Chapter 470 Xiao Lin Returns
"That's right! He's my nephew, who was attacked on the street yesterday and is still lying in the hospital." The middle-aged man folded his arms with disdain, waiting to see how Li Jingyi would react.
"Are you talking about last night?" Another voice chimed in between the two, Ye Liqing lifted her head, her dark eyes sweeping towards the middle-aged man, who lowered his head in panic. "I asked if it was last night?" The woman, not getting an immediate response, showed a bit of impatience, regretting her impulse to intervene.
"That's right."
"Oh!" Ye Liqing responded and then fell silent, leaving the two feeling quite puzzled.
"You're Director Li Jingyi, right!" The man glanced at Li Jingyi's badge. "Now either have the Xiao man come back and deal with this, or I'll notify the police." The middle-aged man brushed the hair falling before his eyes back to the top of his head.
"What do you want to happen?"
"Simple, if we settle privately, kneel down in front of everyone and bow three times to my nephew, admitting your mistake." As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, an inappropriate sneer was heard.
"And if it's public?" Li Jingyi found this man increasingly repulsive.
"Then it's simple, call the police. Doctor, if this news gets out, it will affect his career prospects. Once he has a record, continuing to practice medicine will be difficult."
"Director Li, we can make it public, I can testify for Dr. Xiao, he was with me last night drinking tea." Ye Liqing's sudden words made the middle-aged man's anger rush high, but he restrained himself in front of the beauty.
"You said he was with you last night?" The man's face turned red, his expression darkened.
"Yes, at my place." Ye Liqing glanced at him. "I'll advise Dr. Xiao to handle this legally; your Sun Family is really good at framing and slandering."
"You..." The middle-aged man pointed at Ye Liqing, speechless, while Li Jingyi nodded wisely.
"Sir, if you are certain it was our Dr. Xiao's doing, then please call the police immediately. I've already notified someone to bring Dr. Xiao back, you can wait outside, if your phone isn't convenient, I can lend you the landline to dial 110."
"Hmph, we'll see." After leaving these harsh words, the middle-aged man squeezed through the crowd and exited without looking back.
"Thank you for your help just now." Li Jingyi dispersed the onlookers and closed the door.
"No need to thank me, Xiao Lin was indeed at my place yesterday." Somehow, this statement carried ambiguous undertones, a charming man and a woman like a fairy, together in one room, it really is hard not to imagine something happening.
Noticing Li Jingyi's wandering thoughts, Ye Liqing smiled silently.
After finishing a call from Wu Shuang, Xiao Lin learned that Lin Jiaqi had gone to the police station accompanied by Liang Feng, and had identified Zhang Teng as the person who assaulted her, adding to a query about her parents' case; this matter hadn't been filed in the station, so Wu Shuang complained on the phone for quite a while, until a new recording prompt interrupted, ending the call.
"Hello?" A call from the hospital, could something have happened to Dan Qing?
"Dr. Xiao, there's an uncle here saying you injured his family member, Director Li is handling it, hurry back!" Xiao Ning briefly explained the situation anxiously over the phone.
"Okay, got it." Xiao Lin hung up the call and rushed back to the hospital.
Entering the hospital, Xiao Lin felt unusual glances, and even people pointing at him, an unpleasant feeling as he hurried into the emergency office, not expecting to encounter an impossible person.
Their dark eyes locked for a moment, Xiao Lin nodded to her. "Director, are you alright?"
"What could happen to me, it's you who makes people worry." Li Jingyi sat on Xiao Lin's desk concernedly, handing him the white coat. "What exactly is going on?"
"Hehe, do you believe I did it?"
"I don't believe it!"
"I believe it!" Two women simultaneously gave their answers, resulting in opposing views.
"I don't believe Xiao Xiao would do such a thing, your hands were born to hold a scalpel." Since jointly completing a kidney transplant surgery with Xiao Lin, she's practically idolized him.
After Ye Liqing gave her answer, she smiled silently again, adding some water to her cup, the tea bag had lost its flavor; she was a woman who felt uncomfortable without drinking water, best immersed in water all day long to feel satisfied.
"Where is the person now?" Xiao Lin sighed helplessly at the two women. The difference between a mature woman and a girl is that you never know what they're thinking. While maintaining elegance, they cloud your eyes like a mist, making them impossible to see through.
"I just asked Xiao Ning to check, and they're on the fourth floor of the outpatient ward."
"Is it that serious?" Xiao Lin expressed surprise. This was too heavy-handed. Xiao Lin secretly mused that Flame Swallow left him this trouble on purpose. "I'll go take a look."
"Xiao Xiao, you better not go. The whole hospital is spreading rumors that you injured someone." Li Jingyi grabbed Xiao Lin and shook her head, suggesting it was best not to show up right now and wait until things calmed down.
"Sister Jing, the more it's like this, the more I should go take a look. I didn't do it, so why should I hide?" Xiao Lin kindly patted Li Jingyi's hand. "Moreover, that person claiming to be his uncle won't let it go easily, right? I have to face it sooner or later."
"Then I'll go with you!" Li Jingyi was still a bit uneasy.
"If you leave, what will we do here? It's okay, I can handle it myself." Xiao Lin comforted Li Jingyi while picking up his tools and walking past Ye Liqing. "Want to come along?"
Ye Liqing put down her cup and stood up, just as she had when she arrived—neither greeting Li Jingyi nor saying goodbye as she left.
"Why did you come?" The woman's arrival indeed surprised Xiao Lin. He had thought she might come, but not so quickly.
"If I didn't come, I wouldn't know how good you are at causing trouble." Ye Liqing laughed foolishly, looking completely different from before, her beautiful eyes twinkling.
"Switched to mugwort?" The sandalwood fragrance on the woman was replaced by the medicinal scent of mugwort, and Xiao Lin knowingly curled his lips.
"I always listen to the doctor, as long as it's good for me, I'll listen and use it."
"Seems you're not that foolish, you can still differentiate." Xiao Lin implied.
"Differentiating is one thing, doing is another." It's much easier talking to smart people, saving a lot of troublesome explanations. "You do seem to have a way with women, with so many around you. Can you keep up?" Another foolish laugh, and Xiao Lin felt a drop of sweat on his head. Once again, he asked himself if this woman could really have given birth to a child as big as Xiang Shou.
"Madam, you're too kind."
"Out here, I'm just an ordinary person. You can call me Qing." A wrist unexpectedly hooked around Xiao Lin's arm. "I really want to see the person who made you act on impulse."
"He's just someone who needs a lesson." Xiao Lin wanted to pull his hand back but hesitated and let her do as she pleased.
"The Sun Family is one of the four major families. Even though this Sun Mingwei is just a minor branch, he's still a Sun. You're looking for trouble."
"Is that concern for me?" Xiao Lin slightly bent his head, being a head taller than Ye Liqing, he whispered in her ear. "If you're really concerned, how about giving me that recording? Name your price."
"You're pushing it!" Ye Liqing glanced at Xiao Lin's suddenly warm expression but didn't express any objection.
"We're here." The only private room on the fourth floor, unused for a long time because it costs nearly four hundred a night. It's basic to stay in a shared room, which costs only forty a day.
"Go on in!" The loud voices couldn't be contained; one could hear the people inside shouting even from outside, even if you weren't intentionally eavesdropping. "Looks like you really got yourself into a mess."
"I'm Dr. Xiao. I heard you were looking for me." Xiao Lin casually shrugged, indicating he wasn't afraid to come over and solve the problem.
"Damn it, punk, it was you, wasn't it?" The middle-aged man, just as before, upon seeing someone enter, grabbed Xiao Lin by the collar without another word and pushed him in front of the hospital bed.
Sigh! Xiao Lin looked at the mummy-wrapped Sun Mingwei and sighed internally, thinking he'd asked for a pig head but ended up with a pig patty instead.
"Uncle, I'm just here to take a look, but that doesn't mean I did it." The collar was a bit tight, so Xiao Lin used one hand to hold the man's wrist, the other propping up against the bed frame. "After all, Minister Sun has always been good to me, so it's normal to check in. If I can be of any help, I'd be happy to."
"Stop with the lip service." The middle-aged man slapped Xiao Lin's head against the bed frame with a crack, then turned around to find the beautiful woman snapping photos with her phone. "What are you doing?" He immediately let go of Xiao Lin, attempting to grab Ye Liqing's phone.
"Uncle, are you going to hit a woman?" Xiao Lin, when released, swiftly caught the man's wrist again, lifting him a bit off the ground.
"Ouch! Ouch!" The middle-aged man balanced on one foot, wailing like a pig being slaughtered. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to recommend and vote on the monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
