Chapter 245: Take Matters into Your Own Hands, How Dare You All
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Little Six was so angry that he directly broke one of his fingers.
In the man’s pig-like howls of pain, Jiang Fuyue’s face remained expressionless, but her eye sockets were nearly red.
“How dare you?!” she gritted her teeth, each word pronounced with emphasis.
That boy who could cook, clean, tidy up, be especially sensible and obedient, who would come running to open the door for her without her having to knock, and who would lean against the door obediently and call her sister, Little Brother Jiang, was the first sticky figure to enter her heart after her rebirth, but he was treated so cruelly in a place she couldn’t see.
Jiang Fuyue clenched her fists, trembling all over.
Suddenly, she grabbed the dagger around Hu Ben’s waist and slashed it directly in front of the man’s eyes.
Blood splattered into his eyes, turning everything a deep red. His screams echoed throughout the ward, reaching the end of the floor.
But because the ward was being cleared, no one paid attention.
Only this time, the one clearing the ward was her, Jiang Fuyue.
Zhang Kehua: “My eyes? Ah—my eyes can’t see anymore?! I’ll kill you!”
He suddenly exerted force, breaking free from Hu Ben’s restraint and reaching out toward Jiang Fuyue.
The next second, there was a dull thud, followed by intense pain.
Jiang Fuyue: “Silence him.”
Hu Ben obeyed.
Little Six took the wrench she handed him without hesitation.
Even he, who prided himself on being accustomed to big scenes, couldn’t help but tremble.
Such fair and tender hands, picking up such a cold and hard wrench, and striking without hesitation…
So Jiang Fuyue had been searching in the trunk for so long, and this was what she found.
Little Six glanced at the man curled up on the ground, convulsing in pain but unable to make a sound. His hands… were probably already useless.
Hu Ben’s eyelids flickered, catching a glimpse of Jiang Fuyue’s beautiful and indifferent profile. It was as if that strike just now didn’t come from her hand.
In an instant, he suddenly understood the difference between himself and Jiang Fuyue.
When someone’s “cruelty” does not manifest in any external form, such as cursing or gnashing teeth, but rather erupts silently and unexpectedly, punishing without a word or sound, it is the most terrifying—controlling life and death, all in the palm of one’s hand!
That’s why Jiang Fuyue could give orders, while he and Little Six could only obey.
This absolute dominance eventually made them submit, admire, and even willingly become oxen and horses, allowing themselves to be driven.
This scene also shocked the others present.
The men in floral shirts shivered, looking at Zhang Kehua, who was in agonizing pain, as if they saw themselves next. They felt fear, panic, and dread… as if drowning in various emotions.
Someone began to beg for mercy: “It was Zhang who wanted to cause trouble. We only came to support him on Yang’s behalf. We never intended to fight!”
Once the stalemate was broken, complete collapse was not far behind.
Sure enough—
“Yes, we were just here as extras. We never meant to oppose you!”
“It’s all Zhang Kehua’s fault, using trivial matters as an excuse to cause trouble!”
“He who digs a pit shall fall into it. If you want revenge, go find Zhang Kehua. Let us go…”
“Please!”
…
At first, it was one or two people, but soon everyone surrendered, and even the timid ones knelt down and started kowtowing.
They were not true “gangsters,” at best they could be considered idle street thugs. They were used to petty theft and occasional fights, but they had never seen such a scene before.
The blood was warm and red.
The punches landed with a thud.
The beatings were bone-breaking.
The girl was like a demon from h*ll, accompanied by two men with a fierce demeanor, and those men in suits were obviously well-trained and not to be trifled with.
How could such a group of people be provoked by them, small fries like them?
Zhang Kehua, that fool, not only didn’t value his own life but also dragged them down. It was despicable!
“Brother, I didn’t do anything. I’ve been standing still since I came in, really…” A man in a floral shirt crawled to Hu Ben’s feet. He originally wanted to confront Jiang Fuyue, but when he saw the girl’s demonic face, he didn’t even have the courage to look her in the eye, let alone reach out to touch her.
Hu Ben looked down at him from above, without saying a word.
But it was this seemingly acquiescent attitude that gave hope to the others, who then approached one after another—
“I was just standing there too.”
“Me too.”
“I went to find a doctor for Zhang Kehua. I had no idea what was happening in the ward!”
…
In the end, only three people didn’t come forward to beg for mercy.
One was pulling Little Brother Jiang off the bed, and the other two were holding onto Jiang Da, allowing Zhang Kehua to humiliate them as he pleased.
The three of them stood still, not saying a word.
Little did they know, the more they acted this way, the more conspicuous they became.
Jiang Fuyue cast a cold glance at them. Hu Ben and Little Six went up to them, each grabbing one arm and pressing them to the ground.
“You want to take Jiang Chenxing away?” The girl looked at the first man in the floral shirt.
She was clearly smiling, but her eyes were full of ice.
“I…” The man’s teeth chattered, his lips trembled, “It was Zhang Kehua who told me to do it.”
Slap—
Little Six delivered a slap, sending the man in the floral shirt reeling, his face numb.
“He tells you to do it, so you do it? Where’s your brain?!”
The man in the floral shirt kept his head down, saying nothing.
Slap—
Another slap followed.
Little Six: “The child is still sick, can’t you see that?”
“It was Zhang Kehua…”
“If you can’t see it, then those eyes are useless.”
The man in the floral shirt shuddered, imagining Zhang Kehua with blood streaming from his eyes.
He was scared: “I didn’t know… I really didn’t know… Please let me go, don’t gouge out my eyes…”
Little Six sneered: “Didn’t know what? That the Jiang family has backing? Or that we are not to be messed with?”
“I didn’t know, if I had known earlier, I definitely wouldn’t have…”
“So, if the Jiang family didn’t have backing, and no one stood up for them today, you would just bully them at will?”
“No… I didn’t mean that…”
Little Six kicked him over.
Jiang Fuyue glanced indifferently at the remaining two men. Hu Ben stepped forward, and with Little Six, they each twisted an arm behind their backs and pressed them to the ground.
“We were forced, Brother Yang ordered us to support Zhang, that’s why we acted!”
Jiang Fuyue looked at them for just two seconds before losing interest and turning away.
Hu Ben waved, signaling the men in black to drag this bunch of cowards out of sight.
As for how to deal with them…
Liu Jinzhong was still waiting outside; that old man wasn’t soft-hearted.
“Sister Yue, what about Zhang Kehua…” Hu Ben glanced at the bloodstains on the ground, his eyes full of disdain. This kind of person who would even harm a child wasn’t worth any sympathy, even if he died.
Jiang Fuyue: “Hand him over to Uncle Liu. Keep an eye on him, there’s still an account to settle.”
Hu Ben thought of the “Brother Yang” mentioned by these people and clicked his tongue. Another unlucky guy, it seemed.
Soon, the ward was left with only Jiang Fuyue, Hu Ben, Little Six, Jiang Da and his wife, the unconscious Little Brother Jiang, and the trembling doctor preparing to reinsert the IV needle for Little Brother Jiang.
Hu Ben: “Get it wrong, and you’ll never do it again.”
Recalling the gang-like behavior of this group and the still-wet bloodstains on the ground, the male doctor had no doubt about the truth of these words.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his surging fear, and carefully inserted the needle.
Soon, the IV bottle was hung up again.
After the doctor finished everything, he stood awkwardly: “Can I go now?”
Hu Ben sneered, “I heard you’re the one who had all the medical staff on this floor withdrawn?”
The doctor trembled, his eyes evasive, “No…”
In the next second, under Hu Ben’s cold and determined gaze, he couldn’t utter another word of denial.
“I’m sorry, I… I received a call from the director and followed his instructions…”
“Judging by how smoothly you handled this, you must have done it many times before, right?”
The doctor hung his head even lower.
“Turning a place meant to save lives into a battlefield. You bunch of charlatans from the Putian system, using the guise of a legitimate hospital to do countless wicked deeds for profit, you probably can’t even keep track of them all!”
Before they came, Niu Rui had already thoroughly investigated the shady history of this hospital.
Hu Ben didn’t expect that a seemingly legitimate hospital would be hiding so much corruption. It was eye-opening.
Jiang Fuyue: “Give him the phone.”
Doctor: “?”
Hu Ben: “Since you can receive a call from the director, you must be a trusted confidant. Find a reason to get your so-called director to come out so we can have a proper chat!”
The last words were almost squeezed out through Hu Ben’s teeth.
The doctor had no choice but to comply, arranging a meeting with the director at the time and place Hu Ben specified.
Jiang Fuyue: “Little Six, go personally.”
“Understood.”
Little Six left, taking the doctor with him, and Hu Ben also found a reason to leave the ward.
For a moment, only the family of four remained.
Han Yunru looked at her daughter, her eyes full of strangeness and complexity…
