have some faith in his abilities deep down inside."That's right," Xia Tian said unhappily. "Do you think I'm just aimlessly looking for something to do by coming to see you If not for a certain reaso...Chapter 1033: Borrow Four Pieces, Repay Forty Thousand
Lu Hui was momentarily dumbfounded and speechless. Could it be that this man, who was colder than an ice pop, wasn’t actually harmed at all And from what he said, he had just been sleeping
The emergency doctor was also stunned. What’s going on here He had thought that there was no chance of saving this person.
"Hey, what time is it" The young man asked again.
“It’s seven thirty,” Lu Hui finally responded and quickly added, “Since you’re okay, I’ll go now. I have to rush to work!”
“Seven thirty It’s about time for me to head back too. My miserly wife might be waiting impatiently.” This young man was actually Xia Tian. He had spent several hours absorbing the yin fire and finally managed to do it, but this time he almost completely exhausted his ice fire spirit energy, leaving him unable to use it to restore himself internally for a while. So he simply lay there and took a nap.
Lu Hui touched the side of Xia Tian’s body that still had yin fire remaining, thinking he was frozen stiff, but in reality, after his nap, Xia Tian's ice fire spirit energy had mostly recovered, as had his physical strength.
"Wait a moment! You two can’t leave just yet!" Seeing Xia Tian and Lu Hui trying to leave, the doctor hurriedly shouted. The ambulance driver also came down to block their way and asked, "Who’s going to pay"
Hearing this, Lu Hui was taken aback: “What payment”
"Was it you who called for the ambulance" The driver looked at Lu Hui and said, "We charge at least two hundred yuan per trip. You guys need to decide who's going to pay."
"Hey, I didn't ride in your vehicle; why should I pay" Xia Tian glared at the driver不滿地瞪著這個司機。
Lu Hui was also confused: "Do ambulances really charge money"
"Bro, I know about this. In many places, you have to pay for an ambulance ride. I saw it online before. But everywhere else seems to cost only 120 yuan per trip, here they're charging 200! That's too much!" The attendant who offered to vouch for Lu Hui earlier added a comment.
"In other places houses are worth 12k yuan each; ours cost twice that. So it stands to reason the ambulance fees would be higher." The driver of the ambulance was getting impatient, "Anyway, whoever you are, one of you needs to pay up quickly. I'm very busy."
"Even if they do charge money, shouldn't it not be me who made the call Can a good Samaritan who calls for help on the street have to pay" Although Lu Hui could easily afford these 200 yuan, he felt wronged. Being a good person had actually landed him in trouble.
"Why did you bother calling 120 then" The driver cast an unpleasant glance at Lu Hui and said, "Our vehicle goes out every time there’s a call. We always bring back patients who will pay us. Since there's no patient now, it follows that the person making the call should be responsible for payment. Alternatively, you could make him pay."
The driver pointed at Xia Tian and others were also looking at Xia Tian; in their opinion, this expense shouldn't come out of Lu Hui’s pocket.
"You guys interrupted my sleep and I haven’t even settled accounts with you yet. Now you’re coming to ask for money Do you deserve a beating" Xia Tian glared at the driver and said irritably.
"Give him the money if you want to, I just need to find him." However, the driver had no interest in arguing with Xia Tian and instead turned to Lu Hui, saying, "Hurry up and pay. Since you made the call, you have to pay too. Consider yourself unlucky."
Lu Hui was extremely unhappy but merely glanced at the time; several more minutes passed, and he could no longer afford to wait any longer or else he would be late.
"Forget it, I'll give him the money." Lu Hui took out his wallet and decided to consider himself unlucky while silently vowing never to do such a good deed again in the future.
"Hey, are you an idiot Why are you giving him money" Xia Tian shot Lu Hui a glare before turning to the ambulance driver, "Didn't you say that each time you come out with the car, you take back a patient"
"That's right, it’s our rule." The ambulance driver replied.
"Excellent! You want money Then I'll give you a patient!" Xia Tian said this as he punched the driver straight in the face.
The driver let out a pained groan and fell backward onto the ground, hitting his head with a thud and falling unconscious.
"What are you doing" The doctor was shocked before shouting angrily.
"Hey, isn't this what you wanted A patient is here for you now. Quickly take him back and let him pay you." Xia Tian pointed at the fallen driver on the ground, "Is one patient not enough If it’s not, I'll make you a patient too."
"Y-you... I called the police!" The doctor was extremely angry and picked up his phone to make a call, but just as he did so, a fist came flying towards him. Thus, like the ambulance driver before him, he fell to the ground. Unfortunately for him, he didn't lose consciousness. Summer saw this and proceeded to kick him relentlessly until he finally passed out.
The crowd at the bus stop was left staring in shock. Who on earth is this person Isn't he too violent
Despite the violence, these people felt strangely gratified. There wasn’t much they could do about it; after all, doctors had a notoriously bad reputation these days, and the ambulance driver's insistence on charging for his services infuriated everyone present. Now that these two were being punished, it was incredibly satisfying.
"No one’s trying to take money from me now," Summer said quite contentedly before turning around to leave. However, after just a couple of steps, he stopped and turned back to look at Lu Hui. "Hey, do you know which bus route I should take to get to the Xiangxue Lake Villa District"
"Uh, Route 401 can get you there," Lu Hui replied after a moment's hesitation.
"Oh, how much does that cost" Summer asked again.
"It should be four yuan," Lu Hui responded after some thought.
"Then lend me four yuan. I’ll pay you back forty thousand in a few days." After checking his pockets and finding he had no money on him, Summer could do nothing but ask for a loan.
Lend four yuan to repay with forty thousand
The people around looked at Xia Tian with strange eyes, thinking him to be a madman and a violent criminal, as well as a liar. They considered him a madman because he was lying down sleeping at the bus stop in such cold weather, and they saw him as a violent criminal due to his earlier act of violence. As for borrowing four bucks and talking about repaying with forty thousand, unless he’s a liar, who would say such words
"No problem, I’ll give you ten bucks, no need to return it." Lu Hui didn’t think Xia Tian was a liar, although he did find the man strange. He took out ten yuan and passed it to Xia Tian before noticing that the bus he was waiting for was about to arrive again. So he turned around to leave.
"Hey, don’t rush off yet. Write your phone number here, I’ll return you a hundred thousand. I never take advantage of men," Xia Tian stopped Lu Hui with one hand.
Lu Hui couldn’t help but give him his business card and hurriedly squeezed onto the bus while praying in his heart that he wouldn’t be late!
Xiangxue Lake Villa District
It was already eight o’clock in the morning, yet Ning Jie still hadn't slept. Although she felt a bit tired, she had promised herself to wait for Xia Tian’s return. As long as he didn’t come back, she wouldn’t go to sleep. In fact, she couldn’t fall asleep peacefully because she kept feeling that the girl who suddenly appeared last night, and what the girl called "miss," might have some ulterior motives regarding Xia Tian.
At this moment, Ning Jie was starting to regret not following Xia Tian when he left yesterday. He still hadn't returned, and it worried her if anything had happened to him.
However, Ning Jie firmly believed that Xia Tian was safe; not only because she knew that he now possessed great power, but also because she felt that if he could survive under Song Yumei’s powerful control, then even facing other powerful figures would definitely not endanger his life.
Still, even though she thought Xia Tian wouldn't be in any trouble, Ning Jie couldn’t help worrying. In adversity true feelings are revealed; Ning Jie felt that herself and Xia Tian were like a pair of partners in adversity now, although they actually lived quite well or rather very well indeed, only needing to hide their whereabouts.
Ning Jie walked back and forth in the living room. It was already morning, but Xia Tian hadn’t returned yet. She couldn’t help feeling like she should go out to look for him, but where exactly should she go
Just as Ning Jie was worried and anxious, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Ning Jie immediately felt relieved and rushed to open the door. When she opened it, however, her joy vanished instantly, replaced by disappointment because the person standing at the door wasn’t Xia Tian but a young woman who seemed somewhat familiar.
"Hello, may I ask if you are Miss Ning" The young woman asked politely upon seeing Ning Jie.
"I’m Ning Jie. Who are you..." Ning Jie couldn’t immediately recall who this woman was, but she felt like she had seen her before somewhere.
"Hello, Miss Ning, my name is Gan Min. My husband is Ren Xiaofeng. I want to ask if your husband, that is, Doctor Song, is at home" The young woman introduced herself and explained why she was there. "I wanted to thank him in person for saving me."
"Oh, it’s you," Ning Jie finally remembered who this woman was. At the hospital, all she had done was glance at Gan Min, and since Gan Min looked different back then compared to now, she hadn’t recognized her right away. But after Gan Min mentioned Ren Xiaofeng, Ning Jie could remember.
After a brief pause, Ning Jie added: "My husband isn't home. You don't need to be so formal; he only treated you because your husband paid him."
"Miss Ning, please don’t say that. My husband spent a lot of money trying to treat me, but no one could bring me back to consciousness until Doctor Song did. If it weren’t for his superb medical skills, I would still be in a vegetative state. Both my husband and I are very grateful to Doctor Song. Originally, Xiaofeng planned to come with me to express our gratitude in person, but he had an emergency and left just now, so I came alone," Gan Min looked sincere as she spoke, clearly intending to thank Doctor Song wholeheartedly, which was understandable; no one wanted to remain in a vegetative state indefinitely. in her at all; if anything, his interest appeared to be even greater."By the way, I want to stay here for a few more days. Little Dong is very dependent on me, and I want her to get used to my absenc...
