Chapter 218 Encountering Xu Man at the Hospital
The thug with the flat nose was so frightened that he dropped his cigarette, and his legs started to tremble uncontrollably.
In the county town, who doesn't know Wei Donghai?
He was a notoriously stern-faced man, and his martial arts skills were extremely formidable.
Wei Donghai saw clearly that Li Xianglian was sitting on the ground, along with Xiao Lan, who looked disheveled. His anger flared up instantly.
"You two bastards, you've got some nerve!"
Wei Donghai hung the flashlight on his waist, took a step forward, and grabbed the collar of the man with the flat nose like an eagle snatching a chick.
He didn't waste any words and immediately delivered a side kick.
"Bang!"
The man with the flat nose, weighing over a hundred pounds, flew three meters away like a sandbag, crashing heavily against the base of the wall, where he remained for a long time before finally getting up.
Upon seeing this, the other long-faced man tried to run away, but was quickly pinned to the ground by several members of the joint defense team behind Wei Donghai, and ended up with a mouthful of mud.
"Captain Wei, spare us! We won't do it again, we really won't!"
These two were all swaggering just a moment ago, but now they're crying their eyes out, practically wetting their pants.
"Take him away! Lock him up and interrogate him properly!"
Wei Donghai ignored the two people and turned around to help Li Xianglian up from the ground.
"Sister Li, are you alright?"
Wei Donghai's voice carried a hint of self-reproach.
Qin Rushan repeatedly told him to take care of things before he left, but something happened right under his nose.
Xiao Lan pulled Li Xianglian to her feet and quickly looked down at her arm.
That once fair elbow is now covered in blood.
The brick wall was too rough, and the scratch was quite severe, with bits of brick still stuck in the wound, which was heartbreaking to see.
"Ouch, so much blood!"
Xiao Lan's eyes reddened with anxiety. "These heartless bastards, they used such force!"
Li Xianglian was in so much pain that her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and she bit her lip without making a sound. She didn't want to cause Wei Donghai any trouble.
"Brother Wei, I'm fine. I'll just wash it with clean water and apply some mercurochrome when I get back."
Li Xianglian endured the pain and forced a pale smile.
Wei Donghai looked at the wound that was still bleeding, his brows furrowed into a deep knot.
"That won't do! The cracks in the bricks of this county town are full of bacteria. If it gets infected, it'll be a serious problem!"
Without saying a word, Wei Donghai grabbed Li Xianglian's uninjured hand.
"The county hospital is nearby. Let's go, we need to get it taken care of."
"Really, you don't need to..."
"Sister Li, please don't stand on ceremony with me."
Wei Donghai's face darkened, revealing a hint of authority. "If Lao Qin comes back and finds out you were bleeding and I didn't take you to the hospital, with his temper, he'll definitely tear my office down with a wrench."
Upon hearing the name "Old Qin," Li Xianglian's heart trembled.
Thinking of the man's murderous expression if he saw her in this miserable state, Li Xianglian ultimately couldn't resist Wei Donghai's insistence.
The three rushed to the county hospital.
It was already evening, and the emergency room was brightly lit, with a pungent smell of soda filling the air.
Wei Donghai's uniform served as his pass, and he led them directly into a brightly lit consultation room.
"Doctor, please take a look at her arm, it's badly rubbed raw."
Wei Donghai shouted loudly.
The white curtain in the consultation room was lifted, and a figure in a white coat walked out.
The doctor was looking at a medical record when he heard the noise. He looked up, first at Wei Donghai, then at the two women behind him.
Wei Donghai recognized the face, paused for a moment, then nodded and greeted, "Dr. Xu."
Xu Man ignored him completely, her gaze passing over Wei Donghai and landing on Li Xianglian.
A hint of surprise flashed in those clear eyes.
"It's you?" Xu Man put down the medical record book she was holding and walked over quickly. "What happened to you?"
Li Xianglian also recognized her.
Isn't this the girl who bought hair ties at the entrance of the department store yesterday?
Wearing a white shirt, she has a very discerning eye and immediately fell in love with the one with lace trim.
"Dr. Xu, you two know each other?" Wei Donghai asked, somewhat surprised.
I saw him at the department store yesterday.
Xu Man replied briefly, then gently lifted Li Xianglian's injured arm, "Sit down first, let me take a look."
Li Xianglian was helped onto the examination chair, and the wound looked even more shocking under the light.
The blood had already congealed, but droplets of blood were still seeping from the edges of the wound, mixed with brick dust and dirt, making it very dirty.
"How did you get this?" Xu Man asked while cleaning the wound with tweezers.
Xiao Lan stomped her feet angrily beside her: "What else could we do? We ran into two clueless thugs who blocked our way in the alley! If Captain Wei hadn't arrived in time, we might have been in deep trouble today!"
Xu Man paused in her actions and glanced at Wei Donghai.
His gaze was cold, with a hint of scrutiny.
Wei Donghai felt a little uncomfortable under their gaze and coughed, "Those two bastards have already been taken back by my men. I guarantee they'll regret it."
"Hiss—" Li Xianglian gasped in pain.
Xu Man was using tweezers to remove the brick fragments from the wound. Although the movement was gentle, the wound was already painful, and this touch made it even more excruciating.
"Bear with it, it'll be over soon," Xu Man said softly.
She was very efficient and cleaned the wound in no time.
When the iodine solution was applied for disinfection, Li Xianglian was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and didn't utter a sound.
After disinfecting, I took out gauze and bandages and carefully bandaged Li Xianglian's wound.
After bandaging the wound, Xu Man took off her disposable gloves and threw them into the trash can next to her.
"Alright, just go to that window to pay. Remember what I said, don't get it wet these next few days, and come back on time to change the dressing." Her voice was cool and detached, but the concern in her words was genuine.
"Thank you, Dr. Xu," Li Xianglian said sincerely.
"Of course."
Xu Man nodded, then turned her gaze to Wei Donghai, who had been standing by like a gatekeeper. Her tone was unreadable. "Captain Wei, take him to pay the bill. I have other patients here."
After saying that, she turned and went behind the curtain in the inner room without giving anyone a second glance.
Wei Donghai touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything. He just led Li Xianglian and Xiao Lan outside.
Upon arriving at the payment window, Wei Donghai didn't hesitate and immediately took out money from his pocket to pay.
"Brother Wei, this won't do!"
Li Xianglian quickly stopped him, "If it weren't for you today, we don't know what would have happened to us. We'll pay for the medical expenses ourselves, so please don't try to take it from us."
"that is!"
Xiao Lan chimed in, "Captain Wei, you saved us two sisters; that's an immense favor. How could we let you spend money on us?"
Wei Donghai's dark face hardened, and his eyes glared: "This is an order! You two got into trouble on my territory today, and I failed to protect you, so I should pay for your medical expenses! Besides, I'll go find those two little bastards' families and make them cough up double the money!"
