17: Chapter 0017: A Small Punishment 17: Chapter 0017: A Small Punishment The security guards before me had believed the young man to be a thief after hearing the security captain’s words, not realizing that he was actually the doctor of the Vice Mayor’s daughter. Knowing they had made a mistake, they wanted to leave, but they didn’t dare to! Ye Qiu could tell at a glance that these guards were judging people by their appearance. “Are you brainless? In broad daylight, which thief would dare to enter here so openly?” Ye Qiu said as he looked at them. By then, Li Zhiguo had come out and looked at Ye Qiu, asking, “Shall we fire them as well?” At the hospital, Li Zhiguo remembered clearly that one of Ye Qiu’s conditions for treating his daughter was to fire those security guards from the hospital. Now, these guards had done the same thing, and Li Zhiguo thought Ye Qiu would want to dismiss them all as well. Hearing Li Zhiguo’s words, the security guards were even more panicked. After being discharged from military service, they had finally found a job that was both well-paid and relaxed; if they were really fired, they had no idea where to find such a job again. “Mayor Li, we only identified the young man as a thief after hearing the security captain’s words,” said the guards, pleading for mercy. While the guards were pleading for mercy, Ye Qiu said, “They were just doing their duty; there’s no need to fire them.” Li Zhiguo and Lu Xiuyu didn’t expect Ye Qiu to let the guards off the hook. The guards breathed a sigh of relief and, while thanking and apologizing to Ye Qiu, they didn’t expect to suddenly feel a rumbling in their stomachs. “Pfft, pfft, pfft!” Then, these few guards couldn’t stop farting. Lu Xiuyu frowned, covered her mouth, and was about to go back inside when something even more unexpected happened. Aside from farting, the guards actually soiled themselves, leaving a yellow stain on the trousers of their security uniforms. Just now, the guards had already felt something was wrong with their stomachs, but they had tried to hold it in, never expecting that they wouldn’t be able to control themselves, breaking wind and then losing bowel control completely. Li Zhiguo and Lu Xiuyu didn’t linger any longer and quickly went back inside, the ground possibly stained with the slimy feces that had just dripped from the guards’ trousers. Lu Xiuyu felt disgusted. She knew they had to call the property management company to complain about the guards and to have the property management clean their doorway thoroughly. After Li Zhiguo and Lu Xiuyu left, the eight or nine guards scrambled towards their dormitory in a very sorry state. Watching them leave, Ye Qiu smiled at the corner of his mouth; it was just a small punishment for the guards. The guards, unaware, thought they had eaten something bad for breakfast that day, leading to their public embarrassment in front of the Vice Mayor and his wife. Ye Qiu pushed his twenty-eight-bar bicycle inside and, after casually placing it under a tree, Lu Xiuyu hurriedly invited Ye Qiu in. “These guards have very low standards. No matter what, we need to have the property management company replace them with a new batch!” Lu Xiuyu said. She was speaking to Ye Qiu. Similarly, she was also very dissatisfied. Now, as Ye Qiu came in and sat down on the first floor, he asked, “Madam Li, has Miss Li woken up yet?” “Qianqian has woken up, but she hasn’t spoken a word. Could there be another issue?” Lu Xiuyu hastily asked. “Miss Li’s condition is probably because her soul has just returned, and her mind hasn’t found peace yet. In a day or two, when her spirits are clear, she will be all right,” Ye Qiu explained. Lu Xiuyu heard this and felt that it should be the case. After Lu Xiuyu poured a cup of tea for Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu took a sip of the tea and then went upstairs to a small master bedroom, which was Li Qianqian’s room. When Lu Xiuyu pushed open the door and entered with Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu saw that this boudoir, like those of other girls, was decorated in pink. However, Li Qianqian was lying quietly on the bed, her gaze toward the window. The sunlight streaming through the window shone on her face, which looked quite lifeless. The sunlight was a bit dazzling now, so Lu Xiuyu drew the curtains slightly. “Doctor Ye, how should we proceed with treating Qianqian?” Lu Xiuyu asked. “Madame Li, don’t worry, I assure you Li Qiangin will be fine very soon,” Ye Qiu said.

Since Ye Qiu was able to bring her daughter back from the hospital last night under those circumstances, there was no need to worry about now. When Lu Xiuyu wanted to stay and watch, Ye Qiu said, “Madame Li, please step out for now. After I have finished treating her, you can come up.” Lu Xiuyu had no choice but to leave. After closing the door, Ye Qiu sat by Li Qianqian’s bedside and carefully observed the deputy mayor’s daughter in front of him. Li Qianqian appeared to be about the same age as his sister, around twenty years old. However, Li Qianqian’s previous living environment was much better than Ye Xue’s. Ye Xue would be busy from five or six in the morning until one or two o’clock the next morning. Additionally, Ye Xue had previously suffered from the sequelae of polio, which means that the deputy mayor’s daughter in front of him was far more fortunate than Ye Xue. Li Qianqian seemed to notice Ye Qiu sitting beside the bed, but her eyes still did not show much change, as if she were staring blankly at the ceiling. Clearly, this was because her soul had been out of her body for too long, and having only recently returned last night, her body was still not fully accustomed. Of course, the most serious issue with Li Qianqian was the muscle atrophy throughout her body caused by the prolonged bed rest due to her previous coma. This muscle atrophy was naturally not as severe as the atrophy in Ye Xue’s right leg. But if it lasted for a long time, it would still affect a person’s normal life. Last night, Ye Qiu could have fully restored Li Qianqian’s muscles, but he did not. Now, Ye Qiu looked at Li Qianqian and said, “Miss Li, I am going to start treating you now. Close your eyes first.” Li Qianqian’s eyes remained motionless, and Ye Qiu could not do anything about it. Coming to her side, he first began to unbutton her blouse, and upon seeing more clearly, Ye Qiu discovered her muscles were atrophied to a moderate degree. In some areas, there were even thick layers of skin, resembling the slack skin of the elderly. From the incident at the Spring Festival to now, it had only been two months, but it was the prolonged coma and lack of movement that had led to her current symptoms. Li Qianqian’s eyes were still open, and she felt Ye Qiu removing her blouse. She wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words at the moment. Starting from her neck, Ye Qiu’s hand swept over softly, and Li Qianqian’s original atrophied muscles and skin regained their smoothness, fairness, and elasticity. In just a few minutes, Li Qianqian’s upper body had completely recovered, showing no signs of muscle atrophy.
