People suddenly appeared at Deyo’s house, indicating that Deyo was likely coming, and hence the Organization of Water’s operative team must be on high alert and ready for action at any moment.
Yang Yi had already prepared various emergency plans, so he didn’t need to issue any last-minute commands; a word from him would suffice for everyone to know what to do. However, the issue was that Deyo unexpectedly emerged right at this crucial juncture, only proving that Deyo was a real troublemaker.
Yang Yi couldn’t afford to feel relieved. After calling Xiao Ran, he immediately called Brian and, once Brian answered, spoke in a stern voice, "Someone has come to my neighbor’s house."
"I have already seen it. The first to spot it on the surveillance was Black Lightning."
The groundwork laid beforehand ensured there would be no panic when the actual situation arose; thus, Yang Yi could still attend to his own affairs.
What affairs? Seeing the doctor, of course.
Yang Yi went straight to Zhang Yong and the others.
When Yang Yi entered, Zhang Yong looked surprised and said, "Why are you here personally? We have already received the news; you didn’t need to make this trip."
Yang Yi glanced around the room, and Woody was also there.
With Woody present, it wasn’t easy to speak directly.
"I came to check if you are all prepared. How is it, can you strike at any moment?"
Zhang Yong, puzzled, said, "Isn’t that obvious? Of course, we can strike any time. If we couldn’t even manage that, wouldn’t I be just loafing around?"
Yang Yi chuckled dryly, then, in a serious tone, said, "Right, Brian and his team will handle Steve; your duty is to eliminate all threats to us. During the operation, ensure you can take Steve away no matter what."
Zhang Yong frowned, then said in confusion, "We have gone over this many times, and we have rehearsed it just as many. Did you specifically come here to repeat these points? No, tell me, what is really going on?"
Deyo hadn’t yet arrived, and the current situation was tense but only warranted heightened alertness, so Zhang Yong’s suspicion was justified.
Yang Yi thought it best not to hide anymore. It was better to be straightforward. He then turned to Woody and said, "Doctor, come with me for a moment; I have something to discuss with you."
At this moment, Zhang Yong’s curiosity became too much, and he loudly asked, "What do you need him for? Is there something wrong?"
"Uh, I have some questions to ask him."
Although puzzled, Zhang Yong didn’t press further. Yang Yi followed Woody to his room, where Woody, slightly nervous, said, "Boss, what do you need?"
This was a tough explanation for Yang Yi, he felt embarrassed to speak the truth, and clearly, he had no time to go to the hospital now. So hesitantly, Yang Yi finally murmured, "I’ve been injured."
Woody startled, then seriously said, "Where! Let me examine it."
"Um, the part where I’m injured is a bit... private, you understand?"
Woody furrowed his brow and said, "A private area? No, that’s alright, I’m a doctor, and there’s no so-called private area for me. Let me examine it first."
Yang Yi was almost frantic and in a low voice said, "No, no, no, just tell me, I took a kick there, it hurt a lot initially, but it doesn’t hurt anymore. Could there be any complications?"
After checking the spot Yang Yi indicated, Woody immediately understood and said, "I see, the injury to this area... the consequences could be very serious, or it might just hurt for a while and then be fine. It all depends on the severity of the impact."
"What’s the worst outcome?"
"Hmm, shattered testicles, eunuch."
"It can’t be that severe, right?"
"Since you’re still standing here, it can’t be that serious."
"But these past two days... um, occasionally... it hurts a bit."
"Boss, I can’t make an accurate judgment if you only describe it like that."
Seeing the conflicted look on Yang Yi’s face, Woody sighed and said, "You’re injured, boss. The wisest choice is to see a doctor."
Yang Yi finally made up his mind and then whispered, "Keep this confidential for me, if you let it out..."
Woody shrugged and said, "I promise not to tell. Please trust my professional ethics as a doctor; keeping patient confidentiality is the least of my professional obligations."
Yang Yi took a deep breath, then turned away. When he turned back, he looked elsewhere and stammered, "Take a look."
Woody glanced and said with surprise, "I must say, you’ve got quite the assets!"
As he spoke, Woody took a pair of rubber gloves from his medical bag, put them on, and gave them a firm tug until the gloves snapped. Woody then approached Yang Yi and was about to reach out.
Yang Yi quickly stepped back, his face filled with panic, "What are you doing?"
Woody was taken aback and then raised his hands, "I’ve put on gloves."
"That still won’t do!"
"Uh, okay, you move it yourself, Let me have a look."
Yang Yi felt it was a terrible decision to consult Woody, but now that it had come to this, there was no other option but to see it through; he couldn’t have dropped his pants for nothing.
Woody didn’t lay hands on him; instead, he directed Yang Yi to maneuver himself. After carefully observing, Woody straightened up and took a deep breath,
"There’s some swelling, some medicine should clear it up fast. You should be glad you came to see me; otherwise, you would have been in pain for at least another week. I’m thinking, it’s still this swollen after two days, it must have been... quite painful at the time, right?"
Yang Yi clenched his teeth and said, "It was unbearable! So, I’m alright? It won’t affect my future... you know?"
Woody shook his head, "It won’t affect you at all, boss. You’re very lucky."
"That kick first landed on your leg, right?"
"Of course, that was a deliberate choice I made, to disable my opponent as quickly as possible. I had to take a hit, but I still managed to twist my body to avoid taking it straight on."
Woody nodded, "That’s where your luck came in. If the kick had landed properly... well, you wouldn’t need to worry about girlfriends then."
Yang Yi felt a chill run down his spine; the choice he made to save his life now seemed too risky.
Shrugging, Woody said with a relaxed face, "But you’re fine now, no need to worry. Just apply some anti-swelling ointment and you’ll be good. I’ll get it for you."
Woody went to get the medicine. Yang Yi thought for a bit, then he stepped out first and then addressed Zhang Yong, "Brother Yong, I need to ask you something."
"...Can you dodge it?"
Yang Yi was ambiguous, and Zhang Yong looked puzzled, "What did you say?"
By then, Yang Yi had already approached Zhang Yong; he suddenly lashed out with a kick towards Zhang Yong’s groin, shouting, "Just !"
