Chapter 8: Is ten million not enough?

~7 min read 1,246 words

"Good, I'll go right now!"

Lin Xiao responded and ran to the trash can to start searching.

On the other side, Jiangcheng Hospital, Xu Tian was carrying chicken soup he had been simmering all morning, and had just arrived at the hospital entrance when he received a call from Zhang Zizhen.

"Yes, Jiangcheng Hospital, that's right."

"Mm-hmm, then I'll trouble Elder Zhang to make a trip personally."

"..."

Hanging up the phone, Xu Tian let out a long breath; the stone that had been blocking his chest had finally landed.

With Zhang Zizhen personally taking action, Tang Bingyan's injuries should be no problem.

Xu Tian had just arrived at the corridor outside Tang Bingyan's ward when he saw Chen Xiaoxiao and bodyguard A Wei begging Lin Tong to perform surgery on Tang Bingyan as soon as possible.

Soon, Chen Xiaoxiao noticed Xu Tian walking over.

She immediately frowned: "Xu Tian, didn't you say you were going to invite a divine doctor back?"

"I've already invited one, they are on their way," Xu Tian said indifferently.

Chen Xiaoxiao sneered disdainfully, not wanting to waste any more breath on Xu Tian: "Xu Tian, you don't need to act anymore! Isn't it just money you want?"

"A Wei, give him the money!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

As Chen Xiaoxiao's voice fell, A Wei signaled, and four bodyguards opened the boxes in their hands in unison.

Instantly, stacks of bright red banknotes were exposed in front of Xu Tian.

"Xu Tian, as long as Lin Doctor performs surgery on Tang Zong, Tang Zong will recover soon. As long as you agree to the surgery immediately, all this money will be yours!"

Xu Tian swept a glance at the boxes of banknotes indifferently, his gaze not flickering in the slightest: "I don't want money."

"Don't want money?"

"Is ten million not enough?"

"Heh, your appetite has grown, right? Fine, fine, fine, here is a US dollar check, fill in however much money you want!"

Saying this, Chen Xiaoxiao took a check out of her bag and slapped it heavily in front of Xu Tian with a 'slap': "Is this enough?"

If it were normal times, Chen Xiaoxiao wouldn't give Xu Tian a single cent.

But now, she had no other choice.

Tang Bingyan had already fainted; unless a relative of Tang Bingyan signed, no one dared to perform surgery on Tang Bingyan.

And Tang Bingyan's relatives were all in the Imperial Capital. Now, the only one who could sign as a relative was Xu Tian!

Xu Tian frowned, not even glancing at the check.

He didn't want to say anything to Chen Xiaoxiao now, and walked straight past her toward the VIP ward.

"Xu Tian!!! What else do you want?"

"The only person who can save Tang Zong is Lin Doctor!"

"Tang Zong has already fainted, if surgery isn't performed soon, she won't be able to hold on!"

"Xu Tian, a hundred days of grace for a day of marriage, has your conscience really been eaten by dogs!!!"

Chen Xiaoxiao's angry and anxious voice made Xu Tian's heart sink.

Bingyan fainted?

He didn't have time to think more and ran toward Tang Bingyan's ward for the first time.

"Sir, the patient is in a dangerous condition, you cannot enter now!"

The nurse at the door stopped Xu Tian.

Xu Tian looked through the inspection glass on the door and saw Tang Bingyan lying on the bed, pale, extremely weak, and even on a ventilator.

Even if Xu Tian didn't understand medicine, he could see how bad Tang Bingyan's state was.

"Xu Tian, you see it now, right?"

"If it weren't for you stopping Lin Doctor from performing surgery on Tang Zong, how could Tang Zong have become like this?"

"Now, sign the agreement!"

Saying this, Chen Xiaoxiao tried to shove the surgery agreement into Xu Tian's hand.

"Get lost!"

Chen Xiaoxiao was startled by the icy aura Xu Tian instantly emitted, and subconsciously shut her mouth.

Xu Tian didn't pay attention to Chen Xiaoxiao and walked to the side, simultaneously dialing Zhang Zizhen's number.

Not far away, Lin Tong looked at Xu Tian walking toward him, a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Tian spoke so confidently yesterday about finding some divine doctor, making him lose face in front of so many people.

Now what?

Didn't find the divine doctor, and still have to come over and beg him?

However, wanting him to perform surgery now wouldn't be so easy.

This time, he would definitely make Xu Tian kneel and beg him!

Thinking of this, the smile on Lin Tong's face faded, and he glanced coldly at Xu Tian who was walking over: "Xu Tian, only I can save Tang Zong now, but wanting me to take action now won't be so easy."

Xu Tian paused his steps upon hearing this.

Then, he glanced at Lin Tong like he was looking at an idiot, and walked past him directly.

Lin Tong stood there, stunned, as Xu Tian brushed past him.

What's going on?

Isn't Xu Tian here to beg him?

Lin Tong looked at Xu Tian's back, feeling as if the look Xu Tian gave him just now was an invisible slap, striking him hard in the face.

His eyes stared fixedly at Xu Tian, almost word for word:

"Are you truly wishing for Tang Bingyan to die? In all of Jiangcheng, there is no orthopedic expert with higher medical skills than me. Given Tang Bingyan's current state, she can at least hold on until the twenty-four hours you agreed upon. Once I cure her, I want to see if she still protects you, this piece of trash who wants her dead!"

Not long after, Zhang Zizhen, wearing a washed-out Tang suit, hurried to the hospital with Lin Xiao.

Xu Tian immediately greeted them quickly: "Elder Zhang!"

"Where is the patient?"

Zhang Zizhen didn't have any nonsense and went straight to the point.

"Follow me." Xu Tian led Zhang Zizhen quickly toward Tang Bingyan's ward.

In the corridor, Chen Xiaoxiao frowned upon seeing Zhang Zizhen's attire and asked: "Lin Doctor, do you know him?"

"No."

Lin Tong shook his head slowly, a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth: "Assistant Chen, I have some reputation in Jiangcheng. I don't know every expert in Huaxia, but I know all the experts in the city and province. I haven't even seen this person before."

"I've heard there are quite a few swindlers everywhere now, you all must be careful, being cheated of money is secondary, but if a life is lost, it's a big deal!"

Chen Xiaoxiao's face turned cold upon hearing this.

She had seen many brilliant experts, but Zhang Zizhen, whether in attire or appearance, didn't match the words 'divine doctor' at all.

Could such a person save Tang Zong?

She would only believe it if she were stupid!

Chen Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, saying that she absolutely couldn't let Xu Tian mess around anymore!

"Xu Tian, Tang Zong gambled her life because she believed you could find a doctor! But what have you done? You abandoned the Lin Tong doctor who could cure Tang Zong and pulled a barefoot doctor who calls himself a divine doctor from the roadside to treat Tang Zong? Are you wishing for Tang Zong to die sooner?!"

Before Xu Tian could speak, the somewhat irritable Lin Xiao couldn't hold back: "Who are you calling a barefoot doctor?" ===== CHAPTER 9 =====
