Chapter 231: Chapter 231 Someone Can

It wasn’t just Ding Hailong and Miao Qingqing who were stunned, even Miao Xuanxuan was frozen in shock. Usually, when she played and joked with Song Xiaodong, he seemed completely harmless, and even though they had that incident that day, as long as Song Xiaodong had been a bit more forceful, her innocence would have been compromised. However, she had refused, and Song Xiaodong had never forced her, clearly showing he was a very reasonable man.

But the Song Xiaodong standing here now was so stubborn and dominant, brutally breaking a man’s leg.

This ruthlessness made Miao Xuanxuan barely recognize Song Xiaodong. However, she had to admit that what Song Xiaodong had done was extremely satisfying. For someone like Ding Haixing, having his leg broken felt incredibly satisfying, venting all the pent-up frustration inside her.

"What’s going on? Why all the noise?" At that moment, a man in his fifties came downstairs, his face dark as water, angrily shouting.

"Second Uncle, my leg! My leg! This guy broke it!" Ding Haixing immediately screamed like a slaughtered pig.

Ding Shanyue’s expression changed as he sternly demanded, "What happened?"

Ding Hailong was inwardly cursing but could only toughen up and go forward saying, "Second Uncle, I asked a friend to bring Doctor Song to treat grandfather, but Haixing thought the doctor I found was too young and didn’t trust him, wanting to drive him out, and then a verbal conflict occurred..."

At this point, Ding Haixing screamed, "Second Uncle, Second Uncle, these people insulted our Ding family, injured four of our bodyguards, and completely disregarded our Ding family. And my leg... my leg got broken by them."

Ding Shanyue looked towards Song Xiaodong and coldly said, "How daring!"

Song Xiaodong sneered, "So what?"

"You..." His words choked Ding Shanyue, who despite his fury, laughed and said, "It’s been many years since I last saw such an arrogant youngster like you."

Song Xiaodong merely smiled faintly, a smile that carried disdain, making Ding Shanyue feel incredibly frustrated. He said, "Do you realize what the consequences are for injuring a member of the Ding family?"

Song Xiaodong, looking straight into Ding Shanyue’s eyes, calmly said, "I don’t know what messing with your Ding family would result in, but I know that if anyone dares to mess with me, then I..." A fierce light suddenly burst from Song Xiaodong’s eyes as he declared, "I will definitely repay it a hundredfold!"

"Young man, are you threatening me?" Ding Shanyue’s voice grew colder.

"Your little Ding family, I really don’t know who gave you such confidence. Threaten you? You’re not even worth it!"

"Good!" Miao Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing, oppressed by the tense atmosphere and feeling like they were about to explode, but Song Xiaodong’s words instantly gave them a breakthrough, and they shouted in unison loudly in approval.

Ding Shanyue’s gaze swept over the two women. Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan both felt immense pressure, but now wasn’t a time for low postures; they both stood by Song Xiaodong’s side and instinctively each took an arm of his, chests out, locking eyes with Ding Shanyue, solidly aligning themselves with Song Xiaodong on the same front.

Ding Shanyue’s gaze once again focused on Song Xiaodong as he said in a deep voice, "Young man, that’s quite a bold statement. Tell us about your background and let’s see if you’re qualified to make such a claim."

At this point, he was also somewhat unclear about Song Xiaodong’s background. Although the Ding family was a colossal presence in this city, they were only dominant within this market. Across the whole province, there were countless entities stronger than them, and even more so throughout the country. Hearing Song Xiaodong’s bold words, he did not dare to make a rash decision.

Song Xiaodong said indifferently, "You... are not worthy!"

"You..." Ding Shanyue’s anger surged as a young man spoke to him with such a disdainful tone, which he could not tolerate.

At this moment, several people came down from upstairs, and Ding Shanyue immediately ceased speaking. Now the Ding family was primarily led by the Third Brother, that is, Haixing’s father, Ding Shanhuan. It was better to let him handle this matter.

At this time, Haixing’s leg was in severe pain, but seeing the grim expressions of the people coming down, he quickly stopped howling.

The faces of those coming downstairs were all quite grave. Elder Master Ding’s condition was very bad, and he could die at any moment. Although the Ding family was powerful, everyone here knew that it was Elder Master Ding’s influence that kept them so. If he were no longer there, the Ding family’s influence would greatly diminish. With the ability of the current Ding family juniors, they would not be able to maintain such prosperity.

"Professor Ning, is there really no way at all?" Ding Shanhuan quietly asked the elderly man in the middle.

He was Ning Chongqing, an elderly man over sixty years old with graying hair, a nationally renowned medical professor. Many of his students had become famous doctors. This time, the Ding family had spent a lot of money to bring him here to prolong the Elder Master’s life.

Ning Chongqing sighed softly and said, "The patient does not just have an illness, but his physical functions have reached the point of exhaustion. Western medicine is completely out of options now—it only involves administering some nutritional medications to sustain him for a few more days, unless..."

"Professor Ning, do you mean there is still a way?" Ding Shanhuan excitedly grabbed Ning Chongqing’s arm.

Ning Chongqing hesitated and said, "There is a way, but it’s not that I have the means; rather, I know someone who should have the ability. But this person is extremely difficult to invite."

Ding Shanhuan excitedly said, "No problem, no problem. No matter the cost, we will pay it. As long as the old master can live a few more years, the Ding family can bear any price."

Ning Chongqing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It’s not a matter of money. That person does not easily treat people. Even if the Ding family offered all their wealth, if he is not in the mood, he still won’t come. Moreover... with my reputation, I can’t even invite him, let alone obtain his phone number."

"Really?" Ding Shanhuan said in disbelief. "Professor Ning, you are regarded as a grand master in our country’s medical community. Is there really someone who wouldn’t even respect you?"

"Me... haha, never mind about respect, just being able to watch him treat someone would be my good fortune. If I could also receive his guidance, that would be the greatest honor of my life."

When Ning Chongqing spoke, his face showed longing, and his eyes unconsciously scanned the people in the living room. He had not taken any of these people seriously, but after his gaze moved past them, his body suddenly froze. His eyes fixed on one person in the crowd, unable to look away. Then, a look of ecstatic joy immediately appeared on his face.
