"I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, it's just that you're unlucky and always run into me." Ye Xingchen couldn't help but laugh: "It's really not my fault. Besides, when buying things, it's all about first come, first served. I got here before you, so the stuff is mine. You can't say anything about that, can you?"
“Making an enemy for yourself won’t do you any good.” Jiang Yongkang stared at Ye Xingchen, making no attempt to hide his anger.
“Yes, but since you are a guest of honor of the Ye family, it’s only a matter of time before we clash.” Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: “So we might as well offend you sooner rather than later, since it’s all the same anyway.”
"Fine, fine, Ye Xingchen, you've got guts." Jiang Yongkang laughed angrily, "Let's go."
The two brothers left in a huff, and Boss Wu breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly said, "Mr. Ye, the people of Mingshan are inherently somewhat evil and act without considering the consequences. You must be careful in the future."
"It's alright. Their purpose in coming to Yanjing is in conflict with my interests anyway," Ye Xingchen said leisurely. "If they behave themselves, fine. But if they don't, I don't mind giving them a ride. Let's go to the hospital."
"Okay, okay." Mr. Wu nodded quickly and ran out to get his car.
At the entrance of a hospital, in a corner, an old man wrapped in a tattered bed sheet lay on the ground.
He was emaciated, his lower limbs were swollen, and he was in a semi-comatose state, lying motionless in a dark corner.
People come and go around the area, and luxury cars come and go from time to time, but no one ever looks in their direction.
Because the major hospitals in Yanjing belong to the Tianhuaqiao area of Huaxia Medical, there are no higher-level hospitals here.
There are far too many people who can't afford medical treatment and whose conditions are beyond cure. It's enough to make people numb to it all. Human suffering seems utterly worthless here.
"Is this person dead? Hurry up and move him away, don't disturb others here." A fat-headed security captain walked over with several security guards, and he kicked the old man a few times.
The old man opened his eyes, his lips trembled a few times, and he wanted to speak, but because he had been ill for so long, even speaking a word was a luxury for him.
"If you're not dead, get out of the way. Leaders are coming to inspect, don't bother them," the burly security captain shouted.
Seeing that the old man didn't react, the security captain waved his hand impatiently and yelled at his subordinates, "Are you blind? Get this old man out of here! If the leaders see this, it will ruin their mood. Who among you can take responsibility?"
"Yes, Captain." Several security guards bowed and scraped obsequiously, quickly stepping forward, grabbing the things next to the old man and throwing them aside, then cursing, "Old man, aren't you leaving? Do we have to throw you out?"
As they spoke, they helped the old man up the steps and carried him down to the bottom. The old man lay on the ground trembling, unable to even crawl.
"Dad..." Defu, who had just arrived, was furious at the sight before him. He roared and rushed forward, using all his strength to tackle a security guard to the ground. Then he grabbed a brick from the ground and started smashing it into the guard's head without thinking.
Defu grew up doing farm work in the mountains. He was big and strong, and also had great physical strength.
Caught off guard, the security guard screamed in pain as several bricks struck him, leaving bloodstains on his head. He looked at the crazed Defu in terror and howled, "Help! Someone help me!"
"What are you guys doing? Quickly pull this madman away!" The security captain was taken aback.
Several security guards rushed forward and pulled Defu away from his frenzied state.
Defu then stopped and ran to the old man to help him up: "Dad, are you alright? I'm late. If they dared to bully you, I'll kill those bastards."
"Is this your father? If you want to die, die outside, don't die in our hospital. You little brat, you dare to hurt our people. I'll teach you a lesson today." The security captain was both shocked and furious.
He stepped forward to make a move, but was stopped by Boss Wu: "Friend, don't be too impulsive, or it won't do you any good."
Mr. Wu's expression was gloomy. Although he was now of a different status, he was still from a mountain village, and Defu was from the same hometown as him.
Seeing his fellow villagers being bullied like this, he was filled with rage.
"Who the hell are you? Do you know where you are? I'm warning you, the leaders are coming soon. If you dare to cause trouble here for this old geezer, you'll be in deep trouble."
"What kind of leader can stand by and watch a patient die in the hospital without doing anything? If he really dares to do that, then I guarantee his life is over." Ye Xingchen glanced coldly at the security captain.
Hospitals are places that exploit people and have little to do with saving lives. If they hadn't come today, this old man would probably have died here from his illness.
Hospitals are the most impersonal places, so there's no room for sentimentality here. It's truly a sad thing to watch someone die at the hospital entrance without doing anything about it.
"And who are you?" The security captain softened his tone when he saw Ye Xingchen and Boss Wu's imposing presence, but he still said, "The leaders are coming to inspect, so don't cause trouble."
*Slap!* Ye Xingchen slapped him across the face, making blood gush from his mouth: "What kind of leader is he? Let him come see me."
"You dare to hit me?" The security captain was furious.
He didn't care who Ye Xingchen was anymore, and turned around to shout, "Someone, call everyone here! Damn it, does this little brat think he can defy me?"
*Slap...* Ye Xingchen slapped him again, this time harder than before, making the guy spit blood all over his mouth.
Seeing that Ye Xingchen was fearless and kept slapping people, the group of security guards were immediately annoyed.
These guys usually flaunt their power and swagger around, but they're all cowards. When they run into a tough opponent, none of them dare to utter a sound.
"Call someone, call someone, I want..." The security captain struggled to stand up.
But Ye Xingchen slapped him again, sending him flying far away. This time, he used some of his true energy, making the guy see stars. He struggled on the ground several times but couldn't get up.
Ye Xingchen slowly walked up to him, watched him stand up, and then raised his hand to slap him.
"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!" The security captain was so frightened that he fell to the ground. His words were no longer as defiant as before. He said with a mournful face, "Brother, let's talk this out. Don't fight."
"I wanted to reason with you, but you wouldn't listen. You just had to act like a scoundrel." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "Now that I'm acting like a scoundrel, you want to reason with me? That's not how it works."
