Chapter 38: Chapter 38, Promised by the Kidney Chen Zhiyuan was utterly bewildered. He had never expected Xu Wendong to show up at work unscathed. After all, last night, he received a call from Chen Dahu, who said he had gathered sixty or seventy brothers and was sure they could cripple Xu Wendong’s legs. But he never dreamed that Xu Wendong would appear before his eyes alive and well. Xu Wendong’s face showed a trace of a cold smile, "Director Chen, the people of Black Dragon Hall aren’t as powerful as you imagine. Yes, that’s it." Chen Zhiyuan instinctively swallowed and forced a smile, "It’s truly a remarkable thing that Doctor Xu came out unscathed. Well then, I have to go for an appointment, you guys carry on!" Saying this, he quickly walked out. He didn’t know why Xu Wendong was unharmed at his job, and now it seemed there was only one explanation: Chen Dahu’s men didn’t manage to intercept Xu Wendong. "Xu Wendong, don’t celebrate too soon. Offending the Black Dragon Hall won’t end well for you." Chen Zhiyuan gave up the idea of calling Chen Dahu to investigate. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, just that there seemed no need. Because he knew that if he called, he would surely be scolded by the other party. ------ After Chen Zhiyuan left, Ding Yao hurriedly closed the door and locked it, her face full of seriousness, "Why was your phone off? Why were you late?" Xu Wendong replied awkwardly, "I forgot to charge my phone yesterday, and I was late because of traffic while taking a taxi." Ding Yao felt relieved and said eagerly, "Hurry and take off your clothes." Xu Wendong looked embarrassed, "Sister, isn’t it inappropriate to do that early in the morning?" Ding Yao’s face instantly turned flush red, and she said coyly, "You’re too young to be thinking like that. What are you thinking of? Am I that type of woman who acts out of desperation? I just want to check if you’re hurt." Xu Wendong looked surprised, then immediately said with a big smile, "I’m fine, those from Black Dragon Hall didn’t even manage to touch me." Ding Yao asked quietly, "Really?" Xu Wendong nodded solemnly, "I ought to thank Sister Ding. If we hadn’t engaged in dual cultivation and my skills improved, even if I hadn’t died last night, I would have lost half my life." Ding Yao wrapped her jade-like arms around his neck, gazing at him deeply, "So, how do you plan to thank your sister? You wouldn’t just say it, right? If that’s the case, it really lacks sincerity!" Looking at her delicate face and smelling the light fragrance of her perfume, Xu Wendong felt his mouth dry up and subconsciously placed his hands on her slender waist, gently lifting her onto the office desk, then kissed her. He expressed all his gratitude through actions, showing his full sincerity this way. Meanwhile, his hands reached beneath the woman’s white coat, "I’ll repay you with my body!" Ding Yao flushed red and said in a hurried voice, "Don’t..." Xu Wendong complied, "Alright." Ding Yao said, "Don’t stop..." ------ Zhang Family Boxing Gym. "Dad, I just heard something big, and it’s related to our Baji Fist." While Zhang Zhenlin was practicing, his daughter Zhang Qianqian ran over in a tracksuit, looking panicked. Zhang Zhenlin finished his practice, then picked up a towel to wipe the sweat off his face and neck. Even though it was raining today, he always sweated a lot when practicing. He casually asked, "What is this important matter you’re talking about?" Zhang Qianqian said in shock, "I heard last night the people from Black Dragon Hall were defeated. They sent out sixty to seventy people, but ended up defeated by a mysterious person, all sent to South City Orthopedics Hospital with severe injuries to over fifty people. Yet that person escaped unscathed, not even getting hurt." "Where did you hear such gossip?" Zhang Zhenlin scoffed, "The people from Black Dragon Hall aren’t weak. Even if I faced them, I could at most fight twenty of them. One person defeating sixty to seventy of them and escaping unharmed? I don’t believe it." Zhang Qianqian, "I knew you wouldn’t believe it. But, this isn’t all; I heard the person used Baji Fist." Saying this, she took out her phone, opened the photo album, and handed it to her father, "I contacted Uncle Wang at the Orthopedics Hospital. He sent the CT scans of those patients to my phone. Take a look at these CT images!" Zhang Zhenlin naturally didn’t believe his daughter’s words because there were very few people who cultivated Baji Fist in Qingyuan. It was impossible for the kind of super expert his daughter talked about to exist. He took the phone, and upon seeing those CT images on it. He couldn’t help but take a deep breath, his pupils trembling violently, evident at how shocked he was inside. Being a martial arts expert, he could tell at a glance from the fractured bones on the CT that they were caused by the aggressive and powerful attacks of Baji Fist. After all, the injuries were obvious. If he couldn’t even discern this, he wouldn’t qualify to open a gym and accept apprentices. "Defeating sixty to seventy elites from Black Dragon Hall single-handedly and escaping unharmed, who exactly is this person?" Zhang Zhenlin’s face was full of amazement. The sudden emergence of a mysterious Baji Fist expert left him with a foreboding feeling in his heart. "Dad, the mysterious expert’s proficiency in Baji Fist is quite high, I estimate they’re above your level," Zhang Qianqian said with a serious expression, "I have a premonition that they likely originate from the main family. Besides the main family, there are no experts so proficient in Baji Fist in the martial world." Zhang Zhenlin sighed lightly, his words full of melancholy, "If it’s really them, then our trouble is big. Since they appeared in Qingyuan, it shows they’ve already learned of our whereabouts. But it’s nothing too serious. What will come, will come eventually. We’ve been hiding for so many years. We should be content." Seeing her father so worried, Zhang Qianqian felt a bit regretful for mentioning that the person likely came from the main family and quickly changed the subject, "Perhaps they just happened to come here without knowing we opened a gym and accepted apprentices in Qingyuan." Zhang Zhenlin’s face revealed a bitter smile, "No matter who they are, Baji Fist’s reputation has spread in Qingyuan, which, for us, isn’t a good thing at all!" "Forget it, we’ll handle whatever comes our way!" ------ On the other side. Chen Zhiyuan walked into the consultation room with an irritated look. Today he was responsible for consultations, with many of his patients having registered and waiting in line. "Director Chen, the Jin Family Father and Son have come again!" A young nurse entered the consultation room and whispered to Chen Zhiyuan. Hearing that the Jin Family Father and Son had come again, Chen Zhiyuan’s heart trembled violently, a sense of unexplainable panic rising within him. He had vivid memories of the Jin Family Father and Son. Jin Jianyuan suffered from ankylosing spondylitis, was tormented by illness, and came regularly to him for acupuncture. If it were just this, it wouldn’t be a problem. But the issue was that Jin Jianyuan’s son, King Kong, was a fool, moody, with a build like a bear, and had once beaten him up. But since a fool killing someone isn’t against the law, he could only accept it. After that, he became apprehensive of the Jin Family Father and Son, specifically instructing the hospital staff to notify him if the father and son came for medical consultation. Thinking of this, he had a sudden idea and immediately said, "I’m feeling unwell, and I might not be able to consult today. Let Doctor Ding take over my work!" He knew King Kong was moody and wanted to use his hands to teach Xu Wendong a lesson.
