Zheng Yucheng rushed over just in time to hear Wu Zhiyuan’s ranting, and a surge of anger rose from his heart.
He charged into the ward and saw Wu Zhiyuan leaning back on the hospital bed, looking flush-faced and full of breath as he cursed, with even his hair neatly slicked back, showing not the slightest sign of illness! From where could one tell that he needed an injury assessment report? There was no hint of it from any angle!
Besides, why would Xiao Chiang even hit him? What did this imply? It clearly meant that he had gone looking for Xiao Chiang again!
And now, he even talked about locking Xiao Chiang up! To be detained in juvenile detention?
"Wu Zhiyuan! What do you mean by this? Just how did Xiao Chiang offend you, that you, an administrative officer, actually want to pick on such a young girl! Aren’t you embarrassed at all?" Zheng Yucheng bellowed.
Upon seeing him, Wu Zhiyuan’s anger grew even more intense. He gave a cold laugh and, looking at Zheng Yucheng, said, "Ha, Old Zheng, that’s quite a funny thing to say. You saw with your own eyes that night Xiao Chiang hit me, right? And she even extorted five hundred yuan from me! You witnessed it all yourself, it happened in your own home. We’ve been friends for so many years, and you don’t stand by me, but actually have the nerve to criticize me?"
"Then why don’t you mention how you barged into our house to snatch Lingzhi?" Zheng Yucheng’s face turned red with anger, "You dare speak of our years of friendship? The Lingzhi was my father-in-law’s lifesaving medicine and without a word, you wanted to take it by force! That Lingzhi was given by Xiao Chiang, what’s wrong if she didn’t want to give it to you?"
"Pah! Just a bit of Lingzhi and it’s called Uncle Xue’s lifesaving medicine? It’s nothing but a nourishing supplement. We thought we were close with your family, so we didn’t need to stand on ceremony, just wanted to get some to nourish my father. Such a small matter, and yet you guard it as if it were your lifeblood! I’ve truly witnessed just how stingy and miserly the Xue Family can be!"
Wu Zhiyuan would never admit in front of so many people that the Lingzhi was indeed very effective.
If he truly admitted it, wouldn’t that confirm that they had intended to take the Lingzhi by force?
Moreover, such things should preferably be kept from widespread knowledge. Lingzhi is scarce and hard to find, and if everyone knew how effective it was and started hunting for it in the deep mountains, what then?
Zheng Yucheng was so angered that he was almost at a loss for words.
He could only say, "I’ve truly seen what shamelessness means! Xiao Chiang is just a young girl; even if she did hit you, what harm could it possibly do to you? Besides, it’s already the night before last’s incident, and you bring it to the hospital now? Do you think everyone is a fool? Where have you taken the Chiang Family? Wu Zhiyuan, I’m telling you, if you really did something to the Chiang Family, don’t think that my father-in-law’s family and I are pushovers!"
"Ouch, I am really scared now!" Wu Zhiyuan sneered, then said to Old Wang and Old Huang, "Officers, just look at this. Look at this, there’s someone here threatening me!"
It was only then that Zheng Yucheng noticed the two officers with their large caps, his heart jumped, and he immediately approached them, "Officers, have you taken the Chiang Family?"
"What do you mean we took them?" Old Wang straightened his face. He wasn’t clear about the specifics of the situation, but he did know that the affair wouldn’t end well. Anyway, they had to see what Steward Wu intended to do.
