Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

Chapter 242 Conflict



Liu Ergou looked at the short, stout fellow in front of him, feeling a wave of exasperation.

This is truly ridiculous.

He hadn't wanted to cause trouble, but he never expected trouble to actively seek him out. He really didn't know what to say.

Glancing at the man, Liu Ergou sighed, shook his head, and once again tried to walk around him. However, the man refused to give up and blocked his path once more. This time, he reached out and grabbed Liu Ergou by the collar.

With a look of utter arrogance, he yelled, "Did I say you could leave? You dare walk away without my permission!"

"And after what I just said, you dare to ignore me? You can forget about staying in this town!"

Just as Liu Ergou was about to respond, the middle-aged woman who had fallen scrambled up from the ground and rushed over to the short, stout man.

With a sob in her voice, she said, "Boss Zhao, this has nothing to do with this young man! I don't even know him!"

"Please, whatever the issue is, direct it at me!"

However, upon hearing this, Boss Zhao let out a cold laugh.

"Heh, let me tell you, I don't care if you know him or not. This punk has offended me now, and the matter has escalated!"

"Today, I'm going to make him understand that after crossing me, Boss Zhao, he can't survive in this town anymore!"

Originally, Liu Ergou had wanted to stay out of it, but his expression darkened upon hearing Boss Zhao's words.

Oh, great. Just great. I really didn't want any trouble, but now it's come knocking on my door. Since that's the case, they can't blame me for what happens next.

Thinking this, Liu Ergou no longer held back. He pulled the middle-aged woman behind him and faced Boss Zhao with a mocking sneer. "Who forgot to tie their leash and let a creature like you run loose? How disgusting."

"You'd better get out of here right now, or don't blame me for calling the police on you!"

Boss Zhao was initially furious at the first part of Liu Ergou's retort, but he burst out laughing at the second. His laughter was manic.

"HAHAHA! HAHAHA! That's the funniest joke I've heard all year!" Boss Zhao roared.

"Call the cops on me? Go ahead and try! I'd love to see how the police will haul me in. Do you have any idea who I run with? I've never been arrested before; it would be a novel experience!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ergou subconsciously asked, "Who do you run with?"

Without hesitation, Boss Zhao puffed out his chest. "I'm with Sixth Master. How about that? Scared yet?"

Hearing the name "Sixth Master," Liu Ergou looked utterly baffled.

Sixth Master? Who's Sixth Master? Could he be Third Master Zhang's younger brother, the sixth in the family?

Seeing Liu Ergou's blank expression, Boss Zhao knew his threat had been wasted. This kid clearly had no idea who Sixth Master was, so it was pointless to mention him.

Just as he was about to say something else, Liu Ergou suddenly asked, "May I ask, between this Sixth Master of yours and Third Master Zhang, who is more formidable?"

At this, Boss Zhao's spirits lifted, and he began to boast.

"Third Master Zhang? What's he worth? In front of Sixth Master, he's not even a fart!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Although I don't know all the details, I have a general grasp of the situation. After Third Master Zhang made his name, he practically ran this town and even had some pull in the city. How could some unknown Sixth Master possibly compare? Of course, I can't rule out the possibility that this Sixth Master is some powerful outsider. After all, life is full of surprises, and you can never be too certain.

Just as Liu Ergou was pondering, Boss Zhao spoke again. "Alright, kid, I'm a magnanimous man. I won't lower myself to your level. Apologize to me now, and I'll let you go. Then you can just scram! You hear me?"

Boss Zhao's words only earned a cold sneer from Liu Ergou.

How interesting. I was just passing by and somehow got dragged into this mess. Now he's acting all magnanimous, as if he's the one letting me go. It's truly nauseating.

"You've got it backward, Zhao. The question isn't whether you'll let me off, but whether I'll let *you* off!"

"So let me use your own words of advice on you: apologize to me, fix the mess you started, and then you can scram. If you do that, I might just let you off the hook!"

As soon as Liu Ergou's words left his mouth, Boss Zhao froze on the spot, completely dumbstruck. It took him a good ten seconds to process what he had just heard. When he finally did, his first reaction was to burst into laughter.

"HAHAHAHA, you won't let me off?"

"HAHAHA, I'd like to see how you plan on not letting me off! I run with Sixth Master!"

"Offending me is the same as offending Sixth Master! Let's see who's more powerful than him!"

Just as Liu Ergou was about to reply, a weather-beaten man standing nearby suddenly tugged on his arm.

He whispered, "Young man, don't pay him any mind. You should leave now. If you just walk away, there's nothing he can do to you."

"This Sixth Master he's talking about is just some recent upstart with no real background. Leave now and there won't be any trouble. It's not worth trying to be a hero over a moment of anger. If you get hurt, it's not worth it. Your health is what's most important!"

When Liu Ergou was about to say something in response, the weather-beaten man waved his hand, signaling him to keep quiet.

However, Liu Ergou didn't take the man's advice and remained where he was.

Seeing Liu Ergou's silence, Boss Zhao assumed he was scared and began to mock him again.

"If you're scared, just say so!"

"I won't laugh at you!"

Listening to Boss Zhao's repetitive taunts, Liu Ergou couldn't help but clean out his ear.

This Boss Zhao just keeps repeating the same few lines. He has no creativity whatsoever.

He had no intention of dragging this out any longer. He said bluntly, "I'm not going to waste any more time with you. Since this Sixth Master of yours is so incredible, why don't you call him over? Let me see his esteemed self in person. That way, I'll know who to avoid in the future. How about it?"

Boss Zhao was taken aback for a moment by Liu Ergou's words, then burst out laughing.

"HAHAHA! I didn't realize you were so quick on the uptake, kid. Fine! Since you asked so nicely, I'll grant your wish. I'll get Sixth Master over here so you can witness his esteemed presence!"

"It'll teach you not to go around offending people!"
