Chapter 10: A Loving Father and Dutiful Son, A Special Gift
Linzhou War Department General Hospital.
Jiang Chen took a taxi from Tiange in Lindu and headed straight for the ICU intensive care unit.
Outside the room of Elder Zhao stood a crowd of Zhao family bodyguards. Du Yalan and Feng Junwei tried to get close to curry favor but couldn’t even approach.
They sought out the doctor to inquire about Elder Zhao’s condition. Before Zhao Tingshan and Zhao Linxuan appeared, Jiang Chen arrived instead.
“Jiang Chen? You dare show up at the hospital! I’m telling you, if anything happens to Elder Zhao, you’ll have to die to atone!” Du Yalan swaggered forward, glaring at Jiang Chen with a mocking smile.
“You clueless fool! The head of the Zhao family brought all the bodyguards here. If you don’t want a gruesome death, you’d better kowtow and confess your sins right now!” Feng Junwei sneered, casting a sidelong glance at Jiang Chen.
He guessed that the Zhao family head was furious at the moment. Jiang Chen’s presence was like walking into the lion’s den—he wouldn’t survive!
“You bark so loudly—didn’t the Zhao family take you in as their dogs?” Jiang Chen retorted coldly, striking a nerve.
“What the hell did you say?” Feng Junwei’s smile froze as he snarled in anger.
Smack!
Jiang Chen slapped Feng Junwei, sending him flying and rolling several meters away.
“Husband!” Du Yalan screamed, rushing over.
Jiang Chen must be jealous that Feng Junwei married her; this was blatant retaliation!
“Village chief, you’ve finally arrived! The patient is barely holding on!” Li Xuanming hurried over to greet Jiang Chen and led him to Elder Zhao’s room.
Only after Jiang Chen left did Du Yalan struggle to help Feng Junwei up.
“Damn you! I’ll kill you sooner or later!” Feng Junwei cursed through bloodied lips, clutching his burning face.
“Husband, that bastard went to Elder Zhao’s room. He’s bound to die!” Du Yalan’s eyes turned venomous as she watched Jiang Chen disappear.
“Heh heh heh... I’m waiting for his body to be carried out!” Feng Junwei grinned wickedly, anticipating the outcome.
Inside Elder Zhao’s room.
Upon seeing Li Xuanming bring the so-called village chief doctor, Zhao Tingshan and his daughter Zhao Linxuan immediately greeted him respectfully.
“Why is it you?!” Zhao Linxuan recognized Jiang Chen and was both shocked and angry.
“Miss Zhao, do you know the village chief?” Li Xuanming asked in confusion.
“Doctor Li, he’s a fraud! My grandfather’s condition turned worse because of the needles he stuck in him!” Zhao Linxuan’s hatred was intense; she couldn’t believe even Doctor Li had been deceived by Jiang Chen.
“Linxuan, what’s going on? How could the doctor recommended by Doctor Li be a fraud?” Zhao Tingshan asked, puzzled.
“Dad, this con man pretended to be a doctor and pricked Grandpa with needles just to swindle my money...” Zhao Linxuan then recounted what happened at the park gate to Zhao Tingshan.
After hearing this, Zhao Tingshan hesitated, unsure whether to trust Doctor Li or his daughter.
“Miss Zhao, you’reI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
