Song Yang hemmed and hawed.
A slap from the man missing an ear landed on the back of his head.
Song Yang nearly took a nosedive and quickly blurted out, "It's... it's the leadership from the Second City Hospital, I have no idea what's going on here, how come I feel like I'm seeing a bunch of fake deans and directors?"
Nie Qiao was utterly flabbergasted, "When did he become so formidable? Deans and directors, those high and mighty people, are groveling for him to come back? And they want to offer him a deputy director position?"
A deputy director at the Second City Hospital held a higher position than little Director Song Yang!!
That's one of the top hospitals in the entire city.
How could a small hospital compare?
The man missing an ear suddenly charged at Shen Zhou, pointed at his nose, and said, "What are you doing standing there dumbstruck, heal my boss right now, and if you succeed, I'll give you a million!"
"If you fail, your life is at risk!"
Shen Zhou said indifferently, "When I was willing to heal, you wouldn't let me; now that I don't want to, you're asking for it. Do you think I'm that easy? Get lost!"
The man missing an ear, infuriated, shouted, "Then I'll beat you half to death first and see if you'll heal or not!"
And threw another punch.
Shen Zhou kicked him away.
The man missing an ear fell to the ground, his face twisted in pain, clutching his stomach and screaming, "Attack! Break that kid's legs!"
Five or six cronies pulled out iron rods and charged menacingly toward him.
Shen Zhou's face was full of mockery.
After all, he was the second Divine Doctor of the ancient times, who had lived for over five thousand years.
He was skilled not only in saving lives but also in taking them.
A few thugs, mere ants!
Just as he was about to make a move, a milky voice came from a distance, "Stop it! Anyone who dares to hit my daddy, I will beat them to death, oh!"
A delicate and lovely little child darted over, standing in front of Shen Zhou.
She raised her chubby little arms, her adorable large eyes brimming with murderous intent as she glared at the thugs.
What... what is this situation?!
The thugs halted abruptly, completely baffled.
Shen Zhou smiled brightly and patted her head, "Doudou, how did you get here?"
She was now acting as if nothing had happened.
Changed into new clothes, she looked lively and cute.
She happily turned and hugged Shen Zhou.
"Daddy! Daddy, it took me so long to find you, why did you suddenly run off? Doudou missed you..."
As she spoke, her eyes started to redden.
Shen Zhou's heart ached tremendously, and he lifted her in his arms, about to tease her with a few words, when a cold voice said, "Put down my daughter! Doudou, how many times have I told you not to let just anyone hold you?"
"People carry so many germs, it's very unhygienic!"
"Besides, that's a stranger!"
Doudou, disobedient, clung to Shen Zhou's neck, turned her head, and glared at her mother, "Daddy is not a stranger; Daddy is my daddy. You should not forbid daddy from holding me; what you're doing is very wrong..."
"You should do like they show on TV dramas, come over when you see me hugging daddy, and hug daddy too."
"It's only right for a family of three to hug each other!"
Even as a CEO, Xue Lixue couldn't help turning beet red.
Even Shen Zhou, after cultivating for over five thousand years, felt his face getting hot.
The man lying on the ground, missing an ear, bellowed, "What are you dawdling for? A little girl blocks your way and you stop? Give that kid a good beating! And if the little girl keeps yapping, hit her too!"
"Don't think just because she's a child she can do whatever she wants!"
Xue Lixue's red face turned to black.
Doudou was her Achilles' heel.
No one was allowed to offend her!!
And after having just recovered from a head injury, this filled her with guilt.
She flicked her jade finger.
Several formidable bodyguards surged from behind and in a matter of seconds had those thugs spread-eagled on the ground.
The man missing an ear was completely dumbfounded...
Xue Lixue approached Shen Zhou, extended both hands, and said coldly, "Please give me back my daughter."
Shen Zhou did intend to return Doudou but the little baby clung tightly to his neck. "No! I won't leave Daddy, I want Daddy to hold me. It wasn't easy to find you again, Mommy please don't be like this!"
"Right, Mommy, can we take Daddy home with us later? Is that okay?"
Xue Lixue was once again embarrassed.
Not far away, Nie Qiao, who heard and saw all of this, was like struck by lightning.
She couldn't believe that Shen Zhou, who had been in a relationship with her for over two years, suddenly had a four- or five-year-old daughter!
Her identity as a mother was also quite notable.
She was accompanied by several burly bodyguards.
Song Yang was even more internally torn.
A flood of envy, jealousy, and resentment surged in his heart.
He, of course, knew who this woman was.
The famously renowned Boss of the Jiulong Group in Changming City.
The number one goddess!
Yet her daughter was calling Shen Zhou Daddy!
What did that mean?
He originally thought Shen Zhou wasn't even worthy of Nie Qiao!
Now, there was a goddess, a thousand times more noble than Nie Qiao, who was his wife?
Shen Zhou saw the expressions on both of their faces and dealt with it indifferently.
Before the "seal" was lifted, his love for Nie Qiao was deep, and knowing she was with another man would've probably left him in utter despair.
Now, being the Divine Doctor who had lived for more than five thousand years, what hadn't he seen?
Such a woman wasn't worth his attention!
He thought of something, coaxed Doudou a few words, and stuffed her into Xue Lixue's arms.
He walked over to the bedside, glanced at the man who looked as if he had lost all hope, then suddenly turned his head to look at the man who was missing an ear.
"Your Boss can still be saved, can you give 100,000 as a fee?"
The man missing an ear hastily nodded: "If you can save my Boss, I will absolutely give you the 100,000!"
Shen Zhou said, "It's a deal."
Xue Lixue showed disdain.
She thought Shen Zhou, with his divine skills, was untainted by worldly matters, but to think he would want to save the gang boss for 100,000!
She took the opportunity to whisper, "Did you see, Doudou? That guy lying on the gurney is no good, his henchman wanted to hit you just now, and that person wants to save him, he's not fit to be your daddy!"
"But since he saved you, I will naturally give him a great reward. Can you not call him daddy anymore?"
Doudou shouted at Shen Zhou's retreating figure, "Daddy, Mommy says she'll give you a huge reward if I stop calling you daddy, do you think it's okay?"
Shen Zhou turned his head and grinned at her, "Of course not! As long as you want to call me daddy, I won't want even a reward as big as the Milky Way!"
Doudou beamed like a flower, "Mom, did you hear that? Your scheme doesn't work, haha."
Xue Lixue was livid, staring fiercely at Shen Zhou!
She said, "Is it fun to deceive a child like this? Don't think I don't know your purpose, you want to get closer to me through my daughter for greater benefits. Otherwise, why would you care about a mere 100,000?"
"Pretending so much, aren't you afraid it'll disgust people?"
Shen Zhou only responded, "Your mind is unclean."
Xue Lixue was gnashing her teeth.
No one had ever dared to insult her so boldly in front of everyone!
A few bodyguards were ready to spring into action.
In the end, Xue Lixue held back.
She waved her hand, "Shen Zhou, for saving my daughter, I won't hold this against you. I'll give you 10 million. I'll guarantee that you become a hospital director within a year, but you must ensure—"
"You won't take advantage of Doudou to harm me and you're not allowed to see my daughter again!"
"Doudou calls you daddy, and you must not agree!"
Doudou started to make a fuss, "Mommy, you can't do this, I want my daddy! He is my daddy..."
Shen Zhou's face darkened as he turned around.
He strode toward Xue Lixue!
