Chapter 10 - Xiao Bing, Ming Jin Level?

“You actually could recognize me.” Zhang Yizhi glared at Zhou Zeshan coldly. Just simple eye contact made Zhou Zeshan break out in cold sweat. That was the majesty of someone higher ranked.

“I… I had the fortune of attending the Hua Xia medical forum two years ago. And you were on the rostrum… You were the leading scholar at that time in the medical field in the whole of Hua Xia, I have been learning from you for all the time.” While wiping his sweat, Zhou Zeshan said with a smile. But his smile was so awkward that it looked worse than crying.

“What did you learn from me?” Zhang Yizhi said with a snort. “Did you learn how to be corrupt, bully others with your influence, disregard human lives, and take saving people as a joke from me?”

“N-no.” Zhou Zeshan said with his voice trembling.

“As an executive member and lifelong honorary president of Hua Xia Medical Association, I announce, from now on, your presidency of First People’s Hospital of Jiang Cheng is suspended. After I return to Jing Du City, I will report what you have done to all executive members of Hua Xia Medical Association. We will have a meeting to make a decision. Until then, you will be replaced by the vice president. Now scram.”

It had just come to Xie Lun that this old man who tottered around had such great power in the medical field. Although Zhou Zezhi’s power was limited in the medical field of Jiang Cheng, his rank was as high as a deputy director. But this old man suspended him with just a word.

However, what Xie Lun really worried was something else. He thought Xiao Bing was just an ordinary visitor. And since he arrived in his territory, he could fool him with ease. But he didn’t know that he was friends with such a big shot. Xiao Bing was supposedly not someone to mess with. “How dare he keep stirring up troubles for me. I will lock him up after he leaves the hospital.” Xie Lun thought to himself.

“Zhang… Mr. Zhang… I can explain, please… Mr. Xie is a great entrepreneur in Jiang Cheng City. He has donated to the hospital many times…”

Zhang Yizhi said indifferently, “Throw him out.”

The black bodyguard Feuillet behind him moved a step forward, grabbed Zhou Zeshan and threw him out of the door before stepped back behind Zhang Yizhi.

At this point, Zhang Yizhi looked at Xie Lun, and said, “I don’t know how influential you are in Jiang Cheng. But I can tell you now, here is a hospital where we cure the sick and save lives, not somewhere you can mount your high horse. Please leave!”

Xie Lun thought he could ride his high horse and kick these people out of the hospital, but now the tables had turned. He felt so humiliated that his face burned. And this was all because of Xiao Bing, a man who was supposed to be unimpressive to him. He looked to Xiao Bing aggressively and said with a sullen voice, “This will not end here. I promise that if you’re in Jiang Cheng for just one day, I will make you and your friends suffer until you beg for death!”

Xiao Bing laughed with coldly, and said in a voice full of scorn, “There are a few things that I need to let you know, your son deserved what happened with him, and you as a father asked for this shame. Your family had already pissed me off… Last but not least, you can threaten me, I don’t care. But I won’t let you hurt the people close to me…”

While speaking, Xiao Bing took a step forward with a terrifying air. The bodyguard behind Xie Lun who looked cold suddenly changed his expression, moved ahead hurriedly, and attacked Xiao Bing first by punching at his belly. Unexpectedly, Xiao Bing stood still and let the punch hit him.

Xie Lun’s eyes lit up with excitement, an evil smile on his face. His bodyguard was different from the ones Xiao Bing defeated before. He was a real master who ranked top 20 in the whole Jiang Cheng.

The bodyguard thought he would take Xiao Bing down with one punch. However, he only felt his fist hit steel. A horrific force then bounced back, making him feel like his arm burst open. Every inch of bone on his fist cracked, his flesh got badly mutilated, and blood splashed out in every direction.

The bodyguard said in a voice with both great pain and horror, “He is a Ming Jin…”

With a bang, he was blasted away, colliding against the wall of the corridor outside, and lay on the floor unconscious.

Xiao Bing took one more step forward, to stand close to Xie Lun and said in an icy voice, “I also promise before long, you will knee and beg me to forgive the conceit and ignorance of your whole family. You and your son will repent for what you have done today!”

Thinking of the words ‘He is a Ming Jin’ that the bodyguard screamed before he passed out, Xie Lun started sweating bullets. What Xiao Bing said also kept haunting in his mind like a curse.

Zhang Yizhi looked at the two nurses in the ward and said plainly, “Carry the wounded man away and get a doctor on duty to treat him.”

The nurses were already shocked silly and responded in a panic. But they weren’t strong enough to carry the bodyguard, so they hurriedly went for help.

Zhang Yizhi looked to Xie Lun again and said in a plain voice, “Now you should understand that you are not welcome here. My friend over here is quite impulsive. And I don’t want you getting hurt. So you can also leave now.”

Xie Lun’s face turned purple like an eggplant. He looked at Xiao Bing with eyes both fearful and angry. His lips quivered before finally squeezing out a word, “You’re so… You’re so… This won’t end like this. Sooner or later, my Xie Family will make you pay.”

With his vengeful parting words, Xie Lun left in a hurry.

The mother-daughter duo of Li Chunlan and Su Xiaoxiao had watched the whole thing. It was like a movie. In the beginning, the president had abused his power to bully others, but at the end, the whole thing turned around. One of them ran away with his tail between his legs, and the other got deprived of the presidency of the hospital. The ending was more than they could imagine. And it was all because of the man named Xiao Bing.

Li Chunlan grew to like Xiao Bing more and more, and she hoped Xiao Bing would be her son-in-law. With Xiao Bing helping the family a lot, Su XiaoXiao’s feelings towards him also started getting more complicated.

As Zhang Yizhi walked to Li Chunlan’s bedside, Feuillet grabbed a chair to put it behind him. Li Chunlan struggled to sit up, but Zhang Yizhi stopped her right away, “Lie down, what you need to do now is rest.”

“This is…….”

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “You can call him Mr. Zhang.”

“Mr. Zhang, thank you so much for what you just did.”

“Ah, no need to thank me so much. Let me take your pulse.” Zhang Yizhi sat down. After Li Chunlan reached out her hand, he put one finger on Li Chunlan’s wrist while both Li Chunlan and Su Xiaoxiao looked on, amazed. Checking pulses with only one finger was how Zhang Yizhi got this nickname. His medical skills were already reaching another realm. No one could ever surpass him, which is why he felt he couldn’t find more challenges in the medical field. With the addition of his eccentricity, he had stopped treating patients two years ago. Except for this time…

Zhang Yizhi closed his eyes and felt the pulses silently. He then opened his eyes, and said with a smile, “Your heart is recovering. I will undergo surgery for you in two days. Then you should recuperate to get better. But you should remember that you need to rest at home afterward. I heard that you run a noodle restaurant? You can’t work there anymore.”

Li Chunlan said gratefully, “Mr. Zhang, thank you.”

Su Xiaoxiao also said, “Thank you for helping my mom.”

“You are welcome. Xiao Bing and I are friends despite our generation gap. If it were others, I wouldn’t come even they offer me a high price. If anything, thank Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing, I need to go to settle the hospital’s situation, call for a board meeting, and deal with that shameful president.”

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “I’ll have dinner with you later.”

Zhang Yizhi thought for a second, and said, “You know I like my peace and quiet…”

“I know.” Xiao Bing had always known the solitude of this old man, “We’ll have some local food, just the two of us.”

After hearing that, Zhang Yizhi nodded with a smile. Clutching his cane, he then left the ward with Feuillet holding his arm.

After Zhang Yizhi left, Li Chunlan looked to Xiao Bing earnestly and said, “Lil’ Bing, this old gentleman must be someone important in the medical field, did you ask him to come?”

Xiao Bing nodded with a smile, “Aunt Li, don’t worry. He is not only friends with me, but also with Peiya. So I only mentioned it in passing.”

Li Chunlan finally felt relieved. Xiao Bing already saved her life once. She would owe him too much if Zhang Yizhi came to help all because of him. She was afraid she could never pay him back later on. She just didn’t realize that she didn’t have many days left.

Xiao Bing had already seen through Li Chunlan. Seeing the relief on her face, he said with a smile, “Aunt Li, take a good rest. Don’t worry about the surgery. Mr. Zhang will see to it. Since the noodle restaurant reopened now, I’ll go attend to it. Xiaoxiao, I will take over your shift tonight.”

Li Chunlan said, “No need, both of you go back to take a rest at night. The nurses will take care of me. What’s more, Mr. Zhang has already given his word. The nurses won’t dare to slack off.”

After a second thought, it started to make sense to Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Bing. And since Su Xiaoxiao shouldn’t neglect her studies either, they had both agreed. Xiao Bing said, “Aunt Li, I will now leave for the noodle restaurant. Xiaoxiao, see you tonight.”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t reply. But Xiao Bing didn’t mind. Although living with an unfriendly yet pretty girl could be indeed weird, people from Dragon Gate were all strange. Su Xiaoxiao was normal compared to the others. For Xiao Bing, it was no big deal at all. So, he left after saying goodbye.

When he walked to the staircase, he met Xiao Bei. Xiao Bei said in a low voice, “I didn’t make a move back then…”

Xiao Bing patted on his shoulder and whispered to him, “No need to explain, you did the right thing. Don’t expose yourself unless you have to. I need to get going. After I go back, you should find a place to get some rest.”

In a panic, Xie Lun left the hospital with his wife. In the car, Xie Lun looked depressed while his shrewish wife kept raising a fuss next to him.

“Hey, your son got beaten. And you are going home with me having done nothing. You didn’t even dare to argue back. Are you still a man?”

“Nonsense, what a woman like you knows?” Xie Lun finally burst out. He couldn’t stand his wife’s incessant complaining. He pointed at her shouting, “You bitch, if you keep talking, I will throw you out of the car!”

“You… you… How dare you call me bitch.” Zhang Junru grabbed her purse, unzipped it, took out her eyebrow pencil, her lipstick, her cash… She took out everything and anything to throw at Xie Lun’s face one by one. She cried and shouted, “I don’t want to live anymore, I don’t want to live… Let me die…”

“Don’t die here.” Xie Lun took away her purse from her hand and said with anger, “Don’t you know that kid was a Ming Jin Master? Don’t you know there are less than five Ming Jin masters in the whole Jiang Cheng City? This bastard made such a mess for me. What should I do?”

Zhang Junru had nothing left to throw. But she kept complaining in an unsatisfied voice, “So you don’t want revenge for your son? As a great entrepreneur in Jiang Cheng, you don’t feel ashamed that you can’t even protect your son?”

“Who says I don’t? You go home first. I need to meet someone.”

“Who are you meeting?”

“The empress of the northern underworld in Jiang Cheng. North Heaven Queen, the Peony Fairy!”

Through the window, Xie Lun looked towards the hospital getting farther away and showed the utter hatred in his eyes.
