"I don't care, and I don't want to hear your bullshit explanation."

The middle-aged man didn't plan on paying any attention to He Lingxiu, forcefully waving his hand to push her away and barked ferociously, "In any case, it's after taking the medicine you prescribed that my old man got into trouble. If you can't save my father today, I'll make you take responsibility! You'll be bankrupt, believe it or not?"

"Right, you bitch, He Lingxiu. I heard your Medical Arts weren't too bad and brought our old man here instead of a big hospital in the city, to this godforsaken place. Who would have known that you'd treat our old man like this!"

Right after the middle-aged man finished speaking, the middle-aged woman by his side also chimed in without showing any weakness, "If you don't give us an explanation today, not only will we tear this place apart, but we'll also make you pay with your life! Let me tell you, we are not to be trifled with!"

"This... I..." Already anxious, He Lingxiu felt even more at a loss for how to deal with the current crisis when confronted by the couple's relentless accusations.

He Lingxiu had also learned traditional Chinese medicine from Ling Zhenfei for several months now, and ever since she opened her clinic, she had always strictly followed the methods of traditional Chinese medicine taught to her by Ling Zhenfei to treat her patients. Up until then, there had never been any mistakes.

But unexpectedly, just a few days after she had attended to this old man and prescribed medicine, this problem had occurred!

"Both of you, mistakes in the medical treatment process are sometimes unavoidable,"

As the couple was berating He Lingxiu non-stop, they saw He Lingxiu's father, He Laogen, come out anxiously, and while pointing at the critically ill old man, he told them, "Look, your father seems to be in bad shape. Better let my daughter have a look, otherwise it'll be terrible if something does happen!"

"Bullshit! How dare you speak like that?"

No sooner had He Laogen finished speaking than the middle-aged man glared and pushed him, voicing his anger fiercely, "What do you mean by 'if something happens'? Are you cursing our father to die?"

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Although He Laogen's illness had been cured by Ling Zhenfei last time, given his age, he couldn't take such a shove from the middle-aged man and stumbled several steps backward. If not for He Lingxiu's timely support, he might have fallen and gotten hurt.

"Dad, are you okay?"

He Lingxiu held up her father and looked angrily at the middle-aged man, "You... How could you do such a thing?"

"So what if I did? I'm just giving you a little lesson. Let me tell you, if my old man really suffers any consequences, I'll make you both pay with your lives!"

Far from showing any remorse for nearly knocking down He Laogen, the middle-aged man didn't stop there and rolled up his sleeves, ready to hit He Laogen.

However, this time, just as his fist was raised halfway, it was firmly grasped by a powerful hand.

"Who are you?"

Startled by the sudden intervention, the middle-aged man turned around and found his arm seized by a seemingly frail young man. He couldn't help but roar at him with fury, "Kid, this has nothing to do with you. I'd advise you not to stick your nose where it doesn't belong and let go right now!"

"Heh, no wonder I've always felt that your rat-like face didn't seem like a good sign, turns out you're just a rat! But I'm not a dog, and yet I can make you turn into a dog that eats shit in an instant!"

The person who had suddenly intervened was none other than Ling Zhenfei.

At that moment, his iron grip tightly locked onto the middle-aged man's wrist, and then suddenly, his cold eyes flipped, and his arm gently led the way.

Consequently, the guy who had been so arrogantly strutting around just a moment ago, found himself involuntarily following the direction flung by Ling Zhenfei's single arm, ending up in a perfect "face-planted dog" posture. Face-first on the ground, he knocked out two of his front teeth, his mouth gushing with fresh blood.

"Uh..."

The middle-aged man, caught off guard by Ling Zhenfei's sudden move, had a face streaming with blood, but he was so stunned that he couldn't utter a single word, only able to emit a muffled sound like that of a corked bottle.

Looking at him in this state, he was as pitiful as can be, nowhere near as haughty as he had been before!

"You...who on earth are you? You've got some nerve! How dare you hit my husband, do you know who he is? You dare to strike him, you're dead, kid!"

Seeing her husband being hit, the middle-aged woman and the uninvited guests they had brought with them were all dumbfounded. It took quite a while before the woman seemed to go crazy and started pointing and screeching at Ling Zhenfei.

"I don't care who you are! If you dare to make trouble on my turf, I'll make sure you leave horizontally!"

Ling Zhenfei couldn't be bothered to even glance at the madwoman, and he walked over to He Lingxiu and her father, asking them with concern, "Are you both alright? I'm late!"

"No, not late, Brother Afei, you arrived just in time!"

It was He Lingxiu's first time encountering such a medical accident, and she was so anxious that she felt completely lost. Suddenly seeing Ling Zhenfei arrive was like spotting a savior.

Right away, with a pleading look, she pointed at the critically ill old man and said to Ling Zhenfei, "Brother Afei, you arrived just in the nick of time. This old gentleman, I don't know what happened... Please take a look at him!"

Ling Zhenfei had already taken in the old man's condition at a glance. He merely gave the old man a brief look but turned a scornful gaze towards the undeserving son and daughter-in-law, frowning and shaking his head, "Axiu, it's not that I don't want to help, but I'm afraid these two fools are actually hoping something happens to their father and don't want to get him treated!"

"You...what nonsense are you talking about?"

Whether she was struck by Ling Zhenfei's words because they hit too close to home or out of fake indignation, the middle-aged woman flew into a rage when she heard him publicly accuse her and her husband of not wanting to get medical treatment for their father.

She immediately put on an appearance of righteous indignation, pointing at Ling Zhenfei and shouting, "Kid, you must not know who we are yet. My husband is the Deputy Director of the Municipal People's Court, and I also hold an important position at Huaxia Bank.

We're both prominent figures in Binyang City, how could we possibly not want to treat the old man? Your accusations are completely unfounded! You're going to be legally responsible!"

"Haha, so you're both prominent figures, are you? I thought you were shameless enough not to care about losing face!"

Although the middle-aged woman spoke with seemingly righteous fervor, Ling Zhenfei remained wholly unmoved, continuing to sneer.

Ling Zhenfei had seen through the couple's intentions from the start. Clearly, they had seen their own father in trouble and were looking to extort He Lingxiu and her father.

Think about it, if they were truly filial, they would have taken their father to a major hospital for emergency treatment long ago. Would they have allowed their father, gasping for breath, to lie on the cold floor for so long without a care?

Moreover, they had called in such a large group of hands to support them, obviously trying to bolster their authority and create a major scene of medical disturbance!
