188: Chapter 187: Quite Unexpected 188: Chapter 187: Quite Unexpected Xiao Yanzi’s face regained its serious expression as she said to Liu Hun, word by word, “Governor Cai Yilan!” Liu Hun’s head buzzed, and he instantly understood why Xiao Yanzhu had driven personally to Wanbao Village to pick him up, and why Xiao Yanzi had come here as well. It turned out that the person lying inside was the top official of the Governor’s office. “My sister has finally done something smart, telling me about this!” Xiao Yanzi said, her face erupting with an irrepressible excitement. She was so dedicated and ambitious about her career, solely focused on climbing up the ranks. And saving Cai Yilan’s life, a big event like this, would undoubtedly allow her to smoothly hop on Cai Yilan’s big boat and sail a smooth course in her career. Liu Hun watched Xiao Yanzi’s expression, never expecting her to be so career-driven, with ambitions far from ordinary. Xiao Yanzi seemed to have noticed Liu Hun looking at her. She turned and said to him, “Liu Hun, I don’t know what you think, but I have to tell you, this is my character, my career. I must cultivate it diligently and sometimes even with a bit of cunning. Look at those people, from the Provincial Committee to the County Committee, they all came here after hearing the news through various channels. Each one of them has more background and influence than I do, yet they still show up. If I hadn’t come today, my career would probably be over.” Liu Hun nodded slightly. It was true that having a powerful backer was advantageous, a logic he was all too familiar with, and it was something he had always been doing himself, just not as blatantly opportunistic as Xiao Yanzi. “Zhu’er is out!” As soon as Xiao Yanzi saw Xiao Yanzhu, she immediately walked over, and Liu Hun followed. Dressed in protective gear, Xiao Yanzhu, accompanied by several doctors, came out. The person standing in the middle was an old man with white hair and beard blended together, looking benevolent with kind brows and a smile on his face. His name tag read Yuhua City People’s Hospital Director Nie Xin, who said with an excited smile that almost trembled, “A miracle! This is truly a miracle! Not only was Governor Cai brought back from the brink of death, but all symptoms of cancer have completely disappeared!” If a nurse or a junior doctor had said this here, they would probably have received some cold stares, but coming from the mouth of the director himself, it was an ironclad fact, a miracle! “Hem hem!” Xu Dingquan, standing to the side, coughed twice at this moment, seemingly as a reminder of something. Director Nie immediately smiled and then, in front of the provincial and municipal officials, said, “Our own Director Xu is the greatest contributor to the miracle of resuscitating Governor Cai and performing the emergency treatment!” Hearing Director Nie’s words, Xiao Yanzi was immediately startled, then looked blankly at Liu Hun, her eyes conveying an indistinct meaning, almost as if she was accusing Liu Hun of deceiving her. “Governor Cai still needs to rest quietly, so please, everyone, head to the break room first. Our hospital will hold a brief press conference,” Director Nie told those present, convinced that this was a medical miracle and, more importantly, an honor for the city’s people’s hospital. “Wait!” Liu Hun suddenly shouted, the moment had come for him to stand up. If the credit fell on Xiao Yanzhu’s shoulders, he really had no objections, but if Xu Dingquan wanted to take the credit, he would have to see if Liu Hun agreed to it! The people around all turned their gazes to Liu Hun, and Xiao Yanzhu was momentarily taken aback before quickly walking over and saying, “Mr. Guan, what are you doing here? Weren’t you in the sickroom? Sister, when did you arrive?” “Don’t worry about me. What exactly is going on here? Wasn’t it Liu Hun who cured him? How did it suddenly become that Xu guy’s credit? If this falls into his pocket, not only will you lose the chance at the director’s position, but my connections will be blocked as well!” Xiao Yanzi said to her sister, her tone actually containing a hint of complaint. She had just received reliable information from Liu Hun, but now things had changed, and she could hardly bear the loss. “Ah, sis! Stop causing trouble for me,” Xiao Yanzhu said with a frown to her sister. She didn’t quite like her sister always prioritizing her career over everything else. Without much explanation to the two sisters, Liu Hun walked up to the crowd with a smile on his lips and confidently said, “Everyone, Governor Cai was cured by me. It has nothing to do with that Xu guy!” When he spoke, astonishment was evident on everyone’s faces. It was completely unexpected that someone would step forward to take credit right after the good news had broken. “Young man, you...” Director Nie was just about to speak when Xu Dingquan rudely interrupted him. Xu Dingquan glared at Liu Hun and said furiously, “You, surnamed Guan, are nothing but a filthy farmer from the backwaters! Stop showing off and fooling people here! Let me make it clear to you, this isn’t where you can run wild!” Watching Liu Hun dare to step forward at this moment, with old grudges and new piled up together, his own son’s issue still unresolved, and now this guy had the audacity to steal credit, Xu Dingquan felt like tearing Liu Hun apart! “You can’t speak of Mr. Guan like that! He saved my mother! You were there at the time, you saw it with your own eyes! He can cure late-stage cancer patients, just before I left, he was at the bedside of Mr. Cai. So...” Xiao Yanzhu said somewhat excitedly, the normally gentle and mild-mannered her rarely ever spoke so intensely or questioned anyone, and by the end, she seemed to run out of steam as she said, “I think it must have been Mr. Guan who cured Mr. Cai.” “Utter nonsense! Vice-Director Xiao! What evidence do you have to prove that this filthy farmer cured Mr. Cai? Guesswork? Medicine is a serious matter! It’s not about personal judgments! It’s not what you think! You think I don’t know what you’re after? Aren’t you just eyeing the position of director? Then show your ability! Don’t spend all day with your ‘I think’ this and ‘I think’ that. You think the whole world is your father?” Xu Dingquan said viciously to Xiao Yanzhu. He was determined to suppress his formidable competitor at all costs, especially since she was now defending the despised Liu Hun. The sisters had grown up fatherless. Hearing Xu Dingquan speak in such a manner, the soft-tempered Xiao Yanzhu’s eyes reddened as she was about to cry, while Xiao Yanzi was about to open her mouth and curse in fury. “Slap!” Liu Hun slapped Xu Dingquan across the face, then, with lightning speed, gripped Xu Dingquan’s jaw and yanked it, dislocating it instantly, and Xu Dingquan fell to the ground face-first like a dog eating dirt. The surrounding socialites, officials at various levels, and the hospital’s doctors were all stunned. They couldn’t believe Liu Hun would actually hit someone and even more so that in just a few seconds, the tall and sturdy Xu Dingquan was taken down. “Since you can’t talk like a human, there’s no need for you to speak at all. Your son Xu Haijiang is trash, and you’re no better!” Liu Hun said and, without another word, lifted his leg and “smack!” stomped on Xu Dingquan’s face. “Well stomped! Serves him right!” Xiao Yanzi said fiercely, feeling incredibly satisfied and relieved inside. Xiao Yanzhu felt somewhat worried, but for the first time experienced the refreshing feeling of releasing pent-up anger. The crowd was used to playing nice in front and pulling strings in the dark, not used to seeing someone so brazen and domineering as to stomp on faces. Provincial and municipal officials shook their heads in disbelief, seeing Liu Hun as nothing but a hothead destined for trouble. Director Nie, an old man in his sixties, saw his blood pressure rise upon witnessing the scene. He wanted to help Xu Dingquan up but was worried about his own frail arms and legs possibly getting broken by Liu Hun and could only say to Liu Hun, “Young man, let’s talk this out. Everyone here is a respected official from the province and city. You need to think carefully!” Liu Hun had no issues with the old director and merely smiled, saying, “Director Nie, the recovery of Mr. Cai is a miracle, but Xu Dingquan is just... nonsense! I’m helping you, helping the People’s Hospital!” “Help me? Help the People’s Hospital? How are you helping?” Director Nie felt like he was about to have a heart attack, watching Liu Hun brazenly hit and stomp as he claimed to be helping. What infuriated him even more was the silent officials at the scene, each looking to their superiors for cues, and the sly veterans not making a peep. The smile on Liu Hun’s face suddenly vanished, and a commanding aura erupted from him, startling those around him. He uttered four astounding words, “Clean up the house!” Who exactly was this kid? That aura was certainly no joke! Could he really be some reclusive expert? Considering how he effortlessly handled Xu Dingquan, perhaps it really was him who saved Mr. Cai. How did he move so quickly when he hit Director Xu? No one could see clearly. Everyone present pondered and guessed in their minds. Despite being battle-hardened officials, not a single one dared to make a sound or intervene. Xu Dingquan lay on the ground, rolling around like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, unable to speak with his dislocated jaw, only making wheezing noises. Hearing Liu Hun utter “Clean up the house,” he was so terrified that he trembled all over and cried out in desperation. “Director Nie! What are you all doing? Don’t you know Mr. Cai just went through a serious operation and needs to rest?” Just as Liu Hun was about to act, the door to the ward opened, and a middle-aged woman who looked pampered and as well-kept as a celebrity walked out, frowning and showing weariness and anxiety. This woman appeared, and Liu Hun was taken aback, as if he had seen her somewhere before but couldn’t quite place her at the moment. “Hey! You! Yes, you! Don’t look at others! Your violence and bravado are seriously affecting Mr. Cai’s rest and the peace of the entire hospital! Let me tell you, if Mr. Cai’s rest is disturbed in the slightest because of you, you better be ready to face the consequences!” Huang Shun, the Yuhua City Police Chief, had been eagerly waiting for this moment. He had kept quiet earlier, but he jumped at the chance when he saw Cai Yilan’s wife, Mu Zhuangqing, come out.
