Yang Yi glanced at him and said coolly, “Is that any way to ask for help?”
Li Zhenghai’s bodyguard’s expression darkened.
He snapped, “Kid, don’t push your luck!”
“President Li coming to invite you personally is already giving you a great deal of face!”
Yang Yi chuckled.
“Oh, it’s fine.
No need to give me face.
Why would a fraud who never finished his schooling like me be worth you lowering yourselves?”
With that, he turned to Old Zhang and said, “Grandpa Zhang, I’m heading out.
I’ll see you around.”
Seeing himself being ignored, Li Zhenghai’s anger flared.
“Yang Yi, if you don’t go, and something happens to Madam Qiao, you will be the one to blame.”
“I hear you know Su Changli of the Su Group?
Offend him, and things won’t go so well for the Su Group in the future!”
Yang Yi stopped in his tracks and turned to stare coldly at him.
“Is that so?
Is that what Qiao Haishan wants?
Then tell him to come and beg me himself.”
‘After all, Su Changli is Aunt Lin’s husband, and half of the Su Group belongs to Aunt Lin.’
‘No one is allowed to target the Su Group!’
“President Li, stop wasting your breath on this kid.
I think he’s just asking for a beating!”
As he spoke, Li Zhenghai’s bodyguard stepped forward.
“I’ll teach this kid a lesson!”
“Stop!”
Just as the bodyguard was about to make his move, a sharp shout rang out.
Everyone turned to see Qiao Haishan running over in a hurry.
Li Zhenghai’s expression changed slightly.
‘Qiao Haishan actually came after us himself!’
Qiao Haishan’s face was ashen as he snapped, “Li Zhenghai, what do you think you’re doing?!”
Li Zhenghai hurriedly tried to explain, “Director Qiao, this kid doesn’t know what’s good for him!
He doesn’t want to go save your wife!”
“So I was planning on having my man teach him a little lesson.”
Qiao Haishan’s expression darkened.
He then looked at Yang Yi furiously.
“Are you refusing to help, or are you just all talk?”
Yang Yi scoffed, “Let’s just say I’m all talk then.”
Qiao Haishan grew even angrier.
“What nerve!
Daring to impersonate a doctor right in front of me!
Do you think I, Qiao Haishan, am a pushover?”
Seeing the situation turning sour, Old Zhang quickly chimed in, “Sir, you’ve got Brother Xiaoyang all wrong!”
“He really has amazing medical skills!
I’ve been to so many hospitals for these legs of mine, and none of them could cure me!”
“He just gave me one acupuncture treatment, and I was immediately able to stand up perfectly straight!”
Qiao Haishan instantly calmed down, a look of shock on his face.
“Are you telling the truth?”
Old Zhang nodded repeatedly.
“If you don’t believe me, ask the owner of the stall next to me!”
Qiao Haishan then looked at the owner of the neighboring stall.
The man recognized Qiao Haishan and naturally didn’t dare to lie.
“What Old Zhang said…
it’s true…”
Old Zhang pointed at Li Zhenghai and said, “The moment this president here arrived, he started ordering Xiaoyang around with a high-and-mighty attitude.”
“He even said that if Xiaoyang didn’t go, he’d be blamed for whatever happened to Madam Qiao.”
“Then he threatened him with the Su Group, saying Director Qiao would deal with them later.
That’s what made Xiaoyang angry.”
“And then his subordinate was about to hit Xiaoyang.
Tell me, does that sound like someone asking for help?”
Li Zhenghai’s face alternated between pale and livid.
Seeing Qiao Haishan’s expression grow darker and darker, he knew things were bad.
Li Zhenghai’s bodyguard tried to argue, “Director Qiao, President Li was just anxious, that’s why…”
“Shut up!”
Qiao Haishan’s roar stunned the bodyguard into silence.
Then, he shot a cold look at Li Zhenghai.
“President Li, do I have a grudge against you?
Or does my wife?”
Li Zhenghai said frantically, “No!
Absolutely not, Director Qiao!
I…”
‘I’m in the pharmaceutical industry too.
If I offend Qiao Haishan, won’t my Yinghai Group be finished?’
“Shut your mouth.
I don’t want to hear it.
From now on, don’t even think about getting any of your company’s paperwork past me!”
Hearing this, Li Zhenghai trembled and nearly fainted.
After he finished, Qiao Haishan walked straight up to Yang Yi.
“Dr.
Yang, I was in the wrong before.
I apologize to you!”
With that, he bowed deeply, his attitude exceptionally sincere.
“You were right about my wife’s symptoms.
Her life is in danger at any moment now.
I’m begging you to save her!”
Seeing that Yang Yi remained silent, Qiao Haishan prepared to kneel and beg him.
Yang Yi raised a hand to stop him and said calmly, “Lead the way.”
Qiao Haishan said gratefully, “This way, please!”
Yang Yi nodded, then turned back to Old Zhang.
“Grandpa Zhang, see you later.”
Old Zhang watched Yang Yi’s departing figure and sighed, “See me later?
Ha…
After today, a big shot like you won’t even remember a nobody like me!”
…
Qiao Haishan anxiously led Yang Yi to where his wife lay unconscious.
When Hong Juntao and Xu Renfeng saw him arrive, their expressions turned ugly.
Even at a time like this, Hong Juntao hadn’t given up and continued to target Yang Yi.
“Director Qiao, you’d better think this through.
This kid is from a shady background; he never even finished middle school!”
Qiao Haishan was naturally under immense pressure, but seeing his wife on the verge of death, what else could he do?
“Dr.
Yang, my wife’s condition…
can you treat her?
How confident are you?”
Yang Yi glanced over and said coolly, “One hundred percent.”
GASPS—
The onlookers were all stunned.
‘One hundred percent?
This isn’t just a matter of being arrogant anymore!’
‘Even Divine Doctor Xu was helpless, yet this kid dares to make such a wild boast!’
Everyone gave him a look of doubt.
Yang Yi, however, was calm and composed.
When Qiao Haishan heard this, he wasn’t excited.
Instead, he grew even more afraid.
‘What kind of doctor would dare claim one hundred percent certainty when treating a patient?’
‘Only an amateur would dare to boast like that!’
Hong Juntao let out a sharp laugh and shouted, “This kid says he’s one hundred percent confident!
All you bosses heard him!”
“If he fails to cure her in a bit, we absolutely cannot let this kid get away!”
He deliberately avoided mentioning the medical license, secretly hoping that Yang Yi would fail and Madam Qiao would die on the spot.
‘That way, Yang Yi would be saddled with the crime of ‘intentional homicide’!’
“You good-for-nothing, can you shut your mouth?”
Yang Yi shot him an impatient look, then said to Qiao Haishan, “Find a way to shut this kid up.
He’s noisy.”
Hong Juntao yelled, “Who the hell do you think you are, ordering Director Qiao around—”
Before he could finish, Qiao Haishan shot forward and—SLAP!
SLAP!—sent two resounding slaps across his face.
“Didn’t you hear me tell you to shut up?!”
Qiao Haishan’s roar stunned everyone present.
Hong Juntao stood frozen, looking at him in disbelief.
Xu Renfeng, however, was displeased.
He said coldly, “Director Qiao, this kid is unreliable.
Your wife’s only chance is to rush her to the hospital immediately!”
Qiao Haishan ignored him and looked at Yang Yi instead.
“My wife’s life is in your hands.”
Yang Yi stepped forward, swept a glance over Xu Renfeng, and said coolly, “You’re not good enough.
Step aside.”
Xu Renfeng was so angry his eyes turned dark and gloomy.
He stiffened his face and moved to the side.
‘I’ll just wait and see how this kid plans to resolve Madam Qiao’s fatal emergency!’
