"That kid... that kid refuses to come." Wu Changtian's legs went weak under Li Tianwei's gaze.
"Useless!" Li Tianwei cursed, "Get lost, get out! Get out!!!"
Tan Yuying screamed on the spot, "What do you mean 'get out'? Throw him out, throw him out!"
"Ah! No!" Wu Changtian's face turned pale with fright right there and then.
Two bodyguards, built like towers, approached without a word and carried Wu Changtian away, tossing him out of the operating room like trash.
"You three, go, bring me Ye Haochuan. If he dares not come, tie him up and bring him here!" Li Tianwei ordered the three bodyguards.
"Yes, Boss!"
A few minutes later, the three bodyguards inquired their way and found Ye Haochuan's dormitory.
At that time, Ye Haochuan was sitting in meditation at his bedside, turning a deaf ear to Kou Jing and Han Xue'er's persuasive words.
"Ye Haochuan, hurry up and come with us."
When Ye Haochuan opened his eyes and looked up, he saw Li Tianwei's underlings barking orders at him, which made him furious. Dammit, so the rich think they're something special? Soft approach didn't work, so now they're playing tough?
"What if I don't go with you?" Ye Haochuan stopped meditating and stood up abruptly.
Kou Jing and Han Xue'er could tell that these bodyguards meant trouble and were immediately very anxious.
The leader of the bodyguards then bellowed, "You've got some nerve, even daring to ignore President Li's words. Do you really think you're an onion? I'll ask you one more time, are you going or not?"
"I'm not going! I'm not going!" Ye Haochuan yelled.
The bodyguard was furious, "Guys, give him a beating until he agrees to go!"
The two bodyguards behind him grunted, stepped forward, and prepared to teach Ye Haochuan a lesson.
Ye Haochuan was utterly enraged. Was there no justice left? Refuse to treat Li's son and they resort to force?
Kou Jing and Han Xue'er shouted in unison, "This is a hospital, you can't do this!"
But it was no use; the leading bodyguard glared at them, "This has nothing to do with you, step aside."
Kou Jing wanted to say more, but Ye Haochuan pulled her back and whispered, "It's fine, Doctor Kou, don't worry. I don't even consider these black-skinned dogs worth my attention."
"Who are you calling black-skinned dogs?"
As he spoke, the two bodyguards had already reached him and tried to grab his shoulders from both sides, intending to drag him out for a harsh beating.
Ye Haochuan activated his Longevity True Qi, reached back with his hand, grabbed the wrists of the two bodyguards, and twisted hard.
Crack! Crack!
The arms of the two bodyguards dislocated at the joints, and they immediately cried out in pain, falling to their knees on the ground.
The remaining bodyguard leader was shocked, not expecting the young man in front of him to have such martial skills, easily overpowering his two subordinates.
"Damn! I'll kill you!" The head bodyguard charged forward, throwing a straight punch at Ye Haochuan's face.
Ye Haochuan dodged by tilting his head, then lifted his leg in a kick, striking the bodyguard's lower abdomen. The leader of the bodyguards screamed in pain and was sent flying backwards, vomiting blood profusely, with blood foaming in his mouth like fish bubbles.
Seeing him defeat the three men effortlessly, Kou Jing watched, dumbfounded.
But Han Xue'er's eyes sparkled with admiration. Which girl wouldn't like a hero who doesn't cower before power? Especially when Ye Haochuan was so handsome!
"You call yourselves bodyguards with those skills? Get lost!" Ye Haochuan let out a breath of foul air, feeling incredibly satisfied.
The three bodyguards scrambled away, tumbling and crawling.
"Brother Ye, you're so amazing!" Han Xue'er clapped and exclaimed.
Oh boy, being called 'Brother Ye' sure feels damn good!
Ye Haochuan beamed with happiness, as he caressed her delicate cheek, "Xue'er, be good, Brother will give you a lollipop later."
Then he added mentally: made of meat, hehe!
"I hate you!" Han Xue'er was extremely annoyed and embarrassed. She was grown up and, aside from her father, no other guy had ever touched her cheek or taken advantage of her like this.
Looking at Han Xue'er's infinitely shy and tempting appearance, Ye Haochuan felt his heart heat up and blinked, asking, "By the way, Xue'er, when you eat a lollipop, do you prefer holding it with both hands or just one hand?"
With an adorably foolish pout, Han Xue'er replied, "Of course, with one hand."
Ye Haochuan laughed out loud.
Han Xue'er was confused, "What are you laughing at, Brother Ye?"
"Let's go, let's go, let's ignore this debaucher!"
Kou Jing, however, caught on and pulled Han Xue'er to flee, cursing internally: lecher, big lecher, utterly despicable!
In the dorm, only Ye Haochuan's loud laughter echoed, not ceasing for a long time.
Just as the two women left, Ye Haochuan closed the door and resumed his meditation. After merely five minutes, there was another series of urgent knocks at the door.
Damn, not again!
Ye Haochuan, out of spite, chose to ignore it, but the knocking persisted, making it impossible for him to concentrate on cultivating the Longevity Technique.
"Damn, so annoying!"
Ye Haochuan leaped off the bed, yanked the door open, ready to curse whoever it was, but stopped upon seeing that the visitor was the beautiful Chairman Xiao Haimie.
She was no longer in her efficient office lady outfit from the daytime but had changed into a light purple silk dress that draped to the floor, exposing her smooth ivory arms and unintentionally invoking a strong desire to conquer.
Ye Haochuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, thinking that the beautiful chairman was irresistibly bewitching!
Behind Xiao Haimie stood the couple Li Tianwei and Tan Yuying.
Seeing the couple behaving so docilely, it was clear they knew about the three bodyguards who had been severely dealt with.
Furthermore, knowing that Ye Haochuan was not to be trifled with, but needing to save their son's life, they had no choice but to pull in Chairman Xiao of Haishan University.
"Chairman Xiao, what brings you here?" Ye Haochuan wouldn't be rude to Xiao Haimie, who had once helped him.
"I've come to ask for the services of the Divine Doctor to treat my nephew's injuries," Xiao Haimie said, a smile gracing her mature and glamorous face.
"That guy in the hospital bed is your nephew?" Ye Haochuan was surprised.
"The genuine article," Xiao Haimie nodded, "How about it? Doing your sister a favor, could you heal him?"
Sister?
Ye Haochuan chuckled, noting how the pretty chairman liked to get her way. But considering age, she was indeed older than him, more than enough to be called 'sister'.
"Sister Mei, well, that can be arranged. I can do you this favor, but what about others who've been disrespecting me? How do we settle that?" Ye Haochuan said, glancing at the couple Li Tianwei and Tan Yuying.
Li Tianwei, who had made his own way to his current status, was no pushover and immediately understood Ye Haochuan's implied meaning.
He was evidently waiting for Li Tianwei to make a statement!
"Young man, I'm sorry, I was blind to not recognize Mount Tai earlier. Please be magnanimous and forgive my previous attitude. My son's life is hanging by a thread, and I need your extraordinary abilities to save him," Li Tianwei said in a low and humble voice.
Damn, where was this earlier?
Ye Haochuan was a bit displeased. Although saving lives was his duty, he didn't want to agree too easily and said, "I dare not. There are plenty of experts and professors who can save President Li's son. Why bother coming to me?"
Li Tianwei was extremely embarrassed, but now, for the sake of his son, he had to swallow his pride, "I was an idiot earlier, please don't take it to heart. Alright, if you agree to save my son, I will give you five thousand dollars."
With a mocking smile, Ye Haochuan said, "So, President Li, your son's life is only worth five thousand dollars?"
