"Ah—"
Liu Zihao watched with wide eyes as the sharp scalpel instantly plunged into his abdomen. He let out a sudden cry, then collapsed to the ground, blood gushing out. His crotch instantly became soaked, and he wailed hoarsely:
"Help... help... help me..."
The nurses who had been laughing moments before were now completely stunned. They screamed and scrambled away, while the doctors who had beaten Chen Xiao also retreated, their faces filled with terror.
Flicking the blood-stained scalpel in his hand, Chen Xiao menacingly bent down, snatched the silver needle box from Liu Zihao's grasp, and then glared at the doctors with bloodshot eyes:
"Still not leaving? Do you want a taste of being stabbed too?"
"Chen... Chen Xiao, you... you actually dared to injure someone with a knife, you're asking for death. Just wait... wait to rot in prison!"
Trembling as he uttered the threat, they quickly helped Liu Zihao and fled in a panicked rush.
"Hmph!"
Chen Xiao slammed the door shut forcefully. Without considering the consequences of stabbing Liu Zihao, he hurriedly used the Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Zhen to save Chen Qing's life.
In the corridor outside the door, Liu Zihao, being supported, saw Gou Shunquan emerging from the elevator. He quickly clutched his stomach and wailed:
"Director Gou, Chen Xiao not only trespassed into the emergency room but also publicly tried to kill me with a knife..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Song Yan, with her voluptuous figure and gentle, intellectual demeanor, stepping out of the elevator right behind Gou Shunquan. Gou Shunquan was bowing and scraping, greeting her deferentially at the doorway. Liu Zihao's heart skipped a beat.
Startled by Liu Zihao's blood-covered appearance, Gou Shunquan, short and stout like a spinning top, rushed forward and bellowed menacingly:
"Where is that guy Chen now? Did he run? He actually tried to kill someone with a knife. Even if he flees to the ends of the earth, he can't escape the law!"
Despite his anger, he, who was adept at bullying the weak and fearing the strong, dared not ignore Song Yan's presence. After a pause, he said with feigned distress:
"Miss Song, although Chen happened to save Old Master Song, he is an extremely dangerous murderer. He could harm Old Master Song at any moment. You absolutely cannot let him continue as the attending physician."
Completely ignoring Gou Shunquan, Song Yan's cold eyes fixed on Liu Zihao:
"You seem to be Aunt Chen's attending physician, right? For no reason, why would Dr. Chen try to stab you?"
Liu Zihao clearly froze for a moment, then, grinding his teeth, he slandered Chen Xiao:
"I was doing my best to save his mother. He suddenly burst in and stopped me, saying it would be better if his mother died, so he could inherit the property of Jishi Tang. But as a doctor, I naturally couldn't just let her die..."
Gou Shunquan's mind was solely focused on bringing Chen Xiao to justice. Before Liu Zihao could finish speaking, he eagerly interjected:
"Miss Song, shouldn't we call the police first? Otherwise, that guy Chen might escape."
Liu Zihao pointed furiously at the closed emergency room door:
"That guy Chen is in there. He can't run!"
"Really?"
Gou Shunquan was both surprised and delighted. He quickly took out his phone:
"I'll call right now..."
Her gaze grew colder, and Song Yan interrupted Gou Shunquan unceremoniously:
"Director Gou, I absolutely refuse to believe that Dr. Chen would neglect his own mother for the sake of property! If you insist on calling the police, not only will I personally bail him out, but my legal team will also see this through to the end!"
"..."
Gou Shunquan was struck dumb, suddenly bewildered.
Liu Zihao, however, became enraged, roaring in disbelief:
"Song Yan, why are you always helping that bastard Chen? Do you have something going on with him?"
Gou Shunquan turned pale with shock and slapped Liu Zihao across the face:
"How dare you! How can you speak to Miss Song like that?"
Fearing that Song Yan might take her anger out on him, Gou Shunquan immediately plastered on a fawning smile:
"Miss Song, please don't be angry. We promise not to call the police."
Song Yan said coldly:
"Enough nonsense. Arrange a VIP luxury ward for Aunt Chen immediately. I will cover all expenses!"
Liu Zihao's emotions had spiraled out of control. He no longer feared offending Song Yan and said with a sinister, chilling laugh:
"Song Yan, you really do have something going on with Chen. You're so eager to flatter Chen Qing! But I'll be blunt, even if you're flattering her, you should at least spend money on a good burial plot!"
Song Yan's heart sank. She asked incredulously:
"Could it be... could it be that Aunt Chen is beyond saving?"
Liu Zihao replied sarcastically:
"Over twenty fractures throughout her body, shattered spine, fatal impact to the heart, severe intracranial hemorrhage, critical brain concussion... If someone like that can still be saved, then no one would die in a hospital..."
