Well, there was no need for a physical fight at all.
As long as Feng Yinchen deployed his venomous tongue as his opening move, everyone else would probably have to concede defeat. His sharp rhetoric, with every single word hitting the critical vulnerability, was simply unrivaled in its vicious eloquence.
Yu Se finally understood why the other man had brought him along when going out: as long as a doctor was present, Feng Yinchen’s tongue-lashing wouldn’t result in irreversible consequences.
After all, no matter how sharp the rhetoric was, it couldn’t penetrate medical defenses. Yu Se silently lit a symbolic candle for Xiao Junyao, reminding himself that he was merely an obstetrician and gynecologist.
Xiao Lin charged into the private room first, glaring fiercely and anxiously at Feng Yinchen. The wide-open doorway revealed that Xiao Junyao had not been provoked to the point of collapsing onto the floor.
However, his expression was ungraceful. He was supporting the tabletop with a wide palm, his brows tightly furrowed, his gaze revealing a hint of displeasure and bitter resentment.
Yu Se honestly suspected that to be able to anger such a solemn and dignified person into this state, Feng Yinchen must have proposed building a hearse lane right up to the other party’s front door.
He hurriedly put down his medical kit, pulled a bottle of Danshen dripping pills from it, and handed them to Xiao Junyao, only to be directly shoved away by Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin said angrily, “Our Xiao family came with one hundred and twenty thousand points of sincerity to discuss an intermarriage with the Feng family, but looking at it now, there’s no need for that anymore!”
As angry as Xiao Junyao was, he hadn’t signaled that this marriage alliance should be completely ruined, right up until Xiao Lin blurted out that severance-inducing statement from his mouth.
Xiao Junyao, who originally didn’t plan to take the Danshen pills, reached out and took the few small pills Yu Se held in his palm, swallowing them into his mouth like chewing beans, his gaze instantly turning gloomy and dark.
He truly was his good nephew.
The effect Feng Yinchen wanted to achieve had already been accomplished. After all, the Feng family’s ancestral motto was to avenge every grievance.
The Xiao family had treated the Feng family with disdain from the very beginning of their attitude. As the most core soul figure of the Feng family, Feng Yinchen was bound to strike back.
He didn’t care about the reprimands of a mere junior like Xiao Lin. Stroking Yisman on his shoulder, he said with a light chuckle, “I hope the Xiao family always remembers these words; otherwise, bear the consequences at your own risk!”
Although Feng Yinchen’s voice was soft, it carried an unquestionable threat, resembling a cold wind that made one involuntarily shiver.
Yu Se had originally thought his beauty was peerless, but at this very moment, he also felt that a clear equal sign could indeed be easily drawn between beauty and danger.
Xiao Junyao clenched his fists slightly, unable to refute his own nephew’s face right in front of Feng Yinchen. He could only bite his teeth to pieces and swallow them along with blood into his stomach.
Stroking his little black snake with a look of supreme smugness, Feng Yinchen turned around and left. Yu Se cast a glance at the utterly ink-black-faced Xiao family uncle and nephew, and took the initiative to follow the former’s pace.
Feng Yinchen had a small quirk: if he poisoned someone through language, his mood would remain peaceful for the entire day, and he would also be exceptionally easier to get along with.
After the two of them got back into the car, Feng Yinchen asked Yu Se, “Where is Dr. Yu spending the night tonight?”
Yu Se pondered: no matter what, he would not go back to the Feng family residence to spend the night with him. He found a very suitable excuse: “Ever since I went out on a house call yesterday, I haven’t gone back at all, and the clothes on my body need to be changed.”
To make future work easier to handle, Yu Se had to explain, “Moreover, I serve several other employers simultaneously; I am not a resident private family doctor.”
The words had been stated very clearly and completely.
For some reason, he could faintly sense that Feng Yinchen’s good mood had been ruined. The man muttered in a low voice, “That’s right, doctors are both the most loyal and the most disloyal profession in the world.”
Yu Se felt that he was complaining, but it was also possible that the employer felt he had spent money yet failed to receive a more fixed and exclusive service, making him prone to grievances.
For the sake of his career happiness, Yu Se had to tactfully add, “A profession like ours only needs to appear when the employer has a demand. As long as Young Master Zhile has a need, even in the middle of the night I will arrive at the very first moment, so please rest assured, Mr. Feng. Maintaining the physical and mental health of my employer is my duty as a professional.”
“Hmph,” the beauty let out a soft nasal sound, carrying an endless variety of lingering emotions. He didn’t seem satisfied with this answer, turning his head slightly to look out the window with a posture that was neither overly intimate nor detached. “Young Master Zhile hasn’t written you a check.”
That sentence still carried a bit of hidden meaning.
However, Yu Se was unwilling to indulge in wishful thinking, nor did he repeatedly ponder over all these miscellaneous odd remarks from Feng Yinchen.
Although Yu Se’s heart was moved by Feng Yinchen’s appearance, it was far from reaching the level of falling in love.
At the intersection, Yu Se got out of the car and politely watched the vehicle drive away.
A faint breath of tension twisted in the bottom of his heart.
It wasn’t directed at Feng Yinchen, but rather at Xiao Lin.
He always felt that Xiao Lin’s gaze toward Feng Yinchen today was extremely fierce, and he had even split a portion of his anger toward himself.
In truth, whether it was Xiao Lin or Feng Yinchen, they completely belonged to the same category: high-and-mighty power-holders who, once they paid remuneration, always felt they possessed the right to dominate everything about that person.
Considerate service and absolute loyalty.
Sure enough.
The moment Yu Se hailed a cab and arrived at the entrance of Kang Kang Male Obstetrics Private Hospital, Xiao Lin’s call had already dialed in.
The other party stated it very clearly as well: he had decided to send his pampered little husband to the most advanced hospital abroad to await delivery, so the funding from Yu Se’s end would be completely cut off.
Although Xiao Lin didn’t explicitly spell it out, the underlying meaning was precisely that.
Fortunately, Xiao Lin didn’t take back the hospital’s usage rights or the room full of expensive medical equipment.
Not because he was merciful, but because taking those things back would be completely useless and as worthless as garbage.
Yu Se had been abandoned by his sugar daddy!
The moment Yu Se hung up the phone, the first thought flashing into his mind was that thank goodness the tools for making a living hadn’t been confiscated; he could still manage to pay out salaries for the time being.
Walking into the spacious hospital, Yu Se gazed at the familiar yet empty corridor. He had only been away for a single day, but his heart was already filled with a tangled mix of emotions.
However, it didn’t matter. Originally, once Xiao Lin’s pampered little husband gave birth, he would have been automatically sidelined over here anyway.
After all, as long as the hospital continued operating, patients would always stream in endlessly.
He wasn’t someone lacking superb delivery techniques!
Yu Se took a deep breath, struggling to calm his slightly complicated emotions. The interior of the hospital was dead silent, with only the occasional running sound of instruments breaking the tranquility.
Going up to a concealed little room on the second floor, he saw through the glass window that Bai Fan was coaxing little Yu’an to sleep.
What a warm picture.
To guard against Lu Yunchen suddenly storming back to search the hospital, he could only wrong this father and son for the time being by letting them live in the small room.
Not having the heart to disturb their time together, Yu Se tiptoed up to his own room on the third floor to sleep.
He was someone who had already died once, and he seemed to hold an extraordinarily detached attitude toward anything transcending life and death.
Being able to be reborn into the world of a book was a completely new beginning for Yu Se, and he was even less likely to let any matter disturb his state of mind or drag him back into that kind of exhausting and agonizingly fatiguing life.
He was currently looking at things with an exceptionally open mind.
Therefore, sleeping soundly through the night, Yu Se woke up at six o’clock as usual, finished the postpartum nutritional meal specially provided by the hospital, and prepared to patrol the wards.
Yet he heard the hurried footsteps of his apprentice Wang Qi rushing over, shouting as he ran, “Master, are you back?!”
Yu Se responded with an acknowledgment.
Like seeing his main pillar of support, Wang Qi said in a panic, “Big trouble! A crowd of people has gathered at the hospital entrance. I was blocked outside just now and almost couldn’t squeeze back in!”
Hearing this, Yu Se immediately pulled open the room on his right side and briskly approached the window to take a look downstairs. He saw Lu Yunchen leading a pitch-black swarm of bodyguards marching into the hospital.
Bad.
Yu Se muttered inwardly: Does this guy belong to the Cao Cao family? How can he be so impossible to mention without him showing up?
He instructed Wang Qi, “You’re nimble on your feet, hurry up and help Bai Fan and the child escape through the side door. I’ll hold these people off.”
With that, he grabbed and pulled his white lab coat, lifting his arms to slip it on.
The hospital’s little security guard was clearly failing to hold off this mob, issuing repeated warnings: “This is a hospital, you’d better not mess around, or I’m calling the police!” Unfortunately, his trembling legs betrayed his current panic and fright.
A large, steady hand pressed down onto his shoulder, helping his retreating body stand firm.
Yu Se revealed his face and smiled. “Why harbor such great anger, Mr. Lu?” He nodded to signal the security guard to stand behind him.
He wasn’t entirely a stranger to medical disputes either; the people in front of him were all well-trained private bodyguards who wouldn’t resort to violence and injury lightly.
A minor situation.
Lu Yunchen had probably not slept a single night of sound sleep in several days; dark circles rimmed his eyes, and they were bloodshot, yet his expression was exceptionally terrifying.
He stared fixedly at Yu Se, as if wanting to pierce right through him alive.
Yu Se feigned calm by turning his head away, avoiding eye contact, while calculating in his heart whether Madam Lu had betrayed him after all.
He decided to gamble on it. “The deceased are to be respected. As a doctor, I won’t use a patient’s life to joke around!”
Hearing this, Lu Yunchen furrowed his brows, his face brimming with blazing, fiery hatred. He swept a sharp gaze toward Yu Se, his tone carrying an unquestionable madness as he roared, “Smash the place!”
With that order, the bodyguards standing behind him swarmed out in a continuous stream, resembling a group of bandits specializing in plundering, burning, and killing. They paired up in groups of three or five, barging into every single room, swinging clubs in a round of random destruction. Instantly, glass shards scattered and flew in all directions, the crisp sound of porcelain shattering rose and fell in succession, and the interior was plunged into absolute chaos.
Witnessing this scene, Yu Se turned pale, gripping his hands tightly as he shouted at the top of his lungs, “Hold on a moment!”
Lu Yunchen raised his hand slightly, and the mob of bodyguards responsible for the smashing instantly halted, standing amidst the wreckage and eyeing them with predatory hostility.
Lu Yunchen laughed somewhat abnormally, the fierce hostility erupting from his whole body resembling a shadow swallowing reason, chewing up his bones bit by bit.
He shouldn’t have felt pain to begin with.
Originally, that person named Bai Fan shouldn’t have brought even a trace of ripples into his life planning, nor should he have allowed his heart at this very moment to feel as though pierced simultaneously by ten thousand fine needles.
The reality, however, was that whenever Lu Yunchen walked around his home, he saw every single place closely tied to the traces of the life he had once shared with Bai Fan.
That name stabbed into his windpipe like an invisible blade, making even breathing difficult.
It shouldn’t be like this! It shouldn’t! It shouldn’t be happening, ahhhhh!
Lu Yunchen had initially warned himself that the reason he was experiencing abnormal emotions was because the other person was carrying his own flesh and blood!
And it was conceived through the most despicable means!
I don’t love him, I don’t care about him, he’s dispensable?!
Yet every single day, every single day, as long as Lu Yunchen returned to the room where he and Bai Fan had once lived together.
He felt distressed, he felt pained, he felt so muddled he couldn’t breathe.
Why on earth was all of this happening?!
Lu Yunchen cast a cruel, sneering look at Yu Se. “How is that? Planning to tell me the truth of the matter now?”
Yu Se calmly gazed at his ferocity and said, “There are two young nurse girls on the second floor, just past twenty years old, please don’t scare them.”
“Once they come down, you can carry on smashing.”
The final thread in his brain was completely shattered!
Standing amidst the messy wreckage, Lu Yunchen suddenly burst into a piercing, crazed laugh. Even the bodyguards who had accompanied him felt horrified, privately suspecting that their master must have been driven completely mad.
Yu Se sighed, turned around to call the names of the two young nurses, and once the two crying girls huddled together and ran over, he instructed the little security guard to take them and hide outside first.
Then, he calmly walked back to his office, and amidst a pile of files smashed to pieces, retrieved two dirty, torn documents.
Returning to face the agonizingly tormented Lu Yunchen, he handed them over. “These are two cremation certificates, one for Bai Fan and one for the child. If you don’t believe my words, Mr. Lu, you can take them back and look at them whenever you have nothing to do.”
