Chapter Index

    “Wait!”

    At that moment, Deng Tianwen spoke up to stop everyone, then turned to Hou Xiaoyan’s parents and said:

    “Mom, Dad, you both wait in the Car for now. I just said I would make that Liu guy kneel and invite you in.”

    Hmm, calling them Mom and Dad is getting more natural.

    Xu Shaochen was stunned by Deng Tianwen’s shamelessness.

    “This… isn’t this a bit too much…?”

    Hou Xiaoyan’s parents were simple people, and the suggestion made them uncomfortable. They felt it was inappropriate.

    Hou Xiaoyan wanted to speak but stopped. She also thought it wasn’t right to make someone do such a thing.

    “What’s wrong with it? Didn’t he say his knees were itching? I’ll treat it today!”

    Deng Tianwen said coldly. He was disgusted by the man’s arrogance, who abused his connections to act recklessly.

    “Alright, Uncle, Auntie, just listen to him. Go wait in the Car for a bit.”

    With Xu Shaochen’s reassurance, Hou Xiaoyan’s parents finally agreed and got in the Car to wait.

    Then, Xu Shaochen, Hou Xiaoyan, Deng Tianwen, along with Long Yi and Long Er, entered the hospital.

    A few minutes later, they arrived at the ward.

    Inside the ward, there were only three beds. Mr. Xie, his wife, and Doctor Liu were all inside.

    “Kid, you again? You…”

    When Doctor Liu saw Deng Tianwen, he was ready to mock him, but then he noticed Xu Shaochen and the two bodyguards, Long Yi and Long Er, behind him.

    He wasn’t stupid.

    One look at Xu Shaochen, and he knew he wasn’t an ordinary person. It wasn’t the right moment to speak rashly.

    “You must be Doctor Liu?”

    Xu Shaochen calmly asked while looking at him.

    Doctor Liu nodded nervously: “Yes, it’s me. What’s the matter?”

    “Heh, what’s the matter? The patient’s already lying in bed, and you still managed to throw them out? That’s impressive. Took the red envelope and made sure the job was done, huh. That’s some real professionalism!”

    “I just wonder if you’re worthy of the uniform you’re wearing!”

    Xu Shaochen chuckled, staring at Doctor Liu with a sarcastic grin.

    Doctor Liu’s face turned pale and red in cycles, his heart burning with anger. He glared at Xu Shaochen and said coldly:

    “You can’t just accuse me of taking red envelopes without evidence. Do you have any proof?”

    “Smack!”

    Xu Shaochen raised his hand and slapped Doctor Liu across the face. “Do I need evidence?”

    “You…” Liu felt the sting of the slap, his face burning with pain. His anger boiled, but somehow, he also felt scared.

    His experience told him one thing.

    People like Xu Shaochen, who act fearlessly, always have solid backing.

    And seeing Long Yi and Long Er at Xu Shaochen’s side made him feel utterly powerless.

    “Kid, what are you trying to do? Get out now!”

    Mr. Xie furrowed his brows and angrily scolded Xu Shaochen.

    Xu Shaochen glanced at him. “You don’t know who I am?”

    “Ha! Who do you think you are? Some kind of celebrity? Get lost, and stop strutting in front of me with your bodyguards!”

    Mr. Xie sneered, looking at Xu Shaochen with disdain and cursing him without mercy.

    Xu Shaochen understood. This guy didn’t know him, which only meant he wasn’t qualified to know him. Just another small fry beneath notice.

    But to Doctor Liu, this scene made Mr. Xie seem even more powerful than Xu Shaochen.

    In Doctor Liu’s eyes, Mr. Xie was a big shot. So if Mr. Xie didn’t know Xu Shaochen, then Xu was just someone insignificant.

    Plus, looking at his age, Doctor Liu assumed Xu was merely another playboy, parading around with his family’s bodyguards.

    With this thought, his confidence returned instantly. Pointing at Xu Shaochen’s nose, he righteously said:

    “I don’t care who you are, but you need to leave right now! Don’t disturb the patients! If their condition worsens, can you take responsibility?”

    “Smack!”

    This time, it was Deng Tianwen who slapped Doctor Liu’s face.

    “You’re asking for it!”

    Doctor Liu flew into a rage. “My uncle is the hospital director, and I’d like to see you dare mess with me!”

    Xu Shaochen, calm as ever, looked at him and said, “Call your uncle right now. I’m curious—is this hospital his personal property, or is it a public institution?”

    “Kid…”

    “I didn’t give you permission to speak, so shut up!”

    Mr. Xie tried to speak, but Xu Shaochen cut him off without hesitation.

    Seeing Xu Shaochen’s cold, merciless gaze, Mr. Xie suddenly became nervous and swallowed back the rest of his sentence.

    However, realizing he felt scared of a young man enraged him. “You dare tell me to shut up! Who do you think you a—”

    “Smack!”

    Before he could finish, Xu Shaochen slapped him hard across the face and said clearly:

    “I told you to shut up. That’s the second time. Do not make me say it a third time.”

    Mr. Xie swallowed hard. This time, he was truly cowed, though in his heart, he was determined to get revenge for this humiliation.

    Xu Shaochen turned his attention back to Doctor Liu. “Didn’t I tell you to call your uncle? Are your ears broken?”

    “Fine! Just you wait!”

    Doctor Liu gritted his teeth and, full of hatred, made the call. “Uncle, someone’s causing trouble in the hospital.”

    Shortly after, he hung up and coldly stared at Xu Shaochen.

    He couldn’t wait to see how this would end once his uncle arrived.

    “Thud thud thud thud…”

    Soon enough, hurried footsteps echoed down the hall, and a middle-aged man rushed into the room. “What’s going on here? Xu… Mr. Xu?!”

    The moment the man saw Xu Shaochen, he fell silent.

    Since he often mingled with Dean Fu at social gatherings, the middle-aged man recognized Xu Shaochen.

    Mr. Xu? Doctor Liu and Mr. Xie were both dumbfounded.

    “Uncle, what are you talking about? This is Mr. Xie.” Doctor Liu said, confused.

    But the middle-aged man ignored him. He respectfully approached Xu Shaochen and said, “Mr. Xu, what brings you here? Is one of your family members or friends receiving treatment in our hospital?”

    Wow! Witnessing this scene, both Mr. Xie’s family and Doctor Liu were utterly stunned. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

    “Heh, Director Liu, I wouldn’t dare let any of my family get treated here. I can’t afford the red envelopes demanded by Doctor Liu here.”

    Xu Shaochen said with a calm, indifferent tone.

    Cold sweat began dripping down Doctor Liu’s face, soaking the back of his shirt.

    The director’s expression stiffened as he sharply turned around and glared at Doctor Liu. “Explain yourself!”

    “I’ll handle this…” Hou Xiaoyan quickly stepped forward and explained the whole situation.

    The director’s face turned terrifyingly dark, as if it could drip water. He felt utterly humiliated.

    He had always assumed his nephew was simply a playful young man, but he hadn’t expected him to cause such trouble in his first month on the job.

    “Un… Uncle…” Doctor Liu stammered nervously.

    “Smack!”

    The director slapped him hard and scolded, “Don’t call me Uncle, you disgrace! Look at the mess you’ve made! You’ve shamed the entire Liu family!”
