The day quickly passed, and Zhang Wo was walking home from work. As he stepped out of the hospital gate, he saw the graceful figure of Lin Bailin not far ahead, and suddenly, a sinister fire surged in his lower abdomen again.
In the morning, after returning to his office, the first thing he did was to check the background of that young man from the morning, only to discover that he was directly transferred to the pharmacy by the dean.
This meant he couldn't mess with him subtly, and the morning incident wasn't convenient to spread.
But as for Chen Yuan, what could he do about a mere nurse?
When it's too late to undo what's done, a nurse with no background or support—who will stand by you then?
He quickly walked forward and grabbed Lin Bailin's arm.
Lin Bailin, caught off guard, turned around and jumped when she saw it was Zhang Wo.
Just as Zhang Wo was about to scare her before taking further actions, a loud shout stopped him.
"Stop!"
A brawny man in a black tank top shouted.
He was somewhat stunned, looking around uncertainly, only seeing himself alone, puzzledly asked, "Me?"
"Damn right, you with the big belly, a balding head, and that sleazy look!" the brawny man shouted, with four or five henchmen already circling around Zhang Wo.
"You must have mistaken me for someone else," Zhang Wo said, looking at the people encircling him, thinking they definitely mistook him for someone else. Although he was arrogant at times, it was only towards those in the hospital without any backing.
So he was sure these people must have mistaken him, and since this area was still within the hospital's territory, they surely wouldn't dare do much.
Lin Bailin, seeing these ferocious-looking strong men, was also somewhat confused, but since they were dealing with scum like Zhang Wo, she naturally didn't mind.
"Mistaken? There's no one else in the entire hospital as sleazy-looking as you, named Zhang Wo. Mistaken my ass!" The brawny man slapped Zhang Wo on the head.
Zhang Wo was caught off-guard by the smack, almost stumbling; he didn't expect the man to actually hit him, and he became somewhat frantic, "Big brother, you've really mistaken me for someone else, I don't know you."
The brawny man swung his hand again, slapping him on the head, shouting, "Guys, beat him hard! This son of a bitch, still pretending?"
The few men surrounding Zhang Wo instantly started punching and kicking. Zhang Wo, while protecting his head, cried out,
"Big… big brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, isn't there a better way to talk this out?"
Seeing that they began to really beat him, even calling out his name, Zhang Wo suddenly felt a bad premonition—had some of his usual deeds been discovered?
"Huh? Admitting it now? Tell me, what did you do wrong?"
"I… I shouldn't have gotten involved with married women?" Zhang Wo tentatively raised his head and carefully asked.
"Fucking hell, you even seduced married men? Guys, keep beating him," shouted the brawny man, and another round of punches and kicks followed.
This time Zhang Wo couldn't protect his head in time, and soon his face was bruised and swollen.
"I...I shouldn't have taken kickbacks?" he hurriedly shouted, fearing these unknown men might cripple him.
"Kickbacks? Are you being fair to the hospital, and to the patients?"
"I... I'm sorry…"
"Smack!" The brawny man slapped him again, "What's the use of telling me! What else did you do?"
"I... I shouldn't have harassed the hospital nurses… I shouldn't have parked shared bikes randomly, and also…" Zhang Wo clenched his teeth, hoping to get hit less by confessing all the unscrupulous things he had done.
"Smack!" Another slap came down.
"Even the nurses you harassed, are you even human?"
"Smack!" Another slap, "Have you no self-respect left?"
"…Then… am I human…"
"Smack! You dare call yourself human looking like that?"
"… So… am I a human or not…" Zhang Wo was almost crying, feeling extremely wronged.
Getting beaten whether behaving or not, can't we even reason happily anymore?
"I don't even know if I'm human anymore, so why keep living? Boys, keep hitting him!"
Moments later, Zhang Wo's head had swollen up like a pig's.
"Wuuu, what have I done wrong?" Zhang Wo asked desperately.
"Ah? Let me think." The burly man paused briefly, then clapped his hands and continued, "Ah, you shouldn't have harassed the female nurse. You think you can mess with Sister Lin? You really got tired of living huh?"
After saying that, the burly man pointed towards Lin Bailin not far away.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wo felt like ten thousand horses were running through his heart. Damn, hadn't I already said that earlier? Why are they still beating me?
"You dare to harass my sister-in-law? Looks like you really want to die." The burly man said viciously, raising his hand and slapping Zhang Wo's face, which was already swollen like a weight.
At that moment, Zhang Wo felt utterly hopeless in his heart. Damn, if he had known Lin Bailin had such backing, he wouldn't have dared to mess with her.
Seeing the man pointing at her, Lin Bailin was momentarily stunned and confusedly asked, "Me?"
She didn't recognize any of these people; how had she suddenly become Sister Lin?
Regardless, these people meant no harm to her and had even taught Zhang Wo a lesson.
Lin Bailin stepped forward to thank them, after all, they had just helped her.
"Big sis, no need for that; this is what brothers should do." A thug said, looking at Lin Bailin and extending his tender slim fingers, instantly reaching out his hand.
However, he was slapped on the head by the burly leader, who yelled:
"Damn it, you dare touch the woman Big Brother fancies?"
Hearing this, the thug immediately realized his mistake and retreated nervously.
With a pleasing face, the burly man said, "If you want to thank anyone, thank Big Brother, haha."
The more Lin Bailin listened, the more confused she became, yet she softly thanked them.
She looked at Zhang Wo, who was battered with a swollen face, and seeing that the group had stopped, she turned around and left.
After Lin Bailin had walked away, the burly man waved his hand, and the crowd moved towards Zhang Wo again, resuming their 'performance.'
Just when Zhang Wo felt that today might be his end, suddenly a voice that brought immense relief sounded.
"Stop!"
Chen Yuan appeared from the back door and shouted loudly at the burly man.
The burly man was none other than Lin Rong, a younger brother taken in by Chen Yuan.
Seeing Chen Yuan, Lin Rong showed a shocked expression and trembled, "You... You are the renowned Jade-faced Flying Dragon, Chen Yuan?"
Chen Yuan's mouth twitched slightly. Damn, such acting skills. I hadn't even mentioned my name and you started acting? And Jade-faced Flying Dragon?
Meanwhile, Zhang Wo, completely oblivious to this, hugged Chen Yuan's legs and cried:
"Doctor Chen, wuuu, save me, they... they are bullying me."
Chen Yuan looked at Zhang Wo, who was in his forties yet crying like a child... well, a rather old, ugly child, and his face revealed a hint of sympathy, "Minister Zhang, what happened to you? Don't worry, as long as I'm here, they won't dare to do anything."
"Do you all know that Minister Zhang is a 'friend' of mine, Chen Yuan? By doing this, are you not showing disrespect towards me?" Chen Yuan looked sternly at Lin Rong.
Lin Rong initially covered his mouth in feigned surprise, then cupped his hands and said, "It was presumptuous of us, but he harassed our big sister-in-law, so this beating was inevitable. Since Brother Flying Dragon has intervened, let it end here."
"If it happens again, then we'll have to break hands and..."
"Never again! Never again!" Zhang Wo hadn't expected Chen Yuan to be so renowned. Seeing the other party selling his face, he immediately praised.
"Alright, let's leave it at that." Lin Rong waved his hand, gave Chen Yuan a knowing look, and left with his men.
Chen Yuan muttered, "So much drama." then helped Zhang Wo up, and said with remorse,
"Minister Zhang, are you alright? How has this handsome face become like this?"
"It's my fault; I arrived too late."
