Inside the hospital ward.
Ye Fei lay on the bed, his face twisted in pain.
“Based on your scans, this fall has worsened your rib fractures. Whether to proceed with surgery or continue with conservative treatment… we’ll need to discuss it before making a decision.”
The doctor placed the scans on the cabinet beside the bed and walked out with an unpleasant expression.
Because of this incident, even if it didn’t lead to an official reprimand, writing a self-criticism report was unavoidable.
Naturally, he had no good attitude toward Ye Fei.
After stepping out of the ward, he spoke to the head nurse passing by, saying, “Head Nurse, please keep a closer eye on the patient in this bed. There seems to be some issue with them.”
The head nurse nodded seriously and replied, “Don’t worry, he’s already been placed on the key observation list. He’s been cursing non-stop all day in the ward, and quite a few patients have already complained.”
…
At that moment, Ye Fei glared angrily at Butler Wang.
If Butler Wang hadn’t insisted on transferring him to another hospital, none of this would have happened. Under normal circumstances, he would have been discharged after a week of rest.
But now, there was even a possibility he might need surgery.
Butler Wang sighed and said, “This was an order from above. I was just following instructions… who could’ve expected something like this to happen?”
He sounded vague because the female shop assistant was sitting nearby.
Ye Fei snorted coldly and said, “Look at the kind of people you hired. Even a stretcher could break. If I had taken that transfer helicopter, would I even still be alive?”
Ye Fei felt extremely frustrated.
He couldn’t understand why, as a Son of Destiny, his luck had become so terrible.
In his previous life, although he had been brutally beaten by Chen Zhuo, at least he could face him directly. It had been a fair competition.
But in this life, he couldn’t even see Chen Zhuo. He could only lie in the hospital bed, unable to move.
How could he not feel suffocated by frustration?
Butler Wang looked at Ye Fei’s ugly expression and said nothing.
He knew that anything he said at this moment would only make Ye Fei angrier.
“Say something!”
With nowhere else to vent his frustration, Ye Fei turned his gaze toward the female shop assistant when Butler Wang remained silent.
“And you… you fat pig! If it weren’t for you, would I even be here? None of this would’ve happened!”
The female shop assistant stared at him coldly. If not for the last trace of restraint, she would have already flipped him off the bed again.
“Can you lower your voice?! There are patients in other wards trying to rest!”
At that moment, a nurse stood at the door and reprimanded him sharply.
They had long been fed up with Ye Fei. His constant “I’m the best in the world” attitude made it seem like the medical staff owed him something.
Ye Fei was about to snap back when he saw a familiar figure step out from behind the nurse. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
Chen Zhuo said politely and gently, “Miss Nurse, thank you for bringing us here. Please go ahead and continue your work. We’ll remind him to behave.”
The nurse nodded and turned to leave. After taking a step, she turned back to glance at Ye Fei and said, “You should learn from your friend here. You’re both human, so why is the difference so big?”
With that, she left.
Lying on the bed, Ye Fei’s eyes seemed ready to spit fire.
That nurse actually said a Son of Destiny like him was inferior to Chen Zhuo, a villain?
Utter humiliation!
Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable!
He decided that once he could get out of bed, he would report that nurse to the nursing department!
Chen Zhuo seized the opportunity and said seriously, “Ye Fei, since you’re in the hospital, you should listen to the doctor. Yet you still wanted to run around and go to some private hospital. You’re already a university student… can’t you use your brain a little?”
“How the hell is that any of your business?! I can do whatever I want, what’s it got to do with you? Let me tell you, don’t come bothering me. Once I get out of here, I’ll settle the score with you! Your lousy supermarket… and Jiang Qiuli… sooner or later, they’ll both be mine!”
Already boiling with rage, Ye Fei couldn’t tolerate the provocation at all. He lashed out at Chen Zhuo, venting all his frustration and anger.
Of course, as a Son of Destiny, he wasn’t acting without thought.
There was another purpose behind his behavior.
He wanted Chen Zhuo to hit him.
In his previous life, after being beaten by Chen Zhuo, he hadn’t immediately mobilized the full power of the Ye Family. Instead, he had fallen step by step into ruin, until in the end, even the entire Ye Family couldn’t oppose Chen Zhuo.
This time, he wouldn’t make the same mistake.
He wanted a decisive strike.
But with his current status, he couldn’t mobilize the full strength of the Ye Family.
So he wanted Chen Zhuo to attack him right here in the ward.
As long as Chen Zhuo made a move, he would immediately have Butler Wang report it to the family.
At that point…
Chen Zhuo would be doomed!
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Even the pain in his body seemed to lessen.
He closed his eyes and quietly waited for Chen Zhuo to strike him.
He knew that, based on what he understood from his previous life, Chen Zhuo would definitely act.
“Let’s go. I didn’t expect him to be this kind of person.”
However, what he waited for was not a punch.
It was Jiang Qiuli’s cold voice.
Only then did he realize that, at some point, someone had appeared beside Chen Zhuo.
A girl wearing a gray jacket, wide-leg jeans, and pink canvas shoes.
“Wait… Qiuli, listen to me!”
Ye Fei became agitated and directly sat up from the bed.
He was completely stunned.
When did Jiang Qiuli arrive?
But Jiang Qiuli ignored him.
This time, she took the initiative to grab Chen Zhuo’s hand. It was as if she were fleeing from a garbage dump as she ran toward the door.
“Damn it—”
Ye Fei gritted his teeth so hard they nearly shattered.
[Ding! Detected Son of Destiny Ye Fei grinding his teeth in rage. Wish cooldown time reduced by 5 hours!]
“Young Master Ye, lie back down quickly. Your fracture might worsen again,” Butler Wang said anxiously.
“Get lost!”
Ye Fei slammed his fist onto the bed.
And then… a scream like a pig being slaughtered echoed through the ward.
The duty doctor, who had been writing his report, rushed over immediately.
“What happened?”
Butler Wang didn’t dare to speak, so the female shop assistant explained how Ye Fei had sat up and struck the bed.
“Damn it—”
Now it was the doctor’s turn to curse.
He hadn’t even finished writing his previous report, and now something like this had happened again.
If Ye Fei stayed here any longer, he might as well specialize in writing reports about him!
At that moment, the department director, who had just finished a surgery and came to check on the patients, walked in and asked, “What’s going on?”
The duty doctor looked at the director helplessly and said, “Director, for this patient, I suggest requesting a consultation with the psychiatry department.”
…
Not far from the elevator, in the stairwell marked as an emergency exit.
Jiang Qiuli was squatting on the ground, quietly sobbing.
Chen Zhuo looked at her, confused, and said, “What’s wrong? He was just shouting. You don’t have to be this upset, right?”
Although bringing Jiang Qiuli along to see Ye Fei—and angering him—had been part of his plan from the beginning, even with the unexpected results, she shouldn’t have reacted this strongly.
Hearing his question, Jiang Qiuli stood up and wiped her tears with her sleeve.
She said softly, “I’m sorry… I just thought of some unpleasant things.”
