Chapter 9: Suppression by Power?

Xiao Bing ate some food outside. It was already dark when he entered Su Family’s house. Starting from today, this was Xiao Bing’s temporary home.

According to Su Xiaoxiao’s words, the room on the right side of the toilet belonged to Su Peiya, that would be his room now. Xiao Bing wanted to search around for the so-called evidence, but after thinking again, he thought it impolite to do this. So, after taking a bath, he went back to the room to sleep.

Xiao Bing was lied on the bed and saw a picture of Su Peiya before her death by the bedside. He immediately picked up the picture. It was a beautiful woman who looked hot and young. Compared with Su Xiaoxiao, the beauty in the picture was much more enthusiastic and unrestrained. Xiao Bing felt sad, sighed, and put the picture back again.

The next morning, Xiao Bing went to the Xiaoxiao Noodle House. The inside of the noodle shop had been cleaned up. The smashed glasses, damaged tables, and chairs were replaced. Xiao Bing looked around and praised Wang Guizhi standing beside. “Good. Your work is very efficient. Is it ready for business?”

“This is all credit to everyone.” Wang Guizhi had received orders from Su Xiaoxiao’s mother, Li Chunlan, for them to listen to Xiao Bing, the deputy store manager. So, although Xiao Bing looked young and did not know everyone well, Wang Guizhi’s attitude was still very respectful. “Manager, shall I call all the employees here and introduce them to you?”

Xiao Bing laughed and said, “It’s better to introduce them, so it will be more convenient to work together in the future. Besides, Auntie Wang, you are so much older than me, and you’re also a veteran of the store. Just call me Lil Bin like Auntie Li does.”

Wang Guifang was glad and relieved to find Xiao Bing so accommodating. She was really worried that the new manager would be difficult to be with. It now seemed that her worry was unnecessary. She then summoned all the staff quickly.

Xiao Bing had met the other two employees before, but they just did not know each other. After they introduced themselves, Xiao Bing knew that one of them was called Zhang Jing and the other was called Li Hong. Both of them looked for a living after graduating from junior college and were two or three years younger than Xiao Bing. Normaly, Wang Guifang was in charge of the back kitchen, while Li Chunlan, the boss, was in charge of the store’s exclusive lamian. As for the two younger sisters, Zhang Jing was in charge of the cashier and Li Hong was the store’s waitress.

Xiao Bing was about the same age as the two waitresses, plus Xiao Bing had always been kind, so they became close to each other very soon.

Looking at the time, Xiao Bing found Wang Guifang and said, “You can start the business at noon. I have to go out first. There is still some issue at the hospital.”

“Alright, you go first. We can handle the business here. People can just have our exclusive lamian another day.”

Xiao Bing laughed and said, “Then I’ll leave the store to you three. Thanks.”

Xiao Bing went out and called a taxi. He then waited in the airport lobby for about twenty minutes when an old man with a crutch emerged in the crowd. A black bodyguard followed him.

Xiao Bing greeted him with a smile, “Old Zhang, I can’t believe that I managed to invite such a great doctor here.”

This old man in his 50s was the legendary doctor, Zhang Yizhi. The one behind him was also the famous top expert, Foye, in Beijing City who reached the Clear-strength Stage. It was said that Foye was once the top expert in the murderous Death Corps mercenaries in Africa. He happened to meet Zhang Yizhi after being seriously injured. After being rescued by Zhang Yizhi, he had been loyally staying with Zhang Yizhi and had never returned to Africa.

Zhang Yizhi turned a white eye to Xiao Bing and said with some complaint in his tone, “Little brother Xiao, since you retired from the army, you have rarely contacted me in recent years. This time you invited me here from Beijing. The relationship between the patient and you is definitely not normal, is it?”

Xiao Bing sighed, “Alas, it’s Peiya’s mother.”

“Oh, is she the mother of Peiya? This is really a pity. Although I have no problem to do a successful surgery, you should know that one would die in two years with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, even if the surgery is successful.”

“I know. Just do your best, and we’ll leave it to destiny.”

“Well, I can ensure the success of surgery, this you can rest assured. As for other aspects, life is still in god’s hands! By the way, why didn’t Peiya come with you? Is she staying with her mother in the hospital?”

Xiao Bing looked somewhat dejected and said, “It’s a long story. Let’s talk as we walk.”

After the three people got off the car at the gate of the hospital, Zhang Yizhi looked heavy and asked, “So, her family doesn’t know about what happened to Peiya yet?”

“Hem.”

“Alas, I didn’t expect such a good child to die so soon… Back then, I thought you could be a couple… Forget it, the past is over. Since Peiya’s mother still has heart disease, let’s keep the pancreatic adenocarcinoma secret from her first, as long as we can.”

“I think so too.”

“Then what about the Dragon Gate you created? Are you not going back?”

“For the time being, I want to be quiet and take good care of Peiya’s family, especially when Su’s mother is seriously ill.”

As they talked, they walked to the second floor of the hospital. As soon as they got to the second floor, Xiao Bing’s face changed. There was a fierce quarrel in Su’s mother’s room. Who disturbed Auntie Li at this time? Su Peiya’s mother had just been rescued from a heart attack and still couldn’t stand this kind of stimulation.

Xiao Bing’s heart was so angry that he walked quickly toward the ward. Zhang Yizhi followed slowly with the crutch.

The door of the ward was surrounded by some nurses. Lil Bei was wearing a white coat and blended in with them. When he saw Xiao Bing coming, his eyes met Xiaobing’s and he quickly averted.

After walking to the door of the ward, he heard Su Xiaoxiao shouting to the two little nurses, “Why? It’s not that we didn’t pay the money, why should we be expelled from the ward? Who gave you such rights?”

Xiao Bing went in, frowned and asked, “What’s going on?”

Su Xiaoxiao pointed to the two nurses and said, “They both asked my mother to move out of the hospital and go home for rest. But in the morning, the doctor also told us that we must have a good rest in the hospital bed for a few days and stay in the hospital for observation. Why should we be driven away?”

Li Chunlan also seemed to be very angry, leaning on his sickbed, clutching his chest and panting. Xiao Bing hurried over to hold Li Chunlan and said, “Auntie, don’t be angry. I’ll take care of this.”

Su Xiaoxiao stared at the two nurses and asked, “Who gives you so much power?”

“I did!” Xiao Bing turned his head and looked toward the door. Two middle-aged old men in their fifties came in from the outside. One was wearing a white coat and a pair of glasses, the other was wearing a suit and tie, followed by a bodyguard.

The white-coated old man said, “I am Zhou Zeshan, the director of this hospital. I gave them the rights!”

Xiao Bing comforted Li Chunlan with a few words and then straightened up and looked at the director. His tone was not good. “I paid the money. It is only natural for the patient to stay in the hospital for observation. What’s more, my Auntie Li hasn’t fully recovered yet. Even if you are the director, why are you making us leave the hospital?”

The old man in a suit suddenly looked at Xiao Bing and smiled triumphantly, “Are you Xiao Bing? I am Xie Lun, father of Xie Gucheng.”

Xiao Bing’s eyes flashed a sharp color, he finally understood how things happened today. Indeed as expected. The saying went “like son, like father.” The Xie Family’s old dog had come to bully others.

Dragons had scales that defy. Those who obeyed survived, and those who disobeyed perished!

Xiao Bing sighed and looked at Li Chunlan helplessly. “Auntie Li, I didn’t expect I was causing you trouble. Xiaoxiao, take care of your mother, and I’ll take care of this.”

Su Xiaoxiao did not think Xiao Bing could solve anything. What could a veteran do in society? Soldiers fought with courage and wisdom on the battlefield, while in order to gain a foothold in society, they need power and intrigue.

But when Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Bing’s eyes met, her heart trembled for no reason. What a confident look it was. That kind of confidence was not intentionally revealed, but the strength and confidence that a successful man inadvertently showed.

“Lil Bin, don’t argue with them. Let’s change hospitals.”

“Mom, I trust Brother Bing…”

At some point, Su Xiaoxiao’s mentality had changed.

Xiao Bing met Xie Lun face to face and said with a faint tone, “If I’m not mistaken, is this because of Xie Gucheng?”

Xie Lun’s face was confident and even overbearing. “You should understand by now that the Xie Family is not something you can provoke, young man. Before I change my mind, kneel down and beg for my forgiveness, otherwise, Jiang City will never have any place for you!”

Kneel down? How humiliating!

When Su Xiaoxiao’s face changed, she said hastily, “Brother Bing, you can’t promise him.”

Li Chunlan was also furious. “Lil Bin, let’s get out of the hospital. Jiangcheng is just one of the hospitals in Jiangcheng city. I really can’t go home. Anyway, it doesn’t matter.”

Xie Lun sneered, “As long as I use my connections, no hospital will dare to take you in. Even if I leave the river, I have countless ways to deal with you until you die.”

Xiao Bing sighed slightly and looked at Xie Lun with a kind of compassion, as if it was not Xie Lun who really dominated other people’s lives, but himself. “That’s really a pity. What I really can’t stand is that someone deals with my family, relatives, and friends…”

Xie Lun said with some disdain, “Then what?”

Xiao Bing did not speak, but his cold, dark, and murderous look made Xie Lun fall to hell in an instant. His heart almost stopped beating, his whole body was cold, and his face turned pale. Zhou Zeshan rushed up to help Xie Lun and called out, “President Xie! President Xie! What’s wrong with you?”

Xie Lun’s face was blue and white. He pointed at Xiao Bing in anger and shouted angrily, “Director Zhou, this ungrateful person doesn’t deserve any respect. Kick him out! Kick him out!”

Zhou Zeshan did not know how Xie Lun suddenly reacted so intensely. He hurriedly said, “Okay, okay. I’ll call security. I’ll call security.”

After that, he turned his head and shouted at the little nurse, “What are you still doing here? Call the security guards here.”

The little nurse was so frightened that her eyes turned red. She was about to go out to call someone when Xiao Bing suddenly said, “Wait a minute.”

Zhou Zeshan said with anger, “What?”

Xiao Bing looked at Zhou Zeshan smilingly. “Director Zhou, this is a public hospital. The hospital serves the public. Do you think you can cover up everything?”

Zhou Zeshan paused, then burst out laughing, as if laughing at Xiao Bing’s innocence and ignorance. “This is my hospital. Naturally, what I say counts!”

“You are the director here, but if you do something wrong and violate your conscience and professional ethics, there will naturally be others to punish you.”

Zhou Zeshan looked arrogant and disdainful and said, “Who would punish me, you?”

Xiao Bing’s eyes looked out of the door, and others followed Xiao Bing’s eyes. Zhang Yizhi came in step by step under the help of Foye. When Zhou Zeshan saw the old man coming in clearly, he looked stunned and in disbelief, warbling, “Zhang… Elder Zhang… Why are you here?”
