me. Hurry and take care of the patient, go back early, and you can get some more sleep.¡± The scorpion looked straight at Xiao Yifei, and Xiao Yifei met his gaze without a care. ¡°Let¡¯s go, young man! I hope your medical skill is as big as your mouth!¡± The scorpion flicked his head, pushed the door open, and walked out, ¡°If there¡¯s even a slight accident, I¡¯ll kill you on the spot!¡± Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t take the scorpion¡¯s threatening words seriously as he left. Before departing, Xiao Yifei waved at the people in the room and casually said, ¡°I¡¯ll be back in a bit.¡± And in the room, everyone was silent until Jiu Liang and Zhao Ziguo broke the silence with sharp laughter. ¡°Hahaha, are you sure this young guy isn¡¯t out of his mind? You¡¯re placing your hope in the hands of this idiot?¡± Zhao Ziguo¡¯s derisive laughter echoed through the room, thinking that the young man must be somewhat neurotic. ¡°Did you ask what his name was just now? Are you sure he¡¯s a doctor from Shangjing Hospital and not someone released from a psychiatric hospital?¡± Zhao Ziguo¡¯s mockery plunged the room into deep silence again, because even Qian Wu felt that Xiao Yifei¡¯s behavior was a bit too much. ¡°Alright, alright! He gets to die first! Then we all follow him! To place hope on such a green kid, impressive move you guys!¡± Zhao Ziguo curled his lip and lay down on the ground, ¡°Might as well get some sleep before dying.¡± This time, Qian Wu heard Zhao Ziguo¡¯s words, but didn¡¯t respond, just staring blankly ahead, lost in thought. But a moment later, a timid voice suddenly rose in the quiet room, coming from a doctor surnamed Tian, named Tian He. ¡°If, if this young man wasn¡¯t deceiving us and actually made Jiang Mingquan come to his senses, what then?¡± No one in the room answered his question, only Zhao Ziguo¡¯s ear-piercing strange laugh: ¡°If this young man can really do it, from now on, I, Zhao Ziguo, will follow this young man¡¯s orders without question.¡± The Poison Scorpion, walking ahead of Xiao Yifei, had never shown him any kindness. Her face, as cold as frost, remained silent until they arrived at the door of Jiang Mingquan¡¯s bedroom on the second floor. Only then did Poison Scorpion turn around and say coldly to Xiao Yifei, ¡°I still don¡¯t believe you, this greenhorn, have any way to do it, and you¡¯re so arrogant that you didn¡¯t let the doctors downstairs help you. But I will say one thing, if you can¡¯t wake the old master up, you definitely won¡¯t live to see tomorrow¡¯s sun!¡± Poison Scorpion¡¯s face blatantly carried a murderous intent. The aura she emitted made her seem not like a flirtatious woman, but like an Asura returning from a battlefield. ¡°Haha,¡± Xiao Yifei shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and looked at the Poison Scorpion, ¡°I like beauties with character like you. Originally, I thought I¡¯d just need to wake Dog King up simply, but seeing you like this, I¡¯ve changed my mind.¡± Poison Scorpion¡¯s gaze sharpened, a flash of cold light crossed as she quickly placed her hand on the gun handle. She stared steadily at Xiao Yifei, ¡°How do you know the old master¡¯s title!¡± ¡°What are you doing? Don¡¯t be impulsive, beauty! Are we still going to save him?¡± Xiao Yifei yawned, ¡°It¡¯s getting late; let me save the person so I can sleep!¡± The fury in Poison Scorpion¡¯s eyes blazed fiercely. If she hadn¡¯t been uncertain whether this young man in front of her could really cure the old master, she would have long torn apart the lazy and flirtatious mouth of this young man! No one had dared to speak to her like that in all the years she had been by Jiang Mingquan¡¯s side! ¡°You said you¡¯ve changed your mind! Changed your mind about what!¡± Poison Scorpion looked at Xiao Yifei with a menacing gaze, as if the moment he regretted treating the old master, she would kill Xiao Yifei in the next second! ¡°Change my mind? What did I change my mind about?¡± Xiao Yifei tilted his head to think for a moment, then soon chuckled: ¡°I¡¯ve changed my mind about just waking Jiang Mingquan up. If I¡¯m going to save him, I¡¯m going to cure his illness!¡± Xiao Yifei declared proudly! ¡°If I really cure Jiang Mingquan¡¯s illness, what would you do?¡± Xiao Yifei raised his head, his eyes aggressively sweeping over Poison Scorpion¡¯s body, but she remained unmoved, expressionless as she watched him. ¡°If you can cure the old master¡¯s illness! You can do whatever you want!¡± Suddenly, Poison Scorpion smiled coquettishly, the previously expressionless woman now as charming as a blooming peony. She thrust her chest forward without a care. However, as soon as she finished speaking, Poison Scorpion¡¯s expression changed drastically. Her face abruptly showed no emotion, her eyes flickering with an unidentified red glow. She bit her lip, staring intently at Xiao Yifei, and said word by word, ¡°If you can¡¯t cure the old master, then I¡¯ll flay your skin, pull out your tendons, and tear you to pieces!¡± No one had ever made Poison Scorpion this angry, and anyone who had enraged her like this was mostly already meeting King Yan! Only Xiao Yifei was still jumping around alive. ¡°Alright, alright! Beauty, why are you getting so angry! Enough, enough, I won¡¯t tease you anymore, remember your words! I¡¯m off to treat the illness!¡± Xiao Yifei winked at Poison Scorpion, content with himself, then said again, ¡°You don¡¯t need to come into the room with me. I don¡¯t want to be disturbed by outsiders when I¡¯m treating the patient, and you don¡¯t have to worry I¡¯ll do something to Poison Scorpion, because Poison Scorpion is already in critical condition!¡± ¡°You!¡± Poison Scorpion¡¯s lips parted slightly as she took a step before the door leading into Jiang Mingquan¡¯s room was ¡®bang¡¯ shut by Xiao Yifei. Poison Scorpion stood at the door with her hands crossed over her chest, squeezing her ample weapons into an impressive curve. However, at that moment, Poison Scorpion had no interest in admiring her own figure as she clenched her teeth, staring at the closed door, having already killed Xiao Yifei a thousand times in her heart! After stepping through the door, Xiao Yifei was no longer the disdainful figure he had been outside. He squinted his eyes, his expression solemn as he approached Jiang Mingquan¡¯s bedside and looked at the man lying on the bed with a feeble aura. Xiao Yifei breathed deeply. Based on what the group of doctors downstairs told Xiao Yifei about Jiang Mingquan¡¯s condition, it wasn¡¯t straightforward, and even though he had the superpowers of X-ray vision and Consciousness Control, it was still a huge challenge for Xiao Yifei. Perhaps Xiao Yifei from a month ago would have had no ability to use his own powers for treatment, but after practicing that set of radio exercises every day, Xiao Yifei wanted to give it a try! Chapter 38 - 38 38 s Moralistic ?38: 38 chapters Moralistic 38: 38 chapters Moralistic He settled on a stool next to Jiang Mingquan and began to focus intently on him. From now on, he could only rely on himself. As Jiang Mingquan¡¯s body became progressively transparent in Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes, he quickly identified the areas of extensive necrosis in his body. That was why Xiao Yifei had consulted with a group of doctors downstairs earlier, saving a lot of time. Xiao Yifei¡¯s expression grew somber as he looked at the area, furrowing his brow slightly. The situation was worse than he had imagined! One necrotic tissue linked to another, combating Jiang Mingquan¡¯s immune system, but evidently, Jiang Mingquan¡¯s immune system was no match. Under the assault of the necrotic tissues, the immune system was losing ground. If no one treated Jiang Mingquan at this time, in a few more hours, his life would be in grave danger, beyond saving! ¡°This must be the reason Jiang Mingquan fell unconscious! The rejection reaction was too severe, leading his body to initiate a protective response, causing his unconsciousness. It¡¯s good that I arrived in time.¡± Xiao Yifei thought pensively. ¡°The pressing matter now is to deal with this necrotic tissue! This way, the condition won¡¯t worsen, and Jiang Mingquan should be able to wake up. Then we can consider other areas.¡± Xiao Yifei quickly scanned the rest of Jiang Mingquan¡¯s body, discovering various minor and major hidden ailments in each organ, but for now, he had to address the most pressing issue first. ¡°That¡¯s the only way, then.¡± Xiao Yifei looked serious and exerted his ¡°Consciousness Control¡± ability, joining forces with the immune system to corral the necrotic tissues together. Because of the sheer amount of necrotic tissue, this task was truly a test for Xiao Yifei! ¡°Don¡¯t rush! Take it slowly!¡± Sweat slowly began to form on Xiao Yifei¡¯s forehead, but at this moment, he couldn¡¯t afford to be distracted. He concentrated intensely, like Yu Gong moving mountains, slowly fusing the necrotic tissues together, yet above his line of transvision sight, countless more necrotic tissues waited for him. Meanwhile, as Xiao Yifei was fervently treating Jiang Mingquan, dozens of kilometers away at Shangjing Hospital, because Xiao Yifei had been taken away, a phone call made by Wu Rui turned the normally quiet hospital at night into complete chaos. ¡°Then their people smashed our hospital, and Doctor Xiao, fearing they would commit outrageous acts here, complied and went with those people. Director Nangong, that¡¯s pretty much the situation,¡± Wu Rui, her nose red from probably crying earlier, spoke softly to Nangong Yun, ¡°Director Nangong, you must quickly save Doctor Xiao! Those people looked fierce and menacing, what if something happens to Doctor Xiao, what then!¡± As it turned out, Wu Rui¡¯s call had been to Nangong Yun. Most of the hospital staff knew that Xiao Yifei was associated with Nangong Yun, so in her urgency, Wu Rui could only think of Nangong Yun. ¡°These thugs! It¡¯s illegal! Don¡¯t they know that? To dare, in front of so many people, to come to Shangjing Hospital and forcibly coerce a doctor to leave with them! Has this place become lawless?¡± Nangong Yun¡¯s eyes widened, her pretty face filled with cold anger; on receiving Wu Rui¡¯s call, Nangong Yun immediately came to the scene. Upon learning the details, she was furiously incredulous, unable to comprehend how people could be so lawless! ¡°No way! I must call the police right now!¡± Nangong Yun¡¯s eyes were filled with worry, fearing that the longer the delay, the greater the danger to Xiao Yifei¡¯s safety! ¡°But we¡¯ve already tried calling the police; they said the earliest they can dispatch is tomorrow morning! But by tomorrow morning, it¡¯ll be too late!¡± Wu Rui clenched her hands nervously. They had already attempted to alert the police, but there seemed to be some issue at the station¡ªshe was told there were no officers available at the moment. ¡°Could these people really be so lawless now!¡± Nangong Yun slapped the wall angrily, ¡°I¡¯m going to call Vice President Li and Vice President Wu to see if they have any solution, if they too have no other options.¡± Nangong Yun gritted her teeth, ¡°Then I¡¯ll have no choice but to call Grandpa!¡± True to her word, Nangong Yun pulled out her phone and dialed both Li Entang and Wu Shancong, who were displeased at being disturbed from their sleep, ¡°What is it! Is it really such a big deal that you have to call us at this hour? If he¡¯s been taken away, so be it. I really don¡¯t believe they dare do anything to Xiao Yifei!¡± The two vice presidents initially didn¡¯t want to pay attention to Nangong Yun, but after her persistent pleading, they grudgingly rushed from their homes to the emergency hall. Upon arriving at the emergency hall, the first thing the two vice presidents were shocked by was a suitcase full of RMB casually thrown on the ground. Then, they very perfunctorily inquired about what had happened. ¡°Oh, so some guys in black came in the middle of the night and took Xiao Yifei away, huh? Said it¡¯s to treat his sickness, right? What¡¯s there to worry about? Once the disease is cured, Xiao Yifei will naturally come back. Why fuss about it? Don¡¯t bother with that brat!¡± Wu Shancong yawned, his face showing utter indifference. ¡°Exactly, how big of a deal is this to warrant such a fuss?¡± Li Entang glanced at the suitcase of money on the floor, his eyes slightly brightening, ¡°Besides, haven¡¯t they already compensated us with money? Oh right, I took that money. It¡¯s with me now. Come find me when it¡¯s time to fix the emergency hall.¡± As soon as Li Entang finished speaking, he walked toward the suitcase, bent over, and hugged it in his arms. ¡°How can you be like this!¡± Nangong Yun stomped her feet, furious. She had never thought that two seemingly moral vice presidents would turn out to be such hypocritical, merciless villains. Instead of trying to solve the issue as her hospital faced a crisis, their first reaction was to focus on the money! ¡°What about us? Xiao Yifei is not my son; why should I care so much about him!¡± Wu Shancong glanced at the suitcase of money Li Entang was holding, calculating in his mind how much was inside and how much he could get for himself. ¡°Exactly! Xiao Yifei has grown up; he¡¯s got arms and legs. Even if he can¡¯t handle it, can¡¯t he just run?¡± Li Entang and Wu Shancong played off each other perfectly. For them, addicted to corruption, big money or small, as long as it was money, they always thought crooked thoughts. Moreover, Li Entang glanced at the suitcase in his arms, which easily contained hundreds of thousands. ¡°This night out wasn¡¯t a loss!¡± Li Entang squinted his eyes and started to smile. Chapter 39 - 39 39 Speculation and Profiteering ?39: Chapter 39 Speculation and Profiteering 39: Chapter 39 Speculation and Profiteering ¡°How did you guys know he could escape! There were more than ten burly men in black! How could he possibly run away!¡± Nangong Yun was really angry, and for the first time, she shouted at the two of them. ¡°Oh come on! Don¡¯t worry about that brat! What could possibly happen!¡± They both dismissively waved their hands, indifferently saying in unison. ¡°How can we not worry! When Doctor Xiao Yifei was taken away by them, it felt incredibly dangerous! Especially that leader, Meng Hu, he looked so fierce!¡± Wu Rui couldn¡¯t hold back anymore! With tears in her eyes, her small chest heaved rapidly with anxiety. ¡°Meng Hu!¡± Li Entang, who was about to turn away and leave, stopped in his tracks when he heard the name: ¡°Is the Meng Hu you mentioned a big, burly man with a face full of scars?¡± Li Entang quickly turned around and grabbed Wu Shancong, who was already walking towards the exit. ¡°It seemed like that, and he was also very tall, wearing black clothes, he looked just like a murderer!¡± Wu Rui carefully answered. Upon hearing Wu Rui¡¯s description, Li Entang¡¯s eyes lit up with excitement. ¡°That¡¯s him!¡± Then, he just couldn¡¯t hide the joy on his face, and hurriedly pulled Wu Shancong aside. ¡°What¡¯s going on! Making such a mystery in the middle of the night!¡± Wu Shancong was somewhat reluctant. ¡°You wouldn¡¯t earn money when given the chance?¡± Li Entang said excitedly, ¡°Meng Hu! Have you never heard of this name? Didn¡¯t I tell you last time about how the big leader at the Ninth Hospital got rich? Wasn¡¯t it because they sold medical equipment to a ¡®Meng¡¯ who had more money than sense!¡± Whenever money was mentioned, Li Entang¡¯s eyes would shine: ¡°They said after selling those second-hand medical equipment to Meng Hu, and after patching up their own hospital¡¯s deficits, they made a clean profit of 3 million! And then, the vice-president of the Ninth Hospital casually treated Meng Hu¡¯s big boss for a disease, and just the consultation fee was this amount!¡± Li Entang held up five fingers. ¡°Fifty thousand?¡± Wu Shancong guessed. ¡°Way too little! Exactly half a million!¡± Li Entang¡¯s forehead gleamed with excitement: ¡°In the end, the big boss of the Ninth Hospital even gave me the address of Meng Hu¡¯s big boss. Do you know where he lives? He lives in ¡®Wood Garden Villa¡¯! Can just anybody live there? I¡¯m telling you, we could really strike it rich now! Meng Hu is so anxious to kidnap someone in the middle of the night, what does that tell you! It shows that Meng Hu¡¯s big boss needs a doctor right now! Although we haven¡¯t treated anyone in a while, we¡¯re still better than that waste, Xiao Yifei, aren¡¯t we! If we bring a batch of medical equipment to Meng Hu, wouldn¡¯t they consider it as timely help? Now we can finally cover our bad debts!¡± After hearing Li Entang¡¯s words, Wu Shancong was truly shocked: ¡°I was wondering how the director of the Ninth Hospital suddenly became so wealthy! He was all secretive when I asked him about it! I had no idea that this was the reason he got rich!¡± But Wu Shancong remained calm: ¡°But what if we deliver the stuff and they don¡¯t need it? Besides, if Meng Hu¡¯s backing is really as powerful as you say, what if they look down on us?¡± Li Entang had lost his reason by now: ¡°It¡¯s precisely because Meng Hu¡¯s big boss is so powerful that they wouldn¡¯t care about our small amount of money! Hurry up and tell me if you¡¯re in or not! If you are, I¡¯ll move the goods from the warehouse right now. This is a chance to make a fortune! If we hesitate, Xiao Yifei might cure the big boss¡¯ disease and then there¡¯s no deal for us!¡± Wu Shancong, thinking of the mountain of gambling debts he owed, clenched his teeth and said resolutely: ¡°Let¡¯s do it! Let¡¯s hurry! We¡¯ll take the goods from the warehouse first, and we can pay for them after we get the money back! This time we¡¯ll make a big score!¡± At that moment, Li Entang broke into a wide smile. He patted Wu Shancong¡¯s shoulder and said cheerfully, ¡°That¡¯s more like it! Hurry up and pack, you go get the supplies from the warehouse, we¡¯re leaving right now!¡± Watching Wu Shancong run towards the warehouse, Li Entang turned back to face Nangong Yun and the others. He cleared his throat and said with an air of integrity, ¡°After discussing with Vice President Wu, we feel that we cannot abandon any of our hospital staff. As it happens, I also know where Meng Hu is, and we¡¯re going to bring Xiao Yifei back right away!¡± ¡°To demonstrate our stance on this situation, I have decided to join Vice President Wu and accompany you to bring Xiao Yifei back!¡± Li Entang stood righteous and imposing. If Nangong Yun hadn¡¯t already seen through Li Entang¡¯s character, she might have actually believed the sly fox¡¯s words. However, since Nangong Yun heard that Xiao Yifei could be found, she decided to see what kind of medicine these two crafty foxes were really selling in their gourd. Before long, Nangong Yun saw Wu Shancong driving a small truck over. The back box of the truck was filled with medical equipment! Nangong Yun¡¯s mind was filled with doubts, but she cleverly didn¡¯t say anything and sat in the small truck, in silence. ¡°Director Nangong! Doctor Xiao is such a good person! You must bring him back safely!¡± As they were leaving, Wu Rui leaned on the car window, her face full of earnest pleading. ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± Nangong Yun smiled and nodded at Wu Rui. By all accounts, both Li Entang and Wu Shancong had designated drivers of their own. But for certain unsanctioned activities like this one, it had to be them who took action. Hence, they saw Li Entang, following the address given by the Vice President of Ninth Hospital, hurriedly directing Wu Shancong to set off. ¡°I hope that damned Xiao Yifei runs into trouble, then the money will be all ours!¡± Li Entang, who was driving, cursed maliciously in his heart. Meanwhile, Xiao Yifei, who was currently at ¡®Mu Yuan Villa,¡¯ was barely holding on. Almost an hour had passed, and Duxie was anxiously pacing outside the Dog King¡¯s room. If it weren¡¯t for the fear of disturbing the treatment Xiao Yifei mentioned, he probably would have burst in by now. As an orphan who had received harsh training here under Jiang Mingquan, yet also experiencing care from him akin to a father¡¯s, it was the first time the capricious Duxie showed such distinct emotional turmoil¡ªas one could imagine, her feelings for Jiang Mingquan were deep and genuine. ¡°No, if it stays quiet like this after another five minutes, I¡¯m going in!¡± Duxie glanced at her watch, her face full of urgency. In the room, Xiao Yifei was already sweating profusely! Xiao Yifei¡¯s throat was working like a damaged bellows, breathing heavily; his wide eyes fixed, relying purely on his willpower to sustain his actions. Inside Jiang Mingquan¡¯s body, countless lethal diseased tissues had clustered together. Xiao Yifei was in the midst of completing the final part of the task, which was to pick out each of the fragmented diseased tissues one by one. Just as Xiao Yifei was exerting all his strength, Jiang Mingquan¡¯s eyeballs twitched slightly! Finally, all the diseased tissues had gathered in one place. The next step was to expel these necrotic tissues from the body. Xiao Yifei stared with wide eyes, his spirit stretched to its limit. ¡°Let¡¯s keep it simple! The diseased tissues can just be expelled through the mouth!¡± ¡°Hey!¡± Xiao Yifei slowly pushed a large swath of tissue towards Jiang Mingquan¡¯s throat, then took a deep breath, mobilizing his last bit of mental strength, and forcefully pushed a large chunk of necrotic diseased tissue forward. The tissue burst out swiftly, flying out of Jiang Mingquan¡¯s mouth. However, the necrotic tissue was blood-red in color, very similar to fresh blood. At first glance, it looked as though Jiang Mingquan was spewing blood. Chapter 40 - 40 40 A Minor Doctor ?40: Chapter 40 A Minor Doctor 40: Chapter 40 A Minor Doctor Having completed the final step, Xiao Yifei no longer had any strength left; he slid off the stool and collapsed on the ground. ¡°Ah! You bastard! What exactly have you done to the old man!¡± Unable to wait any longer outside, the Poison Scorpion forcefully pushed open the door and saw Jiang Mingquan coughing up necrotic tissue. Witnessing the scene before her, a sharp pang seized her heart¡ªshe thought Xiao Yifei had done something to Jiang Mingquan! The Poison Scorpion let out a heart-wrenching scream. Without a second thought, she pulled out a gun, aimed it at Xiao Yifei, who lay collapsed on the ground, and was about to pull the trigger. ¡°Little Hero! Stop!¡± It was at that moment that the familiar voice of Jiang Mingquan pulled Poison Scorpion back from the brink of collapse. Tears already streaming down her face, Poison Scorpion stared blankly at Jiang Mingquan, who now had his eyes open on the hospital bed, too shocked to add up: ¡°Old man, you¡¯re awake!¡± ¡°Little Hero! Hahaha, that name is really funny!¡± Xiao Yifei, collapsed on the ground, couldn¡¯t help but laugh weakly at Jiang Mingquan¡¯s nickname for Poison Scorpion, and looking at her mixed with joy and sorrow, he said in a voice as feeble as a candle in the wind, ¡°What were you screaming about just now! Isn¡¯t the person awake now!¡± Even Xiao Yifei, who was so weak he couldn¡¯t even move a finger, still didn¡¯t forget to tease Poison Scorpion: ¡°Cry if you must, but don¡¯t sway your chest! It makes my heart flutter!¡± Poison Scorpion glared fiercely at Xiao Yifei. Now she had no time to bicker with him. Looking at Jiang Mingquan who was now awake on the bed, she wept with joy: ¡°Old man! You really are awake! It¡¯s so wonderful! You have no idea how worried I was for you!¡± Although he still appeared a bit weak, Jiang Mingquan lay in the bed, at least looking sprightly, which was hard to imagine for someone who had just regained consciousness: ¡°Little Hero, don¡¯t cry, I¡¯m all right now, aren¡¯t I? But seriously, we really must thank this young man beside me. Without him, I¡¯m afraid this old life of mine would have been long gone!¡± Jiang Mingquan spoke with a cheerful laugh. The man who had just awakened no longer seemed like the frail old man at the end of his years. The moment he came to, those bright, spirited eyes opened and closed, and an imposing aura, decisive and commanding, surged forth. ¡°Old man!¡± Sniffling and sobbing, Poison Scorpion stepped forward, leaning on Jiang Mingquan¡¯s frail body, weeping uncontrollably, only now truly resembling a young girl! ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay! The old man is awake now, isn¡¯t he!¡± Jiang Mingquan gently stroked the scorpion¡¯s head, then turned his head with some difficulty to look at Xiao Yifei, ¡°I am able to see the light again today, all thanks to you, sir! You have great talent! You have worked hard for this old man!¡± Jiang Mingquan spoke these words with a hint of reverence; since he knew who had helped him, it was clear that though he had been comatose and unable to move, he was still aware of his own body. He felt an external force continuously aiding him in his fight against the illness, until he overcame it. This power, in Jiang Mingquan¡¯s perception, was overwhelmingly strong! Though he did not know what it was, he was very certain that all of this was the doing of the young man who had collapsed to the ground! ¡°It¡¯s a trifle!¡± Xiao Yifei, lying there, casually waved his hand and said indifferently. The scorpion, still unable to believe her eyes upon seeing the conscious Jiang Mingquan, couldn¡¯t comprehend how this young man, who seemed only capable of bragging, managed to cure the old master¡¯s condition that had stumped so many formidable doctors without anyone¡¯s help. ¡°May I have the honor of knowing your esteemed name, sir?¡± Jiang Mingquan asked solemnly. Even though he didn¡¯t know Xiao Yifei¡¯s background, the sheer skill Xiao Yifei had displayed meant he deserved respect. Xiao Yifei, now feeling slightly better, stood up and said calmly, ¡°I am Xiao Yifei. I look forward to your guidance.¡± The scorpion, however, still couldn¡¯t stand Xiao Yifei¡¯s indifferent demeanor. In her memory, everyone who came to see Jiang Mingquan, regardless of their age, showed great respect at the very least, whereas Xiao Yifei acted neither inferior nor arrogant. ¡°What¡¯s with you! Do you really think just because you cured the old master by chance, you can be so arrogant?¡± The scorpion looked at Xiao Yifei with dissatisfaction and then turned to Jiang Mingquan, ¡°Old master! This Xiao Yifei is full of arrogance! Who knows how he muddled through to make you come to! I¡¯m afraid it was just a fluke, and I don¡¯t trust him! There are many doctors downstairs; let them have a look at you again later!¡± Having said her piece, the scorpion expected Jiang Mingquan¡¯s support; however, upon hearing her words, Jiang Mingquan¡¯s expression suddenly darkened. He turned to the scorpion and said sternly, ¡°Scorpion! How do you talk to a sir like that! I am well aware of my own illness! Had it not been for sir¡¯s righteousness in saving me, I would surely have lost my life! It is my honor that sir possesses such ability and is willing to help me. You dare to disrespect sir? And even question him! Apologize to the sir immediately!¡± Jiang Mingquan lived up to the title of Dog King; his countenance darkened, the temperature in the room dropped a couple of degrees, and with his imposing aura, he showed a level of respect for Xiao Yifei that the scorpion found hard to believe. Nonetheless, the obedient scorpion still turned her head and looked at Xiao Yifei, saying coldly, ¡°Sorry! I didn¡¯t know you were that powerful. I apologize to you!¡± Xiao Yifei smiled but did not engage the scorpion for the moment; instead, he turned his head towards Jiang Mingquan and said, ¡°You are too kind, Jiang Elder. I am but a humble doctor. It is my duty to save lives and heal the wounded. However, it took all my effort to wake you up today. To cure the seventy-three afflictions in your body, I might need some more time.¡± Jiang Mingquan originally thought Xiao Yifei had only come to help him awaken from his coma, but upon hearing that Xiao Yifei was also willing to treat his hidden ailments, Jiang Mingquan was in disbelief. He suddenly closed his eyes, then quickly opened them again. Seeing Xiao Yifei still standing before him, Jiang Mingquan¡¯s body trembled with excitement: ¡°Sir, I thought I was hallucinating when you said those words. Such talent is rare in our nation. That you are willing to repeatedly extend your aid for an old man like me, I, Jiang Mingquan, am eternally grateful!¡± Jiang Mingquan struggled to get up, but the tubes inserted all over his body made him uncomfortable. Annoyed, he yanked all the tubes out and bowed deeply to Xiao Yifei: ¡°I could feel the effort you put into saving me. You pulled me back from the brink of death. Sir, you are my savior! And now you say you will help me eradicate the ailments that plague me¡ªthese ailments that have been like fishbones in my throat. If sir truly can eliminate them one by one, you will have given me, Jiang Mingquan, a second lease on life! I cannot adequately repay these two great debts. Sir, if you ever need something in the future, just command me, and Jiang Mingquan will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!¡± ¡°Old master!¡± Seeing Jiang Mingquan offering such a grand gesture to Xiao Yifei, the scorpion, who was concerned about Jiang Mingquan¡¯s health, quickly went to help him. Chapter 41 - 41 41 Why the Execution by Shooting ?41: Chapter 41: Why the Execution by Shooting 41: Chapter 41: Why the Execution by Shooting ¡°Could he really be that incredible?¡± The Poison Scorpion listened to Jiang Mingquan¡¯s description, almost convinced that Jiang Mingquan indeed had significant skills, and couldn¡¯t help but regard Xiao Yifei with newfound respect. After Jiang Mingquan finished bowing, he lay back down on the bed with the help of The Poison Scorpion, and the greatly pleased Jiang Mingquan even seemed to look healthier. But at that moment, Xiao Yifei said earnestly, ¡°Mr. Jiang, your body has been damaged due to overuse in your younger years, which has affected your Yuan Qi, and, considering your advanced age, although I can cure the hidden illnesses in your body and relieve you of these pains, it¡¯s impossible to restore you to the state you were in when you were young!¡± ¡°Hahaha! I know that!¡± said Jiang Mingquan with a chuckle, ¡°I know my own body. It¡¯s already rotten to the core. For the gentleman to be able to cure those hidden illnesses is already my greatest fortune!¡± Suddenly, like he had just remembered something, Jiang Mingquan looked at Xiao Yifei and said, ¡°With such great talent, sir, where might you serve?¡± Xiao Yifei hadn¡¯t spoken when The Poison Scorpion, who knew the situation, chimed in, ¡°I seem to have heard that he works at the emergency department of Shangjing Hospital, as a mere doctor!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Jiang Mingquan was somewhat surprised; he wasn¡¯t curious as to why Xiao Yifei, with such remarkable medical skill, was willing to work in a small emergency room at Shangjing Hospital, but after a moment, Jiang Mingquan understood, ¡°Haha, sir, I truly admire your realm! A great hermit hides in the market; what a state of mind, sir!¡± ¡°I was actually thinking, sir, if you weren¡¯t occupied, you could stay here. It would be convenient for treating me, and I could also properly attend to sir. But since you have your own work, I won¡¯t say more.¡± Jiang Mingquan lay in bed, looking up to Xiao Yifei with admiration. ¡°Haha, Mr. Jiang, you jest!¡± said Xiao Yifei lightly, yet inside, he was already feeling quite helpless. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he hadn¡¯t had the Clairvoyance Superpower for long, how could he still be so unknown in an emergency room! ¡°With such talent, sir, how did my subordinates manage to find you?¡± Jiang Mingquan was curious. In his opinion, it wouldn¡¯t be easy to come across a reclusive expert like Xiao Yifei. At this point, The Poison Scorpion looked embarrassed; she certainly couldn¡¯t say that it was because Meng Hu had gone directly to Shangjing Hospital and randomly abducted a doctor to treat the old master, like a blind cat running into a dead mouse. This was when Xiao Yifei stepped forward, easing The Poison Scorpion¡¯s embarrassment, ¡°Mr. Jiang, destiny allows those who are meant to meet to come together. My ability to be here to help you is our shared fate. As for the specifics of why they found me, there¡¯s no need to go into that.¡± Jiang Mingquan was somewhat bewildered by Xiao Yifei¡¯s enigmatic air, and Gou Wang nodded vigorously, ¡°Sir is right, sir is right!¡± And Xiao Yifei, who had stepped up to help The Poison Scorpion, thus earned a bit of her goodwill; she no longer disliked Xiao Yifei as much as before. While upstairs conversing with Jiang Mingquan, Xiao Yifei suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a room full of doctors downstairs waiting for his good news, so he turned and smiled at Jiang Mingquan, ¡°Mr. Jiang, rest for a while. I¡¯ll come back to check on you later. I have something to deal with downstairs.¡± Jiang Mingquan nodded, ¡°Go ahead, sir! Let Xiao Du accompany you!¡± Xiao Yifei greeted Jiang Mingquan and then left Jiang Mingquan¡¯s room. The Scorpion followed closely behind Xiao Yifei. Ever since Jiang Mingquan regained consciousness, Scorpion¡¯s emotions were a bit unstable at first, but now she slowly returned to her usual cold demeanor. ¡°Little Scorpion, that¡¯s such a nice name. I¡¯ll just call you that from now on!¡± Xiao Yifei said with a mischievous smile as he looked at Scorpion, his tone full of teasing. ¡°Call me whatever you want! The important thing is that you¡¯ve healed the old man, so do whatever makes you happy.¡± Scorpion frowned slightly, her voice devoid of any emotion. Even though Xiao Yifei had awakened Jiang Mingquan and claimed he could cure Jiang Mingquan¡¯s hidden ailment, Scorpion still didn¡¯t quite believe in Xiao Yifei. ¡°Oh! Right! Speaking of curing Jiang Mingquan¡¯s illness, do you still remember the bet we made?¡± Xiao Yifei suddenly stopped walking and swept his gaze over Scorpion¡¯s enticing figure once again, ¡°If I cure Jiang Mingquan, I get to do whatever I want, right?¡± Scorpion looked up directly at Xiao Yifei, trying to calm her emotions: ¡°You said you¡¯d cure the master completely, didn¡¯t you? Isn¡¯t there still seventy-three hidden ailments left untreated?¡± There were no ripples in Scorpion¡¯s profound gaze as she parted her cherry lips and uttered another phrase: ¡°If you really manage to cure all the hidden ailments inside the old master, when that day comes, I¡¯ll be yours!¡± Xiao Yifei was taken aback by her words. He had initially just wanted to tease Scorpion a bit, but she had taken his words seriously. ¡°I was just kidding with you!¡± Xiao Yifei said, his face reddening as he scratched his head. After all, he was still a virgin, and Scorpion¡¯s bold statement took him aback. Hearing this, Scorpion didn¡¯t say anything but quietly followed Xiao Yifei down the stairs. However, just as Scorpion was following Xiao Yifei into a room full of doctors, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and pressed close to Xiao Yifei. Through the clothes, he could feel the tumultuous waves of Scorpion¡¯s body. Panic-stricken and about to retreat, he was grasped by Scorpion, who whispered in his ear with a breath as soft as orchids: ¡°I¡¯m serious. As long as you cure the old master¡¯s ailments, I¡¯ll be yours!¡± It wasn¡¯t until he pushed open the door and entered, faced with a room full of doctors looking at him with eager anticipation, that Xiao Yifei snapped out of the shock from Scorpion¡¯s sudden behavior. His little heart was still pounding wildly. Xiao Yifei stood expressionless, his gaze vacant, actually stunned by Scorpion¡¯s actions. Scorpion, a woman who doesn¡¯t talk much and always has a cold face, except where Jiang Mingquan is concerned, was unlikely to say anything more. The two of them stood in the room like utility poles, and instantly the atmosphere became oppressively tense. Scorpion seemed lost in thought, her fingers idly tapping on the handle of a gun poking out. This scene sent everyone¡¯s mood plummeting to freezing point. ¡°Could it be that he didn¡¯t succeed? Are they planning to make an example of him by killing him in front of us to intimidate us?¡± The panic in Qian Wu¡¯s eyes was impossible to hide as he looked uncertainly at Xiao Yifei and Scorpion. ¡°They wouldn¡¯t really dare to kill someone in front of us, would they? He¡¯s so young, is he really going to die here?¡± Doctor Tian He clenched his teeth, quivering with anxiety. ¡°I told you so! He¡¯s not capable! He¡¯s too young! And so arrogant! This is courting death! Looking at the two of them, not only is the patient not saved, but there might be even worse complications. Now we¡¯re all going to be held responsible for this fool¡¯s mistake!¡± Chapter 42 - 42 42 You Can Go Home Now ?42: Chapter 42: You Can Go Home Now 42: Chapter 42: You Can Go Home Now Zhao Ziguo had already given up; he half-closed his eyes, his heart filled with resentment towards Xiao Yifei. Yet still, no one spoke, until the scorpion seemed unable to bear it any longer and nudged Xiao Yifei with her elbow. ¡°Ah!¡± Xiao Yifei woke from his daze, shouting loudly as he was jolted suddenly, startling everyone in the room. ¡°It¡¯s all over, all over!¡± Everyone closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight of what was to come: ¡°Now there will be trouble!¡± However, after they closed their eyes, they did not hear the expected dull gunshot. Driven by curiosity, Qian Wu slowly opened his eyes a crack and saw Xiao Yifei standing unharmed in front of them, looking at them with an expression one might give to a fool. ¡°What are you doing? Why are all of you closing your eyes? Are you tired?¡± Xiao Yifei scratched his head, puzzled as to why he had merely spaced out for a moment and all the doctors had their eyes shut, wearing expressions of utter despair. ¡°Could it be that they think my dazed look is too handsome, and they don¡¯t want to look at me?¡± Xiao Yifei touched his chin, wondering to himself. ¡°You weren¡¯t shot?¡± Qian Wu asked, full of shock and disbelief. Hearing Qian Wu¡¯s voice, everyone else opened their eyes as well and saw the unharmed Xiao Yifei. ¡°Why would I be shot?¡± Xiao Yifei was completely baffled: ¡°Didn¡¯t I say I would be back in a moment? Now that I¡¯m back, why do you all look like this?¡± Xiao Yifei was as confused as a monk encountering a riddle. ¡°You didn¡¯t cure the Dog King¡¯s illness, yet you weren¡¯t killed? Did you make a secret deal with them? Now they¡¯re not going to kill you; they are going to kill us instead!¡± Zhao Ziguo yelled out in alarm, pointing at Xiao Yifei and bellowing, ¡°How could you do this to us! Are you trying to drag us all down with you?¡± ¡°What are you talking about? Was your head kicked by a donkey? I cured the Dog King¡¯s illness; I came back to tell you that you can all go home,¡± Xiao Yifei said somewhat angrily, speaking directly to the gathered doctors. There was complete silence in the room. Everyone was stunned. No one had anticipated that Xiao Yifei could actually cure Jiang Mingquan¡¯s illness, and judging by Xiao Yifei¡¯s relaxed appearance, it seemed he had not exerted much effort¡ªeffortlessly curing an illness that had left a roomful of distinguished doctors distressed and at their wits¡¯ end? ¡°Is what he¡¯s saying true? Is he really not deceiving us?¡± That was the first thought that came to the doctors¡¯ minds. Those who had believed in Xiao Yifei before felt a surge of joy welling up in their hearts. Along with this joy came disbelief; it seemed like a delusion that Xiao Yifei could resolve so easily an ailment that was thought to be incurable! Seeing that nobody was speaking, Xiao Yifei frowned. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear me clearly? I said the illness is cured; you can all go back now.¡± Having no other choice, Xiao Yifei repeated himself once more. Yet, the room remained silent, everyone staring with wide eyes, full of astonishment, at Xiao Yifei, speechless. Even though Xiao Yifei had repeated the news of the treatment¡¯s success, all the doctors in the room had confirmed this information the second time they heard Xiao Yifei speak. However, swaying between great joy and great shock, the doctors found it hard to digest the surprising news Xiao Yifei brought to them, inevitably leaving them dazed. ¡°Hey! What¡¯s wrong with you all! You were all acting normal when I left! Why do you all look so neurotic now that I¡¯m back?¡± Xiao Yifei frowned and spoke with confusion. ¡°Forget it, forget it, you guys really are... You hear the good news I bring, and you don¡¯t even react at all, how uninteresting. Fine, no one¡¯s stopping you now, just go ahead and grab your phones at the door, they will have someone send you back!¡± Xiao Yifei could not understand what was wrong with the group of doctors, he shook his head and turned to leave. Just then, Qian Wu suddenly stuttered out, ¡°You... are you telling the truth? You¡¯re not deceiving us?!¡± ¡°Oh! Finally, someone is paying attention to me!¡± Xiao Yifei turned around and touched his nose, ¡°Of course I¡¯m not deceiving you, go ahead and go back first. I still have some things to do, you go ahead.¡± ¡°Thank... thank you! When we get back, we will definitely thank you in person!¡± At this point, Tian He also spoke up, his eyes vacant as he looked at Xiao Yifei. The tremendous ups and downs made it difficult for him to distinguish between reality and illusion. This group of doctors, stunned and speechless by Xiao Yifei¡¯s nonchalant demeanor, all stood dumbfounded. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s nothing; after all, it¡¯s also to help myself!¡± Xiao Yifei said casually, waving his hand. He didn¡¯t take Tian He¡¯s words to heart. ¡°Ah, what a letdown! I thought you¡¯d all be shocked!¡± Xiao Yifei sighed lightly and pushed open the door to leave. He had thought that his stunning performance would shock the doctors, but one was calmer than the next, leaving Xiao Yifei feeling somewhat unamused. However, just as Xiao Yifei had stepped out the door, there suddenly erupted from the room behind him a deafening cacophony of celebratory cheers. It was hard to imagine that such a ruckus could come from a group of highly qualified doctors. ¡°Damn! This young man is really too awesome! How did he do it!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know! Anyway, we couldn¡¯t do it! He saved us! We mustn¡¯t forget him!¡± ¡°Yeah! It¡¯s so exhilarating, we can finally go home now. Oh, Zhao Ziguo! Don¡¯t forget what you once said!¡± ¡°Hahaha, Zhao Ziguo is dumbfounded now!¡± Zhao Ziguo, mentioned by their mouths, sat on the ground dumbstruck, as if he hadn¡¯t yet emerged from the astonishment. But after a moment, a wry smile slowly appeared on Zhao Ziguo¡¯s face: ¡°There¡¯s always someone better out there, someone younger worth fearing. From now on, no matter what happens, I, Zhao Ziguo, won¡¯t forget what I¡¯ve said. I will be at this young man¡¯s beck and call!¡± Zhao Ziguo was utterly convinced! Having left the room, Xiao Yifei went back upstairs, with the obedient Poison Scorpion following behind him. Xiao Yifei had originally gone downstairs to tell the doctors the good news. Now that he had done so, he returned upstairs because he had some issues to discuss with Jiang Mingquan. Jiang Mingquan was leaning against the bedhead, drinking a bowl of pearl shark fin soup that the maid had just prepared for him. The news of his recovery had spread throughout the entire villa, and everyone¡¯s face was beaming with joy for Jiang Mingquan¡¯s revival. After drinking the soup, some color returned to Jiang Mingquan¡¯s face. Hearing a knock at the door, he hurriedly put down his bowl and gestured for the maid to open the door. Seeing Xiao Yifei, a look of respect appeared on Jiang Mingquan¡¯s face, ¡°Sir, you have returned!¡± Xiao Yifei stepped in with Poison Scorpion, and upon hearing Jiang Mingquan¡¯s address, he waved his hand, ¡°Mr. Jiang, please, there¡¯s no need to be so formal. Just call me Xiao Zhou!¡± Chapter 43 - 43 43 Do It All at Once ?43: Chapter 43: Do It All at Once 43: Chapter 43: Do It All at Once Jiang Mingquan nodded slightly with reservation. He sincerely respected Xiao Yifei because such a young man with exceptional medical skills was something Jiang Ming had never seen before. Being on good terms with a highly skilled doctor meant having a guarantee for one¡¯s health. ¡°Xiao... Xiao Yi, you keep addressing me as Mr. Jiang, so you must know who I am!¡± Jiang Mingquan said to Xiao Yifei gently. Xiao Yifei chuckled lightly and said nonchalantly to Dog King, ¡°I know, you are Dog King Jiang Mingquan.¡± The Dog King wasn¡¯t surprised at how calmly Xiao Yifei responded to knowing his name because, in his view, Xiao Yifei was qualified to do so. He sighed deeply, his tone filled with all sorts of ups and downs: ¡°My name is Jiang Mingquan. When I first came to Yanjing, I was often mocked because of my name, but when I was a child, my family was poor. They hoped this name would bring us completeness. However, it was just a formality.¡± Jiang Mingquan shook his head with a hint of sorrow and, like any ordinary old man, started to chat about family affairs with Xiao Yifei while Scorpion listened quietly on the side. It was the first time she had heard the old man talk about his own story. ¡°I couldn¡¯t stand the poverty at home and, having no choice, I took my mountain dog, Wangcai, and left the mountains for Yanjing. My dog¡¯s name was Wangcai, and my name, Mingquan, means ¡®famous dog,¡¯ which felt like fate. Unfortunately, I was uneducated and unskilled. What could I do after arriving? I could only engage in jobs that didn¡¯t require intelligence, and eventually, Wangcai died protecting me in a skirmish. That led to the formation of ¡®Canine Society,¡¯ and slowly I made a name as the Dog King. Everyone said I was reckless like a mad dog, but what could I do! Eventually, when I made some money, I wanted to go home for a visit, but when I returned, I found that nobody was there anymore.¡± Jiang Mingquan sighed deeply with immense sadness: ¡°Only now, when I was on the brink of death, did I realize that what matters most isn¡¯t wealth or reputation, but life!¡± ¡°Doctor Xiao Yi, thank you! You saved my life!¡± ¡°Xiao Ying, go and get me a card, the black card from the very bottom of my safe.¡± After expressing his emotions, Jiang Mingquan ordered Scorpion and then turned to Xiao Yifei, saying, ¡°Doctor Xiao, I know your realm is high and your abilities are great, and you already see money as something trivial, but still, I hope you will accept this card. It doesn¡¯t hold much money, but no matter how high your realm may be, Doctor Xiao, you still need to live. This money will help you improve your quality of life.¡± It didn¡¯t take long for Scorpion to hand an exquisitely crafted black bank card to Jiang Mingquan, who then handed it to Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei stared blankly at the card Jiang Mingquan placed in his hand. Growing up poor himself, he was far from viewing money as trivial and secretly wondered how much money might be inside the card. Just then, Jiang Mingquan spoke again, addressing Scorpion, ¡°I remember we have a piece of property near Shangjing Hospital, right?¡± Upon hearing this, Scorpion nodded, her expression troubled, as she said, ¡°But Elder, it seems that property was prepared for yourself, wasn¡¯t it? It took quite a lot of effort to sort out that place.¡± Jiang Mingquan waved his hand dismissively, ¡°What effort! Go and get the keys to the house and bring them to Doctor Xiao. And, I remember there is a car in the underground garage of that complex; get the car keys too and give them to Doctor Xiao.¡± Scorpion opened her mouth to speak but made no move. Seeing this, Jiang Mingquan urged, ¡°What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get them!¡± ¡°Yes, Elder!¡± Scorpion bowed her head and left to retrieve the keys that Jiang Mingquan had mentioned for Xiao Yifei. Jiang Mingquan saw the venomous scorpion leave and turned his head to look at Xiao Yifei with a smile, ¡°Doctor Xiao, just accept this modest gift. I¡¯m not aware of where you reside, so I¡¯ll give you that house near Shangjing Hospital. If you feel like living there, move in; if not, just leave it be. It¡¯s yours now to do with as you please. The car isn¡¯t anything special; just make do with it.¡± The venomous scorpion returned holding a bag and handed it to Xiao Yifei, saying coldly, ¡°Everything is inside, take it.¡± Xiao Yifei looked up at the venomous scorpion, puzzled by the sudden change in attitude, but he calmly accepted the items. To Jiang Mingquan, these were but trivial, whereas for Xiao Yifei, the future treatment he would provide for Jiang would also require much effort. Moreover, since Xiao Yifei had saved Jiang¡¯s life, he accepted the gifts without feeling embarrassed. Furthermore, the items given by Jiang were precisely what he needed, as his cramped rented room had become barely livable, and the greedy landlord had quite a problem with Xiao Yifei! Seeing Xiao Yifei accept the items, Jiang Mingquan showed a relieved expression on his face, fearing that Xiao Yifei might reject his gift! Downstairs, a bunch of doctors, upon confirming they could indeed leave the villa, also left with mixed feelings. As some left, others sped toward Jiang Mingquan¡¯s villa, arriving at the gates of ¡°Mu Yuan Mountain Villa¡± in a van driven by Wu Shancong. ¡°What are you here for?¡± The heavily guarded gatekeeper of ¡®Mu Yuan Mountain Villa¡¯ asked as he looked at the van driven by the white-haired Wu Shancong. ¡°We... we are headed to ¡®Mu Yuan Mountain Villa¡¯ No. 9, Emperor Garden!¡± Li Entang, looking at an address written by the deputy director of the Ninth People¡¯s Hospital, leaned on the window and told the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper frowned at the peculiar combination in the vehicle, two white-haired old men with an icy beauty sitting silently between them. He felt uneasy about it but knowing that not many are aware that No. 9 of ¡®Mu Yuan Mountain Villa¡¯ is Emperor Garden and with the security also aware that there had been frequent activity at Emperor Garden lately, he didn¡¯t make it difficult for Wu Shancong. ¡°Go ahead!¡± The gatekeeper waved his hand, signaling them to pass. ¡°Hey! Thank you!¡± Li Entang smiled ingratiatingly at the gatekeeper, and with a step on the accelerator by Wu Shancong, the van started moving. Driving the van through the vast ¡®Mu Yuan Mountain Villa¡¯, Wu Shancong and Li Entang admired the luxurious and high-end setup of the residential area, marveling to themselves, Wu Shancong saying to Li Entang, ¡°Wonder when we two could live in a place like this!¡± Li Entang smacked his lips and nodded, ¡°Yeah! It would be great if we had a chance to move into a place like this! Although our salaries are not low and the treatment isn¡¯t bad either, still¡ª¡± Li Entang abruptly realized that Nangong Yun was still sitting beside them and hurriedly swallowed the words he was about to say next. Nangong Yun had been quiet throughout the trip, and Li Entang almost forgot there was another person in the van. Chapter 44 - 44 44 Scared to Death ?44: Chapter 44 Scared to Death 44: Chapter 44 Scared to Death Nangong Yun seemed as if she hadn¡¯t heard a word Li Entang said, anxiety filling her eyes, not knowing after all this time if Xiao Yifei was still safe! ¡°Relax! Anyone who can live in ¡®Mu Yuan Villa¡¯ is no ordinary person, how could they possibly bother with a small fry like Xiao Yifei!¡± Li Entang curled his lip, disdainfully speaking. Finally, the trio found the lavishly decorated and majestic Emperor Garden. Seeing the guards in black pacing back and forth at the entrance, Li Entang frowned and said to Wu Shancong, ¡°How are we going to get in?¡± Wu Shancong also didn¡¯t know how to get in. The deputy director of Ninth Hospital had only given him an address without any additional information. Wu Shancong furrowed his brow and said to Li Entang, ¡°Drive up to it!¡± Li Entang stepped on the accelerator, and the van charged straight toward the gates of Emperor Garden, coming to a stop at the entrance. The guards in black at the door were suddenly shocked to see a van charging straight at them, thinking it was some enemy coming to seek vengeance. One of the guards shouted loudly, ¡°Alert! Trouble!¡± With a ¡®whoosh,¡¯ in just a few short seconds, around fifty men in black appeared out of nowhere, each holding a weapon, forming a semi-circle as if ready for battle, eyeing the van that had stopped at the villa¡¯s entrance. ¡°Who are you? Damn it! Do you not know this is Dog King¡¯s residence? Daring to make a commotion here! Tired of living, are you!¡± Meng Hu, hearing of the disturbance, quickly rushed out from the villa. Nearly two meters tall, muscles bulging all over, his presence was intimidating. Meng Hu cursed as he walked toward the van. Thinking it was a rival causing trouble, he didn¡¯t hesitate to announce Dog King¡¯s title to intimidate, only to find out that the occupants of the van were not rivals but two deputy directors from Shangjing Hospital. ¡°It¡¯s actually Dog King Jiang Mingquan! Damn it, why didn¡¯t you tell me this deal was with Dog King!¡± Li Entang, shivering, repeated the name, his eyes filled with panic! ¡°Damn it! I didn¡¯t know it was Dog King either!¡± cursed Wu Shancong. He continued to say, ¡°Dog King or not, the deal with the deputy director of Ninth Hospital was made, what are we afraid of! Just be careful, and it shouldn¡¯t be a problem!¡± For the two of them, who had been in Yanjing for many years, the name ¡®Dog King¡¯ was, of course, well-known. Due to the fact that they were both doctors, they understood the implications of the words ¡®Dog King¡¯ far better than others! ¡°Get out of the van! What sort of people are you!¡± Outside the van, Meng Hu knocked on the door with an alloy stick, his tone hostile. Then, to Meng Hu¡¯s astonishment, two white-haired old men descended from the van, one of them even offering Meng Hu a pleasing smile. ¡°Fuck! At your age, you¡¯re still out here hustling?¡± Meng Hu was utterly bewildered, his mouth agape as if he could swallow a whole egg. Wu Shancong, looking at the imposing man before him, spoke up, ¡°Ah! You must be Meng Hu! We¡¯re not out here hustling, we¡¯ve come to do business with you!¡± He flashed a sycophantic smile at Meng Hu, ¡°I had no idea this was Dog King¡¯s home. I apologize for the intrusion, please forgive us!¡± Li Entang also gave Meng Hu a silly smile. ¡°What the hell?¡± Meng Hu was completely lost, wondering how two old men suddenly appeared wanting to do business with him. Meng Hu shook his head, impatiently gesturing them away, ¡°Get lost, get lost, get lost, what business? Who wants to do business with you? Late at night, two old men shouldn¡¯t be wandering around! Don¡¯t get into any trouble later on!¡± ¡°It is legitimate business! It is legitimate business!¡± Wu Shancong flashed a grin at Meng Hu. ¡°Get lost! We have no business to do with you! You¡¯re here to cause trouble, aren¡¯t you?¡± A fierce light flashed in Meng Hu¡¯s eyes as he threatened Wu Shancong, ¡°Looking for trouble with your old arms and legs?!¡± Wu Shancong and Li Entang were startled by his words, standing in place somewhat panicked. Forced by the dog king¡¯s reputation, they felt a bit afraid, yet they didn¡¯t want to leave empty-handed. ¡°So we just make this trip for nothing?¡± Zhao Fengyi and Zhou Aiguo looked at each other, bewildered. ¡°We¡¯re not here to do business! We¡¯re here to look for someone!¡± At that moment, a cool and aloof female voice suddenly rang out from the car, and Nangong Yun also stepped out. Unafraid, she looked at Meng Hu and said, ¡°We are here to look for someone! Xiao Yifei, do you know him?¡± Meng Hu was initially startled by the cool voice, and then saw a frosty beauty emerging from the car. After hearing Nangong Yun¡¯s words, he clapped his hands and smiled with a grin, ¡°So you¡¯re here for Doctor Xiao Yifei! Should have said so earlier! Talking about doing business and such, gave me a fright! Please, come in quickly!¡± Meng Hu chuckled heartily, stepping aside to open the gate to the villa. Ever since Xiao Yifei had brought the dog king back to his senses, the villa was abuzz with the fact that the dog king greatly respected Xiao Yifei. Meng Hu, worried about the repercussions of capturing Xiao Yifei with force, was troubled by the fact he had no way to improve the relationship between them. To his surprise, a perfect opportunity had just presented itself. ¡°Come on in, come on in! Doctor Xiao Yifei is on the second floor!¡± Meng Hu wasn¡¯t thinking at all as to why someone would come looking for Xiao Yifei in the dead of night; he eagerly and politely ushered the three of them into the villa. ¡°What¡¯s going on, talking about business and nobody pays attention to us, but as soon as we say we¡¯re here for Xiao Yifei, they¡¯re so polite and open the door! Could there be some trick?¡± Li Entang looked anxiously at Wu Shancong and asked with concern. ¡°Could it be that Xiao Yi has already fallen victim to them? Are they planning to let us in to deal with us together?¡± Wu Shancong muttered to himself but immediately shook his head: ¡°Impossible, impossible! Never mind, let¡¯s not worry about it! This is a golden opportunity for us, aren¡¯t they looking for a doctor? If we just show off a little of our skills, we¡¯ll certainly be much better than that useless Xiao Yifei. No matter who needs treatment, this time, we must make a good profit!¡± The two of them hadn¡¯t even considered the possibility that Xiao Yifei had won the dog king¡¯s respect with his own abilities! ¡°Can¡¯t you two say something positive?¡± Nangong Yun gave the two men a cold glare, ¡°At a time like this, you¡¯re still thinking about making money! Do you have no conscience?¡± Having said that, Nangong Yun quickened her pace, anxious that the words of Wu Shancong might actually come true. Meanwhile, Wu Shancong cast a dismissive glance at Nangong Yun, then turned his head to look at Li Entang, ¡°But we must be careful in what we say and do later! We¡¯re not unaware of the dog king¡¯s title! He¡¯s ruthless and unpredictable! We must be cautious! Making money is important, but we must also ensure our safety!¡± For Li Entang and Wu Shancong, the name dog king was a symbol of bloodshed and violence. If they had known it was the dog king¡¯s place from the beginning, they wouldn¡¯t have dared to come, even if they had the nerve to do so! ¡°Speak as little as possible! Be extremely careful!¡± Before going upstairs, Wu Shancong was still instructing Li Entang. ¡°Yeah! I got it!¡± Chapter 45 - 45 45 Farewell ?45: Chapter 45 Farewell 45: Chapter 45 Farewell Li Entang nodded, his face serious. Upon reaching the second floor, guided by the villa¡¯s servants, the group of three finally arrived outside the Dog King¡¯s bedroom. ¡°It should be inside! But I have no idea what the situation is!¡± Wu Shancong frowned deeply, a grave expression on his face as he pondered how to knock on the door without incurring the Dog King¡¯s displeasure. Little did he know, after learning the address, Nangong Yun¡¯s eyes flashed with a decisive look, and without even knocking, she pushed the door open! ¡°What are you doing! Don¡¯t you know how terrifying the Dog King is? What is this, courting death? If you want to die, don¡¯t drag us down with you!¡± Li Entang was terrified by Nangong Yun¡¯s actions, and he quickly reached out his hand to grab Nangong Yun, but she agilely dodged and pushed the door open. ¡°What do we do now! How should we explain this to avoid angering the Dog King? If the Dog King gets angry, people really could die!¡± Wu Shancong shivered with nervousness. ¡°Xiao Yifei! Are you alright?¡± Nangong Yun, having flung the door open, barged into the room and yelled loudly. She seemed genuinely afraid that something might have happened to Xiao Yifei, her voice filled with anxiety. ¡°We¡¯re done for! We¡¯re definitely done for! This late at night! This girl is so loud! What if she disturbed the Dog King? We¡¯re finished, totally finished!¡± Wu Shancong stamped his feet nervously, and upon seeing this, Li Entang thought of turning and running, ¡°Can¡¯t we just not do this business?¡± However, the scene behind the opened door stunned all three of them. Li Entang and Wu Shancong opened their mouths in disbelief, taking in the scene within the room. Xiao Yifei was sitting in a chair, appearing relaxed and comfortable, engaged in a genial conversation with a fierce-looking elder on the bed, whose tiger-like eyes exuded authority. At first glance, he was clearly a man with great power, decisive in killing. Yet, in his exchange with Xiao Yifei, the elder sat up straight, his demeanor tense, which starkly contrasted with Xiao Yifei¡¯s lax posture as he lounged in his chair, giving an impression of utmost relaxation. In their conversation, the elder showed an unusual level of respect for Xiao Yifei! ¡°That elder must be the Dog King, Jiang Mingquan!¡± Wu Shancong stood there, dumbfounded. ¡°And who is the one opposite him? If I¡¯m not mistaken, that¡¯s Xiao Yifei?¡± Li Entang was likewise stupefied, muttering to himself. ¡°How is this possible! How could Jiang Mingquan ever show such respect for Xiao Yifei! This isn¡¯t realistic!¡± In the worlds of Wu Shancong and Li Entang, the Dog King was an infamous figure known for a ruthless willingness to draw blood at a moment¡¯s disagreement. The scene before them was turning their worldview upside down, leading both to question their life assumptions! ¡°Vice President Nangong! What brings you here!¡± Xiao Yifei, seeing Nangong Yun suddenly appearing at the bedroom door, asked in surprise, ¡°So late at night, how did you find this place?¡± Turning his head and seeing Li Entang and Wu Shancong standing beside him with blank expressions, Xiao Yifei frowned slightly and paid them no mind. ¡°Doctor Xiao, this is your friend! To come and find you here so late at night, she must be very concerned about you!¡± Seeing the arrival was acquainted with Xiao Yifei, King Dog didn¡¯t make any further guesses, especially when he saw a beauty like Nangong Yun, Jiang Mingquan winked at Xiao Yifei. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Nangong Yun asked anxiously as soon as she arrived, her concern warming Xiao Yifei¡¯s heart, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m fine. This elderly gentleman asked me to come over just to check on his health, it¡¯s nothing serious.¡± Xiao Yifei immediately understood it must have been the problem Meng Hu caused in the emergency room that brought Nangong Yun here with such a fuss, and the thought of her looking for him concerning his safety so late at night made him grow a slight fondness for this cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside woman. However, turning his head, he couldn¡¯t figure out why Li Entang and Wu Shancong were also here. ¡°Why did they come here too?¡± Xiao Yifei asked. ¡°They seemed to have done some business with the owner here, so they knew the address. That¡¯s how I was able to follow them here. Are you really okay? Don¡¯t lie to me.¡± Nangong Yun casually answered Xiao Yifei¡¯s questions while circling around him to see if he was truly alright. ¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine!¡± Xiao Yifei said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m okay. Vice Director Nangong, you can rest assured!¡± Jiang Mingquan chuckled at the scene, teasing, ¡°Doctor Xiao, having such a beautiful and caring confidante, you are truly fortunate!¡± Scorpion, upon witnessing the scene, glared at Xiao Yifei bitterly before turning and leaving with a cold snort. Xiao Yifei touched his nose awkwardly, ¡°You¡¯re joking, Old Jiang, she¡¯s not my confidante, she is our hospital¡¯s vice director!¡± Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingquan showed an understanding smile, ¡°Ha ha, that explains why you chose to stay at Shangjing Hospital!¡± At that moment, Xiao Yifei turned to whisper to Nangong Yun, ¡°Vice Director Nangong, don¡¯t worry. Old Jiang really is a good person and won¡¯t do anything to threaten my safety. It¡¯s just that there was a sudden issue, plus his old age, it¡¯s just too late for another trip to the hospital, so his men came to the hospital to fetch me. Maybe they were a bit overzealous due to the urgency, which is why they overreacted a bit, but Old Jiang¡¯s condition wasn¡¯t serious, I¡¯ve already handled it!¡± ¡°But that man called Meng Hu shouldn¡¯t have been so violent! Like lawless thugs, they smashed our emergency hall!¡± Nangong Yun, who didn¡¯t recognize who King Dog was, looked coldly at Jiang Mingquan lying on the bed, ¡°They have to compensate!¡± Through their conversation, Jiang Mingquan finally understood the situation; Xiao Yifei had been forcibly brought here by Meng Hu. Realizing the truth, he broke out in cold sweat, grateful that he hadn¡¯t mistreated Xiao Yifei. Otherwise, who knew what dangers might have occurred. A doctor, especially a highly skilled one, if they can save lives, they can certainly take them! Seeing Xiao Yifei did not want to reveal his medical expertise, King Dog handed out a favor, saying to Nangong Yun with a smile, ¡°Compensate, compensate, compensate! We are truly sorry, we will pay triple compensation for the damage to your hospital! Is that alright?¡± Nangong Yun¡¯s icy demeanor softened somewhat, ¡°That¡¯s more like it!¡± Then she turned to Xiao Yifei with a cold voice, ¡°Now that you have seen the patient, isn¡¯t it time to go back? Don¡¯t you have work tomorrow?¡± Xiao Yifei looked up at Nangong Yun, seeing her intention. The kind-hearted Nangong Yun was afraid Jiang Mingquan wouldn¡¯t let Xiao Yifei leave, hence her aforementioned words. Chapter 46 - 46 46 Attempting to Steal a Chicken but Losing the Rice Instead ?46: Chapter 46: Attempting to Steal a Chicken but Losing the Rice Instead 46: Chapter 46: Attempting to Steal a Chicken but Losing the Rice Instead ¡°Go back, go back! I¡¯m heading back now!¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s heart warmed as he nodded vigorously at Nangong Yun, then turned to Jiang Mingquan, ¡°Mr. Jiang, I¡¯ll leave for today. It¡¯s getting late, and you¡¯ve just recovered, so make sure to rest plenty.¡± Jiang Mingquan replied, ¡°Hurry on back, and don¡¯t forget to take the black bag with you, it has my contact information inside. We¡¯ll get in touch later.¡± After saying this, Jiang Mingquan still seemed uneasy, so he had someone by his side check the bag again to make sure his business card was inside before he felt relieved enough to hand the bag over to Xiao Yifei, ¡°Doctor Xiao, if you ever need anything, just give me a call.¡± Then, Jiang Mingquan gave another command, ¡°Have that little rascal Meng Hu take Doctor Xiao back. He should atone for his mistakes by doing this¡ªtell him he has to take responsibility for his actions! Follow Doctor Xiao¡¯s instructions!¡± Xiao Yifei nodded, imagining Meng Hu¡¯s rough face twisted in discomfort, which made him want to laugh. As he was about to depart with Nangong Yun, he suddenly realized that Li Entang and Wu Shancong were standing there grinning foolishly, showing no intention of leaving. ¡°What about those two? Are they not leaving?¡± Xiao Yifei asked Nangong Yun. Nangong Yun glanced at them, a flicker of disgust passing through her eyes as she said, ¡°Never mind them, they have a car. If it weren¡¯t for me, they wouldn¡¯t even have thought to come and find you!¡± Upon hearing that, Xiao Yifei nodded, turned back to Jiang Mingquan, and said, ¡°I¡¯m not very familiar with these two, they might have some business to discuss with you, Mr. Jiang. I hope you can deal with it properly.¡± After finishing his words, Xiao Yifei turned around and left. ¡°Doctor Xiao, take care on your journey back!¡± Jiang Mingquan bid Xiao Yifei farewell, understanding the underlying meaning in his words. After Xiao Yifei left, Jiang Mingquan also seemed to be feeling tired. He waved his hand, summoning the Poison Scorpion to deal with Li Entang and Wu Shancong. Without Xiao Yifei, these two probably wouldn¡¯t even have the chance to meet Jiang Mingquan. ¡°The old man needs to rest; if there is anything, come talk to me downstairs.¡± Poison Scorpion still had that cold demeanor, but for some reason, she seemed even more ice-cold now, as if her mood had become worse after seeing Nangong Yun. ¡°We are from Shangjing Hospital, and we¡¯ve heard that you are in need of medical equipment. Through a friend¡¯s introduction, we found this place. Take a look, whatever you need, I have the best stuff in my car!¡± Wu Shancong shamelessly stepped forward to speak to the Poison Scorpion with his old face beaming. ¡°Yeah! Not only can you buy medical equipment from us, but we can also treat your big boss! Our medical skill is much better than that of that worthless Xiao Yifei! He¡¯s just a small ER doctor in our hospital!¡± Li Entang, no longer feeling nervous without Jiang Mingquan there, fantasized about making a fortune while not forgetting to slander Xiao Yifei. Poison Scorpion tilted her head, ever since she had misjudged Xiao Yifei and been successfully teased by him, she didn¡¯t trust what people said without first discerning the truth in her heart. ¡°Are you really better than Xiao Yifei in medical skill?¡± Poison Scorpion tilted her head, her gaze coldly fixed on the two men. ¡°Of course! What kind of skill does Xiao Yifei have! He¡¯s just a small ER doctor! He can only treat simple things like colds and fevers, not us! So if your boss ever has a problem, you don¡¯t need to make a big fuss and go to our hospital, just come straight to the two of us!¡± Wu Shancong laughed slyly as if he had seen another pathway to making money. Finally, Poison Scorpion judged that these two in front of her were spouting nonsense without understanding Xiao Yifei¡¯s background; how could they possibly surpass Xiao Yifei¡¯s medical skill? Poison Scorpion was already in a bad mood, and now Wu Shancong and Li Entang had the misfortune of running into her. ¡°What kind of medical equipment have you brought?¡± The scorpion spoke without expression. ¡°All kinds of high-tech medical equipment! They¡¯re in the van downstairs; you can go have a look!¡± Wu Shancong¡¯s eyes lit up with excitement as he introduced the equipment when he heard the scorpion inquire. ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look.¡± With a wave of her hand, the scorpion spoke coldly. Downstairs, Wu Shancong opened the cargo van to reveal a mountainous pile of dazzling medical equipment. After observing for a while, the scorpion closed the van door. ¡°How about it! Need anything?¡± Li Entang looked at the scorpion full of expectation. Cradling her chin in her delicate hands, the scorpion reminisced about the doctors complaining at the beginning that the medical equipment they spent a fortune on wasn¡¯t practical. She also remembered Xiao Yifei treating the old man, barely using any medical equipment beside him. In the end, it seemed Xiao Yifei left a hint for the old man, and thinking of Xiao Yifei only reminded the scorpion of Nangong Yun¡¯s anxious gaze when facing Xiao Yifei, which further soured her mood. She turned around to face Wu Shancong and Li Entang. ¡°Do you know it¡¯s illegal to sell medical equipment privately?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Li Entang and Wu Shancong were stunned. ¡°Smash it!¡± Pointing her finger toward the medical equipment inside the van, the black-clad people who were standing around the scorpion sprang into action at her command. The sound of crashing erupted almost immediately, and within moments, the medical equipment brought by the two men had been smashed into wreckage. Li Entang and Wu Shancong did not have the nerve to intervene, so could only watch as the medical equipment they risked everything to earn a fortune on was destroyed, not to mention, it was all brand new! ¡°Don¡¯t do these illegal activities in the future!¡± the scorpion said sternly to them, a flash of satisfaction in her beautiful eyes. Indeed, smashing things did improve her mood. After speaking, the scorpion turned around stylishly and returned to the villa. Li Entang and Wu Shancong stood disheveled in the wind for a long, long time, looking tearfully at the remnants on the ground. On their way back, they thought about the incident and directed all their resentment towards Xiao Yifei. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for that little punk! Would we have suffered such a loss?¡± Wu Shancong was grinding his teeth in anger. The effort of driving back after seeing that batch of medical equipment smashed was beyond Li Entang now; they had no idea how to fill this financial hole. ¡°Didn¡¯t you see how Jiang Mingquan showed that little bastard some respect in the end? That little bastard is indeed lucky. It was just a minor illness, right? Seeing how happy Xiao Yifei was on his return, he surely made a good profit!¡± Li Entang lay on the seat, staring blankly above, his tone full of resentment, no less than Wu Shancong. ¡°These wealthy people really are afraid of death! A minor illness causes such an uproar in the city; no wonder the deputy head of the Ninth Hospital made five hundred thousand with just a few words! This little bastard disrupted our financial path; I must kill her!¡± Li Entang was nearly drowning in his own hatred. Chapter 47 - 47 47 Feeling Good ?47: Chapter 47 Feeling Good 47: Chapter 47 Feeling Good ¡°If that little bastard really had an accident just now, how great would that have been! All the benefits would have been yours and mine! How could we possibly end up compensating like this!¡± ¡°I must kill him! Once I get back to the hospital, I¡¯ll rule the place! Just wait for it, you little bastard!¡± Wu Shancong gripped the steering wheel tightly, his voice filled with deep hatred. Xiao Yifei, of course, had no idea that he had been marked for revenge, and even if he did, he wouldn¡¯t have cared much. As he directed Meng Hu to take Nangong Yun home, and cleverly remembered her home address, Xiao Yifei initially planned to have Meng Hu drop him off at his rental. However, a few words from Meng Hu suddenly made Xiao Yifei change his mind. ¡°Didn¡¯t the old man give you an apartment? It¡¯s quite close to where you work, and everything inside is set up nicely. Wouldn¡¯t it be perfect for you to move in there? No need to run back and forth.¡± It dawned on Xiao Yifei that he too was now a man with a house and a car. Why would he go back to that cramped rental apartment? With a grand gesture, he declared, Let¡¯s go! ¡°But where is that house?¡± Xiao Yifei suddenly asked. Actually, the apartment wasn¡¯t far from Shangjing Hospital at all. In fact, it was even closer than the rental where he was staying. Xiao Yifei often passed by this very upscale residential community called ¡°Qing Shui Ya Ju¡±, especially as he commuted to and from work. He knew of the place from when it was first launched, but the prices were frighteningly high. Xiao Yifei had once dreamed of having an apartment there, and he hadn¡¯t expected to move in so soon. When they arrived at the entrance of the community, Xiao Yifei got out of the car and was about to leave when Meng Hu called out to him with a look of restraint on his face. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Something you need to say?¡± Xiao Yifei turned to look at Meng Hu. Meng Hu¡¯s burly frame was hunched over as he nervously rubbed his fan-sized hands together, and for once, his fierce face was filled with an embarrassed expression. Meng Hu¡¯s constraint was as much comical as it was surprising. Xiao Yifei smiled and said, ¡°If you¡¯ve got something to say, just say it. Be straightforward. You weren¡¯t this hesitant when you abducted me!¡± Upon hearing Xiao Yifei¡¯s comment, Meng Hu¡¯s eyes, big as copper bells, stared intently at Xiao Yifei: ¡°Can I really say it?¡± ¡°Just spit it out, why beat around the bush!¡± Xiao Yifei waved his hand as he spoke. ¡°Well, I might have been a bit impulsive at Shangjing Hospital; I was just anxious!¡± Meng Hu said with an embarrassed face: ¡°I hope you won¡¯t hold it against me, I know my behavior wasn¡¯t great!¡± Meng Hu, out of nowhere, produced a pen and quickly wrote down a string of digits, handing it to Xiao Yifei. ¡°This is my phone number; call me if you ever need anything. I might not be as powerful as the old man, but I can still handle small matters!¡± Meng Hu declared, his bovine eyes earnest: ¡°Just let me know if there¡¯s anything you need, no need to go through the old man. I can take care of it!¡± Xiao Yifei smiled as he took the card: ¡°You¡¯re not done talking, are you?¡± Meng Hu scratched his head and spoke in a soft voice: ¡°Lastly, I just hope that you could put in a good word for me with the old man. I know he respects you a lot, so your words carry weight. I¡¯m worried that my actions at the hospital might have offended you, and the old man will blame me!¡± Xiao Yifei burst into hearty laughter: ¡°Got it, got it.¡± He waved goodbye to Meng Hu, and under Meng Hu¡¯s anxious gaze, Xiao Yifei stepped through the grand gates of ¡®Jinghang Garden¡¯ community. It was almost dawn now. As Xiao Yifei walked through the high-end community adorned with birdsong and floral fragrances, owning a valuable apartment in ¡®Jinghang Garden¡¯ surprisingly didn¡¯t stir any excitement within him. Using the bright street lamps as his guide, he pulled out the key to the apartment from his black bag. It was a magnetic card, clearly marked ¡°Building 3, Floor 21¡±. Xiao Yifei followed the directions to find Building 3, looked up to see the high-rise with its duplex structure, which had only up to the 21st floor. ¡°I wonder which one it is on the 21st floor.¡± Xiao Yifei pondered, ¡°It would be so awkward if I can¡¯t find it!¡± No matter, he¡¯d go up and figure it out. Through the use of a sensor card, Xiao Yifei entered the hallway and pressed the button for the 21st floor in the elevator. When the elevator ¡°dinged¡± and stopped at the 21st floor, the scene before him told Xiao Yifei that he no longer needed to search for the apartment. Because upon exiting the elevator on the 21st floor of Building 3, there was only one door. Clearly, the King of Dogs had bought the entire 21st floor and had it transformed. Xiao Yifei chuckled lightly, ¡°Rich people really know how to have fun! I¡¯ll just live here for now, and move when I get a new place!¡± He walked up to the door, placed the sensor card against it, and with a ¡°beep,¡± the door opened. The lavish gold and glittering decorations were overwhelmingly luxurious. The grand room, obviously frequently cleaned, suddenly lay before Xiao Yifei. Glancing briefly over the room¡¯s decor, Xiao Yifei nodded, ¡°Hmm, not bad!¡± Ever since gaining his superpower of clairvoyance, Xiao Yifei¡¯s standards had also risen a lot. Exhausted from a night¡¯s work, Xiao Yifei had no energy left to examine the room layout. He flopped onto the wide, soft sofa in the living room and immediately fell asleep. Xiao Yifei, having worked the night shift, didn¡¯t have to go to work that morning. He just needed to sign in that afternoon. After sleeping until noon, Xiao Yifei washed his face and left the apartment. ¡°Off to work then!¡± He understood the consequence of possessing a valuable secret. Until he was powerful enough to confront anything, it was better to keep a low profile. ¡°The complex is so large, driving isn¡¯t convenient. I might as well ride my little bike. It¡¯s more comfortable!¡± Feeling no need to drive to the hospital, Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t bother going to the underground parking to get the car Jiang Mingquan had given him. His thoughts lingered on his little Flying Pigeon bike and when he would take it from his rental place. Arriving at the hospital, Xiao Yifei stopped by the emergency department¡¯s office to say hello before heading to the emergency lobby to check the state it was in; he remembered it being a mess the night before. By the time Xiao Yifei reached the emergency lobby, he saw that everything had been restored to its original state. ¡°They sure act fast.¡± What Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t know was that, that very morning before the hospital had even opened, a construction crew had come and swiftly restored the emergency lobby, as Jiang Ming wanted to ensure everything was to Xiao Yifei¡¯s satisfaction. ¡°Dr. Xiao, are you alright?¡± Nurses in the emergency lobby, having heard about the previous night¡¯s situation, approached Xiao Yifei with concern. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Xiao Yifei replied with a smile. ¡°Last night, Wu Rui saved us! We all panicked at the scene but thankfully, Wu Rui was quick-witted. She called the deputy director. That girl is truly great. She was so worried about you that she couldn¡¯t stop crying the whole night.¡± It was here that Xiao Yifei learned Wu Rui had sought out Nangong Yun the night before. ¡°Then I must properly thank Wu Rui,¡± Xiao Yifei thought. He asked the nearby nurses, ¡°Have you seen where Wu Rui went?¡± ¡°She seemed to be in the stairwell. I just ran into her there with a guy. It looked like he had some business with Wu Rui?¡± The nurse stretched out her hand to point Xiao Yifei in the approximate direction. Chapter 48 - 48 48 Xiao Yifeis Fans ?48: Chapter 48 Xiao Yifei¡¯s Fans 48: Chapter 48 Xiao Yifei¡¯s Fans Xiao Yifei nodded and walked in the direction the nurse had indicated. Just as he reached the staircase entrance, Xiao Yifei heard the argument inside. ¡°O Qi, I¡¯ve told you we¡¯re not suitable! Why do you keep pestering me? Do you find it amusing? I reluctantly agreed to talk to you before because I didn¡¯t know about the nasty things you did, but now that I know, do you think there¡¯s still a chance for us?¡± Wu Rui¡¯s irate voice kept coming from the staircase, and the person she was speaking with had a soft, effeminate voice. ¡°Ruirui, just give me one more chance! My mother has met you, and she really likes you. Please agree to try and make it work with me one more time. I will change, I promise I will change everything for you!¡± The soft, effeminate voice pleaded in a low and humble tone. ¡°It¡¯s impossible, entirely impossible! Besides, I have a boyfriend now, so stop bothering me!¡± Wu Rui rejected him firmly. ¡°What! You dare to have a boyfriend, you slut! We¡¯ve only been apart for a short time, and you¡¯ve already found a new boyfriend! Do you have no shame at all!¡± Upon hearing Wu Rui mention she had a boyfriend, the soft voice became sharp, and he screamed angrily. Standing at the staircase entrance, Xiao Yifei, upon hearing the soft voice become frantic, knew he couldn¡¯t ignore the matter. ¡°What does my having a boyfriend have to do with you? When have we ever been together? I¡¯m telling you, O Qi, stop bothering me!¡± ¡°You bitch! You¡¯re just a little nurse, aren¡¯t you? How dare you talk to me like that! I¡¯ll kill you, believe it or not!¡± ¡°What are you doing! Stay away from me!¡± Xiao Yifei stepped into the staircase and saw a pale-faced man approaching Wu Rui with a ferocious expression, while Wu Rui was retreating backward in terror. ¡°Stop!¡± Xiao Yifei roared angrily: ¡°This is a hospital, what are you trying to do!¡± Ou Long was startled by Xiao Yifei¡¯s bellow, and he frantically turned to look at the entrance of the staircase where Xiao Yifei stood imposingly. ¡°What are you doing!¡± Xiao Yifei said sternly, ¡°Let go of Wu Rui!¡± ¡°Doctor Xiao!¡± Wu Rui saw Xiao Yifei appear suddenly, her eyes suddenly sparkled with hope as she hurried over, hiding her petite frame entirely behind him, and her hands pitifully clutched the corners of Xiao Yifei¡¯s clothes. ¡°So you two know each other!¡± Ou Long said, realizing after seeing this scene. He looked at Xiao Yifei with a threatening tone, ¡°This is our family matter. You¡¯d better not intervene, or you¡¯re asking for trouble!¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s brows furrowed: ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear what Wu Rui said? She told you to stop harassing her. If you keep pestering Wu Rui, don¡¯t blame me for being rude!¡± ¡°Wow, who do you think you are?¡± Ou Long looked at Xiao Yifei sardonically: ¡°You¡¯re meddling so much; who even recognizes you?¡± ¡°Who am I?¡± Xiao Yifei turned to look at Wu Rui, but before he could speak, Wu Rui threw herself into his arms. ¡°He¡¯s my boyfriend!¡± Wu Rui answered crisply! ¡°You slut! I knew you were bold now for a reason! So there¡¯s someone like this dog backing you up, huh!¡± Ou Long, seeing Wu Rui throw herself into Xiao Yifei¡¯s arms and perform such an intimate act, felt the flames of jealousy burning fiercely in his eyes. ¡°You just wait! Both of you wait! I won¡¯t let you get away with this!¡± Ou Long pointed at Xiao Yifei with his finger, saying ominously. After finishing his words, Ou Long turned around and walked away, ¡°You adulterers better not regret this!¡± ¡°Get lost already! Don¡¯t dirty my eyes!¡± Xiao Yifei glared furiously and cursed loudly. He didn¡¯t take Ou Long¡¯s threats seriously at all. Seeing that O Qi had left, Sun Li patted Zhao Rui¡¯s small head, ¡°Alright, come out, the person troubling you is gone!¡± ¡°But your embrace is so warm!¡± To his surprise, Wu Rui clung to Xiao Yifei like a koala, burying her head deep into his chest. ¡°Uh...¡± Xiao Yifei was somewhat helpless, ¡°Come on, you¡¯ve got work!¡± Under Xiao Yifei¡¯s urging, Wu Rui finally stepped back from his embrace, her cheeks blushing as she looked at him, ¡°Doctor Xiao! I only did it because I had no choice, you aren¡¯t mad at me, are you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Xiao Yifei waved his hand. ¡°Hehe, I knew Doctor Xiao was the best!¡± Wu Rui¡¯s eyes shone brightly. ¡°Right, I heard you went to see Vice-President Nangong last night, and you ended up crying your eyes out for me?¡± Xiao Yifei looked at Wu Rui and said with a smile, ¡°Seeing how worried you were for me, I must do something in return, it wouldn¡¯t be right otherwise. Let¡¯s go for dinner after work today! Whatever you want, just say it!¡± ¡°Not at all!¡± Wu Rui was a bit embarrassed, ¡°Doctor Xiao, you¡¯re so kind, I was just scared something happened to you!¡± ¡°Really taking me out to dinner! That¡¯s wonderful! I must go!¡± Wu Rui gazed at Xiao Yifei, her eyes revealing that special gleam only foodies possess. She patted her tiny stomach, ¡°But don¡¯t back out later, Doctor Xiao, I can really eat a lot!¡± ¡°Haha, eat as much as you can! I fear you won¡¯t be able to finish it all! It¡¯s a deal then! Wait for me at the entrance after work, I¡¯ll come pick you up!¡± Xiao Yifei waved to Wu Rui, ¡°Now go work properly!¡± ¡°Yes, will do!¡± Wu Rui nodded vigorously, her gaze lingering on Xiao Yifei¡¯s tall and handsome figure as it slowly disappeared from her sight. Wu Rui recalled how she had thrown herself into Xiao Yifei¡¯s arms without a second thought, her delicate cheeks blushing at the memory. Wu Rui, oh Wu Rui, when did you become so bold? But Doctor Xiao¡¯s arms were truly warm! She fondly reminisced about the feeling, not realizing when she began to look up to Xiao Yifei. Busy times always fly by. In the blink of an eye, work was over. Wu Rui tidied up her things, changed her clothes, and even put on some lovely makeup. She stood expectantly at the hospital entrance, awaiting Xiao Yifei¡¯s arrival. She had just been to the office to look for Xiao Yifei, and it seemed he had left work a bit early for some reason. ¡°Doctor Xiao told me to wait for him here at the hospital entrance. He should be here any moment!¡± Wu Rui checked her watch, squinting her eyes in anticipation. Finally, Xiao Yifei arrived late, riding his Flying Pigeon bicycle. ¡°Swoosh!¡± With a dashing slide, Xiao Yifei turned the bicycle sideways and faced Wu Rui. It was hard to imagine how Xiao Yifei could make such an old bike look so cool. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Xiao Yifei gestured to Wu Rui with a sunny, brilliant smile. Chapter 49 - 49 49 Incomprehensible ?49: Chapter 49: Incomprehensible 49: Chapter 49: Incomprehensible ¡°Haha, Doctor Xiao Yi, this little BMW of yours is quite practical!¡± Wu Rui pursed her lips and smiled. Everyone in the emergency room knew that Xiao Yifei rode an old-fashioned Flying Pigeon bicycle to and from work every day. Everyone jokingly referred to Xiao Yifei¡¯s bike as ¡®Little BMW¡¯. ¡°Haha, of course, it¡¯s my baby!¡± Xiao Yifei proudly patted the rear seat of his bicycle. ¡°It¡¯s been with me for a while now. Riding it just feels right. I moved today and specifically rode my ¡®Little BMW¡¯ out from my rental!¡± ¡°Doctor Xiao Yi, you¡¯ve moved! Where to?¡± Wu Rui¡¯s eyes lit up upon hearing Xiao Yifei¡¯s words. ¡°Do you need my help with anything?¡± As she spoke, Wu Rui stepped forward, preparing to sit on the back seat of the bicycle. Just as she sat down, a ¡®bang!¡¯ sounded, and the rear tire of Xiao Yifei¡¯s Little BMW deflated. ¡°Ah! How did the tire burst!¡± Wu Rui jumped off the bicycle and looked at the deflated tire. ¡°How could it burst? Am I really that heavy now?¡± Wu Rui was especially embarrassed. Her face reddened as she kept apologizing to Xiao Yifei. ¡°Doctor Xiao Yi, I¡¯m so sorry! I¡¯m too heavy! I deflated your Little BMW just by sitting on it!¡± While speaking, Wu Rui annoyedly patted her flat belly. Seeing Wu Rui, who weighed less than 90 pounds and had a petite figure, Xiao Yifei laughed heartily. ¡°No problem, it¡¯s not your fault. I know my bike; it¡¯s just too old. Having weathered the wind and rain every day, it was about time for it to show some temper!¡± ¡°Doctor Xiao Yi, I¡¯m sorry!¡± Wu Rui still felt very embarrassed. She lifted her head, her large eyes looking at Xiao Yifei. ¡°So what do we do now? Are we still going to eat? If the restaurant isn¡¯t too far, we can walk.¡± Wu Rui truly was a foodie. Right now, the first thing she thought about was still food! Xiao Yifei scratched his head. ¡°No problem, no problem. Let¡¯s just lock the bike inside the hospital for now. But the place where we¡¯re eating might be a bit too far; we¡¯ll need a car.¡± He suddenly remembered that Dog King might have prepared a car for him in the ¡®Qingshui Garden¡¯ garage. Xiao Yifei and Wu Rui pushed the bike with the flat tire into Shangjing Hospital, locked it up, and then he turned to Wu Rui, ¡°Wait here for me, I¡¯ll go and get a car.¡± Wu Rui asked, ¡°Is it a hassle? If it¡¯s troublesome, we can just take a taxi.¡± Xiao Yifei waved his hand dismissively at Wu Rui. ¡°No trouble, it¡¯s more convenient to drive our own car!¡± Wu Rui accompanied Xiao Yifei back to the entrance of the hospital. ¡°Just wait here for me, I¡¯ll be right back!¡± Xiao Yifei turned and quickly walked away. After Xiao Yifei left, he picked up his pace and returned to ¡®Jinghang Garden¡¯. He kept the car keys in a black bag at home. Reaching his front door, Xiao Yifei swiped his card to enter the room and soon found the black bag. Retrieving the uniquely designed car key from the bag, Xiao Yifei casually held the key in his hand, left the room, and hurriedly made his way to the car. Wu Rui was still waiting for him. Taking the elevator directly to the underground garage, Xiao Yifei saw many luxury cars neatly parked. He smirked, ¡°Rich people are really not in short supply.¡± However, what was even more eye-catching was the huge parking space in the middle of the underground garage, specially delineated by the property management, where a shiny, domineering supercar sat. The glossy black streamlined body shone like a woman¡¯s skin; the two large diamond-shaped headlights looked very cool, especially the four exhaust pipes at the rear of the body after transformation, which looked exceptionally domineering! A modified Lamborghini 670! ¡°These rich people¡¯s privileges are really outrageous; one parking spot for his car is enough for three cars for others!¡± Xiao Yifei thought about it and got angry. He walked up to this super cool car filled with resentment: ¡°I just hate the rich! No, I can¡¯t stand to see it strut like that!¡± Xiao Yifei hadn¡¯t checked how much money Jiang Mingquan put on the card for him. If he had, he wouldn¡¯t have said that. At that moment, Xiao Yifei was still standing firmly next to the Lamborghini. He silently took out the car key Jiang Mingquan gave him. Speaking of which, the car key was also pretty peculiar, as if it had been modified. Other car keys at least have a brand logo, but this one was just pitch black, with nothing on it. ¡°Ding.¡± Xiao Yifei gently pressed a button on the car key, and the alloy key sprung out. Holding the alloy key, he slowly approached the dazzling Lamborghini. ¡°I¡¯ll just scratch it! Scratch it and run!¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s dark side was completely revealed, his mouth twisting into an evil smirk. Suddenly, he stopped. ¡°Right, such a nice car must have excellent security; if I scratch it, how can I run without being caught?¡± Xiao Yifei thought to himself. ¡°So, I¡¯ll do this¡ªI¡¯ll find my car first, and after I¡¯ve scratched this Lamborghini, I¡¯ll quickly drive away!¡± Xiao Yifei, having figured it out, put on a mischievous smile. He looked around to find the car that damned Jiang Mingquan had given him. After searching for a long time without a clue, he picked up his own key: ¡°If I unlock the car, as soon as there¡¯s any noise, wouldn¡¯t I be able to find the car?¡± Smacking his head, Xiao Yifei pressed the unlock button on the car key. ¡°Beep beep.¡± The car was activated, and the sound of the locks disengaging echoed far in the underground garage. The flash of the headlights coming on also made Xiao Yifei squint his eyes. ¡°Holy... holy shit!¡± When Xiao Yifei finally saw which car Jiang Mingquan had given him, he couldn¡¯t help but open his mouth wide and curse. Meanwhile, Wu Rui was standing alone at the entrance of Shangjing Hospital playing with her phone, bored as she waited for Xiao Yifei to come back. However, at that moment, she heard a voice that she extremely disliked. ¡°Ruirui! I¡¯m really sorry! I got a bit impulsive today, which is why I yelled at you! I¡¯m sorry, please give me another chance! I really will treat you well!¡± Ou Long suddenly appeared beside Wu Rui, clutching a bouquet of flowers and looking at her affectionately: ¡°Ruirui! I believe you¡¯ll come back to me!¡± ¡°Why are you back again! Haven¡¯t I told you I already have a boyfriend?¡± Wu Rui, surprised to see Ou Long, then said with a voice full of disgust: ¡°It¡¯s impossible between us! Ou Long, don¡¯t show up in front of me again!¡± ¡°Ruirui! I love you so much! You definitely can¡¯t bear to leave me! I know, you¡¯re only saying this because you¡¯re still mad at me! Don¡¯t be mad! Come back to me!¡± Ou Long said with a narcissistic face, kneeling on one knee and holding up the flowers high. ¡°Are you sick? Bothering me every day, I¡¯ll say it again, I already have a boyfriend! You saw him today, didn¡¯t you? He¡¯s my boyfriend!¡± Wu Rui looked at Ou Long as if he were insane; she didn¡¯t understand why this man could be so shameless. Chapter 50 - 50 50 The Heavyweight Knight ?50: Chapter 50: The Heavyweight Knight 50: Chapter 50: The Heavyweight Knight ¡°Stop talking! I¡¯ll never believe that man is your boyfriend!¡± Ou Long gazed at Wu Rui with infatuation, ¡°Such a beautiful girl as you, how could he be worthy of you!¡± When Wu Rui heard Ou Long¡¯s first sentence, her heart skipped a beat, thinking Ou Long had discovered the truth, but as soon as she heard the second sentence, her delicate brows furrowed sharply, and her small frame exploded with immense energy, ¡°How can you speak like that? How can you say Doctor Xiao Yifei isn¡¯t worthy of me? Let me tell you, Doctor Xiao Yifei is such an outstanding person, if anything, it¡¯s me who isn¡¯t worthy of him!¡± Ou Long stared at Wu Rui, baffled. He couldn¡¯t understand why Wu Rui would defend Xiao Yifei so vehemently. Could it be that Xiao Yifei really was her boyfriend? No, I don¡¯t believe it! Ou Long shook his head as if it were a wave drum. ¡°You don¡¯t need to lie to me! I saw it! Xiao Yifei, isn¡¯t it? Not to mention riding a broken-down bicycle, the tire even burst! How could you possibly fancy him!¡± Ou Long was lost in his own world, ¡°He¡¯s just slightly more handsome than me, but what¡¯s the use of that! He¡¯s a poor bast**d, how could he possibly be worthy of you! I don¡¯t believe you¡¯re so vulgar as to only look at a man¡¯s face! Ruirui! I understand you! You like men with substance! Stop using him as a shield, let go of your anger, and come back to me!¡± Ou Long patted the newly changed Huaxia BMW behind him, his face smeared with pride, ¡°Look, Ruirui! My dad just bought it for me! Over three hundred thousand! Isn¡¯t this a million times better than his bicycle? Aren¡¯t I a million times better than that toad wanting to eat swan meat, Xiao Yifei? That toad, still wanting to take advantage of you!¡± He spread his arms, wanting to embrace Wu Rui, ¡°Ruirui! Come on! Stop pretending, come back to me!¡± ¡°Enough! Ou Long, can¡¯t you speak properly! So what if you have a good dad? What¡¯s so great about that! I know Doctor Xiao Yifei doesn¡¯t have money, but I don¡¯t like someone for their money! Like you, even if you were filthy rich, I wouldn¡¯t fancy you even if I went blind!¡± Looking at Ou Long¡¯s shameless face, Wu Rui was filled with rage, ¡°I¡¯m just an ordinary nurse; although I¡¯ve fantasized about living a life of luxury in the future and dreamt that my boyfriend would show up in a luxury car, that¡¯s just a fantasy. I like Doctor Xiao Yifei. That¡¯s it ¨C even if he¡¯s poor! Even if he has no money! But I want to be with him! I won¡¯t allow you to insult him like this!¡± Ou Long was startled, watching the emotionally uncontrollable Wu Rui; he hadn¡¯t expected such a strong reaction from her, but he still believed his charm was irresistible, ¡°Ruirui, stop being mad at me, come back! Come back to me!¡± Wu Rui coldly spat out a word at Ou Long, ¡°Scram!¡± ¡°Ruirui! Stop throwing a tantrum! You¡¯re not ordinary at all! At the very least, if you were with me, you wouldn¡¯t have to suffer!¡± Ou Long thought he had moved Wu Rui, wearing what he thought was a charming smile as he walked towards her, about to grab her hand. ¡°Slap!¡± To his surprise, Wu Rui didn¡¯t exchange another word with Ou Long; she directly smacked his face with a resounding slap. ¡°What!¡± Ou Long covered his face, incredulous: ¡°You... you dared to hit me! I¡¯ve been waiting here for you all afternoon! Not for you to hit me! Wu Rui, I¡¯m telling you! You must leave with me today! Today I¡¯ll settle things with you!¡± Ou Long, still covering his face, spoke in a sharp tone like a woman¡¯s. ¡°Don¡¯t you see what you look like right now! Don¡¯t you find yourself repulsive? Flaunting the bit of power your father wields, bullying people all day; don¡¯t you feel ashamed?¡± Wu Rui glanced at Ou Long and, not deigning to speak further, turned to leave. But little did she know, Ou Long abruptly lunged forward, seizing Wu Rui¡¯s hand: ¡°You little bitch, let¡¯s see how I deal with you today! And that man called Xiao Yifei, whether or not he¡¯s your boyfriend, I¡¯ll deal with him too!¡± Ou Long¡¯s face was hideous, a far cry from any normal expression, as he dragged Wu Rui towards his car, while Wu Rui fiercely resisted. ¡°Let go of me! You beast! Let go of me right now! If you don¡¯t let me go, I¡¯m going to call the police!¡± Ou Long let out a vicious laugh, ¡°Go on, call the police! I want to see how you¡¯re going to do that!¡± Taking advantage of the moment Ou Qi was speaking, Zhao Rui suddenly yanked herself free from Ou Qi¡¯s grasp. She frantically increased the distance between them, her heart pounding with fear. She looked around; Sun Li had not arrived yet. ¡°What should I do?¡± Zhao Rui thought anxiously. Seeing Wu Rui escape his grip, a stubborn idea occurred to Ou Long. He looked up, still smiling at Wu Rui, ¡°Ruirui, stop running. Look at all these cars on the road, be careful not to hurt yourself.¡± Just then, a black supercar with flashy lines slowly drove up from the other side of the road. Xiao Yifei sat inside, fuming, ¡°Jiang Mingquan is already so old, I didn¡¯t expect his taste in cars to be so flashy! It¡¯s a good thing I¡¯m smart and decided to test the car first, otherwise, I would¡¯ve scratched my own car! How much would that cost!¡± Every time Xiao Yifei thought about how he almost scratched his own car, his face grimaced in pain, ¡°This darn car key doesn¡¯t even have a logo on it, what a piece of junk! I wonder if Wu Rui is getting anxious. I need to hurry up!¡± Xiao Yifei stepped on the accelerator; the modified engine roared like the fierce bellow of an ancient beast, attracting the attention of everyone on the road! ¡°Holy crap! What kind of car is this? It¡¯s incredible!¡± ¡°Damn, that¡¯s so cool! You can tell at a glance that it has scissor doors! Driving this car to pick up girls, how awesome would that be!¡± Of course, there were also car enthusiasts on the road who knew their stuff and could immediately identify the make of the car: ¡°A Lamborghini 670! Rumor has it that there are only ten in Huaxia! The base price alone is 7.8 million! Listening to that sound, the engine¡¯s been modified! This whole set-up can¡¯t be had for less than 10 million!¡± Amidst the exclamations from the crowd, under the envious gaze of many, Xiao Yifei drove the domineering supercar towards Wu Rui¡¯s direction. Ou Long was no exception; he was a car enthusiast himself. Seeing such an imposing supercar, his eyes couldn¡¯t help but show a hint of jealousy, ¡°The person who drives this car must have quite the power behind them!¡± And the Lamborghini 670, like a noble king, continued forward with haughty indifference. ¡°Ou Long! Haven¡¯t you always prided yourself on being rich? What¡¯s the matter now? Even with all your money, can you afford this car?¡± Although Wu Rui didn¡¯t know much about cars, she could tell from its appearance that this car was worth a fortune, ¡°If you¡¯re really that rich, come back to me when you can afford this car!¡± Ou Long, hearing Wu Rui mocking him, couldn¡¯t help but become incredibly frustrated, ¡°Is it the same thing? The people who can afford this car, which one of their families doesn¡¯t have powerful connections? I¡¯ve never even seen a young rich second generation able to afford this car! I admit it, I can¡¯t afford this car! But let me tell you this, your boyfriend, who rides that broken bicycle, even if he worked to death without eating or drinking for his whole life, he couldn¡¯t even afford one of this car¡¯s headlights! I bet you! If he can afford this headlight, I¡¯ll let you slap me once!¡± Chapter 51 - 51 51 A Beautiful Day ?51: Chapter 51: A Beautiful Day 51: Chapter 51: A Beautiful Day He glared angrily at Wu Rui, but suddenly noticed the Lamborghini 670 driving straight onto the pedestrian crossing, coming up to him. The window rolled down halfway, and a familiar voice came from inside the car: ¡°Is there something you need? If not, please make way!¡± ¡°Oh, oh, oh, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry! I was blocking your way!¡± Ou Long hurriedly bowed and apologized. He stepped aside to clear the way, completely oblivious to the fact that he was standing on the sidewalk, which was legal, while the owner of the Lamborghini was doing something illegal, yet he felt that the owner of the Lamborghini truly carried an imposing aura. Concerning this familiar voice, Ou Long didn¡¯t think too much about it. ¡°See that! When people have money, they can do whatever they...¡± After making way, the Lamborghini continued moving forward; however, he then saw it slowing down in front of Wu Rui. ¡°Is he going to ask for directions? Why not ask me?¡± Ou Long¡¯s voice gradually quieted down. However, the next scene was something he would never be able to forget for the rest of his life. The scissor door of the Lamborghini stylishly lifted upward, and the person who emerged nonchalantly from the driver¡¯s seat was Xiao Yifei! Not just Ou Long, but even Wu Rui was stunned; she was so surprised her mouth could¡¯ve fit an egg! ¡°You... You¡¯re Doctor Xiao?¡± Just having gotten out of the car, Xiao Yifei, with his head bowed, muttered to himself: ¡°Damn, this car looks cool but it¡¯s tricky to handle! Why do both doors open when I press one button!¡± ¡°What do you want!¡± Upon hearing Wu Rui calling him, Xiao Yifei then lifted his head and looked at Wu Rui: ¡°What are you staring at, get in the car!¡± ¡°Holy shit, this can¡¯t be real! I must be dreaming, if this is actually true, then this world is simply too absurd!¡± Ou Long rubbed his eyes, realized that he wasn¡¯t seeing things, and then pinched himself hard. It hurt! He wasn¡¯t dreaming! Convincing himself that everything happening was indeed real, Ou Long sat down heavily on the ground, mumbling to himself like a lunatic. ¡°This can¡¯t be happening! This can¡¯t be happening!¡± When Wu Rui heard what Xiao Yifei said to her, she was so startled that she jumped up: ¡°Ah! Oh oh oh! Okay!¡± She clumsily tried to move around the back of the car, then suddenly thought it was closer to walk in front, and hurriedly circled back. Xiao Yifei, seeing Wu Rui¡¯s dazed and silly expression, felt a strong urge to laugh. ¡°No rush, take your time.¡± Wu Rui dazedly nodded, then all of a sudden, as if she remembered something, she stopped in her tracks and said to Xiao Yifei: ¡°Wait for me a second!¡± Then she turned around and charged, full of fury, towards Ou Long, who was sitting collapsed on the ground. The petite and delicately featured Wu Rui walked briskly toward Ou Long, flashed him a sweet smile, then extended her hand and delivered a fierce slap across his face. ¡°You said it yourself; let me slap you!¡± As the slap struck, a bright red handprint appeared on Ou Long¡¯s face, but this time, Ou Long didn¡¯t have the courage to confront Wu Rui again, especially since he saw Xiao Yifei standing by the Lamborghini, watching him. ¡°How could this be!¡± Ou Long murmured in a timid voice, feeling that his world had completely collapsed! Wu Rui returned to the car, and sat in the passenger seat with some trepidation. Only after Wu Rui came back did Xiao Yifei notice that the man Wu Rui had slapped was Ou Long. He frowned: ¡°Is Ou Long harassing you again?¡± Wu Rui nodded gently. ¡°For men like that who have no shame, you should slap their face hard! If he dares to bother you again, just tell me, and I¡¯ll handle him for you!¡± In Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes, Ou Long was nothing worth mentioning; he said to Wu Rui casually. ¡°Let¡¯s go! Time to eat!¡± Xiao Yifei waved at Wu Rui and got into the driver¡¯s seat himself. ¡°Boom!¡± The roaring sound of the engine burst forth, and under Ou Long¡¯s despairing gaze, the incredibly cool supercar reversed towards him, ran over his feet for a close encounter with the Lamborghini, and then, with a stylish drift, the Lamborghini sped away! Ou Long endured the pain without daring to shout, because he knew that the person driving this car was way beyond his reach! ¡°Little... Dr. Xiao, where did this car come from!¡± Sitting in the car, Wu Rui¡¯s hands and feet were nervous, not knowing where to put them. It was her first time in such an expensive car, and she was afraid of accidentally damaging something. ¡°Is it because Dr. Xiao knew Ou Long was speaking ill of you just now, so you specifically borrowed a car?¡± This was the only reason Wu Rui could think of, and she asked directly with her straightforward nature. ¡°Ah? Did Ou Long speak ill of me just now!¡± Xiao Yifei laughed heartily, ¡°Then it seems I was too light on him just now for running over his foot, but this car isn¡¯t actually borrowed; a friend just gave it to me.¡± Xiao Yifei shrugged his shoulders, his tone full of nonchalance. ¡°Ah! So, this car is yours, Dr. Xiao!¡± Wu Rui exclaimed with wide eyes: ¡°Dr. Xiao is so impressive! Does that mean you can do whatever you want with this car?¡± Xiao Yifei smiled, ¡°That¡¯s true, but I guess I¡¯ll only drive it a few times; I won¡¯t use it much. After all, this car attracts too much attention, and I didn¡¯t know he was giving me such a car.¡± ¡°Oh... I see!¡± Wu Rui¡¯s eyes shifted, curious about what Xiao Yifei had done to receive such a grand gift! In her memory, Xiao Yifei was still the man who rode a bicycle and ate in the hospital cafeteria every day to save money. ¡°So, can I touch it?¡± Wu Rui was very curious about the interior and fixtures of such an expensive car as it was her first time. ¡°Touch anything you like, no worries!¡± Thus, Hot Pepper Wu Rui began messing around in the car, touching here and there. As time passed with Wu Rui¡¯s fiddling, Xiao Yifei drove the car to a restaurant where he had made reservations, a place with a decent price range. However, the phrase ¡°decent price range¡± applied according to Xiao Yifei¡¯s previous standards, as the restaurant entrance had never seen a car as expensive as the one Xiao Yifei was driving now. When the car stopped, even the restaurant owner came out to welcome them. ¡°Please come in, watch your step!¡± It was the first time Xiao Yifei enjoyed such treatment, making him remark that being wealthy was truly great. As Xiao Yifei and Wu Rui entered the restaurant, a pair of eyes kept watching them. The owner of these eyes was named Wang Changping. He was also dining in this restaurant and had just sat down not long before when he saw Xiao Yifei enter with Wu Rui. Noticing the girl with Xiao Yifei seemed familiar, he suddenly remembered she was a nurse from the emergency department. ¡°Damn!¡± Wang Changping cursed under his breath, feeling very upset. Originally, he thought that by ostracizing Xiao Yifei far away to the emergency room, a man without connections or skills like Xiao Yifei would be easily eliminated. But Wang Changping had heard that Xiao Yifei was doing quite well now, much liked by the director of the emergency department, Chen Xusheng. Wang Changping hadn¡¯t minded not seeing Xiao Yifei, but seeing him today, accompanied by a pretty nurse, his mood soured instantly. Chapter 52 - 52 52 The Appreciation of the Crowd ?52: Chapter 52 The Appreciation of the Crowd 52: Chapter 52 The Appreciation of the Crowd ¡°So you¡¯re allowed to play nurse, but I¡¯m not?¡± Wang Changping was indignant. His narrow mind couldn¡¯t bear to see others doing well, especially those who had once had a falling-out with him. Xiao Yifei, who used to be bullied by him and dared not speak out, had suddenly turned into Nangong Yun¡¯s favorite. This was something that Wang Changping just could not accept, especially since he had heard recently that Nangong Yun had even disturbed Wu Shancong and Li Entang in the middle of the night for Xiao Yifei¡¯s sake. ¡°It seems I¡¯ll need to pay you a visit soon!¡± A cold smile appeared on Wang Changping¡¯s chubby face. He believed, as a deputy chief physician, that causing Xiao Yifei a bit of trouble wouldn¡¯t be a problem. Walking up the stairs, Xiao Yifei suddenly felt a chill at the back of his head. He turned around abruptly, but seeing nothing unusual, he touched his head with some confusion. ¡°Doctor Xiao, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Wu Rui asked with concern. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xiao Yifei replied with a slight smile toward Wu Rui. Joyful times are always fleeting. When Xiao Yifei was driving Wu Rui home and they reached the base of her apartment building, Wu Rui was still dizzy from the day¡¯s events; she felt as if it all had been too surreal. ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll drop you off here and then I have to head back!¡± As the car door opened, Xiao Yifei said to Wu Rui with a smile, ¡°If that Ou Long comes looking for you again, just find me!¡± Under the envious gazes of many, Wu Rui got out of the car. Her cheeks flushed, she nodded vigorously toward Xiao Yifei, ¡°Thank you, Doctor Xiao! I had a great time today!¡± Xiao Yifei waved handsomely at Wu Rui, ¡°Get inside quickly; it¡¯s a bit cold tonight, don¡¯t catch a chill!¡± The engine roared to life, and the Lamborghini¡¯s breeze lifted Wu Rui¡¯s long skirt as Xiao Yifei slowly drove away under the splattered lights. ¡°My goodness! Isn¡¯t that old Wu¡¯s daughter?¡± Wu Rui¡¯s neighbor, Auntie Zhou, craned her neck to see. She had never seen a car like that, nor did she recognize the emblem, but she knew for sure that it couldn¡¯t be cheap. However, she did recognize the person who got out of the car. Seeing Wu Rui alight and Xiao Yifei drive away, Auntie Zhou dared to approach slowly. ¡°My girl, what kind of car is that? It looks so fancy! Must be expensive, right?¡± Auntie Zhou asked with a look of amazement, fishing for information, ¡°Is the man driving your boyfriend? What does he do?¡± Wu Rui responded to Auntie Zhou with a smile, ¡°Auntie Zhou, he¡¯s not my boyfriend. He¡¯s a doctor from our hospital!¡± Upon hearing this, Auntie Zhou walked away shaking her head, murmuring in admiration, ¡°No wonder you turn down the guys we introduce to you. Are doctors so wealthy these days? Old Wu has really raised a wonderful daughter!¡± Hearing Auntie Zhou¡¯s self-dialogue, Wu Rui¡¯s eyes filled with confusion. Standing in the night in her long dress, she looked ethereal as she whispered to herself wistfully, ¡°If he were my boyfriend...¡± In the night, Wu Rui stared in the direction Xiao Yifei had left, motionless for a long time. Meanwhile, Xiao Yifei had returned to ¡®Jinghang Garden¡¯, parking the car anew under the astonished gaze of the security guards. The security guards were surprised because they had finally seen someone drive the flashy Lamborghini that had been parked in the garage for so long, and the owner was so young! Back at his place, Xiao Yifei began to perform the set of radio exercises given to him by the old beggar. Xiao Yifei did these exercises daily, no matter how tired he was, and felt refreshingly invigorated afterwards. He continued without missing a single day. By now, Xiao Yifei could perform the fourth movement of the exercises, and with the advancement in his exercise routine came a corresponding improvement in both his clairvoyant superpower and his physical fitness. Xiao Yifei found that his physique had become extremely excellent under the transformation of the exercise routine. Wearing clothes, it wasn¡¯t apparent, but once he took them off, Xiao Yifei¡¯s neatly chiseled eight-pack abs could be called perfect. Moreover, Xiao Yifei¡¯s build was not the exaggeratedly muscular type; his muscles were neither too much nor too little, perfectly proportioned. With his current build, there was no doubt Xiao Yifei could be a model! And now, only Xiao Yifei knew what astonishing strength lay hidden beneath those seemingly well-proportioned muscles! He had tested it one day and found that a full-force punch from him could punch through the sandbag hanging in his room at ¡®Jinghang Garden¡¯! After completing the exercise routine, Xiao Yifei took a comfortable shower and slept soundly until dawn. Today was Friday, and outside the door of Consulting Room 2 in the emergency department, a long queue had formed¡ªeven including patients lying on stretchers, unable to move. Each held the number they had already taken, waiting in silence. In stark contrast to the scene at Consulting Room 2 was Consulting Room 3, where not a single patient waited at the door. This was the emergency department, where critical illnesses were supposed to be treated! Why did everyone choose to wait outside Consulting Room 2 rather than go to Consulting Room 3? Wu Rui lifted her head to look at the LED announcement board. Consulting Room 1 is temporarily unoccupied Consulting Room 2 Xiao Yifei, Resident Physician Consulting Room 3 Zhou Yuan, Attending Physician ¡°Doctor Xiao Yifei really has superb medical skills! We all feel very secure having him treat us! There¡¯s no need to rush, he¡¯s sure to handle everything well!¡± A patient who had just come out of Consulting Room 2 cheerfully walked by, casually saying this to their companion. Xiao Yifei gradually gained a reputation in the emergency room, and even those who didn¡¯t need emergency care insisted on seeing Xiao Yifei for treatment. Even the nickname ¡°Small God Doctor¡± had begun to circulate. Chen Xusheng was very pleased to see this scene because he felt that Xiao Yifei truly deserved it. Zhou Yuan, ever since being taught a lesson by Xiao Yifei, had kept a low profile and no longer dared to cause trouble for Xiao Yifei, who was having a very comfortable time in the emergency room. It was now noon, and Xiao Yifei stood by the railing on the second floor, taking a brief rest. After being busy all morning, he finally had a chance to slack off a bit. ¡°Doctor Xiao! I washed an apple for you!¡± Wu Rui walked up to Xiao Yifei, her pretty face beaming as she held out the bright red and shiny apple. Xiao Yifei smiled as he took it and thanked her. Wu Rui rubbed her fair and delicate hand on her clothing, wiping off the water droplets. She squinted her attractive eyes and crisply said to Xiao Yifei, ¡°You¡¯re welcome!¡± Just then, a voice suddenly erupted from the emergency nurse station. ¡°What are you doing! You can¡¯t barge in like that! You have to register first or you won¡¯t be able to see the doctor!¡± A nurse at the emergency nurse station stopped a figure wearing a mask, who was accompanied by a man with a formidable presence. The formidable man had a buzz cut and bulging arms that looked very solid. His upright stature was like an unsheathed sharp sword. ¡°What? You want to take a number for Doctor Xiao Yifei? Doctor Xiao Yifei is resting now, if you come you¡¯ll have to wait until the afternoon!¡± It seemed that the person with the covered face said something to the nurse at the station, who responded. ¡°Look, Miss. I told you that Xiao Yifei couldn¡¯t be relied upon! What time is it now? He¡¯s already resting. He¡¯s probably just a doctor with an empty reputation. We made such an effort to come out here for him, and it¡¯s not worth it! Old Qi was just panicking, recommending someone so blindly! If this Xiao Yifei were really that good, would he allow himself to take a rest when there are sick people?¡± The formidable man seemed to be trying to persuade the veiled figure about something. Chapter 53 - 53 53 Crisis Lurking Everywhere ?53: Chapter 53: Crisis Lurking Everywhere 53: Chapter 53: Crisis Lurking Everywhere Xiao Yifei, who was far away, overheard this and the nurse at the nurse station was the first to disapprove, ¡°How can you speak like that! Let me tell you, Doctor Xiao Yifei is now the most popular doctor in the emergency room, with people lining up to the hospital door to see him! He just started his morning shift and is taking a little break. What right do you have to look down on Doctor Xiao Yifei!¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± The rugged man snorted coldly, his face full of disdain. Just then, the woman in the mask whispered something into the rugged man¡¯s ear, and he unwillingly followed the masked person and left. ¡°Doctor Xiao, look how impressive you are now! People are coming specifically to see you!¡± Wu Rui, seeing Xiao Yifei slowly earning fame, was even happier than Xiao Yifei himself! ¡°Hehe,¡± Xiao Yifei smiled indifferently. ¡°I¡¯m just doing what I should.¡± It was exactly this positive attitude of Xiao Yifei that made everyone in the emergency room admire him. Wu Rui gazed admiringly at Xiao Yifei¡¯s profile, her face turning red as she recalled something and lowered her head. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xiao Yifei looked at Wu Rui. ¡°Nothing... nothing! The fearless Wu Rui isn¡¯t afraid of anything, except in front of Xiao Yifei, where she becomes as timid as a startled deer.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go have lunch!¡± Xiao Yifei gestured and headed towards the hospital cafeteria. In the afternoon, Xiao Yifei did not see the masked woman come back to the hospital, but he did see Zhang Wencai. ¡°Doctor Xiao Yifei!¡± Xiao Yifei, stealing time amid busyness, had just started reading the latest issue of ¡°Medical Exploration,¡± a magazine with substantial national influence, when Zhang Wencai from neurology pushed the door and entered. Through the perfect surgery he performed for Liu Jiao last time, Zhang Wencai was already regarded as a leading figure among the young generation of doctors at Shangjing Hospital and was highly valued by the leadership, gradually becoming an idol for younger generation doctors. Since that surgery, Zhang Wencai, despite his high pride, recognized Xiao Yifei as his peer. Furthermore, deep inside, Zhang Wencai harbored a suspicion, stemming from a certain thesis. Although it was from that surgery that Xiao Yifei and Zhang Wencai had become good friends, the others in the emergency room were aware of Xiao Yifei¡¯s extraordinary medical skills while those in other departments were still puzzled. ¡°How could the highly skilled and promising Zhang Wencai become friends with the supposedly worthless Xiao Yifei?¡± But only Zhang Wencai himself knew that in the craniotomy that dramatically elevated his reputation, he was merely the surgeon, while the one who truly ensured the surgery¡¯s success was the calm and collected Xiao Yifei! Xiao Yifei put down the ¡°Medical Exploration¡± magazine, looked up with a smile, and asked, ¡°Wencai, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Zhang Wencai looked at Xiao Yifei, his eyes somewhat grave, and said, ¡°Xiao Yifei, how have you offended Wu Shancong and Li Entang?¡± Xiao Yifei was completely baffled. He knew he didn¡¯t get along well with the two vice directors, but to say he had offended them seemed a bit much. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xiao Yifei still had a calm smile on his face. ¡°I heard from the higher-ups that Wu Shancong and Li Entang are specifically preparing to deal with you. What did you do to make them so furious?¡± Zhang Wencai asked, puzzled, because in his view, at Xiao Yifei¡¯s level, it was not possible to directly offend the deputy directors! Xiao Yifei shook his head; he genuinely did not know how he had offended these two deputy directors enough to make them personally come after him. Could something have gone wrong after he left Jiang Mingquan¡¯s house that day? ¡°It¡¯s okay, you don¡¯t need to worry.¡± Xiao Yifei lowered his head again and started reading the medical magazine in his hand. He only briefly reviewed the interactions he had with the two deputy directors in his mind. As for dealing with him, Xiao Yifei was not afraid at all. There was no need for Jiang Mingquan; just Meng Hu alone could resolve this minor issue. Zhang Wencai looked at Xiao Yifei¡¯s unconcerned appearance and was really anxious. For him, he might dismiss most people, but once he valued someone, he truly considered that person a friend. ¡°Xiao Yifei, I know your medical skill is indeed excellent, but you really shouldn¡¯t be arrogant. Look at you, such high medical skill and yet only somewhat famous in the emergency room, isn¡¯t it because you dislike those social interactions? Aside from me and Director Chen Xusheng, you barely communicate with other doctors. How can this be? You also need to carefully manage your network, or else if something unexpected happens, aside from me and Director Chen, no one will help you!¡± Zhang Wencai was indeed very worried for Xiao Yifei, giving advice, ¡°I suggest you do this, why not interact more with other doctors when you have nothing urgent, visit other departments more, invite them for meals, give some gifts or something¡ªat least you¡¯ll have people to speak for you. Otherwise, if the two directors really start to deal with you, then what will you do?¡± Xiao Yifei smiled faintly, raised his head, and said lightly, ¡°They dare to deal with me? Let them try.¡± Xiao Yifei indeed had the ability to say this now, but Zhang Wencai did not know. ¡°Xiao Yifei! You can¡¯t be like this! You must realize they are deputy directors! At the very least, they have been working in our hospital for over a decade. How can you, a doctor who just arrived, compete with them? I think they are already giving you a lot of face by specifically targeting you! Why don¡¯t you try to find them and ask what it¡¯s all about? If it really doesn¡¯t work out, maybe you should apologize!¡± ¡°Ha ha,¡± Xiao Yifei laughed: ¡°Apologize to them? Are they worthy?¡± Xiao Yifei remembered the corrupt and bribe-ridden reputations of these two deputy directors and felt an extreme disgust. ¡°I was even thinking of dealing with them! They dare to come after me? That¡¯s perfect! I¡¯ll take this opportunity to completely expose them!¡± The way these two old foxes bullied Nangong Yun still vividly appeared before Xiao Yifei. ¡°Sigh! You really won¡¯t listen! Never mind then! I¡¯ll go and discuss with Director Chen what to do next! I imagine Director Chen has probably heard about this too.¡± Zhang Wencai looked disappointed that Xiao Yifei was being stubborn, and he hurriedly went to find Chen Xusheng. Xiao Yifei gently shook his head, no wonder Director Chen Xusheng had a hesitant expression when he saw Xiao Yifei that morning; it wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to, but that he couldn¡¯t explain clearly to Zhang Wencai, as it involved Jiang Mingquan¡¯s issue, the fewer people who knew, the better. Besides, he didn¡¯t want to resort to using Jiang Mingquan¡¯s influence unless absolutely necessary. Xiao Yifei put the ¡°Medical Exploration¡± magazine back into the drawer without looking at it again, and he thought of Jiang Mingquan and remembered that it was almost time for their appointment to treat him. Xiao Yifei stretched lazily, deciding to visit Jiang Ming this weekend to treat a hidden ailment in the Dog King¡¯s body. He thought of the fiercely attractive cold scorpion and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips. After all, he had an understanding with the scorpion: curing Jiang Ming¡¯s hidden ailment would allow him to do as he pleased! Chapter 54 - 54 54 Secretly Developing Feelings ?54: Chapter 54: Secretly Developing Feelings 54: Chapter 54: Secretly Developing Feelings And hidden within the bottom of the drawer, there was a medical magazine, when Xiao Yifei flipped to the page after that of the magazine, he would¡¯ve found a research paper that would seem very familiar, ¡°Several Speculations Arising from Intracranial Structure and Brain Composition¡ªOn the Control of the Brain.¡± This worn yet impactful issue of ¡°Medical Exploration¡± devoted a significant number of pages to introduce this paper, and for the author, unknown to the magazine, it used phrases like ¡°a medical expert who has pioneered treatments within the skull¡± to emphasize its introduction. Clearly, ¡°Medical Exploration¡± also placed great importance on both the paper and its author. As to who submitted this paper to ¡°Medical Exploration,¡± it remained unknown for the time being, only at the end of the paper, there was a short phrase, ¡°If the author sees this report, please contact me immediately.¡± Following ¡®Yun¡¯ character, there was a series of contact information. Who ¡®Yun¡¯ was on the magazine, maybe others didn¡¯t know, but Nangong Yun herself was crystal clear, because she was the person who had submitted this paper to ¡°Medical Exploration.¡± Ever since Nangong Yun saw the post anonymously published by Xiao Yifei on the hospital forum, she was struck with awe and regarded it as something celestial. Nangong Yun¡¯s undergraduate study was in neurology, and although she went abroad for her PhD in a different field, her understanding of neurology was profound. The fundamental thesis that the paper built from the beginning surprised Nangong Yun. As she read further, she even fantasized that perhaps the author had written the paper next to a living brain, such was the impact the paper had on her. It was not just her¡ªafter Nangong Yun reposted this paper to ¡°Medical Exploration,¡± it had already sparked a new discussion in the field of neurology. Upon learning that the paper first appeared on the forum of her own hospital, she was overjoyed because this meant that the author was a doctor at Shangjing Hospital! She began searching eagerly for the author, planning to use her forum privileges to reveal the author¡¯s identity, but due to the original settings of the hospital¡¯s forum, she could do no such thing. She even tried tracking the IP address, but still to no avail. In the end, with no other options, Nangong Yun had to repost the paper in the influential and future-seeking magazine ¡°Medical Exploration,¡± in hopes of finding the author. But she never expected that her search would still yield nothing. Nangong Yun searched for a long time, but she could never find the author. She had only looked among the well-known doctors; it never crossed her mind that the paper that so shocked her was written on a whim by Xiao Yifei, who had just become an official doctor. The more Nangong Yun wanted to find, the more elusive the author became, and gradually she began to develop a peculiar feeling towards the author, a kind of distorted emotion, of which the instigator, Xiao Yifei, was unaware. ¡°Ah, what¡¯s the matter with Xiao Yifei, how has he offended Wu Shancong and Li Entang again.¡± Nangong Yun was genuinely worried for Xiao Yifei when she learned in her office that the two deputy directors specifically aimed to deal with him because, in her view, Xiao Yifei would have no means of resisting if these two deputies joined forces against him. Now she had to put the search for the paper¡¯s author aside and concern herself with Xiao Yifei¡¯s predicament. ¡°When will I be able to find you?¡± Nangong Yun¡¯s beautiful eyes gazed at the paper on the computer screen, her delicate fingers slowly tracing the screen, a fascinated look flashed in her eyes¡ªa sight that had never before been seen on the aloof Nangong Yun. ¡°Deputy Director Nangong, are you there?¡± Just as Nangong Yun was lost in thought in her office, Xiao Yifei knocked on the door. ¡°Xiao Yifei? You¡¯re here, come in.¡± Nangong Yun was startled upon hearing this, and her face quickly resumed its cool composure. She shut down her computer and sat up straight in her graceful posture, waiting for Xiao Yifei¡¯s arrival. Xiao Yifei, having received Nangong Yun¡¯s call, hurried to Nangong Yun¡¯s office. He saw Nangong Yun sitting coolly behind her desk, her white coat worn over a figure-hugging professional outfit. ¡°Vice President Nangong, you were looking for me?¡± Xiao Yifei said with a smile to Nangong Yun. His eyes swept over her discreetly curvy figure and he couldn¡¯t help but swallow quietly, because only he knew, through his x-ray vision, how hot Nangong Yun¡¯s body truly was! In Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes, Nangong Yun¡¯s coldness was nothing like the venomous chill of a scorpion. The scorpion¡¯s chill was born of bloodshed and heartlessness towards life, while Nangong Yun¡¯s coldness was of a gorgeous and superior nature, an innate aristocratic demeanor that set her apart from the common folk¡ªit was the kind of ethereal coolness that was untouched by the worldly smoke and fire. ¡°What¡¯s going on between you, Vice President Wu, and Vice President Li? Why did I hear that they are out to get you?¡± Nangong Yun stood up from her chair and approached Xiao Yifei with a cold expression. Xiao Yunfei looked down before he spoke, his gaze first landing on Nangong Yun¡¯s legs, perfectly shaped by her flesh-colored stockings. He quickly raised his head to meet her gaze: ¡°I have no idea. The last time I met with them was that night when you, Vice President Nangong, came to find me. I haven¡¯t seen either of them since then. I don¡¯t know what could have offended them.¡± Having said that, Xiao Yifei lowered his head again and glanced at Nangong Yun¡¯s long, perfect jade legs. ¡°What are you looking at! Why can¡¯t you behave!¡± Nangong Yun sharply caught Xiao Yifei¡¯s wandering eyes. Her phoenix eyes widened in anger, and she flared up: ¡°Look at you, so disreputable. I just heard that you made some achievements in the emergency room, so why have you reverted to this laxity now, and still have the time to let your eyes wander? Let me tell you, if those two are really teaming up against you, even I won¡¯t be able to protect you!¡± Unfazed by Nangong Yun¡¯s anger, Xiao Yifei responded calmly: ¡°Zhang Wencai has already informed me of this news. If they want to trouble me, let them come, as long as they¡¯re not afraid of death.¡± Nangong Yun, looking at the seemingly unbothered Xiao Yifei, grew even angrier. Her slender fingers dug into her waist as she watched him with an expression that was part frustration and part exasperation: ¡°How can you be so arrogantly confident? Can you really handle this situation on your own?¡± Xiao Yifei smiled nonchalantly at Nangong Yun: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Vice President Nangong, there¡¯s nothing to worry about.¡± Nangong Yun let out a deep sigh, her chest rising and falling slightly. She returned to her seat, her stunning visage tinged with helplessness: ¡°Never mind, I¡¯ll think of something for you. Tell me, what on earth have you done to make those two vice presidents resent you so much.¡± Xiao Yifei shook his head with a smile. He walked around Nangong Yun¡¯s large office desk to stand behind her. In his heart, he had a lot of affection for the cool-yet-passionate Nangong Yun. Seeing how she still cared about him made Xiao Yifei¡¯s heart warm. Chapter 55 - 55 55 Massage ?55: Chapter 55 Massage 55: Chapter 55 Massage Approaching Nangong Yun from behind, he placed his hand on her fragrant shoulder and began, ¡°Vice President Nangong, you really don¡¯t need to worry about me. Rest assured, it¡¯s all right.¡± Sitting in her chair and fuming with anger, Nangong Yun couldn¡¯t understand why Xiao Yifei was so arrogant. Then, she saw him walk around the table to stand behind her. The distinctly masculine aura emanating from behind her made Nangong Yun, who rarely had close encounters with men, somewhat uncomfortable. A faint blush spread across Nangong Yun¡¯s cold and detached face. She bit her lower lip lightly, truly unable to accept that Xiao Yifei was so near to her. Just as Nangong Yun wanted to turn around to warn Xiao Yifei not to stand so close to her, the next second she felt a pair of hands, radiating warmth, being placed on her fragrant shoulders. ¡°Mmm...¡± With a muffled groan, Nangong Yun felt as if Xiao Yifei¡¯s hands were channeling an endless heat into her delicate body. She couldn¡¯t help but shiver slightly, her long, slender legs tensing up suddenly. She immediately turned her head around, attempting to look at Xiao Yifei with an air of authority, ¡°What are you doing? Don¡¯t you have any sense of propriety? Get away from me immediately!¡± The moment Xiao Yifei¡¯s hands touched Nangong Yun¡¯s fragrant shoulders, he felt her body tremble. As he wondered why, he suddenly saw Nangong Yun turning around, her eyes filled with a complex expression, signaling him to stay away from her. Xiao Yifei had been in contact with Nangong Yun for quite some time now and he considered himself to be very familiar with her. Seeing the complexity in Nangong Yun¡¯s eyes, Xiao Yifei thought she was still angry with him for not heeding her advice. Thinking of how hard Nangong Yun worked every day, and that she was worried about him, Xiao Yifei¡¯s heart filled with compassion. ¡°Vice President Nangong, I know you mean well for me, but this time you really don¡¯t need to worry. I truly have my own way to solve it,¡± Xiao Yifei said while keeping his hand on Nangong Yun¡¯s fragrant shoulder. ¡°As for you, Vice President Nangong, you work so hard every day. Don¡¯t you think about your own health? Have you taken care of yourself as I mentioned the other day about your Body Energy being weak?¡± ¡°Look, your shoulders are so stiff. It must be from working for such a long time. Let me help you with a massage.¡± When Xiao Yifei placed his hands on Nangong Yun¡¯s fragrant shoulders and realized that her entire body had tensed up, he didn¡¯t think much of it and began massaging her shoulders. For some reason, the longer people interacted with Nangong Yun, the more they found this icy beauty inaccessible and exceedingly aloof. Only Xiao Yifei, in his interactions with Nangong Yun, gradually lost his fear of her and increasingly found that she couldn¡¯t intimidate him. On the contrary, Xiao Yifei felt full of sympathy for this icy beauty. As Xiao Yifei¡¯s hands began to knead on Nangong Yun¡¯s fragrant shoulders, he could feel the softness of her skin through her clothes. Initially, Xiao Yifei had no other thoughts. But standing behind Nangong Yun, smelling her faint body scent, and touching her body, Xiao Yifei gradually began to respond. Xiao Yifei, still a virgin and at an age brimming with vigor, found every morning that his little brother stood proudly in protest. Especially after practicing the movements from the Dragon Transformation Technique booklet, the feeling became even more intense, as if his little brother was so robust it could pierce through walls. Xiao Yifei¡¯s fingers gently traced over Nangong Yun¡¯s shoulder through the fabric, lightly touching her skin. His breathing grew rapid, while a blush slowly crept over Nangong Yun¡¯s graceful neck. ¡°How dare he just start touching me without my consent! Who gave him the audacity?¡± Nangong Yun couldn¡¯t fathom why Xiao Yifei was so bold, while other men would only nod and bow under her icy aura, yet Xiao Yifei dared to directly touch her body! Nangong Yun was somewhat angry, but what frightened her most was that deep down, she didn¡¯t repel Xiao Yifei¡¯s touch; what was even more terrifying was that as Xiao Yifei¡¯s hands began to knead her shoulders, she could faintly sense waves of his masculine aura from behind her, and she actually enjoyed this sensation immensely! When Nangong Yun first scolded Xiao Yifei but he didn¡¯t retreat, Nangong Yun, for some reason, blushed, gently biting her cherry lips, and remained silent. ¡°How is his hand moving slowly downwards! Didn¡¯t he say he was only going to massage my shoulders?¡± Nangong Yun¡¯s legs were tensely clutched together, sensing Xiao Yifei¡¯s hands change their location, a look of panic appeared for the first time on the face of this frosty beauty. ¡°How dare he! How dare he move downwards! What is Xiao Yifei trying to do! What are his hands trying to do!¡± As she felt Xiao Yifei¡¯s hot hands continue to move down from her shoulders, Nangong Yun¡¯s heart was in turmoil. ¡°So he¡¯s just starting to massage the side of my arm.¡± Finally, Xiao Yifei¡¯s hands passed by the sensitive area and stopped on the outer side of Nangong Yun¡¯s arm, starting to massage it. When she realized that Xiao Yifei was merely starting to massage the side of her arm, Nangong Yun, for some reason, felt a slight sense of loss. The season was summer, the weather hot, and everyone wore very little. Nangong Yun¡¯s professional attire consisted of a hip-hugging, body-con skirt for the lower body, and a blouse with a small jacket for the upper body. However, because of the heat, Ouyang Bing wasn¡¯t wearing her small jacket in the office, meaning Nangong Yun was only wearing a thin, sleeveless white blouse under her white lab coat, which was also sleeveless in the summer. Xiao Yifei took a deep breath and mustered the courage to finally reach for Nangong Yun¡¯s arm. He was very nervous because he didn¡¯t know how she would react to his action; but when Xiao Yifei finally touched Nangong Yun¡¯s skin without any obstruction and found that her body only slightly shuddered before she remained still, his nervousness subsided. Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes slightly reddened, his breathing hurried as his palms repeatedly glided over Nangong Yun¡¯s arm, experiencing for the first time the soft smoothness of her skin, truly understanding the meaning of skin as smooth as creamy jade. If saying that the initial shoulder massage somewhat resembled a proper massage, then Xiao Yifei¡¯s current actions had gradually drifted away from the word ¡®massage¡¯, slowly taking on a different meaning. Xiao Yifei was pressed closely against the chair behind Nangong Yun, his hands ceaselessly caressing her jade-like arms, and the moment Xiao Yifei leaned in, Nangong Yun shuddered violently as if struck by lightning. Since Nangong Yun did not like bulky chairs, she chose for her office a very comfortable and soft one, particularly the backrest, which was very light. A light backrest also had a characteristic: if there was anything behind it, one could feel it without obstruction. Thus, when Xiao Yifei pressed against her chair, in just an instant, Nangong Yun could feel something hot pressing against her back. Chapter 56 - 56 56 Unrequited Love ?56: Chapter 56: Unrequited Love 56: Chapter 56: Unrequited Love ¡°Mmm...!¡± Nangong Yun let out a soft moan, her stunning face flushed red. She bit her lip, her gaze slowly becoming hazy. Although others saw her as a very aloof woman, Nangong Yun knew it was related to her personality. However, her body was extremely sensitive, which left Nangong Yun herself quite helpless. Thus, she used a colder exterior to mask herself, not knowing that Xiao Yifei, this reckless young man, would rush straight towards her, completely undeterred by her aloof majesty. ¡°Huff...¡± Nangong Yun could clearly hear the rapid breathing of the man behind her who had just become an official doctor. At that moment, Nangong Yun did not want to stop at all. She squinted her eyes pretending to be unaware, while under the table, her legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, were already entwined. ¡°Vice Director Nangong.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Nangong Yun¡¯s face was covered with flush, and her eyes were silky. If Xiao Yifei had seen Nangong Yun¡¯s face at this moment, he would never forget how temptingly beautiful this icy beauty was! She let out a soft moan, her body suddenly tensed and then relaxed, and then she collapsed in the chair, breathing hastily. ¡°Do you have a boyfriend?¡± Just then, Xiao Yifei suddenly blurted out the question, shocking Nangong Yun sitting in the chair, her flirtatious eyes clearing as she came back to senses. At that moment, Xiao Yifei too stopped his actions, tilted his head, and stared straight at Nangong Yun, his eyes seemingly ablaze. Nangong Yun turned around, looked at the handsome Xiao Yifei, her heart skipped a beat, her mouth opening as if an answer was about to spill out, but then, Ouyang Bing suddenly remembered the author of that thesis, how well it resonated with her. With that thought, Nangong Yun lowered her head and remained silent. Seeing such behavior from Nangong Yun, a fleeting look of disappointment crossed Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes. He smiled and then spoke, ¡°Vice Director Nangong, I¡¯ll step out then. You need not worry about Wu Shancong and Li Entang on my behalf.¡± Xiao Yifei smiled as he prepared to leave, and as he reached the door, he turned around, teasing Nangong Yun, ¡°Vice Director Nangong, try not to always look so stern. You look much prettier with a flushed face like now!¡± With those words, Xiao Yifei pushed open the door and left stylishly. Nangong Yun stared dumbfounded in the direction in which Xiao Yifei had left, a surge of melancholy suddenly hitting her heart, as if she had missed out on something, recalling the intimacy just moments ago, the warmth brought by Xiao Yifei¡¯s magical hands to her body, and her face flushed once again. ¡°How could this be me? I can¡¯t possibly be that kind of loose woman!¡± Nangong Yun huffed and patted her delicate hands. ¡°Xiao Yifei really has guts! If it weren¡¯t for my admiration for the author of that thesis, I might actually have developed feelings for Xiao Yifei, but alas!¡± The flirtatious Nangong Yun in the office was not the same aloof Nangong Yun that people at Shangjing Hospital were scared of. ¡°It¡¯s really uncomfortable to be so constrained; it¡¯s more comfortable to let go. After all that fuss, it turns out Nangong Yun does have someone she likes. Good that no major mistake was made.¡± Xiao Yifei sighed and patted his ¡®little brother¡¯ ¡°You¡¯ve had it tough following me.¡± Xiao Yifei, recalling the soft touch of Nangong Yun¡¯s hands he¡¯d accidentally brushed against, and her reaction at that time, couldn¡¯t help but exclaim to himself, ¡°She¡¯s awfully sensitive!¡± Shaking his head, he tried to shake the alluring image of Nangong Yun from his mind. Xiao Yifei felt somewhat downhearted; in fact, he liked Nangong Yun quite a lot. Who would have thought Nangong Yun already had someone she liked? Xiao Yifei sighed softly. He forced himself to perk up, since, after all, he still had to see patients in the afternoon. For someone who had just become an official doctor, no matter how skilled at medicine, he still had to work a full day. However, when he returned to the office, Wu Rui, who had been keeping an eye on him, could tell his spirits were low. ¡°Doctor Xiao, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Wu Rui approached Xiao Yifei cautiously and spoke softly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xiao Yifei looked up at Wu Rui and smiled. ¡°Okay then.¡± Wu Rui replied quietly, but after a moment, she raised her little head, her tight chest accentuating the pink nurse uniform in a beautiful arc, and she blinked at Xiao Yifei, saying, ¡°Doctor Xiao, if there¡¯s anything upsetting you, you must tell me! Although I don¡¯t know if I can help, I can definitely be a good listener.¡± Xiao Yifei looked at Wu Rui with slight surprise and nodded with a smile. In the afternoon, when Xiao Yifei saw Nangong Yun again, he was somewhat surprised because for some unknown reason, Nangong Yun was wearing a new pair of stockings. Their meeting was a bit awkward as they just nodded and greeted each other without any further communication, especially Nangong Yun, who seemed to blush slightly as she passed by Xiao Yifei. Time passed quickly and days flew by. Although Xiao Yifei had heard rumors about people wanting to target him, he found that Wu Shancong and Li Entang made no move, and the mysterious woman with a voluptuous body wearing a mask he had seen that day never appeared again. In a blink of an eye, the weekend arrived, and it was time for Xiao Yifei to go to help Jiang Mingquan with his treatment. To keep a low profile, Xiao Yifei made a phone call, letting Meng Hu know to pick him up a bit farther from the hospital. He packed up his belongings and left the hospital straight away. Just before leaving, he suddenly heard that there was going to be a charity gala, Xiao Yifei shook his head and didn¡¯t pay much attention, and then he left the hospital. Chapter 57 - 57 57 VIP Treatment ?57: Chapter 57 VIP Treatment 57: Chapter 57 VIP Treatment In front of Shangjing Hospital at the Jingxi intersection, Meng Hu, a fierce and imposing figure, got out of the driver¡¯s seat under the surprised gaze of the passersby and respectfully opened the door of the Porsche Cayenne for Xiao Yifei, ushering him into the car. ¡°How is it going? How has the elderly patient been recently?¡± Xiao Yifei asked casually after getting into the car. Meng Hu turned his head, his eyes filled with fervent admiration as he looked at Xiao Yifei, ¡°Doctor Xiao, you really are a miracle worker. The old man has been much stronger lately. He had a checkup at home the day before yesterday, and his health was fantastic! Doctor Xiao, you truly are incredible!¡± Xiao Yifei glanced at Meng Hu and said indifferently, ¡°Is that so? Then I can rest assured. Although the elderly patient still has some issues, they are all old problems. I¡¯ll go help him adjust slowly, and I¡¯m sure he¡¯ll get better and better.¡± Meng Hu looked at the serene Xiao Yifei with deep respect, his tone full of reverence, ¡°Doctor Xiao, I must apologize to you again for any past offenses. I hope you don¡¯t take it to heart!¡± Xiao Yifei waved his hand, laughing heartily, ¡°What are you talking about? That was just your concern getting the better of you.¡± The two chatted idly on the way as the Cayenne entered ¡®Mu Yuan Villa¡¯, driving towards No. 9 Emperor Garden. Sitting in the car, Xiao Yifei saw from a distance a large crowd standing at the entrance of No. 9 Emperor Garden. While he was curious where all these people had come from, Meng Hu stopped the car, walked over to the passenger side, and once again respectfully opened the car door for Xiao Yifei. ¡°Doctor Xiao, after you.¡± Xiao Yifei stepped out of the car, followed its sleek lines, and from afar, saw an imposing elderly man standing at the forefront of the crowd. It was Jiang Mingquan! Jiang Mingquan was now able to walk on his own. His complexion was ruddy, his presence as deep as the abyss, holding the power of life and death with an air of absolute authority. But upon seeing Xiao Yifei get out of the car, the expression on Jiang Mingquan¡¯s authoritative face immediately changed. He sported a full-faced smile, taking the initiative to walk towards Xiao Yifei. Twisting her slender waist and following behind Xiao Yifei was a woman with a cold face, the same one who had made a bet with Xiao Yifei, the venomous Butterfly Knife. ¡°Mr. Xiao!¡± Jiang Mingquan was the first to greet Xiao Yifei with a respectful clasped hands and a beaming face. Towards this inscrutable doctor, Jiang Mingquan dare not show the slightest neglect! ¡°Old Master Jiang! Why have you come out personally?¡± Xiao Yifei was puzzled. ¡°When you come, sir, of course I must personally welcome you! No one else is qualified!¡± Jiang Mingquan replied with a smile. ¡°Haha, Old Master, you¡¯re too kind. I see you¡¯ve recovered well ¨C walking with the might of a tiger!¡± Xiao Yifei felt a bit embarrassed and tried to change the subject. ¡°If not for the blessing of Mr. Xiao, I wouldn¡¯t have recovered so well! Speaking of which, Mr. Xiao, your medical skill is truly excellent!¡± Jiang Mingquan began extolling Xiao Yifei¡¯s medical skill with great admiration, ¡°After you revived me last time, I recuperated for a while, and then upon examination, my old body¡ª I didn¡¯t expect it to have recovered so much already!¡± Jiang Mingquan said excitedly, and regarding Xiao Yifei¡¯s visit to provide further treatment today, he was extremely pleased! Who wouldn¡¯t want a healthy body? Xiao Yifei laughed and said, ¡°Elder, don¡¯t worry, the subsequent treatment might take some time, but rest assured, Scorpion and I have already agreed, we will definitely cure you! Don¡¯t worry!¡± Jiang Mingquan, having heard Xiao Yifei¡¯s words, trembled with excitement, ¡°As long as I have Mr. Xiao¡¯s word, that¡¯s all I need! That¡¯s all I need!¡± After Xiao Yifei finished speaking, his eyes swept over Scorpion¡¯s curvaceous figure, he winked at her teasingly, a naughty smile on his face. ¡°Isn¡¯t that right, Xiao Ying?¡± Scorpion initially showed a flash of happiness on her normally cold face when she saw Xiao Yifei, but the sight of him looking at her with a naughty smile, and hearing him call her Xiao Ying, reminded her of the arrogantly beautiful Nangong Yun who had come to pick up Xiao Yifei that night, which made her expression sour. She huffed coldly and turned her gaze away from Xiao Yifei. ¡°Xiao Ying! What¡¯s this way to treat Mr. Xiao? Apologize right now!¡± Noticing Scorpion¡¯s behavior, Jiang Mingquan immediately turned around to scold her. Seeing that Jiang Mingquan was indeed upset and knowing that she respected Jiang Mingquan greatly, Scorpion reluctantly came in front of Xiao Yifei, her face oozing reluctance, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Doctor Xiao!¡± Xiao Yifei laughed heartily. He really enjoyed seeing the tough and sexy Scorpion humbled. ¡°No problem, no problem! Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s go see the elder for his treatment!¡± Xiao Yifei then suggested that they start the treatment for Jiang Mingquan. ¡°Yes, yes, yes! Sir, please come in!¡± Jiang Mingquan, thrilled that Xiao Yifei initiated the offer, couldn¡¯t hide his joy. He waved his hand to the sea of people behind him and said, ¡°Mr. Xiao has come all this way to treat me, and you¡¯re being so rude!¡± Meanwhile, Xiao Yifei was admiring Scorpion¡¯s round and pert buttocks. Perhaps her figure had something to do with her martial arts training; she had first-rate curves, highlighted by a pair of slim, toned legs in tight jeans that attracted the eye. And the most beautiful part of her was those slender, soft hands. At the moment, Scorpion was holding a Butterfly Knife, her nimble fingers coated with red nail polish seemingly floating over the knife like a butterfly gliding in the air. Following Jiang Mingquan, Scorpion turned around, presenting her perfect silhouette to Xiao Yifei. Through Xiao Yifei¡¯s enhanced eyes, Scorpion¡¯s beautiful legs and jade-like buttocks appeared even more perfect, which made him unable to take his eyes off her bottom and legs. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Xiao! You¡¯ve worked hard!¡± After Jiang Mingquan¡¯s command, the crowd burst into a synchronized, ear-shattering cheer. The noise startled Xiao Yifei, who had been intently sneaking peeks at Scorpion. He shivered and shrank his neck, startled. ¡°Oh my God!¡± Xiao Yifei quickly patted his chest and muttered, ¡°It¡¯s better not to spy too much! You could scare someone to death!¡± This behavior made Xiao Yifei¡¯s image of a hermit-like master collapse completely. Meng Hu, who was standing behind Xiao Yifei, felt that the more he watched, the less he understood about this mysterious young man. Scorpion, facing away from Xiao Yifei, showed a mischievously triumphant smile, as if she had a set of eyes on the back of her head that could see Xiao Yifei¡¯s reactions. After being frightened by the crowd, Scorpion began to swing her hips more cheerfully, while this time Xiao Yi followed with a straight face, not looking anywhere but straight ahead. The group eventually entered the villa and made it to Xiao Yifei¡¯s second-floor room. Meng Hu tactfully stayed at the door without coming in. Scorpion, Jiang Mingquan, and Xiao Yifei entered the room, closed the door, and Xiao Yifei began to prepare for Jiang Mingquan¡¯s treatment. Chapter 58 - 58 58 Hidden Illness ?58: Chapter 58 Hidden Illness 58: Chapter 58 Hidden Illness Standing in the room, the seductive figure of the woman named ¡°Scorpion¡± leaned against the wall, her arms crossed over her chest. Silently positioned in the corner, her lips painted in bright red were slightly pouted. The butterfly knife she skillfully handled clicked into place in her delicate hand, and her face reverted to that cold expression, accustomed to the sight of blood. The colder her expression, the icier her eyes, the more her red lips and chilled demeanor accentuated her sensuality. Sensual, enchanting, icy, yet dangerous ¡ª these attributes mingled on Scorpion, projecting an astonishing charm. Scorpion had not yet seen how Xiao Yifei truly treated illnesses, and this time, she intended to observe closely. Xiao Yifei glanced at Scorpion standing in the corner, and his own heart involuntarily quickened its pace. ¡°Scorpion!¡± Xiao Yifei motioned to her with his hand. Scorpion¡¯s gaze, cold as ice, turned towards Xiao Yifei. She disliked it when Sun Li called her by that nickname, and she felt that Xiao Yifei calling her over was never a good sign. As expected, Scorpion only heard Xiao Yifei say with displeasure, ¡°Don¡¯t stand there, I¡¯ve told you before, haven¡¯t I? I don¡¯t like being watched while I treat someone! Get out, get out! I¡¯ll call you later!¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Scorpion had no intention to move initially, but upon catching Jiang Mingquan¡¯s gaze on her, she couldn¡¯t help but snort coldly. She glared fiercely at Xiao Yifei and turned to leave the room. Just before exiting, Xiao Yifei heard her mutter, ¡°Fine, I won¡¯t watch, what¡¯s so great about that!¡± Xiao Yifei chuckled and shook his head; it wasn¡¯t about watching or not watching, rather, with Scorpion, that enticing figure standing there, Xiao Yifei found it utterly impossible to focus on treating Jiang Mingquan. Watching the interaction between Xiao Yifei and Scorpion, Jiang Mingquan¡¯s face broke into a teasing smile, ¡°My goddaughter, who grew up orphaned and was raised by me, has always worked for me. Perhaps because she¡¯s seen too much carnage, she always wears a cold expression towards others. Yet, it seems she behaves somewhat differently with you, Mr. Xiao.¡± Xiao Yifei, feeling somewhat embarrassed as if Jiang Mingquan was trying to introduce a girlfriend to him, blushed and waved his hands without saying a word. ¡°Haha, Mr. Xiao, you¡¯re still shy! Scorpion, not only has she mastered impressive skills, but she also holds dual degrees in Economics and Management from the third-ranked Durham University in the whole of the UK, and moreover, she¡¯s beautiful. She truly is exceptionally outstanding.¡± Jiang Mingquan winked and laughed as he spoke to Xiao Yifei. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about that! We should hurry and treat your condition!¡± Xiao Yifei quickly stood up and reached out to treat Jiang Mingquan. ¡°Haha, truly a man with a child¡¯s heart, Mr. Xiao. Having such skills surely wasn¡¯t effortless. I didn¡¯t expect you to be so shy when it comes to girls,¡± Jiang Mingquan laughed heartily, feeling for the first time that Xiao Yifei seemed more human; otherwise, the enigma surrounding Xiao Yifei and his potent medical skills sometimes made Jiang Mingquan doubt if he was even human. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s start the treatment!¡± Jiang Mingquan lay down on the bed and looked at Xiao Yifei, ¡°How do I need to assist you?¡± When Xiao Yifei focused his attention on the medical aspects, his demeanor switched instantly; his eyes gleamed brightly, and he exuded an aura of confidence that made Jiang Mingquan straighten up on the bed, inwardly admiring, ¡°What a confident and handsome young man!¡± ¡°Elder Jiang, please lie down first.¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s voice was deep and steady, expressing boundless confidence, ¡°Elder Jiang, you are somewhat aware of the illness in your body right now. It stems from a condition acquired in your youth, so to fully cure it, it is not just about this moment but also about ongoing treatment that I will provide along with gradual adjustments in the future.¡± Xiao Yifei continued in a flat tone, ¡°The main thing is my treatment. After each treatment, I will instruct you on some precautions. Just pay attention to them; during the treatment process, you don¡¯t need to do anything special, just lie on the bed and cooperate.¡± Upon hearing the steady voice of Xiao Yifei, Jiang Mingquan felt reassured, but even so, he couldn¡¯t help but ask worriedly, ¡°Mr. Xiao, how long will it take to cure the hidden ailments in my body? Do you need any help? Just tell me, and I¡¯ll arrange it!¡± Xiao Yifei looked up at Jiang Mingquan and said lightly, ¡°No need, I am sufficient. However, to completely eradicate your condition with my current capabilities, it will take about six months. The treatment is straightforward, so rest assured.¡± As soon as his words ended, Xiao Yifei began to take action; he first lifted Jiang Mingquan¡¯s left arm. Jiang Mingquan was a bit curious, for, in his opinion, aside from the occasional sudden pain that made it difficult to lift, there was nothing else wrong with his left arm. Thus, he was somewhat puzzled as to why Xiao Yifei lifted his arm. ¡°Mr. Jiang, has your left arm been injured before?¡± Xiao Yifei seriously observed Jiang Mingquan¡¯s left arm. In fact, he had already used his Clairvoyance to keenly observe the internal condition of the arm. ¡°Ah? Injured? I can¡¯t remember,¡± Jiang Mingquan said. Completely confused, Jiang remembered his left arm being entirely healthy. So why did Xiao Yifei say that? ¡°Right here,¡± Xiao Yifei said indifferently. He stretched out his hand and drew a circle with his fingertip about 5 centimeters above the elbow joint on Jiang Mingquan¡¯s arm. Following Xiao Yifei¡¯s hand, Jiang Mingquan distinctly felt a warm current flowing from Xiao Yifei¡¯s fingertips into his own arm, gathering at the area Xiao Yifei had circled. In the next instant, a surge of tingling, numbness, itchiness, and pain suddenly washed over Jiang Mingquan¡¯s arm. ¡°Hiss.¡± Jiang Mingquan couldn¡¯t help but inhale sharply as he looked at Xiao Yifei in total shock. ¡°What... What¡¯s going on? Why does my arm feel so uncomfortable!¡± Xiao Yifei glanced at Jiang Mingquan and, to avoid further suspicion from Jiang, had to find an excuse. He replied, ¡°Relax, this is a type of nourishing therapy in Chinese medicine, stimulating acupoints to repair issues in the tissues of your arm.¡± As soon as Xiao Yifei spoke, Jiang Mingquan suddenly remembered that his left arm had indeed been injured. It happened when he first arrived in Shangjing, when he was a novice and had no choice but to fight fiercely to make a name for himself. During one such brawl, his left arm was severely struck by someone claimed to be a martial artist, exactly at the spot that Xiao Yifei had circled! At that time, Jiang Mingquan¡¯s left arm became immobilized. Afterward, many methods had to be used to restore its mobility. Because there had been no further issues with his left arm in his subsequent life, Jiang Mingquan had gradually forgotten the incident. It was only today, under Xiao Yifei¡¯s hands, that Jiang Mingquan recalled the incident. ¡°I remember now! My left arm had been injured before!¡± Despite being a powerful figure accustomed to great challenges, Jiang Mingquan was still incredibly shocked by Xiao Yifei¡¯s miraculous performance, ¡°But that was decades ago! I had completely forgotten about it! I can¡¯t believe, Mr. Xiao, that you could actually discover it!¡± Chapter 59 - 59 59 Prostrate in Worship ?59: Chapter 59 Prostrate in Worship 59: Chapter 59 Prostrate in Worship With a sense of awe, despite the discomfort in his left arm, Jiang Mingquan carefully said to Xiao Yifei, ¡°Mr. Xiao, could there be something wrong with my left arm?¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s gaze was focused intently on Jiang Mingquan¡¯s left arm. He did not respond to Jiang Mingquan¡¯s question; instead, his hands were busy massaging the injured area. In Xiao Yifei¡¯s sight, Jiang Mingquan¡¯s left arm slowly became more defined, resembling the unraveling of a cocoon. The aged nerve fibers, blood vessels, and muscle fibers were all clearly visible in Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes. At the location where Xiao Yifei was drawing circles, a mass of muscle fibers tangled like a chaotic bundle was showing an unhealthy purple due to prolonged ischemia. Xiao Yifei¡¯s line of consciousness was already focused on this bundle of muscle fibers, the source of warmth Jiang Mingquan had just felt. At that moment, Xiao Yifei was manipulating his line of consciousness to untangle the chaotic muscle fibers. ¡°If the problems left in your left arm remain untreated, within three years the arm will become useless and you won¡¯t be able to use it anymore.¡± Fully absorbed in manipulating the line of consciousness, Xiao Yifei then began to respond to Jiang Mingquan¡¯s question. ¡°Ah! Is it that serious?¡± If Jiang Mingquan had any doubts about Xiao Yifei before, the display Xiao Yifei provided had completely convinced him. Jiang Mingquan believed every word Xiao Yifei said. Hearing Xiao Yifei¡¯s reply, Jiang Mingquan¡¯s expression twisted slightly, an effect of shock but also due to the strange sensation caused by Xiao Yifei¡¯s manipulation of the muscle fibers. ¡°Hmm.¡± Xiao Yifei responded indifferently, then his gaze suddenly sharpened as he picked up a syringe set aside for administering an IV to Jiang Mingquan. He thrust it into Jiang¡¯s arm, and as Jiang looked on in surprise, the needle gently pierced the skin at the place Xiao Yifei had circled on Jiang Mingquan¡¯s left arm. Then, a stream of black blood surged out. ¡°All done.¡± Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Xiao Yifei breathed a sigh of relief. After dealing with the disordered muscle fibers, he had also released the long-accumulated stagnant blood. The moment the black blood flowed out of Jiang Mingquan¡¯s left arm, he suddenly felt a great release in his arm, as if a large stone had finally hit the ground. The numb, itchy, and painful sensations disappeared, and he began moving his left arm freely. It felt different from before, as if a blocked pipe had been cleared. ¡°Thank you, sir!¡± Jiang Mingquan stood up, bowed respectfully to Xiao Yifei, and said, ¡°Mr. Xiao, you have worked hard!¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s performance made him more puzzled about this young man. Young as he was, Xiao was proficient in both Western and Chinese medicine, and that warm flow moving through Jiang¡¯s body might even be the legendary Inner Energy! Jiang Mingquan now felt even greater admiration for Xiao Yifei and also a sense of unknown fear. No matter what, Jiang Mingquan had made up his mind once again. Xiao Yifei, this young man, was not someone to provoke. Not only was he not to be provoked, but Jiang should also try to be on good terms with him! ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xiao Yifei smiled lightly. He then said to Jiang Mingquan, ¡°Treating your left arm first does not mean that its condition is the most critical, but rather, some organs in your body can¡¯t handle treatment in your current state. Don¡¯t worry, let¡¯s take it slowly.¡± Jiang Mingquan looked at the young man in front of him, confident, handsome, and extraordinarily mysterious, and nodded his head respectfully, ¡°I¡¯ll follow Mr. Xiao¡¯s arrangements in everything.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s call it a day then. I¡¯m also about to leave. I¡¯ll inform you the next time I come to treat Old Mr. Jiang.¡± After helping Jiang Mingquan treat an arm, Xiao Yifei was ready to leave, but just then, Poison Scorpion heard some noise in the room, knocked on the door, and came in. Seeing the cold-faced Poison Scorpion, Xiao Yifei immediately transformed like another person, leering at the scorpion flirtatiously, ¡°Xiao Ying! Don¡¯t hurry! Our agreement will soon be realized!¡± ¡°Humph! Less talk! I can¡¯t be bothered with you!¡± Poison Scorpion rolled her beautiful eyes at Xiao Yifei, then she turned to face Jiang Mingquan, ¡°Old Grandmaster, is today¡¯s treatment completed? There¡¯s a charity gala tonight, are you attending?¡± Upon hearing Poison Scorpion¡¯s words, Jiang Mingquan clapped his hands suddenly, quickly turning his head towards Xiao Yifei, ¡°Mr. Xiao! There¡¯s a medical charity gala this evening, you should come along too!¡± Xiao Yifei gently shook his head; he wasn¡¯t too keen on going, thinking the time might be better spent at home practicing the Dragon Transformation Technique. But the next second, Xiao Yifei saw Poison Scorpion¡¯s graceful figure, and thus, he turned his head and asked, ¡°Is Xiao Ying also going?¡± Jiang Mingquan nodded, and Xiao Yifei chuckled, his gaze sweeping over Poison Scorpion¡¯s fiery figure, ¡°Then I might as well check it out, join in the fun! By the way, Old Mr. Jiang, the charity gala is all about participation and increasing exposure, right? Tell Xiao Ying to dress a bit more seductively! That way, it wouldn¡¯t be in vain to have invited you!¡± Poison Scorpion was so furious she couldn¡¯t speak, her full chest heaving with anger. ¡°Old Grandmaster! How can you listen to Xiao Yifei¡¯s nonsense!¡± Jiang Mingquan laughed heartily, not taking Poison Scorpion¡¯s words seriously, and said to Xiao Yifei, ¡°Haha, got it! Okay, first, I¡¯ll have Meng Hu drive you there; you go and familiarize yourself with the place. They have a buffet set up, so you can eat something first, and we will arrive shortly after.¡± Xiao Yifei nodded, deciding to take a tour at this so-called charity gala, since he had never attended such an event since childhood. ¡°Dr. Xiao, come with me, I¡¯ll drive you there.¡± After receiving instructions from Jiang Mingquan, Meng Hu drove Xiao Yifei to a high-end club on the outskirts of Yanjing named ¡®Phoenix Palace¡¯, where the charity gala was to be held. ¡°This charity gala is ostensibly organized to scout for more exemplary doctors in the field of medicine, but its primary purpose is really for everyone to network and expand their connections. The so-called charity involves participants donating money which goes to various hospitals and to individuals urgently needing funds to overcome medical challenges. Besides money, other donations are also made. However, some attendees come mainly to seek solutions for their medical issues, as the representatives invited to this event are prominent figures in the medical field with substantial resources, which can be very beneficial in treating one¡¯s own conditions.¡± While in the car, Meng Hu briefly introduced Xiao Yifei to the real purposes behind this so-called medical charity gala. Chapter 60 - 60 60 Agile Reach ?60: Chapter 60 Agile Reach 60: Chapter 60 Agile Reach The ¡°Phoenix Palace¡± was located on the outskirts of Shangjing, nestled in a serene environment. Its decoration was low-key yet still managed to convey a sense of grandeur. Choosing this place for the medical charity gala was indeed fitting, reflecting that the organizers had put some thought into it. When Meng Hu drove the Porsche Cayenne with its beautiful body curves into ¡°Phoenix Palace¡±, the guards at the entrance didn¡¯t hinder him at all, saluting and allowing him to enter. ¡°What? Do you come here often? It seems the guards are quite familiar with you.¡± Xiao Yifei casually turned his head and asked. ¡°Haha, not that familiar. This charity gala has been held for four years now; this is the fifth. It¡¯s always been held here every year.¡± Meng Hu grinned broadly, his fierce and intimidating face unexpectedly showing a hint of simplicity and honesty. ¡°Oh,¡± Xiao Yifei nodded and turned to look around the ¡°Phoenix Palace¡±. The interior of Phoenix Palace was tranquil, with a stream mysteriously brought in from the outskirts running slowly under a rockery, surrounded by birdsong and fragrant flowers. It was an overwhelmingly comfortable and elegant atmosphere. When Meng Hu drove to the parking lot, Xiao Yifei saw many luxury cars lined up side by side¡ªBMW, Audi, Bentley, Mercedes, dazzling to see. If it weren¡¯t for his clairvoyance, Xiao Yifei might never have had the opportunity to come to such a place in his life, and sitting in the car, he felt a momentary sense of awe. ¡°Doctor Xiao, I¡¯ll drop you off here. You can have a look around first; the gala starts at seven-thirty.¡± Meng Hu parked the car, got out first, and opened the door for Xiao Yifei: ¡°This place is quite big; it is enough space for Doctor Xiao to look around. If you¡¯re hungry, you can head to the main hall first¡ªthere¡¯s food there. We will join you shortly.¡± Xiao Yifei raised his head and gave Meng Hu a smile: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be fine. You can go back.¡± Meng Hu scratched his thick head, greeted Xiao Yifei, got back in the car, and left. Xiao Yifei wandered around the ¡°Phoenix Palace¡±, finding that aside from the thoughtful environment and decor, there wasn¡¯t much else to see. He checked his watch; it was only six-thirty, an hour before the event. Not knowing what else to do, Xiao Yifei decided to head to the main hall to sit for a while and wait for the gala to start. Indeed, Xiao Yifei had arrived early. When he entered the main hall, he found that apart from the buffet of snacks already set up, there were only a few guests present, with more staff members busily setting up the venue. The hall was well-organized, everyone diligently attending to their duties. Xiao Yifei casually picked up a glass of orange juice from the table and leaned in the corner, contemplating the movements of the Dragon Transformation Technique while silently sipping his drink. Time flew by. When Xiao Yifei checked his watch again, he saw that half an hour had passed, and it was already seven o¡¯clock. The venue was nearly ready, with only the final touches of cleaning left to do. Holding the empty glass that once held orange juice, Xiao Yifei prepared to get another drink, but just as he approached the table where the glasses were placed, a cleaner bending down to sweep the floor didn¡¯t see Xiao Yifei behind her. The woman stepped backward directly onto Xiao Yifei¡¯s shoe and subsequently tumbled onto the table with the glasses of orange juice. ¡°Ouch!¡± the cleaner exclaimed. She didn¡¯t have time to worry about her own safety but immediately turned her worried gaze toward the table where the juice cups were placed. Seeing the cups filled with orange juice toppling over on the table, she cried out again, ¡°Be careful! We just finished setting those up!¡± Looking at the glass about to smash on the floor with a look of despair, the cleaner suddenly noticed a figure that moved with exceptional agility. The figure swiftly hooked one foot to catch a glass that was about to fall, then bent over to scoop another glass that was suspended in mid-air, and with a lift of his hand, he picked up the entire white tablecloth, preventing the glasses from shattering on the ground. ¡°Thank you so much! I really can¡¯t thank you enough!¡± Zhao Rong quickly got up from the floor, her face brimming with relief as if she had escaped disaster. She patted her chest, expressing her heartfelt gratitude to Xiao Yifei, ¡°Young man, you¡¯re incredible! To react so quickly in such a short time! Thank goodness you were here! If I had dropped these things, my entire month¡¯s wages could have been docked!¡± ¡°Haha, no problem at all! Go find another tablecloth quickly, see, this one¡¯s all covered with spilled orange juice.¡± Xiao Yifei laughed, speaking to Zhao Rong. In his heart, he was also somewhat astonished by his own dexterity and responsiveness. Those sharply executed moves after a quick thought were something the old him wouldn¡¯t even dare imagine. This change could very well be associated with the ¡®Dragon Transformation Technique¡¯ he practiced every day! ¡°Young man, please move aside and let me change this tablecloth. I¡¯ll wash these cups later, refill them with orange juice, and everything will be fine. But this time, it¡¯s all thanks to you! Otherwise, I really would have been scolded!¡± Zhao Rong looked at Xiao Yifei with a face full of gratitude. As service workers, their biggest fear was making mistakes that would result in stern rebukes from their supervisor, not only criticism but also deductions from their pay. ¡°Haha, as long as no one is hurt. I saw you fall just now, are you okay?¡± Xiao Yifei stepped aside to let Zhao Rong pick the glasses out of the tablecloth, as he asked. ¡°It¡¯s nothing! Just a fall! These are small matters! These cups are worth much more than I am!¡± Zhao Rong replied with an earnest smile, her face etched with the hardships of life. She reached out to start cleaning up the tablecloth. ¡°Let me help you clean up.¡± Xiao Yifei extended his hand to help Zhao Rong tidy up. While Xiao Yifei was busily helping Zhao Rong, guests for the charity event had begun to arrive one after another. Outside the main hall of the event, a plump figure was descending from the passenger side of an Audi A6 with some difficulty. However, as soon as he got out, the chubby-faced figure hurried to the back of the car, opened the door, and assisted the person sitting in the back to get out. The plump figure was Wang Changping, and the man he was eagerly helping out of the car was Wu Shancong! They were also here to attend the charity event. In fact, Shangjing Hospital had also sent representatives to attend this charity event every time. However, the previous occasions were attended by the hospital¡¯s director, Fang Yuan. But since Fang Yuan was currently abroad on an inspection, Wu Shancong had volunteered to attend this time. After getting out of the car, Wu Shancong looked around with a haughty lift of his chin. It was his first time at this charity event, but relying on his status as the vice director of Shangjing Hospital, he appeared exceptionally proud. Chapter 61 - 61 61 Stirring Up Trouble ?61: Chapter 61: Stirring Up Trouble 61: Chapter 61: Stirring Up Trouble ¡°This place isn¡¯t bad!¡± Wu Shancong looked around ¡®Zhaohuang Palace¡¯ and arrogantly nodded, ¡°Had I known, I would have come earlier! To think such a great place wasn¡¯t shared with me!¡± Wang Changping offered a flattering smile from the side, ¡°Exactly! We should have invited Director Wu long ago. Director Fang Yuan really isn¡¯t tactful, always attending by himself!¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Wu Shancong let out a disdainful snort from his nose, evidently quite dissatisfied with Fang Yuan who had always been a thorn in his side. ¡°This Fang Yuan has been overshadowing me for almost ten years now! He still hasn¡¯t stepped down, blocking my path to wealth! Now even Nangong Yun has come out to irritate me!¡± Wu Shancong grew very angry thinking about this matter, and upon thinking of Nangong Yun, he remembered Xiao Yifei as well. ¡°And that Xiao Yifei! Last time, he caused me such a huge financial loss! My debts just keep growing! I must find an opportunity to get rid of him!¡± Wu Shancong clenched his teeth in hatred, truly infuriated by the loss at Jiang Mingquan¡¯s house, which had only added insult to injury. ¡°Director Wu, stop thinking about these unhappy things! We¡¯ve finally come out today, we should enjoy ourselves!¡± Wang Changping¡¯s chubby face was all smiles as he jovially spoke to Wu Shancong. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Wu Shancong held his head high, striding into the reception hall, and upon arriving, his eyes found many familiar faces. ¡°Oh! Vice Director Qian! You¡¯re here too! Hahaha, why! Does your hospital also need donations?¡± ¡°Doctor Li! Doctor Li, it¡¯s been so long since we last met! Two or three years, right? Didn¡¯t think we¡¯d meet today! That¡¯s really nice!¡± ¡°Director Wu! You haven¡¯t changed much after all these years!¡± ¡°Oh! Little Xu! You¡¯re here too! Hahaha, are you still here for that old problem of yours?¡± Wu Shancong, spirited and buoyant, stood in the reception hall bantering cheerfully with these doctors he knew, with Wang Changping smiling loyally by his side, his admiration for Wu Shancong deepening. ¡°This is networking! I hadn¡¯t realized not only is Vice Director Wu skilled in strategizing, but his connections are also so extensive! Truly an impressive figure!¡± Wang Changping was impressed, grateful he had come to the reception with Wu Shancong. Not only did he gain exposure, but he was also able to get closer to Vice Director Wu. With someone like Vice Director Wu helping him, his own promotions could come easily! Thinking this, a broad smile broke out on Wang Changping¡¯s plump face! While Wu Shancong was merrily chatting with everyone, Xiao Yifei was quietly helping Zhao Rong pour orange juice into the prepared cups. ¡°Young man! You¡¯re really kind! Thank you so much!¡± Zhao Rong was genuinely grateful to this tall and handsome young man. ¡°No problem! It¡¯s nothing!¡± Xiao Yifei smiled lightly. ¡°Young man! Are you here looking for your relatives? Tell me! I know all the waitstaff and supervisors here! Just say it! I guarantee I can help you find them!¡± Zhao Rong looked up at Xiao Yifei and proudly tapped her chest as she spoke. ¡°Oh?¡± Xiao Yifei found Zhao Rong, the elder sister, not only honest but also quite interesting, ¡°How so? How do you know I¡¯m here to find relatives and not to attend the reception?¡± Xiao Yifei looked at Zhao Rong with interest. ¡°Hey! Isn¡¯t it obvious? Look at these rich folks attending the reception, which one of them isn¡¯t dressed in fancy, bright clothing? You, dressed in casual clothes, of course aren¡¯t here for the reception!¡± Zhao Rong grinned widely, ¡°Besides, you managed to get through the club¡¯s doors, which means you know someone inside! It¡¯s either relatives or friends, right? Is your phone out of charge? Can¡¯t find them?¡± Xiao Yifei laughed heartily, ¡°Big sister! You¡¯re actually wrong this time! I am here to attend the reception!¡± ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± Zhao Rong eyed Xiao Yifei suspiciously, still half-believing, because in her view, this tall, handsome but simply dressed young man didn¡¯t resemble the glamorous, successful people typically at the reception. ¡°Young man! You should know, those who can attend this reception are no ordinary people!¡± Zhao Rong reminded Xiao Yifei from the side, still somewhat disbelieving. Xiao Yifei smiled but did not reply to Zhao Rong¡¯s words. Instead, he turned his gaze toward the front of the main hall. The main hall of the evening party was a square space with a variety of exquisite food and beverages placed along one wall. Directly in front of the hall was an elevated platform with a microphone and some decorations on it, and below was a dance floor where most of the guests were gathered. ¡°It seems that the people attending this party are all either rich or noble!¡± Xiao Yifei silently thought to himself, ¡°I wonder when Jiang Mingquan and the ¡®Scorpion¡¯ will arrive!¡± ¡°Big sister! How long have you been here?¡± Finding himself with nothing else to do, Xiao Yifei started making small talk with Zhao Rong again. While Xiao Yifei and Zhao Rong were chatting happily in a corner, Wang Changping was busily attending to Wu Shancong: ¡°Director Wu! Would you like a drink? I¡¯ll get you one!¡± Wu Shancong rolled his eyes and gave Wang Changping a disdainful look, somewhat annoyed that Wang had interrupted his conversation with Xu Hao. ¡°Go ahead, go! Get me a glass of red wine, and get a juice for Mr. Xu next to me, he can¡¯t drink alcohol!¡± Wu Shancong waved his hand impatiently. ¡°Haha, Director Wu, your hospital¡¯s doctors are really obedient!¡± Standing next to Wu Shancong, Xu Hao watched Wang Changping obediently go to get the drinks and laughed heartily. Xu Hao came from a wealthy family, a second-generation rich kid. As Xu Hao¡¯s father had him late in life, he was extremely indulgent towards Xu Hao, which led to Xu Hao¡¯s reckless and arrogant character. Involved in all sorts of vices, Xu Hao had already ruined his health. Too embarrassed to seek treatment at a hospital, Xu Hao met Wu Shancong through others and received some assistance from him. The two, similar in their foul ways, quickly became close and formed an age-defying friendship. ¡°I heard that this charity event is different than usual. It seems that the organizers are going to announce something. I wonder what they¡¯re going to say!¡± Xu Hao and Wu Shancong chatted. ¡°By the way, Director Wu, what was the name of that doctor you mentioned last time at your hospital? You told me, but I was too drunk that day and forgot!¡± Xu Hao suddenly remembered what Wu Shancong had entrusted him with a few days ago and asked. A vicious look flashed in Wu Shancong¡¯s eyes: ¡°I was wondering why he¡¯s still hopping around the hospital these days. It turns out Mr. Xu, you forgot about that matter! There are people in the hospital protecting him; I can¡¯t touch him openly. I still need your help, Mr. Xu!¡± ¡°No big deal! Just say the word, how do you want him to die! I was wondering who dares to oppose you on your turf at Shangjing Hospital, Director Wu!¡± A malicious expression appeared on Xu Hao¡¯s face as he coldly said, ¡°Director Wu, would you please repeat his name?¡± Just as Wu Shancong was about to reveal Xiao Yifei¡¯s name, he suddenly saw Wang Changping hurrying back, empty-handed, with no drinks in sight. ¡°What happened!¡± Wu Shancong frowned, slightly angry as he spoke to Wang Changping. ¡°Director Wu! Guess who I just saw!¡± Wang Changping spoke in a mysteriously low voice. ¡°Who is it?¡± Wu Shancong¡¯s face was solemn. Wang Changping pointed with his plump finger, and Wu Shancong followed the direction of his finger. Xiao Yifei was standing in the corner, happily chatting with a woman dressed as a waitress. ¡°Xiao Yifei! How did this little bastard get here!¡± Wu Shancong¡¯s eyes darkened, and his expression cooled. ¡°Director Wu, what¡¯s wrong? Did something happen?¡± Xu Hao noticed Wu Shancong¡¯s sudden change of expression and bluntly asked. With a grim look toward Xiao Yifei¡¯s direction, Wu Shancong coldly said, ¡°Mr. Xu, weren¡¯t you asking me who had offended me? It¡¯s him, Xiao Yifei!¡± Wu Shancong gestured toward Xiao Yifei¡¯s direction with a tilt of his chin. Chapter 62 - 62 62 How Did You Get In ?62: Chapter 62 How Did You Get In 62: Chapter 62 How Did You Get In ¡°Haha! What a coincidence! Just talked about helping you, Director Wu, with this little issue, and the guy shows up. But Director Wu, does this Xiao Yifei have any background? He¡¯s even here, which must mean he has some connections, right? We wouldn¡¯t want things to get too big and out of hand.¡± Although Xu Hao is arrogant, he¡¯s not without brains. He fears crossing the wrong people, so before helping Wu Shancong, he wants to make sure he¡¯s got all the dirt on Xiao Yifei. ¡°Heh, him, have connections? What a joke!¡± Wu Shancong¡¯s face showed full disdain, ¡°It took him a year just to become a regular doctor, what kind of power could he possibly have?¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then how did he get into this gala?¡± Xu Hao stroked his chin, his eyes flickering as he watched Xiao Yifei. ¡°Young Master Xu, you can rest easy! This kid¡¯s been under my thumb for over a year, I¡¯ve bullied him miserably. If it wasn¡¯t for our hospital¡¯s vice president Nangong Yun helping him, he would¡¯ve been out on his ass a long time ago! You don¡¯t need to worry so much! Haven¡¯t you figured it out yet? Xiao Yifei must have sneaked in! Probably heard there was a medical gala and wanted to network with more people, had no other way but to sneak in!¡± Wang Changping finally found his chance to chime in, quickly saying, ¡°A person of your stature, Young Master Xu, playing around with a small fry like Xiao Yifei, isn¡¯t it as easy as pie for you?¡± He snorted coldly, spitting in the direction of Xiao Yifei, ¡°A nobody! What power could he have?¡± Xu Hao touched his chin and exposed a sinister grin, ¡°That President Nangong Yun of your hospital is quite the ice queen beauty! I¡¯d really love to pin her down!¡± But after a moment, he felt now wasn¡¯t the time for his lewd thoughts about Nangong Yun, turning his head back to Wu Shancong, ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯ll take care of this kid! We¡¯ll teach him a lesson today. Can¡¯t go too far at the gala, but after it¡¯s over, I¡¯ll hit him with something harsher!¡± Wu Shancong looked at Xiao Yifei with a cold, dark gaze, ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to thank Young Master Xu greatly!¡± ¡°Hehehe!¡± Xu Hao¡¯s face revealed an excited grin. He stood up and walked over to the manager in charge of arranging the gala¡¯s service, Zhu Ziqiang. Zhu Ziqiang, seeing Xu Hao come up to him, was momentarily stunned, then bent slightly towards Xu Hao, ¡°Good evening, Young Master Xu!¡± ¡°Good, good!¡± Xu Hao laughed, draping an arm around Zhu Ziqiang¡¯s shoulder and whispering a few words in his ear while pointing in Xiao Yifei¡¯s direction. ¡°You got it, Young Master Xu. Leave it to me!¡± Manager Zhu Ziqiang patted his chest proudly, his sharp-featured face alight with the honor of being able to act as Xu Hao¡¯s flunky. Xu Hao often came to ¡°Zhao Feng Palace,¡± so the staff there knew him well and were very familiar with the young scion¡¯s character. Xu Hao also held sway among these staff members. After Xu Hao finished instructing Zhu Ziqiang, he came back with a confident smile on his face, leaned on the table and said casually, ¡°Now, let¡¯s just sit back and enjoy the show!¡± Wu Shancong and his group huddled together, idly chatting, but their malicious gazes kept a watchful eye in Xiao Yifei¡¯s direction. Zhu Ziqiang strutted with head held high, making a beeline straight towards Xiao Yifei. ¡°Haha, Sister Zhao Rong, you seem to be working hard too!¡± Xiao Yifei was chatting amiably with Zhao Rong when suddenly, upon seeing a change in Zhao Rong¡¯s expression and her hurried rub of her hand, he followed her gaze behind him, her face showing a panicky smile, ¡°Manager... Manager Zhu!¡± Xiao Yifei turned around and saw Zhu Ziqiang standing behind him with an overbearing presence. ¡°Hmm,¡± Zhu Ziqiang uttered a disdainful response through his nose, then looking down at Zhao Rong with his nostrils flared, he said, ¡°Old Zhao, who is this man next to you? Who let him in?¡± Xiao Yifei frowned upon seeing Zhu Ziqiang¡¯s posture, sensing that Zhu Ziqiang¡¯s attitude was somewhat off. ¡°Manager Zhu, is it? I¡¯m here to attend this evening¡¯s party,¡± Xiao Yifei said, stepping forward before Zhao Rong to speak to Zhu Ziqiang, intending not to embarrass her. However, Zhu Ziqiang merely glanced at Xiao Yifei with disdain and said, ¡°Did I speak to you? Is it your place to talk?¡± Zhu Ziqiang then harshly said to Zhao Rong, ¡°Old Zhao, I¡¯m asking you, who is this kid really? How did he get in here? Speak up! Is this brat sneaking in here?! Think carefully before you speak! Do you still want your salary?¡± Zhao Rong shuddered at Zhu Ziqiang¡¯s sudden outburst, her neck shrinking back as she cautiously looked up at Zhu Ziqiang. She couldn¡¯t understand why the usually mean manager was giving her such a hard time. Yet, she discerned the implication in Zhu Ziqiang¡¯s words¡ªthey were meant to make her admit that Xiao Yifei had sneaked in. Zhao Rong timidly looked towards Xiao Yifei. ¡°I... I...¡± A woman in her fifties was left at a loss for words by Zhu Ziqiang¡¯s harsh scolding. ¡°What do you mean ¡®you¡¯!¡± Zhu Ziqiang¡¯s eyes widened as he berated Zhao Rong, ¡°You can¡¯t even speak properly, how do you work at ¡®Zhao Feng Palace¡¯? With your incompetence! I¡¯ll fire you sooner or later! Just a lowly waitress! If it were not for your long service here, I would have fired you already! Speak up! Did this kid sneak in on his own?!¡± Xiao Yifei could no longer bear it as he saw Zhu Ziqiang scolding Zhao Rong; she was a good person and very honest, so what gave Zhu Ziqiang the right to be so overbearing and intimidating? ¡°Can¡¯t you speak properly? You¡¯re not very old; Zhao¡¯s age is nearly enough to be your mother, right? Do you talk to your mother like this at home?¡± Xiao Yifei frowned, his tone filled with dissatisfaction as he couldn¡¯t stand Zhu Ziqiang¡¯s bullying behavior. ¡°Did I speak to you? When is it your turn to butt in? Where do you come from? I¡¯ll find out where you came from and then come teach you a lesson!¡± Zhu Ziqiang raised an eyebrow and mockingly said to Xiao Yifei, ¡°I have no idea how this bastard got in here! Don¡¯t even think about it! Is this the kind of party you think you can attend? Still trying to sneak in! Do you even qualify?¡± Zhao Rong, seeing Xiao Yifei being insulted by Zhu Ziqiang, suddenly felt a surge of anger and impulsively stepped in front of Zhu Ziqiang, ¡°Manager Zhu! Mr. Xiao didn¡¯t sneak in by himself! He already told me! He is here for the party! You can¡¯t disrespect a guest like this!¡± Zhao Rong¡¯s unexpected stand took Zhu Ziqiang by surprise, but after hearing what she said, Zhu Ziqiang suddenly stopped. A sly smile played on his lips, though only the anger in his eyes revealed that he was furious. He slowly said, ¡°Sister Zhao, it seems you¡¯ve indeed been working here for quite a while, even daring to talk back to me! You must be in cahoots with this unidentified person!¡± Zhu Ziqiang turned his gaze to Xiao Yifei and, with anger brewing, said, ¡°If you want to prove that you are here for the party, sure, show me your invitation. If you don¡¯t have an invitation...¡± He paused, then with a sinister smile, continued, ¡°Then don¡¯t blame me for not being polite!¡± Chapter 63 - 63 63 Unusually Calm ?63: Chapter 63: Unusually Calm 63: Chapter 63: Unusually Calm At this moment, the argument between Zhu Ziqiang, Xiao Yifei, and Zhao Rong had already drawn the attention of the guests at the party. ¡°Show me your invitation! Just prove you have an invitation, and I will shut up immediately!¡± Zhu Ziqiang arrogantly looked at Sun Li and shouted. ¡°I bet it was you two who colluded to sneak this guy in! I don¡¯t care what kind of schemes you two have in mind! If you can¡¯t produce an invitation today!¡± Zhu Ziqiang yelled viciously toward the outside, ¡°Security! What are you all doing? How did you let unauthorized personnel get in? Get over here!¡± Upon hearing this, the security guards from outside rushed over, and more than a dozen security officers dressed in uniform, holding batons, immediately took a position behind Zhu Ziqiang, eyeing Xiao Yifei and Zhao Rong with a predatory gaze. The commotion escalated, and the distinguished guests present at the event began to understand the situation. ¡°What¡¯s with people these days? Everyone¡¯s sharpening their heads to climb into high society. Isn¡¯t that just utterly shameless?¡± Seeing the timing as about right, Xu Hao took the lead and started setting the tone. ¡°Exactly! What¡¯s with this bunch? Can¡¯t they see themselves for what they are? Do they really think that sneaking into a party will let them rub shoulders with high-profile figures? They spend their days not focusing on working hard but on trying to get rich through crooked paths¡ªdisgusting!¡± Qian Juanjuan frowned deeply, full of disdain, and said to Xu Hui in a coquettish tone, ¡°This young man is truly revolting! Such a waste of a good appearance. Why are people like this nowadays!¡± Qian Juanjuan was Xu Hao¡¯s date, a minor celebrity he had recently hooked up with. She said sourly, ¡°If it were this easy to attend this charity event, then I wouldn¡¯t have bothered coming! It¡¯s really low-class!¡± Hearing Qian Juanjuan¡¯s words, Xu Hao sneered and slapped her butt hard, causing her silicone-filled chest to shake erratically. ¡°You little vixen, what are you being sour about? Not coming anymore? Didn¡¯t you spend all that effort to play with me for so many days, all to get a chance to show your face at this event!¡± ¡°Stop it!¡± Qian Juanjuan giggled flirtatiously and gave Xu Hao a sultry glance, ¡°I just can¡¯t stand these little opportunists!¡± ¡°Sigh, young people these days, really willing to do anything to get ahead! If this young man hadn¡¯t been caught, who knows, maybe he would have tried to engineer some ¡®coincidence¡¯ to meet us later, even bribing insiders to cover for him. Such effort he goes to!¡± Li Weixing looked at Xiao Yifei and shook his head, finding Xiao Yifei¡¯s actions utterly contemptible. Li Weixing was a well-known chief physician from Yanjing Concord Hospital, representing the institution at the event. ¡°Absolutely! Such opportunistic scoundrels! They should be beaten up and thrown out!¡± Wu Shancong¡¯s mouth was almost splitting to the back of his head with joy; nearly everyone present was filled with disgust for Xiao Yifei. He knew that if he spread the word that Xiao Yifei was a doctor at Shangjing Hospital at this moment, everyone would surely have an even worse impression of him. Once the news got out, Wu Shancong didn¡¯t have to think about it; Xiao Yifei would surely become infamous throughout the entire Yanjing medical community. This move would completely sever Xiao Yifei¡¯s path as a doctor! Wu Shancong gave Wang Changping a knowing look, and Wang, understanding, nodded and waddled his chubby body towards Xiao Yifei. Just as Wang Changping was making his way toward Xiao Yifei, at the side of the banquet hall, a woman wearing a mask frowned as she watched the direction where the commotion was unfolding. ¡°What¡¯s going on here? That young man doesn¡¯t look like a swindler to me.¡± The woman in the mask, though her face was not visible, had a sexy and enchanting figure. She spoke in a crisp and melodious voice, suggesting that the face behind the mask must also be exceptionally beautiful. Looking closer, it turned out to be the mysterious woman who had gone to Shangjing Hospital to look for Xiao Yifei but to no avail. Standing behind her was still the man with an imposing aura as sharp as a sword. ¡°Miss, let¡¯s not get involved in this matter! Remember why we are here. It¡¯s for your illness. It¡¯s better not to meddle in extra affairs. Besides, who can tell if a person is good or bad just by their appearance? Maybe this youngster really is a petty person seeking gains without working for them?¡± Hong Fan was somewhat helpless as he whispered to the woman in the mask, ¡°Miss, it wasn¡¯t easy for me to sneak you out from the Tan Family to seek medical treatment. Please don¡¯t make things difficult for me. We need to keep a low profile!¡± ¡°Hmph, Hong Fan, are you not listening to me now?¡± Tan Yunjing glared at Hong Fan and spoke, ¡°Regardless of whether this young man is really as they say, we can¡¯t let him become the target of a thousand fingers pointing at him. I told you to go, so just go and help him out of this siege. We¡¯ll discuss any issues later.¡± ¡°Alright then.¡± Hong Fan drooped his head in sullen acceptance and strode toward Xiao Yifei. As he walked, he muttered, ¡°The Miss is just too kind-hearted, so easily deceived by people!¡± With his long legs, Hong Fan arrived before Wang Changping and, with a wave of his hand, he parted the group of security guards and made his way to Xiao Yifei¡¯s side. As Hong Fan made his way into the crowd by pushing the security guards aside, Zhu Ziqiang felt displeased. He was about to scold the intruder when he saw the muscular and imposing Hong Fan, and so Zhu retracted his neck and chose not to speak. ¡°Hey! What are you guys crowding around him for? Do you really want him to pull out an invitation? He can¡¯t pull it out! Because he came in with me. Here¡¯s my invitation; take a look!¡± Hong Fan cocked his head, nonchalantly tossing his own invitation to Zhu Ziqiang, before approaching Xiao Yifei and casually slapping him on the back of the head, ¡°Kid! Look at you, running around and getting caught! Isn¡¯t this embarrassing?¡± Hong Fan¡¯s inner dissatisfaction was focused on that slap, using no small amount of force; partly to vent, and partly because he found Xiao Yifei quite disagreeable. Unexpectedly, the moment Hong Fan¡¯s hand swung forward, Xiao Yifei suddenly reached out his hand and caught Hong Fan¡¯s wrist with calm composure. ¡°Brother! I appreciate your help, but I don¡¯t like to deceive people. I didn¡¯t come with you; no means no. I admit I indeed do not have an invitation.¡± Xiao Yifei tilted his head, gazing indifferently at Hong Fan. Chapter 64 - 64 64 A Bunch of Clowns ?64: Chapter 64 A Bunch of Clowns 64: Chapter 64 A Bunch of Clowns Xiao Yi¡¯s reaction left Hong Fan somewhat shocked. Others might not know his own capabilities, but he was acutely aware of them. As a retired special forces soldier who had earned the title of ace commando in the army, and someone who practiced external-style boxing, his causal slap was also a deliberate one, and yet, this seemingly frail young man easily blocked it. Not only did he block it, but he also grabbed Hong Fan¡¯s wrist! This was somewhat inconceivable for Hong Fan. Hong Fan tried to pull his hand away from Xiao Yi¡¯s grasp, only to discover that Xiao Yi¡¯s hands, slender and with distinct knuckles that seemed frail, held his own wrist as firmly as iron pincers, leaving him unable to break free for a moment. This surprise left Hong Fan even more astonished. Could it be that he had lost his edge due to a lack of real combat experience for an extended period? ¡°Kid!¡± Hong Fan was puzzled internally, but he didn¡¯t show it. Remembering the task Tan Yunjing had assigned to him, he opened his mouth with some reluctance to remind Xiao Yi, ¡°A wise man submits to the circumstances. Kid, at this point, there¡¯s no need to pretend. Just come with us, there¡¯s no need to put on a brave front!¡± Xiao Yi tilted his head and finally recognized that Hong Fan was the man who had accompanied Tan Yunjing to the hospital. After judging that Hong Fan had no ill intent, Xiao Yi let go of Hong Fan¡¯s wrist with a slight smile, ¡°Thanks, brother, for standing up for me, but I truly didn¡¯t come with you, and I have to admit that!¡± Hong Fan, seeing that Xiao Yi remained ungrateful despite his good intentions to help, became a bit angry. He said to Xiao Yi, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for our Miss, who would want to help you? And stop with the ¡®brother¡¯ talk, who¡¯s your brother?¡± After speaking, Hong Fan reached out and snatched back the invitation that he had thrown into Zhu Ziqiang¡¯s arms, turning his head to look at Xiao Yi, ¡°If you¡¯re seeking death, don¡¯t blame others for not offering help!¡± After speaking, Hong Fan left nonchalantly, and upon returning to Tan Yunjing¡¯s side, he shrugged helplessly, indicating that there was nothing he could do if Xiao Yi refused to accept help. Tan Yunjing frowned as she looked at Xiao Yi, unsure of how he would handle the situation. It was only after Hong Fan left that Zhu Ziqiang dared to continue speaking. He had been afraid that Xiao Yi might suddenly follow along with what Hong Fan suggested, which would have spoiled the task Xu Hao, Young Master Xu, had entrusted to him. ¡°Haha, I didn¡¯t expect you, kid, to be not only a sinister scammer but also not the sharpest tool in the shed! You have people clearing your name for you and you don¡¯t even admit it. You¡¯ve said it yourself just now, you don¡¯t have an invitation, so don¡¯t blame me for not being nice to you next!¡± Zhu Ziqiang said sinisterly. Just at that moment, Wang Changping suddenly arrived beside Zhu Ziqiang and coldly said, ¡°Of course he doesn¡¯t have an invitation! If he dared to admit he had an invitation, that would be the joke of the century. How could an emergency department doctor from Shangjing Hospital possibly receive an invitation? If he could represent our Shangjing Hospital, then where would we put our Dean Wu? Isn¡¯t that right, Doctor Xiao Yi!¡± ¡°What? He¡¯s actually a doctor? For a doctor to do something like this is rather unethical!¡± After hearing Wang Changping¡¯s words, Qian Juanjuan covered her mouth exaggeratedly and said with feigned shock, ¡°A mere doctor with such scheming thoughts, focusing his mind on networking with big shots rather than his medical skill, how could he be proficient?¡± ¡°Sigh! Why can¡¯t the youth of today just settle down and study diligently? They¡¯re so eager to climb up the ladder, which hospital would dare hire you in the future?¡± The other guests at the conference even shook their heads, clearly disdainful of Xiao Yi¡¯s behavior. ¡°Who would have thought our hospital would have a doctor with no medical ethics! That¡¯s indeed a huge oversight on our part!¡± Wu Shancong, seeing the opportunity was ripe, also hurried over and stood next to Wang Changping, lamenting grievously, ¡°This is a dereliction of my duty!¡± ¡°Why keep such a doctor? Better to fire him early rather than let him tarnish the hospital¡¯s reputation, right? Really, Dean Wu, you¡¯re just too soft-hearted!¡± Xu Hao wore a spiteful smile on his face as he hypocritically said to Wu Shancong, admiring his own cunning ploy immensely. Three people¡¯s theatric behavior jolted Xiao Yifei into a harsh realization of the stark truth¡ªhe hadn¡¯t expected to run into Wu Shancong here, but the undeniable truth was that they were out to get him. However, he couldn¡¯t help but wonder who was that pale-faced, emaciated young man. Xiao Yifei remained calm and composed, eyeing Xu Hao with some confusion. ¡°Alright, Xiao Yi! I¡¯ll give you a chance, just apologize to everyone now and I won¡¯t hold it against you. Let¡¯s just say our Shangjing Hospital brought an extra person to this evening¡¯s event,¡± Wu Shancong said, with a fake smile plastered on his face as he spoke to Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei looked at Wu Shancong and his entourage performing like clowns and couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°You¡¯re laughing! What¡¯s so funny! I said you definitely weren¡¯t invited to the meeting, right! You just had to show off! If you had admitted earlier that you came to find relatives, it would have been so much better! Now look at the trouble you¡¯ve caused, not just for yourself, but for me too. What are we going to do now!¡± Sister Zhao Rong pulled at Xiao Yifei¡¯s sleeve and complained. ¡°It¡¯s alright, big sister, don¡¯t worry!¡± Xiao Yifei gave Zhao Rong a reassuring look, then leaned against the wall, silently observing the group of people in front of him with an indifferent gaze. ¡°You know, when you make a mistake, you should admit it! Why aren¡¯t you admitting it! You¡¯re still young! It¡¯s okay to make mistakes!¡± Wu Shancong continued to offer his insincere advice to Xiao Yifei. At that moment, Xu Hao gave Zhu Ziqiang a knowing look, and understanding the signal, Zhu Ziqiang took a step forward: ¡°Director Wu, enough talking! It seems like this young doctor from your hospital is rotten to the core, and he needs to be taught a lesson right now!¡± As he spoke, Zhu Ziqiang rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Xiao Yifei. However, Xiao Yifei showed no reaction, calmly watching Zhu Ziqiang come closer, his serene expression making Zhu Ziqiang feel somewhat uneasy, and with a lack of confidence, Zhu Ziqiang said to Xiao Yifei, ¡°I¡¯m asking you again! Do you have an invitation?¡± Xiao Yifei smiled and shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t have an invitation, but I was indeed invited. However, I suppose you won¡¯t believe me if I tell you.¡± ¡°You say you were invited, then who invited you!¡± Zhu Ziqiang hesitated because he knew that once he made a move, there would be no turning back. It was then, Qian Juanjuan, Xu Hao¡¯s companion, suddenly burst out laughing coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t let him intimidate you! When I came in, I even saw him helping to tidy the tables! He must have disguised himself as a waiter to sneak in!¡± Chapter 65 - 65 65 Hitting the Iron Plate ?65: Chapter 65 Hitting the Iron Plate 65: Chapter 65 Hitting the Iron Plate Hearing Qian Juanjuan¡¯s words, Zhu Ziqiang finally felt reassured. He walked towards Xiao Yifei with a vicious expression on his face, ¡°So your name is Xiao Yifei, right? An emergency doctor from Shangjing Hospital? You really shame your hospital! It seems if I don¡¯t take action, you little bastard truly won¡¯t take the ¡®Flaming Palace¡¯ security seriously!¡± Tan Yunjing suddenly heard the name Xiao Yifei, and found it somewhat familiar. As she tried to recall where she had heard the name, Hong Fan¡¯s eyes lit up. He looked at Tan Yunjing and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t Xiao Yifei the doctor in Yanjing¡¯s hospital emergency department who has the title of ¡®Divine Doctor¡¯? We went there that day but couldn¡¯t get an appointment with him, and you, miss, said we would go some other time¡ªthe one we¡¯re talking about!¡± Tan Yunjing finally remembered. She sighed with some disappointment, and looking at Hong Fan, said, ¡°Hong Fan, it seems you were right after all. Xiao Yifei really isn¡¯t a good person! Just now I thought he didn¡¯t accept your help because he was truly invited here, but who would¡¯ve thought!¡± Hong Fan, proud and smug, lifted his head and said to Tan Yunjing, ¡°Miss, I¡¯ve told you before, although I¡¯m a bit simple-minded, I¡¯m very accurate when it comes to judging people!¡± Just as Zhu Ziqiang, with a sinister smile, was about to reach Xiao Yifei, suddenly a cold voice came through. ¡°What are you doing!¡± Everyone turned to look, and saw a figure in a red body-hugging gown appear at the entrance of the hall. The tall figure was perfectly outlined by the fitted gown, especially at the front of the red dress that the designer had intentionally left with a hollowed-out lace mesh, hinting at the fullness beneath and creating a tantalising illusion. The round and lifted buttocks pushed up the hem of the dress, creating a perfect curve¡ªit was none other than Scorpion! Scorpion clearly wasn¡¯t accustomed to wearing this dress, thus her walk looked somewhat awkward. At this moment, Scorpion¡¯s face was filled with frost, her gaze icy cold to the extreme, as she headed straight for Zhu Ziqiang. Seeing Scorpion¡¯s arrival, even Xu Hao, a second-generation rich playboy, hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to take a second glance at Scorpion in such a sexy outfit for the first time, because he knew how terrifying Scorpion was! ¡°Who is this woman! What makes her so arrogant! Who does she think she is!¡± Qian Juanjuan watched Scorpion and sneered. She turned her head to look at Xu Hao and found him lowering his head. She felt contemptuous of Xu Hao and mocked, ¡°Young Master Xu, what are you doing? How did one woman scare you like this! Don¡¯t you like beautiful women the most?¡± Xu Hao suddenly looked up and slapped Qian Juanjuan across the face. He ground out between his teeth, ¡°If you want to die, keep talking! Haven¡¯t you heard of a woman called Scorpion in Shangjing?¡± ¡°Scorpion?¡± Qian Juanjuan covered her face, then suddenly seemed to realize something, forgetting even her reddening cheeks as she remembered the rumors about Scorpion that circulated in the Yanjing underworld. Her face turned pale: ¡°Could it be that Scorpion is involved with our party tonight? Is this woman Scorpion?¡± Qian Juanjuan quickly lowered her head, her face ashen as she fell silent. ¡°Sci... Sister Scorpion!¡± The moment Zhu Ziqiang saw Scorpion, his face changed, a foreboding feeling washing over him. He turned his head and saw Xiao Yifei against the wall, wearing a smile that wasn¡¯t quite a smile, and his heart sank. He forced a smile and said, ¡°Sister Scorpion, you¡¯re here!¡± Given Zhu Ziqiang¡¯s status, he couldn¡¯t even catch Scorpion¡¯s eye. Seeing her charging over furiously, his legs trembled, praying to himself that whatever had angered Scorpion had nothing to do with Xiao Yifei. But Zhu Ziqiang¡¯s prayers were of no use; Scorpion completely ignored him and walked past him, right up to Xiao Yifei. ¡°Mr. Xiao! I¡¯m sorry I¡¯m late!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect my people to be so thoughtless as to cause such a mess!¡± Scorpion understood etiquette; regardless of her previous conflicts with Xiao Yifei, she knew what to say in any setting. She bowed deeply to Xiao Yifei with an apology. ¡°I truly apologize for the inconvenience, Mr. Xiao!¡± Just as Scorpion was sincerely apologizing to Xiao Yifei, the entire hall suddenly fell silent! ¡°Xiao Yifei is actually a high-status guest invited by Scorpion!¡± Xu Hao was the first to react. He trembled with fright, his legs shaking uncontrollably, at a loss for what to do. ¡°What on earth is going on? What is Xiao Yifei up to!¡± Wang Changping couldn¡¯t figure out what was happening, unaware of the situation, he was curious as to why everyone had suddenly become so quiet. However, Wu Shancong, who had a fresh memory of the scorpion who had destroyed his entire vehicle¡¯s medical equipment, saw the scorpion treating Xiao Yifei with such respect and a dreadful idea suddenly rose in his mind! ¡°Could it be...!¡± Indeed, what happened next confirmed Wu Shancong¡¯s fears. One saw Xiao Yifei smile lightly, reaching out his hand to pull up the bowing scorpion, and he casually said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, you guys, at least give me an invitation if you¡¯re going to put me here! Otherwise, look how awkward this has become, everyone is suspecting that I sneaked in!¡± ¡°I¡¯m really sorry! Since we were hosting this event, we thought it wouldn¡¯t be an issue for Mr. Xiao to come. It was my oversight!¡± The scorpion¡¯s face showed an apologetic expression as she spoke. ¡°Haha, so you guys are the organizers! You should¡¯ve said so earlier, then I wouldn¡¯t have worried about causing you trouble!¡± Xiao Lixian said with a laugh, but his tone turned suddenly cold when his eyes swept over Zhu Ziqiang, ¡°Everything else is fine, but this manager Zhu Ziqiang seems to have something against me, it looks like he¡¯s been targeting me all this time.¡± Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziqiang trembled, barely able to stand. He forced a smile at the scorpion and said, ¡°Sister Scorpion, this is all a misunderstanding, let me explain!¡± ¡°No need to explain!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say anything, leave now, immediately, this instant!¡± When Zhu Ziqiang heard the scorpion¡¯s words, he collapsed on the ground. He had used so many means to finally achieve the position of a manager with great difficulty, only for it to be lost because of a single remark from Xiao Yifei. But that was not the end. The scorpion turned her head, her voice cold as she shouted to a group of security guards holding electric batons, ¡°What did he want to do to Mr. Xiao just now? Take him out now and repay him tenfold!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The security guards responded in unison, immediately taking Zhu Ziqiang into custody and marching him toward the exit. ¡°No, please! Sister Scorpion! I was wrong! I¡¯m blind for not recognizing Mount Tai! I¡¯m really sorry! Please forgive me!¡± Zhu Ziqiang, as the logistics manager of ¡®Phoenix Court,¡¯ naturally knew about the type of business the enigmatic owner Jiang Mingquan had started and was familiar with their methods. Now, being taken away by the security guards, he was filled with panic and screamed, ¡°Young Master Xu! This was all your instruction! You have to help me! Please, help me!¡± Xu Hao shuddered upon hearing Zhu Ziqiang¡¯s words. Looking guiltily at the scorpion, he hastened to defend himself, ¡°I knew nothing about this! Don¡¯t misunderstand me, Scorpion!¡± Xiao Yifei glanced at Xu Hao, smiled slightly, then patted the stunned, wide-eyed Zhao Rong standing behind him and said, ¡°See, Zhao Da Jie, I told you it was nothing. You should believe me!¡± Then, Xiao Yifei turned to Zhao Rong and said, ¡°From today on, Sister Zhao, you¡¯re the manager, taking over Zhu Ziqiang¡¯s position.¡± Xiao Yifei looked towards the scorpion and said indifferently, ¡°How about that? Is what I said fine?¡± The scorpion nodded her head, ¡°Whatever Mr. Xiao says goes!¡± Zhao Rong was stunned by the sudden turn of events, her joy overwhelming her. She stared dumbfounded at Xiao Yifei, unable to believe that what was happening before her eyes was real! Chapter 66 - 66 66 Boasting Doesnt Get Taxed ?66: Chapter 66 Boasting Doesn¡¯t Get Taxed 66: Chapter 66 Boasting Doesn¡¯t Get Taxed Zhao Rong was completely stunned, standing dumbfounded on the spot, unable to grasp the situation for a long time. How had the circumstances suddenly reversed in front of her eyes! One should know that was a manager position! Not just a manager in the simple sense, but the one responsible for the entire logistics of the ¡°Zhao Feng Palace.¡± And such an important position had so easily landed on her own head? Who exactly was this handsome young man and how could he possess such terrifying energy! With just one statement, he had easily stripped her direct superior of his position! Just one statement! And she could become the new logistics manager? Zhao Rong had lived for over fifty years and never dared to imagine such an event would happen to her. She pinched herself hard, and only when the sharp pain came did Zhao Rong confirm she was not dreaming. If she could really be promoted to manager as Xiao Yifei said, then she wouldn¡¯t need to borrow money for her daughter¡¯s college tuition anymore! She could finally buy new clothes for herself and her husband! It turned out that good people really do get rewarded! Zhao Rong¡¯s eyes slowly reddened, and she looked at Xiao Yifei, feeling extremely grateful to this mysterious young man! Everyone present who knew the details about the Scorpion were shocked by Scorpion¡¯s respectful behavior towards Xiao Yifei. That was the Scorpion! Rumored to be Jiang Mingquan¡¯s most capable assistant and most trusted foster daughter, and Scorpion¡¯s attitude towards Xiao Yifei made everyone suddenly curious about this young man whom they had previously underestimated! If Xiao Yifei was really a junior doctor in the emergency department of Shangjing Hospital as Wu Shancong said, then how could he possibly be respected so much by Scorpion! ¡°Mr. Xiao, the old gentleman will arrive shortly,¡± the Scorpion said. ¡°The old gentleman mentioned that his legs are not very convenient, and he asked if you could wait a moment.¡± The Scorpion¡¯s words undoubtedly dropped another bomb in the venue, causing an uproar just as it had begun to settle. ¡°What exactly is Xiao Yifei¡¯s background! He could even disturb the person behind Scorpion!¡± ¡°That¡¯s Jiang Mingquan! Not someone ordinary people could meet by just mentioning it. I¡¯ve attended three parties already, and this is the first time I heard Jiang Mingquan attended! This young man has great influence! To actually have Jiang Mingquan accompany him!¡± All eyes of those present were stuck on Xiao Yifei, shocked to their core. Even Tan Yunjing, who had been hiding in the back and initially wanted to just enjoy the spectacle, was shocked. Although the Tan family had far more influence than Jiang Mingquan, there really weren¡¯t many people who could impress Jiang Mingquan to show such respect! ¡°What exactly is this young man¡¯s background!¡± Hong Fan looked at Xiao Yifei with great surprise and doubt, touching his wrist that had just been shaken by Xiao Yifei, still faintly feeling pain: ¡°Is his true identity really just a simple doctor?¡± At this point, even Hong Fan dared not claim anymore that Xiao Yifei was the kind of little person who wanted something for nothing. Tan Yunjing¡¯s beautiful eyes kept thoughtfully gazing at Xiao Yifei, wondering about something. ¡°Okay, I got it!¡± Xiao Yifei said in an indifferent tone, as if Jiang Mingquan¡¯s respect for him was to him an ordinary occurrence. Then Xiao Yifei turned around, looked at the guests, and said, ¡°Now, no one here thinks I sneaked in anymore, right!¡± No one spoke; they did not dare speak anymore without understanding Xiao Yifei¡¯s background; they dared not say anything. Qian Juanjuan tightly held Xu Hao¡¯s hand, sweating from nervousness, and Xu Hao also looked at Xiao Yifei in terror, afraid that Xiao Yifei would settle scores with him the next second. However, at this moment, Wu Shancong and Wang Changping still had not grasped the situation. ¡°Kid! I¡¯m telling you! Look at how many seniors from our medical community have come this time! As just a junior resident doctor, you should show them the proper respect! There was indeed a misunderstanding just now! Who allowed you to speak to everyone with that tone?¡± Wu Shancong, believing himself to be Xiao Yifei¡¯s dean, senior in rank, and deeply experienced, saw everyone being intimidated by Xiao Yifei¡¯s presence and wanted to assert his own authority. ¡°Apologize! Apologize to the guests right now! Think about it! You, a mere doctor, what right do you have to speak to everyone with that attitude!¡± Wu Shancong, full of righteous indignation, stood tall, looking down at Xiao Yifei. Upon seeing Wu Shancong take the initiative to scold Xiao Yifei, Wang Changping quickly chimed in, ¡°Xiao Yifei! Don¡¯t be ungrateful! Do as Dean Wu says! Otherwise, I¡¯d like to see how you can continue to stay at Shangjing Hospital!¡± Wang Changping, trembling with his corpulent body, commanded authoritatively. The moment Wu Shancong spoke, everyone in the room looked at him as if he were a fool. It was everyone¡¯s first time encountering someone so oblivious to the situation. Xiao Yifei had a powerful background, yet Wu Shancong dared to treat him this way¡ªcould it be that Wu Shancong, as Xiao Yifei¡¯s hospital dean, had lost his mind? Xiao Yifei narrowed his eyes and said to Wu Shancong, ¡°Dean Wu, nobody said anything just now, and you and Director Wang kept slandering me. I didn¡¯t respond to that, and now you¡¯re slapping a big charge on me. What, are you trying to kill me?¡± Wu Shancong, hands behind his back, saw everyone¡¯s gaze shift toward him, feeling all the more certain of his own brilliance. Hearing Xiao Yifei¡¯s words, Wu Shancong scoffed and said, ¡°Xiao Yifei! I¡¯m telling you! Nobody knows where you come from! I, however, know very well. Weren¡¯t you just lucky? Clinging to Nangong Yun¡¯s coattails just barely got you officially appointed as a doctor within a year. As for why Miss Scorpio respects you, nobody knows, but I know very clearly!¡± Wu Shancong snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping from the bottom up over Xiao Yifei, and said with a sneer, ¡°Aren¡¯t you just luckier?¡± Xiao Yifei was amused by Wu Shancong¡¯s behavior; this was his first time seeing such a foolish person: ¡°Dean Wu, I¡¯m starting to wonder if you¡¯re even sane. With your intelligence, how did you manage to become a deputy dean?¡± Hearing Xiao Yifei dare to insult him, Wu Shancong suddenly leaped up, furious, and said, ¡°You little bastard! You¡¯re really asking for it! Daring to insult me! No need to say anything more! From now on, you don¡¯t have to stay in Shangjing Hospital anymore. This time, I don¡¯t care who¡¯s protecting you. You¡¯re fired!¡± Xiao Yifei, tilting his head, looked at Wu Shancong, ¡°Is your brain okay? Can you just fire me like that?¡± Hearing this, Wu Shancong became even angrier, feeling that Xiao Yifei¡¯s words completely undermined his dignity, and he became more agitated, ¡°I¡¯m telling you! You little bastard! Don¡¯t think just because Miss Scorpio backs you, you can do whatever you want! Weren¡¯t you just luckier to have cured Mr. Jiang Mingquan¡¯s illness ahead of others? What¡¯s so great about that? Jiang Mingquan is a man of character and integrity, he respects you just because you cured his illness! Had I met Mr. Jiang Mingquan earlier, the one who cured his illness wouldn¡¯t have been you¡ªit would have been me!¡± As Wu Shancong spoke these words, the hall erupted once again! ¡°So it was Xiao Yifei who cured Jiang Mingquan¡¯s illness; no wonder Miss Scorpio respects Xiao Yifei so much! That makes sense now!¡± ¡°But I heard that Jiang Mingquan¡¯s condition was very severe, right on the brink of life and death! Xiao Yifei was able to cure Jiang Mingquan¡¯s illness? Is that really true?¡± The hall buzzed with discussions, casting surprised glances toward the handsome young man, given that everyone had vaguely heard that Jiang Mingquan¡¯s condition was not so simple! Xiao Yifei pulled up a chair, sat down with the chair back facing forward, rested his hands on the back of the chair, and looked at Wu Shancong calmly, ¡°What you mean is, it almost cost me half my life to cure the old man¡¯s illness, and you could easily have done the same?¡± Chapter 67 - 67 67 Boasting Shamelessly ?67: Chapter 67: Boasting Shamelessly 67: Chapter 67: Boasting Shamelessly Wu Shancong sneered coldly, looking down at Xiao Yifei, ¡°I don¡¯t know if I can easily cure the patient with a casual effort, but what I do know is that no matter what, I¡¯m much stronger than a rookie like you who has just become an official doctor!¡± ¡°Hold on!¡± Just at that moment, suddenly a voice rang out. ¡°What is it! Doctor Li, do you also think that Xiao Yifei this little bastard is too arrogant!¡± Wu Shancong was fiercely interrupted by Li Weixing, and he turned around to see Li Weixing slowly walking towards him. ¡°You little bastard! You see that! Even Doctor Li from Yanjing Union Hospital can¡¯t stand you anymore! And you¡¯re still smug about it! I really don¡¯t know whether you should be ashamed or not!¡± Wu Shancong was triumphant, he had made quite a name for himself today, and his reputation at Shangjing Hospital was sure to rise even higher. ¡°Haha! Old Li, what do you have to say?¡± Wu Shancong laughed as he walked up to meet the approaching Li Weixing. However, Wu Shancong¡¯s smile immediately froze on his face, because he realized that Li Weixing was not paying any attention to him, and walked straight past him towards Xiao Yifei! ¡°I felt that your name sounded incredibly familiar earlier, and now I finally remember! It¡¯s really you!¡± Li Weixing came to Xiao Yifei¡¯s side, and with a slightly excited tone amid everyone¡¯s surprised looks, he said, ¡°Hello, Dr. Xiao! I¡¯ve heard of your great reputation, I am Li Weixing from Yanjing Union Hospital!¡± Wu Shancong furrowed his brows, watching Li Weixing, ¡°Old Li! What are you doing! Why are you speaking so gently to this little bastard?¡± Li Weixing turned around, frowning at Zhao Fengyi, ¡°Deputy Director Zhao, I don¡¯t know what makes you so confident that you could cure Mr. Yuan¡¯s illness just like Dr. Sun did.¡± Pausing for a moment, Li Weixing continued, ¡°You haven¡¯t even understood the situation, how can you talk nonsense like that?¡± Wu Shancong was taken aback, exploding in anger, ¡°Li Weixing! Are you saying that I, a doctor with decades of experience, am not better than a rookie who just became an official doctor! Li Weixing! I can¡¯t believe you¡¯re siding with this little bastard!¡± Li Weixing raised his eyebrows upon hearing Wu Shancong¡¯s words, speaking with a trace of dissatisfaction, ¡°Do you think you too could bring someone back from the brink of death when their body¡¯s tissue necrosis has reached five percent?¡± Li Weixing turned his head sincerely towards Xiao Yifei and said, ¡°Dr. Xiao, I¡¯m really sorry for misunderstanding you earlier and speaking ill of you without understanding the situation. Please accept my apology.¡± Xiao Yifei looked up, glanced at Li Weixing with interest; he didn¡¯t know how this doctor knew of his deeds. Yanjing Union Hospital? The hospital where Qian Wu worked? ¡°How do you know it so clearly? Five percent tissue necrosis, what difference does that make from being nearly dead? This little bastard can do that? You think he¡¯s a reincarnation of Hua Tuo? I think you¡¯re in cahoots with this little bastard! Spouting nonsense!¡± Five percent tissue necrosis was a terrifying figure, which was why Wu Shancong could equate it to being nearly dead. He knew everyone present with a medical background would understand what this figure meant, and everyone began to look at Xiao Yifei with suspicion. Li Weixing shook his head, feeling that there was nothing more to discuss with Wu Shancong. Initially, he didn¡¯t believe it either, but Qian Wu was not one to lie. The Poisonous Scorpion cocked her head, watching Wu Shancong, who behaved like a jumping clown; finally, she spoke up with an icy tone, ¡°I remember who you are now! The day Mr. Xiao was treating the old master, you rushed over with a cart full of medical equipment, all frantic. Though we at the ¡®Canine Society¡¯ aren¡¯t short on money, don¡¯t take us for fools! So many well-known doctors couldn¡¯t handle the old master¡¯s illness at that time! With just you? Could you deal with it that simply? What a joke! Do you think you are Mr. Xiao?¡± Scorpion looked down on Wu Shancong with disdain and said, ¡°And stop calling me Miss Scorpion like we¡¯re that familiar. Are we?¡± Scorpion¡¯s words had inadvertently confirmed Xiao Yifei¡¯s abilities! This set the entire banquet ablaze with excitement! If Xiao Yifei¡¯s skills were truly as Scorpion had acknowledged, then his abilities were terrifyingly great! Wu Shancong was stunned, suddenly feeling that the situation had exceeded his expectations. He turned his head to look at Wang Changping, but Wang, who had already sensed the shift in the situation, had hidden himself in a corner and no longer spoke. Wu Shancong swallowed nervously, yet not wanting to lose face, he blustered on, ¡°I don¡¯t care if it was Xiao Yifei¡¯s doing or not. So what if it was him? No matter how skilled he is in medicine, I¡¯m still his dean! If I say he¡¯s fired, then he¡¯s fired! Who am I? I¡¯m the Deputy Dean of Shangjing Hospital! I have far more resources at my disposal than he does! My connections! The value I can create! It¡¯s hundreds of times more than this little bastard¡¯s! What gives him the right to compete with me!¡± Wu Shancong¡¯s face was flushed with anger as he screamed hysterically, ¡°I¡¯m saying it now! As long as I am the Deputy Dean of Shangjing Hospital, I will not let this little bastard stay at Shangjing Hospital!¡± Wu Shancong had completely lost it! ¡°And what if you¡¯re no longer the Deputy Dean of Shangjing Hospital?¡± ¡°How much value can a person with a dysfunctional brain create? Ten million a year? Or twenty million?¡± A voice full of vigor suddenly rang out, carrying with it an infinite authority that silenced the entire banquet hall at once! Everyone looked toward the source of the voice, and a figure appeared before them. An elderly man with white hair and a commanding gaze moved with grand gestures, exuding a domineering aura. His presence was like an abyss, with dozens of burly men closely following behind him. However, the imposing manner of these burly men piled up to not even match that of the elderly man alone. This old man was naturally Jiang Mingquan! ¡°Mr. Jiang Mingquan!¡± ¡°Mr. Jiang!¡± ¡°Elder!¡± The moment Jiang Mingquan appeared, everyone stood up and greeted him. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Jiang Mingquan to really show up! I heard rumors that Jiang Mingquan wasn¡¯t doing very well a while ago. Seeing him full of energy now, it seems that what Li Weixing said is true. It was really Xiao Yifei who cured Jiang Mingquan!¡± ¡°Xiao Yifei is too mysterious! I had never heard of his name before. This has truly taken us by surprise! We were looking down on Xiao Yifei just a moment ago, but in reality, he simply didn¡¯t consider us worth noticing!¡± The guests at the banquet hall began to whisper among themselves. Upon seeing Jiang Mingquan¡¯s arrival, Xu Hao could no longer contain the fear in his heart and collapsed to the ground with a thud. If Scorpion could make him feel fear, then Jiang Mingquan was the one to make him completely despair! Chapter 68 - 68 68 The Buffoon in the Limelight ?68: Chapter 68 The Buffoon in the Limelight 68: Chapter 68 The Buffoon in the Limelight Although his family was well-off, and he was considered a prominent second-generation rich kid, he was no match for Jiang Mingquan. He knew all too well how ruthless and cruel the Inugami Organization was! Xu Hao silently prayed in his heart, praying that Xiao Yifei would forget all about him and treat him like a fart¡ªletting him go! However, no matter how much Xu Hao prayed now, the focus was no longer on him. Once Jiang Mingquan stood firm, he looked at Wu Shancong and said word by word, ¡°I¡¯m asking you, with your mediocre abilities, how much benefit can you bring to the hospital?¡± Wu Shancong felt fear upon seeing Jiang Mingquan; after all, Jiang Mingquan¡¯s reputation was truly built on blood and slaughter. Wu Shancong¡¯s fear was extraordinary. He looked around the main hall of the evening gala and realized not a single person would stand up for him. His pride in his connections was utterly worthless in the face of absolute power. Wu Shancong looked at Jiang Mingquan, gritted his teeth fiercely, and felt that Jiang Mingquan wouldn¡¯t dare do anything to him with so many people around. He steeled his heart and said, ¡°Just by myself! I can bring at least five million in revenue to Shangjing Hospital each year! That¡¯s hundreds of times more than what Xiao Yifei brings in! What right does he have to compare with me!¡± Jiang Mingquan smirked, his eyes looking indifferently at Wu Shancong, ¡°Why should Mr. Xiao compare with you? Because he saved my life! He is my life-saving benefactor! I have been sick for a long time, and my temper has improved a lot! If you dared to talk to me like this in the past, you would have to leave behind an arm first!¡± Wu Shancong was intimidated by Jiang Mingquan¡¯s aura and did not dare to speak. Jiang Mingquan looked at Wu Shancong with disdain and laughed, ¡°With your courage, you dare to compare with Mr. Xiao? Have you lived all these decades in vain like a dog? Just five million a year! I¡¯m telling you today! Starting this year, I will donate fifty million to Shangjing Hospital every year! And I want you to get the hell out of Shangjing Hospital!¡± When Wu Shancong heard Jiang Mingquan¡¯s words, he was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly shouted, ¡°On what basis! I¡¯m a public official! What you say doesn¡¯t count! Why do you get to say whether I can work or not?¡± Wu Shancong ranted, not believing that Jiang Mingquan had such power. Jiang Mingquan smiled faintly, his eyes suddenly turned cold as he spoke, ¡°I¡¯ve been sick for so long, and the original purpose of this medical charity gala was to see if I could find someone who might cure my illness. Although I didn¡¯t find one in the end, I still met quite a few people! You just said, you are the vice president of the hospital, and that if you tell Mr. Xiao to stop working, you can fire him? You¡¯re influential, and your word is final, so now I¡¯m telling you! Even if I have to sell my old face, I will pull you down from this vice president position!¡± Jiang Ming roared, ¡°Bring me the phone!¡± Being a vice president of a grade-A hospital was indeed not a position that one could easily be made to step down from, and if Jiang Mingquan managed to do it, it certainly meant he had called in some major favors. Just as Jiang Mingquan pulled out his phone, Xiao Yifei¡¯s calm voice rang out. ¡°Elder, I know it¡¯s for my sake, but this man is not worth such a big sacrifice.¡± Xiao Yifei walked forward calmly, a gentle smile on his face, and he politely said to Jiang Mingquan, ¡°Elder, you are so kind to me, and I appreciate it! But this is my matter, and I should handle it myself!¡± Jiang Mingquan stared at Xiao Yifei, ¡°Are you sure you can handle it? If you have any trouble, tell me at any time!¡± Xiao Yifei nodded, he looked at Wu Shancong, who was now holding his head high, arrogantly staring at Xiao Yunfei. He feared Jiang Mingquan, but he was full of disdain for Xiao Yifei. ¡°Vice President Wu, I¡¯ve never considered myself a good person, and it just so happens that I can settle things today. From the first day I became a fully qualified doctor, you were dissatisfied with me. If my medical skill weren¡¯t up to par, you probably would have kicked me out of the hospital a long time ago. Just now, Zhu Ziqiang was so hostile to me, claiming it was Xu Hao¡¯s instruction, but Xu Hao and I bear no grudges¡ªwhy would he target me? So, it must be you, right?¡± Xiao Yifei spread his hands open, looking at Wu Shancong with an innocent face. ¡°Hmph, so what if it is!¡± Wu Shancong glanced sideways at Xiao Yifei, speaking with utter disdain. ¡°I just find you disagreeable! What¡¯s it to you! Blocking my path to wealth! I want to take you down!¡± Having said his piece, Wu Shancong had heard Jiang Mingquan¡¯s words and felt that even Jiang Mingquan himself couldn¡¯t easily remove him from his position as deputy director. As for the bloody vengeance from the ¡®Canine Society,¡¯ he was planning to make a big score and then leave for abroad¡ªhe didn¡¯t believe Jiang Mingquan¡¯s influence could reach that far! With such thoughts, Wu Shancong felt he had nothing to fear anymore; his face had already been torn, so now he didn¡¯t care about anything! With a casual smile, Xiao Yifei said, ¡°Director Wu, just now you signaled Zhu Ziqiang to slander me as having sneaked in; that¡¯s tarnishing my reputation. Then you pointed out that I am also a doctor, which is cutting off my retreat, making it impossible for me to establish a foothold in the Shangjing medical circle ever again. And finally, you had Zhu Ziqiang and his men prepare to make a move, which was an attempt on my life. How could you be so ruthless with your actions!¡± Xiao Yifei chuckled and shook his head, ¡°You really are a master at playing games.¡± Hearing Sun Li¡¯s words, Wu Shancong laughed heartily, ¡°What can you do to me!¡± He was supremely arrogant. Meng Hu stood by the side, watching Wu Shancong and suddenly clenched his fists tight. Scorpio also watched Wu Shancong with a cold look, an expression that seemed as if Wu Shancong had already been killed a thousand times over in his mind. In the end, Xiao Yifei smiled and shook his head, speaking indifferently, ¡°Alright, leave now!¡± Not only Wu Shancong but everyone present was stunned upon hearing Xiao Yifei¡¯s words, because Wu Shancong¡¯s schemes were truly life-threatening to Xiao Yifei! But why was Xiao Yifei letting it slide so easily? ¡°Doctor Xiao!¡± Meng Hu hastily said, ¡°If there¡¯s something unspeakable holding you back from acting, tell me! I will help you deal with it! How can you let Wu Shancong leave so easily!¡± Scorpio also watched Xiao Yifei with a cold gaze, speaking in a low voice, ¡°You being so afraid of confrontation, it¡¯s really disappointing. He¡¯s walking all over you, and you still put up with it?¡± Jiang Mingquan looked deeply at Xiao Yifei; he felt Xiao Yifei was not so simple! Xiao Yifei, as if he had not heard the others, stretched lazily. Yawning, he said to Wu Shancong, ¡°Just go; I don¡¯t want to say anything more!¡± Seeing Xiao Yifei¡¯s reaction, Wu Shancong became even more arrogant. Looking at Xiao Yifei, he said with scorn, ¡°You little bastard! Just you wait! I¡¯ll deal with you when I¡¯m back at the hospital!¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± With a triumphant smile, Wu Shancong glanced at Wang Changping, who was hiding in the corner with his head down, noticing that Wang Changping had no intention of leaving with him. Wu Shancong harbored resentment towards him as well, ¡°Wait till I¡¯m back at the hospital, and see how I¡¯ll deal with you both!¡± Chapter 69 - 69 69 None of My Business ?69: Chapter 69: None of My Business 69: Chapter 69: None of My Business Wu Shancong also knew that the current situation was not suitable for him to stay any longer, so he was about to step away and leave, but Meng Hu¡¯s thick arm blocked him. Meng Hu looked anxiously at Xiao Yifei and said, ¡°Dr. Xiao! Are you really going to let him go just like that?¡± Xiao Yifei waved his hand. ¡°Let him go quickly! I don¡¯t want to see him anymore!¡± Seeing Xiao Yifei¡¯s reaction, Meng Hu slapped his hand vigorously, filled with disappointment. ¡°Hmph!¡± Wu Shancong glared provocatively at Meng Hu and arrogantly prepared to leave. Xiao Yifei stared deeply at the figure of Wu Shancong, a smile with ambiguous meanings on his lips. Wang Changping did not follow Wu Shancong for a reason; he had suddenly remembered how Xiao Yifei had diagnosed Yu Yingying¡¯s condition in a similar manner before. Hence, Wang Changping deduced that Xiao Yifei was not so simple after all. However, as Wang Changping watched Wu Shancong exit the door and was about to leave, Xiao Yifei still showed no reactions. He suddenly regretted staying here alone, fearing Xiao Yifei would not dare to mess with Wu Shancong and would vent his anger on him! Complaints about Xiao Yifei being timid and weak reached Wang Changping¡¯s ears. ¡°Xiao Yifei seemed so formidable just now, I thought it would cause a huge uproar! Turns out he¡¯s a coward!¡± ¡°Exactly! So weak! I really don¡¯t understand why Jiang Mingquan respects such a cowardly person like Xiao Yifei!¡± Qian Juanjuan approached Xu Hao, who had been sitting on the ground all along, and looked at Xiao Yifei with some disdain, saying, ¡°Is this even a man? Someone was after his life, and yet he let them go!¡± Xu Hao shook his head, feeling that there was something strange about this situation; he stared deeply at Xiao Yifei, wondering about something. ¡°This is truly a great drama! Full of ups and downs, this Xiao Yifei is really a man without balls. He¡¯s too weak; even if he really has great medical skills, his personality alone is disappointing!¡± Hong Fan sneered, his face filled with disdain. ¡°Miss, let¡¯s not consult him for medical issues! How can someone so spineless be a good doctor!¡± Tan Yunjing remained silent. ¡°Mr. Xiao! This...¡± Jiang Mingquan also felt it inappropriate and finally spoke up. Xiao Yifei yawned, looked towards Jiang Mingquan, and spoke in a voice that was neither loud nor soft. ¡°Old man! I am a doctor! I know my medical skills are superb! Thus, I can definitely save lives and help the injured!¡± Here, Xiao Yifei paused, and his lazy voice suddenly changed. The following words from Xiao Yifei were chilling, like a wind with a hint of blood blowing from a damp prison, causing the guest in the entire hall to shiver violently. ¡°But who said that doctors only know how to heal? A doctor! He can also kill!¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s expression was solemn, his gaze cold. Jiang Mingquan stared at Xiao Yifei¡¯s cold demeanor, and despite being used to facing tough situations, he couldn¡¯t help but shiver. Just at that moment, a panicked voice suddenly erupted: ¡°Wu Shancong has fainted!¡± Everyone¡¯s shocked gazes quickly turned towards the entrance, where they saw Wu Shancong lying on the ground, his eyes rolled back and his body convulsing. ¡°What¡¯s happening! Go check on him!¡± It was unclear who shouted, but Wang Changping swiftly dashed forward, quickly arriving beside Wu Shancong. Despite such prompt discovery, Wang Changping, after checking Wu Shancong¡¯s condition, still spoke to everyone present with a trembling voice filled with despair, ¡°His pupils are dilated, and his heartbeat has stopped!¡± In just a matter of seconds, the previously lively and arrogant Wu Shancong had actually died? The party was dead silent, so quiet that a needle dropping could be heard clearly. Everyone at the venue, wearing looks of horror, slowly turned their heads to look at Xiao Yifei, who stood calmly in the center of the hall. Xiao Yifei shrugged his shoulders, a sunny smile appearing on his face: ¡°Hey, hey, hey! Why are you all looking at me? I¡¯m just kidding! I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with Wu Shancong either!¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s sunny smile sent a shiver through everyone present! Nobody could utter a word, staring at Xiao Yifei as if he were the Grim Reaper in control of life! ¡°Hey! I already said, why look at me! The person is dead! Shouldn¡¯t you be calling the police or dialing 120 right now?¡± Xiao Yifei scratched his head, giving everyone an innocent expression! Following Xiao Yifei¡¯s reminder, people finally sprang into action, but whether they were preserving the scene or calling the police and dialing 120, they all cast strange glances at Xiao Yifei! Xu Hao and Wang Changping watched, dumbstruck, at everything unfolding before them, frozen for a long time! Realizing what had happened, they both sprinted toward Xiao Yifei like rabbits. ¡°Mr. Xiao!¡± ¡°Doctor Xiao!¡± The two shouted in unison, ¡°We haven¡¯t done anything wrong by you! Please don¡¯t hold it against us!¡± Xiao Yifei looked at them with a bizarre expression and hadn¡¯t even opened his mouth when the two spoke again simultaneously. ¡°Doctor Xiao, we¡¯re not saying you did anything; we just recognized our mistake! We think we¡¯ve misjudged you just now and we¡¯re sorry! Please don¡¯t blame us!¡± The two men stood side by side, one thin and one fat, looking comically nervous; they trembled, too worried about dying cluelessly and frightfully like this. The two stood straight, their faces pitiful as they gazed at Xiao Yifei, fearing he might not forgive them! ¡°You¡¯re actually quite smart.¡± Xiao Yifei chuckled and shook his head, waving his hand and saying, ¡°Go on, it¡¯s none of your business anymore!¡± ¡°What? Why are you still standing there?¡± Xiao Yifei noticed the two were still nervously standing still and asked. ¡°No... nothing! Doctor Xiao, we¡¯re not leaving! How could we dare to leave if you haven¡¯t left?!¡± The two said respectfully. They were truly scared, fearful that they might end up like Wu Shancong the moment they left, never waking up again. ¡°Little Doctor Xiao! I misunderstood you before! Back at the hospital! I will definitely treat you to a nice meal to apologize!¡± Wang Changping said sycophantically, his chubby body trembling as he spoke to Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei shook his head helplessly, no longer paying attention to the two extremely nervous men. He walked up to Poison Scorpion, a smile with unclear intentions on his face, and whispered near the tender neck of Poison Scorpion, laughing and saying, ¡°How about now? Are you still disappointed?¡± Poison Scorpion¡¯s neck tickled by the breath Xiao Yifei exhaled as he spoke, and she glared at him fiercely, ¡°A death has occurred at ¡®Summoning Phoenix Palace¡¯! It will definitely impact future business!¡± Xiao Yifei, seeing the stern Poison Scorpion displaying a girlish demeanor, his face lit up with a teasing smile: ¡°I told you to dress sexier, didn¡¯t expect you to really follow through and dress so sexily today!¡± Hearing Xiao Yifei¡¯s words, Poison Scorpion¡¯s ears turned red, but she stubbornly said, neck held high, ¡°Not at all! What you say! I picked this outfit myself, okay?¡± Chapter 70 - 70 70 Overly Reliant ?70: Chapter 70: Overly Reliant 70: Chapter 70: Overly Reliant ¡°Very beautiful!¡± Xiao Yifei said with a smile. ¡°What?¡± The Scorpion didn¡¯t hear what Xiao Yifei had said and asked foolishly, ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°I said you are very beautiful!¡± Xiao Yifei looked directly into Scorpion¡¯s eyes and said earnestly. For the first time, Scorpion felt panicked; she didn¡¯t know how to respond to Xiao Yifei and looked around nervously. ¡°Haha!¡± Xiao Yifei burst into laughter upon seeing Scorpion¡¯s reaction. Realizing that Xiao Yifei was laughing at her, Scorpion couldn¡¯t help but give him a cold look. Finally, the police and the emergency medical team arrived. Surprisingly, the ambulance that arrived was from BJ Union Hospital. The doctors following the ambulance were shocked into silence by the scene before them. What kind of people were present? So many renowned doctors from Yanjing Hospital were there; what was there left for them to do! Li Weixing stepped forward and spoke a few words; then the emergency doctor quickly examined Wu Shancong¡¯s body. ¡°Sudden cerebral hemorrhage, likely caused by excessive excitement. The victim was unfortunate; the hemorrhage compressed the nerves, preventing the brain from issuing breathing commands, leading to death from lack of oxygen.¡± In just a few sentences, the cause of Wu Shancong¡¯s death was determined; the emergency doctor shook his head. ¡°The patient¡¯s pupils had already dilated, and he had long since lost all life signs.¡± Li Weixing stepped forward and talked with the newly arrived doctor, then loaded Wu Shancong¡¯s body into the ambulance and left. When the police arrived at the scene and saw the crowd was large and consisted of highly esteemed individuals, they realized it was impractical to take everyone back to the station. Therefore, they took statements at the scene. Since the death was classified as accidental, even the police roughly understood the situation and then left. Jiang Mingquan watched the police car leave, then turned to look at Xiao Yifei, ¡°Mr. Xiao, I haven¡¯t seen the police in so long, I never expected to see them again today!¡± ¡°Mr. Xiao, you had your plans; thankfully, we did not act rashly just now!¡± Jiang Mingquan said, grinning at Xiao Yifei. ¡°Old man! What are you talking about? You don¡¯t really think Wu Shancong¡¯s death had anything to do with me, do you? Impossible! Old man, stop guessing wildly!¡± Xiao Yifei looked at Jiang Mingquan with a warm smile; he certainly wasn¡¯t going to admit that Wu Shancong¡¯s death had anything to do with him. Jiang Mingquan looked deep into Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes, his fear of Xiao Yifei deepening. Silently killing a man, the thought was enough to send chills down anyone¡¯s spine! ¡°By the way, old sir! Are we still going on with the charity gala?¡± Xiao Yifei tilted his head and asked. ¡°Mr. Xiao, please wait a moment; I¡¯ll handle it!¡± Jiang Mingquan smiled, walked up to the main stage, turned on the microphone, and began, ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, I¡¯m truly sorry. An unfortunate event has spoiled the mood today. Everyone who attended this gala will receive a 10,000 Yuan consumption card from ¡®Zhao Huang Palace¡¯ as compensation.¡± ¡°Furthermore, the original intent of this charity gala was to discover more outstanding doctors, though I also had a personal motive. I¡¯ve been unwell recently and was hoping to find a doctor who could treat my condition. But now, I¡¯ve found one! Thus, this charity gala might not continue. This one will be the last, and I hope everyone has a good time!¡± Jiang Mingquan glanced at Xiao Yifei and continued, ¡°You might really have never seen Mr. Xiao¡¯s medical skills at their miraculous peak, which is why some of you doubt Mr. Xiao. However, here, I can guarantee with my integrity that Mr. Xiao truly possesses great talent! He is worthy of my respect, so I hope those who doubt Mr. Xiao will stop being skeptical. Additionally, I hope that everything that happened at tonight¡¯s party should only be known among us and not be spread outside. On behalf of all the staff of ¡®Canine Society,¡¯ I thank you all!¡± ¡°I hope everyone enjoys themselves!¡± Jiang Mingquan finished speaking and stepped down. Xiao Yifei sighed to himself in his heart; true to Jiang Mingquan¡¯s reputation, he handled the situation flawlessly, not only sealing everyone¡¯s lips to prevent rumors and protecting himself but also to avoid the negative impact Wu Shancong¡¯s death might have on the party, he simply canceled the party to mitigate the impact on ¡°Phoenix Palace.¡± Old ginger is indeed spicier! Xiao Yifei watched Jiang Mingquan slowly descending and expressed his thanks. ¡°Thank you, elder, for your concern!¡± Seeing Xiao Yifei thanking him, Jiang Mingquan regarded Xiao Yifei even more highly. This rational and powerful young man¡¯s future was unimaginable! The party continued in a festive atmosphere of song and dance, as if the incident involving Wu Shancong had no effect on it, everyone intentionally forgot what had happened and, with deliberate interest, kept flocking to Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei momentarily became the center of the entire party! While Xiao Yifei was dealing with a crowd of flatterers, Hong Fan and Tan Yunjing also approached him. ¡°Kid, I want to discuss something with you!¡± Hong Fan pushed through the crowd and said to Xiao Yifei, with Tan Yunjing standing behind him wearing a large mask. ¡°Is your medical skill really as formidable as Old Master Jiang said?¡± Hong Fan, blunt and straightforward, said, ¡°I¡¯d like to ask you to treat an illness!¡± Venom, originally standing far away, did not enjoy such bustling situations, but when she noticed a person with outstanding temperament approaching Xiao Yifei, her beautiful eyes suddenly flashed, and she slowly moved closer to Xiao Yifei¡¯s side. ¡°Xiao Ying! How did you come over here!¡± Xiao Yifei noticed Venom had joined him, his face wearing a sleazy smile as he looked at her and spoke. ¡°Hmph!¡± Venom huffed and said nothing, but she continued to stand right next to Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei touched his nose and turned his gaze towards Hong Fan, ¡°Ah, if I remember correctly, you guys had come to Shangjing Hospital looking for me.¡± Hong Fan spoke gravely, ¡°Yes, I had heard from someone that there was a doctor in the emergency department of Shangjing Hospital with highly skilled medical expertise, so I went to find you. Just like now, I want to ask you to treat an illness!¡± Xiao Yifei scratched his head and glanced towards Tan Yunjing beside Hong Fan, extending his hand, ¡°Is it to treat her illness?¡± Hong Fan nodded, ¡°The condition is rather complex, so it might trouble Doctor Xiao quite a bit.¡± Xiao Yifei squinted at Tan Yunjing and said, ¡°You just helped me, so rest assured, I will look into this disease for you.¡± Hong Fan saw Xiao Yifei dared to make such a promise without even asking about the condition and, even with Jiang Mingquan¡¯s guarantee, he still harbored doubts about Xiao Yifei, ¡°You don¡¯t even ask about the condition, and you dare guarantee you can cure it?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you being too overconfident?¡± Chapter 71 - 71 71 Eldest Daughter ?71: Chapter 71: Eldest Daughter 71: Chapter 71: Eldest Daughter Xiao Yifei shrugged and said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about whether I¡¯m bluffing or not, just bring her to Shangjing Hospital and find me when the time comes.¡± Hong Fan was somewhat dissatisfied with Xiao Yifei¡¯s indifferent attitude, and he glared at Xiao Yifei, ¡°Doctor Xiao, we¡¯ve sought many doctors for our young miss¡¯s illness, and none have found a solution. Are you sure you don¡¯t need to understand the condition seriously?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a skin disease?¡± Xiao Yifei waved his hand dismissively, ¡°It¡¯s nothing difficult! Besides, with so many people here right now, how can I understand the situation, eh? Don¡¯t mention it, just bring her to me in a couple of days!¡± Hearing Xiao Yifei¡¯s response, Hong Fan¡¯s pupils suddenly narrowed, and it was then that he was certain Xiao Yifei wasn¡¯t just shooting in the dark. The fact that he could so easily tell that Tan Yunjing had a skin disease meant that Doctor Xiao Yifei was no common physician. Tan Yunjing¡¯s crisp voice rang out, ¡°Then we will come to visit Doctor Xiao in a couple of days, and we hope Doctor Xiao won¡¯t let us down!¡± Hong Fan was somewhat impatient; he looked at Xiao Yifei and hurriedly said, ¡°Doctor Xiao, since you could easily diagnose that our young miss has a skin disease! You must have a way to treat it!¡± Touching his nose, Xiao Yifei said, ¡°Look, your young miss wears a mask wherever she goes, obviously not wanting to show her face. Why wouldn¡¯t a young lady in her prime want to reveal her face unless she has a skin disease, right?¡± ¡°Go on, go on! You¡¯d better head back now! Patients with skin diseases should minimize contact with outdoor air!¡± Impulsive as he was, Hong Fan still wanted to say something, but Tan Yunjing stopped him, ¡°Then we¡¯ll trouble Doctor Xiao when the time comes!¡± Tan Yunjing, much like a lady from ancient times, performed a respectful curtsy to Xiao Yifei, then moved to leave gracefully. ¡°Oh, right!¡± Suddenly, Xiao Yifei remembered something and called out to Tan Yunjing, ¡°Don¡¯t forget to register when you come!¡± ¡°Of course, Doctor Xiao!¡± Tan Yunjing nodded slightly and, with light steps, left the banquet hall. The classically elegant Tan Yunjing certainly drew the attention of the banquet attendees, but no one understood her background, with only Jiang Mingquan seemingly noticing something. ¡°Could it be the girl from the Tan family?¡± Jiang Mingquan wondered, ¡°Wasn¡¯t it said that the girl from the Tan Family rarely leaves home? How come she¡¯s here at my place?¡± However, after a moment¡¯s thought, Jiang Mingquan pushed the matter from his mind. He turned his attention back to Xiao Yifei, considering how to get closer to him. Even though Xiao Yifei consistently denied having any connection to Wu Shancong¡¯s case, Jiang Mingquan was convinced that Wu Shancong¡¯s death definitely related to Xiao Yifei. And the ability to silently bring about someone¡¯s demise was frankly chilling. Time flew by, and the banquet was quickly coming to an end. By then, Xu Hao had already slinked away, afraid that Xiao Yifei might come after him again, for, after all, it was he who had foolishly poked the tiger first. However, Wang Changping still had to work at Shangjing Hospital, so it was impossible for him to just leave. At this moment, wearing a troubled expression, he approached Xiao Yifei once again. ¡°Doctor Xiao! I really was...¡± Wang Changping began, but Xiao Yifei interrupted him. ¡°Director Wang, you don¡¯t need to keep coming to me. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t do anything to you!¡± Xiao Yifei said with a smile, ¡°As long as you treat everyone seriously from now on and don¡¯t just whimsically charge them, I won¡¯t go looking for trouble with you. Rest assured!¡± Wang Changping was taken aback; he didn¡¯t know what to say, because on reflection, with his current capabilities, he might not even have anything that could catch Xiao Yifei¡¯s eye, so all he could do was bow his head and listen seriously to what Xiao Yifei said. ¡°Go back and seriously learn how to be a doctor. Don¡¯t always think about flattery. Just focus on learning your professional skills, and that will be enough!¡± Xiao Yifei, like reprimanding a schoolboy, lectured Wang Changping, who obediently hung his head and listened to Xiao Yifei speak. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Doctor Xiao! I will definitely study professional techniques diligently!¡± Wang Changping saw Xiao Yifei¡¯s behavior and had an epiphany, realizing that true strength comes from within! Xiao Yifei nodded and continued, ¡°About what happened tonight, when you go back, don¡¯t blab about it. Pretend it never happened. I¡¯m guessing that the vice president¡¯s absence might cause a bit of an impact on our hospital. If someone asks about it, carefully consider what you should and shouldn¡¯t say!¡± Wang Changping nodded earnestly, indicating he understood, ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, Doctor Xiao, I¡¯ll take my leave now!¡± Xiao Yifei nodded, when suddenly, it seemed as if he remembered something. He called out to Wang Changping, startling him; he thought Xiao Yifei had changed his mind. Wang Changping turned around, shivering as he looked at Xiao Yifei. ¡°Oh right, you should also pay attention to your relationships with women! After all, we¡¯re in the same hospital¡ªsee each other when we look up or down!¡± Wang Changping¡¯s face flushed red instantly, and after nodding repeatedly, he left with his head down. Xiao Yifei stretched, feeling a bit tired. He turned to Jiang Mingquan and said, ¡°Old man, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll head out too!¡± Jiang Mingquan let out a hearty laugh, ¡°The banquet is about to end anyway. So, how about I have Xiao Ying send you home?¡± The Scorpio heard Jiang Mingquan wanting her to take Xiao Yifei home, her expression changed, and she said coldly, ¡°I don¡¯t want to send him home! Old man, find someone else!¡± Xiao Yifei scratched his head playfully, teasing Scorpio, ¡°Xiao Ying, if the old man asks you to send me home, you send me home. You¡¯re dressed so beautifully today, I want to take another good look at you!¡± Scorpio¡¯s ears reddened slightly when she heard what Xiao Yifei said. Without a word, she walked straight out of the banquet hall, leaving Xiao Yifei standing there dumbfounded, staring at her retreating figure. Why did she run away in the middle of his sentence? ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to come back? If not, that¡¯s fine too!¡± Scorpio, who was at the door, suddenly turned her head, her stunning face showing a barely noticeable blush: ¡°If you¡¯re going, hurry up! If not, forget it!¡± ¡°Coming, coming!¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s smile is so wide it could almost reach the back of his head. He waved to Jiang Mingquan and hurriedly chased after Scorpio! ¡°With a beauty offering an escort, how could I refuse!¡± Xiao Yifei caught up with Scorpio in a few quick steps and walked beside her. Glancing sideways at her ample chest, he couldn¡¯t help but smack his lips. ¡°How much papaya does one have to eat to get like that!¡± Xiao Yifei whispered. ¡°What did you say!¡± Scorpio turned around, her brows furrowed coldly on her bewitching face. Despite Scorpio¡¯s voluptuous figure and sexy attire, she was, in fact, still a virgin! Chapter 72 - 72 72 Mental Adjustment Period ?72: Chapter 72: Mental Adjustment Period 72: Chapter 72: Mental Adjustment Period The Scorpion was driving her own red Ferrari 911. She pulled out the keys and had just opened the car door when she saw Xiao Yifei leap into the car. ¡°Why are you in such a hurry?¡± Scorpion frowned as she spoke to Xiao Yifei, then buried her head and got into the car herself. Dressed in a form-fitting red gown, Scorpion¡¯s perfect figure was on full display, and combined with the red Porsche 911, it was a sight every man dreamed of. Based on what she knew about Xiao Yifei, he should have been showering her with compliments by now; instead, Xiao Yifei was curled up in a ball, staring blankly out of the window. Scorpion felt puzzled by Xiao Yifei¡¯s behavior. She inserted the key into the ignition and started the car. ¡°Where to?¡± Scorpion turned and asked softly. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go home right now. Just drive around randomly!¡± Scorpion responded without any enthusiasm. Worried, Scorpion looked at Xiao Yifei, not understanding why the once lively young man had suddenly become so melancholic. Scorpion opened her mouth, intending to say something, but she didn¡¯t know how to begin. She started the car, and it cut through the night as it drove off. In the quiet of the night, the two of them remained silent. Scorpion couldn¡¯t help but keep turning her head to look at Xiao Yifei, unaccustomed to his current state. Xiao Yifei¡¯s gaze remained fixed outside the car. Finally, Xiao Yifei spoke. ¡°Xiao Ying, do you think when someone dies, they truly cease to exist?¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s bright eyes glittered in the dark as he stared straight at Scorpion, making her feel a sudden panic inside her heart. She pulled the car over and turned to look at him. ¡°Why would you say that?¡± This was the first time Scorpion didn¡¯t object to Xiao Yifei calling her Xiao Ying. She asked. ¡°Because I¡¯ve killed someone! For the first time, I¡¯ve killed someone!¡± Xiao Yifei murmured to himself, finally admitting in front of Scorpion that he had killed Wu Shancong. However, Xiao Yifei, in his twenties, hadn¡¯t even killed a chicken before, despite possessing the superpower of x-ray vision. And now, having used his power to kill someone, his heart was in agony. Scorpion initially didn¡¯t look at Xiao Yifei but then chuckled. She couldn¡¯t fathom that this young man, who had always been so irreverent, could be in such distress over this matter. ¡°Hey, kid! You¡¯re still too young!¡± Scorpion looked at Xiao Yifei as though he were a wounded child. Remembering how he often teased her, a wicked sense of humor suddenly surged within her. She hooked her slender finger under Xiao Yifei¡¯s chin and breathed out like an orchid from her red lips, ¡°Kid, do you know when your sister first killed someone? I was only 14 years old. Some bastard tried to rape me, so I cut off his balls! And I wasn¡¯t even as upset as you are now after I killed him!¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you embarrassed!¡± Scorpion let out a coy laugh. This woman, seen as cold-hearted by others, was alluring and fairy-like in front of Xiao Yifei! ¡°He cut off your retreat, didn¡¯t leave you a way out, and even wanted your life! I would¡¯ve killed his whole family had I encountered such a person! You just killed him, and you¡¯re acting like a little wife?¡± The scorpion tapped Xiao Yifei¡¯s handsome face with her slender fingers painted with crimson nail polish. It was these slender and beautiful jade hands that had already claimed many souls! Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes gradually lit up, and under the scorpion¡¯s soothing words, Xiao Yifei finally saw the light. It wasn¡¯t that Xiao Yifei couldn¡¯t understand, it was just that he was unaccustomed to killing for the first time. Even though this kill hadn¡¯t been bloody, a life had still been extinguished by his hand. ¡°But he deserved to die! Anyone who wants me dead has to die first!¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s gaze refocused, and he silently made a decision. After Xiao Yifei regained his composure, his attention naturally shifted elsewhere. In the Porsche sports car late at night, the scorpion wore a sexy and enchanting form-fitting gown. The hollowed-out front of the gown barely allowed Xiao Yifei a glimpse of her milky white skin. Waves of her fragrance assaulted Xiao Yifei, and he could clearly feel the warmth of the scorpion¡¯s smooth and slender jade hands. With a ¡®gulp,¡¯ Xiao Yifei swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Seeing that the scorpion seemed oblivious to his recovery, Xiao Yifei¡¯s heart skipped fiercely, and he decided to keep up the act. He feigned a look of despair towards the scorpion, saying weakly, ¡°Shancong, I feel so miserable! My heart aches!¡± ¡°Why does it hurt? How can it hurt?¡± At this point, the scorpion didn¡¯t care that Xiao Yifei called her Shancong. She thought Xiao Yifei still hadn¡¯t gotten over it and looked at him with some concern. However, she found the idea of turning the tables and teasing Xiao Yifei, who had always been beyond her reach, quite interesting. The scorpion slowly leaned in, her beguiling face almost touching Xiao Yifei¡¯s. Xiao Yifei could distinctly smell the fragrance coming from her breath. ¡°Young man! You really are too young! You have a lot to learn from your sister!¡± As the creamy whiteness drew closer to him, Xiao Yifei¡¯s heart raced faster. However, he forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart, still feigning emptiness in his eyes as if oblivious, but his eyes stealthily kept glancing at the depths revealed by the scorpion¡¯s hollowed-out gown. He was deeply captivated and couldn¡¯t look away! ¡°I¡¯m in so much pain!¡± Xiao Yifei repeated while swallowing saliva, ¡°I¡¯m in so much pain! Shancong, I really am in so much pain, my heart aches!¡± If the scorpion initially had intentions of teasing Xiao Yifei, by now she started to worry for him as his condition seemed increasingly grave. She had heard real-life stories of people who chose to break down after killing someone because they didn¡¯t receive proper psychological counseling afterwards. ¡°What should I do!¡± The scorpion bit her cherry lips, looking at Xiao Yifei¡¯s lifeless eyes. She was good at dealing with other matters, but had no idea how to handle this situation. ¡°Shancong, I feel so terrible! My heart is suffering! But I think, you can help me!¡± Xiao Yifei, sensing the scorpion¡¯s concern, was struck by an idea. ¡°What can I do! How can I help you!¡± The scorpion, muddled by worry, wouldn¡¯t have otherwise missed the gaping holes in Xiao Yifei¡¯s act. ¡°I want you to hold me! Just hold me, that¡¯s all I need!¡± While mumbling, Xiao Yifei lunged straight toward the scorpion¡¯s chest, burying his head in her softness. ¡°So warm! So warm! I feel a bit better!¡± Xiao Yifei kept rocking his head against the scorpion¡¯s chest, murmuring to himself. Chapter 73 - 73 73 Treat me and I will help you ?73: Chapter 73: Treat me, and I will help you 73: Chapter 73: Treat me, and I will help you Venom looked at Xiao Yifei, who was shaking his head on her chest like a child, and suddenly felt a surge of maternal love. She extended her slender and beautiful hands, cradled Xiao Yifei¡¯s head, and pulled him into her embrace. ¡°Oh my god!¡± ¡°Xiao Ying isn¡¯t wearing a bra!¡± Xiao Yifei made this judgment, and his nosebleed was about to burst forth! It turned out that Venom, in order to better show off the beautiful gown, truly hadn¡¯t worn a bra underneath. Feeling that Venom wasn¡¯t wearing a bra, a fire seemed to ignite in Xiao Yifei¡¯s heart. His voice trembling, he continued, ¡°Xiao Ying! I¡¯m feeling a bit better now! But I think I¡¯m still not quite there. Just a bit more, and I¡¯ll be completely fine!¡± Xiao Yifei withdrew from Venom¡¯s chest, mustered his emotions, and looked pitifully at her. Completely deceived by Xiao Yifei¡¯s acting, Venom asked worriedly, ¡°What should I do? What can I do to make you feel better?¡± Xiao Yifei swallowed hard, his eyes drifting to Venom¡¯s chest, and he pointed a finger at her twin peaks, ¡°Let me touch them, just let me touch and I swear I¡¯ll be all better!¡± After Xiao Yifei said this, Venom did not respond for a long time. Suddenly, Xiao Yifei felt something was off in the atmosphere; he felt two chills on his head. Slowly, Xiao Yifei raised his head and met Venom¡¯s eyes, filled with a murderous glare. ¡°Er... Xiao Ying! I think I¡¯m feeling much better now!¡± Xiao Yifei, slightly embarrassed, slowly made his way back to his seat, pretending as if nothing had happened. ¡°Let¡¯s go! I¡¯m fine now! You can take me back home!¡± Xiao Yifei tightened his clothes, trying to sound nonchalant. ¡°You still want me to take you back?¡± Venom¡¯s grim voice suddenly made Xiao Yifei shiver. ¡°Heh heh, heh heh heh.¡± Xiao Yifei forced a calm demeanor, laughing dryly, ¡°What are you talking about, Xiao Ying! Stop messing around! Just take me back home!¡± ¡°Get out of the car!¡± All Xiao Yifei heard was Venom¡¯s succinct and forceful command, ¡°Get out of the car now!¡± Xiao Yifei shivered, looking at Venom, ¡°Xiao Ying, you¡¯re joking, right? It¡¯s almost eleven, and it¡¯s at least twenty kilometers from here to where I live, are you telling me to run back?¡± With a cold look, Venom glanced at Xiao Yifei, ¡°You¡¯re overcome with lust, running twenty kilometers will do you good to clear your head! Get out!¡± Xiao Yifei shrank his neck and sulkily muttered, ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll get out! I really don¡¯t believe you¡¯d leave me here!¡± Xiao Yifei ducked his head and got out of the car, hands on his hips as he stared at the viper in the car, thinking she surely wouldn¡¯t dare to drive away. Just as he was about to speak, he saw her slam on the gas, and the Porsche 911 carved a beautiful curve as it turned around, whizzing past him and sending his hair into disarray with the breeze it created. ¡°You really dare to leave!¡± Xiao Yifei, hands still on his hips, yelled in the direction the viper had gone: ¡°It¡¯s just a grope! Is it that serious!¡± But no matter how much Xiao Yifei screamed his lungs out, the viper¡¯s silhouette never appeared again, leaving Xiao Yifei staring dazedly in the direction she had left, somewhat in disarray. In the end, the viper didn¡¯t come back. Xiao Yifei sighed, resigned to the mess he¡¯d made¡ªthere was nothing he could do! Standing there, Xiao Yifei checked his pockets and realized he had only five yuan and fifty cents on him, and his phone was out of battery too. He stood in the wind, sighing deeply with infinite desolation. Luckily, although ¡®Phoenix Court¡¯ was on the outskirts of Yanjing, the place where the viper had stopped wasn¡¯t desolate. Xiao Yifei spotted a barbecue stand in the distance. The aroma of grilled meat wafted into his nostrils, provoking his stomach to let out a fierce growl. The scent made Xiao Yifei slowly lose any thoughts of going home. Xiao Yifei hadn¡¯t eaten all afternoon, and at the charity dinner, he had only had some pastries before causing a whole mess of trouble, so he was indeed truly hungry. He sniffed the air and headed straight for the barbecue stand. ¡°Worst case scenario, I¡¯ll just give the stall owner a check-up! It wouldn¡¯t be too much to get a free meal out of him for that, right?¡± As soon as he reached the barbecue stand, Xiao Yifei was captivated by the lively and noisy atmosphere within. It was summer, a time when everyone enjoyed coming out at night to enjoy some skewers and a few drinks, which was very comfortable. Therefore, the barbecue stand was bustling with customers at its peak business time, and there were hardly any empty seats. Xiao Yifei, looking at the glossy skewers of meat and grilled kidneys on the plates, swallowed hard. Xiao Yifei¡¯s craving was unbearable. He lifted his head and noticed a silent middle-aged man sitting alone in a corner of the stand. He walked over to the man¡¯s direction, pulled out a small stool from under the table, and sat down beside him. ¡°Hey, big brother, are you alone?¡± Xiao Yifei was the first to strike up a conversation. You see, Xiao Yifei was quite curious about this man because middle-aged men, due to family responsibilities, seldom dined out alone. Even if they did, it was usually due to some social obligation. This was the first time Xiao Yifei had seen a middle-aged man eating out alone at night. ¡°Yeah, young man, I¡¯m by myself.¡± The middle-aged man looked up at Xiao Yifei, who then got a clear view of the man¡¯s face. He had a square-shaped face, a high forehead, and a square jaw. He looked every inch the powerful official, and there was a composed and indifferent aura about him. He ate alone but seemed to enjoy every bite. Watching the man eat with relish, Xiao Yifei gritted his teeth and said to the middle-aged man, ¡°Big brother, I didn¡¯t bring any money when I went out, and I¡¯m really craving some food. Could you lend me some? I¡¯m a doctor; I could give you a free check-up in return!¡± The middle-aged man looked up with a hint of interest, ¡°Young man, you are an amusing one. Setting aside whether or not you¡¯re a doctor, I find it boring to eat by myself anyway. Come on, join me!¡± Xiao Yifei shook his head, ¡°Big brother, I can¡¯t just eat for free. My name is Xiao Yifei, and I work in the emergency room at Shangjing Hospital. I really didn¡¯t bring any money this time. If you treat me to this barbecue today, you can come to me for help in the future, and I¡¯ll definitely assist you!¡± The middle-aged man burst into laughter. As Zhang Ming, the mayor of Yanjing City, there really wasn¡¯t much that he would need Xiao Yifei¡¯s help with. Chapter 74 - 74 74 Forgot ?74: Chapter 74: Forgot 74: Chapter 74: Forgot Today Zhang Ming had the evening free, and since his wife and child had just gone back to their hometown for a visit, he decided to drive out for a casual stroll. He conveniently spotted a barbecue stall and, just like Xiao Yifei, Zhang Ming¡¯s craving kicked in. He parked his car and went straight to satisfy his taste buds, never expecting to meet someone as intriguing as Xiao Yifei. ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ve got it, you work at Shangjing Hospital, Xiao Yifei, right?¡± Zhang Ming laughed heartily, finding the young man truly interesting, ¡°Since you¡¯ve already made your intentions clear, go ahead and eat your heart out! After all, you¡¯ll return the favor eventually!¡± ¡°Boss! Another 50 lamb kidneys and 50 meat skewers!¡± Zhang Ming shouted to the barbecue stall owner. Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t hold back, he grabbed the grilled meat from the plate and started devouring it. Zhang Ming watched Xiao Yifei¡¯s sincere demeanor and couldn¡¯t help but feel cheerful, striking up a conversation with him. After a satisfying meal and good wine, the two struck a great rapport and felt that they were quite compatible with each other. Xiao Yifei admired the calm and gentlemanly demeanor of Zhang Ming, while Zhang Ming found the tall and handsome young man very entertaining, and his manner of speaking was exactly to his taste. ¡°Well then, my young friend, let¡¯s meet again some other day!¡± Zhang Ming drove Xiao Yifei to the entrance of the ¡®Jinghang Garden¡¯ complex and cheerfully said goodbye to him. ¡°Drive safely, big brother!¡± Xiao Yifei, with a radiant smile, bid farewell to Zhang Ming. ¡°A public servant?¡± Xiao Yifei squinted his eyes as he suddenly noticed the license plate of Zhang Ming¡¯s car, gaining some insight into his profession. He shrugged indifferently and returned to the apartment that Jiang Mingquan had given him. After a tiring day, Xiao Yifei fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. The next day was a weekend, and Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t have to work. He overslept until the sun was high in the sky, and it wasn¡¯t until 10:30 in the morning that he finally got up. After doing some exercises, Xiao Yifei felt refreshed. Although it was just past 10 in the morning, he felt a bit hungry, so he decided to go downstairs to buy something to eat. He took the elevator down, and the large complex was already bustling with people. ¡°It looks like this complex has a good occupancy rate!¡± Xiao Yifei thought to himself. As he headed towards the stall selling egg pancakes, he noticed a crowd gathered in a circle, looking anxious and apparently discussing something. However, Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t pay much attention and kept walking towards the gate. He bought an egg pancake and a cup of soy milk at the gate and started eating as he walked. Since it was the weekend and there was nothing special to do, Xiao Yifei planned to rest at home. Using his superpower intensively over the past few days had given him a bit of a headache. After buying the egg pancake, Xiao Yifei still noticed the crowd gathered together, and curiosity finally drove him to approach. In the center of the crowd, a beautiful, mature woman was sitting on the ground, her lovely face filled with pain. She continuously massaged her exposed, tender ankle with her hands as delicate as peeled onions. The mature woman was well-maintained, her skin smooth as porcelain, and her face blooming like peach blossoms, apart from the redness around her tender ankle. ¡°Can you walk?¡± Some of the onlookers asked. ¡°Why don¡¯t you stand up and try? Why are you so careless to fall while walking?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not make her stand up! It looked like a bad fall. Maybe it¡¯s better to call 120 (emergency services)!¡± The onlookers brainstormed for solutions. ¡°Come on, everyone, make way, I¡¯m a doctor, let me take a look at her!¡± Xiao Yifei saw the beautiful mature woman¡¯s face contorted in pain, and he hurriedly pushed through the crowd to approach her, stepping forward as a doctor. ¡°Quick, quick, quick, there¡¯s a doctor here, let the doctor have a look!¡± The people made way for Xiao Yifei. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? What happened?¡± Xiao Yifei asked as he reached the side of the beautiful mature woman. ¡°I accidentally fell just now, and now my leg hurts a lot.¡± The beautiful mature woman¡¯s voice was melodious, her soft and delicate speech carried the essence of the Jiangnan water towns. Xiao Yifei¡¯s eyes focused on the woman¡¯s fair ankles, and the swollen red areas were visibly swelling at a slow pace, significantly noticeable on her fair ankles. ¡°Let me have a look!¡± Xiao Yifei reached out, gently removed the stiletto heels the beautiful mature woman was wearing, revealing her jade-like feet. The mature woman¡¯s tender feet were painted with red nail polish, and her delicate toes curled together from the pain, appearing extremely adorable. Xiao Yifei reached out and took the mature woman¡¯s foot in his hands, the softness of her feet caused a sudden stir in Xiao Yifei¡¯s heart. He shook his head vigorously, casting aside the distracting thoughts. Xiao Yifei concentrated, a glint flashed in his eyes as his Clairvoyance Superpower suddenly activated. He could see through the mature woman¡¯s fair skin, directly to the injury in her ankle. At the same time, to avoid revealing his Clairvoyance, Xiao Yifei¡¯s hands pretended to probe the situation while continually massaging around the mature woman¡¯s ankle and her delicate fooy. As he examined the situation, Xiao Yifei slowly furrowed his brows. ¡°The fall was quite severe, with extensive soft tissue damage and harm to the meridians, but fortunately, there is no fracture.¡± Xiao Yifei briefly explained the injury to the mature woman¡¯s foot, and then said, ¡°Let me try to see if I can treat it.¡± The mature woman did not speak, her alluring eyes fixed intently on the handsome Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei tried to use his controlling ability to repair the tissue damage inside the ankle of the beautiful mature woman, but he had no idea where to start. Xiao Yifei squatted there, thinking hard for a long time, still without a solution. He suddenly realized the deficiencies in his Clairvoyance Superpower related to the thought process. It was only capable of controllable adjustments, just like last night when he dealt with Wu Shancong by simply stimulating a weak structure in Wu Shancong¡¯s brain slightly, which caused the brain¡¯s blood to seep out. However, recently, faced with the injury on the mature woman¡¯s ankle, which couldn¡¯t be adjusted with external force, Xiao Yifei was at a loss. This realization shocked Xiao Yifei. He had always believed that with his Clairvoyance Superpower, there was no illness he could not cure. Suddenly discovering this flaw in his Superpower, Xiao Yifei suddenly felt a bit panicked. However, it wasn¡¯t long before Xiao Yifei recovered, realizing it was better to have discovered this issue earlier, so he could compensate for his deficiencies. Xiao Yifei took a deep breath and looked up at the mature woman, ¡°I can¡¯t make your injury heal quickly, but luckily, your type of injury will heal just fine with some rest at home. To avoid severe consequences, don¡¯t walk on it recently, just rest in bed peacefully.¡± After saying this, Xiao Yifei prepared to leave but at that moment, the mature woman spoke, ¡°Thank you, but I can¡¯t walk in my current condition.¡± Xiao Yifei paused, seeing the voluptuous mature woman still slightly in pain, holding her ankle. He smacked his forehead, ¡°How could I have forgotten this!¡± Chapter 75 - 75 75 Rapid Trembling ?75: Chapter 75: Rapid Trembling 75: Chapter 75: Rapid Trembling Xiao Yifei stared blankly at the beautiful mature woman who had fallen on the ground and foolishly asked, ¡°Then what should I do?¡± Initially covering her slightly painful ankle with her hand, the beautiful mature woman couldn¡¯t help but give Xiao Yifei a charming, reproachful look upon hearing his foolish words. ¡°What do you mean, ¡®what should I do¡¯? Take me back home!¡± The beautiful mature woman was at that ripe age, neither too old nor too young, full of charm, with every smile and every frown, every cell in her body emanating a rich sensual fragrance. ¡°Ah? Your leg is injured, how can I take you back?¡± Xiao Yifei stood there, dumbfounded and foolish. ¡°Are you really foolish or just pretending?¡± the beautiful mature woman said with a mix of laughter and exasperation. She frowned and continued, ¡°How to take me back? Are you, a strong young man, not capable of carrying me back?¡± Xiao Yifei scratched his head, realizing he hadn¡¯t thought of that; he had been preoccupied with his superpower¡¯s shortcomings. After being reminded by the beautiful mature woman, Xiao Yifei came to his senses, took a step forward, reached out his arms, and directly scooped her up around her waist. Ever since Xiao Yifei had been practicing the movements taught to him by the old beggar, his physical strength had grown day by day. Carrying not just one but even ten beautiful mature women wouldn¡¯t be a problem for him. Xiao Yifei¡¯s sudden move slightly startled the beautiful mature woman. ¡°Ah!¡± The beautiful mature woman cried out sweetly. It was summer, and everyone was wearing light clothes. She was dressed in only a thin layer of chiffon short sleeves, faintly revealing her black bra underneath. Through the clothes, the beautiful mature woman could clearly feel the warmth of Xiao Yifei¡¯s young and strong body. She thought of something and her face turned red. Not just the beautiful mature woman, but Xiao Yifei as well, felt his heart stir the moment he lifted her. The fragrance from her body continuously wafted into his nostrils. Holding the delicate, boneless body of the beautiful mature woman felt like holding a huge mound of soft dough¡ªsoft and fragrant. Xiao Yifei, already stimulated by yesterday¡¯s scorpion encounter, found his blood heating up in her soft embrace, and the wicked thoughts he had banished just moments before crept back into his mind. ¡°My name is Wei Man. It seems I¡¯m a few years older than you, you can call me Sister Man.¡± In Sun Li¡¯s embrace, Wei Man felt a rush of heat, and to dispel this sensation, she spoke up, ¡°My house is in building number four, make sure you don¡¯t go to the wrong one!¡± ¡°Okay, Sister Man!¡± Sun Li replied in a muffled voice. He looked up at the sign on the high-rise building and walked toward building number four, eventually arriving at its entrance. ¡°Um, on the ninth floor, you...¡± Wei Can continued speaking, but suddenly, she stopped, her face flushing red, because she felt something pressing against her from Xiao Yifei¡¯s body. Because Wei Can¡¯s foot was injured, Xiao Yifei, for convenience, opted to lift her around the waist. As he opened the door downstairs, Xiao Yifei lowered one hand while reaching out with the other toward the doorknob. Consequently, Wei Can¡¯s lower body pressed tightly against Xiao Yifei¡¯s lower half, and as Xiao Yifei bent over to push the door, their bodies pressed even closer, making Wei Can acutely aware of the unusual stiffness in Xiao Yifei¡¯s lower half. Xiao Yifei also noticed the irregularity, his face flushed, and he chuckled awkwardly. After entering the building, he lifted Wei Can, separating from the previously embarrassing close contact. ¡°Sister Can, where do you live on the ninth floor?¡± Xiao Yifei spoke up to lighten the mood. ¡°9031, my key is in my pants pocket. It¡¯s inconvenient for me, so you can just help me get it out later.¡± Xiao Yifei, holding Wei Can, entered the elevator and pressed the button for the ninth floor. In the enclosed elevator space, their breathing seemed to quicken. ¡°Young man, I told you my name, aren¡¯t you going to introduce yourself?¡± It was Wei Can again speaking in a low, sexy voice with her distinctive vocal tone. ¡°My name is Xiao Yifei, and I work at Shangjing Hospital.¡± Xiao Yifei bowed his head, still somewhat embarrassed by his earlier reaction. ¡°Haha, so you really are a doctor!¡± Wei Can pursed her lips and smiled, ¡°I thought you were lying to me!¡± Xiao Yifei opened his mouth to say something but then noticed the elevator doors had opened. ¡°Turn right, my place is on the right.¡± Wei Can stretched out her delicate, onion-peeling-like fingers to point to the right, and Xiao Yifei followed her direction and walked forward. ¡°Alright, here we are!¡± ¡°The key is in the pocket behind me, just take it out.¡± Xiao Yifei stopped at the door of Wei Can¡¯s apartment. Following her instructions, he lifted her up with one hand while reaching into the back pocket of her pants with the other. When Xiao Yifei¡¯s hand slowly touched Wei Can¡¯s perky and elastic buttocks, her body suddenly trembled. ¡°Where is it?¡± Xiao Yifei asked in confusion. Besides feeling Wei Can¡¯s elastic buttocks, he hadn¡¯t felt anything else, though Wei Can¡¯s elastic buttocks made his heart skip a beat. ¡°It¡¯s inside, in the pocket of the pants.¡± Wei Can said softly, her face flushed, feeling her body getting hotter. ¡°Wei Can, Wei Can! You just got divorced, is there any need to be this desperate? A young man touches you a couple of times, and you can¡¯t handle it?¡± Wei Can thought to herself, feeling her cheeks burning and her thoughts turning chaotic. ¡°Xiao Yifei lifted me up so effortlessly just now, does that mean he must be very strong?¡± The truth was that it wasn¡¯t Wei Man¡¯s fault. Dragon Nature is inherently provocative, and after Xiao Yifei cultivated the Dragon Transformation Technique, his body carried an aura that could stir desires, especially attractive to a mature woman like Wei Can. As Wei Can¡¯s mind wandered, Xiao Yifei reached into the pocket of her buttocks again. ¡°Where is it? Let me check.¡± Xiao Yifei whispered back, his hand deftly opening the back pocket and slipping in. Wei Can was wearing a pair of tight shorts, and as Xiao Yifei¡¯s hand moved inside her pocket, she felt his warm hand sliding slowly over her buttocks. This caused Wei Can¡¯s heart to heat up even more, not just hers; Xiao Yifei, too, was deeply attracted by the wonderful touch when his body came into intimate contact with Wei Can¡¯s buttocks. Xiao Yifei¡¯s hand searched about Wei Can¡¯s buttocks for a while, finally finding the key to her apartment door. Both felt a mix of enjoyment and embarrassment as Xiao Yifei searched for the key. With a ¡®click¡¯, Xiao Yifei opened the door to Wei Can¡¯s apartment and carried her inside. Although Wei Can¡¯s home was not large, it was very stylishly decorated, reflecting Wei Can¡¯s refined taste. Xiao Yifei gently placed Wei Can on her bed and said, ¡°Sister Can, you should try to keep the injured foot off the ground as much as possible. If possible, you should take a few days off to rest at home. I took a quick look earlier, and it¡¯s quite serious; you need to rest at least a week.¡± Wei Can lay on the bed, her eyes filled with a hint of allure, and she softly replied, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I can do my work from home, no worries.¡± Xiao Yifei uttered an ¡°oh¡± and then said, ¡°Sister Can, do you have any Red Flower oil or something? I could apply some for you. It¡¯s good for blood circulation and will benefit your injury.¡± Chapter 76 - 76 76 Coming at the Wrong Time ?76: Chapter 76 Coming at the Wrong Time 76: Chapter 76 Coming at the Wrong Time Wei Can furrowed his handsome brows for a moment before answering, ¡°I think there might be. I can¡¯t really remember, but you can check in the drawer under the coffee table in the living room. If it¡¯s there, it would only be there.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Yifei nodded and left Wei Can¡¯s room, heading towards the living room. ¡°The drawer under the coffee table.¡± Xiao Yifei approached the TV cabinet, bent down, and pulled open the small drawer beneath the coffee table. ¡°It¡¯s not here. Where could it be?¡± Xiao Yifei rummaged through but couldn¡¯t find a small bottle containing Red Flower Oil. Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly spotted a black box at the very back of the drawer. ¡°Could it be inside this box? I remember the Red Flower Oil seemed to come in a small box when we bought it.¡± Mumbling to himself, Xiao Yifei reached out and took the black box out, holding it in his hands. The box was small, but it was surprisingly heavy. Driven by curiosity, Xiao Yifei opened the black box. ¡°What is this!¡± Xiao Yifei frowned at the two objects in the box, a smooth, pink oval-shaped object next to something that looked like a remote control. ¡°What is this thing!¡± Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t understand what it was. He picked up the item resembling a remote and pressed a button on it, causing the pink oval object he was holding in his palm to suddenly start vibrating. ¡°Buzz¡ª¡± The sound abruptly filled the air, startling Xiao Yifei. Even though he had never eaten pork, he had seen it being run! It dawned on him suddenly ¨C wasn¡¯t this the thing that appeared in the * movies Mengmeng watched late at night? Xiao Yifei quickly turned off the remote, touched his nose awkwardly, noticing that the remote¡¯s battery compartment had traces indicating that the batteries had been recently changed. ¡°So that means Wei Can is actually using this?¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s heart pounded nonstop. He hastily put the item back in the box and slid the box back into the drawer. It was his first time being this close to such a thing. He regulated his breathing, pretending as if nothing had happened and prepared to return to Wei Can¡¯s room. As he took a step, Xiao Yifei, out of the corner of his eye, suddenly spotted the Red Flower Oil on top of the TV. Touching his head in a somewhat embarrassed manner, he picked up the Red Flower Oil. Upon entering the room, Xiao Yifei dared not look at Wei Can because the imagination of a virgin is boundless. He was afraid that just one glance at the sultry, mature aura of Wei Can would make him think of Wei Can using the thing he¡¯d just found. ¡°Cough cough, Cancan, I found it!¡± Xiao Yifei coughed twice and passed the Red Flower Oil to her. ¡°Have your husband apply this oil to the injury twice a day, morning and evening. It will stimulate circulation and disperse blood clots. For 48 to 72 hours, you should ice the area to reduce swelling. After 72 hours, which is the day after tomorrow, you should apply heat with hot water, which will aid in tissue recovery.¡± Xiao Yifei instructed in a methodical manner. ¡°What husband? Sister Cancan doesn¡¯t have a husband. Where can I find someone to apply Red Flower Oil for me!¡± Wei Can¡¯s glamorous face flushed, and she said to Xiao Yifei in a charming manner, ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯ll have to trouble you, little brother, to help me apply it.¡± Xiao Yifei swallowed hard, and with some hesitation, he replied, ¡°Is this... appropriate?¡± ¡°What¡¯s inappropriate about it? Do you need to see Sister Cancan unable to walk before you help!¡± Wei Can playfully rolled her eyes at him and stretched her beautiful leg towards Xiao Yifei, ¡°Hurry up and apply the medicine for me, my foot is getting more painful!¡± With no choice, Xiao Yifei nodded in agreement. He sat by the bed and cradled Wei Can¡¯s beautiful leg in his arms. Wei Can wasn¡¯t very tall and seemed somewhat slim, but it was only when Xiao Yifei touched her leg that he realized she wasn¡¯t so slender after all. Wei Can belonged to those women who seem thin but feel supple to the touch, with skin that was delicate and soft. Holding Wei Can¡¯s leg gave Xiao Yifei a stirring feeling! He pretended nothing was out of the ordinary, opened the Red Flower Oil bottle, smeared the oil onto his hands, and, still holding her leg, laid his hands upon it. The Red Flower Oil was already slick, and when it was spread on Wei Can¡¯s smooth skin, reflecting the light and shining, it exuded a startling seductiveness. Xiao Yifei swallowed saliva, forcibly suppressing the desire within him, and began to apply the Red Flower Oil to Wei Can earnestly. As Wei Can felt the warm touch of Xiao Yifei¡¯s large hands moving on her skin, her face grew increasingly red. She quickly grabbed a pillow and covered her face with it, not wanting Xiao Yifei to see her reaction. While Xiao Yifei was absorbed in applying the Red Flower Oil, he suddenly noticed scars from scrapes on Wei Can¡¯s thigh. He abruptly pulled her leg closer into his lap, intending to apply the oil on the thigh¡¯s scars. However, he hadn¡¯t anticipated that as he drew Wei Can¡¯s thigh into his lap, the timing just so happened to make her crotch press against his swollen area. Wei Can acutely felt her foot touch something hard, and her heart skipped in shock. Her instinct was to retract her leg, but for some reason, she halted the motion and, instead, pressed closer against Xiao Yifei¡¯s bulge. Xiao Yifei immediately felt the difference, his heart leapt, sensing Wei Can¡¯s foot attempting to withdraw. A quick flash of disappointment ran through him, but then he noticed she had stopped moving away and instead was pressing closer towards him. He could distinctly feel the appealing sensation coming from Wei Can¡¯s beautiful foot. Xiao Yifei looked up to find the beautiful Wei Can lying on the bed, their gazes meeting, eyes soft as silk. Their eye contact suddenly added an amorous aura to the small room. Suddenly, Xiao Yifei felt Wei Can¡¯s foot move skillfully against him, stirring an indescribable sensation within him. Biting his lip, he grew bolder; his trembling hand slowly reached for Wei Can¡¯s thigh. Seeing Wei Can¡¯s body respond sent a wave of discomfort through him, but it was within the range he could bear. ¡®Bang, bang, bang!¡¯ The door to Wei Can¡¯s room was suddenly knocked on urgently. At such a critical moment, it really was like being rudely awakened from a dream. ¡°Cancan! Cancan, are you alright?¡± A somewhat anxious female voice came from outside Wei Can¡¯s door, startling the two people inside and shattering the mood. Xiao Yifei immediately got up, scratched his head, and in a low voice said, ¡°I¡¯ll go open the door!¡± Xiao Yifei let out a long breath, and after leaving the room, he opened Wei Can¡¯s front door. Chapter 77 - 77 77 Treated as a Swindler ?77: Chapter 77: Treated as a Swindler 77: Chapter 77: Treated as a Swindler Xiao Yifei opened the door, and outside stood a woman with heavy makeup, probably about the same age as Wei Can, around thirty-four or thirty-five, but she didn¡¯t maintain herself as well as Wei Can did, looking somewhat older. Upon seeing the tall and handsome Xiao Yifei, the woman paused abruptly. ¡°You are...¡± With a puzzled tone, the woman squinted and asked, immediately tiptoeing to peek inside the house: ¡°Wei Can! Wei Can, are you home?¡± Wei Can heard the woman¡¯s loud call from inside the room. ¡°Feifei, I¡¯m home! Come in! It¡¯s okay!¡± Wei Can responded to the woman at the door from inside the room. The woman looked up again, eying Xiao Yifei unfavorably, shoved past him, and rushed into Wei Can¡¯s home. ¡°What happened just now? You called me saying you had fallen and hurt yourself, I searched for you downstairs for ages and couldn¡¯t find you, I was so worried!¡± Liang Lanfei spoke worriedly as she walked, entering Wei Can¡¯s bedroom, where she saw Wei Can lying on the bed with a somewhat flushed face. ¡°Who was that man outside? He¡¯s quite handsome.¡± Upon seeing that Wei Can was all right, just with a bit of swelling on her ankle, Liang Lanfei finally felt relieved. She shifted her focus to Xiao Yifei, pointing at Wei Can¡¯s face, ¡°How come I¡¯ve never seen him before? A new friend you¡¯ve made? Also, why is your face so red?¡± ¡°Not at all!¡± Wei Can, a bit embarrassed, brushed away Liang Lanfei¡¯s pointing hand: ¡°His name is Xiao Yifei, he helped carry me back this morning after I fell, and even applied medicine for me, he¡¯s a doctor.¡± Liang Lanfei scrutinized Wei Can with unfocused eyes: ¡°Cancan, tell me honestly, did you really just meet this man this morning?¡± Wei Can nodded, and at that moment, Xiao Yifei also closed the room¡¯s door and returned to Wei Can¡¯s bedroom. ¡°Come, come, Xiao Yifei, let me introduce her, this is my good friend Liang Lanfei!¡± Wei Can pointed at Liang Lanfei to Xiao Yifei with a happy face as he entered. ¡°Sister Liang, hello, my name is Xiao Yifei. I saw Cancan injured downstairs this morning and helped carry her back.¡± Xiao Yifei said, smiling at Liang Lanfei who was staring intently at him. Unexpectedly, Liang Lanfei¡¯s attitude towards Xiao Yifei wasn¡¯t very friendly; she looked at him with suspicion: ¡°What do you do for a job? Where is your home?¡± Taken aback by the question, Xiao Yifei slowly replied: ¡°I work at Shangjing Hospital and currently live in this community.¡± Liang Lanfei continued to look at Xiao Yifei with skepticism, wanting to say something more, but Wei Can interrupted her. ¡°Enough, enough! Why are you questioning him like you¡¯re conducting a household survey, he kindly helped me!¡± Wei Can mumbled to Liang Lanfei. Seeing that someone was there to take care of Wei Can, Xiao Yifei felt his presence was no longer needed, so he opened his mouth to bid farewell to Wei Can: ¡°Cancan, if there¡¯s nothing else, then I¡¯ll be going.¡± Xiao Yifei stood up, preparing to leave, while Liang Lanfei stood behind him, still looking at him with a face full of vigilance. ¡°Don¡¯t be in such a hurry! Why are you so eager to go back?¡± Upon hearing that Xiao Yifei was about to leave, Wei Can became anxious, immediately sat up, and said to Xiao Yifei, ¡°You helped me this morning, and I haven¡¯t thanked you yet. Don¡¯t go, let¡¯s have lunch together. Cancan will treat you!¡± Xiao Yifei waved his hand, ¡°No need, Cancan, you should not get out of bed now, just focus on recovering. Besides, it was just a small effort on my part; it¡¯s not a big deal.¡± The fact that Xiao Yifei had refused made Wei Can obviously disappointed. She said in a low voice, ¡°Well, alright then.¡± Wei Can looked up, somewhat hopeful, and said, ¡°You can go, but leave me your phone number. Forget about the meal; you¡¯re a doctor. If there¡¯s another issue with my foot, I could still consult you!¡± Xiao Yifei nodded and then gave her his phone number. ¡°Well then, I¡¯m leaving now, Cancan!¡± Xiao Yifei bade farewell to Wei Can, nodded at Liang Lanfei, but Liang Lanfei did not respond to Xiao Yifei and, feeling uninterested, Xiao Yifei turned and left. ¡®Click¡ª¡¯ Hearing the door close behind Xiao Yifei, Liang Lanfei suddenly jumped up. ¡°Cancan! Tell me honestly! What¡¯s the deal with this guy!¡± Liang Lanfei looked at Wei Can with a wary face, ¡°You, a delicate woman, dare to casually let a man into your house? Don¡¯t you know how sexy and attractive you are? You¡¯re acting so recklessly; do you realize you could be inviting trouble?¡± Upon hearing Liang Lanfei¡¯s words and remembering what had just happened, Wei Can¡¯s cheeks flushed, and a seductive glint flashed in her eyes, ¡°Not really! Xiao Yifei isn¡¯t like that!¡± ¡°What do you mean not like that! Cancan, you have to understand, all men in the world are the same! Have you forgotten how your ex-husband treated you?¡± Liang Lanfei seemed to have a lot of grievances against Xiao Yifei, ¡°You¡¯ve only known this Xiao Yifei for half a day, and you¡¯re already siding with him? Do you even understand him?¡± Liang Lanfei¡¯s derision of Xiao Yifei came out like rapid gunfire, ¡°You didn¡¯t even notice that youngster living in ¡®Jinghang Garden.¡¯ He must be rich for being from a wealthy family, a so-called second-generation rich, but look at his clothes, all cheap. How could he possibly be a rich second generation?¡± ¡°If he¡¯s not a rich second generation, given his looks, I assume he¡¯s a scammer! Preying on naive women like you with his good looks! Deceiving for money and romance! As for whether he¡¯s really a doctor,¡± Liang Lanfei scoffed disdainfully, ¡°Who the hell knows!¡± ¡°Alright, enough!¡± Wei Can somewhat helplessly interrupted Liang Lanfei, ¡°You only saw him for a moment, from where do you get all these conspiracies and theories?¡± ¡°Cancan! Don¡¯t disbelieve me! A man with his looks is exactly the type lonely women like you fall for¡ªso full of masculine charm! It¡¯s all an act to deceive women like you!¡± Liang Lanfei said earnestly and worriedly to Wei Can, ¡°You must be very careful. You don¡¯t know how beautiful and sexy you are, beware this man might have dishonorable intentions toward you!¡± Wei Can recalled the recent events, her face reddened again, ¡°If he has dishonorable intentions, it¡¯s probably me who has dishonorable intentions toward him!¡± However, Wei Can couldn¡¯t say this to Liang Lanfei. All she could do was nod at Liang Lanfei, ¡°I know, Feifei, there¡¯s no need to say more!¡± Liang Lanfei still looked unconvinced as she gazed at Wei Can, ¡°Cancan! Listen to me! You better not interact with this man ever again! Be careful not to be completely deceived!¡± Wei Can nodded along absentmindedly, ¡°Alright, alright, I get it. Now help me up, I need to use the bathroom!¡± Liang Lanfei grumbled to herself, but she still bent down to help Wei Can up and supported her, limping toward the bathroom. As Liang Lanfei was helping Wei Can to the living room, Wei Can suddenly noticed that the drawer under her coffee table was open. Chapter 78 - 78 78 Hostility ?78: Chapter 78 Hostility 78: Chapter 78 Hostility ¡°Xiao Yifei really is something, so careless that he even forgot to close the drawer,¡± Wei Can grumbled to herself. After Liang Lanfei helped her use the restroom, Wei Can said to Liang Lanfei, ¡°Just let me stay in the living room, I want to watch TV for a while.¡± ¡°You¡¯re such a handful. You¡¯d better go back to bed and lie down!¡± Liang Lanfei complained, but despite her words, she still helped Wei Can to sit on the sofa. ¡°What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll go make it for you!¡± Liang Lanfei reached out to grab Wei Can¡¯s chest, ¡°I really don¡¯t know how you grew these, so big and yet so soft!¡± ¡°Ah! That¡¯s enough! Stop fooling around! I¡¯m injured, don¡¯t bully me!¡± Wei Can dodged Liang Lanfei¡¯s ¡®devil¡¯s claw¡¯ with a coquettish laugh and said, ¡°There¡¯s some food at home, just steam some rice for us to eat!¡± Shaking her head helplessly, Liang Lanfei said, ¡°Alright then! You¡¯re the patient, what you say goes!¡± Then, Liang Lanfei headed toward the kitchen. Meanwhile, Wei Can looked at the drawer under the coffee table that was left open. Just as she was about to reach out to close it, she suddenly remembered something. ¡°No way! He couldn¡¯t have found out, could he?¡± Wei Can¡¯s face suddenly flushed red; she nervously reached into the drawer and fumbled around, pulling out a small black box. Seeing that the small box was intact, Wei Can let out a sigh of relief. She gently opened the box and muttered to herself, ¡°Ah, what can a woman without a husband do!¡± However, when she saw the two items inside the box, Wei Can froze¡ªusually, after using these things, she would be very careful to put them away properly. At that moment, though, she noticed that someone had tampered with the two items in the box. She picked up the remote control and studied it carefully, especially the switch, which wasn¡¯t tightly closed! Wei Can¡¯s neck and cheeks turned beet red, and she didn¡¯t know where to put her nervous hands. ¡°He knows! Xiao Yifei must have seen it! Oh my, what am I going to do! This is so embarrassing! What if he thinks I¡¯m a loose woman!¡± Wei Can¡¯s mind was in turmoil. She quickly put away the items back in the drawer and hastily closed its door. Thinking back on everything that had happened with Sun Li in the bedroom earlier, if it hadn¡¯t been for the timely appearance of Liang Lanfei, maybe, possibly... Wei Can dare not think further. Remembering her personal items had been handled and played with by Xiao Yifei, she suddenly felt her body growing hotter. ¡°Really! Of all times for Feifei to come, he had to pick that moment!¡± Inside, Wei Can seemed to suddenly hold some resentment towards Liang Lanfei. She cast a seductive glance towards the drawer under the coffee table and involuntarily squeezed her legs together. After Xiao Yifei returned home, there was nothing much to do. If he was working, time seemed to move slowly, but if he was idling at home, lying on the bed doing nothing, time passed swiftly. The weekend went by blandly, and before he knew it, Xiao Yifei¡¯s weekend had passed, and it was time for him to go back to work at the hospital. ¡°Good morning, Doctor Xiao! I¡¯ve brought you a cup of tea!¡± Early on Monday morning, as soon as Xiao Yifei sat down in the emergency room office of Shangjing Hospital, Wu Rui appeared on time, handing Xiao Yifei a shiny, bright red apple. ¡°Doctor Xiao, have you had breakfast yet? I¡¯ll go buy it for you.¡± Wu Rui looked at Xiao Yifei with her big, sparkling eyes, and said in a crisp voice. ¡°Haha, thanks, Ruirui, I¡¯ve eaten already. You go ahead and get busy! I¡¯m fine over here!¡± Xiao Yifei said with a laugh to Wu Rui; his heart was filled with fondness for this lively young nurse. ¡°Okay! Doctor Xiao, just call me if you need anything!¡± Wu Rui nodded vigorously and then hopped and skipped away. Xiao Yifei watched Wu Rui¡¯s retreating figure, a sincere smile spreading across his face. Not long after Xiao Yifei settled into the office, he saw Director Chen Xusheng walk in with a furrowed brow and a worried expression. ¡°Director Chen! What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xiao Yifei, noticing that something seemed to have happened, couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°Ah!¡± Chen Xusheng let out a long sigh and said to Xiao Yifei, ¡°Vice President Wu Shancong is no more!¡± ¡°Ah! Really? What happened? How come I don¡¯t know about it!¡± Xiao Yifei pretended to be clueless and asked with wide eyes. ¡°Just last night, he went to a party, and suddenly he had a cerebral hemorrhage. He was gone just like that. I always remembered him being quite healthy!¡± Chen Xusheng sighed, then continued, ¡°But to speak frankly, his passing might be a good thing. Many of the bad practices in our hospital originated with him and Zhou Entang.¡± Xiao Yifei smiled and said nothing. Chen Xusheng was indeed a doctor who possessed medical ethics. Fearing that Xiao Yifei might become too prominent and provoke other people¡¯s jealousy, he was very protective of Xiao Yifei. So far, Xiao Yifei¡¯s deeds had only circulated on a small scale within the emergency room. But as is said, gold will always shine, and gradually, the news of Xiao Yifei¡¯s exceptional medical skills began to spread beyond the emergency room to the rest of the hospital. For someone who initially performed poorly at medical conferences, his sudden rise was bound to arouse the envy of many, particularly after the nickname ¡®Divine Doctor¡¯ circulated outside the emergency room, prompting many other department doctors to sneer. Those doctors in the know, such as Zhang Wencai and Chen Xusheng, naturally wouldn¡¯t say anything. Other doctors, who were thoroughly intimidated by Xiao Yifei, would obediently heed his words and wouldn¡¯t dare to speak out of turn, like Zhou Yuan, Wang Changping, and others. But of course, other doctors didn¡¯t share this view. ¡°A doctor from the emergency room called a ¡®Divine Doctor¡¯? That¡¯s utter nonsense!¡± Jin Zhuang, a dermatologist, spoke dismissively of Xiao Yifei¡ªthe recently prominent topic¡ªdespite having no professional interactions with him, he deeply looked down on Xiao Yifei. ¡°A Divine Doctor from the emergency room? Please, what¡¯s the job of an emergency room doctor? Just to do an examination, then decide which department should handle the case. Everything else is our job. This ¡®Divine Doctor¡¯ label, isn¡¯t it just some stooge Xiao Yifei found to prop him up?¡± Xiong Yang, a doctor from internal medicine, was even more disdainful. When Xiao Yifei was keeping a low profile, Xiong Yang held his tongue. However, as Xiao Yifei¡¯s fame grew, Xiong Yang found it increasingly intolerable. ¡°Xiao Yifei?¡± Upon hearing the news that Xiao Yifei was being called a ¡®Divine Doctor,¡¯ Fu Kaiyuan, an orthopedic surgeon also known as one of the Twin Stars of Shangjing Hospital, showed utter contempt on his face: ¡°Divine Doctor? Isn¡¯t that a gimmick con artists often use?¡± He sneered, his attitude toward Xiao Yifei shifting from previous disdain to current hostility. ¡°We¡¯ve never called ourselves divine doctors. How dare he be called that? What gives him the right?¡± Chapter 79 - 79 79 Be Low-Key ?79: Chapter 79: Be Low-Key 79: Chapter 79: Be Low-Key Chen Xusheng, after finishing the matter concerning Wu Shancong, did not leave but stood by Xiao Yifei¡¯s side, hesitant to speak. He furrowed his brows tightly, indicating that there were still matters weighing on his mind. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Director Chen, just speak up, it¡¯s alright!¡± Xiao Yifei smiled indifferently, he always felt that Chen Xusheng had more to say to him. ¡°Well, Xiao Yi,¡± Chen Xusheng had secretly made a decision. He turned to Xiao Yifei and said earnestly, ¡°Recently, when you go out and do things, try to keep a low profile.¡± Xiao Yifei was startled by these words and asked with some confusion, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Director Chen? Why do you suddenly ask me to keep a low profile? I have always been low-key. I have never done anything high-profile!¡± Chen Xusheng sighed and said slowly, ¡°Well, that¡¯s true. You always conduct yourself in a low-key manner and treat others kindly. Everyone in our emergency room appreciates you. But,¡± Chen Xusheng seemed to speak as if he harbored an unspeakable secret, ¡°Lately there might have been some unfounded gossip about you, so I still hope you can keep a low profile. Hearing everyone¡¯s baseless remarks, I hope you can endure it. After all, in the medical profession, just endure a bit and you will come out on top. I am afraid that, being young and full of energy, you might clash with others.¡± Xiao Yifei was even more puzzled. At the hospital, except for a few doctors, he rarely interacted with other doctors. He did not understand why there would be gossip about him. Had he offended someone? ¡°Director Chen, please clarify what you mean. It¡¯s alright, don¡¯t you know my character? Just say what needs to be said!¡± Xiao Yifei spoke in an even tone. ¡°Sigh, isn¡¯t it because your medical skill is indeed impressive, causing some narrow-minded doctors in our hospital to be jealous of you!¡± Chen Xusheng spoke with a hint of helplessness, ¡°Originally, everyone in our emergency room knows you are skilled. However, didn¡¯t you cure several critically ill patients recently without consulting other departments? It¡¯s also unlucky for those patients, who went out and loudly praised your medical prowess. Now, that has led to dissatisfaction among the doctors from other departments. Now, they are even calling you ¡®Divine Doctor Xiao,¡¯ but whether or not they mean it sincerely is another question.¡± Xiao Yifei looked up at Chen Xusheng in surprise. ¡°Is that what they are saying? Those patients didn¡¯t even need the other departments; I could handle it myself!¡± Chen Xusheng nodded, ¡°It¡¯s true, we know that, but they don¡¯t! It has caused their dissatisfaction, and they might unite to suppress you, which really isn¡¯t good for you. So, what I mean is that you should keep a low profile for now, and once this storm blows over, then it will slowly get better!¡± Xiao Yifei touched his nose and said with a slight smile to Chen Xusheng, ¡°Director Chen, I know you mean well, but tell me, were those patients not cured by me?¡± Chen Xusheng looked at Xiao Yifei, unsure why he suddenly spoke like that, ¡°Yes, those patients were cured by you.¡± Xiao Yifei nodded and said flatly, ¡°Exactly, those patients were cured by me. I have the ability, so I don¡¯t need them. It¡¯s not wrong for the patients to go out and thank me by telling others about it. They are not wrong, and neither am I for treating them. So why should I keep a low profile?¡± Chen Xusheng looked at the proud Xiao Yifei and tried to reason with him, ¡°This isn¡¯t about right or wrong, I know you have your pride, but they have their thoughts too. We all belong to the same hospital, and this will involve your future promotion. There¡¯s no need to make relationships so tense, so listen to my advice, don¡¯t be so extreme.¡± Xiao Yifei listened indifferently to Chen Xusheng¡¯s words, raising an eyebrow, ¡°This is my strength; I don¡¯t think I need to stay low-key. Why should I be afraid of them?¡± Chen Xusheng looked at Xiao Yifei and felt a bit lost. Had he been ground down by the system to the point of losing his vigor? Nonetheless, Chen Xusheng still advised, ¡°This is about connections. Who knows what opportunities might come up in the future? Knowing one more person is having one more path. It¡¯s better not to make relationships too rigid!¡± Xiao Yifei smiled and shook his head, ¡°Director Chen, it¡¯s not arrogance. This is just the way I am. I¡¯m not stealing anyone¡¯s thunder. I¡¯m just earnestly doing my duties. As for connections,¡± Xiao Yifei¡¯s lips curled into a disdainful smile, ¡°Such things are mere dirt in front of absolute strength!¡± He looked up at Chen Xusheng and said lightly, ¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s people being jealous or disliking me, but thinking they can target me? They are not even worthy.¡± Seeing Xiao Yifei so insistent, Chen Xusheng could only sigh helplessly, ¡°Alright, alright, as you wish! Just remember, the emergency room is your strongest backup!¡± Xiao Yifei looked up at Chen Xusheng and smiled, saying, ¡°Then I thank you, Director Chen!¡± ¡°But still,¡± Xiao Yifei spoke emphatically, ¡°I won¡¯t deliberately be high-profile, nor will I deliberately be low-profile. This is just who I am, this is my strength. I don¡¯t need to hide. Whoever wants to mess with me, I¡¯ll make sure they can¡¯t even make it back!¡± Looking at the calm Xiao Yifei, Chen Xusheng smiled and shook his head, ¡°You young people!¡± Chen Xusheng smiled and then left the office. Xiao Yifei sat in the office chair, shrugged nonchalantly; he really wasn¡¯t concerned about the people Chen Xusheng mentioned who were hostile towards him. He had plenty of adversaries, including Deputy Dean Li Entang, yet he was still living well, sitting at the emergency room desk doing his job. Just then, the phone in front of Xiao Yifei rang, and he picked it up to hear Chen Xusheng¡¯s somewhat urgent voice, ¡°Xiao Xiao, hurry to the hospital entrance. I¡¯ve just been notified that an important figure is visiting our hospital, and the hospital leaders require a doctor from each department to greet them! I¡¯m tied up right now and can¡¯t make it, so you represent our emergency room and go meet them!¡± Xiao Yifei yawned lazily, ¡°Okay, Director Chen, I¡¯m on my way.¡± Xiao Yifei stood up, stretched comfortably, rubbed his eyes, and slowly ambled out of the office. ¡°An important figure? What kind of important figure requires such a grand reception that all doctors must go out to greet?¡± Xiao Yifei lazily half-squinted his eyes, ¡°This big shot¡¯s airs are so grand, no wonder everyone wants power.¡± Getting up early this morning, the comfort of the weekend had not yet worn off. After speaking with Chen Xusheng, Xiao Yifei was even feeling a bit sleepy. He ambled lazily with a swagger towards the hospital entrance. Chapter 80 - 80 80 Welcoming the VIP ?80: Chapter 80 Welcoming the VIP 80: Chapter 80 Welcoming the VIP Xiao Yifei saw from a distance that the hospital entrance was packed with a sea of people dressed in white coats. ¡°Wow! It really is a full turnout. Every department seems to have sent someone.¡± Although Xiao Yifei didn¡¯t interact much with doctors from other departments, he was at least aware of their existence. On closer observation, he noticed that the welcoming doctors were all pillars of their respective departments. Dermatology¡¯s Jin Zhuang, Internal Medicine¡¯s Xiong Yang, Surgery¡¯s Wang Changping ¨C they were all there, craning their necks in anticipation at the entrance. From Neurology came Zhang Wencai and from Orthopedics came Fu Kaiyuan. These two were truly the shining new stars of Shangjing Hospital, each surrounded by a group of doctors. They chatted and laughed with ease, exuding a sense of commanding authority. Zhang Wencai and Fu Kaiyuan were hailed as the Twin Stars of Shangjing Hospital not just for their youth, but more importantly, because they had highly esteemed professional and medical skills. For people their age to already be lead surgeons was quite an extraordinary accomplishment! Yet Xiao Yifei had never set foot in an operating room to this day. His major in university was clinical medicine, which left him feeling a little melancholic. Shuffling to the front of the crowd, Xiao Yifei stopped in his tracks, stamping his feet to keep warm as he joined the doctors waiting for the so-called important person¡¯s arrival. Jin Zhuang turned his head, saw Xiao Yifei¡¯s figure, and with a teasing smile nudged Xiong Yang with his elbow, ¡°Hey! Who¡¯s that looking half-dead over there? Isn¡¯t that our little ¡®Divine Doctor¡¯?¡± With a mocking smile on his face, Jin Zhuang pointed at Xiao Yifei with a tone of ridicule, ¡°Look at our little ¡®Divine Doctor¡¯, curing with the look of a corpse!¡± ¡°Haha! Jin Zhuang, aren¡¯t you being a bit too harsh?¡± Xiong Yang laughed heartily, ¡°How can you call someone a corpse? He is the well-known little ¡®Divine Doctor,¡¯ after all!¡± Jin Zhuang and Xiong Yang stood together, continuously teasing Xiao Yifei with their mocking banter. Xiao Yifei stood in a daze on the spot. ¡°How come this important person hasn¡¯t arrived yet! They don¡¯t even tell us who it is, just have us come out to welcome them, how irresponsible can you get!¡± Xiao Yifei rubbed his eyes, ¡°I¡¯m getting sleepier by the minute. It looks like I can¡¯t stay up late on weekends anymore, or I won¡¯t have any energy to work come Monday.¡± Meanwhile, in front of the group of doctors was the head of the Surgical Department, Wang Changping, lecturing everyone. After being intimidated by Xiao Yifei once, he had indeed improved quite a bit, at least he was willing to work diligently. ¡°The one who¡¯s visiting today is Director Lou Nanfu from the Yanjing Health Bureau, so I still hope everyone can muster their spirits!¡± Wang Changping lectured in front of the crowd, ¡°Ordinarily, welcoming Director Lou would not be my responsibility. Vice President Li is out on business, so the task of welcoming Director Lou temporarily falls to me to lead everyone!¡± As Wang Changping spoke, he caught sight of Xiao Yifei lazily standing at the back of the crowd. The moment he saw Xiao Yifei, Wang Changping¡¯s body involuntarily shuddered with a bit of fear, as he certainly hadn¡¯t forgotten Xiao Yifei¡¯s terrifying demeanor at the charity gala. Fortunately, he only saw Xiao Yifei quietly standing at the back of the crowd, which eased Wang Changping¡¯s mind. Remembering the instructions given by Xiao Yifei, Wang Changping shifted his gaze away, vowing not to reveal any information about Xiao Yifei to others! Assisting Wang Changping in welcoming Director Lou Nanfu was He Shanming, the deputy head of the respiratory department, who stood by Wang Changping¡¯s side. Listening to Wang Changping¡¯s admonishment, suddenly, He Shanming saw his colleague¡¯s glance drift to the very back of the crowd. Following Wang Changping¡¯s gaze, he too noticed Xiao Yifei¡¯s listless face. He Shanming¡¯s eyes lit up, recalling the hospital¡¯s rumors about the discord between Wang Changping and Xiao Yifei, an idea started forming in his mind. ¡°For some reason, Director Lou decided to visit our hospital today. We only just received the notice that Director Lou would be arriving at ten o¡¯clock. With time being so short, we haven¡¯t prepared much,¡± said Wang Changping, hands on hips, to the doctors, ¡°So I hope we can all greet Director Lou positively and show him a spirited Shangjing People¡¯s Hospital.¡± As one of the few directly-governed municipalities in Huaxia, the ranks of all officials in Yanjing City were slightly higher. The saying goes that even dogs and chickens rise to heaven at the Emperor¡¯s feet, so it¡¯s no wonder that the Health Bureau¡¯s Director Lou Nanfu could stir such a commotion in a hospital like Shangjing People¡¯s Hospital. Wang Changping finished his speech and stood to one side, arms crossed, waiting for the arrival of Lou Nanfu. After Wang Changping finished speaking, He Shanming stepped forward, looking in Xiao Yifei¡¯s direction as he emphasized his words, ¡°Director Wang has just highlighted what needed emphasis. I only want to add one thing¡ªI hope everyone can adopt the correct attitude. Don¡¯t be like a certain comrade, all slack and slovenly, bringing shame on our Shangjing Hospital!¡± With He Shanming¡¯s remark, the grouped doctors started whispering amongst themselves, unsure of whom He Shanming was referring to. Standing at the forefront, He Shanming expected his words to prompt at least some change in Xiao Yifei. However, Xiao Yifei remained inattentive as ever, standing crookedly at the back of the crowd. Frowning, He Shanming felt a surge of anger when Xiao Yifei ignored his words; he spoke sharply to Xiao Yifei, ¡°I¡¯m talking about you! Xiao Yifei! If you keep up this careless demeanor, then get out of the way! Don¡¯t bring disgrace upon our Shangjing Hospital!¡± ¡°Me?¡± Xiao Yifei, hearing his name, widened his eyes and pointed at himself. ¡°Deputy Director He, what did I do wrong?¡± Seeing Xiao Yifei¡¯s innocent expression, He Shanming said angrily, ¡°You still don¡¯t know what you did wrong? Everyone is here to welcome Director Lou, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, except for you, snoozing in the back. You should know, the doctors representing our hospital to welcome Director Lou are the best of our hospital! I really don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re doing out here! You¡¯re truly casting a shadow on our hospital¡¯s reputation!¡± Looking at Xiao Yifei with disdain, He Shanming continued, ¡°An unworthy person participating only for show; how did someone like you emerge from the emergency room! Don¡¯t disturb my mood here! If Director Lou sees you like this, it won¡¯t do any good to his mood either! Get lost!¡± When Wang Changping saw He Shanming scold Xiao Yifei with the first sentence, his heart sank instantly! He turned his fiery gaze towards He Shanming; if He Shanming didn¡¯t want to live, he better not drag him down with him! Before Wang Changping could intervene, He Shanming spoke so swiftly that he finished berating Xiao Yifei before Wang Changping had a chance to stop him.
