“Humph.”
Zhang Yiran snorted coldly, stared contemptuously at He Gaoming and said, “I don’t care how you are related to that bitch. Get out of my sight immediately if you know what’s good for you!”
“We came here for you. Do you think you can get away by threatening us?”
He Gaoming shook his head and grinned sardonically. “Tell me, how are you going to settle this problem?”
“How to settle it?”
Zhang Yiran laughed as if she had heard something ridiculous. She said, “You and that bitch are the same. You nasty, low, vulgar scum! Don’t you know your place? Are you trying to blackmail me? I’m afraid you’ll die even before you get the money!”
Zhang Yiran ended her tirade.
She raised her chin, indicating to her guards that they could take action. The group of bodyguards immediately stepped up and sneered grimly. Several of them even took out expandable batons from their trouser pockets, eager for a big fight.
Seeing this, those cultivators, who were already seething with anger, clenched their fists and were more than ready to beat up the group of ruffians disguised as bodyguards. They were going to take Zhang Yiran to the hospital and make her apologize to Ling Zhenhua!
“Not yet!”
He Gaoming shouted to stop everyone.
Zhang Yiran got back into the car with a disdainful sneer.
She slid elegantly into her seat. But before she closed the car door, He Gaoming spoke up, “Are these people enough for any of us to have fun?”
……
He Gaoming shook his head and said, “I feel too languid to teach them a lesson. Er, Xiaoliu, finish off those trash.”
“Okay.”
A young man stepped out from the crowd.
From his fierce expression, it was evident that he had been trying so hard to suppress his anger. Now, he finally got a chance to attack.
He Gaoming chose him because he was the weakest among the group of more than 30 people. When all the others had broken into the fourth-class Martial Superior, he was the only one who remained at the peak of the third-class and came in last in his team.
Because of this, He Gaoming gave priority to him every time the team had a chance to fight. By doing so, he wanted to improve his combat experience and enhance his strength.
“Bastards, come at me altogether!”
Xiaoliu roared angrily. When the group of gangsters rushed up, he counterattacked mercilessly. Issuing one punch after another, he flattened them easily as if he were crushing bugs.
All the bodyguards were knocked down to the ground in the blink of an eye. They collapsed and rolled about in agony on the ground, so weak that they could not get up again!
In the back seat of the Mercedes Benz, Zhang Yiran witnessed everything.
She saw all her bodyguards being beaten to the ground by one single man, and her face changed drastically. She instantly got out of the car.
“You are all experts! Excuse me for not noticing it earlier.”
Zhang Yiran’s previous contemptuous and cold facade had been replaced by a charming and bright smile as she greeted He Gaoming, “I’m so sorry, dear experts! I didn’t know you were all top experts.”
“About that little girl, allow me to apologize to your sister-in-law sincerely. I really shouldn’t have hit the child and knocked her unconscious. It was my fault.”
“Don’t worry. I will pay for all the medical expenses of the child. No matter how much it costs, I will seek the best treatment for her.”
“I’ll compensate the child for the pain she suffered and also pay the wages of her parents for the time they took to look after her in the hospital.”
She stated her intentions, one by one, seemingly being very sincere.
He Gaoming and all his brothers were quite taken aback by the total change in her attitude, feeling that it was too good to be true.
A few brothers were not satisfied with this and insisted on taking her to the hospital to apologize. In the end, He Gaoming stopped them. After all, they needed her to prepare the payment for the compensation and look for better medical care. Since she had made her apologies here, they would definitely meet again and she could then apologize to the family. At this time, they should not be in such a hurry.
More importantly…
Ling Zhenhua was now murderously angry. Once he saw the woman at the hospital, he might lose control and injure her. At that time, things would be troublesome.
Eventually, He Gaoming managed to convince them that it was better not to take Zhang Yiran to the hospital for the time being.
“I’ve recorded everything you said.”
He Gaoming looked at Zhang Yiran as he showed her the recording pen in his hand, and said, “You’ve admitted everything. Now I’ll give you time to prepare the compensation and whatever procedures are required for the child’s treatment. But today, you must go to the hospital to apologize to the family. Otherwise… don’t blame us for taking revenge!”
“Of course, you can choose to call the police!”
After that, He Gaoming glared at her coldly, waved his hand, and turned to leave with everyone.
When she heard He Gaoming’s words and saw the recording pen in his hand, her expression turned ghastly.
Zhang Yiran’s demeanor, which had been so charming, changed to one of extreme gloom instantly. He Gaoming and the others left.
She looked a little ferocious as if she had been greatly humiliated!
“Beep! Beep! Beep!”
She took out her mobile phone, quickly clicked a few times on the screen, and then dialed a number.
“Uncle, I met some Wulin people like you.”
…
He Gaoming immediately rushed back to the hospital with the others.
At the hospital gate, they saw more than a dozen brothers led by Li Boqing standing outside the hospital. All of them looked very anxious and sad.
Even when they saw He Gaoming and his men returning, their expressions were still ominous.
“How’s the girl?”
He Gaoming’s heart skipped a beat. He realized something terrible must have happened, so he immediately went forward to ask.
“The child is undergoing some examinations. The doctor said that we should be prepared for the worse,” Li Boqing told him.
“Don’t be so upset. The results are not out yet.”
He Gaoming glanced at everyone and asked, “Where is Zhenhua?”
“He’s waiting for the results inside,” replied Li Boqing.
“Let’s go.”
Without saying anything else, He Gaoming immediately walked into the hospital and went to the examination room.
Outside the room, Ling Zhenhua and his ex-wife were pacing back and forth anxiously, waiting for the final results of the examination.
When everyone arrived, they were all silent.
“Crack!”
Half an hour later, a soft sound was heard.
The door of the examination room was pushed open.
Two doctors came out of the examination room.
“Doctors, how is it?”
Ling Zhenhua and his ex-wife immediately rushed forward and asked, “How’s our daughter?”
“According to our examination, this patient is already in a vegetative state. In this situation, we have no way to cure her. You can only hope for a miracle. We don’t foresee that she will wake up in the next three months. As for whether the patient will wake up one year, three years, or ten years later, I’m not sure, but the probability is less than one percent,” the doctor said.
This was a thunderbolt from the blue for Ling Zhenhua and his ex-wife.
They burst into tears in an instant!
“Brother He, where is she? Where is the woman who hurt my daughter? Her address! Give me her address!”
Ling Zhenhua, who couldn’t hold back his tears, rushed directly to He Gaoming and shouted angrily, his eyes blood-red with fury.
A ghastly murderous aura erupted from his body.
His look was terrifying!
If He Gaoming gave him Zhang Yiran’s information, Ling Zhenhua would definitely rush over and kill that woman instantly!
“Zhenhua, calm down! Zhenhua!”
He Gaoming quickly stretched out his hands, gripped Ling Zhenhua’s shoulder, and said, “It’s not completely hopeless. I know Fang Qiu. He can cure any illness. What’s more, we have the oldest. He is so powerful. Maybe there is hope!”
Everyone heard his comforting words clearly.
“Fang Qiu!
“Fang Qiu? The modern miracle-working doctor?”
Everyone knew him. At least they had been filming together for a month. With Fang Qiu’s medical skills, it was very likely that he could heal this little girl.
“And the oldest, John Doe!”
In Wulin’s younger generation, the oldest, John Doe, had undoubtedly the greatest strength. As a martial arts practitioner, everyone knew that internal Qi could not only considerably strengthen one’s body but could also heal internal injuries!
The child’s illness was obviously caused by internal injuries.
Therefore, John Doe, the oldest, might have a way to rouse her from her coma.
“Don’t get so agitated. We still have hope. Don’t give up!”
He Gaoming kept patting Ling Zhenhua on the shoulder to calm him down.
It took him a lot of effort to calm Ling Zhenhua down.
“Yes, hope, there is still hope!”
Ling Zhenhua murmured to himself. “There’s Fang Qiu and the oldest. We still have hope. My daughter will be fine. Definitely!”
Ling Zhenhua hurriedly ran to comfort his ex-wife.
“Don’t call the oldest now. We can handle this issue by ourselves!”
He Gaoming determinedly gritted his teeth and said to everyone, “I’ll call Fang Qiu now. He must have a solution.”
With this, he quickly took out his phone to call Fang Qiu.
“Hello?”
As the phone was connected, Fang Qiu’s voice could be heard.
“Where are you now?”
He Gaoming asked directly, “My brother’s daughter is in what doctors described as a vegetative state. Can you help us and take a look at her?”
“Where is she?”
“Qingyang Country Hospital in the northeast region,” He Gaoming answered.
“Okay, I’ll go there now,” Fang Qiu told him.
“Good.”
He Gaoming nodded and hung up the phone.
“How is it?”
His brothers came forward to ask.
At the same time, Ling Zhenhua and his ex-wife also focused their attention on He Gaoming.
“Fang Qiu has agreed. He’s coming now,” He Gaoming told all of them.
Then he walked to Ling Zhenhua and said, “Zhenhua, you and your wife should calm down a little. Fang Qiu’s medical skills are extraordinary. He will likely be able to cure your daughter. Don’t be too nervous. As for the woman who harmed your daughter, she has agreed to take responsibility. Besides, she has promised to come here and apologize to you today. Let’s wait for a while. Even if she doesn’t show up today, it won’t be too late for us to use other means.”
“Good.”
Ling Zhenhua nodded, then gritted his teeth and said, “I hope she doesn’t turn up!”
He Gaoming patted Ling Zhenhua on the shoulder and shook his head with a bitter smile.
The outcome was exactly what Ling Zhenhua had hoped for. After waiting for a whole day, Zhang Yiran didn’t turn up at the hospital, didn’t apologize, and didn’t even help to procure any future treatments for them. She didn’t even pay the fees for the previous treatment!
Her silence enraged everyone.
They all wanted to be law-abiding citizens, but she was forcing them to break the law!
“Save our little girl first!”
He Gaoming knew he had been fooled, and his face darkened. He said to all his brothers who were looking at him, “Fang Qiu is on his way. Let’s wait for him to come and see the little girl first, and then we’ll deal with her!”
