(Seeking Recommendation Tickets, Seeking Collection)_1
New Affiliated Second Hospital, at the entrance of the Orthopedic Ward (Bed 43—45).
The door to the ward was closed, but even if one stood in the corridor, they could hear the noise coming from within.
There were three beds in the ward.
In the space remaining near the farthest bed by the bathroom, there were three disreputable-looking young men huddled around a simple folding bed playing poker, Landlord.
Among them, the tallest one seemed to carry the most authority.
His dyed blond hair stood erect, and he had a golden nose ring on his nose.
The other two, one had a shaved head, slightly cross-eyed, wore a sly grin on his face.
The other dressed very normally, but there was a spider tattoo on his neck below his right ear.
“Three Queens and a pair of 7s.
By the way, Brother Sang, it seems that Luo Yunhua isn’t willing to pay.
What should… erm… your uncle do?” the bald young man asked the man with the nose ring while playing his cards.
“Yeah, Brother Sang, Luo Yunhua is a stubborn one.
If he doesn’t pay, we will have worked for nothing…” The man with the tattoo was also somewhat lacking in confidence.
The man surnamed Sang, with the nose ring, sneered disdainfully, “Male Fish, Spider, do you believe it or not?
Within two days, Luo Yunhua will obediently bring the money to the hospital.
If not, his construction site won’t be able to start work!”
“That’s right, just who is Brother Sang?
That Luo Yunhua is nothing more than a contractor.
He will definitely bring the money within two days!” The bald youth called Male Fish, flattering Brother Sang with a smile, bootlicking.
Hearing the flattery of Male Fish, Brother Sang can’t help but feel even more proud, he arrogantly let out a laugh and asserted: “We’re only asking Luo Yunhua for 500,000.
You must remember that the surgery for my uncle and postoperative medication, plus loss of income would amount to almost 200,000.
Together with a little psychological compensation, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration!
After all, my uncle’s family of five relies completely on him for living.
This kind of spinal injury will delay his work for one or two years.
500,000 is not too much to ask!
Not to mention, we haven’t even charged him our hardship fee yet!
Don’t worry, I’ve also gathered a group of brothers.
If he doesn’t bring the money within two days, I will let this Luo Yunhua experience how formidable I, Zheng Sang, could be—” He said, a ruthless look flashing in his eyes.
“That’s right!
That’s right!
Our Brother Sang is very merciful!” Male Fish laughed and flattered contentedly.
The tattooed man called Spider didn’t say anything but grinned sycophantically.
Meanwhile, Zheng Shuguo, who was lying on the hospital bed, was weeping uncontrollably.
He didn’t want to deceive his boss out of his money.
He just wanted to have the surgery quickly and recover as soon as possible.
He needed to return to work and support his family.
His wife didn’t work because she needed to look after their three children.
So, the only breadwinner for the family was him.
The reason he fell from the construction site was that he had to attend to several projects and was over-fatigued.
One could say that Luo Yunhua had treated him kindly and fairly.
It had been a week since the accident, and there were no decision-makers from his family.
Yet, his nephew had first sent him to a small hospital like Kang Yang Orthopedics, where there wasn’t even any equipment for a CT scan.
He stayed there for two days before being transferred to the New Affiliated Second Hospital.
He felt wronged being pushed around by his nephew like this.
It was supposed to be just the second day after the accident when the surgery was to be done, but the surgery kept being postponed.
By today, it was already the seventh day, and still, there were no signs of any upcoming operation!
During these seven days, his nephew would intermittently bring a few hoodlums to squat in his ward, eating the gifts brought by his workmates, even using the money that was for his surgery.
He never thought about allowing his nephew to take care of him.
Yet, whenever he tried to persuade Zheng Sang to go back along with his friends, he would just end up being cursed by Zheng Sang.
Regardless of Zheng Shuguo’s plea, these young hoodlums just kept squatting at the hospital.
Not only did the other patients in the ward dare not speak up, even the doctors and nurses in the hospital were wary of them.
These men were not only disregarding their own images, they were also tarnishing his.
Causing countless people to mistake him of cooperating with these louts, just to swindle more money.
Thinking of what he had been through these few days, Zheng Shuguo felt a wave of fear and despair over whether he could actually be cured.
For a patient, the first thing that comes to mind should definitely not be money!
It should be health!
Listening to his nephew and the other hoodlums discussing how they will blackmail Luo Yunhua without a shred of guilt, completely oblivious of him, Zheng Shuguo was overwhelmed, his tears fell like rain, and he burst into tears.
Zheng Shuguo’s crying had finally angered Zheng Sang who had been engaged in conversation with his buddies.
He suddenly stood up and turned around, looking at Zheng Shuguo on the hospital bed with burning rage.
He cursed, “Cry, cry, what the hell are you crying for?
We are here to help you, idiot!
This is a dog-eat-dog world.
A crybaby gets the milk.
They only fear us if we make a commotion, then they’ll pay up.
Otherwise, they don’t give a damn.
Jesus, how could my family have a wimp like you?
And to think you’re my uncle.
Haven’t you learnt anything after all these years?
If it wasn’t for my dad, I wouldn’t give a damn if you fell to your death.”
As Zheng Sang continued his tirade against Zheng Shuguo, it seemed as if he was venting out some internal frustration.
“Um… uh… sir, he… he is your own uncle, and he’s a sick man.
You shouldn’t treat him like that.
A sick person needs… needs peace…” Mu Qiongfang, Yan Yan’s mother, couldn’t stand it any longer.
Despite her fear of these hooligans, she mustered the courage to speak.
Zheng Sang didn’t expect someone to dare defy him while he was in a rage.
He turned viciously toward Mu Qiongfang and bellowed, “Damn it!
You bumpkin!
If it weren’t for your pretty daughter, I would have slapped you already.
Keep pushing, and don’t blame me for raping your daughter.”
Mu Qiongfang was slightly frightened by this tirade from Zheng Sang.
These thugs were absolutely trouble!
If they only threatened her, she wouldn’t be that scared, as she felt that she didn’t have much time left to live.
But she was really afraid that they would take it out on her husband and daughter, and so she fell silent.
Facing the raging Zheng Sang, Mu Qiongfang hoped that Yan Yan wouldn’t come to deliver the food that day.
She didn’t want her daughter to face these hoodlums.
Had she known they’d be lingering at the hospital these few days, she would’ve asked her vegetable vendor husband to bring the food or simply been discharged.
Just as she was thinking this, the door to the ward opened.
Yan Yan, carrying a thermos full of food, walked in calmly.
Even her school uniform couldn’t hide Yan Yan’s delicate and pure beauty.
Her eyes were firmly fixed on Zheng Sang, and within those elegant eyes, there emitted a strong fury.
Even though Yan Yan was usually shy, when she heard Zheng Sang insult her mother and even threaten her with herself, she became enraged.
When Zheng Sang saw Yan Yan walk in, he was lecherously taken in by her beauty, his eyes roving over her face and full chest.
Seeing Yan Yan staring at him, Zheng Sang didn’t care and swaggered over to her, exclaiming, “Ah!
Beautiful Yan Yan is here!
I’ve been waiting for you!” He then reached out to touch her face.
Facing Mu Qiongfang and the other patients in the ward, Zheng Sang intended to take advantage of Yan Yan.
“Bastard, if you dare touch my daughter’s hair, don’t blame me for fighting you!” Mu Qiongfang, who had previously feared Zheng Sang, now saw him shamelessly attempting to bully her daughter.
Like a mother hen protecting her chicks, she picked up a fruit knife from the bedside table and struggled to get off the bed, ready to fight Zheng Sang.
However, Mu Qiongfang didn’t need to act.
The hand Zheng Sang had extended was suddenly grabbed by a man who had come from behind Yan Yan.
Like a butchered pig, Zheng Sang let out a tortured yell.
Everyone in the ward saw a handsome young man, or perhaps a teenager, had a firm grip on Zheng Sang’s extended hand.
Under everyone’s shocked gaze, Zheng Sang’s wrist quickly turned a deep purple.
Indeed, it was Lv Zhong who had appeared from behind Yan Yan!
Lv Zhong had already heard the ruckus caused by Zheng Sang from outside the ward.
Disgusted by his lack of morals and his insults toward the patients and Yan Yan, he became furious when Zheng Sang dared to harass Yan Yan in the hospital.
Lv Zhong immediately stepped forward, grabbed Zheng Sang’s wrist, and delivered a painful lesson.
Unsatisfied, he twisted and turned it, and using the dislocating technique, broke Zheng Sang’s right hand.
Using this technique, except Lv Zhong himself, no one else could possibly heal his hand!
“Ahh…” Zheng Sang cried in pain, and seeing that Lv Zhong was just a student and alone, he yelled at his buddies, “You… you guys better help.
Cripple… cripple this kid…”
“You dare to hurt our Brother Sang?
You’re asking for it!” Roared the skinhead, charging at Lv Zhong and aiming a punch at his jaw.
“You’re the one begging for death!” Lv Zhong sneered and planted a powerful kick into the skinhead’s stomach.
The skinhead felt as if he had been hit by a massive hammer.
A wave of intense pain spread across his body.
His dinner came spewing out of his mouth, and he was launched a couple of meters away, crashing into the tattooed gangster.
In an instant, they both rolled into a heap.
