Overbearing Immortal Doctor
Chapter 142 - 142 142 A Small Punishment

142: Chapter 142: A Small Punishment 142: Chapter 142: A Small Punishment Wu Xiaoyu’s flattering manner, along with Zhou Dong’s greeting of “Greetings, Leader,” left Wu Youliang and his wife momentarily stunned.

However, Wu Youliang quickly grasped the implications.

He held Wang Aifeng’s wrist to prevent her from speaking rashly.

Making a deep expression, he nodded and said, “Taking a few days off to look around.

So, do you run this restaurant?”

Zhou Dong immediately responded with an ingratiating smile, “Yes, it’s ours!

We had no idea you’d grace us with your presence—truly our fault, our fault!”

The group at the neighboring table was dumbfounded by the scene, staring at Wu Youliang and his wife in shock, unable to utter a single word.

The waiter standing next to their table asked, “Excuse me, who will be settling the bill?

The total is 5,680 yuan…”

Hearing the waiter’s words, the group finally snapped back to reality, but they were even more shocked and scared.

Is…this a leader?

The owner of such a large restaurant like Jiji was so deferential and flattering to these two—what else could they be but high-ranking leaders?

Had they really just insulted a leader like that?

Were they in for a great misfortune now?

Would they even get out of here in one piece today?

Zheng Hui, who had invited them out, was drenched in cold sweat, trembling uncontrollably as sweat poured from his forehead.

He had just cursed the leader to choke and die—now it seemed he was the one doomed, right?

What to do… What to do?

The waiter, seeing how everyone at the table was scared out of their wits and speechless, stifled a laugh and asked again, “So, who will be settling the bill?”

The few classmates Zheng Hui had invited thought that although they had said a lot of crap, they were merely accomplices.

If they apologized, maybe their punishment would be less severe?

While Zheng Hui was still uneasy, the others stood up and slowly approached Wu Youliang, their faces full of apology and guilt, saying:

“Sir… Sir, we were possessed just now and acted foolishly.

Please don’t take it to heart, don’t take it to heart…”

At this point, Wang Aifeng understood her son’s intent and, feigning annoyance, said, “Hey!

Someone cursed us to choke and die—wonder if their wish will come true?”

Upon hearing this, they broke out in a cold sweat, panicking.

One of them, inspired, pointed at the still-dazed Zheng Hui and said:

“It was him!

He cursed you, we were just blind to follow his nonsense.

Please, don’t take it to heart, please forgive us!”

Zheng Hui saw his companions heartlessly make him the scapegoat.

He quickly slid off his chair, legs trembling, and took a few shaky steps forward, crying as he pleaded:

“I truly didn’t recognize you.

Please, be the bigger person and forgive me!”

The other tables’ patrons, seeing Wu Xiaoyu and Zhou Dong so deferentially greeting Wu Youliang and his wife, calling them leaders, were also very shocked.

Now seeing the arrogant group begging for forgiveness, they felt vindicated.

The loudmouths who looked down on others had finally met their match!

Wu Xiaoyu glanced around and, seeing the other patrons watching, put on an angry expression and asked Zheng Hui and the others:

“What did you all do earlier?

How did you offend the leader?

Don’t drag my small restaurant into this—I still want to keep running it in Longhe Town!”

The trembling group, standing dumbly, stammered, “We… we said some disrespectful things… offended the leader, but we truly didn’t recognize him, didn’t recognize the leader!”

Zhou Dong, hearing their defensive tone, added, “You guys are something else!

Daring to offend a leader from the Provincial City?

Do you have a death wish?”

Hearing he was a leader from the Provincial City, Zheng Hui went even more pale and collapsed on the ground.

A provincial leader?

How high up was he?

Would he even survive this?

“Please, be the bigger person and forgive us, considering we didn’t know!” someone slightly calmer began to plead.

Seeing how scared they were, Wu Youliang, worried about causing a bigger issue if someone got sick from fear, calmly said:

“Alright, considering you didn’t know, I’ll let it slide this time!

But remember, no more misdeeds or cursing others, or next time… hmph!”

Relieved, they all thanked him profusely before fleeing, leaving Zheng Hui still terrified on the ground, repeatedly begging for forgiveness.

Wu Youliang glanced at his son, then told Zheng Hui, “Get up!”

Thinking the leader had forgiven him, Zheng Hui struggled to stand, his legs still weak and trembling.

Seeing him rise shakily, Zhou Dong snapped, “How dare you insult a leader?

Had enough of life, huh?”

“I… I was wrong, I was wrong!

Please forgive me, leader…I…” Zheng Hui sobbed, pleading.

Seeing his miserable state, Wu Youlang’s anger dissipated, and he sternly said, “I’ll let you off this time, but if you dare next time, see how I deal with you!”

Relieved, Zheng Hui sighed, thanked them profusely, and prepared to leave.

Wang Aifeng suddenly said, “Wait…”

This simple word was like a thunderbolt, nearly making him wet his pants.

He turned nervously and slowly asked, “What… instructions do you have?”

“Settle the bill!” Wang Aifeng said, rolling her eyes at him.

Quickly pulling out his wallet, Zheng Hui nervously said, “I only have…five thousand.

Can I pay the rest by card?”

Wu Xiaoyu walked over, smiled, and patted him on the chest, saying, “Forget it, considering the amount you’ve already spent, let’s call it five thousand!”

Seeing Wu Xiaoyu’s kindness, Zheng Hui felt as if he had met a Bodhisattva, thanking him profusely before limping away.

As Zhou Dong leaned closer to Wu Xiaoyu, he whispered, “That’s how you dealt with him?

Wasn’t that a bit too lenient?”

Wu Xiaoyu, with a somewhat sly smile, whispered, “I just pressed an acupoint on his kidney meridian hard—he’ll probably be impotent for two months!”

“Acupoint?” Zhou Dong looked at Wu Xiaoyu in disbelief before quickly clutching his own chest and saying, “Holy crap!

Really?”

Wu Xiaoyu gave him a meaningful look and a smile before walking back to sit beside his father.
