In Chapter Thirty-Three of Xiao Cheng's novel, "A Bizarre Dream

," Xiao Chong suffered from insomnia again. Although he reassured everyone at the meeting, he was inwardly filled with anxiety. He wasn't sure if there was some kind of infectious disease, but judging from the weather over the past month, it seemed likely. A month without sunshine meant that any fruits or vegetables not refrigerated would show signs of rotting and foul odor the next morning, some even crawling with tiny maggots. Humans aren't plants, but they're not gods either. If this weather continued—in the sweltering summer heat, the sudden appearance of sunshine after the rain would be scorching—the stark contrast in climate would be unbearable for anyone! Even without a major illness, a small flu outbreak would occur. And if that happened, medical institutions of all sizes would be overflowing.

Despite this reasoning, Xiao Chong still couldn't sleep peacefully. If there were no disease, Longxin would continue its half-dead existence; if its competitors didn't ostracize it, he would feel embarrassed to close it down. He pondered this until the wee hours of the morning, tossing and turning countless times. Sleepiness had long since crept in, but he just couldn't close his eyes. He finally picked up a book and started reading. After only a few pages, a small house suddenly appeared in the book, growing larger and larger until it transformed into a villa, truly magnificent with its golden bricks and silver tiles. A charming and alluring woman stood before the door.

"You, who are you? Where is this place?"

"Doesn't Dr. Ouyang recognize me? I am Yan Ruyu, your personal maid."

Good heavens! In his late twenties, this was the first time his dream had come true. Yan Ruyu really existed! Was he seeing things? Looking closer, the villa was still there, the beautiful woman was still there, and his manhood was still there. "Whose house is this? It's so beautiful! All this gold and silver must be real!"

"Dr. Ouyang, what's wrong? Is this your golden palace? Hurry up and come in, there are so many patients here looking for you!" Yan Ruyu gracefully bowed and stepped forward to lead Xiao Chong inside. Xiao Chong's eyes widened in disbelief, because when she bent over, her chest was inadvertently exposed, her two round, jade-like breasts jumping into his view, even the two pink nipples were faintly visible. It seemed that this ancient woman didn't know what modern breast tattoos were.

Composing himself, he quickly followed her inside. As soon as he entered the living room, dozens of people sitting in rows on the sofa surrounded him, constantly shouting, "Hurry up and treat me! Treat me!" Xiao Chong looked closely, and oh my god, they were all gods: Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, Buddha, Yama... It was like a scene from a fantasy novel.

The gods chattered and shouted incoherently, when Xiao Chong, emboldened by some unknown source, suddenly yelled, "Stop yelling! Stop making noise! Line up one by one!"

Sun Wukong was displeased. He dared to cause trouble even in the Heavenly Palace; when did a little monkey like Xiao Chong get to ride on his head and act so arrogantly? He hurled his golden cudgel to the ground, and it instantly grew larger, pressing down on Xiao Chong, who panicked and grabbed it in fear.

Seeing this, Buddha Tathagata flicked a beam of light with his little finger, and the golden cudgel instantly shrank to the size of a hair. "You monkey, what are you doing? Line up!" With that, he squeezed his way to Xiao Chong. As the head of all Buddhas, no god dared to speak, but the remaining gods immediately scrambled to get behind him, and soon a long line formed.

"Buddha Tathagata, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Chong didn't care about gods or Buddhas; since Xiao Chong had come to him for treatment, he was his patient, and his patient had to listen to him. Thinking of this, he really wanted to sing Jay Chou's song, "In my territory, you have to listen to me..."

"Um, this, that..." Tathagata looked at the gods behind him, hesitant and unsure what to say.

"Dr. Ouyang, your consultation room is over there! Please come with me!" The perceptive Yan Ruyu noticed Tathagata's difficulty and quickly led him and Xiao Chong into a room, then left herself, closing the door behind her.

"Tathagata, there's no one here... no gods around. What's wrong? Tell me!" Xiao Chong asked casually.

"I... I've been sitting on the lotus throne all day, and lately I've been eating vegetarian food with too much lard, it's too heaty, and it's caused my hemorrhoids to flare up. Please prescribe some medicine for me!" Tathagata dared not hide anything and confessed truthfully. His restless appearance truly reflected the hemorrhoid flare-up.

"Oh, this illness is simple. I can cure it with just one prescription. But what about the cost of the medicine?" Xiao Chong seized the opportunity to rip him off. The clinic hadn't had a decent client in a long time, and he was eager to take advantage of this big shot.

"Well, celestial currency doesn't circulate in the mortal world, and the banks haven't finished the exchange procedures yet. How about this, I'll give you the lotus seat!" Buddha said, tossing out a tattered, worn-out cushion.

"Buddha. You usually seem quite honest, but how come you've learned to deceive people? You think you can fool me with this tattered cushion? Are you trying to cause a fatal hemorrhage?" Xiao Chong said unhappily.

"This humble god wouldn't dare, this humble god wouldn't dare. This lotus seat may look tattered, but it actually holds great secrets," Buddha immediately explained meekly.

"Tell me!"

"Sitting on this lotus, one can travel eight hundred li by day and a thousand li by night."

"Damn, is that all it's good for? It's not even as good as my newly bought Hyundai!"

"Not at all, not at all. This is its smallest use. Sitting on it can transform you, giving you an indestructible body and granting you immortality..."

"Alright, alright, here's your prescription, go!" Xiao Chong handed over a prescription and tossed the lotus seat behind him.

After Tathagata left, another person entered—it was Sun Wukong, the very same monkey who had just scared Xiao Chong with his golden cudgel.

"Sun Wukong, where do you feel unwell?" Xiao Chong was a little afraid of this hot-tempered monkey and asked cautiously. He was afraid that if the monkey became displeased, it would strike him on the head with its golden cudgel, and he would be done for!

"No, no, Dr. Ouyang, please call me Sun Wukong!" Sun Wukong said with a forced smile, his attitude completely changing.

"Then tell me where you feel unwell?" Xiao Chong couldn't quite adjust to the situation, and decided it was best not to provoke this guy!

"I'm so itchy all over, it's unbearably itchy!" Sun Wukong said, scratching himself as if he were suffering from unbearable itching.

"Oh! Let me see!" Xiao Chong said, circling around him and examining him closely. Then he plucked a tuft of monkey hair from his body and looked at it under a magnifying glass. What he saw was shocking: the hair was crawling with lice.

"How long has it been since you took a shower?" Xiao Chong asked.

"I haven't had a bath since I was born from the stone!"

"My goodness, it's a miracle you don't have lice! Go back and shave all the hair on your body, put some lice in the water, take a bath, and you'll be cured immediately!"

"Dr. Ouyang, you're truly a miracle doctor! This stubborn ailment that has plagued me, Old Sun, for thousands of years was diagnosed by your divine eye at a glance. I, Old Sun, never submit to anyone, but today I truly submit to you!" After saying this, Sun Wukong knelt down and kowtowed three times to Xiao Chong. Xiao Chong wanted to help him up, but was afraid of catching lice from him. If he didn't help him up, he was afraid of offending him. In the end, he could only accept the kowtow with shame.

"It's nothing serious, just be more civilized and hygienic and shower more often from now on!"

"Yes, yes, Dr. Ouyang's words are like pearls, truly golden advice. I, Old Sun, will remember them. I dare not thank you enough for such a great kindness. If you ever need my help, just give me a call. I'll go through fire and water for you, even if it means getting struck by lightning. This is just a small token of my appreciation!" Sun Wukong said, throwing down his golden cudgel and leaving.

Xiao Chong looked at the golden cudgel that had been thrown in front of him like trash, and then at Sun Wukong's departing figure, feeling a bit amused and exasperated. After

Sun Wukong left, another person entered. A huge pearl on his head, wearing an exquisite dragon robe, holding a jade ruyi in his hand—it was the Jade Emperor.

"Old Jade Emperor, are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Chong saw that even the Buddha, the head of all Buddhas, had been easily dealt with by him, and that troublesome Monkey King had also been fooled by him with just a few words. No longer afraid of the Jade Emperor, who held the power of life and death over all living beings, he spoke with a mocking tone.

"I've been... I think I'm not doing so well lately!" the Jade Emperor said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Really? Let me see!"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor obediently unfastened his dragon robe, revealing his pitifully small penis. Xiao Chong examined it carefully for a while, then picked up the tiny golden chopstick on the table and teased it, but there was no reaction. Then he showed him pornographic films featuring Ozawa Yuki and Muteng Ran, but still no reaction.

"Old Jade Emperor, if I'm not mistaken, you might have erectile dysfunction."

"Oh heavens, I really have this disease! I'm finished!" Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor burst into tears, disregarding his status.

"Don't cry, don't cry, this disease isn't incurable. It's just a bit difficult, and the consultation fee..." Xiao Chong said deliberately, feigning difficulty.

"Dr. Ouyang, don't worry. As long as you cure my illness, I'll give you whatever you want."

"Alright then, I'll use my family's three-needle acupuncture for you a few times, and then prescribe two doses of Chinese medicine. I guarantee you'll be cured!" After saying that, Xiao Chong started acupuncture on the Jade Emperor. After doing this for a while, when he was shown porn, he actually showed a slight tendency to get an erection.

"Dr. Ouyang is truly a miracle doctor!"

"Old Jade Emperor, you're so old, don't do so much, take it easy!"

"What can I do? I have three thousand beauties in my harem, if I don't pursue them, they'll all come after me!"

"Doesn't Laozi have elixirs? Isn't there one that makes you invincible?"

"That old fellow, he lived a life of poverty, but unexpectedly ended up with a fake medicine dealer, specializing in making counterfeit medicine. Without his medicine, I can barely manage for three to five minutes, but after taking it, I can't even lift my head!"

"Oh, then keep that pearl on your head. Take your medicine on time, and after two or three acupuncture sessions, you should be able to enjoy your nights of pleasure!"

"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Dr. Ouyang! Here, take the pearl, and this dragon robe, you can have the dragon robe too!" The Jade Emperor took the pearl off his head and handed it to him, then went to take off the dragon robe.

"No need, you keep it for yourself!" Xiao Chong actually disliked the smell of his body odor and quickly stopped him.

The Jade Emperor left, and the Queen Mother of the West entered.

Xiao Chong dared not be presumptuous again, not because he was intimidated by her majesty, but because he remembered Shen Xue's words: "Women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with.

" "Greetings, Queen Mother of the West!" Xiao Chong didn't know how immortals greeted each other, so he stood up and placed one hand on his heart and the other on his waist, performing a gesture that was neither Western nor Eastern, a rather awkward and incongruous gesture.

"Dr. Ouyang, there's no need to be so formal. Please examine this old woman!"

"What's wrong, Queen Mother of the West?"

"Well, it's just that my period hasn't come for two months."

"Haven't you seen a doctor?"

"Yes, the imperial physician said I'm pregnant, but you know how old I am. If an old frog had a child, all the gods would laugh at me. Besides, my old man hasn't touched me in ages, so pregnancy is impossible. That's why I wanted to come to you for another checkup!"

"Alright, let me take your pulse!"

"..." A few minutes later, Xiao Chong released the Queen Mother of the West's hand.

"How are you? Dr. Ouyang, am I really pregnant?"

"No, it's just menstrual irregularities caused by menopausal syndrome! I'll prescribe some medicine to regulate your period and you'll be fine!"

"Ah, those quacks, just wait until I get back and deal with them. Dr. Ouyang, thank you so much. You see, I don't have anything special to offer. This consultation fee..."

"No need, it's my duty and my honor to treat Your Majesty. How could I accept your consultation fee!" Xiao Chong said politely, then muttered to himself, "I wonder what those peaches of immortality look like? I've never seen them before!"

"If Dr. Ouyang likes them, I'll have someone pick a few and send them over!"

"Hehe, how could I accept that? I'm really embarrassed. Since Your Majesty is so kind, then just pick a hundred or two hundred! I'd be too embarrassed to accept too many!" "

..."

After the Queen Mother left, Xiao Chong treated Pigsy for his sexually transmitted disease and prescribed a medical abortion for the Seventh Fairy, who had a secret spider pregnancy. Soon after, King Yama arrived.

"Dr. Ouyang, please take a look at me! My hands and feet are in so much pain, especially with all the torrential rains for the past month, it's been excruciating! Please take a look!" Yama, the King of Hell, cried out in agony as soon as he entered.

"Oh, let me take a look!" Xiao Chong said, carefully examining him. After a short while, he concluded, "Old Yan, this is an occupational hazard. The underworld is inherently gloomy; this is rheumatism. Did you buy insurance?"

"Yes, I did. I didn't want to, but that Jade Emperor said all beings should buy insurance for peace of mind, and he made all the gods do the same. He even deducted the insurance premium from my salary. Erlang Shen, who manages insurance, has made a fortune. He bought over a dozen Mercedes-Benzes, and he even has seven fairy maidens as mistresses! That bastard even has thirty-six huge diamonds on his necklace!"

"Heh, Old Yan is envious!"

"No, no, I'm not envious. I heard he got conjunctivitis; I don't know why he didn't come today!"

"Maybe he's afraid I'll rip him off after he's made so much money. Here, this is your prescription; go get your medicine!"

"Thank you, Dr. Ouyang. How much is the consultation fee? I still have some ghost money!"

"Ghost money? No need, you should keep it for yourself!"

"Oh, I'm so sorry!"

"It's nothing. You only get a fixed salary, don't you? There's no money to be made in the underworld, it's really tough on you!"

"Waaah, Dr. Ouyang, you're such a kindred spirit! Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No... Oh, by the way, if you're able, could you bring my parents here so I can see them?"

"This, although it goes against the heavenly rules, Dr. Ouyang has treated me without charging a fee, and he's such a kindred spirit, I'll do it for you no matter what. Tell me, what are your parents' names?" Yama, the King of Hell, put on his reading glasses and took out the Book of Life and Death.

"Ouyang Sheng, Shen Xue, Liu Ruyan, Xian Yanchang, Lin Xinlan..." Xiao Chong recited his parents' names one by one.

Yama searched through the Book of Life and Death but couldn't find the names Xiao Chong mentioned; none of them were recorded.

"How is that possible? Let me see!" Xiao Chong said, snatching the book and carefully looking at it, page by page, until the very end, it really wasn't there.

"Perhaps they aren't dead. This is the Book of Life and Death, the best book, which records the names of the dead. I also have a lesser book, the one that records the lifespans of the living." King Yama said, pulling out another book and putting on his reading glasses to examine it with trembling eyes.

"Old Yama, look at your eyes! I turned the book around for you!" Xiao Chong reminded him.

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. The underworld is so gloomy and dark. I have to look at the Book of Life and Death all day to instruct the Black and White Impermanence ghosts to do their jobs. My eyesight is getting worse every day!" Old Yama said helplessly.

"Why don't you install a fluorescent light?"

"I've brought it up countless times in meetings, but that Jade Emperor is too stingy with electricity bills. He even has the audacity to say that the underworld needs to have an underworld atmosphere and just won't install one! I'm so frustrated!"

"Damn it, that old codger is so miserly! I should have just stripped him of his dragon robe and given it to you! You could wear it to meetings and see how he feels then."

"Haha, that's a good idea, but too bad he ran away. I just saw him sneaking into Chang'e's palace; he must be cheating on the Queen Mother again!"

"It's alright, they'll both have to come again tomorrow. I'll strip the Jade Emperor of his dragon robe first, then I'll complain to the Queen Mother."

"Haha, great, great! Hey, found it, found it!"

"Really? Let me see—"

"Brother Xiao Chong, Brother Xiao Chong, why are you sleeping here?" A melodious voice rang in his ears, and the gods immediately retreated. Xiao Chong returned to his room, still sitting at his desk, but the book he had been pressing down on was soaked through, as if it had been submerged in water—that was from his drool.

Chapter Thirty-Four of Xiao Cheng's Works: An Accident, Purely an Accident

"Brother Xiao Chong, Brother Xiao Chong, why are you sleeping here?" A melodious voice rang in his ears, and the gods immediately retreated. Xiao Chong returned to his room, still sitting at his desk, but the book he had been pressing down on was soaked through, as if it had been submerged in water—that was from his drool.

"Oh, I got tired of reading and fell asleep without realizing it!" Xiao Chong was startled awake from his sweet dream and wanted to get angry, but seeing that it was Wu Yuexin, he had no choice but to hold back.

"Don't study so hard! You'll ruin your health!" Wu Yuexin said considerately.

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do, business at the clinic is always so-so, it's so frustrating!"

"Don't worry, didn't you say we'd be busy after the storm?"

"Logically, that's how it is. Weather forecasts are based on reasoning, but they're often inaccurate!"

"That's true. But business will get better eventually. I believe in you! If business improves, that'll be great, we can expand!"

"How do we expand?"

"My Renjitang will be reopened soon. We only have one shop between us, Fatty Pig's Trotter Rice Noodles. I heard he's closing down after one row to go home and find a wife. If we can take over his shop, and combine the three of us, it'll be a ready-made hospital! Even Guangzhou Ninth People's Hospital isn't as big as ours!"

"That's great, Yuexin, your suggestion is wonderful! It's worth all the love I have for you."

"Then please don't ignore me anymore, okay? You were so ignoring me the other day, it really hurt me!"

"No, I wasn't targeting you, don't take it to heart. By the way, will your brother object to our merger?"

"He won't object, and even if he did, I can persuade him. It's just that our expenses will be much higher, I don't know if we can handle it!"

"It's okay, I can manage even if the expenses are high, hehe, little sister, you don't know, do you? I was a millionaire before I even graduated, and in US dollars! This Longxin business seems very modest, but it actually made five million dollars not long after it opened, of course, also in US dollars!"

"Really? Is that true?"

"Of course it's true, there are many things about me that you don't know!"

"Then tell me quickly."

"Back in the day, I single-handedly took on three hundred big men in Chinatown..."

"..."

"Still telling stories? The weather's cleared up! Time to get to work!" Zhang Fenfang, who had arrived at work early, didn't see Xiao Chong and guessed he must still be in bed. She ran to his room and, sure enough, found him there, reminiscing about the old days!

"Really?" Xiao Chong couldn't help but ask.

"Little Chong is amazing! He said it would be sunny yesterday, and it really is sunny today!" Wu Yuexin couldn't help but exclaim.

"Whether it's really amazing or not, we don't know yet. So far, we haven't heard of any disease outbreaks, and we haven't seen many patients coming to see him," Zhang Fenfang said indifferently.

"Well, there will be bread, there will be milk, and there will be patients!" Little Chong comforted himself.

"Sister Fangfang, why are you here so early today? It's not even time for work yet!" Wu Yuexin checked the clock; it was not yet 7:30. Zhang Fenfang usually arrived at Longxin at 8:00 sharp.

"The heavy rain just stopped, and there was thick fog everywhere. It was all hazy. I was worried about driving during rush hour, so I left at 6:00. I drove very slowly, with all the headlights on, and I almost hit someone!" Zhang Fenfang said, still shaken by the experience.

"Then don't come in this kind of weather anymore. Or you could bring the baby to Longxin to stay!" Little Chong felt guilty; he hadn't seen his daughter for almost a week.

"No, it's better not to. The baby is too young. It would be distracting for both of us to come here. It's better for the grandparents to take care of her! Just make sure you visit her often when you have time!" Zhang Fenfang said.

"Okay!" Xiao Chong agreed, but vowed in his heart that no matter how busy he was, he would visit his daughter often.

"Alright, let's get to work. Hopefully, we can have a great start today!" Zhang Fenfang led the way out.

Everyone was already in the clinic. Zhang Zhijie and Wu Yueyang had brewed some premium Tieguanyin tea and were chatting and smoking.

"You two rascals, all you do is chat and joke all day long. You don't do anything serious!" Xiao Chong said, putting on his white coat.

"Tch, we'd like to get some work done, but you'd better give us something serious to do!" Wu Yueyang said, taking a sip of tea.

"Yeah, it's so boring. We can't see any patients, and we don't dare to pick up girls, so all we can do is chat and joke!" Zhang Zhijie also took a sip of tea, speaking with great helplessness, but he seemed to be enjoying himself.

Xiao Chong was about to give them a lecture when a loud "bang" suddenly came from afar, making his heart almost jump out of his chest.

"What was that sound?" Xiao Chong couldn't help but ask.

"What...what sound?" Zhang and Wu asked.

"Wasn't there a bang just now?" Xiao Chong asked doubtfully.

"Boss, are you still asleep? We didn't hear it!" Zhang Zhijie said.

"Yeah, are you hearing things? Should I take a look?" Wu Yueyang said with feigned concern.

"I didn't hear it either! You must have misheard." Nami said after finishing cleaning.

"No, I definitely heard it, Xiao Jie, Wu brothers, come with me! I heard it very clearly, it sounded like something collapsing!" Xiao Chong remembered that the others didn't know qigong and didn't have his level of hearing, so he led the way and ran towards the direction of the sound.

"Ugh, so paranoid first thing in the morning! What a lunatic!" Wu Yueyang helplessly followed him out.

"It's okay, I haven't been getting much exercise in bed lately, consider this my morning workout!" Zhang Zhijie, who was following behind, comforted him.

The three of them were incredibly fast runners, and soon they reached Guangzhang Road. Looking around, they saw that there really was an accident: a tractor-trailer had collided with a bus. The front of the tractor was deformed, and the trailer and the front formed a 90-degree angle, lying deformed across the middle of the road. The bus was lying upside down, like a woman waiting to be pampered. People with minor injuries were constantly crawling out of the broken windows.

Many people were watching, but no one went to help. People watched numbly, indifferent.

"Everyone, call 120 quickly, call a doctor!" Xiao Chong couldn't help but shout at the onlookers!

"Idiot, what are you yelling about? Aren't you a doctor yourself?" a well-hidden voice shouted from the crowd.

"Yeah, is that white coat you're wearing for fun?" another voice rang out from the crowd.

"..." A cacophony of voices erupted, launching personal attacks against Xiao Chong, while ignoring the painful groans coming from the cars.

"Damn it, I'm a doctor, and I almost got completely bewildered by you heartless bastards. Xiao Jie, Wu brothers, quick, find a lathe!" Xiao Chong shouted as he rushed forward, yelling to those who could move, "I'm a doctor, my clinic is 800 meters straight ahead. Anyone who can move and needs treatment, hurry up!"

"Is it free?" a weak voice rang out from among the lightly injured.

"Damn it, you still care about money at a time like this? You're really something! I'll give you all free treatment, okay!" Xiao Chong couldn't help but curse as he climbed through the broken car window and dragged the seriously injured and immobile people out one by one.

White smoke was billowing from the bottom of the car, and sparks were flying everywhere. It could explode at any moment, which was why the onlookers dared not approach.

But Xiao Chong didn't care. Life was more important than Mount Tai; personal safety was nothing to him.

He kept climbing in, then laboriously dragging the injured out. Soon his white coat was black, stained with blood, and he looked utterly disheveled and miserable.

A reporter who arrived first witnessed this scene and did everything in his power to record this touching moment. He frantically pressed the shutter button on the small car with one hand, while continuously filming with a DV camera in the other, constantly asking bystanders about the cause of the accident.

It turned out that in the dense fog, vehicles were moving slowly. Buses are notoriously aggressive; most vehicles would give them a wide berth, and cars following behind them were at a disadvantage because you never knew when it would suddenly brake, catching you off guard and bumping into its rear.

In such terrible weather, any driver… No one dared to let their guard down. Truck drivers were even more cautious, loading their trucks full and turning on all their lights before setting off. However, the goods needed to be cleared through customs and loaded onto a ship, and the owner was pressing them hard

. To avoid delaying them, the drivers had to drive at full speed and pull over. Bus drivers were also careful, but unfortunately, they had drunk six or seven ounces of baijiu (a type of Chinese liquor) the night before for a friend's birthday and were still feeling groggy this morning. Unable to find a replacement, they had to drive anyway. The fog was thick, visibility was poor, and when they spotted a passenger waiting on the side of the road, they braked sharply, swerving from the center to the edge. Their minds were still quite foggy. He was awake but didn't notice the large trailer truck speeding behind him. The result was predictable: the truck driver couldn't brake in time and crashed head-on into the bus's rear. Because of the high speed and the sudden braking, the bus was sent flying through the air, landing on the ground in a ready-to-ride position.

Zhang Zhijie and Wu Yueyang quickly found two flatbed trucks and, seeing the situation, immediately joined the rescue effort. Their actions moved the onlookers, who then joined in.

The seriously injured man was quickly revived amidst everyone's combined efforts . The bus was pulled out, thankfully no one was trapped inside, otherwise it would have been a huge hassle. Nine were seriously injured, and twenty-three were slightly injured. Those who were able to move had already gone to Longxin Clinic. Perhaps they were tempted by Xiao Chong's promise of free treatment, or perhaps Xiao Chong's actions made them believe he was a good doctor who would never cheat them; in any case, they all went.

After being rescued, the people were quickly loaded onto two flatbed trucks like dried fish, and the group headed towards Longxin Clinic. Just as they were leaving, a deafening, earth-shattering explosion occurred.

The bus had exploded; the leaking diesel fuel on board had been ignited by sparks. The intense combustion

caused debris to fly into the air, some even scattering in all directions. Fortunately, the casualties did not escalate.

Everyone turned to look at the scene, their hearts pounding with fear. If the doctor had been even a few seconds slower, he would have been blown to bits.

Chapter Thirty-Five: My Operating Table Is Always Deadly.

The Longxin Clinic was bustling with activity like never before. Even before they got close, they could see the clinic teeming with people, a chaotic scene. Zhang Fenfang and the others were frantically yet methodically treating the lightly injured. This frantic activity and methodical approach seemed contradictory, but that was indeed the situation. As

soon as Xiao Chong entered Longxin, he made a bold decision: "Start surgery! Take the most seriously injured patient first!"

"No way, boss, the family hasn't arrived yet, no one can sign the consent form! If something goes wrong, it'll be a huge problem! And the most seriously injured one could die at any moment!" Zhang Zhijie pointed to a patient lying on a flatbed, barely breathing, with little energy left.

"We can't worry about that now, saving lives is the priority. I'll take full responsibility for all the consequences. Lathe! Operating room ready! Execute immediately!" As the chief physician and the boss, his words were orders. Since he was taking such a big responsibility, let's go along with him and see what happens. Maybe we can even cure the patient! Zhang and Wu obeyed and quickly went to prepare.

Xiao Chong, however, took the man's pulse. A faint breath traveled through the injured man's body. The situation was extremely dire. The injured man had intracranial hemorrhage, chest compression injuries, eleven broken ribs, seven of which were not displaced and were well aligned, while four others were rotated, misaligned, or embedded, puncturing the pleura, causing pneumothorax and hemothorax. One broken rib was 0.3 centimeters away from piercing the heart. There was severe internal bleeding and multiple compression injuries throughout the body. The patient was already in shock; his life was practically over. It

was too dangerous. To operate on such a patient was to gamble with one's future and reputation. Xiao Chong didn't care about all that. Adventure was his hobby, daring was his strength, and reckless, impulsive actions were his specialty. Without a second thought, he brandished his silver needles, instantly inserting them of varying lengths and sizes into the patient's veins and tendons to minimize bleeding!

Seeing Zhang Zhijie push in the lathe, Xiao Chong quickly helped him transfer the injured patient onto it. Then, while pushing him towards the operating room, he called out, "Nami, Xia Xue!"

"Here!" Nami and Xia Xue quickly put down the lightly injured patient and rushed over.

"Nami, prepare anti-shock fluids and hemostatic agents. Establish two intravenous lines simultaneously. Xia Xue, quickly perform a cross-linking blood test to determine his blood type. Encourage blood donations; if they refuse, use money to bleed them dry! Go go go go!" After saying this, Xiao Chong disappeared into the operating room. Nami and Xia Xue didn't dare delay and quickly went to prepare.

Xiao Chong pushed the injured patient into the operating room, where Wu Yueyang had already prepared all the surgical instruments and anesthetics, ready for immediate use.

The operating lights came on,

and the surgery began. "Connect to cardiac monitor, report vital signs!" Xiao Chong gave a concise order. The patient's condition was critical; every second gained was a chance for survival. Even though the King of Hell had some connections with him, he might not give him this much face, especially since this was a dream.

"Blood pressure 60/40, heart rate 45 bpm, respiration 20 breaths/min, pulse 30 bpm!" Wu Yueyang reported the data. He usually seemed rather timid, but on the operating table, he was a completely different person—meticulous, serious, calm amidst chaos, and composed!

"Thank goodness, not as bad as I thought! Begin the surgery!" Xiao Chong said, letting out a small sigh of relief.

"Not bad? At this rate, he'll definitely be done for in half an hour!" Zhang Zhijie said anxiously. Using such a critically ill patient for surgery was simply reckless.

"Stop babbling! Get ready, surgery begins!" Xiao Chong said, raising his hand to reveal three silver needles, ready to insert them into the injured person to anesthetize them. However, Wu Yueyang handed him an anesthetic needle instead. Xiao Chong glanced at him, shook his head, and then inserted the silver needle into the injured person's body.

"No need for anesthesia?" Wu Yueyang asked curiously.

"It's already anesthetized. This is a family-inherited anesthesia method from the eldest brother's family. Haven't you tried it? Hehe!" Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but tease him, seeing his dazed expression.

"Xiao Jie, you'll operate! Open the chest, the sixth anterior rib, make a horizontal incision, eight centimeters long," Xiao Chong said, pointing to one of the injured person's ribs.

"I...I'm a little scared!" Zhang Zhijie gripped the knife, unsure what to do. He'd never handled a knife before, at most he'd been a second assistant. Xiao Chong's sudden move caught him completely off guard, his hand trembling as he held the knife. This was cutting human flesh, not pork!

"You son of a bitch, you're a complete coward!" Xiao Chong angrily kicked him in the butt.

Zhang Zhijie felt the kick hurt, but dared not complain or rub it. It was already sterile; he could only look at him with a pitiful expression, his hand still trembling.

"Why didn't you do it yourself?" Wu Yueyang asked.

"If I did the surgery and the vital signs suddenly dropped during the operation, would you two have any way to save him?" Xiao Chong glared at him. At that moment, Nami had already prepared the IV fluids and came in to administer them to the injured man.

"I have no choice, but do you? It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering!" Wu Yueyang hadn't finished speaking when he also got kicked in the butt. Judging from the pained expression on his face, this kick was clearly much harder than Zhang Zhijie's!

"Damn it, if I didn't have a way, would it be your turn to operate? Hurry! Who's going to do it!" Xiao Chong's eyes flashed with cold killing intent. If the two of them didn't make their cuts soon, he would start using them as guinea pigs.

"I'll do it!" Wu Yueyang said, snatching the knife from Zhang Zhijie's hand, about to cut. Zhang Zhijie, however, reached out and stopped him, saying, "Let me do it. Everyone has a first time, let him have his first time!"

"Pah!" Nami, who was administering an IV to the injured person, couldn't help but spit on him. After quickly finishing, she went outside; there were still many people waiting!

"Hurry up, what's the rush?" Xiao Chong was ten times rougher than usual on the operating table, and performing alongside Zhang and Wu would at least require more effort.

Wu Yueyang had no choice but to hand the knife back to him. Zhang Zhijie, upon receiving it, immediately began slicing into the wounded man without hesitation. His movements seemed firm and steady, but the cuts he made were twisted like small snakes.

"I...I did my best!" Zhang Zhijie said nervously, seeing Xiao Chong's eyes, which seemed capable of killing an elephant. Unsurprisingly, he received another kick in the buttocks.

"You're useless even if you survive, cutting like this! You dare call yourself a doctor! Old fool Wu, what are you standing there for? Quickly suck out the blood! Zhang Zhijie, I'm warning you, if you make another mistake and kill him, I'll make sure you and he die together!" Xiao Chong's expression was extremely grim, not at all joking. Zhang Zhijie felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly abandoned his muddled, carefree attitude and, with a similarly serious face, continued slicing.

"Go down layer by layer, avoiding all the major blood vessels. Take it slow, don't be nervous. Yes, good job. Be careful, go down further, stop! It seems to be the broken bone. This bone has already penetrated from the edge of the heart to behind it. But thankfully, it hasn't gone through the heart, otherwise even a celestial being couldn't save him. Wu brothers, now pull it out. Carefully pull this bone towards the outer edge of the heart. Do you see this? This is the aorta. You all know how high the pressure is. The broken bone is extremely sharp. If you accidentally cut it even a little, the arterial blood will spray onto the ceiling, and he'll be dead. So you must pull it outwards, absolutely do not let the broken part touch the aorta. Remember, remember. Don't be nervous, concentrate. Come on, I'll count to three, everyone pull together." Xiao Chong was also nervous. This crucial moment was like the first time a virgin was deflowered; whether he could succeed or not depended entirely on this!

Zhang Zhijie and Wu Yueyang placed their hands on the broken bone at the same time, and Xiao Chong also stared intently at the electrocardiogram monitor. "Three. Two. One. Pull!"

The broken bone was pulled out bit by bit, and Xiao Chong's heart was in his throat. At this crucial moment, there couldn't be any accidents. The slightest mishap, the slightest tremor, could lead to irreversible consequences—the injured person would surely die.

Thank goodness, the broken bone was finally pulled out, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. The next steps were relatively simple: repairing the lung tissue, repositioning the fracture… By the time they finished suturing, Wu Yueyang and Zhang Zhijie's buttocks were almost swollen from Xiao Chong's kicks.

After the injured person received a blood transfusion, their condition stabilized. Although they were still unconscious, everyone knew that their life had been snatched from the jaws of death!

"Next!" After the patient was taken away by Nami, Xiao Chong gave a brief order. Performing only one surgery wasn't enough for him; he hadn't operated in far too long.

The patient was quickly placed on the table. This injured person had multiple cuts and crush injuries all over their body, appearing bloody and terrifying, but in reality, there was no danger to their life; not even a fracture was visible.

"Ten minutes!" Xiao Chong said, looking at the numerous cuts and gashes all over the injured man's body.

"Ten minutes what?" Wu and Zhang asked simultaneously.

"Finished within ten minutes!" Xiao Chong said, quickly cutting open all the injured man's clothes with scissors.

"Boss, that's a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it? This guy has at least a hundred wounds. Finished in ten minutes? Do you think we're gods?" Zhang Zhijie said.

"If you two can't do it, I definitely can too. Stop arguing! Quickly clean and disinfect the wounds!" Xiao Chong said, already inserting silver needles into the injured man's body. He picked up two large bottles of disinfectant and poured them over the injured man, as if he were giving him a bath.

"Wow!" Wu and Zhang couldn't help but exclaim. Was the disinfectant a free gift? What a waste!

After pouring it out, Xiao Chong immediately picked up a brush and began scrubbing the wounds all over the injured man's body, his movements as if he were washing clothes, and even jeans, as if he wouldn't get them clean without vigorous scrubbing. There's none of that gentle, delicate approach to disinfecting—just a little cotton wool, a touch of alcohol, and a careless, almost painless method. That's only for small wounds. For large, heavily contaminated wounds, you have to be ruthless. If you're afraid of causing pain and are as gentle as if you're just tickling, the wound will hurt even more. The gentler you are, the slower it heals. The more ruthless you are, the faster you'll finish. Haven't you seen experienced nurses give you injections? They tighten the skin on your buttocks, and with a swift, jab-like motion, the needle's in. You feel pain, but before you even fully grasp the sensation, they've already done it! Inexperienced nurses, on the other hand, are all gentle and delicate, inserting the needle little by little, as if afraid you'll feel pain. You see her as gentle, but she's not your wife; she'll only make your pain doubled.

Seeing him scrubbing so enthusiastically, Zhang and Wu quickly followed suit, picking up brushes and scrubbing as well. Suddenly, the three grown men were doing women's work around the operating table, scrubbing and scrubbing…

After cutting away the dead tissue and disinfecting, they began stitching. The three men then embarked on their embroidery project. This surgery was a bit strange; it was entirely a test of a woman's skills. Fortunately, these three were quite capable, truly adept in both social settings and domestic duties, so the embroidery work was no challenge for them. They finished in just ten minutes. Looking at the black, centipede-like, zipper-like stitches on the injured person's body, two words: perfect.

The third, the fourth, the fifth… and the sixth? No, the families who rushed over requested transfers, so they were all transferred. Xiao Chong and his team acted too quickly. Originally, everyone wanted to be transferred, but when they arrived, the surgeries were already completed, and they seemed to have gone quite well, so they stopped requesting transfers. Instead, they demanded compensation for medical expenses and lost wages from the driver who only suffered minor injuries…

When Xiao Chong and his team came out of the operating room, cameras and microphones were immediately pointed at them, the flashes blinding them. It turned out that the media, who had been reporting on the floods for a whole month and were already tired of it, rushed over after receiving a tip about a car accident on Guangzhang Road. Normally, in a large city like Guangcheng, with continuous torrential rain, car accidents happen every day, and deaths and injuries are inevitable, so it's not unusual. But this time, it was a bus accident, and the number of injured was so high. Moreover, the reporters heard that these injured people were all taken to a small clinic, and the doctor who treated the people at the scene even claimed that he wouldn't charge them. This was good material, so they rushed over to investigate the ins and

outs.

"Don't film! Don't film!" Xiao Chong quickly covered his face and ran away hastily.

Seeing this, the family members who had been watching immediately voiced their opinions.

"Look, that surgeon is truly a good person. Not only did he perform surgery on our family member for free, but he also didn't want to be famous. This kind of Lei Feng spirit is so rare in today's society.

" "If I did such a good deed, I would definitely let the whole world know," said one of the slightly injured patients.

"You, just give me a break. Wasn't that you who asked if it was free? I heard you clearly!" said another slightly injured patient.

"..."

Seeing this, Wu Yuexin quickly followed Xiao Chong and went into the office with him.

"Brother Xiao Chong, you're so kind, doing good deeds without seeking fame or fortune," Wu Yuexin said to Xiao Chong with a charming smile. This man was indeed worthy of her love, although she didn't know if this love was right or wrong.

"Oh my god, if I don't seek fame or fortune, what will our Longxin employees eat in the future!" "

Then why didn't you seize the opportunity to advertise to the media?"

"Look at me!" Xiao Chong pointed to his black overcoat, then to his filthy face, and said, "You want me to appear on camera like this? That's going to scare people to death! Even if it doesn't, how will anyone recognize me looking like this! Come out here! Quick, find me a clean white overcoat!" After saying that, he went to the tap, scooped up water, poured in hand soap, and frantically washed his dirty face.

"Ah—" Wu Yuexin almost fainted, but quickly composed herself and went to find him some clothes.

The newly dressed Xiao Chong reappeared in front of the media, giving the two guys who were posing and grinning like idiots while being photographed a fierce look: "You two are also very dirty, go wash up!"

Xiao Chong's compassionate and warm words failed to move them, but his vicious gaze chilled them to the bone, so they quickly made their escape! "

Hello everyone, I am Ouyang Chong, the chief surgeon for these six surgeries and the head of this clinic. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!" Xiao Chong greeted the media with what he thought was a charming but idiotic smile.

They'd seen people who loved the limelight, but never one like this, needing to dress up before even appearing! The media had always avoided them like the plague, but someone so fearless and willing to offer themselves up was extremely rare, so they bombarded him with questions.

"Dr. Ouyang, were you the one who climbed into the car to rescue people?" a reporter asked.

"Yes, but I was only the first. Many others went in to help later!" Xiao Chong stated truthfully.

"I heard that the bus that was towed away was still spitting flames and could explode at any moment. Everyone was afraid. Why weren't you afraid?"

"Actually, I was afraid too. I'm afraid of death. Even ants cling to life, let alone humans." "But seeing so many injured people still inside the cars, I rushed in without thinking."

"Dr. Ouyang's character is truly noble and worthy of our emulation. So, may I ask you, why did you perform surgery on them for free?"

"When I rushed in to save people, one of the injured asked me if it was free. I saw his hand was bleeding profusely and was afraid he wouldn't come for treatment because he was worried about the cost, so I blurted it out! Although we in Longxin also need to make a living, and we have our own difficulties, no one wants natural disasters or man-made calamities. For example, the snowstorm during the Lunar New Year, the hand-foot-and-mouth disease outbreak, the Wenchuan earthquake, the recent floods, and typhoons—none of these are things we can predict. The courage and compassion people show in the face of all these disasters move me deeply! Although I have already donated a considerable amount of money, this time I still decided to give them all free surgery!" Xiao Chong's words moved everyone present. Those with slightly more sensitive hearts were already in tears, while the lightly injured patient who had asked if the procedure was free was filled with shame.

"Dr. Ouyang, are you the doctor who worked continuously for 72 hours at the Sino-American Friendship Hospital, performing 116 surgeries?"

"Yes! Actually, I was still in advanced training at the time. After completing my training, I came to Guangcheng. Guangcheng is a civilized city, and I fell in love with it the moment I arrived. I love its simple and honest people, its kind and warm-hearted nature. So I decided to settle down here and contribute my share to the people of Guangcheng. At the same time, I also appeal to more ambitious young people to come to Guangcheng and participate in its development!" "***, you're really good at bragging, even getting involved with Guangcheng!"

His words caused a lot of controversy, especially among the women at Longxin Clinic: "You only like those flashy, alluring girls from Guangcheng, don't you?!

" "Dr. Ouyang, you share the same name as that fierce soldier who won the Assault Hero Cup for our country. Are you related?"

"Hehe, a little embarrassed, actually I am him!"

"Wow, I've been searching for you everywhere, and suddenly you're right here! Can you sign your name for me?" "A family member of an injured person, a fanatical admirer of the 'Iron-Blooded Killer,' suddenly pushed forward, grabbed Xiao Chong's hand excitedly, and caused a flurry of flashes from the cameras, pushing the interview to an unprecedented climax.

After the interview, the reporters left, and Xiao Chong puffed out his chest, tossed his hair, and said to the ceiling: 'Who can't talk nonsense!'

Because of today's unexpected situation, seriously injured patients were admitted, and Longxin Clinic suddenly had an inpatient department, changing its original ten-hour operation to twenty-four hours.

This sudden and drastic change caught the staff of Longxin Clinic off guard, so an emergency meeting was held!

Xiao Chong spoke first: 'Ahem, today was indeed as Fangfang said…'

'How many times have I told you, don't call me 'sister,' if you keep doing that I won't be polite!' Zhang Fenfang said unhappily.

'Okay, okay, I'm scared, alright? Ahem, today was indeed as Fangfang said, a complete disaster!'

'It was a disaster, look, there's blood everywhere, just cleaning up is enough to give me a headache!'" "Nami looked at the bustling hall and groaned.

"Yeah, it looks lively today, but because of one sentence from our boss, it's worse than ever. If we estimate based on revenue, we've lost at least 100,000 today, even though the actual cost is less than 5,000! But that's just for now! There are still six patients hospitalized, and they won't be discharged for at least a month and a half. We've really lost big this time!" Ye Yiyu, who was in charge of the accounts, was most worried about the income.

"Don't worry about that. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub! Let's not talk about that! By the way, everyone has worked hard all day, I was going to..."

"Are you going to cook yourself? No need, really. I appreciate your kindness on behalf of everyone!" Zhang Fenfang felt nauseous just thinking about the delicious food Xiao Chong cooked.

Wu Yuexin immediately exclaimed, "Xiao Chong cooking himself? What's wrong with that? It's a good thing, I haven't even..."

"Little girl, shut up! If you don't want to vomit bile, you'd better not say anything!" "The gentle Ye Yiyu suddenly yelled at her sharply, startling her. But when everyone told her what Xiao Chong had cooked, she couldn't help but feel grateful to Ye Yiyu.

'Why didn't you let me finish? I said I was going to have a table of top-quality food delivered from Mong Kok Restaurant!' Xiao Chong said discontentedly. He then made a phone call to Fang Xinzhong.

'Wow!' Everyone present cheered at the same time, but Ye Yiyu looked distressed. Mong Kok Restaurant? Top-quality food? How much would that cost!

"Before we eat, let me assign tasks!" Xiao Chong said, seeing everyone quiet down. "Because of this sudden situation, Longxin has been elevated to another level—the hospital level. Although we can't really call ourselves a hospital yet, due to this emergency, we must assign tasks according to hospital regulations. Let's assign the day and night shifts. I volunteer for the night shift, and Fangfang will take over the day shift. Others can volunteer!"

"I'll work the night shift!" Xia Xue was the first to raise her hand. This way, she could go home to rest during the day and take care of her family.

"I'll also work the night shift!" Wu Yuexin said, not for any particular reason, but just to help Xiao Chong.

No one else raised their hands. Wu Yueyang and Zhang Zhijie were both heavy sleepers; not sleeping for a night would kill them. Naimi was Longxin's only nurse; if she worked the night shift, there would be no one to work during the day. Ye Yiyu managed the accounts and pharmacy, so she definitely couldn't work the night shift.

"There's not much to do tonight, three people are enough! Longxin is in a transitional period, everyone may be a little tired for now, but the more you give now, the more you will receive later. This is my promise to you! Now, meeting adjourned, everyone come with me to do ward rounds, we'll eat in a bit!"

"Yay!"

"..."

For others, working a night shift is nothing special, but for Xiao Chong, this night shift was a

complete mess. Chapter Thirty-Seven: Love and Relationships That Are Hard to Unravel

The night was as cool as water!

The sun that occasionally peeked out during the day made people feel the heat of summer, a bit too hot. But at night, it returned to the coolness of a rainy night, with a slight breeze, feeling even more refreshing and pleasant.

The first night shift, the work wasn't complicated, closing the glass door but not locking it tightly, waiting for emergency patients, but this situation rarely occurred, if there were real emergencies, they would go to the hospital, why would they come to your small clinic. Xiao Chong's main task was to take care of the six seriously injured patients to prevent adverse postoperative conditions.

When Xiao Chong returned from his third round of ward rounds, he found Wu Yuexin asleep on his desk. A smile even lingered on her delicate, fair face. Was the little girl having a sweet dream? Xiao Chong couldn't help but smile too! He didn't know why, but while he easily fell for other women, he just couldn't muster that desire to conquer or possess her. It wasn't because she wasn't pretty; she was charming, and more innocent than any of the glamorous women in the clinic. Perhaps it was this rare innocence that made Xiao Chong hesitant to make a move.

Subconsciously, he treated her like his younger sister, caring for her as much as he would Wu Yueyang, but never crossing the line. He liked her, but this liking was different from his liking for Nami, Ye Yiyu, Zhang Fenfang, and others. They were like essential meat in his life; he needed to eat them, he had to. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't eat meat for two or three days. But Wu Yuexin was different. She was like a flower he liked—pleasing to the eye from afar, fragrant up close. But he couldn't just pick the flower and eat it because of this liking! So he always stood at a distance, watching her, occasionally sniffing her, but never daring to get too close!

He thought this was a good thing for her! He already had enough women around him; one more or one less didn't matter. He had plenty of energy and wasn't afraid of not being able to satisfy these youthful, restless, and passionate girls. But one more meant one more burden in his heart, one more mental pressure. He also wanted to break off one and discard it, like a bear breaking off a piece of land. But he wasn't a bear; a bear is a beast, he was a human. Although he was like breaking off a piece of land, a bear would break off a piece and discard it, but he would break off a piece and develop feelings for it, unable to bear discarding it, yet still wanting to bring it home. He counted, and was surprised to find that he had almost run out of ten fingers.

He gently draped his coat over her shoulders, quietly left the room, and passed by the laboratory, where he saw Xia Xue fiddling with something. As if possessed, he went in.

"What are you busy with?" Xiao Chong asked, his eyes fixed on her beautifully shaped buttocks, his lower body already aroused.

"Just getting some lab samples ready, almost done, is something wrong?" Xia Xue didn't turn around, but she could still feel his sharp gaze behind her.

"Nothing!" Xiao Chong shook his head. His eyes remained fixed on her; she was like meat, he wanted to devour her.

"Where's Yuexin?" Xia Xue turned around, pretending to be calm as she met his gaze, though her panic was fleeting, he easily caught it.

"She's asleep!" Xiao Chong looked at her without flinching, just like when they had their duel that day.

"This little girl dares to sleep on the night shift, she deserves a pay cut!" Xia Xue couldn't help but feel flustered, her eyes shifting and darting around for the first time.

"It's not her fault, we were all too busy today, everyone's tired! You must be tired too!" Xiao Chong still looked at her affectionately.

"My major is laboratory work, so I haven't been of much help. I'm not tired!" Xia Xue felt a sudden, inexplicable unease and couldn't bear it any longer, turning her gaze elsewhere.

"If you're tired, go get some sleep. I can manage on my own!"

"No need. But you, aren't you tired? You haven't stopped coughing since this morning!" His words were simple, yet they revealed undisguised concern.

"Me? Of course I'm fine!"

"Then aren't you tired of staring at me like this?"

"Cough—"

"Why do you keep coughing? I've seen you cough countless times today. Is your throat sore?"

"No, it's just that you're so beautiful that I can't take my eyes off you!" "You

little rascal! You've used that trick to fool a lot of girls, haven't you!" Xia Xue was secretly pleased, but outwardly she was dismissive.

"You seem to enjoy it, don't you?" Xiao Chong said with a mischievous smile.

"I, I'm not!" A blush immediately appeared on Xia Xue's face, her expression revealing many secrets.

"But I am a little tired today!" Xiao Chong said, shifting his position and sitting down in a chair to look at her.

"It must be tough on you guys, doing six surgeries in one go."

"What can we do? We're men!" Xiao Chong said, rubbing his sore neck.

"If... if you didn't look at me like that, I'd consider giving you a massage!"

"Really?" Xiao Chong had massaged many women, but few women had massaged him, so he quickly looked away.

Xia Xue kept her word and immediately went behind him to massage him. Although it was a bit tough, it was better than being insulted by his gaze. His eyes really made her feel like she was being raped, as if she were naked in front of him.

"Mmm—oh!" Her movements were precise, and her technique was decent, making Xiao Chong groan in pleasure.

"Please, don't make such a scary sound!" Xia Xue was almost scared out of her wits by his cry. "Ugh,

it feels good, but I can't even moan? Is there no justice in this world?"

Xia Xue was taken aback by his words, then smiled. It was rare to see someone with such thick skin. "Heh, do you even know what shame is?"

"I know in front of others, but not in front of you!"

"Why?"

"Because you've made me so infatuated and disoriented that I don't even know who I am anymore. How could I possibly know what shame is?"

"You're such a smooth talker!"

"That's only because you like hearing it!"

"You're a complete scoundrel, but your performance today was truly outstanding."

"You liked it?"

"Pfft, I wouldn't say I liked it, at most I admired it!"

"In what way? I did a lot of things today!"

"I fooled the reporters and the patients' families!"

"I'd like to hear the details."

"Let's start with the patient requesting a transfer after your surgery! Your three reasons were truly outrageous. First, the patient wasn't fit to move right after surgery; what if something happened on the way? It would only harm both themselves and others. Second, you performed the surgery; other hospitals might not know your capabilities. And improper post-operative care can have serious consequences, even life-threatening ones. Third, you said that although Longxin is just a small clinic, its surgical equipment and ward conditions are no worse than those of a top-tier hospital, and precisely because it's a small clinic, the care is even more attentive!"

"This… I admit I misled them. Even if Longxin is good, it can't compare to a top-tier hospital!"

"And that interview segment... When you first left with your face covered, I thought you were just putting on an act, not really seizing the opportunity to advertise for Longxin! Then you came back, changed your clothes, and washed your face. You even deliberately acted like you cared a lot about your two subordinates, telling them to wash up too, showing you weren't trying to steal the spotlight, but also showing you were considerate of your subordinates. And what you said later made me laugh so hard my stomach almost burst. You not only know how to brag, but you brag without even thinking, you're a master of the art of bragging. You not only advertised for yourself and Longxin, but also, fearing it wouldn't be good enough to get on TV, you dragged Guangcheng into it too. What I found funniest was when you said you were an iron-willed soldier and that you donated a lot of money to the disaster area!"

"I'm speechless, all of this is true!"

"Come on, there are no reporters now, so stop bragging!"

"Damn, I really am a deadly soldier! You don't believe me? Ask Zhang Zhijie. I brought him with me to the Assault Hero Cup, and I really donated a lot of money. You can ask Ye Yiyu, who's in charge of the accounts. She keeps detailed records of every expenditure. You can check the ledger and you'll see."

"Oh my god, are you serious?"

"If it wasn't steamed, was it boiled?"

"I'm dizzy!" Xia Xue said, pretending not to faint, but Xiao Chong immediately grabbed her and hugged her tightly!

"What are you doing? Let me go, let me go!" Xia Xue struggled.

Xiao Chong picked her up by the waist and placed her on a long inspection table. He didn't dare to sweep his hand across the table as usual, because this place was not like his desk. Everything on his desk was less valuable than a small utensil here. The items on this table were very expensive; he had personally paid for each one. He didn't dare to go against his own wallet.

He carefully placed her on the table, then squeezed between her legs, pressing his body close to hers, and began to grope her haphazardly.

"No, don't do this!" Xia Xue frantically tried to stop him, but she couldn't stop the invasion from below. She was unable to escape the assault of those demonic hands, and soon she was panting heavily. A blush appeared on her fair face, which only made Xiao Chong more aroused. His hands slipped inside her clothes without hesitation, caressing her two firm breasts. The texture of kneading her breasts along with her bra wasn't as pleasurable as when she was naked, but it had a different kind of charm.

Xia Xue's sensitive areas were attacked, and a jolt of electricity ran through her body. She couldn't help but tense up, which made her legs clamp his crotch even tighter. Xiao Chong sensed her excitement and used one of his large hands to reach down to her mysterious mound.

Xia Xue was shocked when she saw this. She quickly reached out to cover herself and stop him.

"You don't like it?" Xiao Chong stopped and looked at her affectionately.

"I..." Xia Xue hesitated. His deep eyes not only made her flustered but also made her lose herself.

"Say it!" Xiao Chong withdrew his hand, gently embracing her, his hands softly stroking her back, making her feel warm and sweet.

"You shouldn't treat me like this!" Xia Xue said softly. She knew she was already poisoned by him. She had fallen hopelessly in love with him, starting from that kiss!

"Then how should I treat you?"

"You should stay far away from me, don't come near me!"

"Why?"

"What I want, you can't give me!"

"What do you want?"

"I want a man who belongs only to me, not a man to share with others!" Xia Xue wasn't an idiot; on the contrary, she was very smart. She couldn't hide the flirtatious glances Xiao Chong exchanged with the women in the clinic, and she was even more alarmed by the tenderness he inadvertently revealed on the phone. How many women were behind this man? She roughly counted seven or eight.

Xiao Chong paused for a moment upon hearing this, looked at her deeply, and then pulled away from her. "Yes, I can't give you that. I'm sorry, I disturbed you!" He spoke lightly, as if he had knocked on the wrong door, but only he knew the pain within.

No woman had ever spoken to him like that before. Her words shocked him and instantly jolted him awake. He had only thought of possession, never considering the feelings of others. He always spoke of love, promising to treat every woman he had a lifetime of kindness and love, yet he couldn't even give her the most basic title. What right did he have to speak of love? In this era of gender equality and monogamy, a man possessing multiple women is not something to be proud of; rather, it is irresponsible, shameful, and unacceptable to society.

He was consumed by deep confusion and self-reproach, leaving the lab looking utterly dejected. Xia Xue watched his retreating figure, tears silently streaming down her face.

Undeniably, he was an irresistibly outstanding man. If he didn't have other women, she would have thrown herself into his arms without hesitation. But now, she couldn't. His heart was already occupied by someone else. Even if there was a place reserved for her, she didn't want it; she didn't want this incomplete love.

This decision was made after she learned he had many women; it was resolute and would not be easily swayed. But why did her heart ache so much when she watched him leave?

When Xiao Chong returned to the office, Wu Yuexin was already awake, writing medical records for six seriously wounded soldiers.

"Brother Xiao Chong!" Wu Yuexin called out to him as he entered.

"..." Xiao Chong was lost in thought, pondering Xia Xue's words.

"Brother Xiao Chong, what's wrong?" Wu Yuexin asked with concern, seeing his absent-mindedness.

Xiao Chong looked up at her and suddenly asked inexplicably, "Yuexin, would you be willing to share a man with someone else for the rest of your life?"

Wu Yuexin was startled by his words, thinking he was asking if she was willing to follow him and love him along with Zhang Fenfang and the others. Her face immediately turned red. "Why, why are you asking this?"

"Just answer me whether you're willing or not," Xiao Chong looked at her intently.

His question confused her, and his gaze made her even more flustered. She didn't have the courage to meet his eyes and could only lower her head: "I, I don't know!"

Wu Yuexin didn't answer his question directly, but he knew she was unwilling. Not only her, but no woman would be willing to share the same man with someone else unless there was absolutely no other choice.

"Hehe, don't be nervous, I was just asking casually. You continue writing, I'll go check on the patients!" Seeing her embarrassed and helpless expression, Xiao Chong regretted his rashness and quickly changed the subject, practically fleeing the office, leaving Wu Yuexin looking bewildered and melancholy.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Releasing a Salted Fish into the Pond—A

Patient's Family Member, Seeing the Doctor Arrive Again, couldn't help but admire his conscientious and meticulous work attitude. Today was his seventh round of checks. His warm concern and attentive care moved the patient and their family to tears. It wasn't that they lacked experience staying in large hospitals, but daily rounds were usually only once, twice, or three times unless absolutely necessary. And even then, they were always very formal, their faces expressionless. But here, there was no need to call; if you wanted a doctor, they would appear immediately. Whatever the problem or need, as long as you asked, he would answer and solve it for you. Here, they truly felt what it meant to have the heart of a doctor.

Is Xiao Chong really that great? Half and half, I'd say! To say he only thinks of the patients would be hypocritical. He's not that great. Treating and saving lives is his duty, something he has to do without hesitation. Whether he likes it or not, he has to do it. The professional ethics his father instilled in him from childhood wouldn't allow him to stand by and watch someone die. When the accident happened, he genuinely didn't think too much; saving lives was purely an instinctive act. But he also needs to eat and live. Offering free services is just a form of advertising; losing money is like a senior doctor making rounds in a large hospital—once, twice, no more, unless absolutely necessary. His principle is simple: make money, but make sure you give it willingly. At the same time, he must be true to his conscience.

Major media outlets in Guangcheng rushed to report on the car accident, but even more praised the chief physician of Longxin Clinic, Ouyang Chong, for his selfless rescue, courage, and philanthropy. The power of the media is terrifying; its propaganda... Its infectivity is tens of thousands of times stronger than the plague; as long as you haven't lost your senses, it's hard not to get infected. Xiao Chong deeply understands the media's powerful ability to distort the truth. So after the interview, he treated them to a meal at a restaurant in Mong Kok, treating them to good cigarettes, wine, and food. Before they left, he secretly slipped each of them a small tip for their hard work, and everyone was happy.

So the next day, the touching story of the chief doctor of Longxin Clinic bravely crawling into a bus that could explode at any moment to save the injured was widely publicized in major media outlets. Of course, a very small number of media outlets condemned it as a publicity stunt, but it was only a very small minority and not enough to cause a stir.

This time, Xiao Chong truly became a celebrity, with a 100% head-turning rate on the street. Because this time, unlike the previous two times, when he collapsed on a stretcher in the operating room at the Sino-American Friendship Hospital, this time he was on camera... A sleeping beauty, before the scar appeared on his face, was a complete pretty boy, handsome as he was, but few could recognize him. The second time was during the Hero Assault Cup competition, his face was covered in red, green, and black ink, with only one white spot—his teeth—when he smiled. This time, however, he was without makeup, showing his true face. The camera's close-ups, zooming in again and again, clearly etched the lines of his face, the most striking and glaring feature still being that manly scar. Now, it's hard not to recognize him on the street.

Becoming a celebrity brought Xiao Chong both joy and worry. Fame is crucial for a doctor; with fame comes profit and status. His worry was that to meet He Yu in secret, he had to avoid the paparazzi, although this wasn't difficult for someone with exceptional counter-surveillance skills. He was strong, but having to act like a thief every time made him feel terrible. Even celebrities have their frustrations!

Longxin Clinic became famous overnight, its reputation spreading throughout Guangcheng. People flocked there seeking medical help and, incidentally, to witness the arrogant, invincible doctor's prowess. Xiao Chong welcomed everyone, whether they came for novelty or for treatment. He treated everyone, young and old, men and women alike. Those who were sick were treated, and even those who weren't, like Uncle Zhao, were tricked into developing some illness and given IV drips for nutritional supplements. With

so many patients, Xiao Chong worked day and night, switching between night and day shifts, only getting two or three hours of rest a day at most. After a few days, he was exhausted, while Zhang Zhijie and Wu Yueyang were still leisurely reading newspapers, smoking, drinking tea, and chatting. Xiao Chong couldn't stand it anymore. He called them over and gave them a good scolding before asking, "What are you two up to? You're so busy, and you still have the mind to watch a male dog kill a cat!"

"Boss, what does 'male dog kills cat' mean?" Zhang Zhijie asked, puzzled.

Xiao Chong was about to explain when Wu Yueyang interrupted, "Idiot, that's Hakka dialect. It means he's so busy he's practically drowning in a mountain of work, and we're just sitting around watching! The subtext is: we're just good-for-nothings, all we know is eating, drinking, and relieving ourselves, we can't do anything else!"

"Oh! I see. Boss, please don't speak your hometown's gibberish!" Zhang Zhijie exclaimed, suddenly understanding, then continued, "It's not that we don't want to work. You need to give us something to do!"

"Exactly! You're a renowned doctor now, but we aren't. Patients all specifically seek you out by name. We're full of enthusiasm and passion, wanting to treat them with the heart of a healer, but they completely ignore us. If we say a few more words, they accuse us of being shameless and suspect us of having ulterior motives. Why should we bother with this thankless task? We'd be better off drinking some premium Tieguanyin tea to cultivate our temperament, going to the toilet more often, promoting metabolism and fluid circulation—wouldn't that be better for our health?" Wu Yueyang went on and on, each reason more compelling than the last. He wanted to talk for another half hour, but Zhang Zhijie tried to speak several times, and as a brother in adversity, he had to stop.

“Boss, we also want to do more work and get more kickbacks, but look at you, ever since you went on TV and became famous, becoming the idol of all the ladies, young women, and middle-aged women, where are we supposed to see any patients! You’ve monopolized them all, just like these women in Long Benshu’s heart, tell me, which one of them isn’t yours…” Zhang Zhijie hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Xiao Chong’s face darken, and two intimidating glints flashed in his eyes. He couldn’t help but feel a chill and swallowed the rest of his words.

“What are you glaring at? Last time on the operating table, you kicked us, and we haven’t dared to sit on a chair for days. We haven’t settled the score with you yet! Old Zhang, let’s go together and teach him a lesson, so he’ll never dare to ride roughshod over us again…” Wu Yueyang’s words also stopped halfway through, because he saw Xiao Chong’s elusive silver needles already appear in his hand.

"Brother Wu, if it weren't for your sister, I would have crippled you and stuffed you in the trash can long ago..."

"Stop bringing up my sister, let's fight one-on-one!" Wu Yueyang shouted, raising his fist.

"Old Wu, Old Wu, don't be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil! You can't beat him, I can't even last three moves against him!" Zhang Zhijie quickly tried to stop him.

"Old Zhang, don't boost his morale and diminish your own, step aside, I'm going to teach this guy a lesson today." Seeing someone trying to persuade him, Wu Yueyang became even more aggressive!

"Don't ask for trouble, you can't even block one of my moves, and you still want to challenge him, Old Wu, save your breath!" Zhang Zhijie knew his own limitations, a lesson learned from years of being beaten, a valuable piece of experience.

"Is, is that so?" Wu Yueyang's mind seemed to finally catch on. He couldn't beat Zhang Zhijie, Zhang Zhijie couldn't beat Xiao Chong, so naturally he couldn't beat Xiao Chong either. How could he only understand such a simple truth now? But it was too late for him to understand, because Xiao Chong had already reached the door, beckoned to him, and then walked towards the backyard.

"Old Wu, take care of yourself! I can't bear to watch!" Zhang Zhijie covered his eyes, unable to bear looking, and sang a sorrowful song in his heart: I have already seen a tragedy unfolding, a play without joy...

"Tch, who's afraid of who? You can't beat him, but that doesn't mean I can't. Old Zhang, prepare a few bottles of medicated wine to rub on his wounds!" Wu Yueyang, seemingly oblivious to his impending doom, walked confidently towards the backyard.

Zhang Zhijie watched his retreating figure, a gust of wind blowing from the fan carrying a sense of tragic grandeur, just as the saying goes: "The wind is howling, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs never to return."

Half an hour later, Wu Yueyang returned with his head held high, shouting at the silent Xiao Chong behind him, "Don't let me see you again! Every time I see you, I'll beat you up! Ouch!"

Zhang Zhijie was puzzled. Had he won? His tone suggested it! But upon closer inspection, he was dumbfounded. Wu Yueyang's face was bruised and swollen, and he was limping. His upright posture was only because his nose was bleeding.

"Xiao Jie, where's the liniment he asked you to prepare?" Xiao Chong asked.

"Oh, here it is, boss. Where are you hurt? Let me put some on you!" Zhang Zhijie picked up the liniment from the table and walked towards Xiao Chong.

"Why should I put it on you? I'm not hurt. Give it to him." Xiao Chong smiled at Wu Yueyang.

"What are you looking at? Do you want another beating?" Wu Yueyang shouted angrily.

"Okay! Come on!" Xiao Chong said, grabbing his fist and walking towards him.

Wu Yueyang looked at the huge fist that had just kissed him countless times, and felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly put on a smile and said, "I was just kidding, I was just kidding. Can't you take a joke?"

"I never joke like that!" Xiao Chong said, punching him in the nose. Blood immediately splattered like a flower. Artery rupture? Nasal bone fracture? No, Xiao Chong didn't use any force at all. It was just that he already had an injury on his nose, which made it look so terrible.

"Mommy—" Wu Yueyang's scream followed.

"Don't scream. If you scream again, I'll really drag you to the backyard and beat you up again!" Xiao Chong quickly closed the door while threatening. He wasn't worried about the impact or the hospitalized patients complaining about the noise. The main thing was that he was afraid Wu Yuexin would hear and say that he was bullying her brother. Bullying was fine, it wasn't the first time, but he was afraid that the little girl would be sad. She was upset, and he was upset too.

Wu Yueyang was very obedient and, upon hearing this, indeed fell silent. Seeing this, Zhang Zhijie took some liniment and started rubbing it on his face.

"Brother Wu, actually I really didn't want to hit you, because you're Yuexin's brother, but you keep doing this and I couldn't help but take action. Let bygones be bygones! Let's not mention it again! Let's take advantage of this rare free time and have a meeting. Xiao Jie, go and inform everyone!" Xiao Chong's generosity did not win Wu Yueyang's favor; instead, it made him think that this person had ulterior motives and was plotting against his sister.

Chapter Thirty-Nine of Xiao Cheng's Story: A Difficult Account

At the shift change, everyone was there, and soon they all arrived.

"Brother, what happened to your face?" Wu Yuexin asked.

"I tripped over... a stone, it's nothing!" Wu Yueyang was about to say that he had been hit, but when he inadvertently saw Xiao Chong's murderous gaze, he immediately changed his words. If he didn't change his words, he might get beaten up again.

"Everyone's here, let's have a meeting! I know everyone's been working hard these past few days, I hope you can all hang in there, this transition period is going to be tough." Xiao Chong, seeing everyone had quieted down, continued, "Yi Yu, tell everyone about the finances these past few days!" Although Ye Yi Yu graduated with a degree in pharmacy, she was truly adept at bookkeeping. She knew Longxin's accounts like the back of her hand, able to accurately report the data without needing ledgers. "Since the rain stopped, on the first day, we treated thirty-three patients, twenty-nine of whom had external injuries—twenty-three with minor injuries, five with serious injuries, and the other five with colds, fevers, or chronic rheumatism. Because our boss waived all surgery and follow-up medical expenses, we've directly lost 654,321.50 yuan just from these external injury patients. The losses are still increasing because two patients are still hospitalized!"

"So what's next?" everyone couldn't help but ask. If they kept losing money like this, would Longxin have to close down? Would they lose their jobs?

"On the second day, we saw fifty-three patients with various illnesses, earning over seven thousand six hundred. On the third day, we saw exactly sixty patients, earning ten thousand and nine. On the fourth day, we saw sixty-three patients, earning eleven thousand one hundred and

eleven ... "To cover this loss, at this break-even rate, it will take at least two months, but that's not certain, because our boss sometimes goes crazy and might suddenly say 'everything is free' again, so we might have to work for another year or two! So don't get too excited, do it quickly! Be prepared. That's roughly the current financial situation. If anyone has any complaints or constructive suggestions, you can find me at the pharmacy after the meeting." Ye Yiyu ignored Xiao Chong's pleading look and said sarcastically. "Ahem, does anyone else have a question?" Xiao Chong knew Ye Yiyu was just teasing him and didn't really mean to blame him. Everyone knew that the freebies were just advertising, so he didn't bother to explain. Explaining was just a cover-up, and covering up was pointless. "Me!" Zhang Fenfang raised her hand. "Fangfang—sister, you say it!" Xiao Chong was about to call her "sister" when he suddenly remembered she didn't like it, and hurriedly changed his mind. But he still got a glare. "Too many patients need hospitalization, not enough wards; too many patients need medical attention, not enough staff; nurses have too much to do, Nami is working too hard..." "Yes, these are all real problems. Regarding the shortage of beds, we already have a solution, and if there are no unforeseen circumstances, it can be implemented tomorrow!" Xiao Chong said. "What solution?" everyone asked. "Renjitang, Fatty Pig's Trotters, and Longxin Clinic, merge them into one!" As soon as Xiao Chong said this, everyone immediately erupted in discussion, each offering their own opinion. The loudest voice naturally came from Wu Yueyang. "You say you'll merge them, but did you even ask for my opinion? When did I agree to your merger! Renjitang can be reopened tomorrow, I can go back to being a local tyrant and never have to put up with your bullying again!" Wu Yueyang shouted. "I agree!" A clear voice rang out! The voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderbolt striking Wu Yueyang's heart. He immediately deflated upon seeing that the speaker was his sister, Wu Yuexin. “Sister, this is a shop we worked so hard to take over, how can you agree to merge it! Look at this guy, he’s not cut out for business. We’ve been here for so long, and he’s never made a single penny! If we hand the shop over to him, aren’t we just throwing money into the Dongjiang River?” Xiao Chong was about to retort when Wu Yuexin gestured to him with her eyes to be quiet. "Doing business involves both gains and losses, just like war. Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Besides, Longxin hasn't been open for long and is still in a transitional period. Although it hasn't turned a profit yet, things have improved. Our Renjitang's reputation has already plummeted because of the fake medicine scandal, and secretly practicing medicine is not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, the health bureau will shut it down. In addition, given the transparency of common drug prices in pharmacies, it's basically difficult for us to achieve greater development by relying solely on the meager profits from selling medicine. Instead of treating patients with constant anxiety or slowly making ends meet by selling medicine, why not simply join Longxin as an investor? We can not only receive salaries but also dividends—a win-win-win situation! Why not?" After his sister's clear explanation, Wu Yueyang was clearly tempted, but he still couldn't help asking, "But what if Longxin goes bankrupt?" "Pah! You jinx!" Everyone spat at him in unison! "I can guarantee that Longxin will never go bankrupt. Even if there isn't a single patient, I won't let it close! And all the employees of Longxin, whether doctors, nurses, or medical technicians, will be paid on time. To be honest, with my current strength, even if Longxin Clinic doesn't earn a single penny, I can still pay you all your salaries for life," Xiao Chong said boastfully. He did indeed have some money. If Wang Yougu's five million US dollars ran out, he still had the huge gray income from Longxing Society. Although it was dirty money, it was definitely enough to pay salaries. If Longxing Society failed, he still had the income from Chongshi Pharmaceuticals. Although that was his third wife's money, he believed they wouldn't dare say a word if he needed it! Even if they objected and refused to give him money, he would just swallow his pride and ask his uncle and mother for money. Would they refuse? With these powerful backers, he wasn't worried about this small matter at all. Besides, with Xiao Chong's current strength, he shouldn't be so down on his luck that he couldn't earn a single penny anymore.

"Wow, boss, you're so rich! But let me warn you, there's not much money left in the account! After paying this month's salaries, basically, actually, there's nothing left!" Ye Yiyu said calmly, the subtext clear: Let's see how you pay salaries next month.

Xiao Chong was taken aback, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit two eggs. It took him a while to recover before asking, "No way, how is that possible? Didn't you say you still had over two million US dollars a while ago?"

"You can talk about 'a while ago' too. A while ago you were selling roast geese for people! Don't you think about how much money you've donated lately!" Ye Yiyu reminded him.

"Didn't I only tell you to donate half?" Xiao Chong asked.

"Yes, the first time it was half, the second time it was half of half, the third time it was half of half of half... Now, think about it, how much money is left in the account?" Ye Yiyu asked.

"..." Xiao Chong carefully calculated and realized he really didn't have much money left. Poverty made him lose heart, and he was feeling dizzy and faint. Nami, sitting next to him, quickly supported him, adding insult to injury, saying, "Boss, you want the three-in-one package. Fatty might be okay with it; he left today, and Renjitang agreed. But what about the landlord? Did he agree to let you demolish the wall and renovate? And what about the housing reform bureau's approval? Did you get it?"

Zhang Fenfang chimed in inappropriately, "Even if all that's done, what about the renovation costs? Where are we going to find the money for renovations?"

"Brother Xiao Chong, the clinic only has Sister Nami as a nurse. She's spinning like a top from the moment she starts work until she leaves. If this continues, she'll get dizzy sooner or later. We need to hire a few more nurses!" Wu Yuexin kindly reminded him.

"Boss, Lin Yin hasn't paid the school construction fee yet, and her homeroom teacher has been urging her several times."

"Boss, the lab needs a new instrument!"

"Boss..."

Faced with this cacophony of voices, Xiao Chong was initially stunned, then became somewhat dazed, and finally felt his vision go black, sliding off the chair with a "thud" to the ground.

"Brother Xiao Chong!" "Boss!" "Boss!" "..." Everyone cried out and rushed forward.

Being doctors themselves, they quickly examined him, and the final diagnosis from a consultation of all the doctors at Longxin Clinic was: he was too tired!

"Isn't it said that iron is formidable? How come he just collapsed like that? What a useless fellow!" Wu Yueyang was the first to shout, having finally gotten a chance for revenge, of course he wanted to ridicule him properly.

"Brother, how can you talk like that!" Wu Yuexin scolded.

“He’s already doing very well. Any one of you would have collapsed long ago. With such a high work frequency, working both day and night shifts, only occasionally taking a nap in the early hours of the morning, he’s busy from the start of his shift until the end. Although I’m exhausted, seeing him like this, I don’t dare to complain at all.” Nami couldn’t help but speak up for Xiao Chong.

“Don’t say so much, quickly help him back to his room so he can get some rest!” Zhang Fenfang said, going to help Xiao Chong, but Xia Xue, who had been standing silently to the side, had already struggled to lift him up and walked towards Xiao Chong’s room amidst everyone’s astonished gazes.

Xiao Chong slept very soundly, without even a dream. When he woke up, he found himself lying in his room with an IV tube in the back of his hand. A girl was sleeping soundly beside his bed. Her long, flowing hair, sexy attire, and half-exposed, fair, and smooth shoulders, along with the fragrant scent, all belonged to Xia Xue.

She slept peacefully, as adorable as a baby. Gone was her prickly, unapproachable fierceness; now she appeared gentle and tender, like a completely different person. He couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her snow-white face. The moment his fingers touched her cool, incredibly delicate skin, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly. Xiao Chong knew she was awake, but seeing she was still pretending to sleep, he mischievously placed his finger on her cherry-red lips, gently and softly caressing them back and forth.

"Ah—" Just as Xiao Chong closed his eyes, savoring the indescribable yet incredibly pleasurable sensation, his finger suddenly slipped from his grasp, followed by a sharp pain. Opening his eyes, he saw Xia Xue with slightly open, alluring eyes, biting his finger. His soft cry made her loosen her teeth slightly, but not completely.

"..." Xiao Chong felt the pain in his hand lessen, replaced by a tingling, electric sensation. He couldn't help but look at her. Their eyes met, and the initial hostility was gone, replaced by unspoken tenderness. A subtle affection had unknowingly developed between them.

"What I want, you can't give!" A voice quickly surfaced in Xiao Chong's mind, instantly snapping him back to reality. He forcefully pulled his finger away from her! "I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to. I didn't want to bother you anymore, but I couldn't control myself. I don't know what happened to me!" Xiao Chong explained, his words weak and ineffective.

"It's okay. Are you feeling better?" Xia Xue suppressed her inner turmoil and calmed herself.

"Much better. I just feel a little tired. I don't need an IV." Xiao Chong said, reaching to remove the IV line.

"Don't pull it out! It's ginseng and wheat, it's almost finished!" Xia Xue quickly stopped him, their hands touching, both jolting slightly before hastily separating. She was shy, but he dared not cross the line because of her words; even a slight transgression was a luxury.

"Such good medicine is a waste on me! My body is as strong as an ox; I don't need it at all! Why not save it for the patients?"

"It's only a hundred or so yuan, don't worry about it. You've used up too much energy these past few days; you need to replenish your strength! Otherwise, your body won't be able to handle it!"

"Sigh, I really didn't want to ask for help, but I didn't expect so many patients to suddenly appear. Xiao Jie and the Wu brothers aren't up to the task, so it seems I really have to ask for help! Xue, can you get my phone for me? I can't reach it with the IV in my hand!"

"Where is it?" "

In my pocket!"

Xia Xue reached into the blanket and groped around.

"Hmm~~~" A suppressed groan suddenly rang out.

"What's wrong?" Xia Xue touched something hard, initially thinking it was her phone, but after carefully touching it a couple of times, she was startled and screamed, "Ah!"

"..." Xiao Chong was speechless, his face flushed red.

Xia Xue's face turned even redder, all the way to her ears. She was no longer a three-year-old child, and naturally knew that she had touched something she shouldn't have.

"Let's talk about it after I finish my IV drip!" Seeing her embarrassed look, Xiao Chong couldn't bear to make things difficult for her any further.

"Use mine!" Xia Xue said, taking out her phone and tossing it to him.

"I need to make a long-distance call, one within the province and one internationally, it might take a long time, aren't you worried about the phone bill?" Xiao Chong asked.

"Nonsense... You pay me such a high salary and you don't care, but you make me care about a little phone bill? Are you looking down on me?" Xia Xue said with a cold laugh.

"Hehe, I was just kidding! Then I won't be polite!" Xiao Chong said, and started making the call.

Chapter 40 of Xiao Cheng's Story: The Matter Finally Comes to a Turn

When Old Bier received Xiao Chong's call, he was in class. His phone rarely rang, and he usually didn't carry it with him to class, but today he inexplicably carried it with him the whole time, perhaps because he was getting old and his memory wasn't what it used to be.

"Hello. My dear teacher, how have you been lately?" Xiao Chong asked in fluent English.

"Ah—Xiao Chong, you little rascal, you're still alive!" Old Bill was extremely surprised, surprised that this guy had finally called since graduation. There's a saying, "A teacher for a day is a father for life!" Old Bill didn't understand the Chinese proverb, but he understood its meaning. Wasn't this kid too heartless? He'd guided him from enrollment to graduation; even if he hadn't done anything special, he'd at least put in the effort. But this guy showed no gratitude whatsoever. He hadn't even bothered to call, let alone offer any concern. He didn't care about other students, but his most prized student treated him this way; it truly broke his heart. So, upon receiving Xiao Chong's call, he cursed as he walked out of the classroom, leaving behind a room full of students waiting for his lesson.

"Heh, the teacher isn't dead yet, how could I dare to die first!"

"Then why did you only call the teacher now? Did you think the teacher was dead?"

"How could I? The teacher is still as sharp as ever, old but vigorous, old but not dead, dead but not stiff..."

"Stop talking nonsense, the teacher is teaching a class!"

"Teaching a class? Teacher, you're lying through your teeth! What time is it? We've all gone home!"

"Are you out of your mind? Don't you know there's a time difference between China and the United States?" Old Bill's words were practically a shout.

"Oh! Sorry, I've been in China for so long I forgot about the time difference!"

"Stop rambling, what's up?"

"Teacher, could you help me find a few recent or past graduates who can speak Chinese?"

"What do you need them for?"

"I've opened a clinic and need medical technicians! Proficient in ultrasound, X-ray, CT, and MRI."

"Oh, is that so? No problem, how many do you need?"

"Two or three will be enough, but they must be capable, no idiots!"

"What about the salary?"

"Teacher, you're so realistic, talking about money right away!"

"If you only offer two hundred dollars a month, would I push my students into a fire pit?"

"Teacher, if two hundred dollars is in US dollars, that's not bad in China! But I definitely won't offer that little. I'll fax the salary details to your office in a bit."

"Okay! I knew you wouldn't call me unless it was something!"

"..."

After Xiao Chong finished the call, Xia Xue couldn't help but exclaim, "Your English is really good!"

"Hehe, child's play. I can speak English, German, French, Russian, and Japanese, except for Japanese. But speaking these gibberish doesn't sound as good as our Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, Teochew, Leizhou dialect, Minnan dialect, or Miao." Xiao Chong said lightly. The beauty's praise didn't make him happy; instead, it added a touch of sorrow to his heart. No matter how outstanding I am, I can't hold you in my arms. What use are my superhuman abilities?

"Wow, so you can speak Cantonese, Hakka, Teochew, Leizhou dialect, Minnan dialect, and Miao?" Xia Xue's eyes widened, and her mouth opened even wider, looking as surprised as if she had seen a monster.

“My mother Ruyan is from Chaozhou, my mother Xinlan is from the Leizhou Peninsula, my mother Xue is from Sichuan, my mother Xinmei is from Fujian, my mother Yanchang’s ancestral home is Miao, and my mother Baoling is Hakka. I’ve been learning their languages since I was little!” Xiao Chong couldn’t avoid learning them, because if he dared to skip class or not pay attention, Shen Xue’s whip would fall on him without mercy.

“Foreign wife, local husband?”

“You could say that, my father is from Guangdong.”

“How come you have so many mothers?”

“You’d have to ask my father! But he’s passed away now! You can’t ask him now!” A hint of sadness appeared in Xiao Chong’s eyes.

“No wonder you’re so fickle, it’s hereditary.”

“…Let’s not talk about this, I have to make a phone call!” Xiao Chong had no interest in discussing his affair with his father with others, so he picked up the phone and started making a call.

Zhang Weijie and Shen Yang had just finished a major surgery and were resting in their office when they received the call. When they learned it was Xiao Chong calling, they pressed the call button and answered together.

"Uncle, Uncle, how are you?"

"Hehe, not bad! You're on TV again!" Shenyang said.

"I thought you'd been busy chasing girls in Guangcheng for the past six months, but I didn't expect you'd actually do something worthwhile!" Zhang Weijie said with a smile.

"Uncle, Uncle, I need your help with something!" Xiao Chong got straight to the point.

"Hehe, Shenyang, look at this kid, I knew it wouldn't be good news as soon as I answered his call, and sure enough!" Zhang Weijie said to Shenyang.

"Go ahead, what is it? As long as we can help, your uncle and I won't refuse!" Shenyang said.

"I want to expand Longxin Clinic, but we don't have enough staff. Do you have any good nurses? Get me about ten!" Xiao Chong said.

"Wow, about ten? Are you that strong? Can you handle it?" Zhang Weijie teased.

"..." Xiao Chong and Xia Xue looked at each other, speechless!

"About ten? And good ones? How good do you want them?" Shenyang asked.

"I need someone with rich clinical experience, hardworking, preferably with at least three years of experience, but not too old!" Xiao Chong thought for a moment and said.

"Preferably young and beautiful, unmarried, and without a boyfriend, right?" Zhang Weijie added.

"Cough, that would be best, Uncle really knows my heart!" Xiao Chong's shameless answer shocked both Shen Yang and Zhang Weijie.

"Okay, no problem, I agree to your requirements!" Shen Yang readily agreed.

"Do you need a doctor?" Zhang Weijie joked.

"Hehe, I always said Uncle knows my heart best, of course I need them, I need as many as I want!" Xiao Chong quickly became cheeky.

"Huh? You really need them?" Zhang Weijie couldn't help but slap himself after saying that, he'd gotten himself into trouble! Nurses can be hired anytime, but a good doctor is hard to find, a rare find.

"What kind of doctor do you need?" Shen Yang asked.

"Not really, just the ones I competed with last time!" Xiao Chong said casually.

"Ah—" Zhang Weijie and Shen Yang exclaimed at the same time.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Chong asked.

"You have a sharp eye, kid! Those are our carefully trained successors. Your cousin Zhang Sanfeng and your cousin Shen Yue are in there too!" Shenyang said with concern.

"Ah, why didn't you tell me for so long? I thought I was all alone, without any brothers or sisters!" Xiao Chong complained.

"Weren't we afraid you'd commit incest?" These were, of course, what Zhang Weijie was thinking.

Shenyang said, "That competition was too rushed. They went on a business trip right after it was over. They weren't there when you came back a few times afterward, so we never had a chance to introduce you!"

"Uncle, Uncle, I don't care anymore! You have to get them to help me! I've had enough of living without brothers or sisters. Can you let us brothers and sisters reunite?" Xiao Chong's reason was perfectly justified, public-spirited yet brooking no refusal.

"Wait a minute, this is a serious matter, we need to discuss it. I'll call you back in a bit!" Zhang Weijie said, then hung up the phone and said to Shenyang, "Sigh, it's all my fault for having such a big mouth. Shenyang, what do you think we should do now?"

"What else can we do? Just let it be!" Shenyang said irritably.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Weijie asked, puzzled.

"Xiao Chong isn't an outsider; he really needs help right now. Besides, Sanfeng is calm, wise, and generous. Having him keep Xiao Chong in check and prevent him from going astray might not be a bad thing!" Shen Yang said.

"But what about Shen Yue? Aren't you afraid that kid will commit incest?" Zhang Weijie still didn't want his son to be separated from him, so he continued to threaten and exaggerate.

"What are you talking about? Shen Yue and Xiao Chong weren't related by blood. Besides, it's none of our business what young people do these days. Let them do what they want; we don't need to worry!" Shen Yang remained calm.

"Sigh, it seems we've really lost a lot this time. We lost the nurse and our son." Zhang Weijie sighed helplessly.

"Xiao Sheng is gone; shouldn't we do our best to help his son succeed? Without Xiao Sheng, would we be where we are today?" Shen Yang questioned Zhang Weijie.

"I know, of course I know. I didn't say I wouldn't give it to him! Sigh, you call him. I'm going to say goodbye to my son! Waaah, who knows when I'll see him again!" Zhang Weijie said, squeezing out two bitter tears. Although his son was his precious child, he had never spoiled him. He was never lenient with scolding or beatings when necessary. Moreover, since his son was born, he had begun to settle down and dared not act crazy or erratic anymore. Later, as his son grew up, he was afraid that he couldn't raise him to be successful, and he was also afraid that his son would become like his former self. So, he gritted his teeth and made a tough decision to send his son to his father, who hadn't retired yet, to be trained. It wasn't until recent years that his son returned to his side from the military medical school. Now, he was just giving him away like that. How could he not feel heartbroken?

"Is it really necessary to be like this? It's not like we're going to die. Look at you, so pathetic!" Shen Yang felt a pang of sadness after Zhang Weijie's words. He had never imagined that his daughter, who had grown up before his eyes, would leave him.

Upon receiving the call from his uncle, Xiao Chong was overjoyed. Not only did he suddenly have an older brother and sister, but the prospect of a successor at Hekeng People's Hospital was enough to excite him—a talent who could rival him. He immediately called Qi Feier, for one reason only: to borrow money! Although he was reluctant to say those two words, the clinic needed renovations, the large influx of support staff needed money, new equipment needed money, everything needed money, and without money, nothing could be done.

Before the call connected, his phone suddenly rang. Xia Xue, seeing this, forgot her embarrassment and quickly reached for it to give to him.

Xiao Chong saw the caller ID: Wang Yougu! He couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. It seemed he didn't need to borrow money; this guy must have brought him some!

"Hello, Mr. Wang!" Xiao Chong's voice was cloyingly sweet, giving Xia Xue goosebumps.

"Dr. Ouyang, where are you?" Wang Yougu's tone was anxious.

"I'm at Longxin, what's up?" Xiao Chong sensed the urgency in his voice and thought things were looking good. Suppressing his excitement, he calmly asked,

"I have a client whose penis was cut off. Do you have any way to reattach it?" Wang Yougu asked impatiently.

"Genital replantation?" Xiao Chong asked.

"Yes, can you do it?" Wang Yougu asked urgently.

"Sure, but the surgery fee..." Xiao Chong deliberately hesitated.

"Don't talk about money, they have plenty. The most important thing is whether you can take the job. We're at the Provincial People's Hospital now, and they say they can't!"

"The Provincial People's Hospital? They can't be that incompetent, can't they even do such a simple surgery?"

"Exactly! It's only broken into four or five pieces, and they can't even set it? What a bunch of cowards!"

"Four or five pieces?"

"Yes!"

"That's indeed very difficult. No wonder they don't want to take the job."

"Can you take the job?"

"Send it here. As long as you can afford it, I'll find a way to set it even if they can't."

"Okay, we'll be right there!"

"Have them stop the bleeding first, wrap the severed limb, and then put it on ice."

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Chong immediately told the operating room and assistants to prepare. When he finished dressing and entered the operating room, he was dumbfounded. Only Wu Yuexin and Xia Xue were busy preparing.

(Chapter 41: How Deep is My Hate for You? How Much Do You Want To Do It?)

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Chong immediately told the operating room and assistants to prepare. When he finished dressing and entered the operating room, he was dumbfounded. Only Wu Yuexin and Xia Xue were busy preparing.

"Where are Xiao Jie and your brother?" Xiao Chong asked.

"One of them went to meet his girlfriend, and the other went out to find a girlfriend!" Wu Yuexin said while arranging the surgical instruments.

"Call them and tell them to come back!" Xiao Chong said.

"I already called, but their phones are off!" Xia Xue said.

"Without an assistant, how can we perform this surgery?" Xiao Chong was exasperated. Did these two want to die? Their phones were off.

"Can't we be your assistants?" Wu Yuexin asked.

"Don't you think we're so great? Women can do what men can do!" Xia Xue retorted.

"Xia Xue, there are some things that only women can do, like giving birth. And there are some things that only men can do, like... well, you can think of them, I won't give examples here! And do you know what kind of surgery we're going to be doing?"

"Isn't it just genital replantation? It's not like we haven't seen it before!" Xia Xue said without batting an eye.

"You've seen him? When did you see him?" Xiao Chong asked.

"Actually, I've never seen him before, I only saw him after coming to Longxin!" Xia Xue said.

"Oh? It seems like we haven't had any patients like that recently, when did you see him?"

"! I didn't want to see him either, but there's this exhibitionist who always likes to sleep naked, and he loves to sleep in late and doesn't like to close the door. I accidentally saw him every time I went to wake that pervert up! Yuexin, don't you think so?" Xia Xue didn't even look at Xiao Chong.

"..." Xiao Chong was so ashamed that he wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground, because that pervert was himself.

Wu Yuexin murmured, unable to speak. She had encountered similar embarrassing situations before. Because she faced this frightening scene every morning, after Xia Xue arrived, the glorious yet arduous task of waking up the perverted exhibitionist was entrusted to her. As for the other employees, they had all become seasoned veterans, getting up even later than Xiao Chong. Expecting them to wake him up was a waste of time; Long Xin might as well close down early.

Wang Yougu arrived quickly, much faster than Xiao Chong had estimated. He had just finished preparing the operating room when they arrived.

Lying on the operating table was a young man, a pretty boy with heavy makeup. His face, pale as paper from blood loss, made him appear more effeminate than masculine.

"Wow, this man is so handsome!" the two women couldn't help but exclaim when they saw him.

"Handsome? More like a cricket!" Xiao Chong's first impression of him was that he was a "pretty boy," a "sissy," a "eunuch," and a "transvestite." He never liked men like that; in fact, he didn't like any man better looking than himself. Hearing the two women's infatuated praise, his initial dislike instantly turned into disgust.

"Boss Wang, where's the severed limb?" Xiao Chong looked at the hastily treated wound still bleeding slightly and asked Wang Yougu, who stood awkwardly to the side.

"Here, here!" Wang Yougu quickly handed over the chilled, mutilated genitals. The four tightly wrapped sections of the genitals were in a transparent plastic bag, looking like slices of ham.

"Wow, cut like this? To feed the dogs?" Xiao Chong exclaimed, still trying to joke, but he didn't notice the pair of disdainful eyes beside him.

"This..." Wang Yougu couldn't answer. Xiao Chong was startled. Had he really guessed right? Was this cut to feed the dogs?

"Hey, stop chattering, okay? I'm still on duty. Hurry up and transfer him to the lathe. We need to take him back!" The person who had been looking down on Xiao Chong finally spoke impatiently.

Xiao Chong looked up and saw a young doctor about his age, wearing a white coat and a name tag that read "Zhao Fei, Attending Physician of the Provincial People's Hospital." He had a rugged face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and full lips. He looked like a tough guy who wouldn't tolerate any injustice. Zhao Fei? Xiao Chong's eyes lit up when he saw those two words. In Guangcheng, there were four famous doctors: Zhao, Li, Sun, and Qian. Zhao was Zhao Fei from the Provincial People's Hospital, Li was Li Yidao from the Provincial Affiliated Hospital, and Sun was Sun Huasheng from the Provincial First Hospital. Qian was Qian Shengqiang from the Provincial Military Hospital.

"Okay, transfer him to the gurney!" Xiao Chong liked him, not because of his young age and great fame, but because of his upright and righteous aura. Of course, there was another reason he was too embarrassed to tell others: he wasn't as good-looking as Xiao Chong. So, he quickly helped the others transfer the injured man to Long Xin's gurney.

As soon as the gurney was transferred, Zhao Fei and the accompanying nurse pulled it towards the ambulance outside. Seeing this, Xiao Chong quickly stopped them, saying, "Dr. Zhao, can we talk for a bit?"

He spoke politely, hoping not to offend anyone. But Zhao Fei immediately shouted and cursed, "You look so respectable on TV, like a real man! Who knew you were such a scumbag? What's the point of talking to a lackey, traitor, and sellout like you! I don't have time!" With that, he turned and walked away without looking back.

Zhao Fei was a true man, intolerant of any injustice, and Xiao Chong, an even more impulsive person, couldn't tolerate even a speck of dust in his eyes. Being inexplicably berated, he was furious beyond words, raising his fist to strike.

But a bespectacled man who had come with Wang Yougu immediately blocked Zhao Fei's path and spoke up: "!-#￥-#￥#￥￥-￥#！￥#-#￥！#￥！-#…"

"Japanese?" Although Xiao Chong couldn't speak their language, he understood the implication: "Your hospital is a third-rate hospital, and you, the head surgeon, one of the four great surgeons of Guangcheng, are a scoundrel. If my young master's treatment is delayed because of the time spent here, I will sue you."

"Whatever!" Zhao Fei replied in Japanese, then pulled his lathe out.

Instantly, Xiao Chong understood everything. This bespectacled man was Japanese, so the injured man must also be Japanese. Zhao Fei's personality is obvious; logically, he must be a radical youth. Therefore, it's understandable that he would berate Zhao Fei and accuse him of treason when he saw Zhao Fei treating this Japanese man and about to perform surgery on him. Having thought things through, the anger from being scolded vanished completely. He rushed forward, stopping Zhao Fei who was about to get on the car, saying, "Brother, don't worry, I'll deal with him properly!"

Zhao Fei was taken aback, then realized what was happening and said, "This Japanese devil is no good. A Chinese girl was brought with him. She had a pair of scissors stuck in her heart, and severe lacerations in her perineum. She was already dead when she arrived. I called the police, but they didn't send anyone. I don't know what kind of extraordinary power they have to cover things up! This surgery is difficult, but I can do it. I said I couldn't because I still have some conscience. So I hope you won't be blinded by greed. This beast doesn't deserve our help!"

Hearing the inside story, Xiao Chong was filled with rage. "You Japanese dogs! I haven't settled the scores with you from our ancestors, and now you dare to come to our territory and act like tyrants and villains! See how I deal with you!" "I understand! Don't worry!"

Xia Xue, who was following behind Xiao Chong, overheard his conversation with Xie Fei. After the ambulance drove away, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you still going to operate on that Japanese man?"

"Yes, definitely. And only I can perform this surgery!" Xiao Chong said firmly.

"Why?" Xia Xue looked at Xiao Chong, puzzled, but her eyes also revealed the same disdain as Zhao Fei's.

"That Comrade Zhao Fei is indeed an upright man, but unfortunately, he's a bit too upright, even pedantic!" Xiao Chong replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.

"Why do you say that about him? I think he's quite good! On the contrary, your conscience has been drowned by money! What do you know besides money?" Xia Xue scolded him rudely, all her previous goodwill towards him completely overturned.

"Hehe, besides money, I also know how to sleep with women..."

Xiao Chong hadn't finished speaking when Xia Xue interrupted him: "You're shameless!"

"Don't interrupt, let me finish before you make a decision. Besides knowing these things, I also know how to punish villains. Why did I say that about Zhao Fei? Because he doesn't use his brain. He thinks that if he doesn't operate on that Japanese devil, and I don't operate on that Japanese devil, no one will operate on him? He's incredibly stupid. This surgery is very difficult, but if someone has money, even the most difficult surgery will be performed. In this vast world, there are many geniuses besides me!"

"But you're the only pervert!"

"Hehe, it's good that you know. That's why I'm going to perform this surgery on him, and more importantly, I'm going to make a fortune off him, a huge fortune, but I can't let him live a good life."

"How can I not let him live a good life?"

Xiao Chong smiled mysteriously and said, "Hehe. As the Buddha said: It cannot be spoken. It cannot be spoken!"

"You're so vicious!" When Xia Xue looked at him again, the contempt in her eyes had disappeared, and the goodwill that had been overturned quickly returned, even doubling in strength.

"No, no, we're just giving him a taste of his own medicine. Now, let's go in and examine him again, ask him what happened, and see how deep his sins are before deciding how severe his punishment should be! ... You ask, how deep is my love for you, how much I'll do to you..." Xiao Chong sang happily as he walked towards Long Xin

. Punishing evil and promoting good was his hobby, and he would never be soft-hearted or lenient with the most heinous criminals! Entering the clinic, Xiao Chong put away his carefree demeanor and solemnly went back to the lathe to examine the Japanese man whose penis had been cut off. He gently pressed a few times under the Japanese man's lower abdomen, then looked at the hastily bandaged wound, and finally examined the severed genitals. He nodded thoughtfully and led Wang Yougu and the others into his office.

"The surgery is very difficult, and I need to know what happened. You can choose not to tell me, or I can choose not to perform the surgery!" Xiao Chong said calmly.

"This..." Wang Yougu hesitated, glancing at his translator and the bespectacled Japanese man. The three discussed in hushed tones for a while before Wang Yougu recounted the events to Xiao Chong. A while ago,

Zuo

Ye San Tian

, the son of the president of the San Ye Group, took a liking to a 2,500-square-meter plot of land owned by Wang Yougu, offering 50 million to acquire it and build a fine hardware factory. Wang Yougu was naturally overjoyed. He had bought this land when Guangcheng was first developed, spending less than 5 million in total. Now, with a simple offer, he was getting ten times that amount. How could he not be ecstatic! During several negotiation meetings, Santa Zuo took a liking to Wang Yougu's female secretary. He thought that winning over the secretary of a small real estate developer would be a piece of cake. Unfortunately, the secretary had a strong aversion to Japanese men, a particular aversion to them. No matter how much he tried to please her, use soft and hard tactics, threats and inducements, she simply wouldn't comply. In

a fit of rage, Santa Zuo decided to force himself on her, but the virtuous secretary bit his lip so hard that he needed five stitches.

Zuo Ye Santa was furious and gave Wang Yougu an ultimatum: if the female secretary still didn't comply, the business deal was off. Wang Yougu was dumbfounded. Sexual relations were supposed to be consensual; forced relationships were never sweet. Didn't this Japanese devil understand that? But blinded by greed, he couldn't care less. That wasn't five thousand dollars; it was fifty million, a full half a billion! How could he let an insignificant woman ruin things? After a moment's thought, he gave the Japanese devil a terrible idea: to force the issue. Three and

a half hours earlier, Wang Yougu, under the guise of a business dinner, took the female secretary to a restaurant in Mong Kok. Then, during the banquet, while she was in the restroom, he poured the substance into her wine glass. After returning home, the female secretary drank the glass of wine and became quite dazed. When she fully regained consciousness, she found herself lying naked on a bed, a man pressing against her aching body. This man was none other than Zuo Yeyada, the Japanese devil she hated most. This beastly Japanese devil had a spiked condom on his disgusting member, covered in soft barbs. While some women with BDSM interests might find it pleasurable, for a newly deflowered virgin, it was nothing short of hellish torture. A huge dildo was also inserted into her anus.

The secretary was to marry her fiancé in a few days. With her strong personality, she valued her chastity more than life itself. Now that her body had been defiled, could her fiancé accept her? Even if he could... Could she accept herself? No, she couldn't accept her decrepit body. Her new marriage, her husband, her beautiful and happy life—all gone. Overwhelmed with regret and unbearable pain, she was consumed by rage. She shoved him away, pulled out a pair of scissors she'd hidden in her handbag, and with a "snip," cut his genitals in two. Seeing the Japanese soldier writhing on the ground, crying and screaming, she still felt unsatisfied. She picked up the severed limb and slashed it three times, cutting it into four pieces before stopping. Just as she was about to wrap it up and feed it to the dogs, Wang Yougu, the translator, and Zuo Ye Mita's secretary arrived at the sound of the commotion. The secretary, determined to die rather than live, plunged the scissors into her own heart and died within five minutes.

The matter was too serious. Fang Xinzong, the owner of Wangjie Restaurant, dared not hide it and immediately called the police. The police arrived but did nothing. Zuo Ye Santian cried and screamed, still insisting that he and his female secretary were in a relationship, and that due to a rift in their relationship, the secretary had committed suicide by cutting herself. The police demanded an autopsy, but Zuo Ye Santian and others insisted that the secretary was not dead and needed to be taken to the hospital. The police had no choice but to follow the ambulance to the Provincial People's Hospital, but halfway there, they received orders to turn back. It turned out that Wang Yougu, using his vast network of connections and three... The Ye Group's immense financial resources allowed them to establish connections at all levels, bribing the top leader in charge of the case.

Wang Yougu, of course, wouldn't tell Xiao Chong the whole story without reservation; he only selectively revealed what needed to be said. However, the entire affair was shady, so he stammered for nearly half an hour, still unable to explain clearly. But Xiao Chong, with his intelligence, understood immediately when Wang Yougu mentioned only drunken promiscuity. He realized that the Japanese soldier lying on the operating table waiting for his surgery was a complete scoundrel.

"Alright, that's enough. Eight million for the surgery! I'll do it!" Xiao Chong interrupted him impatiently.

"Eight million?" Wang Yougu and the others gaped in astonishment, their mouths agape. Other hospitals would charge at most 100,000 to 200,000 for this kind of genital replantation, and even with post-operative treatment, rehabilitation, and care, it wouldn't cost more than 300,000. Even if it was broken into four pieces, multiplying that figure by four wouldn't amount to more than a million. But this doctor casually mentioned eight million, as if it were eighty dollars. He was simply throwing money away.

"Yes! Eight million... US dollars, I only charge US dollars for this kind of surgery!" Xiao Chong reminded them, his tone indifferent, leaving no room for refusal. Xia Xue and Wu Yuexin were terrified. Their boss was really daring, charging eight million US dollars for a surgery like this. Would anyone else in the world dare to make such an outrageous demand? Would anyone agree to such an unreasonable request? The two women guessed that the deal was off, and disappointment showed on their faces. But Xiao Chong smiled when he saw their expressions, a strange smile. When

Wang Yougu and the others heard the word "US dollars," their faces immediately became even more unpleasant, a hundred times more unsightly than Bao Zheng's dark face.

"If you agree, sign and raise the money immediately. The surgery will begin once the money is available. We won't accept checks today; we'll only accept HSBC bank drafts! If you disagree, transfer to another hospital! Just a heads-up, if a severed limb has been removed from the body for more than six hours, successful fertilization is only possible with the resurrection of Hua Tuo. The longer the time, the greater the chance of him becoming a eunuch. Based on the time you've given us, the limb has been removed for at least three or four hours. If you want to transfer, please do so quickly. My personal suggestion is to consult with the four most famous surgeons in Guangcheng. Going elsewhere to find other doctors will be a waste of time." Xiao Chong He then produced a surgical consent form, a strange smile flashing across his face.

Wang Yougu stared at the consent form, feeling as if he were seeing a contract of servitude. He didn't necessarily have to pay, but the matter was inextricably linked to him. He was the one who came up with the idea, and the secretary belonged to his company. If anything happened to the young master of the Zuoye Group, he would lose both the secretary and his money. But this was a huge sum, almost the price of his land, and he dared not make a decision lightly. So he said to Xiao Chong, "Dr. Ouyang, can you let us discuss this?"

"Sure, I'll give you three minutes! Xue, Yuexin, let's go out first!" Xiao Chong said, leading the two women away, leaving Wang Yougu and the others staring at each other in disbelief.

Outside the office, Xia Xue couldn't help but whisper a reproach to Xiao Chong: "How could you be so ruthless? Do you think they'd agree to such a high price?"

"Hehe, eight million is too little, I want them to offer sixteen million!" Xiao Chong smiled slyly.

"Sigh, the duck that's already in your mouth is about to fly away, and you still have the mind to grin and joke. I really admire you!" Xia Xue rolled her eyes at him and scolded him.

Although Wu Yuexin didn't express her opinion, she also felt that Xiao Chong's demands were really too outrageous. If it weren't for US dollars, and with a 50% discount, three or four million would be enough to cover the expenses of renovations, hiring staff, and paying salaries. But now he actually said he wanted sixteen million, which surprised her. Was her Xiao Chong brother still dreaming or had a fever? She couldn't help but reach out and touch his forehead.

"Yuexin, what are you doing?" Xiao Chong trembled when she touched him with her cool little hand. It was really inappropriate for this little girl to touch him in public. She should at least do it when no one was around!

"She's checking if you have a high fever and are talking nonsense. Sixteen million? What's wrong with you?!" Xia Xue said sarcastically.

"Xia Xue, how about we make another bet?" Xiao Chong's mind raced, and his mischievous idea surfaced again.

"What kind of bet?" Xia Xue was a little alarmed at the mention of a bet. Last time, she almost lost her virginity because of a bet. Later, she got a discount and, while she didn't lose her virginity, she still ended up selling herself to Long Xin. Another bet?

"I bet they'll willingly hand over 16 million to me, at least 8 million. If they don't, I can do whatever you want. If they do, you can do whatever you want with me. Is that fair?" Xiao Chong asked.

"This..." Xia Xue hesitated. Of course, she knew what Xiao Chong wanted. No matter what he said, whether it was a bet, sweet talk, or a forceful advance, the ultimate goal was to get her into bed. She wasn't usually an indecisive girl. She had a crush on Xiao Chong, even a little bit of his mischievous charm, but it was far from love. Accepting him wasn't impossible, unless he was already single, but accepting him surrounded by women would require a strong reason. As for the bet, she was hesitant to bet eight million; she wasn't sure if those people would impulsively sign the surgery consent form. But if Xiao Chong said it was sixteen million if he died, she would agree without hesitation, because she still fantasized about parading naked Xiao Chong through the streets!

While Xia Xue was hesitating, Wang Yougu and the others left the office.

"How's your decision?" Xiao Chong asked casually. He wasn't afraid of anything except that if they signed the surgical consent form, but Xiao Ni hadn't agreed yet, then their relationship would be meaningless.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Ouyang, we just contacted three renowned doctors, Qian, Sun, and Li. They agreed to perform the surgery on Young Master Yamada together, and they only want three million RMB for the surgery. So we have to rush to the provincial hospital immediately! Their ambulance has arrived!" Wang Yougu really wanted to tell Xiao Chong: Go eat shit! But he didn't dare, because he had a secret he needed Xiao Chong to help him with, so he had to be polite to Xiao Chong.

"Oh! Okay, you guys go ahead! No need to take the lathe. Just take the lathe too!" Xiao Chong said, quickly making way for them, as if afraid they wouldn't walk fast enough. But after Wang Yougu and the others had only taken two steps, he added, "Don't come back. If you come back, it'll waste time. If you do, I won't give you anything unless you pay 16 million..."

Wang Yougu and the others didn't bother arguing with him anymore. Zuo Yeshan's secretary, after hearing the translator's interpretation of Xiao Chong's words, gave Xiao Chong the middle finger and glared at him fiercely before dragging the lathe away without looking back.

"Boss, boss, did you see that? That guy just gave you the middle finger! Aren't you supposed to be a good fighter? Why didn't you beat him up?" Xia Xue said gleefully.

"Hehe, I have a way to make him suffer even more than beating him up," Xiao Chong said with a smile.

"Tch, he's already gone. You're still going to make him suffer? You're just lying through your teeth," Xia Xue rolled her eyes.

"Let it fly! Even if a crow flies to the top of a branch, it might turn into a phoenix, but that Japanese devil, even if he becomes a phoenix, he'll still be a eunuch! Haha!" Xiao Chong said with a laugh, then suddenly asked Xia Xue, "Still want to bet?"

"Is it the bet of sixteen million?" Xia Xue asked.

"Yes, what else is there to bet? Sixteen million, no less, they'll definitely hand it over obediently!" Xiao Chong said confidently.

"Alright, I'll bet with you. If I lose even with a 99.9% chance of winning, then I won't blame anything, I'll just blame my bad luck! I'll do whatever you want! SM, bondage, candle wax, perversion... whatever you want!"

"Wow, you know quite a lot! You've tried them all?" Xiao Chong looked at Xia Xue in surprise.

"Tch, haven't you seen a pig walk even if you haven't eaten pork?" Xia Xue said dismissively, then added, "But if you lose, I'll still have the same condition: you'll strip naked, I'll put a dog collar on you, and you'll have to crawl and let me lead you through the streets! Hehe!" Little did she know, she had already imagined herself leading a naked Xiao Chong through the streets, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wu Yuexin felt a chill run down her spine. How could this little girl be so cruel and perverted!

"Okay, no problem, a gentleman's word!" Xiao Chong raised his hand.

"A swift whip! Clap!" Xia Xue readily slapped his hand together .

Chapter 43: The Show Is About to Begin.

Wu Yuexin really couldn't bear to watch. No matter who won or lost this bet, she

didn't want to see Xiao Chong lose, because she didn't want her beloved, noble Xiao Chong to be naked, like a dog, led through the streets by Xia Xue, humiliating herself.

She didn't want Xiao Chong to win either, because she didn't want to see the man she loved doing that kind of thing with another woman. She didn't want it at all. How she longed to be the one to love and cherish him forever! She loved him; when she was homeless, lost, and helpless, it was he who came to her rescue like a prince on a white horse. Her love for him was the same as, or even greater than, that of Ye Yiyu and the others. She didn't care how many women he had, as long as he had her in his heart, she was content. But while he did have her in his heart, it wasn't the kind she wanted. She was distressed, sad, and disappointed, but she was helpless.

"Hey, boss, what do we do now?" Xia Xue asked.

"What else can we do? I'm waiting to count the money. You, well, you'd better take another shower and get clean!" Xiao Chong sat down casually, teasing her while drinking tea.

"You…" Xia Xue was both angry and ashamed, her face flushed red, but she couldn't speak.

"Why do we need to take a shower?" Wu Yuexin asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, little sister, don't ask. You're too young to understand!" Xiao Chong, momentarily carried away by his pride, forgot Wu Yuexin was still there and tried to brush her off with a casual remark.

"What do you mean I'm too young? I'm older than Xia Xue!" Wu Yuexin puffed out her chest defiantly, telling Xiao Chong not to underestimate her.

Looking into her affectionate eyes and her heaving breasts, Xiao Chong felt a surge of blood welling up inside him, originating from his bone marrow, traveling along the vagus nerve, through the jugular foramen, out of his skull, around the left subclavian artery, across the aorta, through his left lung, and finally reaching the corner in front of the sixth thoracic vertebra—the corner called the heart—rushing incessantly, causing his heart to pound and pound, a strange palpitation rising within him. He quickly drank a large gulp of tea, forcing himself to calm down.

"I'm going to take a shower? You'd better hurry up and find a tattoo artist, take off your clothes, and have them tattoo a pair of underwear for you, or you'll make a huge fool of yourself!" Xia Xue said with a smug smile.

"Hehe, don't speak too soon, we'll know the result soon enough!" Xiao Chong said in a good mood.

"Wait for what?" Wu Yuexin asked.

"Wait for them to come back!" Xiao Chong said.

"Will they even come back? Don't daydream. Those four divine surgeons, Zhao, Sun, Qian, and Li, are renowned not only in Guangcheng, but throughout the province and the country. Do you think only you can perform this transplant surgery? That Dr. Zhao Fei who just left could do it. Not to mention the other three divine surgeons performing this surgery together. I think you should just obediently let me lead you around in the streets, don't waste your energy!" Xia Xue said sarcastically.

Xiao Chong didn't care, looked at his watch and said, "An hour. If they don't come back within an hour, I'll admit defeat!"

"Fine, you really won't give up until you see the coffin. I'm not going to wait here with you anymore, I'm going to go buy a dog collar! Haha, this is so much fun!" Xia Xue laughed and walked out.

Wu Yuexin had long heard of the Four Great Swordsmen of Guangcheng; they truly possessed remarkable skills and were not merely renowned figures. Therefore, she said with some concern, "Brother Xiao Chong, you might lose this time. Those doctors are really excellent. I interned at the Provincial Affiliated Hospital, and I observed Li Yidao's surgeries. He completed a heart valve replacement surgery in just three hours!"

"Three hours? Hmm, that's quite impressive!" Xiao Chong's smile remained unchanged. A heart valve replacement surgery was indeed a major operation, and completing it in three hours was truly astonishing. Leaving aside the time commitment, the sheer difficulty of such a surgery required extensive surgical experience, a solid theoretical foundation, and exceptional skill. Even with four or five surgeons working together, it would take at least five or six hours, or even longer, to complete. Xiao Chong had only successfully completed one such surgery at He Keng Clinic under his father's guidance, a surgery that took three and a half hours!

“Brother Xiao Chong, think about it. He alone has this kind of skill, let alone two other doctors whose skills are comparable to his performing this genital replantation surgery together. They will definitely have a sure thing!”

“That’s not necessarily true. Hehe, Yuexin, don’t worry, I never fight a battle I’m not sure I can win!” Xiao Chong looked calm and not worried at all.

“Brother Xiao Chong, you, you’re too arrogant! This surgery is difficult for others, but with three renowned doctors working together, there will definitely be no accidents! It doesn’t matter if we lose this money, but this bet you made with Xia Xue will make you lose face!” Wu Yuexin said worriedly and painfully. She really didn’t want to see Xiao Chong’s reputation ruined.

“Yuexin, let me ask you, in all the time you’ve known me, have you ever seen me say a single boastful thing?”

“I don’t think so.”

"That's good, don't worry, they'll definitely come back!"

"Brother Xiao Chong—" Wu Yuexin couldn't help but shed tears as she thought about Xiao Chong being humiliated, naked, and enduring the strange looks from others on the street.

Seeing her tears, Xiao Chong felt a pang of heartache and hugged her, saying, "Yuexin, don't cry, don't cry, okay? It's my fault, listen to me, I can definitely win! Really. I'm 100% confident. Those famous doctors are skilled, but this surgery has nothing to do with skill." "

But I'm really worried!" Wu Yuexin nestled in his arms, feeling his breath, so warm and safe, but her anxious heart didn't find peace. Seeing this, Xiao Chong couldn't help but lower his head and whisper a few words in her ear.

"Really?" A hint of surprise appeared on Wu Yuexin's worried face.

"Yes!" Xiao Chong nodded firmly, looking at her tearful yet joyful face, and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her cheek.

Wu Yuexin felt a sudden dizziness. The kiss, though light, felt like a 220-volt electric current, sending a jolt through her body. Just as she tried to pull closer, she felt emptiness beside her; he had already sat upright back in his original position.

Her face flushed, while Xiao Chong looked ashamed. Neither spoke, and the atmosphere became awkward. Xiao Chong, trying to hide his panic, reached for a teacup while silently chanting, "Amitabha, forgive me, forgive me!"

At that moment, Xia Xue returned, carrying five or six small dog collars of various sizes.

"Hey? Why did you buy so many dog collars? Are you going to be a full-time dog owner?" Xiao Chong asked with a smile. The little girl's return was perfectly timed; any later and he couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be an incestuous situation. Subconsciously, Xiao Chong always considered Wu Yuexin his younger sister.

"I don't know your size, so I just bought one of everything. Hehe!" Xia Xue laughed and said, "Why don't you try them on and see which one fits?"

She meant no harm, but the listener almost fainted; it sounded like she was telling him to try on clothes.

"Ahem, it's not time yet, the bet isn't over, you can try them on after you win!" Xiao Chong wiped the sweat from his brow, forcing himself to remain calm.

"Tch, you're definitely going to lose anyway, you'll have to wear them sooner or later!" Xia Xue said, pulling out a dog collar and trying to put it on Xiao Chong's head. Xiao Chong was terrified and backed away, yelling, "No way!" But she kept chasing after him. Just as things were getting heated, the siren of an ambulance approached, finally screeching to a halt at the entrance of Longxin Clinic. The back door opened, and Wang Yougu and the others hurriedly pulled Zuo Ye Santian off the stretcher.

"Stop messing around! You lost!" Seeing this, Xiao Chong snatched the dog collar from Xia Xue's hand and threw it into the trash can, heading off to greet his lucky charm, leaving Xia Xue standing there, pale-faced and dumbfounded.

"Huh? Why are you back again?" Xiao Chong asked Wang Yougu and the others knowingly.

"The three renowned doctors said it's already necrotic and there's no way to fix it!" Wang Yougu said with a mournful face.

"Really? Let me see!" Xiao Chong said, lifting the sheet and looking at the wound. Sure enough, the remaining ugly, drooping thing on Zuo Ye San Tian had turned a purplish-brown color, clearly necrotic. Xiao Chong glanced at it and said, "Yes, it's definitely necrotic!"

"What should we do?" Wang Yougu was on the verge of tears, but Zuo Ye San Tian, hiding on the bed, started crying, babbling in Japanese, "Doctor, please, save me! I'll pay you whatever it takes!"

Xiao Chong disdained learning Japanese, but that didn't mean he couldn't understand. He pretended not to understand and asked Wang Yougu's translator, "What's he yelling about?"

"He wants you to save him, he'll pay whatever it takes!" the translator said.

"Oh, you complained about the price when I asked you to do it, and now that no one else can help, you say you'll pay whatever it takes! What do you take me for?" Xiao Chong said irritably!

The translator immediately relayed the message to Zuo Ye San Tian!

Zuo Ye San Tian couldn't utter a single meaningful word besides crying and yelling. This good-for-nothing can't even beg for a favor. Xiao Chong really couldn't be bothered with him anymore. He turned around and headed towards his office, and Wang Yougu and the others quickly followed.

"Dr. Ouyang, please finish the surgery quickly! We won't shortchange you a single penny on the surgery fee. Mr. Zuo Ye, hurry!" At Wang Yougu's signal, the bespectacled man quickly handed over a HSBC bank draft.

Xiao Chong glanced at it sideways—eight million US dollars! His brows furrowed. It seemed they had completely ignored what he had just said. "This isn't about money; it's about my dignity as a doctor being trampled on. You look down on me, think I charge too much, and that I'm not capable of performing this surgery. And you, you even gave me the middle finger, which severely damaged my self-esteem!" Xiao Chong pointed at the bespectacled Japanese man.

"We apologize, we apologize, okay? Mr. Zuo Ye, please apologize quickly!" Wang Yougu urged.

"..." Although Secretary Zuo's current role was that of a secretary, he was also a member of the Zuo family, named Zuo Jiro. He had originally served as the chief decision-making consultant at head office, but the chairman had sent him down to assist Zuo Mita in developing business in China. While nominally a secretary, he was essentially a strategist, and Zuo Mita treated him with utmost respect. Now, to apologize to someone he had always considered the "sick man of East Asia" was something he, with his pride, couldn't bring himself to do.

"Secretary Zuo, hurry up!" Wang Yougu's words, translated, reached Secretary Zuo's mind.

"Baka!" Zuo Jiro glared angrily at Wang Yougu.

Although Wang Yougu didn't understand Japanese, he knew from watching TV that "baka" meant idiot. He was about to explode, but thinking of the land that could earn him over 40 million, he backed down, just like his impotence before. He lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Zuo Ye, for the sake of your young master's health, you should apologize. Dr. Ouyang is truly a miracle doctor. He cured my stubborn illness back then, and now, I'm afraid only he can cure your young master's injury. Please consider the bigger picture."

Zuo Ye Jiro understood what he meant and thought it made sense. He still hadn't dared to report it to the chairman. If Zuo Ye Yamada's penis really couldn't be reattached, he would definitely be suspected of dereliction of duty. If the chairman really blamed him, he would likely be in deep trouble. Moreover, so many famous doctors hadn't been able to help, and only this doctor who had asked for an exorbitant price dared to perform the surgery. Judging from his arrogant appearance, he seemed extremely confident. Now that things were like this, he probably had no other way to get the doctor to operate on Sano Mita except to apologize. For the sake of the bigger picture, he finally swallowed his pride and said sorry to Xiao Chong.

The translator immediately translated the words to Xiao Chong.

"I don't understand Japanese, so you made him speak Chinese. And look at him, where is the sincerity in his apology? Is this what an apology is? If he doesn't know, he should go learn. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. I'll operate on his young master when he's learned!" Xiao Chong crossed his legs, looked at the ceiling, and spoke coldly, thinking he was incredibly arrogant! Standing behind him, Wu Yuexin kindly whispered in his ear, "You look so ugly like that!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chong quickly sat up straight and looked directly at Sano Jiro.

Zuo Jiro really wanted to stab Xiao Chong a few holes in him with his samurai sword, but he didn't dare now; the young master's life was still in this man's hands. So, after understanding Xiao Chong's meaning, he could only suppress his anger and humiliation and awkwardly apologize to Xiao Chong in Chinese, bowing deeply at a perfect ninety-degree angle, his body and legs perpendicular!

His "sincere" apology didn't quite satisfy Xiao Chong. Xiao Chong's ideal apology was for him to slap himself while loudly shouting in Chinese: "I'm an idiot!" But Xiao Chong understood the principle of leaving a way out for others so they could meet again in the future, and considering the Japanese devil's character, it was already difficult for him to act like such a subservient person, so he reluctantly and vaguely accepted it.

"Sixteen million US dollars, sign, pay, surgery immediately!" Xiao Chong slapped out the surgical consent form crisply. He had added a special clause: "Due to the necrosis of tissue, postoperative care only guarantees restoration of anatomical function, not sexual function."

Wang Yougu and the others were dumbfounded. It turned out he thought the money was too little. They remembered what Xiao Chong had said when they left and regretted it deeply. Not only had they made a wasted trip, but they'd also been ripped off. But the meat was on the lathe, the knife was in his hands; they had no choice but to accept it.

The money was paid, and Xiao Chong carefully verified it—no problem. The signature was on the bespectacled man's hand, so it should be fine too.

The real show was about to begin.

Chapter 44 of Xiao Cheng's novel: Sixteen Million Dollars for a Short-Lived Impotent Man.

Xiao Chong called to Wu Yuexin and Xia Xue, who still couldn't accept reality, and together they pushed Zuo Yeshanda into the operating room.

As Zuo Yeya was laid on the operating table, he continued to scream and groan, irritating the three of them.

"You're so annoying!" Xiao Chong flicked his wrist, and three silver needles landed on his body. The screaming stopped abruptly, and the little Japanese man lost consciousness.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief: the world was finally quiet and peaceful!

"Brother Xiao Chong, can he still be saved?" Wu Yuexin asked, pointing to the necrotic limb.

"A few more minutes and it might have really died, but it's not too late!" Xiao Chong said, raising his hand to gently pat his lower abdomen. After two gentle pats, a silver needle slowly rose from the base of his penis. The purplish-brown limb slowly regained some color.

"What... what is this?" Xia Xue asked in surprise.

"Xia Xue, to make sure you accept your defeat wholeheartedly, let me explain the origin and whole story of this silver needle! First, let's recall, after Zhao Fei left, I came back and checked him again, right? This silver needle was inserted during my check! Actually, it wasn't easy for me either, having to insert the needle in under everyone's watchful eyes! It felt like being a thief! My mom would definitely scold me to death if she knew." Xiao Chong deliberately paused, wiping his sweat-free forehead to show his hard work, before continuing, "So why did I..." Why insert this silver needle? Mainly to prevent this business deal from falling through, and incidentally, to win this bet with you. So what's the purpose of this silver needle? Actually, it doesn't serve any particular purpose; it merely temporarily slows the blood supply to the stump. The method of insertion is quite precise. Inserting it too deep completely blocks the blood supply, inserting it too shallow has no effect, and inserting it just right, combined with my powerful internal energy, achieves hemostasis and makes it appear as if the limb is necrotic. This is why those famous doctors are helpless!"

"You…" Xia Xue, having learned the whole story, was so angry that she pointed at Xiao Chong, speechless.

"Hehe, Xia Xue, do you think I cheated, or even deliberately set a trap to frame you? Yes, I don't deny it. I did do it on purpose. I just gave you a lesson you can't learn in school. This vivid lesson is to tell you that Brother Xiao Chong is not someone you can underestimate or dismiss as incompetent." After saying that, Xiao Chong even patted her shoulder considerately to comfort her, saying, "Don't be discouraged. This time is different from last time. You've improved a lot!" He said that, but everyone could hear his subtext: You're still too green to mess with me!

"..." Xia Xue stood there, stunned, speechless for a long time. This man was too cunning, too shrewd, and his mind worked too fast. She was definitely no match for him. The idea of leading him naked through the streets was a pipe dream. "

Alright, let's start the surgery!" Xiao Chong said, starting to wash his hands. Wu Yuexin disinfected the skin and prepared the drapes. Xia Xue remained in a daze.

With everything prepared, Xiao Chong approached Zuo Yeshantian, opened the small surgical box Zhang Weijie had given him, and took out smaller surgical instruments. He began repairing the penis piece by piece. Reconnecting one section of the penis wasn't difficult for Xiao Chong, but reconnecting four sections required an amount of energy and physical strength that most people couldn't withstand. Although the surgery was difficult, with skill and patience, it wasn't impossible to reconnect the sections. However, whether the blood supply would be normal and whether the function would be restored depended on the surgeon's skill.

Zuo Yeshantian's penis was finally reconnected and looked presentable. Xiao Chong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It was really not easy. It's hard to perform a surgery that relies on skill, but it's even harder to perform a surgery that requires 'water release'!"

"Water release? What do you mean?" Wu Yuexin and Xia Xue didn't understand what Xiao Chong meant. In their eyes, the surgery Xiao Chong performed was flawless; even experts could only reach this level.

"Don't you even know what 'letting the opponent win' means? For example, in mahjong, you've got the Thirteen Orphans tile, you've even drawn the tile you need to win, but you still insist on discarding it. Do you think that's difficult?" Xiao Chong retorted to the two women.

"You mean you let the opponent win during the surgery?" the two women asked in unison.

"My God, you don't even know if I let the opponent win or not? How can you be my assistants?" Xiao Chong cried out in despair. If these two women were to perform the surgery, many more people would die.

"Your hands are as fast as playing the piano, who can see clearly?" Xia Xue glanced at him, but dared not roll her eyes at him again. Because of the bet incident just now, she felt a mixture of fear, hatred, and respect for him, and also a kind of indescribable feeling—it should be, perhaps, maybe it could be called love.

"Yeah, Little Chong, my eyes are getting blurry!" Wu Yuexin's eyes were indeed a little sore, but she didn't dare rub them. The surgery seemed to be going on, and her gloved hands were sterile; rubbing them would contaminate them. So she blinked as much as possible, making it look like she was constantly sending electric shocks to Little Chong, making him tremble, his legs gradually feel weak, and he felt lightheaded.

"Hey, what are you spacing out for? I'm asking you a question! Why did you let me through?" Xia Xue looked at Little Chong staring blankly at Wu Yuexin, feeling very jealous, and couldn't help but give him a light kick. She didn't dare to kick him hard; she didn't dare to count how many women would come after her if she hurt them.

"Oh!" Xiao Chong responded, snapping out of his daze. "That bastard is no good. You just heard Zhao Fei say that the girl who was taken to the Provincial People's Hospital with him is dead. Although Wang Yougu was vague about it, I knew exactly what happened. This bastard must have taken advantage of the girl's body, and in a fit of anger, she cut him off and then committed suicide. So, for such scum, why would I fix his penis so he can harm others in the future? Am I even human?"

"Then why did you perform the surgery on him?" Wu Yuexin asked.

"Hehe, I had three purposes for performing the surgery on him: First, to make money. Sixteen million US dollars, even robbing a bank wouldn't be this easy! Second, to avenge that poor girl. Third, to vent our countrymen's anger!" Xiao Chong said through gritted teeth.

"Then what did you do to him?" Xia Xue strongly agreed with Xiao Chong's actions; being merciful to something worse than an animal is being cruel to oneself.

"So far, I haven't done anything special, just a very watery operation. His penis is alive, but it can't possibly have any other function besides urinating!" Xiao Chong said.

"What other function?" Wu Yuexin asked so naively, she regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth. Even an idiot knows that besides urinating, this thing can also be used for ancestral intercourse and make women feel like they're in heaven! "

Hehe, Sister Yuexin is as pure as a blank sheet of paper. You'll know what this thing is good for later!" Xia Xue teased her with a smile.

Wu Yuexin only asked the question on the spur of the moment, forgetting to think it through. Now, embarrassed by Xia Xue, she blushed even more.

Xia Xue knew that Wu Yuexin was gentle and kind, not good at arguing, and didn't dare to tease her too much, so she quickly changed the subject and asked Xiao Chong: "Just that doesn't seem enough, does it? That would be unfair to the girl he killed, unfair to our compatriots who were killed by his ancestors."

"Wow, you've ruined his most important thing, and you still think it's not enough! No wonder people say the most poisonous heart is a woman's, it's truly a wise saying! Any harsher and you'll take his life!" Xiao Chong said, shaking his head. Actually, he also felt that such punishment was indeed too lenient.

"I don't care, you have to be even harsher! Otherwise, I won't keep that bet!" Xia Xue threatened and tempted him.

"This kind of person is really not a good person, I also agree with Xia Xue's approach!" Wu Yuexin said.

Seeing that even Wu Yuexin, who was always kind and wouldn't even step on an ant, said this, Xiao Chong realized that this Japanese devil really deserved to die. So he didn't hesitate any longer, reached out and flicked open the needle box that he never showed to anyone, pressed the mechanism, and the needle box automatically opened. He took out a dozen short needles of unknown material. Although there were many silver needles of various lengths in the needle box, this short needle was placed in another very small hidden compartment. There were only about ten needles in total. He gently inserted the needle into Zuo Yeshanda's chest, all the way in, and then it disappeared from the surface of his body.

"What is this?" Xia Xue and Wu Yuexin asked simultaneously.

"I don't know either. My dad made it for me. He said this kind of needle won't show up on any instrument!"

"Then what's it for?" the two women asked again.

"Its use is the same as ordinary silver needles, but when you stick it in this spot, it slows down the blood supply to the heart, but he won't feel anything!"

"Oh, I see. You're causing his heart to have a long-term lack of blood supply, leading to heart disease and eventually killing him!" Wu Yuexin said with sudden realization.

Xiao Chong nodded and said, "At the latest, five years. At the shortest, three years. If he's still alive, there's no other possibility but a miracle!"

"Wow! You're so ruthless! You're so ruthless!" the two women exclaimed.

"Oh my god, didn't you tell me to do this?" Xiao Chong rolled his eyes at them.

"Brother Xiao Chong, don't do this, it looks awful!" Wu Yuexin covered her eyes and said. Xiao Chong's rolled eyes were so wide that you couldn't see any black at all, making him look extremely terrifying.

"We told you to be ruthless, not this ruthless!" Xia Xue complained.

"Then, then I'll take it out!" Xiao Chong said, about to use his inner energy to draw out the short needle.

Xia Xue quickly stopped him, saying, "Forget it, forget it, let it be! Three to five years is already too good for him! No wonder people say 'no poison, no man,' it's truly a wise saying!"

Xiao Chong found the words strangely familiar, and after thinking for a while, he realized that this young woman was deliberately teasing him. "Fine, you tricked me! Let's see how I deal with you!"

"Hehe, you're so clever, it's really not easy for me to trick you! What do you want?" Xia Xue laughed heartily as she approached him.

Xiao Chong unceremoniously used his Dragon Claw Hand, but Wu Yuexin hurriedly shouted, "Stop messing around, the surgery isn't finished yet!"

"Right, it's not bandaged yet!" Xia Xue quickly reminded Xiao Chong, who had already extended his claws two or three centimeters to her chest, her calm and composed demeanor truly showing that she wouldn't be alarmed even if Mount Tai collapsed before her.

Xiao Chong reluctantly stopped and quickly went to bandage Zuo Yeshanda's practically useless penis.

After the surgery, Xiao Chong and the others pulled Zuo Yeshanda out of the operating room on the lathe. Wang Yougu and the others immediately surrounded him, asking how the surgery went.

"Well, this surgery was too difficult. His thing was necrotic. I used all my strength, my family's internal energy, and sacrificed several years of my cultivation to revive it. And then, with great difficulty, I managed to reconnect it. Oh my god, this surgery really exhausted me!"

Wang Yougu and the others were about to rejoice when they heard this, but what Xiao Chong said next made them feel as if they had fallen into hell.

“However, I must warn you, this has been delayed for too long. If you hadn’t gone to some famous doctor and had the surgery done here with me, he might have recovered 90% of his sexual function. But now, recovering even 1% is a miracle. Don’t look at me, I’ve done everything I can. Even a god can bring the dead back to life, but this is the best I can do.”

Wang Yougu and the others could only sigh; they couldn’t blame anyone else. Who could they blame but themselves? They were unwilling to spend money, insisting on hiring some famous doctor, only to end up with nothing but wasted effort and a mere 16 million US dollars for nothing more than impotence.

Although Wang Yougu and the others were dissatisfied, Xiao Chong was extremely satisfied. He had originally planned for only 8 million, but unexpectedly, it doubled out of nowhere, and the treatment was still the same. How could he not be satisfied!

“Alright, that’s settled then. He’s fine now. You can go wherever you want!” Xiao Chong waved his hand, shooing them away like flies.

"Not hospitalized? I saw you have an inpatient ward!" Wang Yougu and the others asked doubtfully.

"Yes, we do, but it's completely full. We can't fit anyone else in. Even a regular surgeon can handle his follow-up treatment and care. Besides, the environment here is so bad, it's not suitable for him to recover. You should find him a quiet place!" Xiao Chong was telling the truth. The inpatient ward only had a few beds, and it had never been empty since the car accident. Many people who needed hospitalization couldn't get in, let alone a detestable Japanese devil. He didn't want to admit him even more.

Wang Yougu and the others had no choice but to drag the impotent Zuo Ye Yamada away, looking rather pathetic. Xiao Chong and the other two showed no sympathy.

A long time later—

"Damn it! They took my lathe!" Xiao Chong screamed!

"Come on, it's just a lathe, a few hundred dollars. Is it worth making such a fuss?" Xia Xue scolded.

"Yeah, Brother Xiao Chong, they gave us sixteen million US dollars. We can buy as many lathes as we want," Wu Yuexin comforted him.

"Hehe, it seems so! Then let these bastards have it!" Xiao Chong grinned foolishly, his sorrow turning to joy.
