Chapter 179: Even The Orthopedic Prodigy Can't Cure Your Son!
Green Vine City hospital.
Xiao Zhe was waiting outside the deluxe ward, looking pleased, legs crossed and a cigar in his mouth, puffing away.
A young nurse who was walking past saw the trail of smoke, and walked up to him and reprimanded, "Sir, this is a no smoking zone."
"Are you blind? Does this look like a cigarette?"
"My boss is smoking some high-class Cuban imported cigar! Considered yourself lucky for having the opportunity to take a sniff of it!" The guy with funny mustache snarled.
The nurse knitted her brows together, disgusted by this guy's derisive tone, and reprimanded, "It doesn't matter what you're smoking, it's not allowed. You'll be fined five thousand yuan!"
The guy with funny mustache's face darkened, "Motherf*cker! Your dean wouldn't even dare to touch our boss! How dare you be so impertinent! I will beat you to death!"
"I..." The nurse was taken aback, losing all color on her face.
The guy with funny mustache wouldn't let her get off. He raised his hand and was about to hit her...
"Wu, back off!"
Xiao Zhe suddenly spoke, and said dismissively, "Elder Fong, the orthopedic prodigy is treating my son. I'm in a good mood, just let it go."
Wu nodded, turned to the nurse and chided, "Consider yourself lucky! You just escaped death because my boss is feeling happy now! Get out of my sight!"
"You guys are big bullies!" The nurse's lips twitched in a fury, but she dared not offend the men, so she just walked away.
"Boss, there's some movement in the room!" Wu said excitedly.
"Alright..." Xiao Zhe got onto his feet excitedly, abandoned his cigar and fanned away the lingering smoke. His haughty look gave in to a more courteous and demure expression.
He only acted as such because Elder Fong would be walking out of the ward.
Xiao Zhe was that the kind of typical asshole that preyed on the weak but feared the powerful.
He was acting so arrogant when he bullied the nurse earlier, now he acted like a man without balls.
"Creek..."
The door of the ward was pushed open.
A group of doctors in white coats marched out, but they did not leave but stood outside the door, their faces filled with awe.
This group of people was Green Vine City's acclaimed orthopedic experts.
The only person who would be able to make them wait, collectively, was Elder Wong.
"Elder Wong! We have troubled you." Like an obsequious child, Xiao Zhe walked up to him, nodding and bowing.
Fong Tingshou was around seventy years old. His hair and beard had all turned white, but he was still very energetic. He looked like those deities in TV series.
"Boss Xiao, you have overstated it. I didn't help much in your son's case. I'm not worthy of the orthopedic prodigy title..." Fong shook his head. There was a hint of helplessness in his weary eyes.
"What?" Xiao Zhe flinched, he thought he heard it wrong.
"Elder Fong, what did you say?"
"I'm really sorry; there really is nothing I could do about your son's injuries. Perhaps you should consult better-qualified doctors..." Fong wore a pained expression on his face.
To have to repeat such a thing is painfully embarrassing.
"How could this be? Elder Wong, you must be joking." Xiao Zhe heard him clearly this time, but he simply could not accept it. "You are one of the best orthopedic surgeons in China! There has never been a case you could not solve..."
Fong's face sank, and he said, a little agitated, "Of course, I'm serious! Do you think I would make a joke of my own reputation? If I could fix your son, I would've already done it!"
His gold-standard title as the most highly skilled orthopedic has been tarnished today.
This was enough to ruin his day, but Xiao Zhe wouldn't let it slide.
The good-natured doctor could not help but reveal a hint of anger.
"Elder Wong, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant..." Xiao Zhe was aware that his words were untoward. He immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Please... May I know what's wrong with my son?"
"Your son's spine is distorted at one hundred eighty degrees. His tendons are completely crooked. I have never seen anything like that in my life! This is completely unheard of!"
Fong said helplessly, "Based on my experience, I have never encountered something quite like this!"
"What... What should we do..." Xiao Zhe pleaded, his face was drained of color, "Elder Fong, please tell me what to do! I only have one son, he is my one hope at continuing the ancestral line... With his penis in the back... How could he..."
"Ahem, there is a way to help your son. But it will depend on whether you're willing to do it or not." Fong seemed hesitant.
"Tell me! I will try anything!" Xiao Zhe was all out of options.
Fong nodded and said, "Whoever who hung the bell on the tiger's neck must untie it. Your only option is to seek the help of the person who caused your son to be like this in the first place!"
"What?! You want me to ask that bastard Chen Xiaobei for help?" Xiao Zhe jumped.
"I understand that asking your enemy for help is very difficult, but the person who hurt your son is a very talented person!" Fong continued, "His method of causing your son's injuries is a mixture of martial art and medicinal skill! Very impressive! Other than him, there is no one who can cure your son!"
"There really is no other way out?" Xiao Zhe's face twisted like he had just swallowed a lump of hot shit.
"I've already said what I needed to say. So, it up to you now, whether you want to protect your image or your lineage. Good day!" Fong walked away with the group of experts trailing behind him.
Leaving Xiao Zhe to brood over his options.
...
Green Vine Police Station.
Interrogation room number three.
"The winner rules and the loser warms the bed? Do you think I don't know what you're trying to do?" Luo snapped, "If you win, I'll have to warm the bed; if I win, you have to warm the bed. In the end, you are still taking advantage of me!"
"Hehe, what they say about girls with big breasts being dumb is wrong after all!" Chen grinned, his gaze lingering on Luo's proud, round breasts.
"You disgusting creature. How dare you look at my chest?! I will claw your eyes out!" Luo acted like an Ice Demon Queen and said coldly.
"Alright, alright. I won't look!" Chen pouted, thinking to himself: I had squeezed it a few times, not like your cup size is going to reduce if I stare at them long enough.
"Let's make a bet. If I win, you'll kiss me! If I lose, I will do whatever you want." Chen chortled.
"Are you out of your mind? How could you possibly win?" Luo retorted, "Fine, let's bet. If you lose, I want you to..."
Before she could finish, someone pushed the door of the interrogation room open.
A young police officer announced, "Inspector, Xiao Zhe is here!"
