Return to the City: The Strongest King

Lin Su'er quickly stood up and said: "Yes, Auntie, you are..."

The woman's face flushed with a hint of embarrassment as she said, "My name is Liu Dongmei. You can just call me Aunt Liu. I'm currently renting a place at your home."

"Huh? You're renting at our place?" Lin Su'er was momentarily stunned, clearly unaware of this.

Liu Dongmei said, "Yes, I've been living here for more than three months. Your dad has been very kind to me, and this time..." She paused to wipe her eyes and continued, "It's because of me that your dad was beaten. It's all my fault."

Upon hearing Liu Dongmei say this, Lin Su'er surprisingly felt a bit relieved and said, "Aunt Liu, I haven't been home for a while, so I don't know what's been happening. Please tell me everything that happened."

Liu Dongmei nodded and said, "I divorced a few months ago. Through an introduction, I rented the west room of your house. Your dad has always taken good care of me. However, my ex-husband is a scoundrel. Even after our divorce, he wouldn't let me live peacefully. A few days ago, he came and tried to force me to leave with him. I refused, and then he hit me..."

At this point, Liu Dongmei wiped her reddened eyes and continued, "Then your dad couldn't stand it, so he drove him away. As a result, my ex-husband thought something was going on between me and your dad, and that night he brought a few people to beat your dad up like this. If it weren't for me, your dad wouldn't be in this state."

Liu Dongmei's tears started to flow as she spoke with a choked voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to gather the medical expenses for your dad's treatment. If he becomes paralyzed, I will take care of him for a lifetime."

Lin Su'er sighed in relief but still asked worriedly, "Aunt Liu, you've been living in my house for a few months. How do you feel about my dad?"

"Big Brother Lin is a good person. Although others say...say he..."

Lin Su'er said, "It's okay, just go ahead and say it. I know what kind of person my dad is."

Liu Dongmei nodded and said, "Although everyone says he's not a good person, he's never mistreated me in the past few months. He's taken care of me and helped me with any difficulties."

"He didn't go out to do anything?"

"He's working as a security guard at a factory now, and he comes straight home after his shift. He doesn't go out at night."

Lin Su'er was genuinely surprised this time and said, "That's really rare."

Liu Dongmei's lips moved slightly, "But...now your dad's injury..."

Since she arrived, Lin Su'er hadn't asked about her father's condition, which made Liu Dongmei feel a bit uneasy. It seemed like the daughter wasn't showing much concern for her father.

Lin Su'er quickly understood and said, "Aunt Liu, don't worry, my boyfriend is a doctor. He will treat my dad, and it won't take long for him to get better. That's why I'm not worried about my dad's illness. What I'm worried about is whether my dad has relapsed and caused trouble again."

Liu Dongmei hastily said, "No, no, this time it definitely wasn't your dad causing trouble. He really got beaten because he was protecting me."

Lin Su'er asked, "Was it reported to the police? What about those who did the beating?"

Liu Dongmei sighed and said, "I've already reported it to the police. They caught a small member, but my ex-husband...sigh, he's very powerful. He's mixed up in the underworld, and he has a brother in a high position backing him. Reporting to the police is useless."

As Liu Dongmei said this, an expression of fear appeared on her face, "Before, when I went back to my family a few times, he trashed my family's place, so now I don't even dare to go home. This time I thought I would run far away, but who knew he would still chase after me. Once Big Brother Lin recovers, I'll leave far away, so I won't trouble him again."

Lin Su'er snorted and said, "My dad got beaten up. I won't just let it go like that."

At this moment, Lin Su'er was no longer the Lin Su'er she used to be. Back then, she was just a small nurse. Now, she was the director of a major hospital, and she exuded a different aura.

Liu Dongmei quickly said, "Lin Su'er, I'm not defending my ex-husband. I hate him to death, but he's really not someone to mess with. You mustn't act rashly. I'm already deeply sorry that Big Brother Lin got beaten because of me. If something happens to you because of him, then I...I would be even more guilty."

Lin Su'er said quickly, "Aunt Liu, don't worry, I know what to do."

At this moment, a nurse walked in, paused when she saw Lin Su'er, and then excitedly exclaimed, "Su'er, you're back!"

Lin Su'er used to be a nurse in this hospital, and she was gentle and well-liked. Most of the nurses had a good relationship with her.

"My dad is hospitalized, I'm here to see him."

"Ah, this is your dad? Why didn't you tell us in advance? We could have arranged a better ward for him. Oh, Divine Doctor Song is here too, you two have really made it."

Lin Su'er's cheeks flushed slightly, "I'm going to find the head nurse now."

Song Xiaodong's reputation in this hospital was extremely high. There wasn't a single doctor or nurse here who didn't know Divine Doctor Song. Back then, Song Xiaodong brought a great reputation to this hospital, but he was selective about whom he treated.

With Song Xiaodong and Lin Su'er here, everything was easier. In no time, Lin Su'er's father was moved to a special care ward.
