Chapter 16: Wrath
Lin Zhen walked back excitedly all the way until he came to the entrance of the alley in his neighborhood, and suddenly stopped.
Because he saw a mess on the roadside. A small cart selling breakfast had fallen over on the roadside. Steamed buns, soy milk and other things were scattered all over the ground. There were also some bloodstains on the ground.
He was very familiar with this little car. It was his father Lin Liye’s breakfast cart. It was this inconspicuous thing that supported Lin Zhen’s studies for so many years and was the foundation of their family’s survival.
It seems that this scene never happened in my previous life!
Lin Zhen was panicked. He looked around and saw his neighbor Aunt Wang among the crowd. He immediately ran over and asked, "Aunt Wang, what happened?"
When Aunt Wang saw that it was Lin Zhen, she hurriedly said to him, "Lin Zhen, you're back! Your father was beaten by some hooligans and is now in the hospital. He's at the Jisheng Chinese Medicine Hospital at the north end of our community. You should go and see him!"
Lin Zhen turned around and ran north without saying a word.
Jishengtang is a very low-class hospital nearby. All the people who come here are poor. Lin Zhen ran all the way in the early morning, at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, with every 100 meters within eight seconds. He ran all the way and arrived at the door of Jisheng in less than three minutes.
"Excuse me, there is a man named Lin Liye who was just admitted to the hospital. Where is he now?"
"Let me help you take a look."
The nurse at the door opened the notebook and took a look: "Lin Liye, right? His head is broken and two of his ribs are fractured. He has just been bandaged and treated. He is now in the surgical ward on the third floor. Go look for him."
Lin Zhen didn't even take the elevator. He ran up to the third floor in a few steps and went straight to the surgical ward.
Arriving at the ward area, Lin Zhen saw his parents at a glance.
Li Qin was sitting in the corridor holding an IV bottle in her hand, looking for a place to hang it, while her father Lin Liye was lying in the corridor with a dirty blanket under him, his head wrapped in gauze with a blood-red patch outside the gauze, and his eyes closed.
Lin Zhen felt a wave of pain in his heart. He ran over and took the IV from Li Qin's hand: "Mom! What's going on?"
Before Li Qin could answer, Lin Liye opened his eyes when he heard the voice.
"My son is back. Please tell me how your graduation exam went."
Because Lin Zhen had changed out of his martial arts uniform and was wearing his old clothes when he came back in the morning, Lin Liye didn't know that Lin Zhen had joined Liefeng.
Seeing that his father didn't seem to have a big problem, Lin Zhen felt a little relieved and forced a smile on his face, "It's good, Dad. I have joined the Liefeng Martial Arts School and become a second-class student. The martial arts school has signed a contract with me. Not only will I get a salary of 500,000 yuan a month, but I will also have a single-family villa for us to live in. They have even helped you two solve the pension problem. Someone will come to you to sign in the next two days."
Hearing Lin Zhen's words, Lin Liye and Li Qin's eyes sparkled. The huge surprise hit their hearts and they were speechless for a while.
"Well done, well done, you are truly my son, so good!!!"
Lin Liye's face flushed red. Due to excitement, the injury in his ribs flared up and he started coughing violently.
"Lao Lin, calm down. You are still injured. Why are you so excited? This is a good thing. You should be happy." Li Qin was also excited with tears in her eyes. She kept comforting Lin Liye.
Lin Zhen also hurriedly patted his father on the back, and it took a while for Lin Liye to calm down.
"Mom and Dad, tell me what's going on. And why are you living in this corridor? Why don't you go to the ward?"
"Alas, the nurse said there were no more wards. We didn't ask for a single room, we just wanted to stay in an ordinary ward, but the nurse also said there were no beds. I saw that there were clearly quite a few beds, but the nurse said they were all reserved. They are just bullying us poor people. I saw Liu Baiwan, who runs a big breakfast shop on the street, got his hand burned. He came later than your father, but he also stayed in a large single room."
Li Qin was just an ordinary woman. She felt very upset because she had been wronged. Now that she saw her son had become capable, she couldn't help but want to complain.
"Liu Baiwan? The one who's always competing with my dad?"
"That's him. He kept spreading rumors that the meat in your dad's buns was not good. He even pushed your dad off the street. He even sneered at us when he saw us."
Lin Zhen frowned slightly and said to his mother, "Okay, I'll ask about my dad's affairs in detail later. Now I'm going to find a ward for him. You wait for me, it will be over in a moment."
Lin Liye hurriedly said, "Son, don't go looking for trouble. We can't afford to offend those doctors and nurses. What if they charge us more for the medicine?"
Lin Zhen turned around and smiled: "Dad, today is different from the past. If you can't even find a ward, your son, a student of Liefeng Martial Arts School, will have no chance to continue."
Lin Liye was stunned for a moment, and then he truly realized that his son Lin Zhen had grown up and had become a superior person, a superior warrior.
Lin Zhen was just about to leave when a young man came over.
"Hey! Isn't this Lin Zhen? What happened? Is the graduation exam over? Which martial arts school accepted him? Why isn't he wearing a gi? Could it be that he didn't pass the exam?"
Lin Zhen looked up and it took him a while to remember this person.
Liu Le, the son of Liu Baiwan, is not a good person.
Lin Zhen didn't have time to pay attention to him. "Whether I pass the exam or not has nothing to do with you. Get out of the way. I need to find a ward for my dad."
Liu Le sneered: "Then you have to go quickly. As your brother, I have to remind you that you can only look for a large room with more than ten beds. The last single room is occupied by my dad, so you won't be able to find it."
"Then I really want to try it. My dad wouldn't stay in a single room today."
"Tsk! Does your family have the spare money? Even if you can squeeze it out, there are no single rooms left. If you don't mind getting rejected, just go ahead."
Lin Zhen ignored Liu Le and went straight to the nurses' station, opened the door and walked in.
"Who are you looking for? Change the dressing?" a nurse asked without even raising her head.
"I am Lin Liye's family member. Please find me a ward now. I want a single room."
The young nurse raised her head and glanced at Lin Zhen, with some surprise and disdain in her eyes.
Lin Zhen is about 1.78 meters tall, not particularly tall, but he has an upright posture and a stern face. Because of his practice of mental power, his eyes are clear and even a little dazzling when his emotions fluctuate greatly.
Although such a person is dressed simply, when he stands there, there is a strong masculine aura that hits you in the face, making people dare not look directly at him.
But Lin Zhen's clothes were too ordinary, and the nurse could tell at a glance that he was definitely a member of the nearby community, a commoner, and the lowest class of people.
No matter how good-looking you are, if you have no money or power, you will still be looked down upon. The nurse curled her lips and said, "There are no more single rooms. Not to mention single rooms, there are no beds in the general wards. Haven't you seen how many people are getting injections in the corridor now?"
"My father has a head injury and broken ribs. How can such an environment be conducive to his recovery? He needs a ward." Lin Zhen was already angry. Not to mention that he had joined a martial arts school now, he had at least reached the star realm in his previous life. Countless years of accumulation made him feel like he was facing ants when dealing with ordinary people. If he hadn't been worried about his father, he would have exploded long ago.
Unexpectedly, the nurse sneered: "Do you dislike the corridor environment? If you dislike it, you can go to another place. The Ice City Hospital in Jiangbei is good. Can you afford it?"
Facing the nurse's ridicule, Lin Zhen took a deep breath and said, "I saw a man named Liu who was later admitted to a single room than my father. So don't say there are no single rooms. Now let me ask you, can you make the decision about the ward?"
As these words were spoken, some of his mental energy overflowed uncontrollably. Although the speed was slow and the tone was low, it gave people a heavy feeling of oppression.
The nurse was a little timid instinctively. No matter how arrogant she was, she was just an ordinary girl. How could she withstand Lin Zhen's outburst? Her voice lowered a little: "If it's an ordinary ward, the doctor can make the decision. If it's a single room, the director has the final say."
"Take me to see your director."
Lin Zhen controlled his emotions; he really didn't want to waste any more words with this nurse.
The nurse stood up reluctantly and moved forward step by step.
"Hurry up!" Lin Zhen yelled, and the nurse shuddered and hurried forward.
Arriving at the director's office door, the nurse seemed to gain courage again. She knocked twice and then pushed the door open.
"Director Wang, there is a patient's family member here who insisted on finding a single room for his father. I told him that all the single rooms were sold out, and he ran to the nurses' station and made a scene. I was scared..."
As she spoke, the young nurse's eyes actually turned red, and she looked at Director Wang aggrievedly.
Director Wang was a middle-aged, wealthy man. He did not immediately comfort the young nurse, but asked first: "Who is the patient?"
"He's not a remarkable person. He's just the old man who sells buns and soy milk every morning in our community. His son also said that Mr. Liu's descendants all had single rooms, so why didn't his father have one?" The young nurse wiped her tears and said with disdain.
Hearing the nurse's words, Director Wang immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he saw Lin Zhen coming in, and his face turned cold.
