Chapter 1418: Chapter 688: It’s You Who Insists on Talking About Evidence_2

Boss Zeng got the news pretty quickly, but it sure as hell wasn’t good news for him. At the time, he almost blew his top, waving his good arm weakly as he shouted, "It was that kid’s doing, what does their own people testifying count for..."

Normally, someone like him wouldn’t think of calling the police, but he did because someone else had phoned in, so he just went along with it—after all, this was Provincial City, not Wan City; he wasn’t worried about losing face.

Just as Old Hu guessed, he did it merely to annoy Yan Fei, not expecting it to have much effect. If it could just give Yan Fei a bit of trouble, that would be enough. But to end up with no effect at all and instead enrage himself, that was unforeseen.

The one who relayed this news to Zeng Zhaokun was his own brother, who said not too kindly, "When someone can bring in an academician to testify, even if he did it, it’s as good as not done..."

Boss Zeng cursed furiously, "An academician is a..."

"Slap!"

Before he could finish, his brother slapped him, "Don’t talk nonsense. Those are people with great achievements and contributions. Do you know how many people are in our country? There are less than a thousand people with that status. Compared to them, we are nothing. Hey, your arm, nurse, nurse, the IV has come loose, someone come quickly!"

Turns out Boss Zeng was too agitated just now. Flailing his arms, he’d forgotten about the needle and the IV drip, and now the needle had slipped out...

Hearing his brother’s words, Boss Zeng inhaled sharply, "Less than a thousand? That kid really damned..."

Don’t think a thousand isn’t much; considering the vast population, it’s really not many.

But the breath that Zeng breathed in was only a third because of the number, the other two-thirds because of the pain. He had been under anesthesia for surgery after fracturing his bones yesterday, but the numbness had long since worn off. When he stayed still, it was tolerable, but any movement brought excruciating pain!

It was just one of those times when everything went wrong; at lunchtime, the hospital nurses took turns dining, and when there were fewer people, it became incredibly busy. The nurse originally assigned to the ward wasn’t there, and instead, an old matron showed up. Seeing that the IV was almost finished but had slipped out, she was irritated, reinserting the needle while nagging, "Such a grown man still doesn’t know better. Can’t you bear it for a little while with the needle in? If you can’t even hold that in, then don’t go around picking fights for no reason..."

Zeng Zhaokun, already not the best tempered, and currently enduring pain as well as bad news, lost his patience after a few words, "What’s the big deal if the need slips out? Can’t you talk less nonsense? If you’re going through menopause, you shouldn’t come to work."

But as soon as the words came out, he saw the old matron tear off the just-stuck tape, casually pull out the needle, and start patting his arm seriously.

Zeng Zhaokun had a bad feeling, "Wasn’t it just in fine? Why’d you pull it out?"

"It looks fine, but it might come loose later. I’m readjusting the position to make sure it’s secure, to prevent any issues," the old matron said, expressionless.

By the time the old matron was on her fourth attempt, even Laoda couldn’t watch anymore, "Look, two tries should do it. Keep this up, and I’m going to your hospital management!"

"Go on, go ahead!" The old matron didn’t give him any face. "Hurry up and find them, have them fire me sooner. I was supposed to retire last year, but the hospital couldn’t spare the staff and forced me to stay another year. I can’t wait to go home and spoil my grandson!"

Dammit!

Both brothers nearly spit blood, and Zeng Zhaokun, who had just clenched his fist in anger, was slapped again, "It’s done, what are you gearing up for? Want to hit me or get stuck again a few more times?"

If it weren’t for the pain all over and the fractures, if it weren’t for this being in Provincial City, I’d get up right now and beat you, you old hag...

But Zeng Zhaokun only dared to think that in his head, not brave enough to say it out loud. Even if he had plenty of lackeys and his brother had some director-level status, it wasn’t worth squabbling with such people over such a minor status. Besides, it was just a needle stick, a minor issue, and making a big deal out of it would make people talk—there’s reason they say kids are a hassle!

And that’s not all. As the nurse was about to leave after the IV, she rolled her eyes, muttering, "Weren’t you going to find the leaders? Why aren’t you going now? Go quickly if you’re going, or I’ll have to be on duty tonight and come stick you again..."

The two brothers didn’t bother with a response, just watched the old matron walk away smugly with her tray.

As soon as the ward door closed, Zeng Zhaokun got fired up, "Dammit, if I don’t get back at that Yan bastard, my name isn’t Zeng anymore..."

Laoda was very annoyed as well, "Just bear with it for a bit, wait until this critical period is over at the end of the month."

Although Zeng harbored extreme hatred for Yan Fei, he agreed upon hearing big brother’s words, "Don’t worry, brother, I know what’s at stake!"

Laoda nodded, "Alright then, I’m off to work. Take care of yourself, I’ll send your sister-in-law over later."

"No need to bother my sister-in-law!" Zeng Zhaokun hurriedly intervened. "It’s not like there’s no one else, I’ll be fine."

Laoda thought for a moment, "Alright then. I’ll head out and instruct them again, have them call me immediately if anything comes up."
