Although Chen Xiao already knew from photos yesterday that Liu Zihao's distant cousin was Ye Qingxin, the campus belle from his university days, and he had secretly harbored feelings for Ye Qingxin during his five years at university, even dreaming once that Ye Qingxin had actively asked him to watch a midnight movie.
But he could guess with his toes that Liu Zihao and Gou Shunfang introducing Ye Qingxin to him was likely a trap. Even if it wasn't a trap, he wouldn't forget the feud with Liu Zihao's family because of Ye Qingxin.
"You..."
Clutching his burning left cheek, Liu Zihao trembled with anger, his face dark. But due to the reality of the situation, he didn't dare to utter a single word. Instead, he bowed and apologized with a smile:
"Since Brother Xiao doesn't like to hear me talk about my cousin, I won't mention her..."
Chen Xiao thought about how he was bullied by Liu Zihao every step of the way just a few days ago, even having his girlfriend snatched away. Yet now, Liu Zihao was like a dog groveling at his feet, begging for mercy. Feeling a surge of triumph, before Liu Zihao could finish speaking, Chen Xiao slapped him hard across the face again.
Gou Shunfang, unable to bear it any longer, gritted her teeth and said:
"Chen Xiao, as the saying goes, leave some room for maneuver, and you'll meet again in the future..."
"Those who humiliate others will be humiliated by others! Since your family of three has repeatedly insulted me first, don't blame me for returning it tenfold!"
Chen Xiao sneered coldly, then suddenly kicked the completely defenseless Liu Zihao to the ground. He then directly threw the property deed from the examination table into Gou Shunfang's arms:
"If you're not satisfied, take the property deed back, and take the old dog on the stretcher away immediately. Do you really think I'm willing to extend his life?"
Gou Shunfang was stunned speechless, completely dumbfounded. After a moment's thought, she even kicked Liu Zihao and then carefully placed the property deed back on the examination table:
"Dr. Chen is right, I know I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong. Please continue to perform acupuncture on my husband to save his life. Lives are at stake. Never mind beating or scolding, we would do anything, even be your beasts of burden, if you asked."
Chen Xiao's face was filled with contempt. He increased the speed of his needling, and in the blink of an eye, he had inserted six Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Zhen into Liu Jin Ya's body:
"I wouldn't even want you as my beasts of burden, I find you disgusting. Get out!"
Gou Shunfang and Liu Zihao's hearts, which had been hanging in their throats, finally settled. They hastily and clumsily lifted Liu Jin Ya on the stretcher and hurried away. Only when their feet had completely left examination room number eight did Liu Zihao finally couldn't help but turn back, baring his teeth and issuing a threat:
"You bastard surnamed Chen, our feud is now completely settled. If I don't make your life worse than death, I, Liu Zihao, will not rest until..."
"Seeking death!"
Chen Xiao was furious. Before Liu Zihao could finish speaking, he casually picked up a silver needle and chased out of the door with murderous intent.
"Ah—"
Liu Zihao never dreamed that Chen Xiao wouldn't even give him a chance to make threats. He screamed in fear on the spot, hastily dropped Liu Jin Ya on the stretcher, and ran towards the crowded waiting hall, covering his head and shouting:
"Help! Help! Dr. Chen Xiao in examination room number eight is hitting people..."
He had calculated it clearly. In front of so many waiting patients in the hall, Chen Xiao, no matter how capable, might not dare to use force on him. Even if Chen Xiao did, he had already escaped into the crowd, and it wouldn't be easy for Chen Xiao to catch him. In this way, even if he didn't act, Chen Xiao's reputation would be ruined.
However, Chen Xiao's pursuit speed was far beyond what he, with his injuries and epilepsy, could imagine. Before he could even get into the crowd, Chen Xiao had caught up, grabbed his hair, and lightning-fast, inserted the silver needle entirely into his nape. What he used was the Wu Du Mo Zhen that he had used on Leng Shan!
The force of the needle insertion was incredibly terrifying. From an outsider's perspective, it looked as if Chen Xiao had punched Liu Zihao's nape with all his might. Liu Zihao couldn't bear it and only managed to exclaim "Ah—" before collapsing to the ground.
Witnessing such a violent scene, the waiting hall instantly erupted. People scrambled to retreat and dodge, and the timid ones even fled in a stampede.
Gou Shunfang collapsed to the ground in despair. With her husband rolling off the stretcher on one side and her son groaning face down on the ground on the other, she was overwhelmed. The only thing she could do was wail loudly:
"Everyone, come and see! Chen Xiao, a doctor, is publicly assaulting people, woo woo..."
But the scene was chaotic, and no matter how loudly she shouted, she couldn't attract anyone's attention.
Chen Xiao, however, casually picked up the megaphone from the triage desk and spoke loudly:
"To all waiting patients and their families, please do not panic. This person I have subdued is actually a violent maniac with mental instability. I hit him for everyone's personal safety! Think about it, as a doctor on duty, how could I possibly hit someone in public? Wouldn't that be ruining my own livelihood?"
As he spoke, he directly kicked the howling Liu Zihao unconscious.
