Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 368: Chapter 368 Heavenly Fortune (10)

“`

The patient’s older brother looked at the knife being handed to him, his face alternating between pale and flushed, more colorful than a painter’s palette.

“Kill, then.”

Chuzheng continued to push the knife forward.

“You…”

“Isn’t it for avenging your brother?” Chuzheng said, “Go on, do it.”

Pressured by Chuzheng, the patient’s older brother backed away as silence descended around them, and everyone stared at the girl in shock and fear.

Who hands over a knife when someone causes a scene?

Suddenly, the patient’s older brother let out a yell, snatched the knife from Chuzheng’s hand, and charged at Chu Wu.

“Ah!”

The onlookers screamed in fright.

However, the bloody scene they anticipated didn’t happen. The seemingly delicate girl lifted her foot and kicked the patient’s older brother in the stomach, sending him crashing into the wall behind.

Clang.

The knife fell on the tiled floor, ringing out crisply.

The patient’s older brother was probably stunned by the kick.

When he finally came to, he didn’t get up but instead sat on the ground, throwing a tantrum.

“Someone’s been killed…”

“Someone’s been killed!”

“Oh, this hospital not only kills patients, it beats people to death too. Is there no justice left in this world?”

Chuzheng didn’t even glance at him and turned to look at Chu Wu: “Are you alright?”

Blood continued to stream down Chu Wu’s forehead, and his dark, ink-like eyes slowly regained focus with the sound of Chuzheng’s voice.

The girl’s reflection appeared in his pupils, her delicate features devoid of any emotion, indifferent and cold.

“I’ll take you back to the office first,” Chuzheng said, seeing that he didn’t respond, and she wrapped her arm around his waist, walking through the crowd.

“Don’t let them go,” the patient’s older brother roared: “Stop them, we must have an explanation. Oh, my back…”

Hearing this, two men among the patient’s family members readied themselves to step forward.

Chuzheng looked back, her eyes cold as they landed on them.

A chill ran up the spines of the two men, who simultaneously stopped in their tracks.

How could a little girl’s gaze be so terrifying…

Intimidated by the young girl, the two men felt a sting of irritation inside. She was just a little girl; even if she had some fighting skills, could she really be a match for two grown men?

With this thought, the two approached again.

“Oh no, this is serious, someone’s been killed, come quick and see…”

Amid the wailing and sobbing of the patient’s older brother, the two men planned to grab one each.

Chuzheng, holding onto Chu Wu, kicked one of the men’s thigh sideways, then hooked, sending him sprawling to the ground.

She followed through with a kick to the man’s backside, changing the direction of his fall so he collided with the other man.

The two men tumbled to the ground in a heap.

“Stop fighting!”

A young doctor in a white coat, followed by others, pushed through the crowd, separating Chuzheng and the agitated family members.

“Everyone, please stop fighting. We haven’t fully investigated the situation yet. Please remain calm…”

“My family member isn’t the one who died, so of course you’re not upset. Give me my husband back!” the patient’s wife wept bitterly.

The young doctor consoled, “The hospital will surely investigate to understand exactly what happened in order to give you an explanation. Rest assured, we will get to the bottom of this. It’s our responsibility to the hospital and to the deceased.”

“Responsibility? You assigned a doctor who hasn’t operated in years. What kind of responsibility is that? Where are your leaders, let them come out!”

“I’m telling you, nobody’s leaving today.”

“She, she hit people too! Is there no law any more!?”

The young doctor looked towards Chuzheng, whom they pointed at, with a slight look of surprise on his face.

This isn’t the one…

Thoughts flashed through the young doctor’s mind, but without time to ponder, he simply stated, “She’s not from our hospital.”

“So she can hit people because she’s not from your hospital? Look at her, standing with that murderer, they’re in cahoots!!”

“You bunch of Executioners, you’re not fit to be doctors! You’re beasts!!”

“Give me back my brother’s life! ”

“`

Chuzheng, annoyed, walked forward two steps.

The patient’s brother who was kicked by Chuzheng, and those two men, simultaneously took a step back.

Their retreat caused the noisy family members to also step back.

The scene inexplicably quieted down.

“I called the police, quiet down and wait for them to come, stop making noise.” How annoying.

“Called… the police?” The patient’s brother’s expression clearly changed, but he quickly adopted a tough attitude, “You think just because you call the police, we will be scared of you?”

“If you’re the victims, why would you be afraid of us?” Chuzheng’s tone was as cold as the ice and snow of the deep winter, “There’s something wrong with what you said.”

The patient’s brother was immediately at a loss for words.

His facial expression changed rapidly.

About thirty seconds later, the patient’s brother stiffened his neck, “Fine! I haven’t even called the police yet! You hit someone just now, wait till the police get here, you’ll see!”

Chuzheng had indeed called the police.

And it was before she had come in.

So just as the patient’s brother’s words had not yet settled, the police had already arrived.

Upon seeing the police, the patient’s brother rushed over to them.

His leg was no longer limp, and his waist no longer hurt.

“You’re finally here, if you hadn’t come we would have been beaten to death by these hospital people.”

The patient’s brother and a few family members surrounded the police, rattling off a slew of complaints.

Hearing it was a medical incident, the police all felt a headache coming on.

“It was her; she hit people.”

The police looked at Chuzheng, their first reaction being that she was too frail; facing these several big men, how could she possibly hit them? Moreover, these people didn’t seem to have any issues.

Instead, it was the young man behind the young girl who had blood trailing down his face.

“You hit someone?”

But since they were all saying so, the police still had to ask.

“No,” Chuzheng denied seriously.

Hit what people!

Was that a hit?

That was a kick!

“So many people were watching just now, she’s still making excuses, she must be arrested!” the patient’s brother clamored and didn’t forget to seek confirmation from the people around, “You all saw her hit someone, didn’t you? She’s covering for that murderer, hitting me, a victim’s family member, is there no law anymore?”

The police asked the crowd of onlookers.

They confirmed that Chuzheng had indeed made a move.

“I was defending myself,” Chuzheng claimed boldly, “They were the ones who brought out the knife first.”

“Bullshit! You were the one who gave me that knife!!” The patient’s brother became furious upon hearing that, “How can you distort the truth.”

[…] Distorting the truth? Miss, you might just as well hand him a wok to carry.

The knife was still on the ground, and the police picked it up, “Is there surveillance here?”

“Yes,” the young doctor replied.

“You all disperse these patients first, don’t crowd around here,” the police instructed, “and you all stop making a fuss for now, let’s first clarify what happened.”

“That won’t do, they have to give us an explanation. Our relative died here; we can’t let it go unaddressed,” the patient’s brother insisted.

The patient’s wife joined in the commotion as well.

The police’s headache only grew worse.

After calming the disruptive patient’s family members, they began to resolve one issue after another.

The first matter was Chuzheng hitting people and to whom the fallen knife at the scene belonged.

Originally, this was a trivial matter since the knife hadn’t injured anyone.

But the patient’s family was making a big fuss, insisting that the police arrest Chuzheng.@@novelbin@@

The young doctor mentioned surveillance, but upon checking, it turned out that the cameras in that area were out of order due to maintenance needs.

Chuzheng had taken the knife out, and many onlookers had seen it.

But Chuzheng wouldn’t admit to it.

She demanded that they produce evidence to prove the knife was hers.

Someone had taken a video at the scene, but because it was chaotic at the time, no one captured it clearly.
