"Clang!"
With a muffled thud, louder than a door being kicked off its hinges, the wooden chair splintered into several pieces. Jian Ming, face-planting like a dog, tumbled forward, his head and face slamming into the ground, blood splashing from his nose and mouth like a smashed tomato.
"Ah—"
With a pig-like scream, Jian Ming looked back in horror at Chen Xiao, his crotch instantly soaked. Trembling, he wailed, "Dr. Chen, please calm down... calm down... I... I was wrong..."
"What's the hurry? Even if you want to admit fault, it should be after I've turned you into a eunuch!"
Chen Xiao showed no intention of stopping. As he spoke, he delivered a flying kick that sent Jian Ming rolling on the floor. Then, he raised the sharp half of a table leg he was holding and fiercely thrust it towards Jian Ming's wet crotch.
Jian Ming, as if already seeing his crotch mangled and bloody, his eyes wide with terror, let out an even more piercing scream: "Mom—"
"Ah! Chen Xiao! Stop!"
At the same time, with an even sharper shriek, Bai Su suddenly lunged forward and tightly embraced Chen Xiao from behind, anxiously pleading, "Calm down! You must calm down! Although I also really want to see this guy become a eunuch, we must consider the consequences! Your mother only has you, her only son, sob..."
As soon as she finished speaking, overwhelmed by shock and worry, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Yet, even so, her arms around Chen Xiao didn't loosen at all.
"Aunt Bai..."
Chen Xiao felt Bai Su trembling violently, knowing she was terrified by him. He immediately felt a pang of heartache and hastily released the sharp table leg: "Stop crying, I'll listen to you, okay?"
"As long as... as long as you listen, I... I won't cry, sob... sob sob..."
Bai Su tried her best to control her emotions, but she couldn't stop crying. In fact, she cried even harder, tears falling onto Chen Xiao's back like beads from a broken string. She held him tighter, and while crying, she pulled him away from Jian Ming with all her might, like an ant trying to move an elephant, completely disregarding the distortion of her chest. Clearly, she was worried Chen Xiao might attack Jian Ming again at any moment.
Chen Xiao felt his back becoming wet, soft, and warm. Feeling extremely awkward, he simply turned and sat down on the nearby sofa.
Bai Su's crying finally subsided slightly, but she remained uneasy. Without a second thought, she followed him, spread her arms to block him, then turned and glared furiously at Jian Ming, who was still lying on the ground and groaning, roaring in exasperation, "Are you planning to lie here and wait for death? Get out!"
Jian Ming recalled the terrifying moment Chen Xiao raised the table leg to stab his crotch and truly wished he could crawl away and escape. However, seeing Bai Su's concern for Chen Xiao, he felt both jealous and angry. He quickly suppressed his fear, lying on the ground and sneering like a stubborn pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, "Heh, I'd love to roll away, but Dr. Chen just broke at least two of my ribs. Plus, my stomach still hurts from his previous kicks. It's hard to even get up, let alone roll. Why don't you help me up, like you just hugged him from behind?"
"Hmm?"
Chen Xiao's gaze turned icy. The surging anger, which had been slightly suppressed by Bai Su, rushed back to his head, "You're trying to play the same trick again and extort me..."
Before Chen Xiao could finish speaking, Bai Su, worried he would resort to violence again, grabbed his arm. With her other hand, she covered his mouth and said to Jian Ming with a frosty expression, "I admit I want to resolve this peacefully, and I can even overlook your beastly behavior just now. But even a rabbit bites when cornered. If you push me further, don't blame me for risking my life with you..."
Just then, accompanied by seven or eight black-suited bodyguards, a man in his fifties burst into the office with a murderous aura. It was Jian Ming's father, Vice President Jian Xiaojun, coming to the rescue.
"Dad—"
Jian Ming, lying on the ground like a dead dog, suddenly felt like he had grasped a lifeline and wailed loudly, "Help me, Dad! Center Hospital's director, Bai Su, is openly favoring her lover, Chen Xiao, and is beating me to death, sob..."
Amidst Jian Ming's wails, the bodyguards accompanying Jian Xiaojun quickly split into two to help him up. The others swarmed forward, surrounding Chen Xiao and Bai Su.
Jian Xiaojun, who always cared about his reputation, was furious to see his son covered in injuries and blood. He pointed at Bai Su and accused her fiercely, "Director Bai, as the saying goes, you must consider the owner when beating a dog. Did you not consider my feelings before letting someone beat my son..."
Before he could finish, Jian Xiaojun's eyes widened in shock. He clearly saw Chen Xiao, who had been sitting obediently on the sofa just a moment ago, with Bai Su even holding his arm, suddenly deliver a flying kick that knocked over two bodyguards blocking his path. Then, with murderous intent, he bent down, picked up the sharp table leg from the ground, and fiercely thrust it into the crotch of Jian Ming, who was being helped up.
With one successful strike, Chen Xiao's rage was still burning. With his other hand, he delivered a slap that sent Jian Ming rolling back to the ground from the grasp of the two bodyguards. He said as if no one else was present, "I already said before, even if you wanted to admit fault, it should be after I've turned you into a eunuch! Do you think I stopped under Director Bai's persuasion because I was afraid of the consequences of crippling you, you idiot? I just couldn't bear to scare Director Bai! But since you're ungrateful and want to play the victim as soon as you get a chance, if I don't cripple you in front of your father, won't I seem too weak and easily bullied?"
"..."
The pain of his fifth leg being completely destroyed instantly rendered Jian Ming speechless. His pupils contracted, his eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Xiao as if he had seen a ghost, utterly terrified and heart-pounding.
"..."
Bai Su also lost the ability to speak. She stood by the sofa, still in the posture of holding Chen Xiao's arm. She was completely numb from head to toe, her expression filled with undisguised horror.
Jian Xiaojun and the other bodyguards present were also stunned. Even witnessing it firsthand, they couldn't believe that the seemingly thin and weak Chen Xiao had so easily crippled Jian Ming's manhood in front of them.
In an instant, the crowded director's office fell into a deathly silence. Even the wall clock seemed to have stopped ticking.
"Mom—Mom—"
After about ten seconds, Jian Ming finally managed to catch his breath and let out a heart-wrenching scream, "Ah... Dad, Chen Xiao has completely ruined me down there. What are you waiting for? Hurry and kill him to avenge me, ah..."
However, amidst Jian Ming's cries, the bodyguards present not only didn't attack Chen Xiao but instead became extremely tense, surrounding Jian Xiaojun nervously. After all, the bizarre combat power Chen Xiao displayed by easily injuring Jian Ming in front of them was too outrageous. They were very worried that Chen Xiao might not spare Jian Xiaojun next.
However, Jian Xiaojun, who knew nothing about martial arts, clearly didn't realize Chen Xiao's terrifying strength. He jumped around frantically and cursed, "A bunch of useless fools! Why are you all surrounding me? Attack together, quickly cripple this bastard who seriously injured my son! Put all your strength into it. Even if there's a death, I'll take full responsibility!"
