Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

He had originally thought his elder brother's arrival would make this clueless country bumpkin kneel and beg for mercy. But to their astonishment, the so-called country bumpkin turned the tables on them. He had called on the local boss, Zhang San, and Cai Qiang was with him. Though Cai Qiang hadn't lifted a finger, his mere presence was intimidating. Moreover, his positioning was quite deliberate.

At this point, Boss Zhao's forehead was drenched in cold sweat. The look he gave Liu Ergou was filled with fawning and pleading for mercy.

However, Liu Ergou couldn't be bothered to say much to such a minor character. "I'll say it again," he stated simply. "Settle her business completely. Once it's done, get lost!"

Boss Zhao swiftly scrambled over to the middle-aged woman. "I'm sorry, ma'am," he said. "I was blinded by greed. I shouldn't have behaved that way! Rest assured, your husband's compensation of 300,000 will be in your account shortly. I'll transfer it right now!"

Having said that, he busied himself with his phone. A few minutes later, he showed the phone to the middle-aged woman. "The money has been transferred. You can check it at the bank!"

After everything was settled, Boss Zhao didn't dare say another word. He and his driver beat a hasty retreat and left.

Once Boss Zhao had gone, the surrounding crowd dispersed as well. After all, there was no spectacle left to watch.

Just as the crowd had scattered, Zhang San eagerly threw an arm around Liu Ergou's shoulders, pulling him toward his car. As they walked, he said, "Divine Doctor, it's not often we get to meet! Come on, it's my treat. We don't even need to discuss where to go. This time, we're not going home until we're drunk!"

Despite Zhang San's enthusiasm, Liu Ergou declined. He hadn't come to town alone this time; Feng Chunling was with him. If she were to witness this, it would probably complicate matters.

"Boss Zhang, I have other things to attend to today. Let's make plans another time," Liu Ergou said apologetically. "I'm not lying; I really do have something else to do. How about we exchange phone numbers? It'll make it easier to get in touch in the future!"

Hearing this, Zhang San nodded with some disappointment. Without saying much more, they exchanged numbers, and he turned and left. After Zhang San's departure, Cai Qiang also left.

Now, Liu Ergou was alone again. He didn't linger, quickly returning to where he had come from.

From a distance, Liu Ergou could see Feng Chunling standing there in her skirt. Before he could even speak, she spotted him and began waving her arms frantically. Seeing this, Liu Ergou hurried over to her.

Soon, he reached Feng Chunling and saw that she was only holding a few small plastic bags and nothing else. Seeing this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Indeed, her trip to town must have been a spur-of-the-moment decision. Otherwise, she wouldn't have bought so little.

Looking at Feng Chunling, Liu Ergou deliberately asked, "Auntie, is this all you bought? Are you sure you've gotten everything you need?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Chunling's face flushed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. "I'm done. This is everything!" she said, feigning calm.

Liu Ergou nodded, then turned without hesitation and started to head out of town. "Alright, if you're done, you're done. Now that you've finished shopping, Auntie, I'll take you back. If we wait any longer, it'll get too hot, and the trip home will be a hassle!"

As he spoke, Liu Ergou was already several steps ahead. This made Feng Chunling's eyelids twitch. How did this boy suddenly become so impervious to persuasion? He wants to go straight back now that we're done shopping? We absolutely cannot go straight back!

With that thought, Feng Chunling quickly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Ergou's arm, causing him to look at her with a puzzled expression. Seeing his confused look, Feng Chunling quickly fabricated an excuse.

"Er Gou, it's so hot today, and Auntie wants to find a place to take a bath! Look how sweaty I am! Could you book a hotel for me, please?"

Hearing Feng Chunling's words, a nearly imperceptible smile touched the corners of Liu Ergou's mouth. "Oh! A bath, Auntie? If you want a bath, shouldn't we go to a bathhouse? Why a hotel?"

Liu Ergou's question left Feng Chunling speechless. That's a checkmate. It's left me completely speechless. Her mind raced wildly, and after several seconds, she finally came up with a suitable response.

Feng Chunling gave Liu Ergou a seductive look. "At the bathhouse, you can't scrub my back," she said coquettishly. "But you can at a hotel. Are you silly, Er Gou?"

Liu Ergou was no fool; he understood perfectly what she meant. With things stated so plainly, he let out a sly chuckle, then turned around and started walking back into town. "So that's what you meant, Auntie! You should have said so earlier!" he said as he walked. "Come on! I'll go scrub your back right now!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Chunling quickly followed him, letting out a long sigh of relief.

「Meanwhile.」

Boss Zhao, who had just suffered a major loss, stood trembling before Brother Liu, his body shaking like a leaf.

"Brother Liu, I…"

Before Boss Zhao could finish, Brother Liu cut him off coldly. "I'm asking you, how did you offend that kid?"

Boss Zhao quickly recounted the entire incident. After listening, Brother Liu couldn't restrain himself any longer. He strode forward and gave Boss Zhao a fierce kick, cursing furiously, "Damn it! How did I end up with an underling as stupid as you! Putting Liu Ergou's identity aside, even if he were just some ordinary person, what did his passing by have to do with you?! You really had nothing better to do! Let me ask you, if I had been the one walking by today, would I have gotten a couple of slaps from you too?"

These words scared Boss Zhao so much that he staggered and nearly collapsed on the spot. Seeing his pathetic state, Brother Liu snorted coldly. "Idiot. I won't settle this with you today. Go think about how to get back the face you lost!"

With that, Brother Liu turned and left, leaving Boss Zhao slumped on the ground.

Boss Zhao remained on the ground for a long while before he finally struggled up. After a moment of thought, he took out his phone and made a call.

"Keep a watch on someone for me. Yes, the kid from today. Keep an eye on him! Notify me the moment anything happens!"
