Cold sweat poured down Li Xingzhou's forehead. He clutched his wrist and curled up on the ground, in so much pain that even moving was difficult.
Lian Xiao didn't care about anything else. He frowned, grabbed the man, and pulled him up. This time, he pulled on the injured spot, and Li Xingzhou cried out in pain. He instinctively pushed Lian Xiao away, shouting, "What are you doing!"
Lian Xiao shrugged, looking nonchalant. "I'll help you up, why are you reacting so strongly?"
He looked Li Xingzhou up and down, his tone laced with sarcasm, "You didn't really hurt yourself, did you? In the winter in Northeast China, it's normal to slip and fall. Nobody's as fragile as you."
He abruptly changed the subject, his eyes filled with even more sarcasm, "Could it be that you're trying to extort money from me?"
After saying that, Lian Xiao took out a few ten-yuan bills from his pocket. "Here, is that enough for the medical expenses?"
Li Xingzhou trembled with rage, clutching his injured wrist, his face turning from white to pale. "You did this on purpose!"
If he can't even see this, then he's truly wasted his life!
I'm a doctor, and injuring my hand is a real big deal!
Not to mention, he has more important things to do now!
Lian Xiao put the money back in his pocket, then simply hooked his arm around Li Xingzhou's shoulder, so tightly that he couldn't break free. "I didn't do it on purpose, it was just an accident. Since you don't want the money, to express my apology, I'll personally take you to the hospital, is that alright?"
Before he could finish speaking, he didn't care whether Li Xingzhou agreed or not, and dragged him towards the hospital.
Li Xingzhou was pulled and staggered, his injured wrist swayed, and another sharp pain shot through him.
No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free from the restraints.
The surrounding soldiers didn't see anything wrong and began to speak.
"Dr. Li, you should go to the hospital."
"Yes, you're from the South, unlike us who are used to falling."
Now he had nothing more to say. If he continued to struggle and didn't go to the hospital, it would only damage the good reputation he had worked so hard to build up recently.
Lian Xiao winked quickly at Xu Xinghe, mission accomplished!
With him in charge, it's a sure thing!
Now Li Xingzhou can forget about leaving the military!
Xu Xinghe nodded with a smile. She had to admit, Lian Xiao was quite clever, knowing to use such a method.
He walked too fast just now, and I was worried.
Now we'll see if the people from Xinghua Village come knocking on our door.
At the hospital entrance.
Lian Xiao suddenly let go of her hand.
Li Xingzhou was being dragged along the whole time. He was unsteady on his feet and stumbled forward a few steps before regaining his balance. His injured wrist was in excruciating pain again, and his vision blurred.
Lian Xiao took a half step back, crossed his arms, and looked at him leisurely, a sneer playing on his lips. "We're at the hospital. Go get checked out quickly. I want to see how badly you've fallen. Don't worry, even if you become a cripple, the Lian family has plenty of money to pay for it!"
For the first time, Li Xingzhou felt what it meant to be burning with rage. He was so angry that he trembled all over and his face turned ashen.
He had never seen such a shameless person!
But unfortunately, he had no choice!
He was no match for Lian Xiao, nor did he dare to offend the Lian family.
This feeling of having anger but being unable to vent it is truly frustrating.
Even if he were to encounter Jiang Linchuan, he would know how to return the favor on the spot!
Li Xingzhou took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and warned himself that there would be plenty of opportunities to get revenge in the future, but not by tearing off the mask in front of everyone.
Having humiliated the Lian family, it will be even more difficult for him to continue working in the military.
He glanced coldly at Lian Xiao, then turned and entered the hospital, heading towards the examination room.
Although he couldn't retaliate, since Lian Xiao had already said he would pay, he didn't need to be polite.
The pain in his wrist was getting more and more intense, so it must be quite serious. It might even be fractured, which would cause Lian Xiao to bleed a lot!
Lian Xiao watched his retreating figure, scoffed softly, and followed him.
An hour later.
The test results are in.
Li Xingzhou fractured his wrist.
Lian Xiao curled his lip, his face showing no panic, only sarcasm. "Tsk tsk, so fragile. A grown man, dressed so thickly, and you break a bone from a fall. Li Xingzhou, I'm telling you, you'd better go back and work out properly, otherwise you'll be a gigolo forever!"
Li Xingzhou didn't waste words with him; reasoning with this kind of person was just a waste of breath.
He held his injured wrist and said coldly, "Medical expenses."
"Don't worry, I'm not short of money." Lian Xiao lowered his voice, "Consider it buying you a coffin lid."
“You…” Li Xingzhou’s eyes were bloodshot.
"Dr. Li, I heard you were injured. Are you alright?" A sweet, feminine voice came from behind, followed by hurried, chaotic footsteps.
When the nurses heard that Li Xingzhou was injured, they rushed over and felt heartbroken when they saw his pale face.
"Dr. Li, what happened? How did you suddenly get such a serious injury?"
"I'll go get you some painkillers right now, you have to hang in there."
Lian Xiao crossed his arms and looked coldly at Li Xingzhou in the group of women. "Don't talk like he's going to die. It's just a broken bone, not a serious illness."
Upon hearing this, the nurses all glared at him indignantly.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? A doctor's hands are so important! Saving lives depends on them, how can you talk like that!"
"Did you hurt Dr. Li? Oh right, you bullied Dr. Li before!"
"Apologize to Dr. Li right now!"
Lian Xiao raised his head disdainfully. How could there be so many fools in this world? "Apologize to him? Dream on! Are you all blind? How could you possibly like such a hypocritical scoundrel!"
The nurses were even more furious, and they all adopted a fighting stance, determined to persuade him and get justice for Dr. Li!
Just then, a doctor rushed in, looking flustered and panting heavily. "Dr. Li, something's happened! Someone's come to the door! They say you made a mistake treating someone and they want an explanation! Hurry up, or they'll burst in!"
Everyone present was stunned by these words.
Li Xingzhou's heart tightened, and he subconsciously clenched his uninjured hand, his face turning extremely pale.
How could he possibly make someone worse!
He has absolute confidence in his medical skills!
His first thought was chilblain cream. Could it be that there was something wrong with it?
No, that's impossible! It cured that little soldier!
Seeing his expression, Lian Xiao's mood instantly improved, and he slowly said, "Li Xingzhou, what are you waiting for? Didn't you hear what they said? You've ruined their health, so go and give them an explanation!"
