Chapter 630: Ulterior Motives

"Call the police, hurry up and call the police for me. Arrest those who disturb the hospital order and have no respect for the law and kick them out of the hospital!"

The vice president was so angry that he trembled all over, his facial expression looking as if he wanted to devour someone.

"I am really sorry, directors..."

Liu Yuan had finally come to his senses. He had not expected Xiao Yi to take such a bold and reckless action. Hearing the furious tone of the directors, his mind trembled slightly too. Although they held some status, he knew that these people were not to be trifled with. Angering them and escalating the situation was not going to be good, so he hurriedly stepped forward, preparing to apologize on behalf of Xiao Yi.

But he had barely started to speak when he was abruptly cut off.

"Liu Yuan, this guy, who is he? If today’s surgery has any problems, you... you will bear full responsibility!"

"You... you... this is slaughtering lives, this is murdering lives!"

"......"

Looking at them, each with eyes wide in fury as if they wanted to devour someone, Liu Yuan felt his scalp tingle. He knew that this time they were truly furious to the point of tearing off their masks of civility.

"Leaders, please calm down. The person just now was Xiao Yi. Actually, I don’t fully understand who he is, but I do know that he has an extraordinary relationship with Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen holds him in high regard. He definitely wouldn’t harm Mr. Chen. The incident just now was indeed due to his impulsiveness. Here, I apologize to everyone on his behalf!"

Liu Yuan, bracing himself and forcing a smile, explained and apologized to the group of hospital leaders. While speaking, he deliberately mentioned Xiao Yi’s mysterious identity and Chen Jianguo’s respect for Xiao Yi.

"Director, someone just burst in. It didn’t cause any trouble, did it?"

Just then, accompanied by a series of swift footsteps, a group of security guards led by a head of security finally hurried over. The security guard who had been forced by Xiao Yi to open the emergency elevator was also there, his expression anxious. He had already been reprimanded, and if nothing had happened, it would have been okay, but if Xiao Yi had really caused trouble, he would likely bear significant responsibility.

Seeing the director and the vice president among other leaders, the chief security guard’s face changed. He had not expected to see the directors here, and if the person had caused any trouble, it could have really blown up into a big issue. Barely keeping his composure, the head of security timidly approached them and asked in a low voice.

"Hmmph, I don’t care who he is, but this time, if there’s any issue with the surgery, you will bear all the consequences. Just deal with it!"

The Director sternly glanced at the head of security, said nothing, looked towards the direction of the surgery room, and after a moment of struggle, eventually rationality prevailed. Xiao Yi had already barged into the surgery room; he couldn’t let these security guards storm in now to drag him out, which would only disrupt the ongoing surgery even more.

Moreover, he had discerned something from Liu Yuan’s words: Xiao Yi’s identity seemed complex, and even Chen Jianguo respected him, so perhaps it wasn’t necessary to cause a rupture over this incident.

But thinking back to how he had been humiliated in front of everyone, his heart still felt extremely unwilling and annoyed, his gaze turning back to Liu Yuan as he snorted coldly.

"Yes, yes, please rest assured, Director. I will bear all the consequences."

Liu Yuan knew they were at fault, and hearing the director mention giving up on pursuing Xiao Yi’s responsibility and escalating the issue, he quickly nodded vigorously, not daring to say much else.

Yet, in his heart, he kept praying, ’Young Master Xiao, Young Master Xiao, it’s fine for you to go and look, but please don’t touch anything!’

"A bunch of incompetents!"

Seeing Liu Yuan obediently submitting, the Director, although still somewhat irritated, finally felt a sigh of relief. At least now, whatever happened with Chen Jianguo had nothing to do with him, as if lifting a burden off his shoulders. Then, turning to see the group of security guards bowing their heads, the unvented anger found an outlet, and he fiercely scolded, "So slow in reacting!"

The security guards, knowing they were at fault, and seeing the Director’s displeased expression, dared not retort; each of them bowed their heads low, leaving the Director to scold them. After the scolding subsided with a stern "Scram!", they quickly vanished like pardoned prisoners but remained cautious not to wander too far this time. A few of them positioned themselves near a safety exit nearby—out of sight of the leaders, yet close enough to hear and respond immediately if called.

Time was slipping away, minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yi had been inside for more than half an hour. In the corridor at the entrance of the operating room, Liu Yuan’s forehead was beginning to sweat more profusely, and his expression grew increasingly tense.

He had already been nervous enough before, but now with Xiao Yi’s involvement, his anxiety escalated suddenly.

Although he had just assured the hospital’s leadership with absolute confidence that Xiao Yi would not harm Chen Jianguo and believed firmly that Xiao Yi would indeed not hurt Chen Jianguo, Xiao Yi’s recent behavior had made him worry. He truly feared that Xiao Yi’s impulsiveness might accidentally injure Chen Jianguo and affect the ongoing surgery inside.

Meanwhile, the hospital’s leaders next to him had all relaxed and were watching Liu Yuan, who was extremely nervous. Each of them couldn’t help but feel a kind of inexplicable pleasure inside, mocking in their hearts, "This is all your own doing. If you hadn’t brought such a fool here, wouldn’t the experts have probably finished their rescue efforts by now?"

What could such an unreliable young man possibly contribute inside, other than affecting the experts’ performance?

Without exception, each of them thought the same about Xiao Yi’s involvement—that the young man could play any part in aiding the emergency was simply impossible!

..................

At that critical moment when Liu Yuan was nearly suffocating with tension in front of the operating room at the First Affiliated Hospital of Z University, inside the Presidential Suite of a five-star hotel nearby.

A young man was sitting on a comfortable leather sofa, gently swirling his red wine.

"Are you sure everything is taken care of?"

The young man’s demeanor seemed somewhat nonchalant.

The person he was speaking to was also young and, just like him, strikingly handsome—a breathtaking young man. This person was none other than Li Zhengyi, who had just been slapped twice by Xiao Yi back on the campus of Z University!

Li Zhengyi’s expression was clearly not as carefree; his mood was understandably sour. It’s easy to understand why anyone who had just been slapped twice by a romantic rival, still bearing the handprints on his face, wouldn’t feel or look too good.

"When have our people ever slipped up?"

Li Zhengyi was already in a bad mood, and the young man’s words across from him made his expression even more unsightly, his tone carrying a hint of iciness, "You better take care of your own issues!"

After finishing his words and looking at the young man opposite him, whose demeanor and appearance were no less than his own, Li Zhengyi felt increasingly irritated inside and scoffed quietly to himself, What are you really? If it weren’t for your money, which landed me this task, would you be worthy to drink with me? You’re just a son from a Second-rate Family! How dare you question our capabilities?

"Young Master Zheng, cough, I didn’t mean that. You know, this matter is very critical, crucial for both you and me, so I had to be extra cautious and had to ask again," said the young man.

Feeling the dissatisfaction in Li Zhengyi’s tone, the young man was momentarily startled, coughed, and then dropped his earlier casual tone, apologizing with a hint of regret.

While speaking, he looked at Li Zhengyi whose face still bore the fading handprints, his expression gloomy. Inside, he snorted, It’s your own incompetence, hiding behind your dignity, failing in your romantic pursuit and getting slapped by a rival, yet you vent your anger on me—it’s absurd. If it wasn’t for me being cautious and not wanting to take matters into my own hands, do you think this money would have come your way?

However, remembering Li Zhengyi’s status, he dared not let these thoughts show and continuously put on a smiling face.

"Hmm, it’s best if that’s not what you meant. Don’t forget what you promised!"

Li Zhengyi glanced at the young man opposite him and snorted coldly.

"Please be assured, Young Master Zheng."

A smile crept onto the young man’s lips; money was no object for him, especially considering the vast returns that would come if his plans succeeded this time—they would be a thousandfold.

"That’s good to hear."

Upon hearing the young man’s words, Li Zhengyi’s expression finally eased a bit, but his face was still not pleasant, and his tone remained cool, "I have other matters to attend to today, and I won’t be hosting Young Master Li any longer. I suppose you must have many obligations as well?" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to cast your vote at qidian.com; your support is my greatest motivation).
