1905: Repelling a Hundred Evils

Zheng Ren looked at Dahungya, feeling torn between laughter and tears.

This guy does have a bit of talent, but the current crackdown on black-market activities is unprecedentedly strong, so he doesn't dare to swindle people ruthlessly.

Basically, they're the kind that doesn't really hurt or itch, or maybe just feels a little pang, but they're not willing to go through the hassle for such a small sum.

Speaking of Dahungya, he still has a bit of talent.

Moreover, he's quite good at picking people; one could say this is a viable approach.

But today his luck is poor; he encountered Hua Yingying, and Xie Yiren also ran into him.

It's probably Director Li coming to see Director Jin's family members, and the security guards dare not show up.

After Director Li and his group left, Hua Yingying was thinking to herself when someone took notice of her. She wasn't a patient's relative; she was just sitting blankly at the operating room door.

"The parking spaces aren't enough for what you're earning; why bother with all these crooked ways?" Zheng Ren said unhappily.

"Chief Zheng, you don't know, although it looks glamorous, I can't support the many people under me who need to eat." Dahungya said: "They all have families to feed; we can't keep doing things the old way... After you lecture me, I also feel that doing so is too unethical."

Saying that, he cautiously glanced at Zheng Ren; seeing that Zheng Ren showed no displeasure, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"If it were the past, catching such a fat sheep, we'd crush even the bone scraps." Dahungya glanced at Hua Yingying and spoke frankly.

"Alright, stop the nonsense." Zheng Ren waved his hand, "Um, Fourth Aunt, have you always been like this since childhood?"

The middle-aged woman sitting on the steps looked a bit dazed; she instinctively nodded, but then her arms began to move involuntarily.

Xie Yiren was terrified, tightly gripping Zheng Ren's arm. Yet she was still curious and wanted to look, peeking with one eye at the middle-aged woman.

"Is it acting up again?" Su Yun asked Zheng Ren.

Zheng Ren nodded.

Gao Shaojie stood at the entrance of the fire escape, feeling a little nervous.

The more intellectual a person is, when faced with a problem they can't explain, the more they tend to think of it in extreme terms.

Gao Shaojie suspected the middle-aged woman had a history of epilepsy, but he quickly dismissed the idea, since epilepsy isn't something one can predict when it will strike.

Just this point alone overturns the epilepsy hypothesis.

But Boss Zheng is quite certain it's some kind of illness; Gao Shaojie wonders what it could be.

However, his thoughts were soon disrupted; the middle-aged woman sat on the ground, her flailing arms and legs not particularly eye-catching, but her face looked especially frightening.

One half of her face was twisted with muscle spasms, while the other half remained calm as water.

Gao Shaojie felt fearful; if he were alone here, he'd probably just kneel down.

"How could a person do something like this?!" It's utterly terrifying—is this some Black Mountain Old Demon or a legendary monster?

In an instant, the fire escape was filled with eerie, ghostly qi; Gao Shaojie couldn't help but want to turn and flee. Yet when he glanced at Boss Zheng, he saw him standing motionless like a mountain, showing no fear at all, as if he were conducting a visual examination.

Gao Shaojie sighed inwardly; compared to Boss Zheng, the difference isn't just in surgical skill.

Zheng Ren saw the middle-aged woman's half-face twisted, her eyes narrowed. Cross-referencing with the system panel, many cases flashed through his mind.

After a few minutes, the middle-aged woman's appearance changed.

She lifted her head, looked at Zheng Ren, and her voice turned into a deep male tone.

"Doctor, I'm always like this."

Dahungya gloated inwardly; just now, Chief Zheng of Hai Cheng had never seen anything so fierce, and now he would get to know it!

The first time I saw such a ghostly appearance, I was scared half to death.

If Chief Zheng were scared to the point of losing bladder control, or even actually wet his pants, would I then have a psychological edge the next time we meet?

Dahungya was talking nonsense.

But the facts disappointed him.

Zheng Ren's expression didn't change at all; he stood like an immovable Taishan stone guardian opposite Fourth Aunt, repelling all evils!

"Oh, no wonder everyone thinks it's not an illness; it's normal not to notice." Zheng Ren asked: "Do you have any similar cases in your family?"

"My grandmother, as they say, was... I don't even know what they called her back then. It was before liberation, but everyone respected her." The deep male voice echoed in the hallway.

"So there's a family history; it seems you were already sensible when you were sent out."

The middle-aged woman stared coldly at Zheng Ren; her yin-yang face looked terrifying in the dim light.

But Zheng Ren didn't care; he reached back, took Xie Yiren's hand, comforted her, and smiled: "Your situation is already clear; let's treat the illness first."

"Chief Zheng, this isn't an illness." The middle-aged woman's tone suddenly changed.

The first word came out in a male voice, the second word shifted to a female voice. It was as if two different souls inside her were battling for control of her body, neither gaining the upper hand.

In an instant, the lighting in the entire fire escape seemed to dim a bit more.

Zheng Ren sensed Xie Yiren's fear; her small hand was icy cold.

"If you keep trying to scare people on purpose, don't blame me for taking action." Zheng Ren said coldly: "You have an illness; I'm here to treat you. Even if you don't thank me, that's fine, but don't deliberately frighten people."

"Boss, kill her!" Su Yun shouted while waving a flag, though she herself had slipped to the doorway.

"One does not speak of strange powers and chaos," Su Yun, when facing patients with congenital porphyria, dares to confront them directly. Yet facing today's situation, she also feels a bit timid.

But our boss is still here chatting and laughing; I can't just run away. If I did, how could I ever face him again?

"Doctor." Her voice sounded weak as she spoke, half her body trembling: "I really don't have an illness."

"Hmm, you don't know, and it's not your fault." Zheng Ren pulled Xiao Yi Ren behind him, stepped forward, and with a slap, struck the middle-aged woman's trembling arm at the radial styloid.

"Aoooo~~~"

The middle-aged woman let out an anguished scream.

Gao Shaojie also shuddered.

In the previous surgery, Boss Zheng had tapped the hemostatic forceps dozens of times, and it still hurts now. But this woman's cries are just too horrible!

Could it be that Boss Zheng didn't hold back and actually fractured her bone?

"It's better this time, huh." Zheng Ren said gently.

Under intense pain stimulation, all the facial muscles of the Middle-aged Woman began to twist simultaneously; in less than a Minute, she had returned to normal.

Dahungya was left staring dumbfounded.

What is this?

What's going on!

Chief Zheng's yang energy is just too strong—a single slap sent Fourth Aunt's transformation flying back, right?

Mom, from now on, whenever I see Chief Zheng, I'd better stay as far away as possible. This person wards off all evil; just looking at him makes my whole body feel Uncomfortable.
