Chapter 91: I’m Not Good at Tolerating

“Young man, don’t act recklessly. If you can’t treat the condition and someone dies, you’ll be held responsible.”

An elderly man with a kind face advised Xu Shaochen from within the crowd.

“That’s right, Brother. Don’t be impulsive. A human life is no joke.”

“Even if you want to do something good, you need to know your limits!”

Others chimed in as well, since Xu Shaochen looked so young that it was hard to believe in his medical skills.

Xu Shaochen responded to their well-intended reminders with a smile. Then, he faced the middle-aged couple and said, “Why don’t you let me try?”

Sun Yaowen was also trained in martial arts, so Xu Shaochen could roughly guess what was wrong with him, though he needed to take his pulse and further observe to be sure.

“Who do you think you are, you brat? Bragging shamelessly and adding to the chaos? What if something happens—will you take responsibility?”

Before Sun Hai could speak, his wife, Zhao Yuan, lashed out at Xu Shaochen, her arrogance on full display.

Sun Hai stood silently by her side, clearly agreeing with his wife’s words. After all, Xu Shaochen looked ridiculously young.

Xu Shaochen frowned slightly, his expression darkening: “Ma’am, the reason I’m stepping in is that I know Old Master Sun.”

“Ha! Lots of people know my father. Who do you think you are? You’re just a brat. Where do you get the confidence to spout such things? If something happens to my father in your hands, not even ten of your miserable lives would be enough to atone for it!”

Zhao Yuan sneered, pointing a finger at Xu Shaochen’s nose with utter disdain.

Things were already dire, and now Xu Shaochen was causing more trouble. How could she not be furious?

Slap!

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Shaochen slapped her across the face, coldly stating, “Sorry, but I’m not good at tolerating things. And I have no patience for idiots like you.”

“You… you dare hit me? You filthy bastard, how dare you hit me!”

Feeling the burning pain on her face, Zhao Yuan took a moment to react, her eyes instantly turning red as she glared at Xu Shaochen.

“Enough! Isn’t there enough chaos already?”

At this moment, Sun Hai roared angrily. Although Zhao Yuan was still unwilling to back down, she only shot Xu Shaochen a venomous look and fell silent.

Sun Hai’s gaze shifted to Xu Shaochen, and he coldly said, “Consider yourself lucky that I don’t have the energy to deal with you right now. Get out of my sight immediately!”

If his father weren’t lying on the ground, possibly dying, Xu Shaochen wouldn’t have any good outcome for daring to slap his wife.

“If Old Master Sun dies, it’ll be because of you.”

Xu Shaochen said indifferently before stepping aside, watching the scene with cold eyes but not leaving just yet.

After all, he’d grown close to Sun Yaowen over the past few days. It wasn’t in him to let a trusted friend die without trying to help.

Soon, an ambulance arrived.

As soon as it stopped, several doctors carrying various medical instruments got out.

“Dr. Li, thank goodness you’re here. Quick, take a look at my father!”

A visibly agitated Sun Hai rushed towards a middle-aged man wearing glasses. His wife followed closely behind.

“It’s Li Hong! The expert from the city’s Third Hospital! The youngest medical expert in the country!”

Someone in the crowd recognized Dr. Li and exclaimed.

“It’s really him. Now that he’s here, the old man’s going to be fine.”

“Yes, at the very least, he should be able to stabilize the condition.”

Others gasped in awe. After all, Li Hong was famous due to multiple media reports—his renown wasn’t small.

To them, as long as Li Hong was here, Sun Yaowen’s life was no longer in danger.

Hearing the chatter around him, Li Hong’s face showed a hint of pride. Looking at Sun Hai, he confidently said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Sun. As long as I’m here, nothing will happen to your father.”

Then, he turned to the other doctors who had come with him, “Begin resuscitation immediately! Monitor Old Master Sun’s heart rate, blood pressure, and all other vital signs.”

There was no need for further instructions; the doctors had already started. They placed various tubes on Sun Yaowen’s body.

Li Hong then injected an unknown solution into Sun Yaowen’s system and set up an IV drip.

Everyone watched tensely. After all, this was a matter of life and death!

“Dr. Li, the patient’s vitals have stabilized. His heart rate is recovering.”

A doctor reported to Li Hong.

“Dr. Li, thank you so much!”

“Yes, if you hadn’t arrived in time, the old master would have been in real danger.”

Hearing this, both Sun Hai and Zhao Yuan let out a sigh of relief and repeatedly thanked Li Hong.

“Mr. Sun, Mrs. Zhao, you’re too kind. I’m just doing my job.”

Li Hong responded modestly, though the pride on his face was evident. After all, he was celebrated as a medical prodigy.

“As expected of an expert like Dr. Li! He stabilized the patient with just one move.”

“Indeed, the title of the country’s youngest medical expert is well-deserved.”

The onlookers didn’t hold back their praise and admiration for Li Hong.

Beep—Beep—

Suddenly, the alarms started blaring.

“Dr. Li, something’s wrong! The patient’s heart rate is dropping, and all his vital signs are deteriorating.”

A doctor urgently reported to Li Hong.

The Sun couple, who had just relaxed, instantly turned pale again, their hearts racing with fear.

The smile on Li Hong’s face vanished as he hurried over. But despite using every method he could, Sun Yaowen’s heart rate continued to decline.

“This… this… how is this possible?!”

Cold sweat formed on Li Hong’s forehead. How could this happen? He had been monitoring Sun Yaowen’s condition all along. This was completely unexpected, and now he was at a loss.

“Dr. Li, my father’s condition…” Sun Hai nervously asked, his palms sweating.

Li Hong swallowed hard and said bitterly, “Mr. Sun, I’ve done everything I can. I’m afraid Old Master Sun’s condition is critical.”

Boom! These words hit Sun Hai like a bolt from the blue. His face turned ashen, and his mind buzzed.

Beyond his deep bond with Sun Yaowen as father and son, the old man’s death would spell disaster for the Sun family.

Over the years, the Sun family had made many enemies. Thanks to the old master’s influence and network, they’d managed to survive.

If the old master passed away, the Sun family would be like a piece of meat lying in front of a pack of wolves, ready for anyone to take a bite.

At that point, the Sun family would likely cease to exist.
