Chapter 660: Who Can't Afford to Provoke Who
"Your son has offended someone we truly cannot afford to provoke, so you should hurry up and leave the hospital," the doctor said before turning away without looking back.
Upon seeing the doctor leave, Li Shuying's aunt's body went limp, and had Li Shuying not reacted swiftly, her aunt would have fallen straight to the ground.
"Auntie... how are you feeling..." Li Shuying supported her aunt, who had rolled her eyes back and clearly passed out.
"Mom..." said the young man lying on the bed, his face filled with urgency, but because of his injuries, he couldn't get out of bed.
"Let me see," Ding Fan came over and helped the elderly woman.
Li Shuying knew Ding Fan's medical skills were extraordinary; after all, he had cured her of her terminal illness initially.
Ding Fan used his Divine Sense to examine the elderly woman's condition, discovering that her blood pressure had suddenly risen before she fainted.
At that moment, Ding Fan stretched out two fingers and placed them on the elder's temples before sending True Qi into her.
Now, the elder who had initially passed out started coughing faintly and slowly opened her eyes after the infusion of Ding Fan's True Qi.
Ding Fan then helped the elder to settle into a chair.
"Auntie...how do you feel now?" Li Shuying came over and asked.
"Xiao Ying, you're here..." Upon seeing Li Shuying, the elder's tears immediately began streaming down her face.
"Su Ying, it's the wrong timing for you to come..." the young man lying on the bed sighed.
That young man was called Liang Si En, the only child of the elder, and was Li Shuying's cousin. Li Shuying had met this Liang Si En many years ago.
"Cousin, what's happened?" Li Shuying asked Liang Si En who was beside her.
"Sis, you should really stay out of my affairs. I had hoped you could bring your child here during the holidays to relax, but it seems that's not possible now. Sis, you should go back first," Liang Si En, lying on the hospital bed, said.
Although Liang Si En didn't want to tell Li Shuying what had happened, from the moment she entered, so many things occurred that even the oblivious would realize something serious had happened to her aunt.
"Auntie, cousin, if you don't tell me, I definitely won't leave," Li Shuying declared resolutely.
"Auntie, if there's any trouble, just tell Ding Fan Dad. My Ding Fan Dad is very capable, and there's nothing he can't solve," said Song Tao, who was standing by.
Song Tao spoke without reservation, but it made Li Shuying's cheeks burn with embarrassment, as she was Song Tao's mother. With Song Tao calling Ding Fan his dad, it implied that she and Ding Fan were married...
"Song Tao... don't talk nonsense," Li Shuying softly scolded.
Song Tao stuck out his tongue, then quietly stood to the side.
"Xiao Ying, Si En is right, you should go back first. There are some things at home, and after we've dealt with them, you can come over," Li Shuying's aunt said from the side.
Li Shuying knew something significant must have happened, or else her aunt wouldn't be so eager to send her away. However, under the current circumstances, Li Shuying couldn't pry anything out of her aunt no matter how much she asked.
Ding Fan could only watch from the side; if they weren't going to talk, there was nothing he could do.
"Liang Si En, here is today's hospital bill. Take it and go pay the fee," a nurse said, walking up to Liang Si En with a stack of receipts.
Liang Si En half sat up in the hospital bed and took the receipts from the nurse. After examining them, he frowned severely.
"Nurse, I only came here this afternoon, and it hasn't even been one afternoon, yet you want me to pay thirty thousand yuan for medical expenses..."
"What?" The elder was also shocked. "Nurse, this afternoon, all we did was hang one IV bag for inflammation, nothing else. It can't possibly cost over thirty thousand yuan just for one IV bag."
"How could it be thirty thousand yuan?" the nurse rolled her eyes and continued, "Everything is listed on the bill. We can't just ask you for money for no reason."
Liang Si En, suppressing his anger, carefully reviewed the receipts again. They listed everything—CT scans, MRI, ultrasound... every examination was included.
"I didn't undergo any of these tests, why should I pay for them." Liang Si En argued.
"These charges are for the people you assaulted. You assaulted them, and naturally, you have to pay. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with me. If you have any issues, go talk to the hospital. I'm just a nurse." After saying this, the nurse rolled her eyes again, then turned to leave.
As the nurse reached the doorway, it seemed as if she remembered something, turned around, and said to Liang Si En,
"I forgot to tell you, the person you hit has already called the police. If you don't pay these medical bills now, you might end up being taken to the police station, so I advise you to pay them all."
After dropping this line, the nurse finally turned and left.
"This... this... isn't this bullying?" Li Shuying's aunt bit her lip. Although she had seen much in her life, at that moment, she could barely restrain her laughter and eventually burst into tears.
Liang Si En clenched his fists tightly, his gaze intense, seeming lost in thought.
"Mom, I've decided. Let them take me away; I want to see how else they can bully us!" Liang Si En said.
"Son, that won't do. You are still injured. If you're taken to the police station now, you might lose more than half your life. Son, I've decided, no matter what, let's pay these thirty thousand first," Li Shuying's aunt said.
"Mom, those bastards probably won't suffer any consequences—they obviously just want to bully us..."
Liang Si En had not finished speaking when Li Shuying's aunt interjected, "Son, money is not important right now; people are what matter. Do you understand?"
As the mother and son were still talking, a shifty-looking middle-aged man walked in from outside.
"Lao Dai, what are you doing here?!" Liang Si En burst out angrily upon seeing the visitor.
"Liang Si En, I didn't expect that, even now, you still have such a fiery temper. It seems you haven't been taught enough lessons yet," the middle-aged man called Lao Dai entered, a cigarette dangling arrogantly from his lips.
"Brother Luv asked me to give you a message, keep away from Xiang Mei from now on, or else he said he'll take you out directly next time!"
Lao Dai spat out a puff of smoke as he spoke.
"Tell Brother Luv that Xiang Mei and I have already gotten our marriage certificate; Xiang Mei is my wife, and we are protected by law."
Lao Dai laughed as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. "Well, I'd like to see which law in Huang Town dares to protect you!"
After saying that, Lao Dai turned to glance at Li Shuying.
In fact, Lao Dai had spotted Li Shuying the moment he walked in. He lecherously sized her up, then licked his lips and said.
"Liang Si En, I didn't realize you're quite the ladies' man, eh? The women around you are one prettier than the next." Lao Dai said nonchalantly before walking up to Li Shuying. "Sweetheart, following this loser will get you nowhere. How about coming with me? I'll make sure you command respect every day."
After he finished speaking, he reached out brazenly toward Li Shuying's chin.
"Get lost!" Just as Lao Dai's hand was about to touch Li Shuying, Ding Fan kicked out fiercely from the side.
Lao Dai went down with a thump, sprawled on the ground.
"Fuck! God damn it, you dare to touch me... You don't even ask around Huang Town who I am, Lao Dai! And you dare to touch me!"
Ding Fan frowned slightly; he hadn't expected this idiot to talk so much. Immediately, he kicked out once again.
This time Ding Fan's kick wasn't aimed at Lao Dai but kicked a chair instead, sending it crashing towards him.
Bang...
The chair struck Lao Dai's chest, breaking into pieces, and he was flipped onto the ground.
Clatter clatter...
As Lao Dai fell, his hands scrambled at a bedside table, sending utensils crashing to the ground.
"You... you... dare to touch me..."
At this moment, Lao Dai's face turned as purple as a pig's, and from the ground, he grabbed a glass bottle and advanced towards Ding Fan.
Ding Fan had only intended to teach the guy a simple lesson, but he didn't expect him to be so stubborn.
At that moment, Ding Fan's gaze hardened.
For people like this, he needed to thoroughly subdue them.
Ding Fan suddenly reached out with his right hand and grabbed Lao Dai's neck, causing him to choke immediately. At that moment, he could care less about anything else. The glass bottle also dropped from his hand.
"Let... let..." Due to the choking, Lao Dai's words were hardly clear.
Ding Fan, holding him like a chicken, simply lifted him off his feet.
"If you pull this shit again, I will kill you," Ding Fan said in an even tone, showing neither pleasure nor anger.
At this point, Lao Dai felt like he was about to suffocate; he tried to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.
In that instant, Lao Dai felt death was nearer than ever before.
"Did you hear what I said?" Ding Fan still spoke in a calm tone to Lao Dai.
Ding Fan slightly loosened his grip, and Lao Dai quickly replied, "I... I heard... heard..."
Then, Ding Fan simply tossed Lao Dai onto the ground.
"Repeat what I just said," Ding Fan stood with his hands behind his back, looking serene and spoke evenly.
"I... I won't act tough here anymore; I'll never dare again..." Lao Dai hurriedly said.
Lao Dai was also a cunning man, the type who knows exactly what to say to whom.
Lao Dai could see that Ding Fan was a man of his word; the moment he was picked up, Lao Dai clearly felt the murderous aura emanating from Ding Fan.
It was an aura that chilled Lao Dai to the core.
So, faced with someone like Ding Fan, Lao Dai dared not show off anymore, he could only do exactly as Ding Fan said.
At this moment, laying in the hospital bed, Liang Si En watched in amazement.
Lao Dai had a reputation in Huang Town, but it was rare to see him cower like this. Liang Si En even wondered if today's Lao Dai was not himself...
"Get lost..." Ding Fan said flatly.
"Yes, yes, yes… I'm going right now..." Lao Dai, with his tail between his legs, scurried away...
