Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

Before the crowd could disperse, the man with the quacking voice started shouting again.

"What do you think you are, daring to meddle in our business here!"

"You two, hurry up! Beat him to death along with this guy! If the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou's expression completely darkened. This man with the quacking voice was truly repulsive. He had ordered the bodyguards to hit Qian Xiaoling from the start, and now he was ordering them to kill him. Since that was the case, there was no need to be polite anymore.

Hearing the command, the bodyguards didn't hesitate. They raised their fists and charged at Liu Ergou.

Seeing the fist getting closer and closer, Qian Xiaoling cried out in alarm and buried her head in Liu Ergou's chest. But Liu Ergou showed no reaction as the fist approached, as if he were frozen in fear.

The bodyguard couldn't help but laugh internally. Looks like this big oaf is scared stiff. He's just a paper tiger, all show and no substance.

Just as the fist was about to land on his face, Liu Ergou's hand shot out and clamped down on it, freezing the bodyguard in place. Before the bodyguard could say a word, an irresistible force surged from his fist. He was powerless against it and could only watch in horror as Liu Ergou twisted his arm backward. A searing pain flooded his mind.

"AAAGH!"

The intense pain made the bodyguard scream.

Hearing his colleague's screams, the other bodyguard no longer dared to underestimate Liu Ergou. He immediately pulled a steel baton from his waist and brought it crashing down on Liu Ergou's head with thunderous force. It moved so fast that the baton was about to connect in the blink of an eye. This baton was made of pure steel; a blow to the head could easily cave in a person's skull. Clearly, this bodyguard was aiming to kill.

Yet, Liu Ergou remained unfazed. He simply raised his other hand and punched the incoming baton.

The bodyguard was stunned. Is this guy insane? My full-strength swing can shatter three bricks with this baton. What makes him think his fist can take it?

However, just as he was picturing Liu Ergou collapsing to the ground clutching a shattered hand, a dull thud echoed. The next second, something happened that left the bodyguard so shocked his jaw hung open. Liu Ergou's punch had snapped the steel baton in half.

Simultaneously, Liu Ergou finished breaking the first bodyguard's arm. A blood-curdling scream pierced the hospital ward.

"AAAGH! My arm! My arm!"

The bodyguard clutched his broken limb, writhing in agony on the floor. Liu Ergou then turned to the second bodyguard and sent him flying with a single kick. The man slammed into a wall, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted, foaming at the mouth.

Once it was over, Liu Ergou looked down at Qian Xiaoling in his arms. Her eyes were squeezed shut, her face a mask of terror. He couldn't help but gently pat her head.

"It's okay now. It's all over."

He then turned to the nearby nurses and doctors who hadn't left and shouted, "Someone take Qian Xiaoling and look after her for me, you hear!"

A young nurse quickly stepped forward and escorted Qian Xiaoling back into the crowd.

With that done, Liu Ergou turned his attention to the hospital room. Two bodyguards lay on the floor—one unconscious, the other screaming and clutching his broken arm. Further inside sat a middle-aged man whose face was covered in pustules. On the hospital bed lay an old man, eyes shut, emaciated to the point of being skin and bones.

When Liu Ergou saw the pustule-faced man, he couldn't help but frown. This man is absolutely disgusting. His face was covered in pustules of all sizes. In his panic, some of them had burst, oozing a repulsive yellow fluid. If not for the circumstances, Liu Ergou would have already stepped outside to vomit.

The pustule-faced man noticed Liu Ergou staring at him and started shouting again.

"You… you better not try anything! I'm telling you, I'm not someone you can afford to mess with! And neither is the old master on the bed! We have connections in town! Very powerful ones!

"Not only that, we have them in the county too!

"If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now, and I might consider letting this go. But if you lay a hand on either of us, I'll make sure you face consequences you can't handle! Even in death, you won't find peace!"

The young man's quacking voice grated on Liu Ergou's ears. That voice, combined with that pustule-covered face… It's utterly nauseating. But now was not the time to dwell on it.

After hearing the threats, Liu Ergou just let out a cold laugh. Connections in town? So what? He completely dismissed the claim about having connections in the county. If they really had pull, they wouldn't be in this situation. But the mention of the town piqued his interest. Who in this town could possibly have stronger connections than me? Fu Yan is the town mayor, and Duan Guanghao is the secretary. With those two giants in place, who could possibly make waves? Besides, the mayor and the secretary are trying to curry favor with me right now. How could some washed-up old fossil possibly threaten me?

Thinking this, Liu Ergou sneered and clenched his fist, which let out a series of sharp cracks. The sound made the quacking-voiced man shrink back.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou continued to walk forward. With every step, the sound of his shoes on the floor made the man's scalp tingle. He knew this tower of a man was now intent on killing him. He could feel a terrifying aura emanating from the hulk. This is the kind of presence I've only ever felt from soldiers in the army; it's impossible for a regular villager to have this.

"You… don't move! Don't come any closer!" the man shrieked, craning his neck.
