Chapter 741: Don’t Worry

"Mr. Liu..."

Seeing that Mr. Liu was about to turn hostile, Doctor Niu and the others at his side trembled in their minds and quickly stood out, trying to plead for Xiao Yi, while incessantly giving him meaningful looks. Although they also disliked Mr. Liu, wishing he would just drop dead from his illness and that it would be best if Xiao Yi didn’t treat him, they all knew that this guy was no ordinary person. If they truly offended him to the extreme, it would bring endless trouble. Even if Xiao Yi didn’t want to treat him, there were plenty of ways to deal with him, without being so direct and confrontational.

However, Xiao Yi, who had always appeared very modest and keenly intelligent, and had just been wearing a smile on his face, now seemed to be possessed, as if he couldn’t see the constant winks from them. The smile on his face abruptly froze, and with an icy tone, he stared at Mr. Liu, "Are you threatening me now?"

"I... what if I am threatening you?"

For some reason, as he met Xiao Yi’s gaze, Mr. Liu felt fear for the first time, and uncontrollably took a step back. Only after retreating did he suddenly realize, why should he fear this young man? He steadied himself, and with an angry and embarrassed look, coldly glared at Xiao Yi, "Anyway, today, you have to treat me, whether you want to or not! I must be cured, and so must Mr. Zhao!"

"You’re right, in this world, there are some people I cannot afford to offend, but unfortunately, that person isn’t you, nor your Mr. Zhao!"

Listening to Mr. Liu’s assertive tone, Xiao Yi laughed again, his eyes squinting tightly, but his voice carried a bone-chilling coldness.

The moment his words fell, his figure moved too, going straight for Mr. Liu’s face with a forceful slap.

Everyone was stunned. No one had expected Xiao Yi, who looked so refined and had such a delicate-looking face, to actually get physical!

That included Mr. Liu and his three bodyguards, who were all stunned too. By the time they reacted, wanting to stop him or dodge, it was already too late. The bodyguards’ hands could not intercept Xiao Yi’s, and Mr. Liu’s instinctive duck did nothing; Xiao Yi’s slap, though it didn’t seem fast, was as if he had anticipated he would duck, and it connected squarely as he aimed for that side of his face.

"Smack!"

With a crisp and loud slap, the entire hallway fell silent, so quiet that the drop of a pin could be clearly heard.

Everyone was staring dumbfounded at Xiao Yi, and at Mr. Liu, whose cheek now bore the distinct red mark of five fingers, mouths agape and unable to utter a single word.

Xiao Yi had actually slapped Mr. Liu, with a slap most humiliating, right across his face!

This... was the literal meaning of a slap in the face! An actual, honest-to-goodness slap in the face!

"You hit me?"

Mr. Liu finally snapped back to reality, touched his cheek, feeling the burning pain, and with incredulous eyes looked at Xiao Yi, convinced that what he had just experienced must have been an illusion, that this young man couldn’t possibly have dared to hit him. In this world, in G City, there were very few who dared slap him!

"It seems not only is your body sick, but your mind is as well, and quite seriously too, otherwise how could you not know whether you’ve been hit or not?"

Xiao Yi looked at him pityingly and shook his head.

"You... you... get him, beat him up hard! Whatever happens, I’ll take full responsibility!"

Seeing Xiao Yi’s pitiable look, Mr. Liu felt as though his heart was cruelly stabbed, and he leaped up in a frenzy, his lungs feeling like they were about to explode with rage. When had he ever been mocked with such a tone or looked at with such pitying eyes?

Wasn’t everyone always respectful towards him, addressing him as Mr. Liu?

Here he was not only getting slapped, but also looked at with a pitiable gaze!

What right did this pretty boy have to pity him? He was Mr. Liu. He had always been the one to pity others; no one was qualified to pity him! He was determined to teach this boy how to spell "death"!

In this moment, he even forgot his own illness, that he still needed Xiao Yi’s treatment! He angrily issued his command to the three bodyguards.

"Mr. Liu..."

Doctor Niu and the other shocked hospital staff, who had not yet snapped out of their astonishment, suddenly jolted to attention upon hearing Mr. Liu’s words. They hurriedly and anxiously called out to Mr. Liu, imploring him to show mercy, suggesting they could talk things over peacefully.

In their eyes, the three bodyguards were tall and sturdy, while Xiao Yi was delicate and unassuming. Xiao Yi’s medical skills might be outstanding, but in terms of physical prowess, he would likely not stand a chance against even one of them, let alone all three coming at him.

But the current Mr. Liu was so enraged that he was nearly insane, not listening to their cries, or rather, completely ignoring them.

Without receiving a stop command from Mr. Liu, the three bodyguards rushed toward Xiao Yi without hesitation, each more aggressive than the last, all eager to show off in front of Mr. Liu!

What a joke, facing a "dumb" pretty boy like Xiao Yi, if they didn’t perform well, then when would they?

Would they really wait to go all out against those dangerous characters? That would be foolish!

Each of them had the same thought, so each of their punches was ruthless, since the boss had said that he’d take the fall for anything bad that happened. It wasn’t the first time they had done something like this, so they had no worries about repercussions.

Watching the three fierce bodyguards rushing toward him, a sneer curled up on Xiao Yi’s lips. If they hadn’t attacked, he wouldn’t have even bothered. In his eyes, people like them weren’t worth lifting a finger against!

However, since they were courting death, he might as well be the omnipotent one and fulfill their desire!

With a cold smile, Xiao Yi’s figure instantly moved too. His actions were very simple and efficient, shifting his feet just once, and then he delivered two punches and one kick in three different directions.

"Ah!"

Accompanying Xiao Yi’s movements, three squeals like a pig being slaughtered immediately rang out.

All three fierce-looking bodyguards were bending over, screaming, their faces twisted with pain.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

No one expected such an outcome. Looking at Xiao Yi who was undamaged and standing calm and unruffled in the field, then at the three screaming bodyguards below, they all gaped.

They hadn’t seen clearly how Xiao Yi had hit them, but... no matter what, this was just too unreasonable!

Under normal circumstances, it should be the three of them showing off, with Xiao Yi screaming in the middle of the field!

"You..."

Mr. Liu was the first to snap back to reality. Looking at Xiao Yi standing in front of him, eyeing him intently, Mr. Liu took another step back. What a joke, his three bodyguards had been taken down so easily; with his weak fists and skinny legs, he was well aware of his own limitations. What right did he have to not be afraid?

"Good, good, Doctor Niu, and you, remember this—we won’t let you get away with it. You failed in your attempts to save the patient and even brought trouble here. I guarantee you will be dismissed from your jobs! You will no longer need to be doctors from now on!"

Not daring to lash out at Xiao Yi and unable to handle this unknown brat who came out of nowhere, Mr. Liu eventually turned his anger toward Doctor Niu and the others, remembering that this guy was brought over by them.

Hearing Mr. Liu’s words, the faces of the doctors nearby turned deathly pale. They had worked hard to climb to their current positions to achieve their status. It would be a huge blow if they lost it just like that.

Even Doctor Niu and the others changed their expressions. Although they didn’t care about fame or fortune, if they couldn’t practice medicine, what else could they do in the future?

"That’s some big talk. I really want to see how you’ll dismiss the head of the hospital, how you’ll stop Doctor Niu and the others from ever being doctors again!"

A look of disdain appeared on Xiao Yi’s lips.

"You...kid, don’t get cocky, I won’t let you off!"

Mr. Liu, seeing the look of disdain on Xiao Yi’s face, felt his own face burn with rage, almost leaping to his feet in anger. But a scrap of remaining sanity reminded him that he was no match for Xiao Yi, and he managed to suppress his fury. Without staying any longer, he threw a venomous glance at Doctor Niu and the others, muttered, "Just you wait," and then turned to walk into the room.

Watching Mr. Liu enter the room, Doctor Niu and the others went pale. They all knew that Mr. Liu was going to tattle to the person inside. It seemed like they would soon face a terrible fate!

"Everyone, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I assure you that none of you will suffer any consequences!"

Xiao Yi looked at the doctors with pale faces beside him, a reassuring smile on his face.

The doctors took a deep breath upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words. They wanted to say something, but ultimately said nothing. After all, Xiao Yi hadn’t really done anything wrong this time; they couldn’t blame him, and at this point, blaming him wouldn’t help anyway.

But none of them believed Xiao Yi’s words, thinking that he was still too young, naive, and unaware of how society, how the real world, actually worked. (To be continued.
