Chapter 2328: 2249 Little Fox Spirit (Part 1)

Keep quiet, this is a hospital. Zheng Ren looked at him calmly and said softly.

The young man roared like a small beast, ignorant and fearless. But when he saw Zheng Ren's gaze, he instinctively sensed some danger.

Although Zheng Ren's voice wasn't loud and his tone was flat, the young man's voice became noticeably softer.

But immediately, he realized he had backed down; shame and anger intertwined in his heart, and he glared at Zheng Ren out of embarrassed anger.

If you're sick, get treatment; if not, go home quickly. Don't cause trouble in the hospital. Zheng Ren said.

I was beaten! the young man said, Do you have any sympathy?

This is when he started to wimp out; Zheng Ren smiled.

I have no money left. The girl walked over and said coldly, You've paid for the anesthetic and the handling fee; you pay for the examination yourself.

You dare talk to me like that? the young man said fiercely, looking at the girl.

Zheng Ren felt somewhat helpless; this guy probably counts as a scumbag.

Back when he was in Hai Cheng, Zheng Ren had seen many people who, after being bullied at work or in society, went home to beat their wives and scold their children.

Such people are common; we're already used to them. The only way to deal with them is to talk back directly, meet force with force, and absolutely not let them act arrogantly.

Otherwise, one time leads to a second, two times to a third, getting more and more excessive until things spiral out of control.

Many tragic domestic abuses arise this way.

After hearing his threat, the girl's face darkened; she lowered her head to look at her toes, not knowing what she was thinking.

If you... don't blame me then. The young man looked at the girl and said arrogantly.

What are you being fierce about? Su Yun turned and said scornfully, You got beaten, then come bully a girl—really impressive!

She's the one who hit me! Why can't I let her treat me? the young man said angrily.

""

Zheng Ren and Su Yun both froze at the same time; originally they had both guessed wrong about the truth.

This girl looks so gentle and quiet, yet she's so fierce.

Su Yun gave a hehe laugh, turned and went to open the duty room's door.

Little fox spirit! the young man snarled.

Who the hell are you talking about! the girl instantly flew into a rage, grabbed a nearby patient's crutch and smashed it toward the young man.

Zheng Ren stared for a moment; things changed too fast, this girl seemed overly violent. She hit without warning, with no threatening or intimidating buildup, and showed no mercy.

However, driven by muscle memory, Zheng Ren sidestepped, raised his hand, and snatched the crutch away.

I've experienced hospital fights before, but this kind of chaotic situation is really rare.

Together with the emergency department doctors, we separated the two to prevent them from fighting again in the ER and ending up with bloody heads.

Zhou Litao also ran out to stop the disturbance.

I just came to see Zhou Litao, never expecting to run into this mess; Zheng Ren felt helpless as well.

Now there are several options; the most common is to pull them apart and let each go their own way, leave the hospital, wait for their anger to cool, and they probably won't fight again.

But the patient's head CT hasn't been done yet; he insists the girl pay the money, even threatening to call the police.

The girl merely lowered her head, looking at her toes, not saying a word.

From a violent, barbaric girlfriend, she turned into a Lolita in just one second.

One stays silent, the other keeps cursing; finally, with no other choice, we let Zhou Litao watch the girl while Zheng Ren and Su Yun take the young man back to the treatment room to ask about the situation.

Buddy, you're not badly hurt; don't make a fuss. Su Yun's attitude shifted a bit after seeing the girl hit his head with the crutch.

I'm making a fuss? You didn't just see her about to hit me!

I saw it—you say a grown man gets his head split open by a girl and still has the nerve to kick up a fuss? What's going on? Tell me, buddy. Su Yun struck a rubbernecking pose and asked.

Having said that, the young man wanted to retort, but his mouth twitched twice and he said nothing, falling silent.

Only under Zheng Ren and Su Yun's relentless questioning did we learn that the two had met a few months earlier at a comic expo.

At the time, the young man went to pick her up; they started chatting, later ate together and went shopping, becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.

All the way up to today when they went to get a room…

It's a perfectly normal progression—how did they turn into enemies?

But afterwards, no matter how we pressed him, the young man wouldn't say a word, wearing a look of grievance.

As time passed, he seemed to calm down; after the anger, he felt a little afraid.

His complexion began to pale, his eyes flickering.

Going on like this, there's no way to resolve it; facing this situation, Zheng Ren and Su Yun were both at a loss.

After a few minutes, the young man felt his pockets, as if looking for something, but couldn't find it. While searching, he said, I want to call the police—where's my phone?

His attitude was very firm, without a hint of hesitation.

No matter how Su Yun questioned him, the young man insisted on waiting for the police before saying anything.

The young man's attitude changed too quickly; even Zheng Ren, an Inpatient Chief of the Emergency Department with rich clinical experience, was somewhat caught off guard.

Seeing him call the police, Zheng Ren could only watch silently as the situation further developed.

Soon, the police arrived.

It's merely a civil dispute; normally the focus is on mediation. Moreover, it's just a young couple squabbling, so the police don't really take it seriously.

They handle too many such cases each day; bringing them all back to the station would probably overflow it.

Seeing the police want to mediate, the young man grew anxious and whispered, Officer, let me tell you—she's a monster!

Don't spout nonsense. The police officer rebuked.

Zheng Ren gave a wry smile—this is all over the place. If it weren't for the system panel showing only a head injury with no diagnosis of mental illness, he'd suspect the young man had watched too many 2D anime.

I'm not lying to you; you're short-staffed on this side and need more people. The young man stuck close to the officer, speaking softly.

There's not really anything else; don't interfere with official duties. For such a minor injury, if we had to go through procedure... After saying that, the police officer glanced at the young man and said, Forget it, come with me to the station.

Originally this was just to scare the young man, a problem that could usually be resolved—who would want to go to the Public Security Bureau? But unexpectedly, after hearing the police say that, the young man kept nodding.

"Good, good." The young man kept nodding.

The police were still very scheming, showing no surprised expression, only their faces darkened a bit.

"What on earth is going on?" Su Yun asked curiously.

"She... really is a fox spirit." The young man said softly.

"What fox spirit, you mean you have a girlfriend and she seduced you?" The police snapped impatiently.

This kind of nonsense is utterly contradictory in cause and effect, a complete mess.

Zheng Ren was a bit doubtful, saying that when a girl is called a fox spirit, it's usually the original spouse accusing the mistress. But having just asked this young man, he and the outside girl are merely boyfriend and girlfriend—where did this fox spirit come from?

"Police comrade, police uncle... please don't disbelieve me, she grew a tail, and seeing it scared me badly."
